II Roleplay Mentors, officially the William Wallace of RPers all over Nationstates.

They may try to take our regions, but they'll never take our freedom to RP.

Fantastic.

I laughed a lot harder than I should have.

I know that the whole post was just quoted and was awesome in its own way, it's just that this delights me for reasons I can't explain.

Therefore, it is cultural appropriation when British people use the word "Yankee".

To foreigners, a Yankee is an American.
To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner.
To Northerners, a Yankee is an Easterner.
To Easterners, a Yankee is a New Englander.
To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter.
And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast.

If worst comes to worst, expect Toronina to take part in the battle for Haven!

PS: Half expecting Max himself to get involved

Yup. He will descend in shining armor, wielding a flaming sword, backlit by the sun. Each step will make the earth itself tremble, and both armies will lay down their weapons and prostrate themselves as he walks before them. And then, with but a wave of his hand, he will sweep away Haven's password.

And then The Black Riders will storm in, eject everyone, tear up the paintings, shit on the tables, and graffitti genitals and slurs on the walls.

If that is The case I stand in The Line with Mall. Your behavior and rage is something hardly ever encountered in a GamePlaying Spheres, where unlike you Roleplayers, players use their WA-nations as a 'Soldiers', being personally involved to actions taken, not only in Imagination but also in The Reality of The Game environment.

Reality comes before imagination.

Errr.... is a game. Not real life. We're all playing on the same medium but have different perspectives of the 'game'. RPers write about a make-believe country and write politics and, well indulge in a bit of creative writing. R/D players have make-believe countries and use them to have fun using game mechanics. It's still a game. A make believe world where pretend nations exist in a social network.

You want reality? I challenge you with this:

Go somewhere public, I dunno, a playing field or beach or something. Find a group of people playing, say, football (or soccer for our American friends). You prance over to them with your American Football and insist to these bunch of strangers, that they play your game. When they say "no thank you" you impose it on them any and throw the ball at them, tackle them etc etc.

In your "reality", what do you think would happen? I'm going to say - at worst....... a savage beating.

The USA is a conglomerate run and created by the jews, freemasons and alike (SKull & Bones, the illuminati, etc). Denying it by any mean, with any argument, is playing their game, on their field.
You can definitely not say it's a christian country. There's no other country in the world with as many different (heretical) churches than the US.
Plus, it's the field and soil of the satanists, with the satanist pope being an american. There's also the cradle of the ultra-decadent "american culture", especially music and movies. No true Christian would allow this to happen on it's land.

Plus, the americans have many times proven to be under average when it comes to intelligence and overall culture. Talking about our Holy Lord is not enough, you have to keep yourself morally fine, and there's the point : rare are the morally decent american christians today.

Final thing : Who was the last christian president of the US ?

Um..... hmmm.... summertime O' joy.

To members of International Incidents,

First of all, thank you for all your support in joining in with this letter. It's great to see members of the RPing community supporting each other and, most of all, spreading the word about the resolution. Said resolution has indeed been submitted and, at the time of writing this post, still requires 62 approvals to pass to the voting stage in the World Assembly Security Council.

A few of you have resorted to more aggressive means to counter this resolution and R/D on RPing regions as a whole. Remember that we're a lot better off than many think. The proposal in question has to be approved before it reaches the voting stage. In the voting stage, it has to receive a majority of votes. I think that with all the RPers we have supporting this resolution's failure, in addition to a large number of gameplayers who oppose it, it should be fairly easy to kill the resolution in the voting stage. And even if it passes, Haven won't go down very easily because not only would numerous RPers mobilize to defend it, but countless defenders would as well—after all, they try to prevent raids where they can, and Mallorea and Riva has stated several times that this resolution is intended to open Haven to raids. It's a raid they can see coming from a long way away.

The real significance of the resolution is the dangerous precedent it sets in its claim that a region's password can be removed and the region opened for raiding just because the author thinks raiders can "do more" with the region. The resolution's poor wording literally ensures its failure. Arguing with Mallorea over his resolution is pointless—Mall won't change his opinion—but continuing to spread the word about the resolution's implications is vital to ensure its failure.

Again, I would like to stress that we don't go too far in our attempts to counter the resolution and address the issue of Mallorea and Riva's conduct as a whole. Some of you have given flak to a few moderators who have responded to concerns with statements like "R/D is an integral part of regional mechanics" or have otherwise locked threads where heated discussions were taking place. Several of you probably consider the moderation team to be harshly against RPers. They're not. They're just doing their jobs in stating facts from administration and then enforcing the rules.

Remember, it's an RPing region being invaded. We have the moral high ground. Don't lose it. There are a number of moderators who are sympathetic to RPers and would like to see a solution implemented that satisfies all sides. Yet more of them agree that Mallorea's proposed resolution was a bad idea. Others have expressed their thoughts and indicated they will push for solutions at the upper administration level. These are huge victories—much larger than anything we'd gain if Mallorea were removed from his post as moderator.

I agree that Mallorea has exhibited conduct that undermines the responsibility expected as a moderator. And as a mentor whose job it is to aid and represent the RPing community, I'll continue to push for that to be addressed. It's why I contributed to this letter and signed it. I do understand, however, that Mallorea is entitled to act as a player—as you or I—and that "trolling" through WASC resolutions is fully legal and considered "just politics."

We have the moral high ground. It's going to be beyond difficult to get that resolution through the Security Council. This debate has once more sparked the controversy surrounding the raiding of RP regions, and there are many moderators who are sympathetic to RPers and support any possible solution. At the same time, any modification to the game's mechanics would take a very long time to program; accordingly, there is not going to be a fix any time soon. This is why it's imperative to continue to push for a solution, to continue to think of ideas of what we can do to appease not just the RPing community, but the other communities on NS as well. Meanwhile, it's vital to maintain our status as the better and more mature side.

We've done well. Contrary to what some of you may think, the moderators have been very lenient in responding to this controversy and have issued warnings with, from my observation, extreme care. RPers aren't being persecuted; we have more support among the moderators than GPers do. And we should continue to push for a solution to be implemented. If any of you have any ideas, feel free to propose them in Technical.

Good job, guys. Again, I can't stress enough, keep civil. Don't attack moderators for doing their job. Don't break rules. Don't get too aggravated when arguing with Mallorea (his goal is, really, to make you mad). We're doing really well, so let's not ruin it. A lot of progress has been made and I think there is a very high probability we will be able to solve this.

Let's face it, an opt-out feature would ruin trolling and vandalizing other regions for fun raiding. And that would also ruin counter-trolling defending.

In light of the infamous DOS attack:

A failover static site with AWS S3 would have been impervious to a DoS/DDoS attack.

We used to run one but gave it up. We actually DoSed ourselves with it at one point.

[United States of Cascadia]

Fellow citizens! Today we've been attacked. Many lives have been lost, many more injured. But as we return to our regions, we seek to rebuild and rebuild we have. Thanks to our great moderation team, led by the all-knowing and all-powerful [violet], who is second to none but Max himself, our land is just as it was before. To an outside, it would be impossible to notice the difference.

But to us, members of the greatest forum on the vast dimension known as the Internet, all is not well. A terrible, despicable, outrageous crime has been committed against us! Our great site was temporarily brought down by radical terrorists. For some hours we were unable to reach our nations, answer our issues, lead our regions and waste time aimlessly!

You may ask, why do they hate us? They hate our freedoms, our freedom of religion, our freedom of speech, our freedom to vote and assemble and disagree with each other. They seek to defeat our Glorious Empire, but they are too cowardly to face us on the battlefield, so they attack us from behind their computer screens!

I propose we find the evil-doers who did this, hunt them down and DESTROY THEM UNEQUIVOCALLY!!!

I thought this said "***MAJOR OUTRAGE*** [now over]" at first, and thought that the whole "Liberate Haven" thing was over. I am glad that the outage is over, but I'm still a bit disappointed.

I could see the whole of NS turning into spam ads over it.
