[NSG Senate] Lobby-ing a Scimitar

[United Provinces of Atlantica]

(disclaimer: I intentionally said NS Senate as many times as possible which explains why sound so odd)

I'll sponsor Lykens' NS Senate Resolution for starting-up the NS Senate by January 5th. The NS Senate could stand to gain from an activity bump after the holidays, and the Chief Admins of the NS Senate, with a set date, will be less likely to procrastinate. Procrastination is certainly an issue in the NS Senate and us NS Senate members do need to tackle procrastination in the NS Senate if we want the NS Senate to became active in the next incarnation of the NS Senate.

If y'all want to start on the 5th, we can do that, but I'm not going to have steady internet starting in 6 days time, just a heads up.

Also, yes, the admins are aware of the IRC dust-up and are discussing it.

No one, myself included has any major problem with calling it the NS Senate (although NSG Senate is still far superior). I object to abbreviating it to NSS, which not only does not sound good, but is also already the abbreviation of NS Sports.

[Jeckland]

wait who do i ban from irc

[Lykens]

NS sports is shite anyways who cares

I move to return to the name "NSG Senate". Except this time, NSG doesn't stand for anything in particular, just as an identifier since that's what we're known by.

I'll second that.

I'd like to report ANOTHER DOXXING by an admin on the IRC. Beta Test has finally crossed the line in my opinion. He DOXXED his music teacher in a malicious and damaging manner. It's one thing to DOX a member of the community, but to DOX an INNOCENT middle aged man is UNACCEPTABLE. I move that Beta be removed from his position as admin, and that he be permanently BANNED from the RP.

NO CONFIDENCE

This was Argentarino's original Black Sea Proposal.

I think we could do many things within the Black Sea. Obviously we could go with something akin to what Argentarino proposed, but there are a multitude of settings possible within that area.

From the top of my head:

• Slavic country oriented toward Russia
• Slavic country oriented toward Europe
• Disjointed country not knowing what to orientate itself to (Argentarino would like this)
• Turkish country oriented toward Turkey
• Turkish country oriented toward Europe
• non-Slavic and non-Turkish country oriented toward Russia
• non-Slavic and non-Turkish country oriented toward Europe
• non-Slavic and non-Turkish country oriented toward Turkey

I am partial toward Slavic country oriented toward Europe. Slavic society is probably the most easy thing to understand and play around with for this community. Being oriented toward Europe means we'd have orthodox left-right politics, though be aware we don't necessarily have to be EU or NATO members. Those two aspects are pretty important imo.

I think Bulgaria is an excellent example of what we could try to do. Rampant corruption, anti-communists, and angry beleaguered minorities of Turkish origin sounds like a fun combination. For those interested Al Jazeera made a melodramatic video about Bulgaria, it might be useful in understanding the gist of what I'm trying to get at.

BETA HAS STRUCK AGAIN. HE JUST FUCKING DOXXED HIMSELF! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE! HE DOXXED AN INNOCENT CHILD!!!

We should be Poland instead. *nod*
not really, please no

Also

Orthodox left-right politics

I see what you did there.

[Socialist Nordia]

Fourthed. I'm pretty new, but even I can see that "NSS" just sounds terrible.

The next iteration should be Franch. Just for ironic purposes.

Now that that is out of the way.

I'd be open to a franch component if we did something similar to what NWO proposed here:

I suggest a Franco-Gaelic country off the coast of Canada. It'd have about 42% French, 42% Irish Gaelic, 14% Native, 4% other, with most people practicing Catholicism. South of Newfoundland, East of Nova Scotia, its history would be something like:
-Originally inhabited by Native Americans, Leif Eriksson decides to take a holiday here in 1000. Leif Eriksson Day is a major holiday comparable to Christmas
-French decide to build some towns and colonies here.
-French are forced to cede the colony after the Seven Years’ War. The British proceed to encourage Scottish and Irish settlement on the island to weaken the French establishment and French influence.
-In the 1840s and 1850s many Irish settle the island, fleeing from the Potato Famine. Because of an already-substantial Irish minority they aren’t forced to learn English. Gaels increase to roughly half of the population and Irish starts to win out over Scottish Gaelic.
-The islanders decide to remain independent (like Newfoundland) and not join Confederation due to a very different culture from the mainland.
-The United States attempts to invade during the War of 1812.
-Tensions between the French and the Irish cause a constitutional convention.

Thoughts?

Albeit with some tweaks.

Ban franch.
