Partido Liberal Constitucional wrote: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.


Ah the Black Sea, that was the one I worked with him on. I am currently working on (with West) a Mediterranean proposal.

So I start kicking people for a joke, SovCan joins in, then later removes my op. That doesn't seem like mixed messages at all. Nope, perfectly clear. I particularly liked the explanation I got.

I wish to address the doxxing incident of last week. The incident was unacceptable. Given the nature of the dox and considering the genuine remorse shown by Freyhill, he will be banned for one week from the IRC. Additionally, he is hereby WARNED on the forums within the roleplay. It is an established power of NS OPs to have disciplinary control over their threads. From this point on, the Senate Administrators will be considering actions on the IRC with regards to discipline on the forums. We recognize the difficulties in monitoring the channel and will continue to work to improve that, and we welcome any advice, feedback, and assistance from the community.

It has also come to the my attention, as Head Admin, of a purported doxxing incident involving Merizoc some time ago. I have talked with Merizoc about his conduct and the incident, and indicated to him the standards of conduct expected of Senate Administrators and what I believe to be the standards expected by SovCan, as channel owner, of the IRC OPs. Because the event occurred before the administration collectively decided to change its policy regarding IRC actions' disciplinary consequences, Merizoc will not be punished ex post facto. I will continue to remain appraised of the conduct of the administrators, and I regret the incident personally.

Note: the above decision is the sole opinion of NS Senate Administration and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of NS Moderation. It has no effect outside this roleplay.

I have advice. Don't take op from people who previously took proactive action on doxxing for minor reasosn, but keep people who have engaged in it.

I'm not being funny, but in the entirety of the time I've been active in the senate there has only been two incidents where an admin faced serious questions about his conduct and both times they've been Merizoc. Why does he keep getting off scott- ree?

I could have sworn we made it clear a while ago that it was expected of the admins to take action for IRC activities, even against their own if needed.
