OYUS!

But if he breaks that vow, I'm done with the TNI. You know that a huge chunk of the members are Pro-Democracy, and since the CSS doesn't really want to merge anymore, you can't do without us. So you and TUM should be very careful where you tread.

Just so long as we don't make it too democratic. As in we keep adding positions and weighting TNI down.

If we just remember that this is not real life and therefore these aren''t actual jobs, so their ability to be carried out effectively is diminished due to that, I'm fine with it.

Just as a note, this was not authorized by SACTO.

However, if you are willing to RP, so am I. Non - military RP focused on spying and such .

Also, upon review, it seems you put absolutely nothing down for the Freedom of Thought slot. Please correct this.

Hello, SACTO.

May I join?

Hey, SACTO guys. You see what's going on down in the UL thread?

Shh, don't draw attention to it! I'm trying to join SACTO and you'll ruin it if they see I'm jumping ship!

I mean, uhh... Down with commies! Yeah... That works.

Last time we had Yalos/North Yemen, and Rad/Furry being dual SACTO/UL member, no harm done. I think both organizations are past those OOC stuff we did to one another back during TUM/Asigna days.

I guess you are all right now, since there is no risk of a war erupting between any of us (except maybe proxy wars).

In my opinion, RPs are about nation-building and having fun. It shouldn't be about having a winner and a loser. Both sides should win by improving the story of their nation, not in the destruction of another nation.

However that is just my opinion, and I know a lot disagree with me.

[Shazbotdom]

That's not how it works for War RP's. War RP's are about nation building in a manner that where there is a definitive winner.

That's why I try not to get involved in wars (and also because I'm not a military expert). Limited wars are fine I guess, yet some people seek total annihilation of their opponent, which kind of destroys the RP (as no one would want their nation destroyed, which they devoted time and effort to and had fun with). It is the same with nuclear launches, the RPs usually just die.
