The "recognized alliance" part, I assumed, consisted of alliances that you wanted to join you. An "unrecognized alliance" part makes a lot more sense because the vast majority of alliances are ones you don't consider canon.
I reread the RMB, and yeah, I should probably try and improve my attitude and hold inside my outbursts. I won't go any further than that.
Finally, it's bold of you to assume that the GA won't do anything. A slow start doesn't mean I'm trying to stagnate the alliance intentionally, or that I will stagnate its growth any longer. If anything, we should be asking ourselves if the UF is actually going to do anything. We may have a serious UF member shortage at hand, and I really hope we do.
By my count, 3 (Eurum, myself, and TKI) nations have either officially or unofficially left the GA, and many others have privately told me they lack confidence in the GA's ability to get anything done. (Out of respect for those people, I will not name them; it is up to them whether or not they wish to be involved in that conversation.) The GA died before it was even created. There is no interest nor excitement anymore. While you may not have intended for there to be stagnation, you nonetheless created it.
With the UF, however, several nations have expressed private interest in joining should the GA, as expected by many, fail. One nation, South Olpen, has already joined, and I have full confidence that number will grow with time.

Ironically, I'd feel the same way with the GA. If I was a random person, I'd lack confidence in the GA's ability to get anything done. Now, it's up to SM and myself to prove basically everybody wrong, which is more than possible.
What I don't get is why several nations would state their lack of confidence in the GA privately, or state that they wish to join the UF privately. Therefore, everybody who has expressed interest should send a telegram to Global Alliance-Military to prove it. I won't be surprised if I get one or two responses, exaggeration is very common and I don't see why several people would go to Meretica to express their disapproval.

I, personally, wouldn’t write a new book IC. Cheapens the emotional drama we’re building. IRL, though, that could be a bestseller.

A number of people came to me during the NWO crisis. If they chose to go to you, that's up to them. You can't make them do it.

The NWO crisis occurred during the UCA era, at a time when the idea of the GA didn't even exist.
I do think you're telling the truth but that you're also exaggerating. If I don't receive responses in a few days, I'll assume you're lying. You may not be, but there's no evidence to prove it.

...by your argument, there's no evidence to disprove it, meaning that you can't prove I'm lying either.

Are you unintentionally admitting it?
Or are you just trying to create an unresolvable problem? You also keep forcing me to discuss what I'm doing if nobody responds, which I find unlikely but have to discuss nonetheless.
I could ask the mods to check your TGs for NWO-era people in the unlikely event that nobody responds since this problem will branch into even more problems.

I'm not admitting that I'm lying because I'm not lying. I'm using the logic you are currently using to show how unlogical your statement was.
I don't believe that you can request that mods go through other people's TGs; that seems like a violation of rules, but I'd have to check to be sure. I'm not trying to create an unresolvable problem, either. When the GA fails (trust me, it's a when issue here), the blame will largely rest on your shoulders. Unless you'd like to blame me, of course. I believe the phrase you used in the RMB is something along the lines of "this will result in the end of the GA" after I announced my withdrawal and opposition to the continuation of the GA.

On second thought, it might be. Mods can go through TGs for serious rule violations, but I don't think they can go through them for things like these. And, let me be honest here, that's why I said I don't have confidence in the GA's abilities, not because it hasn't done anything but because you chose to leave. I actually believed that the GA would fall as a result of your exit, but it's your new attitude that killed that belief. I now think that the GA has a chance of survival, and I'll have to help it survive.

You seem to be implying that your sour attitude, hateful comments, and constant RMB insults aren't enough to advise players to stay away from the GA.

It isn't enough. It depends on how you handle things afterward, and another main goal is to prove to GA players I'm not as thoughtless as I was 2 weeks ago. Change works, unless human nature kicks in and people use their knowledge of your old self more than your current self.
So far, that change hasn't happened because of this incident you don't seem keen on ending.
I honestly thought this was a relatively chill discussion until that post. My current posting style is probably my main posting style if you felt like you needed to continue this, and there's no rude intention from most of my posts.

It's called a warning shot.
Except, there's no follow-up after the warning if you do violate it.

The way you treated both myself and SM in the RMB seems to counter this. You would do fine for a few posts and then explode if we dared to mention how long it had been taking. We both offered more than once to create the threads and handle the IC issues. But you continued to say that it was your alliance, and that you would handle it. That doesn't seem to me like a member-led alliance. If the GA was truly a member-led alliance, you would have taken advice from both SM and myself (alliance leaders and thread makers) and consistently acknowledged points we both provided with decent rebuttals. Instead, we ended up waiting 5 weeks and still have had no word from mods following a mess-up of your own making after you didn't follow the advice given by SM and me. If SM and I agree on something, that ought to be the first sign that there is something that ought to really happen.

I enjoy doing it anyway on any region whenever somebody leaves us. It originally reminded them that we still existed and could ban them from the region, but now it's more of a habit.
