Subject: Question and slight praise

Well, it appears that once again nations of the world rally around a single religion and cause, in this case that of your Holy Father and his son your savior Jesus Christ. Whilst I am normally opposed to this sort of alliance, usually on the grounds that they are filled with religious bigots that launch Holy Wars every five seconds against the "blasphemous nonbelievers", I must admit, this group seems generally tolerant. Although, while I trust the current members to do what is right on most issues, I still doubt it will remain the peaceful defensive alliance forever...

Onto my questions, however. For one, and the one that is burning down the halls of my mind to be answered, is what sect of Christianity are you? Baptist? Independent? Unitarian? Universal? Anglican? I must admit to some biased views here. Most Christian alliances have been strictly Catholic, or any other denomination. It is quite hard to maintain a universal Christian alliance, due to its many sects. The Muslims and Buddhists and other religions have easier times going about such, as they are relatively smaller in sect number and therefore more accepting of other sects. Usually.

Secondly, I noticed you made a loophole about creating an invasive coalition were the majority of your member nations willing too. This seems terribly biased. As you must know, some Christians are more eccentric and extreme than most (A name that comes to mind are the small sect of Westboro baptists in our own nation), and would most likely vote in any way possible to go to war against Communist, or Islamic, or otherwise against Christian nations. How would you combat this? It seems like quite a loophole, were you to ask me.

Nest, what is this alliances opinions on taboo subjects that are controversial in Christianity, such as homosexuality or polygamy or other religions or female priests or the afterlife and how it is obtained? Such are vital, in my grand chancellor-ly opinion, vital to the construction of any theocratic groups ideals and stances.

Either way, best of luck in this endeavor. they say in my own religion, may the universe, the fates, and all other divine and natural beings look kindly too you.

MR, lets put it in perspective. That applicaton was copied and pasted, and it is obviously one that has had a lot of thought put into it. What people have copyright issues with you? There are tgs, mods, threads, ou should bring it up. Secondly, you may not get serious over NationStates, which is a shame what with all your "Hyper-Hornets" and whatnot.

NationStates is a serious game to some people, because it creates a universe where you have free reign. I challenge you to find any site like this.

Thirdly, you need to cool down and swallow your pride. Straight-up, you are one of the WORST RPers I have seen in a very long time. Take your factbook, for example. Before I went in there and literally GAVE you the numbers you should have, you were claiming millions of aircraft. Not realistic. At least two other people said that to you.

Fourthly, stop going aggro. You can't just be a newb about it when you lose a plane by saying "oh yeah but my planes have jammers so you cant use yur missiles". Work on your grammar, take the criticism. Look at my first posts, now look at my latest posts. If someone asks you not to bring soldiers to a gala, by the way, don't sneak in a platoon of special forces. You have no requirement to die.

And lastly, copyright is an issue. Copyright, by the way, is not just a slip of paper claiming royalties, but an authors work. I don't see people around stealing posts and changing words around to suit their needs (I use my own posts for that), but a good RP is hard, and I don't want Jackie Mc2010 here stealing them. Ask and credit. Nobody minds if it's not your survey, as long as you credit the OP.

Thank you, and work on your grammar, and stop abusing your caps lock.

May I please ask, if it's only a game, why did you get so angry? And no, it isn't JUST a game for a lot of people. It is a place where they can express themselves through writing, debate, ect. The fact is, Solm and New Azura are veterans of NationStates, and therefor, have a higher prestige and influence then yourself. I have NO idea if a new nation will be RP'ing 3 months from now, but I KNOW Solm will be, and so do others. That means we all have to respect one another, and if you plagiarized something, fess up to it, give credit to the original creator, and ask for permission next time. Its very simple, and not hard at all. There are SO many stikies to help your RP'ing, in fact, I will give you all the ones I have bookmarked:
