Well there we are. It's passed. 8,721 in favour, 4,164 opposed.

Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

If you can say with a straight face that a particular person, party, or ideology has "no set policy" on genocide, you are quite literally saying that that person, party, or ideology is in favor of genocide under certain situations.

You're not really helping your case here, and may consider setting a policy - I'd recommend "AGAINST".

Did you also get the figures for indivdiual nations voting, as well as the delegate-weighted figures?

Population = just under 20 million. Economy = only Thriving. Average Life expectancy = c.60 years.

The delegate weighted figures are all that matter, BA. The number of actual nations voting is wholly irrelevant.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

I must say congratulations are in order. Not only have you managed to destroy Nazi Europe, you have also managed to completely shred any credibility the Security Council had left.

I must also congratulate the mods. The amount of flaming and flame-baiting that has gone on in this thread unpunished has been a thrill to watch.

Why not report it then? If you think there's rule-breaking, then you could report it in the moderation forum.

I think in order for me to be a Blue Falcon, I would have had to actually be your buddy. That was the mistaken assumption here. The only reason why Lone Wolves United had any relations with Nazi Europe at all was because of Oh My Days. It was him who I would call a buddy and a fellow raider, but not anyone active in Nazi Europe at the moment, although German Dragons is starting to change my opinion about that. I don't know any of you from a complete and total stranger and Nazi Europe has completely isolated itself from the NS world and raider community as a whole due to the extream(ly well placed) paranoia of its remaining members.

The Gregorach wrote:I'd also think that the move violated the doctrine of Raider Unity, which if memory serves is a doctrine you support.


That depends largely as to whether or not you would still consider, or in some cases ever consider, Nazi Europe to be raider. I would say that majority consensus, even amongst strict adherers to the principles of Raider Unity, which I consider myself one of, is no, with my additional caveat being "not currently". Individual members might still be raiding under other flags, but I am unaware of the last time Nazi Europe actually raided anything in earnest, and throwing up the "Invader" tag does not magically make your region raider. It is a designation to be earned through action, not declared, and Nazi Europe will have plenty of opportunity in the coming days to earn the title.


Yeah, well it's kind of hard to raid other regions when your own is wide open and the threat of outright destruction, as opposed to the jacking up of the RMB and embassies that normally occurs to the target of raids. If we'd had any friends, now...

Well the delegates have inflated votes, so it isn't exactly 'pure' democracy. The purest form of democracy on NS is the election of regional delegates, but it is because of this intermediate process that the WA is not a pure democracy.

The existence of endocaps hardly means that regional delegates are capable of being democratically elected where the sitting delegate doesn't want them too.

That's sort of what I was trying to say - delegate elections are the purest form of democray in NS, but because of the inflated votes gained through these elections, resolutions are not truely a democratic ordeal.

However, my main point was that democracy by itself or in these situations is more a monster ('mob rule' as you and I like to call it) than a freind.
