Highly doubt this is what happened, and given the region you're in, any assertions from you that this is the case are likely both false and malicious in nature.

I'm not even gonna bother writing a proper response to it, but you're more than welcome to come argue again and insult me in the TCB Discord Server since you clearly want that.

That's enough childish shitposting.

We got into "NSGP Discord chat" territory for a bit there. Scary. Thank you Sedge.

So, actually on-topic, I heard that those recent extreme sanctions are already doing some damage to relations between a MGC member and some UCRs that weren't targeted. Cutting off the nose to spite the face may have been a bad move after all. Who'd have thought?

Probably The Communist Bloc

If we call MGC sanctions 'OOC sanctions' or 'OOC blacklisting' one more time it might actually come true trust me guys

The heights in question, of course, being clout on a twenty-year-old dying webgame.

And the chances of you lot admitting that they are tantamount to OOC are just about the same chances as MGC's sanctions stopping all the raids they so abhor.

ok if they're functionally OOC and they are sanctions what would you have us call them

While the Government cannot be required to host messages it disagrees with, it cannot prevent residents from attending events hosted or sponsored by the Government that are open to the public and/or the region, unless those residents are individually convicted of a crime or association is proscribed with a declaration of war under Article 3, Section 4 of the Constitution.

So how are those sanctions going?

Hi, Souls. The sanctions were explicitly ruled legal, even if our Court played some weird legal games in getting there.

While the Court stated we could not restrict our own citizens from attending events, I don't believe that's going to be a huge impediment. After all, the only one of them working with BoM to our knowledge is Gladio.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Our allies in the Modern Gameplay Compact have also agreed to extend the full slate of sanctions we previously signed on to last year to The Communist Bloc.

Does the MGC intend to announce this?

It was effective with TNP's statement.

Bit informal of ya, innit?

On Europe

On 11 February, a coalition of raiders led by The Black Hawks invaded Europe using a medium-term sleeper puppet. They then defaced the region and banned half of its regional population, until the governor of Europe returned and expelled the raider nations. We wish Europe, and in particular their delegate Imperium Anglorum, all the best in restoring their region to its proper state.

The justification for this unprovoked attack against a neutral region was the Modern Gameplay Compact sanctions. Europe is not a member of the MGC; its strongest connection to it is its alliance with The North Pacific, and perhaps its membership of the World Assembly Legislative League, which also includes three MGC member regions. Regardless, Europe is not a party to the MGC sanctions, and rarely votes in the Security Council except to combat campaign spam telegrams. It has no role in "blacklisting [The Black Hawks] from further recognition."

It is a given that The Black Hawks, as well as all regions comprising the raider unity movement, have no regard for neutral regions. Such regions are either potential members to be subjugated into the cause of raider unity, or future targets for military aggression, as demonstrated once again by the raid of Europe. As we have stated for nearly two years, all regions who wish to avoid this fate must act strongly to declare their opposition to the raider unity movement and contain it to the regions it already controls. Sitting on the fence has never been a feasible or acceptable option, but to continue to insist on such a course when witnessing the damage done to Europe - a region with no dog in this fight - and the numbers involved, is to insist on willful blindness and amounts to tacit acceptance of this behavior.

Many of our allies and friends have tried to stay out of this fight, pretending that they can look the other way while people they previously pledged friendship and support to are attacked or blamed for similar attacks on other friends and allies. Their inaction is deplorable, and their accommodation has only enabled the same aggression and perpetuated this conflict. The longer this continues, the more culpable they are for the misdeeds to come. Once again, we call on our friends, allies, and neighbors to join us in confronting these disrupters of peace and stability in our community. Do your part to bring an end to this madness, because if you do not, eventually there will not be a side for you to join and the decision will have been made for you.

In response to this latest heinous act, we have updated our sanctions and will be applying them immediately. If you are not moved to follow suit, and join us in opposing these people in every corner of this game, then decide what you are willing to do, what really matters to you, and which values and principles you actually wish to protect. The differences are stark and the choice is a simple one. It is time to choose.

It is an honour to finally be sanctioned by the most influential* alliance of our time. This is the accomplishment of a lifetime and I am so glad for this recognition. I would like to thank the academy for this award, for my parents who believed in me, and all my mentors and friends along the way, I couldn't have done this without you. Rest assured this will only be the beginning.

*Ok you're right, that's not even a believable lie

[Rosartemis]

It is an honor

[The Ambis Government Puppet]

I'm dying. Palmetto is sanctioned. Oh dear. Oh my. How will we survive this. Caer Sidi as well...

Shame.

[Improper Classifications]

If I am to understand correctly, would the first section’s qualifiers of blacklisted regions extend to any group which acts this way?
