Hawaii is beautiful

Sordica wrote:Hawaii is beautiful

Okie... Wait are you in Hawaii or are you just saying Hawaii is beautiful because you can?

Well that's my fault for not getting it. Trouble is, on a site like this whatever you say in jest there's always someone who Actually Thinks That™.

Correct. Sorry for not specifying.

Looking at the older polls done on this region its really sad to see how many nations have cte'd

We've gained a lot at the same time too

Kindly refrain from stirring the pot on race issues right now. We try to keep the board family friendly because there are people of all ages here, regardless of any other demographic. If you wish to have that discussion, there's plenty of forum topics for that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I mean if we can talk about Donald Trump's proposition to ban Muslims from entering the United States as though it's reasonable on any level, I hardly think an entirely innocuous (and broadly accurate) comment on the demographic homogeneity of this site where we pretend to be countries is going to hurt the children. And honestly, there's no call for the "no smoking" sign tone, either.

And, indeed, on account of that same homogeneity, you can count yourself entirely safe from any risk of me actually discussing anything race-related - or "stirring the pot", as it's called when the aforementioned demographic-who-apparently-shall-not-be-named are offended. I tried it once; it's incredibly tiresome.

I feel like if it were me I might desaturate the colours a tad, but it looks good to me.

While I don't recall this conversation taking place, it's not the generic political discussions I have the problem with. My point was, and is, that there are certain issues that are very polarizing to people and I would rather keep the RMB civilized as some of those discussions tend to devolve into name calling and flaming. While your comments were likely not meaning anything, the internet is terrible at transmitting the intent of a statement.

Sunthreit wrote:Possible improvements for this flag?

Well, personally I much prefer the color scheme of the Septopiarot/early Sunthreit Flag (the dark red, yellow and light blue). I'm not to fond of the current alternating boxes either (and i'm positive there's some sort o' fancy name for it, but I don't know it). The swords are alright though. In any case do what ever your heart desires.

I'd probably say the general unspoken rule is mutual respect, don't deliberately provoke each other and remain calm and respectful(tbh that's a better way of arguing than getting all emotional, people are more inclined to listen to you if you're calm). I wouldn't say that we should not approaching other arguments/topics but rather we should avoid arguing and approaching topics in certain ways.

For an example in area's where theirs a good chunk of subjectivity and a general lack of data stress that you're only working on your opinion,reasoning,etc. Basically I'd say we shouldn't avoid topics but rather avoid provoking people when discussing topics. It's important to expose oneself to alternate viewpoints or you risk surrounding yourself with people who'll only agree with you and stagnate your intellectual journey.

if white people aren't diverse and everyone else is, does that mean diversity is less white people?

I don't think any part of that was what I said or implied, but if that's what's going I'll take it.

Arburg wrote:I'm pretty new to Nation-States, though I played about two years ago for a week. Can someone fill me in on the purpose of regions and what influence is?

Regions are simply communities of nations, each nation is by default placed into a Region. It is impossible to be region-less (as far as I know, that is). For the most part regions are generally centered around a specific "theme" or idea. For example you have (perhaps too many) Communist/Socialist regions filled entierly of nations (and thus players) who for the most part feel strongly about their region and ideals and generally stick around becuse of it. There are all kinds of these regions ranging from all kinds of ideas such as Communists/Socialists-Monarchists-Conservatives-Liberals, Fascists, and more. These regions are what I call "Political Regions" ,or regions that subscribe (for the most part) to a specific ideology, however there are also other types of regions such as this one the NEW WARSAW PACT which has no such unifying ideal. This is simply just a community of people who tend to do all sorts of things and get along ,these kinds of "Community regions" are the most common. There are also others such as "Arts" and "RP" regions which may vary in themselves on what exactly they are. Por ejemplo (for example) Arts can range from Classical Literature enthusiasts to fervent Japanese Animation (or "Anime" as they tend to insist it be called) fans. Where as RP regions can be regions entirely devoted to Role-playing.

IN SHORT
*Regions are simply "Communities" or collection of nations
*All Nations (and thus players) are in a region, to be Region-less is impossible
*Regions usually have a central theme around them such as "RP" Regions "Socialist" Regions, or "Japanese Animation" Regions
*Our Region is simply a community with no unifying ideal "Instead it is simply what it is" ( I don't know how to describe this region)

There's also a whole "Raider" and "Defender" (R/D) thing that I don't really know anything about but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can explain to you .

Influence is (from what I understand)is gathered overtime and is used for Region Officers/Positions although I'm not entierly sure about this either, so anyone else feel free to explain if you would like.

Just to throw in my five cents.(writing from , pls be kind...)
Just would like to add
-Would probably change your political category to Ideological
- Make a Political category for regions centred around running a government(Legislation writing, elections,debates,etc)
-Tbh I'd probably say we do have a unifying theme if mutual respect.
-Regions can have a variety of aspects
- While NWP primarily community focused also has elements of
*** RP(regional lore)
*** Arts(Sibling-hood of the Quill, can't remember the name of the drawing group)
*** Political(as in a regional government)
-Types can change with time
-in the Past NWP has been
*** R/D( don't want to too far in TG me or Null for more details(Null would probs be better considering he was actually around for it)
*** Idealogical(At one point was part of the Natsov movement in the WA)

Nah it's an NS issue chain where you go to war with a fictional country called Brasilistan
I'm p sure it's because they abduct your nation's children for diamond mine slavery or smth in the issue.
