Shireroth

Finding new citizens for the hobby is the main issue that my *CENSORED* wants to confront, since I believe it's too large of an issue to be handled by any one nation, and if we don't work together there will be all sorts of nasty competition that would threaten to undermine the whole effort.

Also agreeable. As for 'passive warefare', not to sure about that. You might just be being a bit paranoid on that one Oh, I'm probably paranoid. Too many people say I perceive slights where none were intended for me to ignore. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you....

Combine the two. Make the pool only availble to loyal, active citizens, but remove the one-citizenship only requirement. You'd still be getting loyal, active Kaisers; you'd just have more options to choose from. Also, what if Erik doesn't WANT to be Kaiser more? Yes, he's doing a very good job durin...

Then how was she elected?

Complete and total lack of other candidates. In some cases, a complete and total lack of other active citizens.

To be fair, blood doesn't wash out very well.

If you get something going and Gman gives us an estimate, I'll chip in some cash for the cause.

I disagree for roughly the same reason. Other states would understand a decrease in activity from someone who has become the Kaiser(ses) of Shireroth. If the Kaiser(ess) didn't get around to visiting other countries they held citizenship in, well, its those country's losses. The policy seems to be d...

Rhetorical questions and vague, unsupported points are the backbone of any good argument! Remember kids: if they can't prove it's not true, it must be true!

I spent many nights crying and sleepless for fear of him harassing me in person. I stayed away from windows, I tried my best to blend into my background and avoid being looked at, I looked over my shoulder every day all day. I will never believe that statement. Okay, first, wtf. Is this really true...

How the sun seems to shine brighter, how birds are singing in every tree, how there's a spring in the step of young children, and even the air seems to taste sweeter? Isn't that proof enough? Oddly enough, at least where I'm living, this is basically true. We had some bitter cold days but all of a ...

It does work better, but it's also important to remember that orders generally only affect citizens of the nation of which the power behind the order derives.

... that was a complicated sentence.

Um, you can't order people of other nations do to squad.

Guessing Fides is suggesting we all pitch in five or ten bucks to help Gman pay for his internet so he doesn't have to pay a larger lump sum himself.

Oh, so you're going to remove the one-nationality Kaiser restriction? If I'd known that was on the table I might have stuck around in the country myself.

Pretty sure Ari's saying that there was a prank, it worked pretty well, and nobody should feel bad about what they did or what came from it. I guessed that was his view from the beginning, and that he was hoping the poll would have a lot more of the first response than the second. I voted the second...

Wait, what?

Well I'm glad you're amused. You weren't (still aren't?) the person that has a guy with a sword threatening to gut you.

True that, Jonas. True that.

Okay okay

Clearly, Shireroth wasn't involved. It was merely the vast majority of its citizens, acting individually without approval on the same sort of strategy by sheer coinicence, agreeing to mess with a known unstable guy in a completely friendly and totally not at all mean way despite confirming suspicion...

Yeah, well, it doesn't think you're exactly the life of the party either!

(I know, I know)

I will grant you that you tried, Scott, and I will somehow grant you that you thought it would turn out okay. But, well, I think what you think people want to hear and do and what people really want to hear and do are two very different things. I just don't understand how a two-nation conspiracy wit...

Kaiser Ometeotl I wrote:I have a nagging suspicion is had to do with JAAAADDDIEEEE!!!!!!!!

Ayep.

There's a standing death threat on me if I ever enter the state of California. So far, I haven't been back to see how well it's going to be enforced.

You ("you" being anyone that did this for more than a day or so) never thought it was harmless. That's what I refuse to believe. It was party time. At least Ari's man enough to admit he has no regrets. I'd check the SEP myself for more information, but some non-citizens have access to it and some do...

I participated when it was only vague statements designed to make him paranoid. I'm down with that sort of thing. Remember Operation: Banana Peel? Same deal, just that didn't go so well. But when it became obvious that this was going to go way above and beyond the snide comment phase, and you all go...

*hugs*

All I can offer at the moment, I'm afraid. You hang tight there. Lotta people on the other side of the interwebs like you and are looking out for you.

If by "they" you mean Nelaga, we aren't limiting anything at all, nor are we even capable of doing so, because Raikoth, not Nelaga, is in charge of this effort. We happily comply with Raikoth's awarding of the contracts to whatever firms of whatever nationalities they see fit.

This whole thread doesn't bode well.

You okay there chap?

Awards: None since like 2004

I dutifully listed my Silver Sword that I received from defending Shireroth during the Anarchy22 attacks, and you should too!

I think, based on some of your statements to me during the "Harvey Rebellion" on your general view of micronations, I know which option you prefer. So the only question for me is if I want to encourage or discourage it.
