Shireroth

Welcome, Nargoth, or Nick, or whichever you will go by here. It is good to have you here in Shireroth. You are in familiar company here, I see. Yes, we have a limit of two active micronational citizenships plus Shireroth, for a total of three. I have marked your citizenship application APPROVED!! I ...

Bayen-- My last point was that you can't force people's minds and attitudes to change. You might force them to behave in a certain way, but that doesn't touch their inner core. In order for real change to occur, people's minds and attitudes need to be persuaded or convinced that those changes should...

(Usually more than once....)

It is a lot easier to relate to the levels of activity if you can actually see it on the graph. Thanks, dr-spangle. This is a very nice, extremely clear graph.

Corey--do you and others of your generation really detest this country so much that you don't want to live here any more? I have never understood that mentality. My generation was told that if we didn't like the way things were going, or the current laws, we should do something about them--get invol...

Hesam--

I am sorry to see you leaving Shireroth. You have contributed greatly to her community and social and intellectual structure. I wish you well as the Shahanshah of Babkha, and sady mark your emigration form APPROVED Please come back to visit us. You will be missed.

I am amazed at the extremely high level of involvement by nearly all of our citizens. Great work, and we have had interesting discussions, and not just posting for the sake of posting.

Back to basics, here. I am going to stay totally out of the new direction of the Sarah Palin thread, because it has already lost it civil tone. Now, about assessing someone: if you would critize or condemn someone just by relying on word-of-mouth, the gossip-mongers will have won again. All the Repu...

And we enjoy them. Thank you.

I do watch both sides, but I often am surprised and annoyed at the conclusions reached by some news readers. It is as if all their commentary is sllanting left I much prefer to hear news I don't have to translate from the bias into straightforward reporting.

Sorry, Mike, I guess I avoid the liberal media so much that the comments made, while basically fairly innocent in themselves, just seem part of the overall attack from the other side on any potential candidates in opposition to them.

You ought to reannex it because it belongs to you, the Duke himself!

I love the YAC motto--"We've got what it takes to take what you've got." We need to get some more of those stickers printed. The one on my computer from 4 years agp has finally died.

But the online battle and war sequences would help with the atmosphere, the weapons, and the actions of the armies. This is something I have never even considered except while attempting to learn about it in the news.

Hey, look!! Twin posts!!

So now I know why all of you are so good in recwars. I've never played anything more complicated or recent than Donkey Kong and Mario Brothers (on my son's system), so I know nothing of this genre.

Thank you, Corey. I would never have guessed.

Yes, it's cute and it's a good gotcha! to Rove, but the question is, did you actually listen to Governor Palin's speech? Just listening to Daley making cutsie tells nothing substantive about the candidate herself. Sorry, Erik I consider this fluff, not news.

Who's Pony??

You're welcome! Have a great evening!! Oh, btw, what instrument do you play? I played piccolo, flute and bassoon (for Handel). Take pics, please.

Edit for completeness: also guitar

Well, it's time to wish the Duke of Yardistan a very Happy 16th Birthday!! Happy Birthday, Prodigy!! Hope you have a very Yardistani day!!

Your Niiftiness--

Please get well. We'll all be praying and/or wishing you well. We will miss you here and online. Take care of yourself. You are well-liked and respected in the micronational world, and personally as well.

Richard = Pony???

:thumbsup I have just finished watching the speech by Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at the Republican Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, and have been ipressed by her forthrightness, her originality, her intelligence, her convictions, and her meeting issues and criticism from certain opposing Blogs an...

Very cool.

A cliffhanger!! Give us more!!

Especially along what is called by some wags, The Left Coast. The interior of the state is less likely to vote as consistently Democrat as the west coast.

Why am I not surprised? (facepalm)

Thank you, My Lord Duke. I am humbled and grateful for this additional honor which you have bestowed on me.

That is one of the cutest ones I've seen yet!! I've often wanted one like that. Thanks for the design, Ari.

As I've said on many previous occasions, earthquakes come in a lot of different sizes: from those you can't even feel, and which are only detectable by sensitive machines placed along the fault lines; to those rare ones which cause massive destruction and loss of life. The horrible earthquakes in va...
