"Before Tikal can grant any recognition to New England, we feel the need to set up a diplomatic meeting. We request you send a representative of your government to Dusk and Dawn at your earliest convenience."
We'll send someone at once, we apologize for the delay- there has been much in the way of organizational inefficiency since the process of reform began. -
This is back on following iamthey's now proof positive invalid nation. Iamthey was never given permission to roll into Lynneth's protectorate, therefore a runoff will still need to be conducted.
Looking through the posts since my original nation expired- lynneth never took action to reassert his protectorate. As far as I was concerned (and I think as far as anyone sensible here is concerned) the land I rerolled into was whitespace and not covered by any IC stipulation requiring permission.
If that isn't sufficient one could further note that he did not actually deny me rolling into the land either- he instead invited me to an IC conference to discuss diplomatic arrangements. During the time since then my nation has been a valid existing entity within the game- only pending an IC recognition which has nothing to do with my ooc status in the game itself. It's purely a matter of our fictional bilateral standing relative to one another.
That being said, I declared the nation less than three weeks ago so it has not yet again expired. That I haven't posted since is immaterial in the eyes of the rules, and that not withstanding, I fully intended to respond to lynneth's invitation- I have only lacked the time given RL conflicts and other priorities in cn proper. Regardless, if lynneth wants to block people from playing the game, particularly someone he welcomed into the game the first time around then I can't help but be confounded (Particularly given that I've done nothing hostile towards him).
I realized my nation had gotten wiped, and I wanted to come back and finished what I started, it's as simple as that. -

After a brief interlude of chaos, New England re-emerged on the east coast of the united states reconstituting its unheld (by the USNA) previous holdings. A resurgent senate under the leadership of Michael Rockafeller announced this reform, and promised a speedy return to services.
ooc: this is cnrp2 -
What's that make Non Grata?
Passenger pigeons. -
Bawwwww. Maybe you should fight back and not run and hide.
Bawwww Part 2. Maybe you should use some of your nations to fight instead of rubbing dove beaks on each other.
Once Unknownsmurf admits to wrongdoing the posters you quote will be satisfied.
Yeah it's a legitimate strategy, it's been used as such and it will probably continue to be used as such. That said, I'm not so sure about this:
Mostly because 25% of MI6 nations above 30k NS are in PM right now (14/56); in fact ~36% of MI6 nations that are in PM are above 30k NS (14/39). Sure that means most of their PM nations are firmly in the lower tiers, but it's not even close to exclusively their lower tier nations. I mean I frankly don't care that much, but I just wanted to point this out because the rhetoric that it's about protecting lower tier nations against Kaskus's wonder heavy monsters down there isn't entirely accurate.
Using PM in the upper tier under these circumstances makes a lot of sense. Given the stream of ghosts that have entered to support kaskus, Mi6 can't be certain what additional resources kaskus has at its disposal. Keeping a reserve on hand to perform staggers, and forcing kaskus to focus its efforts on nations already engaged reduces their vulnerability to the early war underdog effect (kaskus has more targets to spread nuclear strikes over while mi6 has fewer). Once kaskus expends their nukes and the ghosts stop we'll probably see nations move out of Pm.
Really it's just sad to see the same silly argument again and again. People who do so are either completely insincere, or far too dense to be taken seriously. -
Everyone accepts screenshots kim knows this.

But why are my collections down?!?!

Aloha snackbar.

It's something that's usually done at update, but seems Kaskus just couldn't wait to push the big red button. I'm just heading to my local church to pray for some more escalation, seems the only way an old fogey like me can stay relevant.
In fairness to smurf declaring at ten wasn't an error in it of itself, nuking requires 25 hours of prior war to unlock. This way the mi6ers declared on will only have an hour to retaliate at 11 tomorrow evening. There are many reasons to detract from this effort, but that isn't one of them. -
Congrats. Nice to see janax return.

Congrats AFM, good to see.

New England admires the Hungarian effort to expand its rail networks.

Francoism in action!

Michael Rockefeller would attend the conference on behalf of New England.

New England could only admit a state of perplexity and profound confusion at news of the pronouncement.

He was head of MK's econ for a while, never made it to Princess though. He's been GH in TOP for a few terms now I believe
Worst elements of MK. War criminals all of you. -
Not sure if there is too much or not enough iamthey here.
To much I think. -
So far what I've seen in this thread only further cements the fact that 'deffy' is ill suited to be a senator. All this talk of precedence, aged legitimacy, and privilege is unbecoming of LSF- its almost quaint in the feudal wellspring it draws upon. I think everyone is more than willing to talk this out. Before that can happen however, LSF needs to reel in their shameless roguing and accept some responsibility for the damage they did to my last collection. Libertarian socialism can't bring harmony to pink, LSF must align themselves to the systemizers regime or accept the due price of their reckless abandon.
It seems to me that the forces of anarchy, and chaos have been allowed to run rampant in the Pink sphere. I see a lot of talk about LSF raiding nations, and their come uppance as a retaliation. My question to this viewpoint is: why now? In my time as a member, I saw no case of rogue aggression originating from within our borders. If it goes back farther then my time, then all the better to question the timing of this "response". To me, those people spouting that nonsense are making history fit a narrative of unbridled tyranny and aggression. Well, I'm here to say: try harder, because its blatantly transparent.
The nations of Pink have a fundamental right to elect senators they feel best represent them, and that they feel identify them or their alliances. Rogue attacks, warrantless sanctions and political posturing should be called for what it is. If you have been attacked or sanctioned without notice, an appeal must be made to the wider world.
This is not a pink conflict, but rather a global one. Many alliances rely on the tech, and services of buyers from nations on the Pink team. Trade circles play an important, yet profitable role. The loss of stability and reliable alliances and nations damages the economies of alliances incapable of mounting a proper defense against Bones, untouchable and General how. This is on purpose: they cannot, and do not have the stomach to force their tyranny on anyone but the weakest among us.
At some point, this will spread. I ask only that you consider this: are you willing to fight this chaos in your own color spheres, or will you rise together to strangle this menace in its cradle? Time will tell...

The contrast between the response to musqueda and this is pretty funny.

Seems kind of ridiculous that a player can hold an implicit eternal protectorate over an entire continent with barely any maintenance to speak of. Isn't this one of the very grievances that CNRP2 was created to address?
