  1. ODN's governance has been democratic for a long time; open though?No, not hardly.
    I don't know where you are pulling that out of (ass perhaps?). I was just regular member for a month and now got into gov and I can't say that much goes behind closed doors the GA has any need or interest to know. Of course there are certain matters that must be handled in private as anyone with half a brain understands though.
    A regular member that was a leader in INT a while ago. Thats the difference between someone who joined CN a month ago compared to you who has been in CN for uh well I assume years?

    I hardly see what that has to do with the openness of ODN governance though. I didn't have any special access to the gov sections in ODN boards before getting elected even if I am an ancient member of CN community.

    True enough that I might have easier time grasping matters than a new player but that doesn't mean the new player doesn't have the equal chance to put things together in his head as I did.

  3. It's curious to see that Real Life values (transparency, accountability etc.) play such a big role in CN that My Dear Shantamantan (MDS)can use them to successfully remain a thorn in the side of a much bigger and more powerful (in-game) adversary.The democratic form of ODN is being exploited, short term, against them; or rather, against their government.Long term MDS is instead probably doing them a favour (ODN government included)... Time will tell.At any rate it's fun for the game: I look forward to see how this situation unfolds (thanks Schatt for your usual quality entertainment. :) )

    We at ODN will just have to endure these "leaks" for we will not compromise our open democratic governance because of such petty nuisances. In the end TWiN and blogposts at least for me have so far been more amusing than "damaging".

  4. I remember when Norden Verein got hit, man that pissed me off. I had supported you all openly against TGE and Int at the time, and wasn't a big fan of Slayer either. I remember joining their channel and saying that this won't be an easy fight for TPF/Int/TGE, because you guys could fight. The sad thing is many like me, who supported you publicly, were too afraid to stand up for you like we should have. Often times as hard as it is to admit, it's much easier to be like Sparta and not care only obeying and answering to whoever's in power.

    I can see that you don't remember it quite that well then. For example, INT didn't even exist when NoV was rolled and none of it's predecessors took directly part in the rolling. I wish we would had though, the fewer nazis the better :ehm:
