  1. This should be fairly common sense, but just to clear up any confusion, anyone aiding a nation at war with a member of The Sweet Oblivion will be dealt with swiftly and harshly.
  2. I guess I'll join up. Fish/lumber. http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...Nation_ID=16016 EDIT: Never mind, seems I was too impatient with my other trade circle
  3. Methinks a bump would be helpful at this point.
  4. Here's exactly what I was looking for. Fish/lumber http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_d...Nation_ID=16016
  5. I knew the MCXA Charter inside-out backwards and frontwards, and there was nothing banning political parties. It was simply a taboo.
  6. And he did that how many times...? None, as far as I can remember. I don't think he ever appointed a HC member to serve as Ololiqui's pick, either. My point is simply that it wasn't as simple as Fran makes it out to be.
  7. Well, seems I'm 10 pages late, but I still feel the need to clarify something: there was never a pro-democracy vs. pro-dictatorship debate in MCXA. It was a level of transparency debate. I was myself a High Council member, and I supported the release of HC topics to the public after 30 days, with the exception of topics which were still deemed sensitive. I was a supporter of fairly high levels of transparency compared to many others. Of course, everyone didn't have the same view, and some such as nc1701 wanted such extreme levels of transparency that MCXA would have been an easy target for...well, spies. No one ever advocated the elimination of the High Council or the allocation of more powers to the Co-Chancellors. In fact, the High Council was increased in size from 9 to 13 members, meaning more representation for the masses, more democracy. Your view of the topic is not only simplistic but highly skewed as well. I'd also like to take a moment to point out one inconsistency I see in your argument: you claim that you were a huge supporter of democracy, yet you felt the need to undermine the majority and spy to move MCXA in the right direction. If you were a true advocate of democracy, you would have attempted to achieve the changes you wanted via democratic process, no? And if you had been defeated in those attempts by a majority, you would have understood that part of democracy is losing some battles and winning some, no? Your argument doesn't add up. Apparently you didn't understand the ideals you claimed you stood for.
  8. Just two quick nitpicky things. One, you have some staunch NPO supporters in your current government who have sided with them as long as I've known them. Two, you didn't "eject" us; we left of our own free will. But congrats on peace nonetheless
  9. I'm here. Took a nice beatdown for NAAC in GWI...good times.
  10. Well, saying I didn't trust USN at all is not true, but perhaps you're right. I'm not claiming to be perfect. Anyways, I have real life issues to attend to. I've presented my case as best I can. It will be interesting to see how many of you continue your condemnations of TSO based on misconceptions and half-truths.
  11. How else do you plan for a new alliance? Of course you have to tell people in advance. And perhaps you're right. I'm not going to for a moment lie to myself or anyone else and say that I haven't made any mistakes. To me, heading to USN for a while seemed like the best plan. See my above response. I can't speak for arivili. I'll have to admit that I was not, no. I discussed that with sig as well, but since we had already had a leak, I didn't plan on creating another one by spilling the beans. I didn't know the USN government, so you can hardly blame me for not implicitly trusting them. I'm sure they're a great bunch of people, but I wasn't going to go around flapping my mouth and create another potential security issue.
  12. I shouldn't even respond since I said I would only answer to polite, thoughtful questions, but rushed to form TSO, thanks to a rather unfortunate leak of information. Not abandon MCXA. It may look like that from the outside looking in, but as I said, that was never my intention. If our intention was to abandon MCXA, we would have up and left the moment our plan was leaked rather than at least attempting to give forewarning and transition peacefully.
