    If people would stop deleting nations after re-rolling simply because they got "stuck" with Aluminum and Pigs, I think you'd get a better read of how many nations are created by new players but don't catch on with the game (the number I think you want). As is, I tend to watch the nation count and if there is a net gain of nations, then I see it as a positive sign.

    As someone who does a lot of recruiting these days, I can confirm that indeed you have a nice influx of people from both somethingawful.com and facepunch.com. I'm beginning to wonder when more people from fark.com are going to show up.

    Seriously? Aluminum and pigs are probably the best combo I've ever gotten LOL

    No one in this game has the right to force itself upon another...Moral Standards never have and will never be justifiable standards because everyone has their own set standard.

    In order to have a negative or positive position, you have to accept a moral position, and thus a Moral standard. This is precisely what you've done and that is why your argument is fundamentally flawed. If you cared about someones ability to develop and mantain their "own set standard" you would not be critiquing Polaris for enforcing their own moral code. That's the beauty and the very essense of the moral freedom which you pretend to espouse, but are realistically diametrically opposed to.

    Granted, I don't pretend to be in favor for said freedom either, but I'm also not the one hiding behind a false shroud of pseudo moral freedom.

    The crying reference was not directed solely at you, maybe not even predominantly at you. I do understand your ego requires you to champion a cause and be seen as a pillar of the community that exceeds standards. I get it, I really do. Alas, this is about TOP and friends, not about you. The funny thing is, you call our responses crying. My side is winning this war. I really have little to cry about. What this is about, to me, is the game. See, Ejay, the social definition of this game, does not rest with you. It rests with the community at large. Neither of us are in a position to speak for this games social direction. I do find it curious though, this new love of white peace from TOP. They had what amounted to zero interest in white peace pre-Karma. Then, lo and behold, just about all of their friends were on the losing side in Karma. So they exerted some political pressure to get them more favorable terms. Funny how watching your friends stare down monster reps will change your outlook.

    The horror of TOP not being a politcal player for 3 or 4 months... TRAGIC I say! TOP-IRON-DAWN-TORN-TSO... roughly 730 nations. Yeah, thats roughly 3% of the world. Sorry, I dont think even for one moment that will effect, or stagnate the game. I just dont. NPO is still under terms. And the last 10 months can hardly be described as "uneventfu." Your "these reps will stagnate the game" argument fails, and it fails miserably. It will stagnate TOP and friends, and you know what? I dont care. Sorry, I just dont(apologies to a few very close friends in TOP, I hope you can forgive me).

    IC has nothing to do with reps? Who made that rule? You? If reps had nothing to do with IC...they would not be permissable for discussion in IC forums. Reps epitomize what a leader of a nation(TOTALLY IC), might want to do to recoup some of his citizens losses. As for why I am so serious... ask around...Im one of the least serious people on here. In fact, the mere fact that you felt such outrage that you had to run right out and write a blog to bring to light the heinous antics of CnG and allies, might indicate, that it is you who are too serious. Yes yes, I know thats a great big NO U, but I am so not serious, that I find great humor in playing the NO U game.

    This game has been stagnating for quite a while...I remember when admin had to cap off people coming into the game, when it was around 40,000, because the servers simply couldn't handle anymore people. And the reason isn't because of overly harsh terms or anything of the sort. It's the extremely competitive, arrogant, unfriendly responses that seem to characterize many of the games most active users in combination with the fact that the game itself is poorly designed and overall quite mediocre.
