All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain

The Madness Accord *throws cheese everywhere* The East Pacific, a place where in theory Ive been most of my NS career. I honestly dont know what feeder I came from, but I have always said the East Pacific. I had a knack for wandering off into other regions though, and I experienced many different sides to opinions on the overall game. The most interesting experience by far though, is the ideals of raiders and my little journey with a region called Nazi Europe. I joined the region a while back, looking at their debates mostly at first. The fact they were condemned caught my eye most of all. It seemed they were condemned on their ideology, and for me that was silly. I have always disliked other countries or regions getting branded for something they may or may not believe in. In this case, it was apparent why Nazi Europe was condemned, because no one likes Nazis and what they stand for. That is of course understandable. However, the accusations leaned more towards the fact that they were spouting their beliefs off to others, and causing commotions. Upon researching this, I found that it wasnt true. They were in fact branded simply for what they stood for. But here is the real thing that bugged me. I joined them, became a part of their military(raider style), and I learned very well that none of them really believed in the ideals of Nazism that existed during WWII, the ideals they were branded for. The leader himself could care less, when I spoke with him. They were merely facist/socialists, who liked to raid. And I enjoyed raiding so I saw no issue with this at all. Its very curious how they wore a mask, stuck in the land of "RP Mode". They are condemned sure, but its more like a badge. You see, the problem I have with this condemning nonsense, is that it seems to always borderline personal opinion about others. It seems someone gets upset about another region or nation, and want them to get condemned just because they dont like what they think. I find it far worse to operate in such a manner, rather than the personal manners of the accused. Nazi Europe wasn't at all a bad region, they were just simple raiders. Because of the political battles I had with so many at that time, I become a hater of the somewhat new Security council. And it was only because people spouted off opinion and political bias more than anything else. Ill never forget the liberation attempt, by someone who was a raider themselves, because they simply couldn't stand by when their enemies took a region. So they cry and go boo hoo to the council and create a huge issue and liberate the region. And you know what? The region is dead again just like it was before the raiders, and liberation. After seeing this, I came to the conclusion that the security council was essentially pointless, and it choked the game play of raiders. NS isnt alive as much as it seems, and raiders play a role in the game to keep it alive, and it creates things for regions and nations to do in a sometimes boring environment. Sure, the ideals of raiding isnt a popular one, but it also keeps the game alive. So why choke it, and make so many huge political deals about it in the council? Regarding that I am at a loss. I dont mind that it certainly does create alot fuss, because that does lead to more activity, but at the same time it hurts those who play a different game within NS as well. But then one asks or comments, that raiders are bad and shouldn't do this or that, blah blah. Yes, Ive heard that, but what strikes me is that most, not if all regions raided nowadays are DEAD regions. Why liberate? Why complain? You are just making it dead again through political fuss, only to recreate a cycle of inactivity and boredom. Congratulations. I learned this all from simply dealing with alot while in Nazi Europe. I eventually left though, because of things going on in my life of course, but my real place has always been in TEP. I am glad though that I can say I was once a raider and I still support the idea of raiding. Its an unliked activity, but it sure beats sitting around like old men in a region doing nothing but passing pointless resolutions to already fine governments. And don't even get me started on that, I had enough fun dealing with bureaucracy and utter boredom as a Senator long long ago in TWP. That was truly a moment in NS where I wanted to punch the region with my fist, because no one wanted to do practically anything but sit around to simply explain it. However that was long ago and maybe its different today. Concerning other things though, we need a cheese and tea party around in TEP. I am very much yearning for one. ~The Angel of Death |

It was lovely having you with us, Yugoslavikia. I've resigned as NE delegate now, and am trying to get a raider region together. I'm almost ready to start recruiting, and if you wanted to raid with us, then that would be dandy. I agree with you that raiding is necessary to maintain activity, and that the Security Council has at times been unfairly prejudiced, but I would pin most of the blame on the unnecessary and unhelpful changes that have been made to the game to "protect" natives from raiding. These changes have taken a number of different forms, but the institution of founders and regional influence were the main ones. The institution of founders allowed griefers to take things to a new level, but at the same time the battlefield has dramatically shrunk, inter-regional dependency has been discouraged and military gameplay has been slowed right down. |
