Title: 10KI Embassy Request
Post by: Dyr Nasad on November 02, 2015, 07:42:38 AM
Region: 10000 Islands
Regional Forum: http://10000islands.proboards.com
Regional Population: 1,766
About: The 10000 Islands, NS' largest UCR, is a region dedicated to defending others and having fun. As our WFE says, the 10000 Islands are a picturesque archipelago of islands renowned for our white-sand beaches and blue-green waves. This region is not only a prosperous center of culture & trade, but also a well-armed defense territory. We are home to TITO, the Ten thousand Islands Treaty Organization and have over 2300 successful missions to date.

Discuss, etc.

Despite my dislike of Grub and his policies regarding the citizens, the community is full of good people. I support the embassy request and believe it should be accepted.

This is a joke right?

These jokers are perhaps the laziest, fickle assholes to work with.

Hell fucking no. Didn't they refuse to help us liberate Lazarus despite being 'supportive'. Then like one volunteer showed up once. I'm not voting for their flakey bullshit.

They might as well be neutral even though they fly their banner of Fenderness because they're so fucking passive.

Fuck them.

I will do you the favor of attributing this post to your drunkenness instead of your idiocy >_>

10KI were, far and away, the largest provider of troops to the liberation of Lazarus. Grub repeatedly cleared his RMB and asked all active WA regional members to move to Lazarus (in addition to the normal TITO deployment)

-edit- "around a hundred [troops]" is what the semi-official record states, without tracking specific numbers

Your presence notwithstanding, you know very little. While in a region where we share the title of citizen with the likes of Funk and Elu, I cannot say that I did "a lot" in this particular Lazarene mission, but I was certainly more involved than you were (and aside from my actions, I am certainly knowledgeable about it)

I'm against it.
Why? :P

I can't be the only one amused that we apparently meet 10KI's purity standards now... but they don't meet ours?

Is that few interactions overall, or a presence of negative interactions?

If the former - they have been friendly, but without much communication (no embassy) overall we are going to have few interactions

If the latter - when? :P 10KI has changed over the years (as we have)

I recall several interactions that were not very good, a long time ago yes, but still.

I see no reason not to approve an embassy with 10000 Islands other than the typical Taijituan anti-NSer nonsense that is clearly serving our region so well.

I'm not privy to the military operations of TITO or XKI itself, but Dyr of all people would know, since he's involved in every big defender op (including the liberation of Lazarus) I would take his word for it. I see no reason either as to why we should deny their embassy request.

Post by: St Oz on November 08, 2015, 06:38:04 PM
As OT said, I've never had a good interaction with anyone in TITO, every op I've been on with them they flake, so based on those interactions, they can go be fat and pompous elsewhere.

The last time you updated was nearly a decade ago with DEN.

Can you even name any of the TITO TO's, or even explain what a TO is?

I'm fine with approving an embassy with TITO. They can be a bit aloof, but they're a large, well known region which we ought to have some manner of relations with.

That's categorically wrong. At Lazarus' count over 110 TITO nations were endorsing Kazmr, and over 50 were endorsing me before they were ordered to pull out.

I don't know where you were at the time, but it certainly wasn't Lazarus.

Quote from: wiki
The name "Tito" does not only symbolise the liberation of the territory of present-day Slovenia from fascist occupation in World War II, as claimed by the other party in the case, but also grave violations of human rights and basic freedoms, especially in the decade following World War II.

This looks very ugly, and if I'd know it was Tito who was there I'd be less in favor. I'll think about this when the vote comes.

The vote has already begun. I have left this thread open because the discussion is still active and I don't want to split it.

TITO was definitely involved in the liberation of Lazarus. 10000 Islands deployed over a hundred nations in the final phase to secure the region, but they also had their more active members participating in the coalition effort to apply pressure which gave us the opening for Kazmr to free it.

We certainly compete with 10000 Islands for nations, but the same is also certainly true of Equilism, Equinox, International Northwestern Union, Renegade Islands Alliance, Spiritus, and Wintreath (and perhaps also Australia, Canada, or even Jethnea).

10000 Islands is certainly less democratic than we are, but the same is also true to some extent of very nearly every diplomatic partner we have.

If 10000 Islands is interested in relations with us, I would embrace relations with them. If they're jerks about it, we can tell them to take a hike. If they're cool, we gain friends.
