Oz, It is my conviction that you don't give a crap about politics and you just want to think about this region exclusively, whatever you defend was never put in question by me and I agree with everything you just said, except for all the parts you mention or suggest about me and my convictions, which are completely wrong. I understand that, in conclusion of my first sentence, you do not write things politically correct, and therefore this post of yours is like therapy, completely out of character (for a Delegate or Lt Delegate of Taijitu).
Traditionally, Taijitu was my safe place in nationstates where I didn't have to worry about impressing everyone with a neatly peer-reviewed law paper, or I didn't have to read the constitution (and I still haven't), or I didn't have to really do anything to just talk and hang out with people. The people here aren't overly offended by my antics, the people here know what real writing in roleplay is better than any other region I know, and this region is the only region I know of that likes to improve its map quality as a sign of pride rather than just another gimic on the forum. You all have plans for Taijitu that go against our traditions of neutrality and our off-beat humor.
Great, but you were the Delegate of Taijitu. I prefer the internal crap and RP and all that than dealing with external affairs, but you had some sort of responsibility as Delegate. If you truly defend neutralism by Taijitu, you can't go around offending "high ranks" of other regions, it's taken as Taijitu offending other regions, therefore, NOT neutral. Please understand that, I'd rather you did nothing, than talk to other regions.
At no point I wanted
your seat (it's not yours
), I even defend there to be no "seat". You think I take this crap so serious? This is a fricking game, you were Delegate you were bound to get internal political opposition. I thought you couldn't care less about politics and so it gave me a big gap to fill with "serious" opposition. Apart from that, I never tried to take you off Delegate, we'd have NO delegate because, after the crap I had to endure last time I wouldn't want to, neither I would want any of the potential candidates
, hence why I'm never eager to vacant any position including Chief Justice.
I believe these two individuals would destroy all of that. And I'm not going to be a pansy and not name these individuals. I'm going to call you both out, Chasmanthe/Lapeirousia and Delfos. I don't know if you two even like each other, but you both expect too much from an old region, take one step at a time. You both don't seem to realize there are other people on the other end of usernames. You both want to go on witch hunts for every damn decision and blame me for everything that is wrong with this region. I am one guy, with a 9-5 (sometimes 7-7) job, and working for a graduate degree in Economics. You're both all talk, no action. It's been common knowledge that the delegate doesn't really handle recruitment, that's something you ask elu about with his toaster thing. I made a minecraft server, neither of you joined or seemed too interested. This isn't an authoritarian regime people. I can't tell you two to be active or anyone else. That's up to them. Sure I could do things, and I did do things to try to bring a little chirpiness back. The minecraft server was one of those, before it was trying to revitalize RP, and now I'm casually working on a civ 5 mod of Taijitu.
Nothing I've defended so far would be against Taijitu traditions, some people you fail to mention have more intent to break traditions than me, and I'm offended you'd put me in the same bag as others since nobody has truly backed me thus far and I never backed anybody's intentions except for Eluvatar's Delecacy. I too have my life and you should take whatever people get at you as part of the game. I go as far as telling you that you should have posted this outside the "Government of Taijitu" board because for me, inside you're performing a character, outside like General Discussion, you're completely Out of Character, being yourself, which seems what you're aiming right now. I didn't adhere to minecraft because it's too expensive for how crappy the game is (imo) 20 euros for a fricking cubes game? Jesus. I rather buy an indie game off steam with that money. I did, however, buy CIV 5 because of you guys (well, you know, I wanted to see how it was like), "oh lets all play CIV 5", I bought the damn thing with all expansions, I'm still waiting for an invitation
I guess I can help with the mod in terms of graphics :S
What I really want to ask of you two is to kindly move out of the way for people who can really jumpstart this region, I'm holding onto the seat so it doesn't succumb to the likes of either of you. Want to change my opinion? Fly out to Dallas and out drink me, then I might like you better. Or maybe show a little bit of humor.
I've no idea how to take this. But you have to agree, this, and most of your post, is complete discrimination. Move out of the way? Are you fcking kidding me? Do you even lift? I don't know who Lapeirousia is nor I know what he defends completely, but the likes of me? Who are the likes of me? Communist? lol! Seriously, explain yourself. Did you not help me when I was Delegate because you did not agree with "me"? If so, that says a lot about your democratic values.
btw I'd love to fly to Dallas for a drinking contest with you, but I don't have the means. Would you rather come to SD in December so we can have that contest? I'll be there for pretty much the whole month. PM if you want details
Thank you.
I agree that I think Taijitu is special, and I think and dearly hope we can wake it up without killing that.
We're going to want writeups that really help people get into our kind of RP, perhaps with a practice RP area or something. Thoughts?
Totally agree. There's been a lot of thoughts, besides nation RP which I'd like to be involved if it's not a military fest, I suggested a region RP, like if the region was a nation and we were all living in Taijitu. I even suggested to have conflicting sides to RP, and with the recent proposals it would be Monarchy vs Council, people would RP how it was to be with this conflict, it's be 1914 Russia all over again. Conflict = competition = activity = nasty mud fights
