Anyone still remembering why Taijitu was created?

Apparently it's not oppression when it's our overlords


I MEAN OUR VERY GOOD FRIENDS

oppressing

I MEAN TREATING US VERY, VERY WELL.

No need to remember. Let all forget, and together we can make Taijitu a more indifferent place.

As a fairly new player and just joining the army a few months ago I am up for anything.

Sorry about your application, maha. There will be another chance, promise.  ;)

Instead of going indifferent, you should start getting your act together.

This region has become numb and we have all grown huge fat arses, well, we're trying to shake it up a bit. This is nothing like the Lex, nobody has been treated badly. This government will actually try to do something. If all you are willing to do is stay around and do nothing, then yes: this will be useless. We can't even have an argument anymore.

Nath, Taijitu was created by a group of players who were not allowed to expand and play their game. In every evolution there are linear periods and explosive ones. This game needs a push, we're willing to give it. If you don't wanna play the game no more, that's too bad. Taijitu as a NationStates region will have really died at that moment. Taijitu the community of friends will go on. Now get of your asses and at least burn a store and break some windows.

I laughed so hard when I saw this!

Seriously, you criticize L&C/Westwind's regime but then you do exactly the same as he did in Equilism! It's identical, the Equilism forums are being annoying at the moment so I can't login but the topic is here. They did exactly the same thing, three of them took control of the founder, region, instituted a dictatorship.

But honestly I can't say I'm surprised, more amused that another coup has happened. I would complain, but then what would that do?

So the point is to unite everyone in hatred against this overhaul?  I'm always up for a good riot.

@ Durnia: no Matt, we are not doing the same. You will have to wait a bit though in order to see you are wrong. Is nice to see you back here though, once in a while. Who knows, maybe you could do an interview or recuse yourself from a few trials?  :P

@ Eientei: the way this is perceived and acted upon is everybody's choice. Perhaps you can try being up for anything else productive, other than a good riot.

I agree with the stated reason behind this, namely to reverse the apathy.  I don't agree with the actual actions.  For now, I'll see what develops, but I reserve the right to gripe, make smart remarks, and break windows.

Why are we just supposed to let you? I believe Taijitu was established as a polar opposite to The Lexicon, and I believe democracy is defined as:

(countable, government) A government under the direct or representative rule of the people of its jurisdiction.

If you're just here saying that you're disbanding our representation (Not to mention you'll soon go away in about...three weeks' time, all of you), how can you turn around and say democracy will come back? When I said the Senate was inefficient, I never meant for anyone to fucking get rid of it. I have trouble following a leader who goes away for weeks at a time.

So, are we a bunch of medieval peasants who just let whatever happen, or are we modern human beings? Convince me not to just refute your "new government".

You know, for all the insanity IP, Cath, and FL came up with, I'm starting to believe one thing they said was right:

This place is about people. Not numbers.

Very well, Roman, I expected no less.  ;)

Myro, you're contradicting yourself a bit. The comparisons with Lex might be funny and dramatic, but they are worthless. We will aim at convincing you through reforms. As for the idea you picked up from Kor, we will not vanish in three weeks, but exactly upon committing to not do that, have we acted.

My unhappiness goes beyond just the Senate application at this point.  Just easier to sum it all up with this -->  ):

Especially since you all don't seem to give a damn for feedback.

As much as this development is interesting, I can't help but wonder if/when some form of democratic process will be reintroduced.
