The irony... you talk about bringing democracy to The Rejected Realms when the decision to invade the region is autocratic by nature, together with the abuse of power in which a large number of democratic states were kicked out of Taijitu costing them all their endorsements (given or received).

I ask all of those who are concerned about what happened to see the Senate and the motion to impeach PoD from his office.

And being ejected from the region to participate in this war before being consented about it is democratic how...?

Ok, now that I have more time on my hands I can explain why I'm pretty ticked off by this.

Mainly my concern is for others in the region: Those with a large number of endorsements that lost them due to being ejected and those that weren't in the army (like me). The fact that we were lied to when it was said that it was for "spreading democracy," and to me seems like a lie and nothing more than an ego trip, and even if it was for "spreading democracy," it was the complete wrong way to go about it. Forcing a region into a certain government is hardly democratic. Lastly there's this little, totally unimportant document called "the constitution" that was violated in the process, which Taco pointed out.

I'm all for raiding, even for a self-centered ego trip, but I don't appreciate being lied too and I don't appreciate that those who didn't want to do it were forced too.


I've moved back to Taijitu, I'll be damned if Dixie or Gunner get my endorsements, and I'm all for his impeachment.

I would ask that you endorse not to show support but to protect our now weakened position. The current delegate in Taijitu has a scant 73 endorsements right now which could easily be taken in a counter strike against us. I like yesterday better when I didn't have to worry about retaliation or keeping the region in the hands of the legally elected delegate.

We are a founder region, Taco. We stand no real threat of being invaded.

ughhhh i think this was just plain stupid. not the act itself but the lack of checking if it was what the community wanted. my confidence in your decision making has definately taken a blow.

I am and have always been strictly anti-raiding, though I respect the desires of others to engage in such actions as they please.  Logging in after a weekend away to find that my nation has been forced into a military pursuit upsets me, quite frankly.  If someone asks me if I have ever participated in a raid I must now answer 'yes' to be truthful, though I would not have chosen it.

Also, this affects Ambassadors rather severely.  We represent Taijitu to other regions and they will naturally associate us personally with this action whether we supported, or were even around for it, or not.  I just became our Ambassador to Equilism (an officially anti-raider region) on Friday and they want action against our leadership at this point.

Anyhow, I have re-entered Taijitu and am endorsing those who need it to ensure the safety of our elected leaders' positions.  I hope that we learn from this and that our community may recover quickly.
