When Taijitu had 70 nations in it for two years TNP was the only one of our allies that didn't cut relations with us for having died. When we voted earlier this year on renewing our long alliance with TNP, TNPers approved their end of it nearly unanimously. The discussion was mostly limited to "Taijitu is great". For the most part, they find us to be long-term, valuable allies with an exciting form of government and a fun theme that doesn't take itself too seriously.
After having been in TNP a year, I climbed up from Deputy Minister to Vice Delegate. People were nothing if not open and accepting of newcomers like myself, something Taijitu could honestly learn a lot about. Their debates on changes are robust, collaborative, and accepting of new ideas. If anything I have been more impressed with TNP recently than with the cynical, hateful, bitter rhetoric I see spit here on a regular basis. I will go on their forum and see people collaborating on ideas and legislation. I see RPers genuinely interested in improving themselves and their writing, and I see a social section that is filled with debate and good humor.
I come to this forum and see people bitterly criticizing each other and their ideas, cursing everyone who doesn't have the same interests in this game as they do, and motioning to cut relations with regions for no reason other than that they're different from ourselves.
I will vote against any motion to unilaterally cut ties with TNP. I can guarantee that when we are in need of it, TNP will be there as it has been for the past seven years of our existence. Would we do the same for our allies?
