Now now, clearly I'm not aware of what TNI's intentions are and must defer to Uni's much better knowledge about it. It seems four years of being there, serving in every position and actually being in charge of their policy isn't enough to know that... :unsure:
You're wasting your time with a trial.' And I maintain it is a rich and diverse community. We have active people from America, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Finland, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand. We have a huge range of political beliefs within the region and while most people are raiders within it (which I think is hardly unsurprising) we have a fair few who have never taken part in gameplay in any way and a few defenders who have access to the majority of the forum such as DYP and NC.
I think Europeia is hardly a typical case Uni. They are TNI's closest allies and our greatest friends and the two regions have a massive shared membership. We try to concert our policy with them whenever we can. Pointing out to them that a treaty with TRR could lead to Europeia being treaty bound to fight TNI's troops when she was already pledged not to do by the older TNI-Europeia Treaty is hardly the malevolent actions you would make it out to be. We even stressed that we were more than happy for Europeia to have cultural relations and ties with TRR. The fact is that Europeia withdrew the treaty because they value our friendship as much as we value theirs. It wasn't some power play by TNI in the slightest. Now, I only know this from the perspective of someone in TNI's Cabinet at the time (not as a minister but as an admin, an advisor and someone who drafted one of the messages to the President) so I suppose I should probably defer to Uni's superior knowledge of TNI's intentions.
Something is worth pointing out though. The TNI-Europeia Treaty is a detailed treaty as are most of TNI's treaties. The proposed treaty before us isn't like that. It isn't a treaty of alliance like Europeia's one with TNI, this is a 'Non-Agression and Cultural Treaty' as it says on the tin. There are no provisions for TSP having to provide diplomatic support, there isn't even a provision saying that TSP is bound not fight us. As with the identical treaty with Lazarus this is because TNI is more than aware of the unique nature of the GCRs. This treaty isn't an attempt to draw TSP into UCR politics or even draw TSP more actively into gameplay. As I said in my previous post this treaty is an attempt to lay the foundations for a positive relationship between both regions in spheres such as culture as well as providing in a very material way for TSP's security.
Quote:Rich and diverse, you banned someone from your region because they tried to defend their own region. How'll about "maniacally imposing its psychotic beliefs on people without limitation or tolerance for difference"? Rich and diverse, what a farce.That is blowing that a bit out proportion when Earth's own reaction was '... I'm not sure why I have citizenship in the first place... just seems a bit silly. Anyways, just ban me.
