In the midst of a citizenship and activity discussion, another TSPer has tendered a resignation of citizenship. Such resignations have been a common occurrence this year, whether by means of voluntary resignation or having citizenship removed due to a nation having ceased to exist.
Â
At the time of writing, there are 115 players that are citizens, 6 who are Cabinet members and 5 that are Global Moderators and Administrators. In comparison, there are 2000 members on the forums, and at the time of writing, 4099 nations in-game. That is only a representation of 5.75% of members forum-wide and 2.81% of players game-wide taking up citizenship, not mentioning those of which who are one-time posters
Â
This is indeed a dismal number for now, but only time will be able to tell if the community on the forums will make the connection with the in-game community. Several minds are yearning for that to occur, as seen by their remarks in-game, on the forums and on Twitter, but it will take some time to rub off on others.

Admittedly, when I first came to the South Pacific, I enjoyed the form of regional governance and activity that existed here, never mind that it was spearheaded by a group of old boys (of which some have left). Let us work together, both on forum and in-game to bring that back, shall we?
Â
Ostensibly, it cannot be done with the efforts of one man, or even several men, but only we together, as bridges between the forum and in-game community, crossing over and spreading the interest of participation, both on the RMB and in the forums.
