I'm relatively new to NS, and not really familiar with the whole hostile takeover raider-defender type gameplay. Philosophically, though, I kind of like it the way it is (or, at least the way I interpret it when I read it). That is: it should be the onus of the Delegate and VD to keep their...

Regional Update: November - December 2011 (Under Construction) Delegate: Grosseschnauzer Vice Delegate: Felasia AD Communications: Greater Peterstan AD Internal Affairs: Govindia AD External Affairs: Cakatoa Speaker of the Regional Assembly: A Mean Old Man Total RA Members: 27 Regional...

Add to the list: SECURITY - endo law clarity, security threats, what the delegate/SC can and cannot do.

No problem.

We are in total agreement, Fel. Well said. When we look at the issue in that context, Comrade Grimalkin should actually be congratulated and thanked for serving the security of his Region, sacrificing his own endos and voluntarily submitting to extra-legal limits on his nation's freedom, all...

The way you write it, I almost agree with it. Maybe more than almost. I pity the speaker of the RA, who never really volunteered for all this. I think a separate chair dedicated to this process might be a better idea. Personally, I always envisioned the CA to be a larger group than the RA...

Thanks guys! I'm going to start on the next one right away. I think shorter and more frequent may be better than waiting months in between. There seems to be lots of fun "news" happening right now, so might as well take advantage of it. Go ahead make any styling changes necessary to make it...

It's so ... beautiful <sniff>.

Don't forget, gents, that the new Regional Update is ready for sharing. Let me know if I can help in any way. It would be helpful if you could report back on the technology being used in your various embassies newsgroups - all BBCode? could you embed some HTML, or maybe attach a PDF? Just...

People have their beliefs and affiliations, and will whether or not you allow them to be officially members of a Party. I think facing elections and stating your affiliations openly is the most transparent and democratic way to do it. Again, I believe in expanding the voting base beyond the...

Agreed, except for one thing: wouldn't Pars be ineligible to be the designated successor due to the lapse in his RA membership that started this whole thing? He was ineligible to run, ineligible to vote, it is a bit of a stretch of logic to think he would be first in line to fill the vacuum...

But that would seem to me to be part of the job description of the VD, rather than a requirement of every other nation in the region to lower itself to the VD's level. The Bill of Rights clearly says that nations can endorse, or withdraw endorsement from anybody they like. It is a fundamental...

I think that is some pretty decent, detailed analysis from Grim. This post, by the way, is not a definitive legal opinion, just some observations. But I think you are on very shaky legal ground demanding that a citizen-at-large cap their endos for any reason. That is preciously close to...
