I don't believe in duality (as in Nation A has completely different ambitions as Nation B). I know some people do, and that's fine. It is my opinion that it's something that has been exploited.
The bottom line here is that many people from this region have interests in other regions. Some claim duality, some don't, but just have different opinions based on their own personal experience. Had this thread never been posted and we were engaging in a philisophical discussion of who would post what in "support" of whom, it would have turned out just as it has. It's not reasonable to pretend that there aren't clear lines drawn in this diverse region just as in any other. That doesn't mean that most if not everyone here doesn't sincerely care about TNP. I'm sure we all do.
I'm the only one refusing to give certain parties any answers. I'm frankly sick of their obsessive watch over my every move, just waiting for me to make some kind of a mistake so they can rake me over the coals. Asta has been up front about her involvement in the "incident" (by the way, it's
really not hard to create one mask for residents only in order to prevent mistakes like that from happening). We've been clear that Nasicournia was not involved in some conspiracy to rig a vote. It's obvious the vote was going to pass anyway, but some people would like to continue pushing their political agenda one way or another and will come up with any reason to poo-poo on their opposition. I didn't even persue my desire to become involved in TNP for a very long time because of this very phenomenon. I knew full well who had "dual residency" here at the time, and how they feel about me. I haven't been accorded the same amount of respect and "benefit of the doubt" that those certain people demand so indignantly of me, but I'm still here because I care about the region. I've been discriminated against and stopped from getting more involved in the region because of my one dual involvement with Nasicournia, while others from equally controversial regions (yes, plural in some cases) are allowed to persue their interests. I'm not complaining, I'm stating a fact. I've replied that I understand the concern, though I wish the double standard did not apply.
This tabloid took little bits and pieces of factual information and skewed it into a regional conspiracy with two devils at the head in Hyrule stuffing ballots. No one should have to answer to such an obviously biased and admittedly tabloid accusation, especially in an environment steeped in the company of past (?) politicial opposition whom continue to persecute even though they claim duality from their other characters. I know I'll get tsked tsked down by the usual parties for stating this, but those are the odds that I'm facing in this thread. No amount of trying to paint me as a horrible cheating ADN ninja is going to change my mind. My regionmates in Nasicournia, who were directly implicated in the situation, know exactly what did or did not happen, and that is enough for me.
Go back and read through the thread, and see what I actually said. I was told some time ago (apparently incorrectly) that Polts was involved previously in the PRP through a different persona. I was honestly stating that I didn't know he had left that involvement. He refuted he was ever involved, fine, I believe him. I wasn't stating it maliciously. I respect Polts as PM but I have just as much (if not more in some cases, because I know them and their principles better) respect for any other resident of TNP. I certainly never stated that he's "primarily an agent of the PRP." That spin is not unexpected, though.
GVA, I don't recall saying that about the PRP (in this thread :p), and am too tired to go back and read through every page, but to insinuate that it would be why I'm here and posting in this thread (especially when this thread is accusatory against my person) is unfair. I do believe there are underlying political reasons that explain the way some people address me in this region. I have no problem stating as much. Have you seen me treating them the same way in any other situation unless it's one in which they approach me first? I'd like to be able to express opinions out of care for TNP but realize that some people let others with additional regional involvements do so in ways in which I would never be allowed. I have accepted that as a condition of citizenship here, unwritten but present nonetheless. I've not complained until now when I'm being accused of doing what I keep my mouth shut for so I don't get accused of doing...
Anyway, anyone from TNP (who hasn't tried to sue me in the past) is welcome to PM me for answers to be held in confidence if it really is an issue to you. I've had no problem sharing the truth with those who have so far, and my entire region has been fully filled in from the first minute the tabloid was published. I refuse to allow myself to be tied to a stake with fire under me in order for the region that is waging proverbial war against my region to "get one on us." No matter what I could have said differently in this thread it would have been spun and misinterpreted and used as propoganda no matter what. I really don't care anymore what they say about me, but they're not going to mess with the rest of Nasicournia through me. Anyone who wants to find out the truth about Nasicournia is welcome to register on that forum and experience the community for themselves. It's a lot more accurate than perception garnered from an obviously biased tabloid.
To Mammo: If a nation belonging to a region purposefully causes an international incident with a neutral or friendly region, I expect the region to hold them accountable. Nasicournia has done this on numerous occasions, including a few recently that even resulted in a resignation. If it is an accidental occurance, I feel they should be given full opportunity to right the wrong, and the region should keep open communication with the other region in question. Nasicournia has also done this recently. If a nation is caught spying on an allied region, or participating in an invasion of an allied region, they should be held accountable to the highest ability of the law. I do not believe the actions of one person should be held against an entire region, unless that person is directly speaking for the entire region and with their permission. I believe that anything that reflects poorly on a region or organization claiming responsibility lies with only a few members should be investigated fully before one passes judgement. If there is clear evidence that the region or organization supported the action then that region or organization should be held fully accountable. I do not like the persecution of groups of people that occur because one, two, a few people hold one belief or take one action through their involvement in another region or organization. You shouldn't have duality hold for one group of people and not for another, but unfotunately this happens to the detriment of one "side" of the larger conflict we're all speaking of or the other "side" depending on where the people are at the moment.
That said, I will probably not be re-visiting this thread. I've said all I have to say and the invitation will stand open for anyone who wants to PM me. Larger issues have been touched on here and I'm open to continuing those discussions in more appropriate threads in the future. There's nothing more I can say here. Those who have opinions made up their minds before the thread was even posted, that's evident from both "sides," and that's also not going to change in this thread. It will take much larger changes in the future to accomplish; changes none of us probably think of as possible at this point in time.
(Just a little friendly jab) I think it is time to give it a rest, it is an issue that has been beaten to death at this point. Is there anything new to say?
Little bit creepy there, Fedele.
