I miss the RMB being busy.

Everyone in the region grew up, we stopped having crises every two or three weeks, we got a Discord (didn't we?), and all the people who used to make it super active got deleted a long time ago for being assholes.

Hell, you fackers haven't even had Tea Time for months.

How are you doing old friend? :)

Hello Lavan! Good to see you again.

I can do another Tea Time at some point, but I'm not sure if the RMB is active enough for it. Unless anyone wants Tea Time moved to the Discord?

I'll shoot anybody who moves anything else to Discord

Also I just got back from getting my first tattoo. It's pretty sick if I do say so myself

Ye gods, we had so many fcking crises in this region from like 2014-2016, every week there was a new issue. That was fun.

It was...something. I for one actually somewhat enjoy the hush the Region has, though the many crises we had are painted prettily in my memory considering how much cooperation it all required. That and because making things for the RP was fun owo. Even when my bullets were called WMDs and I felt a little like a more sympathetic Iraq.

ATTENTION!

To all travelers both foreign and domestic, the nation will be under heavy lockdown as we hold ceremonies to honor those who have fallen on the opening drive of Operation Barbarossa in 1941. The country will reopen the 23rd.

Thank you for your understanding.

Thanks Pengers.

These whippersnappers have no clue what we endured lol.

Hell, my first couple months in the region saw us kick out one of the co-founders.

My first few were pretty normal aside from Connor turning out to be fake. Then Silver acted up and the NGA turned to poo-poo under two certain people and Ruclax managed to continue his pattern of being actual poo and became a figure-head king until he kicked Merc and went full "Reeee"

As crazy as it was, the Novatia Notes was probably the most fun thing. Quite pleasing to see Lat and PLR get called out for turning the RP into actual politics.

Oh my gods I was devastated by Connor--he was the one who pretended to die of cancer, right?

Why the hell did we trust Ruclax? He had very well documented authoritarian tendencies

For the first, absolutely. Supposedly his "brother" had stuck around to inform people but he was the very same man in fact. He was latter revealed to be among a possible number of other trolls including Uncle Fawkes.

For the second. You must consider the times. As one of the people involved long ago, Ruclax had come back at the very end and began to be insulted by Valt. Since a large number of people had been specifically targeted by Valt, this meant that Ruclax had easy sympathy from a lot of people who returned. Ruclax was always seemingly peaceful (if a little spacey at times) whereas Valt would promise you that he'd be peaceful and then attack the other guy two minutes later...or lie about it first >.>
I forgive him now, but it happened to me too so...

Anyhow, we all felt pretty darn tired. Discord is generally bad for conflict, and at that point the NGA Discord was pretty bad because Valt had become the Sub-Admin. I may be biased since he replaced me, but he promptly kicked Vis for a joke and pressured Oel to say he'd been offended. This might seem unrelated, but when you're tired you'll find that someone new and bright, with a somewhat reputable history barring a bad event, can seem very pleasant. Besides, he was supposed to make The Founder be a puppet so he could give it up if he got weird. Once it was all prepared, it felt like it would disrupt the movement if we pressed the puppet issue. I felt a little emotional myself, so I was pretty uninterested in how the Government was functioning besides if Ru kept out of power (The King couldn't actually *do* anything and he'd fūcked himself by taking it) besides the title. I was more focused on defending our little area from people trying to hop into the last space on the bandwagon.

It hurt especially because I'd felt like he and I were actually friends and cared about one another.

Gah, I may be biased. I did like Valt, although he did get annoying at times. Regardless of that, though, I always managed to sleep or be offline during the early states of any crisis that I didn't cause (the Commonwealth Intelligence Services, that time I sued someone, when Unf and I got deleted), so I was playing catch-up during the NGA, Montaris, and this region.

Also, this is further proof of my hypothesis that getting a regional Discord was a Bad Idea.
