The New Republic

I'm back...after being long gone. I figured that the NR is getting boring for me so I will look for things to do. Anyone have any jobs they need done? Or things they need to do? I need something to do.

Im going to be the better man and ask that this be taken to a PM.

I would just like to say lets end the flaming and all go to the Stoneguard and buy a house!

Please show me my "non-existent" quote about me taking down houses. I have never taken down a structure because it was against the rules. I have never taken down a house that was not mine without permission. Surely, you can warn me all you want, but the rule about "dirt houses" wasnt in effect until after the house was built. Also, tell me why brickstrike, one of the government leaders of oakville, told me it was ok to build a dirt house. If you are going to warn me about the rules of oakville, you might want to refresh yourself on the rules of oakville first and make sure that your "government leaders" have the rules straight too.

Its fairly simple, tear down my house, and get banned for griefing. We have moderators involved here now and Dwight says that the house is good. You really want to challange that?

*round of applause to you good sir*

I won't challange it, but I will challenge it.

The rule of no dirt houses was in effect well before your house was up. It was mentioned when you said "Oakville will fail" You remember that, don't you? Face it, your house is a eyesore, man up and either replace the dirt blocks with something else, or move. Its honestly, not that hard.

Take deep breaths brick deep long big breaths...

Sigh I want to stay away but I cant someone help me!

I do not, nor did i ever have jurisdiction to make rules for city building restrictions. We have already been over that in a previous post. Only Mayors have the ability to impose building restrictions in their respective cities.

"Your house is an eyesore" is simply expressing your opinion and i respectfully disagree with this statement.

"Man up" Thats just plain rude. This forum is not the place for comments like that.

"Replace the dirt blocks" I do not wish to alter my house at this time. There were no rules about this at the time of building my house, therefore my house will not be torn down.

"Its honestly, not that hard" I know. Its just a dirt house, theres no reason to be angry about it.

Good job. To everyone. Even after a stern warning and those in your own group trying to persuade the right thing, you have accomplished something. This thread will be closed. As the majority of you are veteran players this is highly insulting that this behavior has continued so long . As a highly active thread, you are in direct view of the highly impressionable. You are all exhibiting horrible behavior that has ultimately led to the removal of a resource for you. So before a new thread is even thought about being created, maybe you all should sit around, and think about how to handle the group as a whole in public. This is shameful that such behavior, even after getting along, so quickly returns, and repeats.

I just wanted to say one more thing, before any of you think this has anything to do with pazzo, or what anyone may believe I feel about the NR.

I thought this was a cool idea. As a guy that is creatively driven, New ideas are always awesome to see. I have been following this project for awhile and thought the overall idea would yield good results.

But do any of you not feel ashamed of your behavior in this thread? There are players here that will always be looked at differently because of their actions and attitudes here. It's not just one person, it's not even a specific group. It's everyone involved. All of you have had the power to try and mediate. Yet so many of you continued to bring your confrontations to the for front like this, when you all should be proud that you have the opportunity to be apart of something that had full potential to be great. Just think about it, look at your posts. Everyone that has posted here could probably find at least one post that did not belong in the public. One argument that could have gone to pm, or even in game.

Just take a step back before anyone starts the blame game. Because everyone here was wrong.

After some discussion with 72volt and other members, this thread will be reopened. For the history of the New Republic, the posts that remain will stay for record keeping purposes.

72volt will be posting a new set of rules that must be followed in the thread for its continuation.

I will say that this will only happen once. If the thread reaches a point it needs to closed again, it will be sealed forever in the dusty vaults of EMC's forgotten realm.

Thank you, i owe you big time.

Message to all others, DO Not let this happen again!!!

Woah, and I was looking at this thread earlier.
Coincidence? Of course it is

lol

I would like to apologize to the NR for being too thick and selfish and apart of the reason the thread got closed in the first place. I hope to be better about it in the future.

Thank you so much mr. sassy smooch!

OH MY GOD SMOOCH THANK YOU




But anyway, while this is a time of jubilation, what with the accession of Croatia to the European Union occuring as I post this thread, and of course the reopening of the thread, many matters must be attended to.

Firstly, all previous measures set out (the Arbitration Committee, the rule in the OP's spoiler) will remain in place, with a modification to the spoiler rules, which is community service will be handed out to those who ignite or maintain a flamewar, meaning they will be sent to an ally or friend of the New Republic to do work until our ally believes the offender has done sufficient work.
The sentencing of the offenders who got the thread closed will involve a punishment of community service, currently being finalised.

Secondly, the following things were agreed on at the Conference on the New Republic's Communication Conduct.

These will be implemented as soon as possible, as agreed.
On another note, we have recently held our elections, and core members have agreed that there will be a refined electoral/political system. Dean_Catterson will brief us on that.
We also have some constitutional issues to sort out, Rock should post them up here. They will be sorted out no later than the next election.
Finally, as I am uncertain as to whether I shall remain the First Minister of the New Republic following election proceedings, I would like to give a final wish to all citizens and friends of the New Republic to have a great summer and be generally excellent.

Guess who's FM? The news was just released and it's Napoleon! Congrats!

Congratulations, Napoleon! Please be aware I am going to backseat drive the crap out of you
