The New Republic

This is a good idea. I'd be a supporter of putting the NR on it's own server. No one can close it's thread or anything. There just have to be one or two people who manage the server, develop plugins and things.

No problem, bro.

i like taking pics of myself k

Nope, but as of this week, they now have the same leader.

Also, as for the expansion plans, allow me to suggest a little shopping list.

• Fix the Constitution with Charter of Conduct, rule of law changes suggested by Rock, and measures to ensure a more United States-ish system of government with distinct executive, judicial and legislative branches, and insert measures officiating the Neorepublican Federation.
• Create a fully functioning government, with the tax system, army, postal service, and any other miscellaneous stuff all set up. By the way, Napoleon, I saw no mention of foreign relations in the Official Agenda, I could take care of that, I've coerced Creeper Bay on SMP6 to join us, which will boost the NR by 12 members if their entire leadership agrees.
• Set up the website, get it functioning to a basic standard.
• At that point, once we have the previous 3 objectives done, we will begin the official expansion mission, the Empire Minecraft Expansion Campaign. The objectives of the mission will state that a city must be set up in the Wild of each SMP server and Utopia, a NR Town District must be present on all servers, and the NR Army must have Nether bases on all servers.
• At that point, the Minecraft Expansion Campaign will be begun, with an objective of colonising the 10 most popular vanilla SMP servers (including hardcore PvP servers) and sending NR Army missions to the 10 most popular alternative servers (like Hunger Games, Survival Games, Mine-Z etc.) and having notable success. Around this time, we will relaunch the Neore currency. We will base the central bank on a secure server with low rates of stealing, and use fractional reserve banking to spread the currency. We will use Neore as a universal currency, so if you're good at one Minecraft server experience, you can earn a few thousand Neore and buy stuff to help you out on a completely different server, so you can dominate that one too.
• After that, we will begin the Multiplayer Game Expansion Campaign, involving expansion to the 10 most well known MMOs and the 10 most popular non-MMO multiplayer games, like Call of Duty and Halo. We may also launch NR Army missions to beat records on singleplayer games, through TwinGalaxies.
• Once the New Republic has conquered the videogame world, we will expand ourselves into the real world. We will use our funds to buy a private island (or an inland plot) and we will build a city on it. Once it is big enough, we will have the city become an autonomous area of its parent country. But that's a crazy idea, right?

That's the career I intend to follow, and if I do it successfully, a world federation shall be established in my lifetime

Good luck with that

Though, me being an entrepreneur and all, might save some costs

No one is going to say that you can not have a server, but please keep talks of starting new servers in a separate medium.

I will give you a tale of a group not much different than this one a year or so ago following an exact same path as the one you are proposing, and in the end, it ended with 1 player getting banned and many getting very upset. However, there was a particular course of events that led to that, but all of this is eerily similar and I feel it needs to be brought up at this point.

Having your own servers are fine, but please remember that you are using a forum for EMC, not NR, so until you are at that point, you should use a different form of communications for talk about server rearing.

Just a heads up that comments like this will probably get ya watched by most of the moderators.

Oh dear, when I saw ICC posted on the thread I thought a flamewar broke out and it got locked, I'm always so quick to assume the worst

I will state that the Neorepublican Executive has no plans to create a dedicated Minecraft server for the New Republic.

Will there be a chief of the Army and will it have a ceremonial section? I'd be happy to assist in setting up the army, it's organisation plus ceremonial stuff.

Mba, I thank you for volunteering that position, but think the head of the military should be from the Militia. Mainly because of the experience that we have with most if not all duties listed by Eskimo. I would like for you to be in the military, but for right now, not be in charge. This is just my opinion and nothing personal at all.

Eskimo, that is some great work and thank you for taking the time to putting all this down.
I agree to most if not all you have put down.
The only concern I see and think we should do is elect all the necessary positions too all form of the New Republic Government, before expanding.
It would be wise to have people in spots and laws on the books, before moving onward to another server.
Thank you again Eskimo.

I suppose an Army "Commander General" would be helpful to keep things organized, but that can wait until after we expand from smp9. We need as few officers as possible for now.
As for ceremonies... to be honest, there's only so much a few dozen guys can do in-game in Minecraft, and it's not gonna' be too impressive. It would probably be a case-to-case kind of thing, not an entire section.
If you're interested in being smp9's general, send me a PM explaining why you think you'd be a good match - that applies to everyone who isn't already a minister and isn't part of the EMC Militia.

Did you not read a thing super said? The NR Army will be completely separate from the Milita. So being part of the Milita or not can get you in the top Military position.

Also, for your own sake, you should stop including the militia in everything, the militia has obviously caused some very big problems in the NR. And I can see a flame war over the militia and a second thread lock coming into view. It can still be avoided, but the militia needs to keep a lower profile.

I appreciate both of your support, but let's try to keep this non-personal, and only use what authority we have.
I truly appreciate everything the Militia has done for the NR, and a Militia member would doubtless be a good general.
However, I would like for the NR Army to be separate from the Militia, for the sake of having something of our own. I am certain we will continue to work together, but I feel that the NR is beginning to rely on the Militia, which could become a problem for expansion.
Take the bridge to Stoneguard, for example. It's a beautiful bridge, it has certainly helped with transportation, and the contract is both reasonable and free. But despite that, it's privately owned property. There's nothing wrong with privately owned infrastructure, but we still need a reliable way to make public infrastructure, especially when expansion is so close on the horizon.
I make this decision not to start division, but to prevent it. Some people, despite your best intentions, will remain uneasy about the Militia's influence, and a Militia leader in the Army could continue that unease.
Now, we (napoleon, the other ministers, and the GDA) may decide to let Militia members/leaders become Army leaders. But for now, I think it's appropriate that the first leaders are completely unrelated to the Militia. I don't even have the last say on it - napoleon and pretty much everyone else can still speak.
The main point is that any projects would belong to the NR, not the Militia, and the protection of the NR would always be the most important goal.

Just saying, perhaps we can set up a mock colony on smp9, not large, not fancy, but a small fortified structure, with a small village inside. i think it would be an excellent military exercise, and can be used as a training ground when finished, or they can practice moving settlements. This skill would be vital if we plan to take any smp, or server by swarm. Say we send 20 people out to a specific location, and give them a detailed set of instructions for a fortification. They build it in say 1 to 2 days, and a village is build promptly. Then, we see how it functions for 2 weeks, gather results, and run other military exercises on it.
After said time, we remove it in 1 day, and take our project somewhere else

It is Settled Creeper Bay is Now the First SMP6 Outpost for The NR

Mba, I was just saying that since people from the Militia has so much experience in what Eskimo is looking for, it would be ideal that someone from the Militia is in command at first. I'm just talking experience alone sir. That is all.
Sorry, if there was any confusion or misinterpretation on what I was saying. I really am sorry.

I understand your concern Eskimo and that is fine. But it seems if there are rules and laws, people are going to not follow them. I want the Militia to stay in NR not for a presence but based on the fact we have well over 15 members living/settled there and active. Not to mention many more that are in-active or have not see the wonders of the New Republic land yet.
I speak for myself only as to say, that I will back off any talks about any Militia in this army. If asked to comment or consult about it, than I will speak.

As for the multi-server expansion, well I'll just shut my mouth before I get in trouble.

Lastly, I want to make this very clear, I DO NOT put myself or the Militia in front of the New Republic when it comes to the New Republic or it's affairs. I have given so much time, money and effort to make everyone as happy as they can while looking towards the future of this great Community that is the New Republic. I take pride in being a Neorepublican and it honestly SUCKS, that people here think I choice sides and will always lean toward the Militia. I won't, don't and take the side of the New Republic, plain and simple. So please, you ANYONE has a problem, PLEASE send me a PM to say so, I respectfully ask of that.

You all have a wonderful night and I'm very sorry if anyone took any type of offense to what has been said. I am sorry.
Thank you.

I also apologize if I came off as rude. I didn't mean to suggest that you would put the Militia first, and I hope others don't think that. It should be clear by now that the NR can trust the Militia - hopefully this discussion will improve the NR-Militia-Army relationship in the long run

Excellent decision, we shall now await Napoleon's acceptance of your union request ^_^

I found an enraged Creeper in the forest outside of wrem !! I nearly died of fear never mind the dam blast from the creeper ....... i only had half a heart of health left too

can I join

Yes
