Makes the place look a bit less like a string of luminous snot on Jingdao's sleeve - AYE.

Go on, throw in a 'Rebel Uprising' icon by Erinmur. You know you want to.

AYE.

As Çerid names look quite Turkified already (to my eye at any rate), the prospect of Shy floating back to give his blessing any time soon seems minimal, the continuity of names looks more like grace than appropriation and falls within established precedents, and as I've no appetite to prolong the pa...

Have you brought us a newbie, Ed?

I like the flag - somehow manages to look more Kalgachi than Kalgachia's.

AYE.

As the claimant hasn't yet confirmed that he'll keep it in Batavian possession, NAY. I remain to be convinced that it won't be instantly gifted to Amokolia to pick up a previous claim, which is outside the intention of the donor state and would set a disingenuous precedent.

I might be more sympathetic to a much smaller claim but this one's a NAY.

I'm sure claims in the proper format will be submitted by the beneficiary states in due course.

I'm getting the sense this might be up there with the Ralgons, if given the chance. AYE.

Kras' summary of Discord is highly exaggerated (given that he's never ventured there, I feel he thinks it's more like the chat/argument channels of old than the reasonable off-topic conversations that actually occur there 99% of the time) Fair point - I know Discord's a way more capable platform th...

If it was up to me I'd shut the channel down so the community can return to a slower, more harmonious vibration. Discord, like IRC and AIM before it, is an aptly-named venue for idle windbaggery and cumulative self-incrimination in which projects and narratives are drained of spontaneity by pre-gami...
