Re: NSEurope
There is trolling and then there is what they said. I mean really, I heard Hitler clapping from Hell when that references was made. Trololol != glorification of Nazi pogroms, at least not in any forum I'd hang out in. They're a National Socialist NationStates group.

Re: NSEurope
The pm i got: "Offending material is usually removed as soon as we get a poke. Europe is a diverse community of people of various creeds (or lack thereof), ethnic backgrounds and political opinions, and while everyone is free to express their point of view, we strive to create an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome."
Well if they are neo-nazis they are either continually trolling me or ashamed to admit it outright...

Re: NSEurope
*sigh* I shall give them the benefit of the doubt. But micronationalism is all about first impressions. And my first impression based upon that was very bad. Perhaps it is a bad coincidence, but I do expect much better conduct from a moderator, even we do not descend into that kind of filth.
Anyway, perhaps their map will better impress us. If their map is good then I might just forget about that madness lol.

Re: NSEurope
Edited out because the rest is just same shit different day. I found THIS on their admin's profile. I do hope it is just because he is a default member of all groups, though there are other groups other people are members of but not him....
You SUUUUURE it isn't National Socialist Europe? The next person to post had better have a very, very convincing argument.

Re: NSEurope
Upon closer inspection of some of their threads they may not exactly be a national-socialist organization but just generic male internet users using their anonymity to spout old memes and 4chan/xbox live-style hate speak.
Here's their map of Midland

I think this is an important lesson in how first-impressions of a community can totally sour a reputation. Also, they are basically nationstates.net transplanted into a forum, I think they are all one-man nations and there is little to no concept of citizenship... everyone has their own nation that they are king of and that's that. All cultural development happens on that forum with no distinction for individual national forums like Bastion.

Re: NSEurope
I'd be a hypocrit if I said I couldn't tolerate Channery, because I am a frequent poster in the Ashkenatzi version of /b/. I just have slight aversions to what appears to be serious use of Nazi imagery and ideologies. Lets just hope you're right . I just know that if any of us were to use that kind of imagery in our nations, we'd quickly be convinced not to or face the b&hammer.Nathan wrote:Upon closer inspection of some of their threads they may not exactly be a national-socialist organization but just generic male internet users using their anonymity to spout old memes and 4chan/xbox live-style hate speak.

Re: NSEurope
Not a terrible map. But the lack of detail on any particular country implies that the country building aspects aren't where their interests lie.
Re: NSEurope
No it's not. They are all about the diplomacy and recwars. Very similar to us:

Re: NSEurope
Ja, their overall general similarity to our own community is making my quickly forget the bad. Culture, diplomacy and recwars, my kind of place to be honest.

Re: NSEurope
Indeed. I've just reposted Natopia's latest "RP-event" in their Library (along with Normark's sagas they should get an accurate idea of what Micras is about). I think interaction with them could be as simple as just reposting any RP events we do on our own forums into a thread over there to build up a presence.

Re: NSEurope
Awesome! I'd be very interested in hearing what sort of shinanigens you two get yourselves into over there.
Re: NSEurope
Ja, although we should be very careful not to appear to be spamming their forums as if we're trying to steal people away.
If anything, they're master flag makers, I've never seen such a wide array of unique and pro-looking flags. While land may not be their deal, they certainly seem dedicated to culture through RPing and diplomacy. But you're right, everyone seems to be the leader of their own nation, rather than having the concept of citizens like our sector does. I have a feeling our communities will either clash like bad clothes become the best of friends.

I think you're right about that. I hopefully avoided the spam by offering my post as a sample to them so they can decide if Natopia's RP style is a good fit for them.Einhorn wrote:I have a feeling our communities will either clash like bad clothes or become the best of friends.

Re: NSEurope
Regarding their link to nationstates:
so there ya goPadania wrote:We don't function based off Nationstates.net anymore, I'm not sure how long it's been like that, but as long as I've been here at least. NSEurope as a nationstates region simply functions as a large place to funnel the occasional explorer to the forum to find a new RP home. Otherwise, there's no real administrative link between this forum and the nationstates region itself. It makes NSEurope fairly unique in that we aren't bogged down by the messy power politics of "the game" and it's hierarchical superiority to the roleplaying community. I've been a member of regions that have had strong roleplaying communities which were destroyed by the administrative team because of concerns for stability of the nationstates region. Here, everyone either part of the roleplaying community, or they're oldfags that are confined to the talking point forum and can't be bothered to RP :troll: Otherwise, the big plus is that you don't actually need a nationstates nation to get started here, so worrying about whether or not you've picked an issue in the past 30 days isn't a problem.

Re: NSEurope
I thought I'd weigh in before I head off to the mill.
From the looks of it, they really couldn't give a shit about us, largely ignoring our outright trolling us.
There we go with the anti-gay stuff again. I am waiting for anti-Semitic. I still think they're a bunch of quasi-National Socialist simulators.
