Death of Gralus
Gralus has been archived, and as such, in my opinion, should no longer be on the MCS map.
There are a number of other nations that similarly persist despite protracted inactivity (Interland) or similarly closed fora (Høgmårk) and should also be removed.

Re: Death of Gralus
Interland hasn't been on the map for a month now. I'm still pretty active for a one man nation here :p

Shows what I know about Interland. Speaking of, please approve Lina VII's post in the foreign relations thread.

Re: Death of Gralus
Gralus will be removed when they go three months with 0 ppd or when someone from there comes and submits a removal. Høgmårk have had posts prior to their forum being closed, so they still have three months to get things back up and running.

Sorry for the harshness of security measures - a year ago we had impossible amounts of spam

Re: Death of Gralus
Other nations have been archived on Bastion before and been restored equally as quickly - this has no bearing on what qualifies a nation for a removal. Interland were removed for inactivity over a month ago (shows what you know about the map, mainly ). Høgmårk are perfectly active enough to remain on the map, that you are unable to register on their forum means nothing to the amount of posts they get.
As helpful as you're trying to be, nations' activity is something we keep more than an eye on, so opinions on who you feel should be removed aren't going to work if based on your own criteria. If, however, we've somehow managed to miss a nation going three months with nothing at all happening, then you're welcome to give us a kick, however

Re: Death of Gralus
Yes, I know. We've spoken about this exact topic before, remember?
Re: Death of Gralus
No I didn't. I've found that I'm not as good at remembering pertinent things as I used to be

Re: Death of Gralus
I don't see how Gralus being temporarily archived by the Administrative Soviet to clean the Bastion frontpage has anything to do with the MCS as long as it doesn't persist two months longer. Whether Gralus is dead should be decided by the relevant Gralan government officials.
Re: Death of Gralus
I'd rather we make it easy on Andreas and Gerk until they finish up their final plot line. Besides, without Gralus, Apollonia would look rather depressingly abandoned.

Re: Death of Gralus
Corey was (and probably still is) keen to keep Toketi going post Gralus - how viable that is will depend, of course, on whether there is consistent interest and activity. We expect that to be a substantial reduction of our current land, though, to just the core Tokish territories. I was also going to keep a couple Novatainian islands going as VBNC (under the Tokish colour). So yeah, we'd prefer not being removed entirely - I see this as a temporary archiving while there's a lull in the storyline progress.

Re: Death of Gralus
You should probably make a reduction about now, it's long overdue... And the Alexandrians are eying you angrily.

Re: Death of Gralus
Well if you tell us which bits you want to keep, then we can vote on a reduction which is acceptable to all partiesAndreas the Wise wrote:We expect that to be a substantial reduction of our current land, though, to just the core Tokish territories.

Re: Death of Gralus
I think they will do that, when the storyline uncovers what they want to do with particular areas
