Just curious: Did you ever read Max Barry's book "Jennifer Government"? If not, maybe you should. I once started reading it but then got distracted and misplaced my copy, so I don't remember much of it, but it is set in a time when the government and police and everything else is privatised.

Sounds like something my brother would like, but I probably won't read it, sorry.

Tubbius enjoys this book. Two mmphs up!

The Armed Forces of Cassidon has returned from the warzone region, and we are reclaiming our WA membership amid complaints that the raid leader was ignoring the participants. As we have no faith in light of this experience that the nation who recruited for that war effort is going to actually hold the promised endorsement drive, we're going to go ahead and get started on exchanging those endorsements just as soon as the WA re-accepts us.

Grand Marshall Bloodscale, her people, and all Arclandians are deeply offended by the fact that she lent her troops to this effort while we lent our endorsement to this effort only to get ignored and receive no communication. GM Bloodscale had to change core policies in her military just to be a WA member for that, and it's going to take a while to get her nation back to its previous sense of order. We will not be participating again, and any recruitment efforts over telegram will be met with abusive language.

This was not okay. We worked for months to get those 113 endorsements, and now we get to start over because a raid recruiter can't communicate or keep promises?

Awful. Unacceptable.

Eh?

Sweetie, Perhaps your IP address is linked to your ISP? That happened to me the first time I ever tried to edit an entry in Wikipedia. The Mods there accused me of malicious editing of posts, and banned me. Naturally, I appealed since it was the first time for me to ever attempt an edit, but I was Identified by my IP address, which was from a new ISP provider because I had just arrived in the area. Perhaps yours is a similar situation?

{OoC: About 5 weeks ago, Lazarus played a raid war in Warzone Airspace. An authorized nation hit our inboxes with a recruitment effort. After a great deal of cajoling, I joined by quitting the WA on this main, joining with my warring puppet, and transferring the puppet over there. About 3 weeks ago, a few of us on the forums used RP to ask how long we're going to be there. I even inboxed a few people about it. I got exactly one reply, and it was to wait. Yesterday, I got downright mouthy about it on their RMB, and I got nothing, not even so much as, "Stfu with your sass." I'm not the only one leaving in protest -- that's also plainly visible on their RMB.

This was sloppy. There was no communication. If you're going to have a raid, at least get entertaining with some RP. Don't just tell a bunch of us to go sit on our thumbs and ignore us. If you need to step away from it because of IRL demands, pop in long enough to say so and hand it off to someone else. Idk what happened there, but I'm frustrated at how it shook out, and I'm using RP to say it.

TL;DR: I'm not raiding for Lazarus again, and any invitations to do so that hit my inbox will be met with verbal abuse. I'm mad, bro.}
