Puppets in the Alliance

[Central Facehuggeria]

That's why nations like that, regardless of puppetnessism, get voted out...

Yup. I think that Mekanta hit the nail on the head.

[The Silver Turtle]

If they are a non-wanky asset to the alliance I think they should get the full protective benefits, but no voting rights. So yes to Articles 1+2 but not to three.

[The Emperor Fenix]

That gets my approval, my puppets are companies, and therefore shouldnt be proper ESUS members merely existing within the ESUS, shouldnt be directly protected in all circumstances, because theyre aoutonomous and therefore theyre actions may not always be with the approval of the Okyton Empire... and piont 2, no they definitly shouldnt have voting power, one vote per person.

My main issue being i am not in control of Caprica, but still see it as a "puppet" because its on my PC, lol. But it still needs testing, btw.

[Five Civilized Nations]

Well, the problem is, not to insult your reputation or honesty, but there is no way that I or anyone in the ESUS can verify that it is your brother controlling that nation and not you... Frankly, besides going to your house and physically watch you do the RPing test, it is impossible to do so, unless we take your word for it. I don't distrust you, it in essence sets a precedent within the alliance.

And just one question before I shut up, did you think about letting Caprica join after Mekanta's craziness or had you already made up your mind?

[Arenumberg]

Nah, he saw me on the forums and said whats that? so i told him, and he started a nation the other day after watching one of the new episodes on Sky, seeing as we get that here now and u have to wait till 2005! ha! lol

[Five Civilized Nations]

So... I saw Hero and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon a year and a half before it came out in the US and I can get Japanese anime and video games before it comes out in the US...

[Central Facehuggeria]

*Shrug* Hero and CT&HD made no sense. The latter less than the former.

BSG with it's omg horny blonde cylons!!111 doesn't look much better.

America doesn't get stuff early, America doesn't need stuff early.

[Five Civilized Nations]

When with the American economy going to be in shambles, I guess you don’t need it…

[Central Facehuggeria]

Shambles? Heh. No more in shambles than the European economy, and markedly better than what the Chinese economy is going to be, if they keep going with their current spending.
