While I must say that in the war game you've been rather a thorn in Tinto's side, John, I must give you my congrats as well. So here *tosses a bag with the word CONGRATS! printed on the side to John* Enjoy!

I guess it shows my mentality that I'm rather more impressed that the acronym of Dukedom Of Gaien is DOG, or if you are feeling nice you could flip that around to read GOD. This provides all sorts of opportunities for various humorous war cries^^

| Vector a question what if they don't get enough people to become a nation will you start issuing a free pass? |
Trust me, you do not want a free pass system when starting up a nation. Of the 15 free passes Kooluk was allotted, only four (maybe five) have actually stuck with the nation or have remained active. Hell, one of them even managed to usurp me as nation leader! ;-)
Unless John were to have the ability to approve any requests from members wishing to take advantage of such a pass, the odds of getting "good, productive" members out of the deal aren't good.

Sounds a little better than the rate of random members joining and becoming active to me if I'm honest Elc.

You could always leave Kooluk to me ^^; ... (Hides knife)

Yeah but those members that didn't leave are now the life of Kooluk... and Buff...
Anyway congrats John! It's about time! And the Islanders are losing more land to the new player nation! I'd guess they'd get a new area as compensation like when Kooluk was taken from them right?

The creation of Gaien was inevitable. Really though, I suppose getting more islands isn't a bad thing. |

Just to get the whole arrogance thing out of the way: About time/of course I'll be a great Nation Leader/I'm awesome.
Seriously though, thanks to everyone here for wishing me well, and thanks to all the good folks who took the time to PM and/or e-mail their well-wishes as well.
It'll be a hard task to get a nation running in this fashion (Lord, I hate that 1,000,000 Potch pass), but I believe it was the right way to implement it overall, to bring in an in-universe method of creating a nation (Gaien splits from the INF) as well as ensuring that should that day arrive that the nation will be capable of handling itself. Sure beats the "Kooluk was always there, you just didn't notice!" perspective. :P
Thanks again to everyone and I hope I can, with a lot of help from everyone else, make a nation that can make things a little more exciting around here. |
I'm trying to raise the required 1,000,000 potch even though i still have plenty of time,but why try to scramble at the last minute when i can stretch it out over a decent amount of time.
Thanks for the invite John to your new nation.

Don't worry about that, I can cover it.
The Gaien Dukedom pledges to cover all immigration fees to the best of its ability.
