First, I'd like to propose to admin to find a nation that they trust and is not currently engaged with other activities. I don't want to come across as mean, but I think that you need help and "hiring" another admin or Global Moderator might help with your task.

I thought that the forum needs more sub-forums and threads for better organization. I've listed some below and other nations can input their opinions and preferences.

Sub-forums:
Games and Social - Roleplaying - The Cold War (Why?: So nations can participate in a friendly RP to strengthen their army and military organization)

Games and Social - WA Debate (Why?: A place for nations to discuss WA Proposals and Bills that is separate from RL Debate)

Threads:
Politics - Embassies - Embassy Request (Why?: So regions can officially propose alliances and have a process for applying, like in Westphalia)

I'd also like for admin to give their approval or dissent to the FAO: The Founder and its temporary government, the Voting Booth, and the Great Alliance??? Thread. I'm sorry if I come across as demanding. I offer my help in anyway I can.

Bump. Admin, may you please at least hint that you saw this?

0. If you want the admins to see something urgently, there is a dedicated thread for that. Expressions such as "please read" get on my nerves a little, to be honest. And if you ask a question in the Admin office, you should actually check back for the answer or follow-up questions. ;)

1. I agree that we need some mod/admin help. I have now actually read the applications from before and shared them with Keita, which is a small step forward. I will consider more applications if I receive them.

However, I'm uncomfortable with actually granting mod/admin powers without Keita's agreement, unless he vanished and could not be found for a significant period of time. The last I heard from him he was having computer issues which would prevent him from logging on for a few days.

2. How about start by creating a sign-up thread for your RP? If there are expressions of interest, I'm happy to create a folder for you. Though, of course, feel free to start such an RP without a dedicated folder.

3. WA Debate . . . hmm. Sure, I don't see why not.

4. Embassy Request: Yes, that's a good idea.

5. That long and complicated looking thread . . . thing . . .: I have to admit, my strong reaction is not to touch it with a ten-foot pole. I'll come back to it once I've dealt with everything else.

There's nothing long or complicated about it, honestly.

Delaying further just proves to the region you're no better than Mike, you wont relinquish power unless the person in power is your puppet. Shame on you. Shame on you both.

Hasn't Zdenka said enough times that she's very busy with real life? You know, people like to rag on Cyber Nations, but at least there the people are understanding that an Internet game is a secondary priority to real life obligations. And, personally, I trust our current admins to run things well more than I would anyone else here. This post is extremely excessive and a baseless accusation for the sake of rallying support to your own cause. You're heading toward a coup by force and I don't think that would be helpful.

I'm sorry if I caused anything. I know this is a secondary-comitment for most people, but I am just offering my help.

Shame on you Viis for not being armed with all the facts. Having known you for some time I would of expected you to of at least asked me what the issue was instead of throwing your own accusations at the wall.

All this would be perfectly valid criticism if it wasn't for the fact that both admins have logged on multiple times since the letter was posted two weeks ago.

Yeah Quinn's probably right, I guess I open my mouth too soon sometimes.
But logging on doesn't mean they have the time or ability to handle things.

Quinn, that's absurd and you know it.

Caninope, I try to log on every day, but sometimes I just read my PMs and take a quick look around the forums to make sure nothing has exploded. Other times, I log on and deal with things in order of their easiness to deal with. Meaning, I do the Shared Nation before the government because it is simple, I know what to do, and it doesn't stress me out. Just because I have read something once does not mean that I know what to do about it right away. :) And when I am not sure what to do, I tend to put off making a decision. You are free to dislike that, but it doesn't make me power-hungry; it makes me human. And one who, yes, has limited time and energy to spare on this game right now.

That's the purpose of the emergency government though, Zdenka.

Because you don't have time, and because you're moving slowly. The legislation itself takes all of 5 minutes to read (and I should know, because it only took me 15 minutes to write it).
