| Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums! Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register. Join our Community Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system. I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way. Getting Started If you're already a member please log in to your account to access all of our features. |

![]() Dispatch from Aura Hyperia Our Region ・ Our Forum Hello once again, GRA. I have an update that you may find relevant to your interests. Aura Hyperia advertises itself as raider/defender, but we've never done much with the second half of that. This is about to change. Upon completion of our current invasion, we are committing to nothing short of all-out war with the Black Riders. Specifically, we intend to duplicate their policy of tag raiding and direct it toward dismantling their embassies. The regions we hit will be hooked up via embassy to a hub region so we can keep an eye on them and make sure they aren't re-raided. Like many raiders, we're pretty fed up with the Black Riders' shenanigans, and we're really damn tired of Defender inaction on this front that makes the R/D game quite boring for the likes of our region. So, I suppose you could say we're making a temporary switch to being "the good guys" for the duration of this initiative. I bring it up here because I am wondering if the GRA would be interested in joining us. We will be coordinating via our Mibbit channel once this campaign begins, if any of you want to drop by during that time. We're willing to work out other arrangements for coordination with volunteers as needed. Thank you for your time, and I hope we have many successes. |

I'm interested in knowing why you've identified me as an Empress in this thread when I've only ever referred to myself in the masculine (Emperor); which I do for a reason, I might add.

From the People's Assembly thread on this:
I really couldn't care less who or how many people are on the IRC channel. It's a tool, nothing more.
I don't see how anything we're doing would leave you "high and dry."
The hub region lets us see if embassies are being canceled, which is a lot easier to see at a glance. If I used my dossier, I'd have to click each individual region.
We don't have a programmer who can write such a script.
lolno. I have never publicized a damn thing we do, and I don't plan to start. Our work is strictly limited to the frontier, always has been, and always will be for the foreseeable future.
I don't give a crap what raiders do, because I go out of my way to avoid friendly contact with them. We're builders. If building is not something that interests you, feel free to stick with the stagnant, unmotivated defense game. Do not mistake my inviting you along for needing your support. Your criticism, with regards to our motivations, betrays total ignorance of our guiding philosophy. I do not appreciate being called a liar. |

Mara please take what is said in consideration that this is the GRA, we play a little differently here. Ambassadors are not given the same treatment as elsewhere, but that is not necessarily a good or bad thing. We treat everyone about the same here, except for Uropa. He is a ginger, we hate gingers. We generally have an open ambassador forum masking (as is you are allowed the same masking privilege of a resident of the GRA) but if things like this are a threat to our diplomatic ties, it might need to be changed. |

I'm wondering what we have to gain from people joining an IRC channel they don't even need to be in our region to access. It's for co-ordination, it's not as if we get some kind of "points" or "rankings" from you visiting our IRC channel. |

The excuse that you do things differently is irrelevant. You are hardly unique in that regard. If you have frustrations stemming from my ability to see your government threads, you shouldn't let non-citizens see them. You can't expect me to ignore insults when they are plainly visible for me to see. (Not that doing it behind my back is any better.) |

Just to explain, Firstly, Jonewest meant we have open discussion. Everyone is allowed to express their opinion even if it's completely against everything we have, and we don't suppress that. Total freedom of speech (well, apart from Zetaboards ToS). Secondly, I think he meant you're welcome to post in the People's Assembly too, we don't have separate privileges for citizens, residents and visitors in terms of viewing. The only protected forum is our military one. Thirdly, I don't hate gingers. So, with that in mind, I hope you'll appreciate that we are discussing your proposal in the open for you to see, and inviting you to engage in that discussion. That may include that things against your idea are said, as SL did, and I hope you won't be offended but will join in the discussion. |

Mara, Frostmark - Please could you elaborate on what kind of methods would be used in this war on TBR? E.g. detagging, raiding, liberating, etc. |

I apologize for assuming you said and did the things that you did tacitly when it was out of stupidity and ignorance. go be naive elsewhere, I have no patience for it. this place is obviously different from anywhere you've been if you take open and frank opinions about interregional affairs personally. this is not the way you go about gaining military support, either of individuals or regions. you go directly to a region's appropriate government minister and bring the matter to them and find out how they want to handle it. anything else is an insult and can be taken as subverting their government.
Let me spell it out for you. your transgression was that you were recruiting volunteers and I was stating specifics so my fellow GRAers could see. it never should have needed stating.
you're "we" is an awfully small "we" then. and that's the reason why we're aligned with other defenders because they do have programmers. hmmm. I could swear I just read something about that a few posts above this one... you never publicize a thing yet post every initiative in your embassies. again with your propaganda. how many times has Istanbul been renamed, each time by their liberator? |

Just want to pick up on this - I don't agree with you there SL, I'd far rather something be shared in the open for discussion. |

So I bring something that belongs in an embassy to the embassy, and your response is that I shouldn't have put it in the embassy? You're literally the only person so far taking a hostile reaction to my post, so I'd say you're the only naive one here. Also, uhfuck you.
*scans the post* Hmm... nope, nothing about directly soliciting volunteers without government approval. Guess you're just lying. Also, uhfuck you.
I think you may have missed the part where we were trying to become aligned with a defender region, at least until a certain member decided that I needed to be chewed out. Also, uhfuck you.
I let exactly 3 regions I'm friendly with know that I was doing something relevant to their interests. ZOMG, ALL OF NATIONSTATES KNOWS OUR SECRET NOW! Also, uhfuck you.
If I felt the need to use propaganda, I wouldn't be wording this response the way I am. Also, uhfuck you.

I'll just post the procedure I'm drawing up. Still a work in progress mind you.

I really have to question the necessity of this kind of tone. I honestly can't fault Mara for how he responded to this. |

It's an interesting idea Mara. Personally, I don't like the idea of forcing liberated regions to have an embassy with your launch region, it can look like using them for self-promotion, which is part of what we dislike TBR for. I know you said it makes it easier than clicking through a dossier, but you have to balance that against how it will look. I like using the peace logo for detagging though, nice touch. |
