This RP is for Emperor Crossman, Crown Prince Bimmer, Archbishop DeVito, The Colonel and Beretta to discuss recent matters in Crossman Prime.
Please, no other nations to post on this forum.

This forum is to dicuss calmly and rationally the events that recently occurred within our region. This is not the place fot petit name calling or childish behavior. IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!! The idea of this Council is to find out what went wrong and to see if we can all come to an agreement about what can best to done to ensure that it never happens again. CP Bimmer, XO to The Emperor.

Right, I am very annoyed that I have been suspended from my post without any consultation. It makes little difference to me whether I am reinstated or not because if I can be removed from office that quickly, then the post was hardly one worth keeping.

Beretta and I have been having a private joke that turned into an disagreement over the last few weeks and it was this familiarity that spilled over on to the regional board. Fo that, I apologise.

I went on a recruitment drive to see if I could get more nations into the region and what do I get for my troubles? Suspension! Not really a fair trade is it? I have done nothing that warrants the treatment that I have received. Beretta and I are friends and this little spat would have been sorted out without the need for all this.

I understand that Bimmer did what he thought was right at the time. It appeared that I had somehow forced the other nations into a position where they felt they had to leave. I understand this and would probably have done the same thing if I were in his position. What I don't understand is why the Emperor, without discussing anything with me, endorsed Bimmer's decision.

I do not feel that I am valued in the region and as such I am considering a move. This is a reflection on the way I feel at the moment. I have always defended the region from anyone who would threaten it and the nations within. I am still very loyal to CP making the decision all the more difficult.

I have received many tg's in support of me which is why I am taking time to consider my position.

- The Colonel

Wow, this has really gotten out of control! Let's hold on a minute shall we? The Colonel has been suspended? Please! Are you guys kidding? Let's get down to the facts, shall we?

The Colonel and I are mates. We have been having a go at each other for a couple of weeks. Nothing serious, just messing about with tg's. So we said a few things on the board and I left. Big deal! I came back didn't I? I can't help it if a couple of others choose to follow me. Again, this is a joke that went a little far. No harm done. If anything, the region has gained because BB came over from Bakiithia! I can't see what the problem is.
I'll tell you what though, this is stupid!! If the Colonel goes then I shall go with him.

I know this forum council is supposed to be closed but I am a member of the region and I think it's only right and proper that I have my say.

I think that this whole mess could have been avoided had The Colonel been suspended in private. I imagine having the fact that you're suspended posted on the board for all to read a touch embarrassing.
I agree with Bimmer that something had to be done but it could have been handled differently.

Bickering on the board is not one of life's bigger crimes, is it?
Beretta has admitted that he is at fault as well. The Colonel is good for the region and, I for one, will be sorry to see him go if he decides he wants to leave.

I believe it's up to the senior members of Crossman Prime to persuade The Colonel to stay.

Colonel,

No one wants you to leave the region. You were here almost from the start. You are a valued member of the region and I apologise if you do not feel that you are.

This whole issue has been blown way out of proportion. I did what I thought was right at the time. It would appear that you feel this way also. I cannot undo the past my friend but what I can do is ensure that nothing like this ever happens again. Our region has something very special, something other regions wish they had. Unity. This issue aside, we have all built something in CP that we can be proud of. We have 40 nations. 40 people that have come together and become friends through a game. If you were to leave, that dynamic would be changed.

Take your time Colonel, there is no rush. I would hope that you would want to stay and put this behind us.

If there is anything you would like to say in private to me, then please TG me and I will reply as quickly as I am able.
