I would rather have liked to respond to those who had comments about my thoughts.

Is this more of the tyranny of the UN in action..?

(( And WHEN will we have actual threaded discussions on these forums..?! ))

That thread was closed by a moderator. Opening up discussion which was specifically closed is probably a pretty bad idea and basically begging to be slapped on the wrist by the moderation staff. I'd recommend just leaving this alone.

They may do as they wish.

This is a very serious matter to my nation, and I will see it addressed, one
way or another.

Moving the discussion to another venue would be sensible perhaps.

At any rate,.. I look forward to hearing from the UN (mod) on this matter and
discussing the situation with them. :)

Apparently, attempts to set up parallel UNs in the game despite rules to the contrary are not apparent to Iakeokeo. Perhaps you should read the stickys and the FAQs again. Or perhaps not - you quoted my response here (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=6818579&postcount=56), so you obviously knew it was a possiblity. Even a casual glance at the cited sticky should have convinced you of your error.

And would you please turn off 'word wrap' on whatever word processor you use to compose your posts? Your line formatting is truly irritating to anyone viewing on a reasonable resolution.

That is a silly rule, and therefore is subject to the "point and laugh" rule.

Since the "don't set up alternate UN's" rule has no actual effect on the UN proper, and since any loose "federation" of nations could obviously be considered an "alternative UN",... we must respectfully laugh and point at that silly rule.

On the "word wrap" problem: Is your text viewing less than 75 characters per line..?

My lines "wrap" (ie hard linefeed) at 75 characters. I prefer to see that than the very LONG lines of the default setting.

But,.. I will use the default "free-flowing" line length from now on. :)


With greatest respect for your sensibility, regardless of the amount that you display,...

The U.N. is becoming a bureaucratic liberal mess. We can't even override its decisions in our nations, even though they do so in the RW. It's a liberal heap.

Things are generally locked for a reason.
