Why was my nation monkeycloud deleted? I didn't think I was breaking any rules, but maybe you guys can help me understand why.

I was having a lot of fun with the game and it would have been nice to have a telegram or two before my nation was deleted. I only check in about once a week or so, so I might have missed it if one was sent a couple of days ago. :(

Monkeycloud was in the region of U.N. haters and had Kofi Anan on the flag. Now anyone savvy about politics knows that Kofi Anan actually means "Monkey Cloud" when translated into Hebrew.

There's nothing offensive about the words monkey or cloud. Is there a rule against using people's faces on flags? It was a harmless joke. I can't hurt Kofi, and I was doing nothing to threaten him. Although I did find a lot of amusement when it said Kofis were my nation's favorite main course. *giggles*

Would it be deleted if I remade monkeycloud and then used a different flag that didn't involve Kofi's face?

"Note that use of any human or racial terms as national animals is expressly forbidden.."

Hmmm, so according to this rule, maybe if I hadn't had the national animal as the kofi, I wouldn't have gotten deleted?

Waiting on a response for confirmation of how I should recreate, if I should at all.

Oh ok, thanks! ^_^ So it was just that I didn't log in often enough? But that's strange, since I thought when I logged into Dominoville that I logged into monkeycloud on the same days.

Oh well, maybe I'll try again later!
