  • I'm really curious. How is Wintreath portrayed in other defender regions?
    I believe the most vivid description I've ever heard is 'cesspool of degenerates'. If you were to believe whatever version of their events, Wintreath only exists because I was on a power trip/being a bitch/wanted a sex region...we've been made out to be a region of creeps, especially over our acceptance of Gov as a Citizen for a time. Apparently at least some people have been told that we're considered an 'enemy' region that wants to destroy them, to the point where they convinced at least one dual-Citizen to leave the region. Spiritus has also waged a diplomatic war against the region, to the point that we were actively disinvited from at least one joint event with another region at their behest.

    Maybe that should have been my cue to take things more seriously, but it's all over stuff that happened three years ago. That's ancient history...most people in both regions weren't even here when those things happened, but it's disappointing that some of these things are being rehashed by people who weren't there and have never met me or been involved in the region...seems it's just part of drinking the kool-aid over there.

  • I've become a citizen of a cesspool of degenerates? Must be karma. The best way, I believe, to combat the misperception would be to interact globally, putting our best foot forward and showing others that we are good people. If everyone became an ambassador of goodwill to one other region and stopped by their charge daily to say hi, making a good impression every time, others wouldnt believe negative remarks about Wintreath when they heard them. Just my two ¢. I'd be happy to be a good will ambassadress to Spiritus, if you'd like

  • Congrats on becoming a degenerate like the rest of us. :P

    That's a good way to look at it though...perhaps unsurprisingly, we don't have relations with Spiritus...they were actually severed at some point in 2014, but we can always use more ambassadors in general. :)

    Killary is pure evil, cheated Bernie out of any chance of victory. In bed with the media, the corporations. She must be stopped.

    Trump is Putin's modern-day Manchurian candidate and a Mussolini wannabe. He is also incredibly racist and very probably is a rapist.

  • Question: what does any of this dirty laundry have to do with the question of whether they'll be able to do the job or not?

    Hillary, despite her duplicitous nature and her tendency to make emotional appeals to destroy Trump's credibility with the social justice idiots warriors, does have a lot more credibility.

    Both are using every dirty trick imaginable, but at least she has an actual plan.

    Well I agreed with you for one day in a row. That streak ended. Hillary sets the bar very low, but Drumph is a dumpster fire that can't even come close to that standard. I agree that Washington needs change, something different. But this? God save us all.
