Greeting new islanders!
I am Dominion of Compassion, New Republica South Senator! As such, it's part of my job to oversee the political parties, encourage recruitment to them, and generally help in the upkeep! And, in the spirit of that, I'd like to welcome you all, newcomers and old islanders, to the NRS Debate Thread! This thread is specifically for new and old islanders to mix and mingle, express political views (in terms of nationstates as well as real world politics) in a polite, civilized manner. This is also the place where new islanders can find the party that's right for them, create one of their own, and/or be recruited by existing parties that share their philosophies.
Now, for the rules:
1) Absolutely NO insulting other islanders. We all are different and have various political beliefs, religious affiliations, etc. But we're also all members of the 10KI, the greatest region out there! Our debates and discussions need to reflect that.
2) I'd prefer you not insult political or religious leaders either, as that could spiral out of control as well. Examples include, but are not limited to- "(insert political leader here) is an idiot." "(Insert religious leader here) is a religious wack job moron." Appropriate remarks can be, but are not limited to the following- "(insert political leader here) doesn't sit well with me. I don't agree with his/her policies, and I feel like they aren't the best option for (insert country here). (List your reasons why you believe that). Or "(insert religious leader) seems to be a bit bigoted in their beliefs, and I don't agree with what they have to say. (Insert reasons why you believe that).
3) Have fun with it! Debates can be stressful, but not if executed properly! Debates should be fun exchanges and comparisons of ideas and beliefs! By actively engaging in this, we are strengthening the 10KI political party system and the Islands as a whole!
Witchcraft and Sorcery I want you serving with me and Odrin as moderators. We will help make sure the rules are observed and that people don't get out of hand.
Thank you, and have fun! Let's get the party system active once more!
