Ok! 

[ivan]

Sure!

He's mostly harmless.

And maybe we can have forum wars!!!

[12AX7]

ok... he's back in. Have fun! 

TernEmunator, you may sign in and post for now.

[sociald1077]

BI am an engineer and a soldier.

You, sir, are no soldier. You are at best a militant, as you have no true government to fight for. And I wish you the best of luck fighting jungle warfare, it sucks. Take it from a true (former) soldier.

[BizB]

Because we can, and will stop at nothing to be successful. 
Beyond that, nothing.

Ok, George W.  Whatever you say.

None.  We hope to avoid conflict, but we know our history, and expect things to turn out that way.
"Hope for the best; plan for the worst."  (Not one of our mottos, but true enough.)

So, you really offer nothing new to the people  of Africa.

Then what is this whole topic?  A maskirovka?  If I didn't give a shit about the people of Africa, I would never have posted.

I'm quite sure that you hadn't given the good people of Africa a second thought until FedCom changed their land claim from Australia (Lord only knows why you'd want to start in the land of Hitler any way) to that of Africa.

I admit that debate is not my strong suite.  I am an engineer and a soldier.  I never wanted to turn this topic into a debate: YOU did that.

Good thing I did, too.  Otherwise, you'd just look silly to the average thinking man.  Now, instead, everyone can see what a fool you are.

A probe.  I was curious to see if there was anybody on this community who was interested in micronations and new nation projects, and who would be interested in dropping by our forums to ask some intelligent questions. 
Sadly, I seem to be mistaken.  There is no intelligent life here...

Step up, young man.  You can do better than that.  Be honest for a change.  You can admit that you were looking for money.

No, I am not here on a Visa or Green Card, and I have not formally renounced my US citizenship, because I have not yet visited a US Consulate on foreign soil to do so.  That is one of the first things I shall do after stepping into Africa, though.

So, you're not really committed then.  Got it.

".CO.NR" is a domain hosting company, very much like ".CO.UK" is.  It does not mean FedCom's website is hosted in Nauru.  In fact, the domain just redirects to the website, which is actually hosted on Freewebs at the moment.

Uh, huh.  You've a lot to learn.

So what?  We're thrifty, and the website is a low priority right now.  We see things like this: we could either blow our wages on a paid host, or we spend them on vital supplies and equipment that serve a purpose in the real world.  It's not much, but every little bit helps.

The TLD we have chosen is ".FC", which IS unclaimed.  But the ISO will not give that up until FedCom is recognized and listed by the UN as a sovereign nation.  Since we are not recognized, they refuse to let us have it.  We are a patient people, and will get it eventually...

Good question...

Wow.  That's... something.

How tall is a BattleMech any way?

[dcrog]

Oh, well.

I wanted to ask him which caste he put himself in.

That was going to be my next question as it was almost my first question.

[ivan]

Ok, I joined the skinhead forums and asked a question.

[sociald1077]

I'm quite sure that you hadn't given the good people of Africa a second thought until FedCom changed their land claim from Australia (Lord only knows why you'd want to start in the land of Hitler any way) to that of Africa.

I thought it was the land of the evil Kangaroo and cute, yet ferocious, Koala Bear.

[BizB]

No, no! That's Austria!  Put another shrimp on the barbie, mate!

[12AX7]

lol.. put meh Great White in the Barbie..

[BizB]

If you do, you may want some hot sauce.

[ivan]

We are talking about Klaus Barbie here, right?

Just checking.

[12AX7]

No; Katja!

[BizB]

HOLY CRAP! Did anyone else get a porntube.com popup after visiting that site?

[sociald1077]

Not I, but most pop-ups dont make it threw my firefox.

[ivan]

Anyway, here is the micronations.net site, which explains what our friend is on about. And the Wikipedia page on micronations.

Fairly deep geekdom (which to uninterested parties translates to "stupendous waste of time").

The problems I have with FedCom: (1)Racist/white supremacist underpinnings; (2) Authoritarian model of government; (3) The inventor takes himself far too seriously; (4) The inventor couldn't think of an original name for his country, and  (4) Fraud (unlike some much more interesting micronations, FedCom has no actual territory with an actual population).

[Agent_Tachyon]

See I'm sad now I thought this thread would be about that family that lives on an oil rig off the coast of Australia, or that one time that Pirate Bay wanted to found their own country to free the internets or whatever they do.

I would like to add to ivan's list.

(6) False claims of heroism. If you just want to come off and start your own nation, fine (who doesn't?). But do it in your own backyard, not someone else's.

HOLY CRAP! Did anyone else get a porntube.com popup after visiting that site?

Yes. I did. I would also like to complain about the spamware that tried to eat my computer after I visited that sight.

How tall is a BattleMech any way?

Anywhere from 7 to 17 meters... wait that was rhetorical question wasn't it? Damn it! (I can't believe I knew that anyway.)

Be patient, it will come. Besides, isn't Sealand off the coast of Suffolk, England?

[dcrog]

Ivan, since you joined over there to post, are there really 483 other Terminators over there.

Sounds scary.

[ivan]

Nah. The site is pretty dead.

If they had a large, active membership, our friend woulndn't need to spam here.

[BizB]

IT WASN'T SPAM, DAMN IT!  HOW MANY TIMES (HUH?  YELLING? OH. sorry) does he have to tell you.  It was merely a probative invite to give him money.

[Wunderkind]

It was merely a probative invite to give him money.

That sounded dirty.
I don't usually have to pay for that. Generally, I can go somewhere and get it for free. 

[Terminator_484]

You can admit that you were looking for money.

That would help, but I came looking for future citizens. 
I see there are none to be found here.

So, you're not really committed then.

Committed to the cause, yes. 
Compulsive and impatient, no.

[Wunderkind]

So you are a recruiter, then? I should point out that if you are, you suck at it.
Your tactics should adapt to the environment. If people don't like your original presentation, you don't keep trying to beat it into them, generally you'll create more resistance to it that way (but you should know this already, being so keen on African politics and all). And you should get a little more versed in debate. If you're really "looking for future citizens", you should be prepared for a good round of Devil's Advocate, most intelligent people will want to tear a cause down before they support it. Your weak ability to defend an ideal you claim to be so committed to, brings, not only your conviction, but the cause itself, into question. The only thing you managed to convince me of, is that you are as foolish and self-centered as your website makes you out to be. You didn't change my mind in anyway, you just reinforced my original resolve. Stamping your feet and sticking out your bottom lip about it, will get you nowhere... except here. Here (and I speak from observation) it will get you ridiculed and mocked... and possibly banned. 

By the way, if FedCom is paying you for this, you should take a pay cut.

[Terminator_484]

So you are a recruiter, then? I should point out that if you are, you suck at it.

I do. 
Our best motivational speaker is MIA right now, so I had to fill in.  We're trying to double the citizen count by this summer.  That's why I came here.  It was just the next community on the tour...

Maybe if we change direction a bit:



How many people here think their government is corrupt and beyond repair?
