Welcome to Europeia!
So what the heck is Europeia anyways?

Can I join?

So, I came here representing another region? I do not want to become a citizen. Where should I go?

What offices are there for people to be elected into?

What is there for me to do in Europeia?

That answers most of my immediate questions. What if I have any more?

I also want to point out like I did on Discord that the Chancellory discussion has been much more respectful and tame than the HC discussion.

Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.
Unfocused populism is just as dangerous, if not more so, to a Republic's survival as creeping authoritarianism.
Tell people how you feel, honestly and frankly. If you like someone, tell them. If you don't like them, tell them - the world would be a better place if we all knew where we stood.

This is why I've happily drawn back from what was a welcoming community to focus on another, actual, welcoming community. Maybe if you guys get back what drew me to you in the first place...I'll rejoin fully, but for now, I am happy to just not.

I have been shocked these past weeks over what has traversed, and it's been keeping me further and further away.
This post feels more spiteful than helpful?
I'm really not sure what you mean by spiteful. There's no rancor or animosity to my words. This is simply a statement of my feelings.

When I first began, Europeia felt nice. Now it does not. This could be a product of my own involvement in its brand of politics and drama, which I am drawing back from because I find it non-productive.

I know this is a political game, but I'm a real person with real emotions. I see no reason to continually feel bad just so someone else can have their fun regardless of any damage they do. NS as a whole can be like that.

I'm just working to avoid it really.

For what its worth, Kuramia, I didn't read your original post as spiteful either. I think we can all agree on that sentiment you espouse though. We're all guilty or complicit in one way or another, but that doesn't take away from the fact that, in my opinion, the political environment has been changing to one that is more negative in nature. There doesn't seem to be as much of a care about the fact that yes, we're all people at the end of the day. Some of us are better at separating the two worlds than others, but I feel like its becoming increasingly common with both new and older players here to make their arguments more personal and less...forgiving? Arguments are framed less in "here is why I disagree with your politics" and more in "here is why I disagree with your politics and its because of x, y, or z personal fault."

Rachel, I am more than willing to debate with you on the merits of what I said or did, and on the various questions posed by the discussions ongoing - what is the role of the Chancellery? Can players be apolitical in this region? etc. etc.

I will not, however, give in to your continued attempts to force me to agree to your own personal narrative of events - or rather how you want those events to play out. Likewise, I am not going to let you put me into a proverbial corner where I'm forced to give you some sort of answers to questions that we have yet to even craft answers to as a community. You may frame it as accountability, but I find it inappropriate to give my own input before the situation has yet to resolve itself.

I have my own thoughts and opinions on Mouse and her role in the Chancellery; I am keeping well-abreast of the discussions and opinions of my various fellow citizens; and I am putting out feelers to get input from trusted friends in Europeia. It would be inappropriate to give answers to your questions when I may end up deciding those answers are the wrong ones after this is all said and done.

You don't get to set the narrative; our community does.
