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'm never gonna spend a lot of time in #eurochat, however many channels we have.

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.

I like Phil Collins. And Trains.

Or what if admins copy-and-paste all the text in obsolete channels like #debate, #gaming or #euro10-archive into somewhere outside of discord for public access?

That is a solution listed in the article. It certainly should be taken upon by those who feel most strongly against deleting information in channels.

Debate isn't obsolete, technically.

Somebody's got to keep you entertained.

Where people talk about games... not related to NS. I've seen Stellaris, HoI, SWTOR, FFXIV-- a ton of game discussed there-- even some of the cultural games we play like Salem.

Yeah, we tend to move over to #gaming when we have our late-night games of ToS, or go into VC.

I feel like those are both weak arguments. If a group of people want to discuss a game - be it ToS or something on Steam - then use a private chat group. We don't need a channel _just_ for that. And I know #gaming is used for weekend games planning (or at least I've been told as much); why not simply use #culture for that?

At this point I don't see a reason to get rid of it. But I think it does bring up the problem that it's always going to be harder to scale back Discord channels on the back-end than to start them on the front-end. Going forward, I think the best move is to just be very misery about approving new channels (i.e. in retrospect, the #euro10 channel was probably a bad idea).

Then the problem with that is that #culture is likely not public. So you got two channels that could do the same things, except weirdly can't.

Well, discussing games in general would not be appropriate content in Culture's channel, and I assume those that plan weekend games are in Culture so they should have access to #culture already.

Here is the thing, if we have a #gaming channel why not one for films or TV?
