Admit Oscland into Bastion
Admit Oscland into Bastion
As per http://bastionunion.org/forum/viewtopic ... 288#p18288 , Oscland has expressed interest in joining the Bastion Union.
This is a private topic where we can discuss our feelings on this, and if we want to go through that whole rigamarole of doing nation-specific votes or if we can just come to a clear consensus without it.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
If Oscland was the one with all the watership down references in its city names then I'm wholly in favour.
Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
What's this Oscland like? I have to be honest that I don't think I've ever heard of them.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
I had a good deal of interaction with them when I was A-G of the MCS and when I was involved with the CIS. They were one of the original Lovely offshoots along with Jamzinia, New Brittania, etc. Oscar's always been a cool cat, so I'm in favor of seeing them join us.

I hope there's lots of hoop-jumping, crying about douchebags and stuff like that...

Very much in favour, good to have Oscar back.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
I was a citizen of Oscland once, Oscar's pretty cool. I'm slightly surprised he changed from the fashionable MCS 'anti-Bastion' view to the 'let's join' view that quickly, but that can only say good things about us So yeah, I'm in favour of them joining.

Considering it's like a one-man nation and that one man isn't you I don't think we have to worry too much about douchebags.Malliki wrote:I hope there's lots of hoop-jumping, crying about douchebags and stuff like that...
Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
Hey, apparently some people see douchebags everywhere. It's scary.

If its a one-man nation, shouldn't we gradually try to convince him to merge with an existing nation.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
He's just trying to restart Oscland, which wasn't a one-man nation before, so I don't think he'd be very keen. He's already got one you see.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
Totally in favor.
Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
Would we be okay just declaring a consensus approval rather than mucking around with votes? Or, perhaps, does anyone have any strong objections to that and/or Oscland?
I think we should give this a few days just in case there are people that haven't seen it yet, but might as well try to set up the groundwork.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
I think we should have national votes.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
The established precedent is that new nations have to be approved by national votes. So I will be pushing for that.

Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
The established precedent is that we can do whatever we want. We wanted national votes then. The question is if we still want them now.
When in doubt, encourage it yourself, eh?Malliki wrote:I hope there's lots of hoop-jumping
Re: Admit Oscland into Bastion
Yep. Antica and Babkha had to be voted in, hence the precedent is that new nations need to be voted in. So I propose that we hold national votes.
