I think it's better to be one of the larger, more active armies with less "allies", than a small, shell of an army that helps pile for a network of imperialists and "independents" and invaders working together.

In the former case, you hold real weight and influence in the system. In the latter case, you're a whipping boy for the bigger organizations.

Furthermore, it's not wise to make judgements based on the activity of groups now. A year ago this time, invaderdom was dead. Even more dead than defenderdom is supposedly "dead" now. These things shift based on who is available to organize missions.

Again, we would now have the mechanism to do that IF we had people who wanted to. As it stands now, if someone wanted to join a raid, they couldn't really do it under the #SPSF banner. I do have strong beliefs that certain raiding groups should be steered away from.

I can't say at this point we would support anything or any one. There is no SPSF to have an ideology. The current thought process we are independents comes from people who aren't active or involved in the SPSF, only TSP politics. This will definitely be a work in progress. Can't see what works without getting out there and trying. We might find things that don't work. Anything we don't try WILL fail.

You can see what works, but doing it all at once, only sees how they work together, not how they work in isolation - if one of them works the best in isolation then doing them all simultaneously will give you inaccurate feedback.

I don't see it as doing it together. As long as we let the two organizations run autonomously, they wouldn't wouldn't be fighting each other. I see both units representing themselves as independent organizations representing TSP, not TSP deciding to "lets try this today". I can even see disagreement within the two groups within TSP. I would hope and direct outside disagreement to the unit involved and not just the South Pacfic Armed ideology. Again, won't see if it works or not if we don't try. If we try , it MIGHT fail. If we do nothing it WILL fail.

Ya don't see TSP forces are both sides of a confrontation as an automatic failure?

Will you give the army a motto ? Like I was ? Even if you don't I will most likely vote for you myself.

I think the TSP military needs to be led by appointed, known members. The game play world gets nervous with unknown people showing up for a mission. There is nothing stopping civilians from joining missions as individuals, both TSP missions and missions led by outside groups. The point here is making an armed forces identified and respected by the outside as well as maintaining communications with the TSP government and not just going out doing things outside the regions best interest.

I see me as the only real active player a failure. I think that the general staff and myself will have issues where both groups will want to join each side of an engagement. It will be my job to decide, on a case by case basis, which side TSP will take. I hope it gets this active.

As a former soldier in real life (USMC) motto's have a purpose. "Semper Fi" means something to me that someone never being a Marine will never understand. We can explore this. There is an opportunity for 4 mottoes here, One for the SPSF, One for the National Guard, One for the reserves and one for the combined outfit.
