iNCi
Fionia
For those of you unaware, iNCi is a Turkish group that has taken up residence in the eUS for now. Several of their members have gotten citizenship here, and a good number have been eBorn here, too. In fact, they currently are the #5 party.
This has caused some people in our country, our media, and our forums to worry. After watching the debates about and actions of iNCi unfold, I have to say that I am not among that worrying group.
To explain why, let me compare iNCi to another foreign militia that I’ve seen that was an outright threat: the Serbians in New Zealand. I won’t get into the history of NZ too much, here, but just let me make my main point: after comparing iNCi to the Serbians, I don’t see iNCi as a threat.
It all boils down to the idea of community involvement.
Political Parties
Both iNCi (so far) and the Serbian NZers stuck mainly to forming a political party within their own group, and advancing that party. The big difference here is the speed with which it was done. The Serbian party, at the time called Free New Zealand, was created on October 23rd. Within 24 hours, it went from 30 people to 118 (proof).
iNCI has been steadily climbing the party rankings for a couple weeks, and only now just broke into the top 5. From what I’ve heard of their population statistics, they easily could have shot to number 1 in a day, and yet they chose to go the slow route (zoom in to the start of January 2011 to the present). They also have been climbing for a month, instead of attempting to break into the top 5 the last day that Congressional candidates can be set.
Military Involvement
Serbian NZers came over mainly as militia members, too. The main group was the White Eagles, but not all the Serbian NZers were part of that militia. However, for all of the Serbian NZers, one thing remained true: they had little to no interest in joining the national army that had been created. They much preferred to stay in their own militia groups.
iNCi, despite language and cultural difference (which some people might try to use as an excuse for the Serbian NZers), have been persistent in attempting to join the eUS military. When they were turned away (for whatever reason, it doesn’t matter), they next went to our top militia in the country, SEAL Team 6, where already a couple dozen have been accepted. They don’t want to be entirely separated from the eUS, they want some form of integration.
Final Thoughts
Only time will tell if iNCi is really a threat, and if they turn out to be, I’m sure it will be blindingly obvious in hindsight. However, from what I’ve seen, and what experiences I can draw on to compare this to, I see no strong reason to treat iNCi as an outright threat.
Also, who doesn't love owls?

Great article, Fionia!
VOTE AND SUB!
Seems like good logic to me
Voted and subscribed for awesomeness,
Hail Fionia
Excellent Rationale Fi, Incorporation into an existing community requires transparancy on all sides in order to foster seamless intergration.
This is the thing that i tell since the first day.
V+S
Good stuff 🙂
lol wtf?!
youre actually comparing a country that has several thousand citizens to a country that has about 50! xD
'Serbs-Within 24 hours, it went from 30 people to 118 (proof).
iNCI has been steadily climbing the party rankings for a couple weeks, and only now just broke into the top 5'
lolwut?! serbs did it in NZ and inci did it in america, and you say it's not the same? well, sure as hell it aint same. if inci wanted to go to NZ they'd make about 99% of the population there.
xD
im not saying US should be afraid of inci. im just saying that the 'facts' youre trying to point out lack in the logic department 🙂
Fionia is right.
It's perfectly logical, Jovan. I'm not comparing Serbia to Turkey, I'm comparing a group of Serbians moving to a foreign country to a group of Turks moving to a foreign country.
its not even remotely similar, coz you miss the most important fact: there are about 50 kiwis playing this game(at most!). it doesnt matter if its serbia, turkey, usa or croatia... theres 50 of em, and youre comparing them to a nation that has thousands of citizens...
im not even trolling...
Sorry, I thought you were comparing Serbia to Turkey, not NZ to the US.
Either way, the population of whatever countries were comparing here doesn't matter. The point is about how much effort the groups made to become integrated with their new country, not how easy it would be for said groups to take over completely (which is where population would matter).
NZ's population being small is irrelevant to how little effort the Serbia NZers put into integrating with the other people.
Atm, the inci numbers in country are greatly exagerated. They've less than 200 people here. I'd bet closer to 75 with plenty of multi's.
Not sure where everyone gets these huge numbers.
They declared for Claire last week and barely made a blip in the voting. And like any group of 200, only a few are actually active participants, doing more than some two clicking and fights.
But aside from that regularly repeated rumor (size atm), don't want to spam up your article.
Hope you're right Fionia.
Good analysis, and well thought-out.
A hat, that owl has a freaking hat.
the belittled threads may be a big trouble in time..
Good analysis Fi.
Voted.
Little owl is cute. Big owl can eat kitties.
nice article panpa
I agree that INCI needs to integrate into America and so far they have done an excellent job. However, I fail to see the difference, especially if 'they easily could have shot to number 1 in a day', in a slow climb and a fast climb up the political ranks. I will give them Kudos for NOT PToing a party to get there. With their party in the Top 5 they will have the ability to run candidates of their own choosing and the FEC for all it's bluster will not be able to control who they run, at least one of the candidates they run will be elected. When that happens we will see this goes.

yeah, but , when youre a majority you cant really integrate, right? 🙂
When you integrate, you can also infiltrate...
I was against them coming here for the one simple reason. They could and did start a political party. They could and did reach the top 5 and may now run candidates and be assured they will run candidates of their own choosing. They know where the real power lays and it is not the Military. I do not care if the join the Military so long as it is a branch NOT supported by taxpayer gold. Since INCI runs communes they pay little if any income tax and should be able to supply their players. The INCI member GS10, who friended me this morning, has 16 companies...3 Q5, 2 Q4, 1 Q3, 1 Q2 and the rest Q1. I see no problem with them supplying ST6 with all they will need.
"Since INCI runs communes they pay little if any income tax and should be able to supply their players"
that's too logical CHS, too logical.
I'm curious to Candor throwing out the multi phrase with no response about it... agreeing or disagreeing.
