Join the new world

The Seed has been planted.

SF is an independent militia now?

I corrected this. I was hasty to get this published. I should have discussed that first.

Still there LOL

You guys need to find one person to be your PR person... contrasting views from within everywhere.

Just saying.

I rarely agree with Jude, but well... I agree with Jude. o.O

It's great that US-AIM has a unified cause, but it needs a unified voice. Even if every disparate group that has come together did so for reasons that contrast with the others, and I've seen reasons that range anywhere from noble to ignoble.

PR for US-AIM can only get better if there is one voice that speaks for the group at large on what bands you together. Even if each MU has to provide input and filter the message going out, at least the voice speaking for the association can put your best foot forward and ignore those various causes and show the world you are united specifically for the purpose of doing good for America and having a wonderful time while doing so.

Your audiences don't need to hear the various motivations because anything aside from "America" and "fun for our people" comes off as selfish, and will not positively advance the cause.

Aim, is a democratic unit. Some of the views are different. I don't see that as a problem.

It's not a unit, it's an association of many units... and there are plenty of units out there who are not a part of the association and good PR would convince even more of those units to join the cause. Yes, the direction is democratic. I don't think Jude or myself ever said anything about that being a problem. You misunderstan😛 It's not an inward issue, it's an outward issue. Sure, everyone within the association has their own reasons for being there, and we've been hearing that cacophony of reasons for the past several days. No one has to convince US-AIM MUs to join the cause though, they're already there... you don't preach to the choir behind you, you preach to the pews ahead of you.

Have your reasons, that's fine. However, the association should want to appear as united as possible, as there are many more non-gov't MUs out there who have yet to affiliate with US-AIM. To that end, the association would be best served to come up with a single focus. You want to convince those people that you're not just trying to upstart a government you don't agree with ("meet the new boss, same as the old boss"? that'll turn people off), you start looking to the positive and get everyone on it. A chorus is at its most melodious when the voices sing as one and do so in perfect harmony.

Again, my highest recommendation is pitching to the world that the association is united under the most noble of banners. First and foremost, that would be the best interests of America and her allies. Second is good fun, because that's what a game is about.

All that we do, is talk about alliances and coordinate battles. The purpose, was to do what we had been asking the government to do. It's opinion, whether or not it was noble. Other than that, I give DMV, mass credit. But, he isn't in charge

The most awesome part is that we get to do it the way we want to do it. If it gives more fodder, cool. This thing won't look like SPQR, USAF, UNITY, or any other governmental organization you've seen. Call it half-baked, call it a threat, call it inconsequential—call it anything you want or nothing at all. The good thing is the guys in it are having a good time playing together, and that's great progress in this game unless your goal is to be the last man standing in eRep.
