I think localized conferences would probably work better right now. I mean the Dominion is everywhere and theoretically with all the nations it had working together in its disfunctional union, webcams and such could be an easy target for hacking. Not to mention that every nations could and probably should be considered a spy for the Dominion since, some leaders are looking out for number one and could care less what happens to other nations so long as their nations are left after the new world order takes affect. Not to meantion its going to take time to build up a unified army to throw against the Dominion. It would make more sense to me that each region (Europe, Americas, etc.) would hold secret conference to talk about resistance to the Dominion as well as work out plans to build up their armed forces for an eventual assault on the Dominion. If each resistance is successful and is able to take out some kind of target in their area, the victory would certainly spread no matter how hard the Dominion tried to keep quiet of it. As word spreads, groups find out about each other and when the time comes a super conference is born to work out the final plan of attack when the end looks near. So why not have AA and NH work on a conference in Asia (NH has already started a thread and AA showed interest), Huesca work on a conference in Europe, I was thinking of doing one in Americas with the Confederates, maybe Ulgania would be interested in hosting one in Africa, etc. etc. Certainly not a set in stone list but its an idea why not try it out.

First off... once people have anti-Dominion plans could you forward them on to the players effected by those plans? It's in the rules, but I thought it's worth saying twice. For things against the Dominion in general, I'm asking that you send your plans to me and I'll pass them on to Kas. I know we're all grown up and I know that some of you are fully capable of dealing with Kas responsibly - but a big part of the "Dominion problem" has been because of miscommunication. Someone says something, and because it's in text format it's misinterpreted, then arguments begin. I'd rather not take the chance of all this blowing up again, so bring your ideas to me and I'll keep things fair and Kas filled in. Needless to say, let's not see any unfair attacks on Kasynia that Kas will obviously not be happy with (like assassinating Gassel, nuking Zapht etc). Secondly... if you're going to go the webcam route, fully expect that the Dominion Intelligence Agency to be aware of that. I can see the Dominion turning a blind eye to local conferences out of hubris (or secret conferences genuinely slipping under the Dominion radar). It makes sense for conferences to be held in powerful military nations so that the Dominion can't just muscle in. But a world wide conference were you're pitting your nation's internet security against the world's largest intelligence agency and some of the best technology and smartest agents in our world... well, it goes without saying that the Dominion would be aware of that. Which isn't a bad thing - the Dominion could decide that it's enemies uniting could be a good thing (one final war to conquer the world - "Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture"). |

This, I know things have felt different since all this has started but to be fair on both sides, lets not forget the gold rule of keeping in good communication with each other. After all we want this to be fun ^^ Oh and as a small side note because I figure most if not everyone will be reading this particular topic, please make sure that your nations still exist on NationStates. A few have die off and I'd like the get the word out in mass instead of PMing everyone individually if possible. Edited by NRE, May 22 2009, 01:09 PM.

Conferences at sea are possible. Conferences in countries without electricity (da Amish) would go under the radar. |

If Porcu reads this, I'd like to get some kind of RP going to Ambassador Pullserva can be released from whatever prison he's in in some way or another... that is, he would be my Ulganian representative to the conference. If that doesn't work I'll jumpstart my European colony |

Sure thing...What exactly where you thinking about? A covert spy-like rescue operation? Just send me a PM and it shouldn't take long to figure out the basic groundwork. Such an RP would also allow me to further introduce various changes in the military, intelligence, and government sectors :evil: |

Oh, knew something was nagging me. I got no idea if you've taken Nag Ehgoeg's colonies off the map - but it was my plan to have them abandoned by the end of the Dominion so I've let the NS nations die. **** Are there any anti-Dominion groups foolhardy enough to help out a Nagian resistance group - bearing in mind the high risk? Or any Dominion players wanting to take part in a short counter espionage story? Edited by Nag Ehgoeg, May 26 2009, 02:03 PM.

I'd be interested in playing a mercenary hitman/spy employed by the Dominion. |

That's cool, I'm pretty sure you're nations were still alive when last I updated the map. If they weren't I kept you on since I knew you would most likely revive them or I'd eventually get around to PMing you before I took them off. Also, I could provide a Dominion resistance group from the Middle East itself if you want to go that route. |

Me! Part of Telosan is also of the Dominion, so it'd be much easier to get in contact with each other. I could also just be a go-between to funnel messages and resources to the Nagian resistance movement from other sources. Besides, who better to turn to for out of Dominion help then among the newest members? Oh yes, and any smart engineers you have would be great for disableing the self-destruct fixings on every ship and plane Kas insisted on having. Only for the big final push, but still having them available would be comforting. |

HA! Good one. No way. Didn't we fit those fixings in a way to destroy the ship if they were ever removed? Pretty sure we did. And I really just wanna run counter-espionage rather than resistance. Resistance is futile. I mean, boring. More of the same is always boring. Counter-espionage, now that's a new take on things. Let's see some consequences for resistance. |

Get TAf moving. You have some Ulgan labor camps in there... do something fun with them. Wow, that felt evil to type. |

TAf and TAs are only Dominion so they wouldn't be smashed into tiny little irrecognizable pieces. They do what they have to do, but not much more. |

Yeha, but you still have to do whats necessary to not have your military blown to shreds. The Dominion isn't stupid you know. A little here and there is fine, but if you're gonna do everything short of outright rebellion, the Dominion would only be too happy to destroy your territories. |
