[An ASM/RedArmy Announcement]

Red was a mix of genuine and kind that as simple as it is rare. Everyone in the ASM Discord has a story of him being so giving and supportive that it's almost off-putting, until you kept interacting with him and realized he was 100% the real deal. I  consider myself incredibly lucky to have gotten to know him.

Rest in Power, Fellow Worker.

Congratulations on the new move, it's an interesting decision for sure but I wish you all the best.

[Moderation to Reduce the "Hate Breeding Pool"]

Not touching on all the pissing and moaning from the usual suspects or anything approaching the philosophical, if sheepy told his lawyer that he was going to treat player servers as an extension of the game space, his lawyer would probably beat him to death. The liability implications are terrifying, even behind an LLC. The fact that he allows players to link to outside discords already is an absurd amount of risk. There is a reason Steam has a pop up every time you click a link that takes you off site. It's to get the disclaimer in front of your face.

The solution is simply more of the current moderation. Sheepy has a system but it seems to be lacking the personnel to implement it. The only change in moderation I would suggest is faster bannings of obvious bad actors. If someone only posts in drama threads and has a order of magnitude higher ratio of rule breaking posts than the average active player, they can pretty safely get pushed out the door faster. Same goes for repeat offenders who do things like, I don't know, come back to the report where they were given a warn to do the exact same thing they were warned for.

Can we get some sort of automation that runs on nation creation and at least flags this nonsense for mods? It shouldn't be on the player base to deal with something a simple bot could do.

To be fair... the United States is not Canada, nor any other westernized nation, and we do not harbor the same philosophies as others either. We are a lot more individualist than just about every other western nation, ergo, we do not support welfare states. 
in my opinion the current American welfare should be scrapped and redone to be more strict and very individualist/specific.

Basically every other industrial nation beats America in most metrics that actually measure quality of life. Upward social mobility is the core of the America Dream, but every nation that hasn't stripped back it's welfare state is beating America in this regard. Social securities enable individuals to improve themselves, and capitalist thinker Adam Smith highlighted the need to fully fund services that are not inherently profitable in order to support individual growth.

[Stimulus Payments We Received]

Canadians got 500 a week. Also, you realize it wasn't his money and stimulus checks aren't that rare of a policy right? And America consistently lags behind every other industrial country when it comes to social safety nets for the disenfranchised.
