Players don't need to announce a representative in the General Assembly. The nature of the body is such that if we all did this it would fill several pages of the thread.

In reference to this comment about the demonym for Medina, "Medinese" has been used consistently since the country has existed and is even used on the information thread in reference to the "Medinese War". "Medinian" seems to have been invented by Lucipher a few weeks ago (at least according to the Forum).

As I have made clear in other cases, there is no reason why players need to change the demonym of a country and they certainly should not expect other players to go along with the change without a very compelling out-of-character reason.

Just a quick note, I noticed in the General Assembly that XanderOne was claiming to be the “legal representative of the Aurorian Patriarchal Church”. As the player controlling the Church, I was never contacted about this and it would not have been something that I approved. I’d like to give Xander the benefit of the doubt but would ask for some explanation of why this was done.

I simply didn't notice James requested the control of the APC when I wrote the replies. 13 August I wrote the two replies on the general assembly thread and the same day he informed me about it on discord, I think few hours after my last reply. Then, I didn't write nothing else after James informed me.

About what I wrote, I thought simply it was reasonable that a persecuted religion denounced such events toward the most important international organization, which has a specialized office aimed to oversee issues related to human rights, among which there is also freedom of religion.
And I found also reasonable that an organization, deprived of assets, confiscated and approprieted by a state, forced to the exile and hit so hardly, demands for some form of compensation for such expropriations (in fact Polites' RP law about the Constitution of Clergy states that "All religious property shall be considered ager publicus (public land) and shall be administered by the elected ministers of religion in the interest of their faithful and the common good", thus, considering the millennial presence of the APC in Selucia as major religion of the country, I thought it was reasonable the APC had such assets in Selucia and being the Empyrean Temple the PT equivalent of Vatican City I thought it was also reasonable the APC had such revenues from Museum and estates).

I had some differences of opinion with James on discord but then, as said, after he informed me he is currently controlling the APC, I didn't go through with the roleplay on the General Assembly.

That's all. There’s no looking for a "why" this was done, I simply thought such roleplay was funny (without knowing about James request of APC control and actually I even totally forgot about the existence of a thread where demand control for religions).

Do you need any other clarification?

I understand the confusion, that's why I wanted to seek clarification rather than just responding with an in-character message that might complicate things further. Given the situation I don't think it would be reasonable for me to retroactively revoke the role-play that was done. My primary issue was the idea of the Church pursuing a defamation case in Endralon, which seemed a little unnecessary.

The best option might be to clarify that it was the Church in Endralon that pursued this action. Generally though I do not mind agreeing to the lawsuits that have already been mentioned but moving forward would prefer to be consulted beforehand if it involves the Church leadership. I would prefer, too, that legal action stay clear of the World Congress.

Considering boomer is a RL generation I don't think the IG comment is within the rules.

Agreed about the Boomer comment, it doesn't make any sense in the context of the game.
