CIS de-expansion
Yes we did, and everyone was like "OMFG HOW DARE YOU TRY AND GET MORE LAND! AS PUNISHMENT YOU CANT EXPAND UNTIL MARCH!"

Let's just make this clear once and for all - posts per day/month/whatever is an irrelevance. A nation which had very few posts per day, if these posts were well-written, well-thought out, relevant and worthwhile, would merit far more land than, say, the oft-mentioned Kingdom of Spamalot, with 1000 posts a day, all or most of which constitute worthless spam.
Shouting 'VIVA' ad infinitum does not constitute activity.
And why, might I ask, has this been moved to 'completed claims'?

I agree with almost all of what you say. But the exlaimation of "Viva" isn't just an excuse for spam - the CIS originated from a revolution from Lovely, and Viva is a display of that same revolutionary spirit. It is to a degree part of the CIS' quite extensive culture - in terms of what it could do if it wanted, not that it does, mind. Of course, I'm not saying that Viva on its own makes "Culture +1" or whatever for the CIS - it is a supplement to the culture that they try to harbour.Let's just make this clear once and for all - posts per day/month/whatever is an irrelevance. A nation which had very few posts per day, if these posts were well-written, well-thought out, relevant and worthwhile, would merit far more land than, say, the oft-mentioned Kingdom of Spamalot, with 1000 posts a day, all or most of which constitute worthless spam.

I have to disagree. Countless threads throughout the CIS's history made up solely of "VIVA" "VIVA" "VIVA" is not the display of revolutionary spirit you might have it be. It is, I am afraid to say, simply mindless.
No, I would contend that 'revolutionary spirit' is best displayed through rambling speeches about how the Nation and its people have emerged from the dark days of oppression and entered a golden age of socialism/nationalism/democracy/freedom etc. They can even add a couple of VIVAs to the end, if they really want.
[EDIT] I must point out, I love post-revolutionary rhetoric, whether the revolution was real or otherwise.

The 'Viva' Phenomenon - as it should but isn't called - isn't useless. The word useless itself means without use - and it does have a use. As I pointed out earlier, it supplements the revolutionary feelings of the member nations' leaders. Whether or not you agree with this, it does. It also constitutes an important CIS tradition - indeed, it is even mentioned in the Consitution (including the Haettenshweiler font, as displayed in their forum buttons).

Blame sep and ignore the point at hand, it's becoming an all-too-often trait of the CIS. Back to the point.

The CIS isn't ignoring the point at hand, other people are pointing out other issues that must be addressed.
And why does the CIS blame Sep for alot of bad things? Because they are Sep's fault. Simple as.

I agree with Chris about Viva not being a proper way of showing revolutionary spirit, but it's not as bad as actual spam. I'm not exactly defending it, but when you're an ex-confederate, the good old Vivas are kind of... nostalgic.
Viva! Viva! Viva!
That felt good.
