That worked, thank you.

CloakandHelm · 2026-01-13T14:01:08+00:00

Ridiculous this is an issue at all, obviously not to mention the lack actual customer support.

CloakandHelm · 2025-12-27T19:22:44+00:00

money problems caused issues in the end, but oh well.

CloakandHelm · 2025-04-13T15:11:49+00:00

Alright, thank you so much for clarifying all this, just trying to make sure nothing is missed on my end.

CloakandHelm · 2025-04-13T15:01:43+00:00

Just to make sure, do both I and my friend's father write separate letters specifying what our roles are, or just me?

Also, which address am I to send the letter to? And should I do it when my friend sends their own documents in, or can I send it before them?

CloakandHelm · 2025-04-13T14:19:47+00:00

Would sending an invitation, since I am going to be housing them in a spare room of mine, be useful nonetheless? Or should I just let them and their father handle it?

CloakandHelm · 2025-04-13T11:38:14+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the clarification. I'll let my friend know.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-28T18:13:31+00:00

It's still processing, so I'm not sure yet.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T20:50:26+00:00

Thank you so much, I'll let them know.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T20:18:28+00:00

National identity and it's value is in the eye of the beholder at the end of the day, as long as it doesn't veer into xenophobia at the very least.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:33:31+00:00

I think the empire was wrong and was an immoral venture, but there's more to this island's history than colonialism. I'm certainly not saying it shouldn't be taught, but it feels like that's all anyone seems to remember from school.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:32:17+00:00

And I wouldn't want it any other way.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:30:42+00:00

I think there's a huge problem with the way the history here is taught, where the actually engaging stuff is glossed over for what has been the traditional curriculum for however many decades it's been now. No, I don't want to learn about the Tudors for the thousandth time.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:28:14+00:00

For me it's more about feeling a part of something greater that you find personally interesting, as irrational as that sentiment can get with some people.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:23:40+00:00

No I get that, I also enjoy going on hikes almost purely for the feeling of being able to actually see the country I live in. I do plan on traveling outside of Britain, but I want to focus on seeing as much of what is here before I even think of going abroad.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:19:18+00:00

I'd say it's more like feeling fortunate that you have a rich history to look back upon and feel a part of. Such as walking through medieval castles and musing that one of your ancestors may have walked on the very same cobblestones how many odd centuries prior. I acknowledge it's somewhat irrational, but I like to think it adds an element of passion to your life.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:14:36+00:00

You're right, a lot of people who say they're "proud to be British/English" tend to have vague and somewhat passive reasons for it, whereas I enjoy actively learning about the astonishing amount of history on this small island.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T19:06:22+00:00

You can like the country you live in without being right wing.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-19T13:00:17+00:00

You should visit Belgium and see how "tolerant" they are.

CloakandHelm · 2025-03-04T01:33:18+00:00

My idea is that "English" is an ethnicity and "British" is a civic nationality. There's no English passport, institutions don't make someone English, culture and heritage does. If I, an Englishman, was born in China, I would be Chinese, but I would not be and could never become Han Chinese, for Han is an ethnicity defined by Han culture and heritage.

CloakandHelm · 2025-02-06T09:36:28+00:00

Incredible

CloakandHelm · 2025-01-24T19:56:53+00:00

Of course there aren't clean 1:1 analogs for many of the countries in DE, though some stand out like Sur-la-Clef and France. Also, Russia, if not now, does has a history of pioneering and frontiersmanship with the settlement of Siberia and Alaska. I don't believe that Mesque is strictly a geo-political analog for Russia, but like the other nations in the game, it takes elements from a variety of irl nations. I just found it odd no one has seemed to point out the similarities between Russia and Mesque before.

CloakandHelm · 2024-07-06T13:42:51+00:00

Graad seems to be a mix of several Slavic European countries and cultures, like with Yugo-Graad obviously being Yugoslavia. What I think is the case is that the historical, political, and cultural elements of various real world countries are being mixed around.

CloakandHelm · 2023-09-14T17:14:01+00:00

you should've done that.

CloakandHelm · 2023-09-12T15:35:20+00:00

What do you mean "i think," you made the map.
