Discord is an offsite chat tool that has taken NS by storm. It's basically the primary informal communication media of most of the powerful regions, and also works well to keep people involved, coordinate government and events, and to encourage interregional community. (It's a lot easier to pop into another Discord server than another forum.)
So, as I've managed Discord servers before, I was wondering if there would be enough interest to merit making a server for Londinium. (It's all free by the way.)

I'm open to the idea, though surprising I've never used discord before! I'll have to create an account - do you only have one and would you name it after your nation?

I've looked a bit more at discord and it looks like a great idea! It would be more accessible and easier to use, however I do think we should continue using the forum as well.

We should definitely continue using the forum, as the forum is much easier to preserve official discussion.
Also, it doesn't really matter what users name their accounts, because there's a nickname system on a per-server basis. For example, I use my nation names in NS servers, but I use other usernames in other game servers. All in one account.

This seems like a good idea! Discord is a new concept to me, though when I played in the past we did use MSN Messenger / AIM, so I can probably adapt!!

It'd be a good idea but we already have this forum and spreading everything out even more is going to make it harder for new people to join I feel

No official government things are going to happen there, and usually the people who are active on Discord remain just as active on the forums. Also, several people tend to be more willing to join a Discord than a forum for some reason.
