Region: Refugia

This community doesn't use the NationStates forum for RP. We use our own.

Vosonia wrote:I mean, in NS

Regions in Nationstates don't get their own forums really, just this message board. If you want to do some general rp for NS that isn't region-locked, there's this subforum.

Well, if I stay in one region, it will eventually get repeditive, and I want to explore lots of regions in this digital world, so I might move.

Yeah, it won't get boring, but if i stay here i will be missing out on lots of friendly nations and entertainment. There's not enough to do in this game, so i kinda don't want to stay here, but i might return "sometime" soon

Sometime is probally gonna be like in a month lmao

I'm not sure how you've reached this conclusion. There's a lot to do on the site if you have the will and mind to do it. Probably looking at NationStates in terms of "answer issues" is the most superficial and surface-level of interactions. Probably if you believe this is the extent of it, learning how to play the game is in order. There is a great deal to do on the site, such that it can eclipse all possible time you have for it. The level of involvement is up to you.

On the most basic level beyond issues, there's the World Assembly. A UN-like institution where all members and their respective delegates write, propose, and vote on these resolutions. This region is, itself, home to some world-class politicians and resolution authors, including Honeydew, Moon, former WA councillor Junitaki-cho, our delegate Sylh Alanor, and myself. These political battles can encapsulate the world depending on their subject matter and how controversial and spirited the fight is. Both the General Assembly and Security Council are sub-games in their own right.

There is regional politics and administration, how we actually run things here in the region and what our regional laws are. The Regional Council of Refugia determines how to keep us all together, competent, coherent, a desirable place to live, and a respectable establishment on the world stage. Each of the Councillors have independent agency over their own domains, including how we handle crises, what foreign alliances we have and how we interact with them, what sort of events we can come up with, and what forces out there seek to cause us harm. Any of these areas are also schools of focus on their own, as a substantial amount of work does into region-building. A lot of this administration happens on our regional chat, which I don't believe you've ever joined. But if you were interested in becoming more involved, any such area is an option.

Military gameplay, the meta-game involving raiding and defending is also a significant sub-game on NS, although not one that we undertake here. There is a lot to do on the site, the only difference is that they are possibilities that you can undertake if you're so inclined -- no one is going to give you a life-plan and say what to do on your behalf.

If you feel you're best suited away from Refugia, that's fine. But you should at least be aware of your environment and what all exists in it.

Really, i just wanted to move regions so i can see what the other regions are having.

Ofc, i'm not gone forever. i might rejoin, like i said in my last post, and it's not that i don't like refugia, it's just that i don't want to stay here forever.

You can always make multiple nations and move those into other regions. Then you experience Refugia and wherever else at the same time! That's what I've done, this isn't my main nation. Be careful that only one is in the World Assembly though. And remember, never join a region on this list: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1081644

They're highly problematic regions full of fascists and other unpleasant people.

Sadly, that is impossible.

Nationstates is a Randian hell-scape in which only our actions can influence ourselves, or those actions we consent to apply to us, e.g. the WA. Otherwise, there is not a soul who can change the status of your state but yourself. Doomed to an existence of lifting our own bootstraps, one can but conclude that every man indeed is an island, and that others may not even truly exist, for if they can not affect us, how can they claim to affect the world?

Hope that helps!

It's weird you wrote that out explicitly in your factbook which is like mine, utterly bare bones. It also seems pretty odd that you'd prioritize that before actually fleshing anything else out beyond a specific interest in crows.

Also, just rename yourself to 'Diet Bird Prussia' yo, it'll save everyone time.

We can, but only as Role-Play, it won't affect our NS Game-stats.

Some people ignore their NS-stats and make Factbooks describing in detail what "actually" is happening in their nation, and they and everyone else treats their factbooks to reflect their "true" state regardless of what their NS-stats say.

I see this approach as somewhat "cheating" and losing most of the fun of this game, which (to me) is a constant challenge to choose the least-worse out of bad choices and make the decision in each issue which is "right" for me. But that's me.

However, I believe there can also be a middle ground.

guys how to answer this Due to the ongoing wars in neighboring countries, a recent rash of illegal immigrants have been caught at the borders of Demonic land, prompting many citizens to call for tighter immigration laws.

I would tighten it but still allow for immigration to happen, just at a slower rate.

Notice:

It seems like it was just yesterday that the special election for Interior concluded, but that original term would normally be concluding soon.

Consequently it is time, once again, to open the candidacy period for the Councillor of the Interior. The Councillor is functionally an advocate for gameside players as well as an RMB mod working to make a welcoming atmosphere. They also have the authority to issue region-wide communication and publish relevant or creative polls to boost engagement or conversation.

If this sounds like something you'd like to do, announce your candidacy here in the RMB or in #ground-floor. Candidacy runs from this very moment until the end of the day on Saturday, October 23[sup]rd[/sup]
