Of course. The only real question is where. Do you have a tender backside?

Did those people try and raid us
Post by Kie suppressed by Eternal Tome.
How did they invade? There was a password on the region! I blame NS...

btw this game is not even fun enough now for me to bother coming every month to login, so I'm gonna let my account expire. Had some good times, but it's been ruined by raiders and key changes.
Post by Maniaca suppressed by Eternal Tome.
hooah. game is destroyed.
Post by Maniaca suppressed by Eternal Tome.
Nasicournia proposed making embassies but I guess the offer expired because it's not sitting in my embassies tab. Just for the record. I realize I'm talking to the voices, here.

Are there people that try and join our region to raid? I heard there is such thing as raiding on nation states but don't really know much about it
I am in Cleveland. Yes, there is a group that comes through here to raid periodically. All they do is change the flag, banner and world factbook entry to some nonsense.
I could put a stop to it by restricting the WA delegate access to regional control, but I don't bother. If we had some more nations that were WA members that could elect a delegate of our own, it would discourage the raiding.

Nice I am in South Dakota. It seems kinda weird to raid, like what is the point
I agree, especially a region like ours, but we have a long history as an anti-raider region so it's probably a symbolic pride thing. This game is what we make of it, and some people make that of it. For youths with a lot of time, and when there are competitive people on both sides of a big contested region, I'm sure it can be exciting.

Raiders usually just vandalize a region by closing embassies, or changing the Word Factbook, but sometimes they eject the residents and place a password on the region to make it a trophy. It is always easier to destroy a region than it is to build one.
God save the King!

Top 100 largest nation in the world for the first time after almost 20 years of play
Toe-Jam, Experiencez
Congrats!
Do you guys know why there are some nations with weird names like The Republic of
Guy 183? And then they don't have hardly any policies as well as having just the default flag. Seems kinda strange. Also they have large populations.
Most likely involved in raiding, certain people will make a bunch of random nations as a way to move through regions that their other nations have been banned from. They can then apply for WA status on whichever nation is in place and resign WA status on the banned nation
Alcatraz contains 5 nations, the 3,333rd most in the world.
All those threes gotta be lucky somehow
Gonna see how I fare at the Halloween minigame tonight
Hope all you guys had a good thanksgiving

There's been a news update on maps, but I don't really get it. I"ll look into it sometime.
Hey all! I'm back!
Maniaca
welcome back Kie!
Welcome to the frontier era, Alcatraz. To another 20 years!
Welcome to Alcatraz, Anteville. Anything in particular brought you here? No judgment if you're here to cause trouble
Saw your forum post, decided I'd come take a look around.
Welcome! Glad you're here and feel free to cause trouble. If you know anyone in the WA please let them know I'll endorse them if they want to be a delegate
Antevile
Hi, I saw the forum post and I'll be glad to offer my name in contention to assume WA Delegateship of this region
I am the longest serving WA Delegate of Ghaly (over 100 days)
Welcome! I'll endorse you, thanks for answering the call and congratulations

Yes, I understand that this is quite an old region with a distinct heritage?
Alcatraz had been around for a while by the time I moved here in 2003. The first region-defender group in NationStates, called the ADN, was the idea of Alcatraz's first founder, Vazquez. A fact you'll never see anybody else admit: I came up with the idea for the ADN's name, which was "Alcanet Defense Network." The guy who was the organizational driving force in the early days (it may have been Mindanao/Pengina (who were the same guy) or a different guy that I forget) misread it as "Alliance Defense Network" which became the official name.
I think it was three or four years ago now that the last nation in Alcatraz ceased to exist, so I re-founded it. Kie, who you see was revived and then died again about a month ago, is another guy who was around a long time ago, so when he comes back he may be able to give you some history NOT passed through my narcissism filter. I just discovered this thread today which was posted 12 years ago by another guy involved, Goobergunchia. I didn't read it but I'm sure there's some nuggets on Alcatraz in here. https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=152919
edit: Apparently I re-founded this region over 12 years ago, according to the first available post on the regional message board
Ayodhyadesha

This seems to be a good region, but more information on the World Factbook Entry would be helpful.

Dive-Bombers
So look, we will have a revival policy, where I will be looking forward to appointing active members to the following posts:

3) Political Officer (in-charge of organising polls at least twice a week)
4) Management Officer (responsible for editing the World Factbook Entry (if need be) and banner and flag (if need be))

Warm welcome to our two newest nations: The Blue Beach (sounds like a nice place to be) and Faes Kielandity. Please feel at home here and endorse Ayodhyadesha when you are able. All the best
Paradas, welcome! Enjoy your stay, we are glad you've been founded here. Let us know if you have any questions.
Please join me in welcoming two recently founded nations to Alcatraz: Oiled Men and Sectoper Anugelo. As a bodybuilding enthusiast I feel an immediate kinship with the Republic of Oiled Men. As for Sectoper Anugelo, I have less familiarity with the words that make up this nation's name. Has a latin vibe. We hope you stay, and endorse Ayodhydesha
