Region: Alcatraz
Post by Griffen Claw suppressed by Runescia.
Indeed

Yeah it is

:D
There's a new system of "tags" (like youtube tags, for searching) that we can tag to the region in case people want to find a place exactly like Alcatraz. There's no tag for "badass" so I'm not sure what else would be appropriate.
If you click on "news" in the navbar (list of links in top-left) there's yet aNOTHER link that takes you to the list of available tags. If there are any that any of you like just say so and i'll apply the tag
Post by Griffen Claw suppressed by Runescia.
Very cool, though i'm not sure what tags fit Alcatraz the best. Any ideas?
Post by Griffen Claw suppressed by Runescia.
Yeah Independent and Casual seem to fit well, I like the map idea too... i just don't want to draw it haha.

Hello!
Post by Demo Base 1 suppressed by Ospokaip.
Agreed. Any plans on what we're going to do?
Post by Ishkabeebee suppressed by Ospokaip.
Goodness gracious. Two pages for the census now!
Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.
uh but yeah, that's actually a good point. I think a high proportion of WA membership contributes to that 'regional power' score, and it beefs up Kie's voting power to turn you all into Scandinavian Liberal Paradises. We could also send out raiding parties to take over and troll founderless regions, or, in old-school Alcatraz fashion, help those founderless regions repel raiding trolls.
Basically it opens up a world of possibilities. I'm not sure if any of you new folks are interested in WA membership or if you're not even eligible because you're a puppet-nation of a different WA-member nation, but it's something to think about. Most important thing is to have fun and post on the Regional Message Board a lot.
I'm so old, I remember when it was called "Civic Headquarters." Too complicated for the new generation I guess :D
Post by Demo Base 1 suppressed by Ospokaip.
Oh jeez
So bad it's good :D
Post by Ishkabeebee suppressed by Ospokaip.
I was just thinking... does it matter how many non WA states are in the region? 'Cause I could move my puppet nation here too, if it helps the region.
*didn't even think of that before*
Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.
I cannot find the official word on regional power anywhere, so maybe there is none. But I'm trying to remember what I read about it, and I'm sure gross population improves the metric, however, don't feel obligated at all. Puppets in the same region can get boring for everyone involved.
261st largest nation in the world, up from 300somethin at the last ranking

Welcome all new members to Alcatraz!

Second least fat nation in Alcatraz. xD

Hey Gov of The Free Market Network of Maniaca, would you rather 21% of your people to die from malnourshment, or be a spiritual and religious leader whose people are dead mostly as a result of "acts of god"???
Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.
By the way, Free market, i was a theocracy when that was going on...
... now i am... well, you know.

Welcome all to the land of Alcatraz, for we have machine guns and cake!!!
Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.
A warm and pleasant welcome to Lord Byakuya, whose motto truly applies universally.
Given the weather on this (northern hemisphere) summer solstice, perhaps it would be more comfortable for everyone if we made our welcomes "cool" rather than "warm"
I've recently noticed a new feature: I (and probably Kie) now have the option of clicking a button on your nation's homepage, allowing me to eject & ban you with one touch (rather than navigating the convoluted regional administration link). so tread lightly and live in fear, subjects! :DDDD
Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.
before you ban me...
...remember...
...I have... ...CAKE!!!
Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.
we should recrute(sp?) people to the land of Alcatraz. what are your thoughts everyone???

i'm workin on it! I have other important things to do during the day, like play Smash on gamecube and eat snacks I invented.
Thank you for reminding me though, however, tomorrow is the last day I have with the computer for a full month. I'm going to Kentucky for 4 weeks of training friday morning, which means i'm putting myself in vacation mode (i hope it doesn't slow population growth--my population is the last thing I have in the world that I'm proud of).
Theodonian, you seem to have a lot of enthusiasm, which is cool, even though you seem pretty weird. You can take over recruiting duties while I'm gone, if you want, but you have to know the rules. Do you know the rules? Only send telegrams, and only send them to nations that have just been founded in the regions: The Pacific, the North Pacific, the East pacific, the South Pacific, and the West Pacific.
I like to go in that order, too. Start in the center, go up, and then clockwise.
If you break the rules chronically, your nation will be deleted, which is bad because we need you. It also reflects poorly on me, as your founder and overlord.
Actually anyone can do the recruiting gig, as long as you don't do it at the same time, and all send telegrams to the same people. If you want a copy of the lazy-ass telegram I've sent to all of you, let me know and I'll send a template to you before I leave.
Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.
I love smash!!! Have fun in Kentucky. Thank you and I'm not that weir- nevermind. directions good. what do you mean "break the rules cronically"?!? Please let me stay:( And I would in fact like a copy of the telegram that you sent me oh-so long ago. Thanks!!!
Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.
No one will come. this is maddening:(

Recruit. With an I.
Breaking the rules means sending telegrams to nations in regions other than the pacifics. That's like spamming, and you'll probably get reported and deleted if you do it enough. It's a simple rule, and I figure you won't have much trouble with it.
Post by North Slabovia suppressed by Ospokaip.
Sorry about the grammer. Theodonian and I are splitting up the rucruiting, and I got carried away.

How about:
Dear random individual nation (or random pacific region to avoid being banned)
Come to the region Alcatraz! We don't waste time talking about the actual game NationStates, or anything political for that matter! That's boring! You'd be boring everyone by coming here and doing that. Come to Alcatraz to discuss topics such as:
*insert loud voice-over before each of the following words...and possibly a starwipe*
*******SMASH BROTHERS*******
*******THE REAL ALCATRAZ*******
*******PEOPLE*******
AND..........
*******THE CONSERVATIVISM OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES*******
Join now...NOW...NOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!
Post by North Slabovia suppressed by Ospokaip.
Can we use Kie's letter? Most people are on here for fun anyway right?
So what's wrong with sending a funny letter?
It sure would get peoples attention.
Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.
As weird as you guys think I am, I still think that we should talk politics, but not have it be the central topic that we discuss. As for the above topics, What are yalls favorite Smash characters? mines fox ;P I've been to Alcatraz. 12 years of solitary confinment if I remember Corectly XD People... nuff said. and I cant spell Alkohall when Im drunk XD

is there any way to get the forests back. I tried a win-win situation for drilling uranium and now the fox population is "teetering on the brink of extenction due to wide spread deforistization." Its retarded.

Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.

Post by Ishkabeebee suppressed by Ospokaip.
Consider yourself endorsed, then. ^.^
Post by Ishkabeebee suppressed by Ospokaip.
Also, one of my puppets just received this recruiting message from some random region. This is an example of how NOT to recruit.
"Hey U really have small region whode u consider re-locating to our region?"
