Region: Alcatraz

History

Welcome indeed to all our new nations: Iracks Tzerdisland, BOMBS 23678945, and CoolGangs. Please join the WA and endorse Ayodhyadesha when you are able

Greater Westia

Yakuzastan, Canarcha, and BadgeHunt: welcome to you all. Great names.

Churkestan, welcome. May you thrive alongside all of us including our other newly-founded Stan, Yakuzastan

Welcome to all new nations. Please introduce yourselves

Congratulations to our community on welcoming our fiftieth (plus!) nation. I imagine it has been at least 10 years since Alcatraz had fifty members. I believe we were around 50 nations when I started this nation in 2003 and moved to Alcatraz. We grew to over 100 in the few months that followed and were one of the biggest player-created regions in the world.

Teutonic Knights, welcome. Proud that you have been founded here and to share a region with a kindred Transylvanian heart

In just a few days, we have gone from the "small" region tag to the "large" region tag. Great thanks to our new delegate Ayodhyadesha!

Ayodhyadesha, Antevile, Dive-Bombers

That's lovely news! I hope our new members are interested in taking up positions, because we would love to have them rebuild our region!

Maniaca, Antevile

All members of Alcatraz should have received at telegram from Ayodhyadesha. He or she raises a point of great concern and provides a well reasoned plan. Please join the WA if you are able and endorse Ayodhyadesha to keep Alcatraz strong. As we grow, we become a huge target for region destroyers. Thank you

Yep, thanks for pointing that out

(Also it's a he :-)

Enjoy Saturday night, neighbors

100 nations! Congratulations to all

Please volunteer to become officers. I will send a modest gift of ethereum to those chosen

Alright, I volunteer as a border control officer :)

I think offering money for in-game stuff is against the rules though

Maniaca, Ayodhyadesha

By order of the President, Antevile is appointed as Border Control Officer, and is granted the powers to prevent raids, eject hostile nations and ban hostile nations.

It's a bit of a misunderstanding, the Prime Minister wanted to gift bottles of ether (the liquid) but instead messaged ethereum, just a small error as he wanted to save energy by typing ethereum as 'ether'

Aaah, of course, of course. Silly me.

Greetings!

This is different. I was expecting to start in one of the Pacific feeder regions. This looks like fun!

Thank you anteville! Welcome pusillanimous poltroons! What's a poltroon

Welcome to our region! Kindly endorse me if you can, and also from what I understand, you seem to be an alt considering your experience! (No issues we have no problems with alts)

A coward (please don't recruit me for your armed forces!).

True. I am a puppet. My WA nation is serving as WA Delegate in a region that is currently under conversion to a Frontier. Perhaps I will be able to endorse you someday...

Ayodhyadesha

I see, would you like to be an officer Pusillanimous Poltroons?

Ayodhyadesha wrote:I see, would you like to be an officer Pusillanimous Poltroons?

I am truly honored that you consider me worthy of being a regional officer. I will be happy to serve in any capacity needed, but be aware that I am also an officer in several other regions, so my visits here might become infrequent, and sometimes may be only just enough to keep this nation from ceasing to exist. Otherwise, I will be happy to contribute here.

Ayodhyadesha wrote:I see, would you like to be an officer Pusillanimous Poltroons?

Great Leader, a thousand apologies to you. The new feeder arrangement is still confusing at times. For full disclosure and honesty, I must reveal that Pusillanimous Poltroons and I are brother puppets, founded here through the randomness of the new feeder region process. If you desire, one of us will depart.

I am fine with both of you staying here, since it is one person, all the same.

Thank you Pusillanimous Poltroons and Anteville for volunteering. Let me know how I can support you. Thank you Ayodhyadesha for steering the ship!

I guess that means I'm doing a good job as security! :)

Which is a relief, because I've been very busy lately :(

Dive-Bombers

Hi there, Hi there yay! Yay! Tell us about yourself

Awesome awesome new poll. I love pineapple on everything. Delicious and healthy snack, topping, you name it

Maniaca wrote:Hi there, Hi there yay! Yay! Tell us about yourself

I am a newer nation, but not new to NationStates. However, the Frontier regions are new to me, and I am still adjusting to not starting a nation in one of the Pacific Regions.

What do you love about the pacific regions that we could replicate here?

How to join another nation?

How to join another nation?

Joining another nation would be a big mistake. Those folks should probably join you here.

i had pineapple pizza for the first time

NEVER AGAIN

I really like the special events scheduled for each day of the week in TWP, if only they were not so trigger-happy to ban peopleÂ

That's a fun idea

Well, I'm kind of a meme, ok huh?

what memes are hot right now?

Maniaca wrote:what memes are hot right now?

I don't know, but I prefer memes by Warhammer 40,000.

The miniature-model based tabletop roleplaying game? Does it have memes associated with it

ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ и добро пожаловать на мой канал, My legal birth name is Language Simp and I am a hyperpolyglot gigachad alpha male who is very attractive to every woman..

and man on the planet.

Maniaca, To Be Frank

Welcome, language simp. Honor to have you here. You are certainly attractive to me!

Current poll is an interesting study in selection bias!

RIP to all of our dead neighbors

I'm going to escape from Alcatraz! Hahahaahaha!

no need to be hasty, stay and make yourself at home

Hello! I heard a historic region was reviving itself, so I decided to poke my head in and see what's going on. (main nation is Applebania btw)

An honor to host you Cloud Age Symphony, welcome to Alcatraz. What's your background?

let's get ready for a great week

Nationstates or Real Life? In terms of NS, I'm a defender who has spent most of the last seven years CTE, but I'm back now.

I meant in NS but we encourage oversharing here so feel free to continue. I hope you were visited by much joy during your 7 year break

I have an idea. Feel free to dismiss this idea, but I think Alcatraz should start a security council.

Hello KRASUEA!! Welcome to Alcatraz.

I like the idea N-R-W. How many should serve and what would the responsibilities be?

Hm. The WA delegate ceased to exist. Might be an issue.

definitely some type of issue. But there must be some other nation here with endorsements?

We have a delegate again. We're still in a precarious position in terms of security though, and don't have much of a formalised regional government, either. I think we should set up a Discord server - that might help us.

Hello fellas i do not see no discord server yeah?

Hello Coralas!

There is no discord server! Cloud Age Symphony please create one and Wandona please add it to the factbook entry when online

Hey Maniaca.. Do i post my millitary equipement here or?

Best place to post your military equipment would be in your factbook

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=Wandona/detail=factbook

or a thread on the "Forum" can work as well, especially if you want to buy and sell. That's all done in a "roleplay" type of way, which is like playing pretend. There isn't a game mechanic for it. It's kind of cooperative storytelling rather than an actual Age of Empires or Civilization style competitive match.

You are welcome to post it here as well, for the record, I'd be happy to see it

Making one rn don't want to go over-kill as i am just new so trying to find examples and stuff

That's a great plan. I bet you will find lots of good examples here:

https://forum.nationstates.net/viewforum.php?f=23&sid=1f1b023776a9ddba1eaaf0da41ea1aab

Alright thank you man

Hey maniaca I posted my fact book here check it out and tell me what do you think

Whipped this up while on my phone on a train. Nothing fancy, but it'll probably do for now.

I've got no description of my military! I should make one if I ever get time. My wife has left the country for a bit, not sure if that'll free me up a bit or do the opposite lol.

I am confident however that my military is the biggest in the world.

I registered on the discord

Love the factbook thus far Wandona, I have been in the back of many an FMTV in ten years of service....been nearly run over by a HEMTT or two as well

Lmfao thanks maniaca
