Maniaca

we are exactly the thousandth biggest region in the world

Kie

Good stuff!

april fool's joke is gay as sh|t

Griffen Claw

Yeah it is

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

What does 'liberal' even mean

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

and today i can ask: what does 'conservative' even mean. i guess it's backward in australia.

Post by Kie suppressed by Runescia.

Kie

Lol conservative in aus means only 3 standard drinks per day.

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

: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.

Griffen Claw

Very cool, though i'm not sure what tags fit Alcatraz the best. Any ideas?

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

Independent maybe.

I'm not sure we really have any kind cohesive philosophy, personally I just hang out here for nostalgia's sake, and cause you dudes are the shizz.

"Map" is an option. Somebody draw one up, and be sure to make me the biggest, plzthx

Post by Griffen Claw suppressed by Runescia.

Griffen Claw

Yeah Independent and Casual seem to fit well, I like the map idea too... i just don't want to draw it haha.

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

lookin at you, kie ;)

Post by Kie suppressed by Runescia.

Kie

Draw a map of Alcatraz? No problem! Just let me have my 3 standard drinks first :)

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

Everyone welcome stavpol, he or she is here to get this region back on its feet. hail stavpol

Post by Griffen Claw suppressed by Runescia.

Griffen Claw

Welcome to Alcatraz

Perlker

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

Warm alcatraz welcomes to FnFail and Saetheria, who are here to help stavpol with getting the region back on its feet. hail them

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

p.s. now that we have ten nations in Alcatraz, the top-ranked nation gets a medal on their page for whatever the Census Report is, for being in the top 10% of the region.

It will usually be me, because (obviously) I'm the best.

:D

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

Everyone welcome Dooblevai to Alcatraz, he or she holds the distinction of being the quickest-ever to move to the region after being founded. No medal on your page for that, but if I could give ya one, I for sure would.

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

Welcome Ivygrove to Alcatraz, he or she is part of a growing contingent of civic-minded youth here to restore and gentrify the region

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Runescia.

Maniaca

and Rokkenheim too. So nice have immigrants. No idea what those people in Arizona are goin on and on about

Hello!

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

Hi Demo Base 1, and thank you for coming to Alcatraz, we're more than glad to have you

Post by Stavpol suppressed by Ospokaip.

Stavpol

I am pleased with your warm welcome and we shall do well in getting this region back on its feet.

Post by Demo Base 1 suppressed by Ospokaip.

Demo Base 1

Agreed. Any plans on what we're going to do?

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

The founder sure doesn't have any. If you guys think of a good idea (any idea) don't hesitate to let it be known

Post by Ishkabeebee suppressed by Ospokaip.

Ishkabeebee

Goodness gracious. Two pages for the census now!

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

movin on up

Post by Kie suppressed by Ospokaip.

Kie

Welcome everyone! Good to see a second page on here. Been a while.

I think we need a few more UN nations if we are to go forward.

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

It's WA now you old bastard!

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

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 Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

Welcome to Alcatraz, Chryma, and thank you for coming, or else I'd have spent way too long today asking people to come here only to be completely ignored :))) <3

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

a warm Alcatraz welcome to the Emirate of Knuckle Nuts; a condition many of us have surely dealt with in the past (or have had loved ones suffer from it)

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

welcome Jokesonyou to Alcatraz. Thank you for coming to help us get the region back on its feet.

What did one wall say to the other?

So bad it's good :D

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

more where that came from baby ohhhhhh yeah

too lazy to solicit moves today. I was all ready to get up early but then it was storming so I just stayed in bed.

Ah the life of a student in summer.

Post by Ishkabeebee suppressed by Ospokaip.

Ishkabeebee

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.

Maniaca

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

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

A warm welcome to The Republic of North slabovia, and let me just say I have always found northerners to be best educated, most tolerant, and palest of all people.

Post by Kie suppressed by Ospokaip.

Kie

*sigh* I remember when I was 7th largest in the world. I have a screencap somewhere.

Shouldn't have left for a year!

World Assembly? Bah, I refuse to call it that. It's been UN for longer!

Welcome all newcomers, try to bear with us as we search for better jokes x.x

Ishkabeebee

Second least fat nation in Alcatraz. xD

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

weird that my people are so fat when 21% of them die from one of malnourishment, scurvy, or exposure

Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.

Theodonian

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.

Theodonian

By the way, Free market, i was a theocracy when that was going on...

... now i am... well, you know.

hey squad lets extend warm Alcatraz welcomes to Liebensraum und Cookies and Stilhonyia. glad to have you

Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.

Theodonian

Welcome all to the land of Alcatraz, for we have machine guns and cake!!!

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

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.

Theodonian

before you ban me...

...remember...

...I have... ...CAKE!!!

Post by Theodonian suppressed by Ospokaip.

Theodonian

we should recrute(sp?) people to the land of Alcatraz. what are your thoughts everyone???

Post self-deleted by Maniaca.

Post by Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Maniaca

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.

Theodonian

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.

Theodonian

No one will come. this is maddening:(

Maniaca

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.

North Slabovia

Sorry about the grammer. Theodonian and I are splitting up the rucruiting, and I got carried away.

Kie

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 Maniaca suppressed by Ospokaip.

Kie was a marketing major, if you can't tell.

haha, I haven't been here the whole time, but I cannot recall one conversation about the real alcatraz in eight years :D

Post by North Slabovia suppressed by Ospokaip.

North Slabovia

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.

Theodonian

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.
