Go on holiday and anarchy commences.

The region is now password protected to prevent flies from coming in. If you want to enter the region, telegram me and I'll consider it.

I don't understand what is even the point of crashing a region that is just you and me. They must use it as training or something

It's like walking into an empty house and going "ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL ROBBERY! THERE'S NOTHING HERE AND THE DOOR WAS OPEN BUT I GOT IN AND THAT WILL SURELY PREPARE ME FOR REAL HOUSES!!"

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.

Kie

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.

Maniaca

hooah. game is destroyed.

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.

Abchaz and Tjaden and I have been here forever but we don't talk much, you can also post on the Nasicournia message board but they are pretty quiet too. We are mostly old guys. I started this nation in 2003

follow your heart my bro. what part of the world are you in

Specifically the midwest

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.

Experiencez

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.

Top 100 largest nation in the world for the first time after almost 20 years of play

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!

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

Maniaca wrote: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

Ayodhyadesha

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

Welcome to our new nations. Airbot, New Equador, and Mesowanda. It's our great fortune that you have been founded here. Feel free to ask anything and please endorse our delegate when you are able.

Bannand Matjigesions and Dankevilstate -- Welcome to you both. What a blessing you have been founded here. Feel free to ask any questions. Please endorse Ayodhyadesha as soon as you are able to help keep our region strong and secure.

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

Maniaca

Hey Ayodhyadesha, sounds like you got some work to do boss!! ;)

Yes, sorry was a bit busy, will be active now on

I have alts, but now this will be my main again :-)

Dive-Bombers

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

1) Diplomatic Officer (in-charge of managing embassies and opening new embassies)

2) Border Control Officer (in-charge of preventing raids and ejecting and banning nations, if the need arises)

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))

Welcome to all of our new nations: The swedish forms, Soviet support, and Rionemating. Welcome to you as well, 3545c, and to you Airbot. You have created beautiful nations and we are glad you've been founded here and hope you will stay. Let us know if you have any questions

Eperatus, welcome to Alcatraz. We are blessed that you have been founded here. Let us know if you have any questions and please endorse Ayodhyadesha when you are able in order to keep our region strong.

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

FJBrandon, welcome to Alcatraz. I have heard LGBrandon many times, FJBrandon is just slightly less subtle!
