I would tell them that rl situations such as a birth or death comes before a simple game.

and not just any death, the death of the leader of the entire nation. One has been so for over 70 years, and which was highly beloved by many. The absolute disrespect...

I think it just shows how little some people know how the constitutional monarchy protects their rights.

Market Deeping, M R 4

Just attended the proclamation of the new King Charles III in my home city of Bristol as part of the procession. If I tell you exactly what I was doing, you might chuck me out of the region!

A great example of this exercise of power was in 1999 when parliament passed an act to send troops to Iraq to fight alleged "terrorism", and despite the parliaments wishes, the Queen vetoed this act, preventing more losses of lives in Iraq from both sides.

See, the monarchy can do things!

Several new nations have arrived and also a welcome return to The_Phoenix_Imperial_Empire who had CTE.

If you could all endorse The Papal County Of Derbyshire and welcome to England :)

I guess we will never know, although it would’ve been cool if the isle of Westland turned out to be the guy who heckled prince andrew. I have a deep respect for most of the royal family. Not him, anyways, I guess we really will never know. 😢

Honestly, I would have more control over my emotions and recognise that was neither the time nor place to demonstrate my disdain for Prince nonce.

I told you all I participated in the proclamation of the King in Bristol, so you can use that info to come to your own conclusions ;)

OMG ARE YOU KING CHARLES III? LOL

He's either part of Bristol antifa, a republican, a policeman or part of the royal procession :D

Maybe hes the mayor or maybe hes a she and is actually Peaches Golding the Kings representative

If he was just standing watching it he could tell us :)

I'm sure he'll keep his secrets

The Queen has died, the processions begun, one of us out there in Bristol.

Little sharings of grief, one shouts out “I’m here” as if they were now like a whistle.

Oh the speculation, it is killing me for it to be over.

Westland has a secret, i hate to think they have a cover.

So to save us the time, from unwarranted dismissal, please Westland, don’t be fiscal!

Alright you lot, in the video clip after the High Sheriff (woman dressed in green) you'll see what I was doing.

You'd make bally awful detectives! 🤣

*sits back to watch the torch-bearing mob run Westland out of town* :P

Suth Seaxe

Were you playing the bagpipes?

Suth Seaxe

Just finished the 12.5hour queue to get to the laying in state at Westminster. Exhausted.

But its completely overwhelming in there. I'm so glad I went even if my feet are on fire and my lower back is killing me.

Went up last night on my own and made friends in the queue. Nobody else wanted to go as they said it was a 24 hour queue. It ended up being just about bareable.

2am was the worst part...I doubt anyone else will get through now if you try to get in.

I can't belive this...

ONE OF YOUR ARROWS WAS POINTING TO HIM! YOU WIN!

What an awe inspiring procession and service.

The son of the Pipe Major of the band (the piper on the left of Market Deeping's photo) is one of the pipers that lead the procession in London this morning and again at Windsor Castle this afternoon.

That's cool. How did you get involved in playing the bagpipes?

I dont know why you said we'd kick you out, made it sound like you were one of the Bristolian lefty terrorists :D

Well... a bit Scottish isn't it? I am Bristolian but not at all like that, rather a staunch Royalist.

I joined the band and learned the pipes after seeing them play at a Remembrance Day parade over a decade ago. I've always loved bagpipes, marching bands, military parades etc right from when I was a small boy when my dear Grandad made newspaper hats and rifles for me and my brothers and watched us "march" through the living room!

What a line from the Archbishop of Canterbury in front of over 200 heads of state, some of them dictators and narcissists...

"The pattern for many leaders is to be exalted in life and forgotten after death. The pattern for

all who serve God – famous or obscure, respected or ignored – is that death is the door to glory."

Fantastic.

I was a little bit annoyed with the beeb constantly focusing on and mentioning so many; as you say, dictators and narcissists present there today. Just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, when otherwise there's so much dignity and respect in the ceremony.

Todays procession was a truly unwavering show of England’s, and on a larger scale, Britain’s, millenniums long heritage as a nation. As sad of an event this was, I think it really helped as a reminder to the greatness of this nation and what we lost and what still remains. Hundreds of world leaders showing up for Britain’s Queen. We have persevered and stayed throughout history. Rising from the ashes of a crumbling empire to becoming an empire far greater and larger than the romans, it is true testament to the fighting English spirit. God Save the Queen, and long live the King.

Well guys, the Queens mourning period ended about 11 hours ago (6 hours for me), shall we return to normal as the flags return to full-mast and such? If anyone objects, I will revert the changes back to mourning, of course.

Edit: Changed my flag to a flag of my own (more like a banner or a seal, if i'm being honest) and changed those banners... Say, if you check them out, you might...notice... somebody there, that's all i'll be saying hahaha

For sure, but will we be able to make one before it officially starts?

Regardless, I think this whole "A-few-of-us-are-across-the-world" deal is kind of a neat cinch, considering that at any given time, at least one of us is going to be able to cover the bases for this N-Day, regardless of the time.

"Factions can be founded by a Regional Officer of any region. Any and all Regional Officers of that region can update the Faction's official text to issue instructions to Faction members.

Factions can be made open to all members, or restricted to the region's members only."

Well any of us as officers can do so. But I will leave it to Westland or Derbyshire as the senior officers if they wish to make one for England region. Perhaps we could nuke a French region ;) we should come up with a plan!

Suth Seaxe wrote:The n day starts in 2 hours. Anyone on here to help plan?

I'm available! Should we have something like a discord set up for ease of communication? We should also preferably assign roles for everybody and what they'll do in this or something like that.

I guess just let us know who you're targeting and we'll try to dogpile them before they respond.

Suth Seaxe wrote:I guess just let us know who you're targeting and we'll try to dogpile them before they respond.

Well I'll be targeting the regions of Scotland and France, possibly Hungary, but probably not, for our several defeats from them, football-wise. What about you? Anything different from what I listed?

Market Deeping wrote:Well I'll be targeting the regions of Scotland and France, possibly Hungary, but probably not, for our several defeats from them, football-wise. What about you? Anything different from what I listed?

I couldn't find any factions themed on that so went for a region smaller than ours that didn't seem currently active ;)

I've now got 79 nukes targeted against me, RIP :D

I don't have quite that many shields, but I'll do what I can :P

Suth Seaxe

Ah well, I just had to expend all my shields on myself - sorry

Of course, if anybody else would like to black that last incoming missile I'd be most obliged ;)

Hello everyone! I've just discovered a great website for generating art, which also happens to create excellent Victorian style artwork! I'll link the website below and how I got it, but first, I was thinking of sharing the artwork generated, and where I believe they correspond to in real life. Let me know your thoughts and comments on this, I thought it was fairly interesting!

(https://ibb.co/bz5XTJx) + (https://ibb.co/0rwbSfV) ( A view of the High Street, leading up to the traditional Saturday Market from which the "Market" in Market Deeping derives its name)

(https://ibb.co/DD2nzGR) + (https://ibb.co/qn55mHv) ( A view of the traditional Saturday Market, although the birds eye view couldn't have been captured in the way I would have likened it to have using Google Maps)

Finally, (https://ibb.co/Yckq044) and (https://ibb.co/jHnP7CB) I could not find a correlation to them, so they could have quite possibly been generated from thin air. Anyways, I think they looked quite nice.

The website used was (https://huggingface.co/spaces/stabilityai/stable-diffusion) and the prompt for all four was "Victorian Artwork of Market Deeping" although you could swap MD for another town name. Enjoy!

Although to be honest wearing a thin jumper at home isn't the end of the world. I think I've gone a bit soft to want to wander around in my pants at 23C during a winter season.

Hopefully Putin's won't decide to warm us up with nukes

So I used that A.I. thing Market Deeping posted.
