The Folly, A Giant Meteor, This Region Has Been Featured

A Giant Meteor blazes through the sky overhead; leaving a trail of sparks in the sky above your region; those sparks seem to fall in a particular pattern, spelling out the words:

CONGRATULATIONS ON BEING FEATURED

before the meteor vanishes over the horizon; leaving the sky dark and empty as it passes through.

Hi All,

Is this a relatively active Region?

And how does one become the WA delegate for this region?

1. Doesn't seem to be.

2. You'll need to be in the World Assembly. Then you'll need to get enough endorsements from other WA Members in England.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day too. It's good to have young people around, even if they sometimes appear a little hectic.

And then there are people like Wizard and Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who was born in 1900 and doesn't seem to take the aging business seriously...

Thameshire: in Rivers of London there's an ancient Father Thames from the Celtic/Roman period, and a modern day Mama Thames, as river deities.

Thank you. It always seemed odd to me that every major river in England has a county named after it except for the one biggest river in the country...

Its a bit late but just read this

River Severn......no county

River Trent......no county

River Ouse.....no county

River Great Ouse....no county

River Nene......no county

Thats big ones i can think of without looking at wikki or maps.

Would make nice sounding counties. On the other hand, there's a surplus of fictional ones. Barsetshire, Borsetshire, Midsomer (theremin humming intensifies), Mummerset, Naptonshire, Loamshire, Rutshire (everyone's always in rut there, I suppose), Trumptonshire, Wessex...

So how did Derbyshire become a papal county?

The Papal County Of Derbyshire

So how did Derbyshire become a papal county?

It was part of a multiplayer postal game.....which shows how long it was ago .... called patchwork world where the counties of the Uk where countries.

I live in Derbyshire and we offered sanctuary to the Archbishop of Canterbury when he was exiled from Kent....i cannot remember the exact process but it stems from that.

You will notice even though we are a Papal county.....we are not what you could call religious as a nation.....these days its more a cool nsme than anything else

Very nice origin story!

How did a multiplayer postal game work?

There are some Miss Marple stories in which (usually Church of England) clergymen play a role, for example Canon Pennyfather in At Bertram's Hotel, and of course the vicar in Murder at the Vicarage. They tend to be somewhat unworldly and ill-adapted to the pace of modern life. In The Pale Horse, we briefly meet a kind, considerate catholic priest called Father Gorman, but he soon becomes one of the story's murder victims.

Dicpotatership

Joe was walking down the street

when he saw the outline of red-shoed feet.

Joe walked into the alleyway

and saw the pope's body and was filled with dismay!

The Pope has been murdered, his robes stained with red

it seems the body has been very long dead.

but why oh why would anyone kill such a lad?

Joe thought for this deed was very bad.

Joe began to call the police, but his phone was dead

which was strange, for he earlier it had read

100 percent, how strange at this time

his device would lose power when he could report a crime.

but back to the question of the murdered man

whoever killed him left to tracks as they ran.

whoever did this must be good at their art

of killing men. Joe felt a pain in his heart

as if he had been touched by a cold hard grip

Joe was frightened, and on a puddle he would trip.

He heard a whisper in his ear "Leave it"

but Joe was a man of determination and grit.

he stood up and turned around

and saw a black-furred demon standing on the ground.

Joe was filled with fear, and took a step back

"A demon, who has perpetrated this vile attack!"

The demon glowered and gave out a hiss

"his death will be yours as you are a witness!"

Joe grabbed his knive, and with a mighty swing

cut into the body of the hideous thing.

it disappeared into a cloud of ash.

"I will be back, and you will feel our fury and wrath! "

that last bar was psuedo-rhyme because I couldn't find anything good.

That's a lovely story, suspenseful, colourful, surprising, and it even rhymes. Pseudo-rhymes are fine. I believe great poets use them too. So I wonder: are you ready to commit to chatting here in a genuine way? Ready to become a creator? No more deceiving people? Find joy in creating? Because, less lovely than your storytelling is this nation: Ducktatoorship in The Black Hawks. Take your time to think about it, young man.

OK guys im back on my alt after some defenders banejected me.

Perhaps collaborative mystery stories are a better option.

One crisp autumn morning in Derbyshire, Hanna found a brass key in her letterbox. Attached to it was a card. She reached for her reading glasses...

Ok might get me into trouble but worth an ask

What's going on with all the too and fro between here snd Shinka?

We seem to have new delegate every day or so?

[spoiler= Defenders Dont click]OK, this is a big secret, but im secretely Dicpotatership's alt. As you know I recently campaigned to lead this region. 2 nations endorsed me, You The Papal County Of Derbyshire, and Gangsta-S Paradise. Seeing this democratic process, defenders swarmed the region and kicked me out. I was offended so I've been trying to get back in. I have this genius plan of deception: Name an alt "Not a dicpotatoship alt". It is a fullproof disguise and I will claim my rightful place as a democratically elected leader. I wrote a long poem about the pope getting murdered, you better believe I'm going to get my dues.[/spoiler]

Thanks! It's a good and quick way to give others a glimpse into what one's "nation" is all about.

Which program did you use for drawing the map? No problem. Ah, boomers would be youngins. One of the characters from The Folly, Thomas Nightingale, who was born in 1900 and at some point accidentally started aging backwards.

I used MS Paint, though that particular mood map was too big to upload as a PNG. The other map is a better example.

I am a new player and was looking into how it all worked. I can withdraw the vote if you want. This is a chill region, can just play casually. Probably worth having a delegate to keep it that way

My tax rate keeps going up. I'm not getting any options to reduce taxes, the few cuts I've made have spiked crime :/ taxes just seem to keep going up

That's pretty normal. It is possible to lower taxes through your choices (and also just as possible to rapidly increase them). There was a point years ago when my taxation was at nearly 100%(!) when an issue arose that allowed me to eliminate all military spending in a single action (the game translated this into "the military now hold bake sales to raise funds") - it revealed that my armed forces had been consuming half the budget.
