Sarcastiquement is, I believe, sarcastically, so you're probably good.

I'm sure you've been receiving my telegrams weekly either to endorse me, endorse others in the region you haven't, or to join the World Assembly for a while now. We've always had a big focus on the WA since our founding back in March of 2017. For a long time, we had a relative anti-WA stance, but required WA membership to become a shareholder for security and verification purposes. If you hadn't noticed, back in February, we removed the anti-WA tag from our region. This is because we never truly were anti-WA. We replaced it with the anti-GA tag, noting our distastes for the General Assembly while still participating in the Security Council.

So why I'm making this announcement has a lot to do with my own, and the region as a whole's, role in the WA. Of course I'm going to continue asking y'all to join the WA, to endorse myself, and to endorse your fellow regionmates. I want to see Lands End at the top of the heap when it comes to UCRs in the World Assembly, and we're much more capable of that than probably any of you or anyone else in the NS community thinks. So if you aren't in the WA, join. If you aren't endorsing myself or your region-mates, go do that. It's imperative to our regional security, our influence, and the influence of the Augustin Alliance as a whole.

Speaking of alliances, some of you may already be aware of the rumblings in the past about a certain UCR group of regions involved in the WA. A little over a year ago, we were invited to join, and quickly declined. We were still wearing the anti-WA crown and did not see any advantage of joining a group that more represented smaller UCRs as a larger one ourselves. Through a series of reforms, they now better represent the larger UCRs with a proportional voting system. So with the improved system, many talks with Founder [nation=noflag]Ellenburg[/nation] and other members, and a Board vote:

Lands End is joining the United Regions Alliance! https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1382755

I'm not sure why everyone is against WA, is there something about it that is wrong or something, and if we are Anti-WA should I be changing my votes to suit the Anti-WA stance or can I just put my opinion?

The National Congress of the SBR has passed the Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2021 for the Special Administrative Regions of Pantalan Humot and Lubeck Tulo establishing a mechanism for the transfer of fugitives from these special administrative regions to the SBR proper and any member state of the Association of Borealian Nations.

In response, protesters in the two cities have began pouring into the streets voicing concerns over the feared removal of the separation of the regions' jurisdictions from the legal system of the SBR Federal Government administered by the Christian Action Party-led coalition.

Franancian troops landed in Northeastern Osrelia earlier today. They were met with heavy resistance from both regular and partisan WUF forces. As of current, they have a small beachhead in the Northeast and they must push forwards if they wish to have the proper supply lines for their forces.

Episode 2: The Estates of the Realm

Around the capital of Olga Velikoye, Black banners dawn the city streets. Each banner wavers in the wind as the Black Crow, the Imperial Crest of the House of Marković-Volyhina, stands proudly to onlookers.

Special provisions of the Királyi Stražar stand guard in the city, with many stationed along the Main Street, the Kingsway. Each man and woman of the Királyi Stražar stood proud, dawned in their Black robes of mourning, as their armor shinned in the sunlight against the polished steel. From the entrance of the city to the mouth of Mother Cathedral, royal carriages of the various Noble Houses rode through the street cordier unimpeded.

Between each carriage, horsemen rode carrying the banners of each of the famed and well off houses of Kathricore, those who retain the title of Grand Elector. Near the front of the long line of carriages, one sits proudly before the rest. The carriage shins in amber wood, with silver trim around the exterior. Three horsemen ride before the cart, carrying a banner of Blood Red Crimson, with the Seal of a White Boar, the sigil of House Kalkator-Zagata, the seated Viceroys of Casmir.

Behind them was another carriage of green pine wood with golden trim. Before them a banner of Forest Green shook in the wind, with a towering Red Tree encompassing the banner. The Sigil of House Drados-Lewand, Seated Princes and Princesses of Virgard.

And this continued for nearly an hour, as various noble carriages representing their prestigious houses until near midday. Within the Sanctum of the High Kings, statues of the eldest and proudest Kings of Kathricore stood along the walls, lining the halls to the inner chamber. From the First King of the Kath, Roman the Great, to the Last King of the Kath, prior to the late Raško Marković, Varaga Krisztofer, whose statue stood like the man, proud and cultured.

Above the large Golden Dome of the Cathedral, seats for each noble sat in a circular formation around a red table, which laid the deceased body of Raško Marković, cloaked in red and black robes. Before him, several nobles stood, the proudest before his feet stood Tóth Markos, of House Waldthar-Lumbard, the Noble House which sat as Masters of New Badegard, the greatest trading center in all of Kathricore.

“Look at him,” Gal Albert, the man standing next to Markos, said softly to his ear. “The Marković line will try to claim a successor from his blood. We cannot allow another one, it has been too long. Nearly five decades since a member of our h-...” Markos gently gripped his cloak. “Be a quiet boy. You are before the dead. You will be respectful.” He said softly before letting go, his eyes seeming to catch something over on the other side of the room.

“A face I haven't seen in years.” He smirked as he began to walk, slowly catching the attention of a man who stood against a pillar. A man wearing a fine blue suit, crafted from the finest Kath cotton into a beautiful navy military uniformy. “Your grace.” Marko said softly as he bowed before the young man.

“Oh you flatter me, old friend. Don't bow, come shake my hand.” Charles, the Fourth Prince of Talland, Laughed, gently extending his arms as he hugged the older man. “When I say shake I normally mean hug, I haven't seen you in years, how are you Markos, I wish we could have met on better terms.” He said, pulling away, looking over at the cloaked body of the King.

“I do wish as well, but we cannot change the past can we?” Markos said looking at Charles, “What brings you to Kathricore? Even to our capital? Did the late King send you an invitation? Or his estate?”

“No no, I was here for business on behalf of my Cousin, our beloved Empress. But when I arrived I heard the news, it would have been rude for me not to attend, Me and Marković were great friends. I didn't expect him to pass so soon.” Charles said, wiping his nose with a white cloth.

“Ah, I see. Well I am glad to see you here. We all are. An outsider is never given such an opportunity.” Viktor said a set of large oak doors, chiseled with the story of Azens descent to Earth, his black blood forming the Isles of Noxfertem and the life of Kathricore.

From the newly opened doors, four women began to step forward. Two before walked slowly, waving back and forth two brass thuribles, leaking out a cloud of incense into the room as two others falled, wearing silver suits of polished armor, on their backs winged claws on their back, with red feathers shaking as they walked.

As they entered, a lone woman began to walk behind them. She wore the finest clothes, lavender silks, with black psylo pants. “Gentlemen, my Lords, Dukes, and Princes. Please, welcome to the Mother Cathedral.” She smirked as a lord fell to his knees before her. “Oh dearest, Maeve Mother, please bless this day in your honorary presence.” He said, bowing his head.

“Oh Duke Konrad, please rise. You do not need to bow before me, I am merely a servant of our Fabled Mother.” She smiled, gently taking him by the hand. “Please, call me Nava, the title of Mother is so restrictive when we are all here as friends.” She smiled as she turned to the crowd of nobles around her.

“I am pleased to see you all here today in honor of our lat..” As she talked, her eyes seemingly drifted, caught by the figure near Markos. To herself she could be sure, but sighed softly to herself. “I am so sorry gentlemen, I am at a loss for words. Please, take your seats. Sister, Jan, you will handle the ceremony.” She said as she walked away, seemingly disappearing in the crowd before popping out behind Charles “Your highness…~”

Wrong on almost every count. Endorsements are glorious and brilliant, they are not mandated by law, and people definitely care. What is to gain through influence? We become impervious to attack, we are more attractive to potential residents, and we have a unifying objective that we can all strive toward together.

TESDAI (and obviously others) force it on everyone so much, it just feels like a law.

We will not become invincible in a roleplay game if we all give each other commendations that it seems we are forced to give to each other by peer pressure. "OH NO! They all are pressured into giving themselves endorsement! What are we gonna do?" Yeah no. What if they do the same? Are we f*cked? NO! They barely change anything at all and honestly seem pointless.

'We are more attractive to potential residents'

We are what now? "Ah yes, I'm going to join this region because they have so many endorsements, which I will be peer pressured into giving other people." "OMG babe I just found this, like, region with so much endorsements which they (bassically) force other people to give others. OMG I am totes joining."

No. We are not attractive to potential residents because we endorse. I joined because I thought the invite you sent me was the type of roleplay I wanted. I barely looked at the region. Several of my friends play this game and they share similar opinions to mine. Also, if endorsing is so damn great, why doesn't EVERY region enforce it?

An objective which is... being 1st in influence.

'We can all strive toward together', except for the people not in the WA lmao f*ck them right?

Also, aren't some of us anti-WA? You're giving me very mixed vibes here.

'unifying objective', Ah yes, since we finally have been forced to endorse everyone, we now have the best influence in the WA, now we are one? Right? Yeah, 'makes sense'.

Bicala just spent more time complaining about endorsing than it would have taken him to endorse everyoneÂ

As for his statement on nobody caring, I care a lot. You have no idea how happy we get on the Discord when someone endorses. Made my entire day the other day when I broke BBRs endorsement record. IÂ’ve never seen August so proud as when CK hit Extremely High influence just yesterday.

Just because you might think itÂ’s silly and dumb, doesnÂ’t mean we do. IÂ’m actually pretty upset right now after all the work we do that Bicala is in here telling people that it doesnÂ’t matter. How would he feel if I told him his Kahoots donÂ’t matter? I donÂ’t. I encourage them. I think they are good activity for the region. Not only is he wrong from a gameplay perspective, heÂ’s being incredibly rude and thoughtless to all of us that have put in so much work over years to get where we are. 8th for Average Endorsements. In the entire game. Out of 20000+ regions, we are 8th. And he comes in and says none of it matters.

So if you don’t buy into the whole “it makes us more safe” (it does) or “it makes us look better” (it absolutely does), then you could atleast do it to make some of us happy. To make some of us proud of the work we put it. AI is right, it takes like 10 minutes ONE time, then takes a couple seconds maybe once per week. Is it really all the much to ask for someone to do after the years of work into making the region as great as it is today?

French Free Men wrote:Alright you want me to endorse people I will (What in the literal hell is that??,)

While we as Lands End are largely opposed to the General Assembly, the World Assembly has many gameplay effects involving Influence, Endorsements, and Region Security we must acknowledge. Influence is how we keep the region secure and safe from gameplay invasion. Influence is generated twice per day by each nation and endorsement they have received.

The World Assembly also offers us a way to verify that nations are not bypassing our rules of only allowing one nation in the region by locking certain things behind being a Shareholder. Shareholders have many privileges that we do not offer to regular members such as voting for the Board, running for office, and a place on our map and in our roleplay.

To be able to participate even more in our region and to build an impenetrable influence fortress, I ask that you join the World Assembly. It's as simple as going to https://www.nationstates.net/page=un and clicking the "Apply to Join" button at the top of the page.

Once you do that, you can go to nation pages of other WA members in Lands End and endorse them. We encourage you to endorse all of them. You can find them in our WA Members dispatch updated weekly.

Also, please refrain from using the phrase “What he Hell”, while it isn’t caught by NS’ censor, it is most definitely a swear when used that way, and we do not want to attract mod attention and would like to uphold our professional image.

NS is the abbreviation for NationStates, the game we are playing. Region board or RMB or Regional Message Board is the thing we are chatting on right now.

Endorsing is basically when you scroll down to the bottom of a nation page after becoming a WA (world assembly) member.

NS is short for NationStates

The region board is what we are typing on.

Tesdai wrote:Bicala Endorsement good, your wrong, we worked hard for this (simplified)

It took my three minutes to write my argument.

On average, except for the time I spent one hour and thirty minutes endorsing (I don't wanna talk about it), it takes me 6m and 41s for me to finish endorsing. Nothing to do with anything, Just something I found ironic.

Unless you meant everyone, then:

There are 290 nations in Lands End.

If it takes me 6 minutes to endorse 15-ish people, 290 should take me,

It would take me well over an hour if we had conditions and fatigue added to the mix.

Also nothing to do with anything.

I'm not exactly sure what makes you happy about it. It's more or less just you giving them a list with your name on it, and others, and hoping they see it before the next 4-5 business days so they can endorse. It feels like peer pressure. "Everyone else is endorsing, I should do it too."

It's more of an 'In my opinion, it doesn't make sense and I see no point to it', to me, anyways.

You refer to endorsing as a part of all the work you do. From your perspective, it's not that bad or hard. Just run the swap command on discord on someone and write it in a telegram, then swap yourself later. In my opinion, as I said earlier, it feels tedious yet easy.

You're right. Completely correct. My Kahoots don't matter in the slightest bit. That's not sarcasm. When I thought of the idea, I wanted to bring LE a bit closer, then the AA. But there is no point to them other than that.

I'm stopping the Kahoots because there is no reward for making them. A closer AA? Maybe, but the thing is that if I continue, people might get mad at others because they lost. That would pull people apart.

'Wrong from a gameplay perspective'

If regions see we have a lot of influence, I don't see how it would deter our better how persons see our region. Numbers may interest them, as 290 people is a lot. Since it's so popular, it's probably good. However, regional power doesn't really interest many. I'd also like you to go into detail for this.

'rude and thoughtless'

Opinion. If I influence others decision to to also dislike endorsing after stating my opinion, it is not quite my fault.

'years to get where we are'

So LE has been peer pressuring people to endorse by constantly (well, morley every other week) since 2018?

(that doesn't sound good in your context)

'he comes in and says none of it matters'

*clears throat*

I never stated the words of that influence does not matter, I am just saying there isn't much point to peer pressuring persons into endorsing others to gain regional power in my opinion.

'8th for average endorsements'

This suggests that regions normally don't pressure persons to endorse, as when you do, you get an oddly high ranking. With a large amount of nations, it should be a slice of pie getting near 1st.

'"it makes us more safe" (it does) or "it makes us look better" (it absolutely does)'

Instead of saying it just does, tell me how.

I don't buy into the 'more safe' one because having more regional power doesn't mean you can tell the other region to stop fighting or help to ask for more supporters. Having a good reputation with other regions and nations does.

Same for making us look better, just because we have a high status doesn't mean much in this case. Being open and honest does.

'do it to make some of us happy'

Just if you forgot, please explain.

'To make some of us proud of the work we put it'

(controversial; holds mocking that could be said to be rude)

Ah, what a tiresome day of forcing people to endorse others and giving everyone somewhat long lists of people they should endorse.

'AI is right, it takes like 10 minutes ONE time, then takes a couple seconds maybe once per week.'

My one time was 1h and 30m, and now it about 10m. Accurate to that it takes less time, but it still takes time I don't really have to spend.

'Is it really all the much to ask for someone to do after the years of work into making the region as great as it is today?'

Well let's see.

It takes time to do but has nothing for me in it.

It's not fun or enjoyable.

The game mechanics make it feel tedious.

And you used peer pressure to make people do it.

...

Yes.

(extremely sorry if this came off as rude or anything else. this is mainly my opinion and sorry tes.

for uhh... something)

Why are you just... so opposed to endorsing. A little trick is to open every single nation's tab (do this by pressing the mouse wheel) and then just go through all of them. Ctrl + W closes tabs instantly. Therefore you have basically no reason to argue about it.

It makes us safer mainly by preventing raiding. Raiding involves moving a large number of "puppet" nations into a region to seize the delegate position and destroy a region. In order to destroy a region, the delegate has to add a password and banject nations from the region. Doing that costs influence and that cost scales based on the amount of influence the nation you are trying to ban has. Only around 120 of our nations are in the WA and many of those have very little influence. You gain influence through endorsements so everyone endorsing each other makes raiding exponentially more difficult. I hope this helps you understand why endorsing is so important to the safety of a region.

RED WAVE SWEEPS ACROSS TUSSIA

June 10th, 2021

Across the front, the WorkersÂ’ United Front makes massive gains as stalemates across the board are ended. In Albangrad, WUF soldiers and vehicles march and parade through the city as the WUF flag waves on the remains of the city hall. WUF forces make gains long thought impossible as they blitz through the territory of their enemies. A majority of the navy even deserts as sailors mutiny against their captains.

What does this mean for the civil war? As the WUF forces begin to consolidate into one force, the situation looks grim for the Loyalists...

Somewhat of an inappropriate question to ask online, especially on such a public forum board. IÂ’m a good few years older than 14 tho, and was older than that when I started on NS over 4 years ago.

90-ish days.

(that's just how old my nation is don't panic lol)

Reading some French, French is similar to English.

I guess that is reasonable, because if I'm correct, the English language takes a lot of phrases and stuff from other languages, mosty from Europe. And I think it mostly consists of Spanish, French and German.

I'd assume your talking about the back and forth with me, TESDAI and September.

yup

For some reason, it looks like TES's message repeated twice when he said 'please don't' and the same for Hollip's.

No french could influence american dialect just like Spanish does France is a Latin language and doesn't influence standard English or old English.
