Hey Everyone. Just to clear things up, Ill still be active but I wont be able to do my job as CTO, and that is why I stepped down. Ill remain in my current position until elections, which then will be handed over to Yahwehs. Im still alive if that makes you better Peacockastan. ;)

Hello and welcome everyone!
Vistryara, Beyo, Free Republic Of Verdania, Vayamolaq
Wasn't that whole elections thing just a big old WHOOPSIE until April rolls around
Buryasia
We may have started them a little earlier than expected, but all that means is that people have even more time to declare candidacy, so it works out in the end. And yes elections will be on April 1st. (As far as I'm aware.)
CORRECTION: Elections are TODAY, not April 1st. My bad.
DOUBLE CORRECTION: Election might NOT be today...
Buryasia, Yawehs Chosen Peoples, Beyo, Los Cayos
Wait, when you say elections are today, are you saying we vote today? Because that can't be right. In elections past, we've had several days, possibly a week, of nations declaring candidacy, with several RMB posts about who is a candidate, before votes are cast.
Additionally, the elections bylaw, which I was asked to write to provide clarity, and which underwent several rounds of edits, states:
"Voting is to be a seven-day period preceded by at least seven days notice on the RMB. All Shareholder nations are eligible to vote; they will receive a ballot via telegram at the beginning of the voting period."
Edit: To be clear, I totally endorse Peacockastan and all board members who are running to continue their positions-- but I don't endorse elections starting today.
Peacockastan, Beyo
This is exactly what I was thinking, this is just what I was told, however, there might be some sort of miscommunication here.
Vayamolaq
Okay, the message from the board to all Lands End shareholders is, elections begin Tuesday and all shareholders should expect to receive a ballot by TG.
Peacockastan
im rather sure i sent an application for shareholder but i never got a telegram back so idk
I'm sorry, but we don't seem to have you in our records. If you could, please send Grater Tovakia the following application.

As well as quoting the same person multiple times.
Peacockastan, International Settlements
anyways im back from the dead. what happened when i was gone?
Buryasia
howdy, just joined and you're the only group that actually supported my values. what good?
Buryasia
If we ever create artificial intelligence that is sapient, should it have the same rights as an organic person?
Legoa, Iwagoto
Yes since their as intelligent as we are.
Mythel, Legoa
glad to see you are back with the RMB conversation starters!
I would say no, as theoretically we would never teach them to comprehend the idea of AI rights
Beyo
I'm back from the limbo-like state I was in after a fool misused a UHaul trailer to detach the cable drop from my house, leaving me without internet on what I had planned to be a soccer-watching and nationstates-playing weekend. Anyway, welcome to the new people, glad you're back International Settlements, and no I don't think sentient technology should have the same rights but I do think it/they/whatever-you-call-it should have some well defined rights. Not exactly sure what those rights should be; maybe after such a lifeform shows itself we can better determine what rights it should have.
Beyo
No. They are not humans, and if truly sapient, are able to be much better than us. Better to enslave them, rather than risk rebellion and revolts.
Beyo
Yes, for they would have free will and should be treated as equals
Mythel
Blux plans to step down as WA delegate, for starters.
Side note: Blux, I'm sad to see you go, but seeing as we're in similar life-boats, I understand 100%
Dont worry folks, Im still active gameside.
Well, that's good. I hope to see you back in the discord eventually, we had a lot of good times in there.
Confic
Agreed. I hope to be there soon.
Peacockastan
so your solution to avoid A.I. rebellion and revolts, is to give them a reason to rebel and revolt? should we also eat all our food raw to avoid disease and parasites as well?
Buryasia, Confic
hi
Hello!
Confic
yeet
Try to make posts with a little more content. This is getting kinda spammy.
Iwagoto, Confic
sorry im feeling weird
Not going to lie but temple of doom was not very good in my opinion
*the were all good but temple of doom was not the best*
Confic
yo i got a new flag off of wikipedia.
I like it
I liked the ending, but I would say Crystal Skull is the worst.

Hello everybody
Confic
hello there. how is your day going?
Quite well thank you
Confic
I have to say that while Raider of the Lost Ark was a fantastic film, it was not my favorite. The Last Crusade was without a doubt my favorite Indiana Jones movie. I just liked the movie better. Don't know why, I guess it's just personal preference. Temple of Doom was definitely not my favorite. It was a good movie and all but it definitely wasn't better than the others. Also, Crystal Skull was unnecessary and not that good.
Confic
i liked all of the indiana jones movies. i liked crystal skull mainly because i grew up with it.
The last crusade was great for so many reasons, all of Indianas freinds came together which made it a great ending.

I ACCIDENTALLY MADE IT SO SKATEBOARDS WERE THE ONLY LEGAL FORM OF TRANSPORTATION
Mythel, Free Southern Republics, Deims Kir, The Furry Island
I feel I should ask how that is possible, but I once accidentally made sex illegal so I know full well how that can happen.
Confic
let this be a lesson, read your options. and remember dismissal is always an option.
THIS WAS A MISTAKE!!!
Confic
whats a puppet storage?
It's a place where you store puppets
seriously?
Yes
i thought it would be something else. are you joking or something?
No I'm actually serious.
No...I myself used to have a puppet storage.Look for names such as puppet store.
It is a place where nations you own can be stored for later use.
If you already have a nation in LE or an AA region you are not permitted to put a puppet in LE or an AA region.
If you have nowhere to store them feel free to use my puppet storage region Davis Monthan Air Force Base
Buryasia
thanks!
I just read over the WA clone thing. I have a vague opinion on it. could someone give me their more specific opinions on it in case I might be missing something?
In my opinion, the proposal overall takes the right to legislate on the matters of cloning and clone rights, as discussed in the proposal, away from member states.
Buryasia, Yawehs Chosen Peoples
using that logic, I shouldn't vote for anything that isn't a repeal, and if everyone were to follow that policy then there wouldn't really be any point in the WA at all.
Buryasia, Peacockastan
That's because there isn't...
;)
Also, that policy is actually how I vote on General Assembly proposals most of the time.
Bonnie Blue Republic, Buryasia, Free Southern Republics
well, does anyone have an opinion on this specific topic that goes beyond the whole WA being pointless? I intend to vote more on the idea of how clones should be treated than whether it's worth even voting.
Post self-deleted by The Furry Island.
I think clones should be treated like people because they are people just a version of a person and if they decide to kill the person who created them they should get arrested like a normal person cause they are that person did that make sense?
Mythel, Legoa
welp. i went from a conservative democracy, to a free market paradise, to a conservative democracy.
oh nice! 5th place in agriguclture!

Has anybody ever written and had approved an Issue for nationstates? I wrote one because I was bored last night, and while I'm not expecting it to be accepted, does anybody know the 'acceptance rate', what they look for, how often they read submissions, who reads them, or anything like that?
Buryasia, Legoa, Peacockastan, Beyo, Free Republic Of Verdania
Hoi
The people who accept the issues are called "Issue Editors" You can tell that someone is an issue editor because they have a little badge on their nation page, kinda like the WA badge. These Issue Editors accept issues and they are the people who choose how much an issue will affect your stats and how. I also know that if you want to write an issue, then there is an issue writing forum where you can create a thread and then let people and issue editors put in input to help get your issue accepted.
Chimchar
Yes, also there is a server dedicated to writing issues as well. I visited it when I had discord, but left it in the great server purge.
Peacockastan
Welp, I accidentally switched from capitalism to socialism. Any clues on how to switch back?
Big Black Ants, Adamgama
Issues to convert your economy back to capitalism come within a week, promise.
Adamgama, Janman, Voivodato Di Uyutta
Lol, it happened to me too

A great many options to remove it again. Happened to me as well.
Janman
In regards to the poll, I would also consider a specialty school if my child had made clear he/she wanted a certain Job and that school was the best option towards obtaining it.
Vistryara
Personally, I've been playing for more than two years & I've never had the desire to look at the issues spoilers. Some day I probably will, but for now I'm having fun trying to figure it out on my own. I think I'm doing a fairly decent job of it, as my big 3 stats are all pretty high. My nation is more-or-less running as I want it to.
And I plan to do as good a job as possible at CLO for the next three months, so shareholders please give me your votes when you receive your ballots from Blux.
edit: Also, I did it! My nation has LE's largest cheese-exporting sector. USA! USA! ... I mean, BA! BA!

Random question: Does LE have a furry party? and on a related note: is a furry party a political bloc or some kind of rave/cosplay-type-activity?
