Region: Lands End
Good evening, Land's End. How is everyone tonight? Any good plans for Labor Day weekend?
In true spirit of the holiday I will be working.
Unike, Souria El Uzma, Sharlin, Neon Alliance
Same for me, for most of the weekend.
Unike, Sharlin, Neon Alliance
Good morning and no. However it is a good day in Unikean history.
Unike why are you a commie? Why do you have a communist flag? COMMIE CRUSADES 2 ELECTRIC BOGALOO ACTIVATE.
Congrats to [nation=short+noflag]TESDAI[/nation] for reaching 50 endorsements!
Unike, Ewonkoni, Sharlin, Shady Sands, Neon Alliance
Why not communism is perfect?! Don't fight the glorious revolution.
OOC: Eh It is a way to get more activity on the RMB although the latest poll has done great.
Tulov is spreading...
Unike, Sharlin
Hello fellow members of Lands End. I have just recently relocated to your region. I'm excited to meet everyone and to be a part of a greater nation.
Regards,
The Nilasian Republic
Unike, Bonnie Blue Republic, Sharlin, Shady Sands
Greetings. Welcome to Land's End. Feel free to ask any questions.
Nilas, Riko Republic
Just curious. Does government type (ex; dictatorship) affect any stats? I've never seen a state with high political freedom + dictatorship. So wondering if this weird thing is possible
Nilas
What do you mean by government type?
The thing we choose in "settings"
Kingdom of
Dictatorship of
Republic of...
I do not think it does. If you answer your issues similarly to how your government type would, then yes, it would affect it.
Just guessing.
Nilas, Sharlin
Technically it is referred to as a Government Classification, but to answer your question, no. It doesn't affect anything about your nation except the name.
Bonnie Blue Republic, Torranta, Sharlin
I was typing a response myself...
But you got it better than I could have.
Nilas, Torranta
Thank you! :) love this board people are so fast!
Nilas, Torranta
Thankyou for having me
Unike, Sharlin
El gusto es mío.
Is that proper Spanish?
You're trying to say "The pleasure is mine," I think.
But I'm not sure that's good Spanish...
Although I might be wrong. I'm not a native speaker or anything.
Neither am I. I'm pretty sure that's correct, though. It might not be in proper context.
"Regional Power: High"
Woo! Congratulations on being the second (ex-AA) region to hit this mark. The Cape should get there later this week.

That was quick

Hello I'm Spre Pands, I'm new to this region
Nilas, Sharlin, New Europea
Greetings. Glad to meet your aquantaince.
By the way, I noticed the discussion on a regional currency in Ridgefield, and was wondering what progress we have made on our economy system.
[nation=short]Capitalist piggys[/nation]
I think we should try to make one currency for the whole region
r u guys going to vote yes or no on the commend august bill in the world assembly?
August, Unike
Unike, Bonnie Blue Republic, Torranta, Sharlin
It seems as though the majority of Land's End's participating nations voted for commending August. The few nations who voted against commendation probably think August is a pine-cone excreted from a rubber mongoose's eye (I would personally take that as a compliment, but that's just me).
Please don't double post.
Sharlin
[quote=torranta;27075666]August is a pine-cone excreted from a rubber mongoose's eye/quote]I am completely baffled at how quickly people found out. I thought I had everyone fooled.
(That is... oddly specific.)
Sharlin
hey what do u think of my new "flag"

Oh, I notice everything about you, August. Hoping one day you'll notice me in return.
*swoons*

Awesome
Torranta
I am against any regional currency. Currency is bound to jobs, the citizens having jobs have freedom, therefore the currency is freedom. Only an elected parliament has to have the currency in its hands. No technocrats unelected.
Nilas, Unike
That's how I felt when I first started. After I got more involved, though, the six hours started almost to seem too short.
Hello all.
I am very glad to be in this part of the world that values capitalism, low taxes, free market economy and freedom.
Nilas, Torranta, Sharlin, Shady Sands
Greetings. Glad to meet your aquaintance. Feel free to ask any questions.
In other business, I have come across a profound idea. And since Land's End claims to promote the sharing of ideas, I thought it appropriate to share it with you.
What if we had a volunteer Storyteller? Someone just to post a short yarn on the rmb every day or two? It would help get ideas flowing in this region, a goal I have been hoping to accomplish.
OR Maybe we could have an ol' fashioned yarn-telling competition instead? Nations send in their best yarn to be reviewed and voted on, sort of like Augustinvision but with stories. I'd be glad to coordinate and organize it if you fellow nations agree.
Unike, New Europea
Greetings! I would gladly agree and participate.
Okay wow, a lot of things happened over the weekend while I was gone, I'll try to answer them as best as I can. I'll answer any telegrams after school when I can focus on who sent me what.
Currently on hold last I heard, [nation=shortnoflag]Nosotalio[/nation]?
I would have to agree, but that's why I voted for. (shrug)
Ahahaha, (Looking at my quote here, not yours.) there was a time I thought six hours was too short? That's cute. I've had to switch to 48 hours in between issues now and still can't keep up with them.(Also where in the world did you find that post? I don't remember making that post...)
Also, 202 nations!? I have a lot of telegramming to do...
I've been reading through the entire rmb (on page 61 right now) and I couldn't help but quote on that one. It was pretty early on.
By the way, any takers on my yarn-telling competition idea? (Scroll up if you're confused)
Oh my, that's a lot of RMB posts to sift through... have fun?
Nilas
Post self-deleted by Metal Cybersnake.
Yeah. It's pretty fun, especially in the communist revolution and great pie war parts. I also found out where that pen meme you keep bringing up came from! Too bad I missed it. The moment that I saw my first post was a bit surreal.
"Join the Communist Anarchy Revolution (CAR), comrade!
*throws pie at Capitalist Piggys (pen flavored).
Haha, actually I don't think it's real origins are on the RMB. It came from when August was posting some stock images on the AA discord and he handed me a box of shame for referring to them as "memes" and so stealing the pens, hiding his stapler, as well as stealing his fake office plant was my retaliation.
That's brutal. How do you live with yourself knowing that you committed such a heinous crime? Also, nearly every nation that I considered to be a time-honored, dignified nation acted so clueless and almost annoying when they first showed up. It's weird seeing them in a different light.
(shrug) I sleep pretty well at night, just before I fall asleep I am comforted by August's fake office plant on my bedside table. (It's a really cute plant)
Bonnie Blue Republic
the lands end stapler will be your new moniker
It was a a restless night in the Torranta household. Torranta was tossing and turning, swearing- I mean sweating in his sleep. "No...mnh... ga....ugh....NO NOT MY PENS!".........Stop him!" Torranta wakes up with a start, drenched in sweat. After catching his breath and gatherings himself, he starts rocking back and forth in fetal position. "Cap isn't real, Cap isn't real, Cap isn't real."
Sharlin
But...Cap is real )^:

Regarding the current GA proposal https://www.nationstates.net/page=ga "Freedom of Religion" I suggest voting AGAINST.
Nothing in this proposal is concrete and everything as optional for a nation, wasting space in the World Assembly and wasting our time asking for a vote on something that in theory changes nothing. It seems that someone was just trying to get a passed resolution by using a good sounding title rather than actually making a good proposal.
Bonnie Blue Republic, Torranta
9/4/2017, 12:00:11 AM EDT: Spre Pands voted against the World Assembly Resolution "Commend August".[/spoiler]
Nilas, Unike, Bonnie Blue Republic, Sharlin
Oh... Oh my. That is something else. (Congratulations on that by the way.)

Greetings from your CTO, Torranta! I have recieved permission to organize a story-telling competition!
I am organizing a creative competition among nations to help get ideas flowing in this region. The competition? Who can tell the best yarn! The process is still currently in the works, but if you have any questions, please direct them to me. Thank you
I've been here longer than most of the rest of the region...
I can also safely say that I pretty much avoided early awkwardness by not being active at all.
I joined the region on page 11 of the RMB, 168 days ago (I'm dating that by TESDAI's first post [Although that might've been as Old Soldiers, my first nation. BBR was created and in-region withing a day of that, though]. We joined within minutes of each other).
My first RMB post wasn't until page 29 of the RMB, 126 days ago, the day after I joined the AA Discord.
I was a lurker and did nothing in NS but answer issues for more than a month before I began to get involved.
Xentai, Torranta
I have officially read all 95 pages of the rmb. Boy, are there stories to tell. A few things:
1. It was pretty rad reading the beginning with the formation of or government. I wish I could have been there.
2. We were..........Communist?
3. Whatever happened to that assassins game? It seemed like fun. Can we start that up again?
4. Wow, this rmb became a lot cooler once I arrived.
5. I should write a narrative based off the combined ideas of The Communist Revolution, The Great Pie War, and the Anarchist Movement.
Mercantana, Nilas, Unike, Coruloma, Sharlin
2. Yes. Dark times indeed.
3. That would be great! I think everyone enjoyed that, but we only played one or two rounds.
4. Pffffft.
5. Please do! We actually have no recorded history, only our memories. Non-statistical records are an area where we have always been lacking.

Welcome, we are happy to have new nations in this wonderful and growing region.
Greetings. Happy to help in any way I can.
Nilas
Assassins was fun.
Speaking of which, I'd be up for running a game if anyone's interested.
In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and start working on such a thing.
Nilas, Torranta
Totally agree. Also sparked an idea that I think we had at one point. Yo [nation=short+noflag]Mercantana[/nation], have we dropped the idea for those interviews or whatever? Or was that a dream of some sorts?
Nilas, Unike, Torranta
Apparently my exile into the catacombs of the rmb have had positive effects.
I love the ideas everyone is having. Keep it coming!
By the way, I am still working on both the story-telling competition and the history of war in Land's End. Feel free to send me any questions you have.
Nilas
I would like to announce that I am now working on organizing a game of Assassins.
The rules are here:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=799021
Telegram or Discord message me if you're interested in playing.
Nilas, Torranta
Sounds great. Still working on that story-telling competition, by the way. What I'm thinking is I will either have a few judges to score each story, or I myself will judge them. I would like to have more than one judge so it's not just my decision who wins, but since this region tends to have a lack of volunteerism, I think I might not bother asking to save time (o precious time). If there are multiple judges, I will probably score based on points, and if I am the sole judge, I will integrate a process of elimination, sort of like a tournament. Feel free to ask questions. Really excited about this, as well as the Assassins game and the Land's End Historia I will write for the region sometime. This historia will include the Communist Revolution, the Great Pie War, The Anarchist Movement, and other such events in the history of Land's End ( it won't be completely about the rmb wars). This resurgence of old and new ideas in this region is amazing.
Nilas
Hi everyone just joined.
As far as the regional currency is concerned, I think that having a non-required one would be nice for those who want it. As the poll comes to a close, I hope that a currency can possibly be devoped for us to share unrelated to regional law?
Bonnie Blue Republic, Imperial Des Djohosery
I'm new to the whole region thing... can the leader of the region enact something like this without popular poll result or how does it work?
Nilas, Bonnie Blue Republic
It is completely down to roleplaying. Technically the only one who can change the name of a nation's currency is the nation's founder. If a region develops a currency it essentially just means that all the member nations change their currencies to have the same name.
Oh okay, thank you.
Hello from me, the president of Rysian, to my fellow nations.
The only interesting thing about our nation is our currency, hugs!
Hope you enjoy having my nation's company!
Sharlin, Imperial Des Djohosery, Clarkentrent
Greetings from Torranta! I am happy to see you in this great region, and invigorated to know that I am already rich in your nation's currency (ready to lend, too).
On more official business, I have made a dispatch for Ambassadors in training. If you are thinking about being an ambassador, feel free to check it out! If you have already made up your mind and want to be an ambassador, send me a telegram with reasons why you think you should be an ambassador. If you disagree with something on this dispatch, I am open to suggestions.
Sharlin
Just joined. I hope our nations prosper.
Nilas, Bonnie Blue Republic, Sharlin, Shady Sands, Central European Workers, Imperial Des Djohosery
Welcome m'fellow nation. Enjoy your time here in Lands End.
Welcome.
Nilas
I'd be willing to judge the Storytelling comp if you need me to. I'd also suggest looking at History [LE]. I've been slowly adding new events and updating it. Might add in those RMBs actually, would like some input from the region before doing so though.
This was at one point in the works but as temporarily put on hold I think.
Great to see how hard you are working on your job.
Welcome to Lands End!
Nilas, Torranta, Sharlin
Does the time between each issue increase each time?
I'm pretty sure from my experince
Nilas
How high does the time get?
Nilas
I haven't really looked and I'm sorry I couldn't give you any information further from what I know
Nilas
That's fine :)
ok lol well I tried
It does increase each time when you first start, but eventually it levels out at 6 hours.
Nilas
Thank you very much
You can toggle it to 6, 12, 24, 48 in settings, by the way.
Hi,
From the nation of Clarkentrent, I am a new member of this region and I look forward to interacting with all of you and enjoying this game.
Nilas, Torranta, Sharlin, Shady Sands, Central European Workers
Greetings from Torranta! Happy to meet you.
1. I'm not rock solid on the plans yet. If I need you, I will make sure to tell you (I probably will).
2. Good work on the History, by the way. I think putting in the rmb's is a great idea. A factual reference would be nice. A narrative version might be nice, too (written by me?).
3. Thanks.
Nilas, Confederation Of Tesdai, Imperial Des Djohosery, Clarkentrent
