Region: Lands End
Gay is only a word per sé, and I don't see anything to make the word gay in a state of tabù.
If I can say my thought, for me is useless. We can just write "fa**ot" or something else, or be subtle if someone wants to insult a gay.
Also stop using the word in a negative contest totally unrelated to a person it's not bad. Sure, it 's not a finesse, but its not something to warn someone.
A gay/lesbian/idk triggering only for a word correlated loosely in a contest totally stranger to them it's not a very mature person, so not a pepole very desiderable in a good region like this.
And the "everyone welcome, no one hurted" it's not a great policy. The principles are great, but in a pratical level it dosen't work.
Anyone can be insulted by anything, so we shouldn't say any word.
For example, if an italian is offended by a meme about Italy, which is something possible; we shouldn't talk about italian memes for the eventuality of this happening?
Sure, if someone is insulted it's surely bad, but should be common sense to dictate to stop if someone is offended, not a rule.
To finish this wall of text (lol), I just want to say if someone is insulted by my comments, just PM me, and we can resolve this peacefully.
Ah, also good day.

I haven't said anything before because I really didn't care, but if you want the opinion of someone from the LGBT community, I can tell you the only thing I don't wanna see is people arguing for several days about the ethics and moral implications of the phrase "lol gay". It's not that serious, give it a rest for the love of Christ.

This discussion has been dealt with already, as the user that was warned has already acknowledged this and apologized. I am not going to continue it any further.
However: We (The Augustin Alliance, which is LE and its allies) strive to be the beacon of excellence within NationStates and provide an excellent example to our embassy regions and others. If you have a problem with being mature and following a simple rule, you are welcome to leave. My patience is running thin.
South-Central Rhodesia, Emiline
You're patience is running thin with who and why? Are we not allowed to discuss decisions and policies? And if that's case why? I am very curious. PM if you dont want to discuss it on the board.
Voivodato Di Uyutta
I have a slight inclination that people need to get used to nationstates as they flocked from a more 'jOyoUs' side of the internet (which I already know of). I'd really like some maturity to return, yes, people can banter, but content matters. Don't forget that this is used for conversation between the states and if I might say, typically related states humor or silly politics talk points.
South-Central Rhodesia, Voivodato Di Uyutta
I do apologize for this behavior and will reframe for doing so in the future.
Deims Kir
Ain't mad or anything, just my thoughts on what transpired and not directed at you.
New Slovakastan also explained everything, it's a matter of appearances to attract and hold players as well as alliance cohesion in case a more political happy-person sees it and decides to make a fuss. Generally, he didn't mean individual people with his last message but the conversation as he addressed everything before. Besides that, general rules apply, similar to most normal forums that you can image if you've been a while alive.

Hello everyone, new as well.

Welcome to Lands End.

A very warm welcome! :) don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have.

Holy Hannah! I leave just for one day and society broke down?
I really am impressed. :)

Also controversial opinion: Showering at night is better than showering in the morning. Fight me.
Legoa, South-Central Rhodesia, Deims Kir, Voivodato Di Uyutta, Acceptance Is Just Madness, Senjougohara, Neu Deutschlandia, Jewvanya, Money Hill
I leave for two days, and I see 70 notifications from Lands End. Nice lol. Guess I'll be playing catch up.
Money Hill
Really... never knew. So is it like you're still clean in the morning or is it like showering makes you sleepier? Cuz I really don't understand.
Both is actually good, at night your body is forming a bit of a salt crust from your sweat. Getting that off is kind of nice. Just water without anything else in the morning is fine if you shower twice daily.
And showering in the evening is good to get rid of the daily dirt you're accumulating and flaky skin.
Money Hill
It calms me, personally.
Money Hill
I like how my nation is classified as an anarchy despite having laws such as compulsory organ harvesting, conscription, and mandatory under-the-skin ID chip.
I love this game.

Lovely to have you with us! :) feel free to ask any questions you might have.
You might want to take a look at my policies, you'd like what you'll see there. *nudge nudge wink wink*

On the subject of moralizing about other people's word choice ...
Has anyone ever seen the "Gee, I Wish I Were a Man ..." WWI Propaganda?
If not, you can see it here:
http://behindthescenes.nyhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/1_Christy_Gee-I-Wish-I-Were-A-Man.jpg
100 years ago, this was just the government using sex to sell their war.
But I look at it today, and I believe the propaganda asserts that:
1 - Females are inferior.
2 - If you don't join the Navy, you are less masculine, therefore more feminine, therefore bad.
My point: find a way to make your point without insulting an entire group of people that you weren't even trying to talk about. It might not matter now, but 100 years from now people might look at what you said and find fault with the assumptions underlying your communication. They might think you were, you know, some kind of gross barbaric misogynistic idiot, or something along those lines.
One final point: When I was CLO the most difficult decisions to make were how to promote a healthy discussion on the RMB and when to step in or draw a line. I feel New Slovakastan did a good job of asking someone to kindly avoid something in the future without really drawing a line. Other nations, instead of goading New Slovak into drawing a line, in the future should just follow reasonable advice from the CLO about how to communicate better.

How can I be ambassador, any openings.
The Democracy Of Red Star
Hey, CTO here.
Have you applied to be a shareholder? Thats the first step, and then I would have to talk with the board and the rest of the Foreign Affairs office.
The Democracy Of Red Star, Freedmonia
Post self-deleted by The Democracy Of Red Star.
Can there be more than one ambassador? Or would he be the discord ambassador?
Freedmonia
So whats the application for being a shareholder.
hi
Is there limit to how many endorsements you want the Imperium to have? We are not on the board or a shareholder.
My fellow region members, please do your part in following the goal of our founder/WA delegate and endorse everyone on the list. We did our part, its time to do yours.
New Slovakastan
CLO? Im COO, baby.
Nope, if you so happen to pass the WA Delegate, then you become delegate. Simple as that.

I have endorsed everyone I can in Lands End. If I somehow skipped over you let me know. Please Endorse me back. Thank you.

Oh god, the list of endorsing nation.
Hey hey people, I'm new here. Hope I won't feel out of place again, lol
The Federation Of Spokane, South-Central Rhodesia, Voivodato Di Uyutta
Welcome! I hope that you will have a nice time here.
The Federation Of Spokane
hello , your friendly shareholder here,
despite having little power in the region i would like to remind you all that following the telegram fromBonnie Blue Republic lots of people have been going around endorsing our peers, and i think that i can speak collectively for all of us who have been endorsing our fellow lands end members that we would like it if you could show some goodwill and endorse us back , this isnt an angry or annoyed message it is a friendly request ,
thanks

Does anyone know how war works, and what reason do you have for it.
Are there many responsibilities for a shareholder?
Voivodato Di Uyutta
There is Raiding/Defending and simply roleplay wars. R/D is pretty big in NationStates. (These guys are notorious raiders -> The Black Hawks). There isnt anything to really gain from roleplay wars
So Ive been accepted to be a shareholder, now what?
Senjougohara
wait for the next election and either run for office or vote for a rep , there are other things you can do with shareholder status which can be found on the lands end information centre under government and shareholder status.

I looked it up and it seems no one is 100% sure, but the most common theory is that you get it by getting your Ideological Radicality above 40. Yours is at 33.96 right now, but it was at 40.73 recently, so the banner might have been granted to you then.
Official Post from the COO
Hello everybody, I hope everyone has remained safe and sound during these trying times. I have a question for everyone, and anyone may answer through the RMB or via telegram. I am looking for someone with any floor planning skills (interior developing) to be our Building Manager and finally make Lands End a true business to behold! I will give more details to the people that show interest in the position.

Building floors is not only a hobby of many Voorjaarians, but a staple tenant of our most popular religion going around right now. It would be a most sacred honor to even be considered for such a position.
The Federation Of Spokane
The Federation of Spokane endorses this, and would be honored to have New Voorjaar join the administration.
Legoa, Voivodato Di Uyutta
Double Post but its important I swear
Official Post
I would like to give a whole hearted welcome to our new news service, Nationstates Today!
On another note, I would like to welcome Hooseira Magna to the Lands End Foreign Affairs Office as our Coordinator between other regions in the AA and the JTF.
These three people in my office are some of the hardest working people in the region, and Im honored to work with them every single day. I wouldnt be surprised if any of the three of them end up becoming officers of the board here in the future, and I cant wait to see what they do in the future.
May our region forever prosper, and may our enemies always bow at our feet.

Hello, bois.
Why we have a poll about showers?
ah midnight , the time when nations scurry to post on the RMB.
Showers are serious business.

Hello what is a better name for German England?

Deutsche Hibernia, Deutsche is German for Germany and Hibernia was the name that the Romans gave to the British Isles

To anybody interested in the Building Manager position:
I totally didnt expect this many nations with interest, give me a few days to respond to everybody.
Trust me we all want in on the governembt
Okay, I see that all of you are interested in business. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Vaas, and I am a proud CEO of a company that I have built from the ground up, by myself. Let me tell you something. Ever since I was a child, I always wanted to be the CEO of my own company. But, I'm sure you don't want me to go on and on about myself, because we are all here to do business. So with that out of the way, if any of you are interested in my company's products or, better yet, would like to invest in my company, please send me a telegram. I am looking forward to doing business with all of you.
Buryasia
Is this real life or made up?
Yes, it's unbelievable, isn't it? It's unbelievable that the world doesn't tolerate people like us. We are providing quality products to people that not only want, but need them. What if your neighbor needs help defending his home from looters, or maybe he needs to take a prescription of methamphetamine in order to treat a medical condition. He wouldn't be able to do those two things, because people are too scared to truly embrace the market and are too clingy to the government to go outside of what is supposedly "illegal".
So what products do you sell?
Hello. I am new here. Never played the game but did play a similar game back around 2003. I look forward to working on learning this game with you all.
South-Central Rhodesia, Voivodato Di Uyutta
Hello and greetings from the Gadsen Republic. I look forward to our prosperous union.
South-Central Rhodesia, The Great Imperium Of Humanity
I am glad you asked. Currently, we are very deep in arms manufacturing, trailing behind that industry is drugs and slaves. We also have a warehouse full of pirated media. If those are not your choice of product, we do have a wide variety of others that are more "legal" in most nations. On top of this, they are also sold at a very cheap price thanks to our pool of free labor.
Acceptance Is Just Madness
You're legal in my country as long you pay your taxes. Literally being the case here.
Deims Kir, Slaver Pirates Of Vaas
Tfw you can't understand if that CEO is real or it's just RP, lol
Deims Kir, Voivodato Di Uyutta
Its roleplay.
Voivodato Di Uyutta, Arkvice
Our nation is new but our building practices rival even the most seasoned. Please take your time, we recognize that this is not a simple choice. Perhaps a vote?
Hello fellow nations!
I am new here and would need a bit of help
I'm pretty new as well, but I could probably help. What do you need help with?
New Voorjaar Why does your name in Dutch literally mean for years.
How do this work?
How does this work? How do I get involved in diplomacy and also how do I get endorsements?
And economy
Yeah. How do we navigate our economy and military status world wide?
Karuk
If you want to get diplomatic, try talking to the higher ups about it. They know more about that type of stuff. For endorsements, you first need to become a WA member
How do i bekomme a wa remember?
You only change your economy by doing the issues (I'm pretty sure). You can look at your economy by clicking on your nation's page and then looking for it underneath your civil rights, economy, and political freedom boxes.
Thx
Go to the WA page underneath where it says Lands End on the left. At the top it should say "Become a member" or something along those lines
I did thx
No problem :)
Our people recognize that everything is in a temporary state at all times, our name is a reflection of our realistic perceived existence. Hello.
New Slovakastan, Hooseria Magna
How do i trade
Hey guys do like my flag?
Deims Kir, Senjougohara, Jewvanya
i don't believe you can trade unless it is in nation artwork cards
Sad gasmask noises
How do I endorse people?
Once you become a WA member, wait a little bit and then you can go to nations' pages, scroll down, and it should say endorse
If you are in the world assembly, then you can endorse nations by going to the bottom of their nation page and clicking the button that says "endorse nation", like mine would say "Endorse Deims Kir".
Senjougohara, Jewvanya

COO here,
- There is no actual legitimate trading (excluding the trading cards iirc), but you are more than welcome to initiate roleplay trading, wars, etc.
- Endorsements are gained via other nations that choose to endorse you (kind of self explanatory), and both the endorser and the endorsed must be in the World Assembly. Many regions have endorsement caps to keep a certain World Assembly Delegate in power. We do not. If you so happen to pass our WAD (World Assembly Delegate) then congratulations, youre the new Delegate. It also increases our regional power.
Deims Kir
Thank you
If you search the forums, there should be roleplays for you to join.
The party will endure ;)(
