welp, 200 recruitment telegrams, here we go...

Scratch that, I'll just send the full 1,000 and see how that goes.

Britannia1, Westphalia Empire, Newbavarburg

Well, I wake up to see some new arrivals, so that's good. If you're one of the new arrivals, I do suggest you join the discord since there'll be a little event there tomorrow to just say hi, learn more about what's planned, and maybe even play a few games with each other.

Britannia1, Westphalia Empire, Newbavarburg

indeed, perhaps this will help keep it going

Britannia1, Free City Of Rigia, Westphalia Empire, Newbavarburg

Just a reminder to everyone that there is an event slated to begin (I will at least be there) at 3pm Pacific Standard Time. Anyone is free to join the discord through the link in the region's world factbook at the top of the screen; and just a reminder to change your discord nickname in the server to your nation's name.

I hope to see you fellows in a bit!

Community Day Official Stuff Recap

REMINDERS:

- (DISCORD) For newer residence of the region, please do not forget to verify your nation and change your discord nickname to your nation's name. As we get more people in here, I cannot manually verify you and give you the citizen role without your help.

- (DISCORD) In the discord, there is a bot called "Kashima". It can play music for you if you're in a voice chat by typing /play and selecting the query option in the menu that pops up. All you need to do after that is paste in the song url and the bot does the rest. Please do not abuse it.

- (DISCORD) Finally, if there are any concerns or complaints, please post it in the #🚨complaints channel. Only me and Eaux Bleues should see what is posted there, and we will work with you to get the issue resolved.

CURRENT/OLD NEWS:

- (DISCORD) The discord is set up, but there is always room for improvement. Any suggestions will be welcome and I will work on keeping it in tip-top shape.

- There is an active recruitment campaign going on. So far, ~3,000 recruitment telegrams worth of stamps have been used in this effort. Of those, 2/3 have actually been sent to recipients, with 140 persons among those reading them. Currently, there is only a 0.53% success rate for the telegrams. I will be continuing the campaign for at least the next week before potentially altering the recruitment telegram.

FUTURE PLANS:

~Disclaimer that this section is subject to change~

- Personally, I'm hoping that once we get a core of active players in the region, we can attempt to have our first regional elections for the government as Eaux Bleues has set it up. I am personally predicting for us to reach that point in the next two or so weeks if recruitment efforts are successful.

- (DISCORD) On Friday (April 29), I will begin posting debate topics in the #📢debate-hall weekly to try and get that kickstarted. It can range anywhere from silly everyday stuff to serious geopolitical policies. I will remind you to be civil when typing, and try to post a link to your sources if you can. (P.S. If you fellows want, I can also post the topic in the RMB here).

- Finally, I hope to do one of these Community Days 1-2 a month where we can regroup and hang out with each other. I will try to plan these at least a week in advance and have something we as a region can do for fun. It does take place in the Discord, so be sure to join it!

Britannia1 wrote:What is something you can put in your pocket that keeps it empty?

*thinks*

You could remove the pocket. Achieving a truly empty pocket would be quite difficult... impossible in fact. Considering that in order to be a pocket something must be able to hold something, even if that something is empty space. Once it lacks that quality, it can no longer be considered a pocket.

ok, just been stressing in rl.

what about you? It's good to hear from you!

Cannula, Westphalia Empire, Newbavarburg

I hope everyone is doing well! I'm sorry I've not been as active, real life has been getting busy for me, and I've neglected you folks. So here's some information for all of you.

RECRUITMENT STATISTICS

A total of 7,717 telegrams were delivered. Of this total, 608 (7.88% of total) of these were read. Of these readers, only 36 (0.47% of total) were recruited.

According to sources on the site, a normal conversion rate is somewhere in the 1-2% range. Despite this, we still achieved creating a community larger than could be done by word-of-mouth.

So I would like to thank all the newcomers for giving the region a chance, and I hope we do not disappoint.

As some of you saw, there was a poll not too long ago, just testing the waters as to whether or not we want an election now. And now it's time.

WESTPHALIAN ELECTION

The election period will officially begin on Sunday, May 15th.

On Sunday, any potential candidates may begin campaigning in the RMB. Any persons interested in running must telegram Free City of Rigia of their intentions by May 22nd.

On Monday, May 23rd, polls will open with each of the candidates listed.

The poll will close on May 30th, and a winner officially announced and sworn in on May 31st.

Only residents are permitted to vote, and if there are voting irregularities, I will scrap it and begin the process again in another manner.

This Chancellor's term will run from June 1st to October 1st.

Let me know if there are any questions you might have, and I hope everyone has a nice weekend!
