And yet at the same time I’m in the top 2% for nicest and most compassionate citizens.

So I guess my people are rudely nice? What does that look like?

Maybe they're all lovely but just seen as rude to other places cause they're super direct or indirect in how they speak compared to everywhere else?

I don’t remember much about it other that Jupiter was George and the moon was Larry.

Imagine commenting on Larry’s appearance instead of the moon’s.

If I was a school teacher, this would be in every year's lesson plan.

So, any thoughts about the proposal Repeal "Museums of Musical Heritage"?

Rejakhta wrote:So, any thoughts about the proposal Repeal "Museums of Musical Heritage"?

I believe that they who wrote the proposal have good intent, but wrong execution. The original resolution should not be repealed but revised to add some of the points made in the proposal.

In order to make revisions you've got to do a repeal first, and then a replace.

I didn't know that, do you know why is that? Why shouldn't there be an option to just upgrade/edit the existing resolutions without the need of repealing them first?

Yea I absolutely agree, it could be reevaluated for changes rather than repealing it, Needs some thought for sure.

From the General Assembly Rules:

Proposals cannot amend existing resolutions because the game's coding does not allow for it. To introduce new legislation, the active resolution must be repealed.

Hello CalRef! In light of our impending doom, it is my joy and privilege as Operations Councilor to inform you how we plan to survive the zombie apocalypse. The answer is simple. We will cure the zombies. I understand that it will require that we obtain splash potions of weakness and gold- oh. I have been informed that this is not Minecraft. The actual way we will do it is by firing large missiles at groups of zombies that will splash them with a cure substance that is probably not harmful to sentient life. Probably. We don't know what is it, we just know that it works.

With that said, the Office of Operations is very interested in making sure that we don't have any zombies at the end of the event, so this is your one and only warning that turning into a zombie production factory will result in your temporary removal from Refugia via the usage of the Border Control power. You are of course welcome to come back afterwards, but intentionally messing with the rest of the community isn't a great look, so. Keep that in mind.

More detailed plans will be published when I can actually link to the things that need linking to, but for now, please enjoy your impending doom, brought to you by FlitCola! Sponsor of breakaway nations and paramilitaries the world over, FlitCola™ brings a jolt of flavor to your tastebuds!© Pick up a FlitCola™ today!

Lovoreus Magnus wrote:I didn't know that, do you know why is that? Why shouldn't there be an option to just upgrade/edit the existing resolutions without the need of repealing them first?

If you want the actual answer: The reason is that a General Assembly resolution affects your nation the same way an issue does, with stat adjustments. Those stats are determined by the category the GA resolution was filed in (eg. "Environmental --> Agriculture" boosts "Eco-Friendliness" and "Environmental Beauty" while decreasing "Sector: Agriculture", among others). Since the stat changes are independent of the resolution's actual text, there's no good way to determine how much of the stats should be changed when you edit an existing resolution. Everything would need one or more issue editors to individually look over all proposals, and there's nowhere near the personnel for that.

So the simpler answer is to stick with the category method and have repeals adjust stats in the opposite direction for half of whatever the category originally set.

I'm going to be afk for three large amounts of time during Z-Day. I have a festival thing to go to when it begins, and then a while later I'll have to sleep, and then I have to deal with Halloween festivities for a good amount of Halloween. So, my question is as follows: What the Sushi Rice should I do to keep myself from becoming a zombie production factory?

It's so nice to have you all here! There’s a lot of great information in the welcome telegram you’ve already received, but I have a few things that might help settling into the region easier. Refugia is part of a larger community named Calamity Refuge, or CalRef. We have a discord here: https://calref.network/chat/ and a forum here: https://calref.cc/index.php. Links for both are in the region description box at the top of this page. We host game nights and movie nights from the discord server from time to time. On the forum we have RPs and spam games (not really related to NS). If you want a place to just chill and talk to friendly people, those are great spaces for that.

If you haven't already done so, please consider joining the World Assembly and endorsing the delegate (that's me!). Click the link to learn more information on what that means and how to do it. If you join the World Assembly, you can endorse as many other nations in the region as you want, and get endorsed in return. You'll also become a Refugia Member State, which means you can vote in our elections and get a spot on our map of Refugia!

If you have any questions, please let us know. Everyone here is really friendly, except for one, because everything in life is a roll of the dice. If you prefer to read something pre-written over asking, however, check out this dispatch: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1449847

Finally, if you are an alt nation (which just means if the nation tagged in this welcome message is not your main nation on NationStates), it is required by regional law for you to report your main nation and intentions in Refugia to the Operations Councillor (that's A Million Dreams!) Thanks so much.

I mean, the SCP foundation using Yakko’s World but NationStates and it updates for new nations to hack the psychosphere is nowhere near the weirdest thing they’ve done. An example of this is the entire Admonition series, located in the canon “Site-17 Deepwell Catalogue”. At present moment it is unfinished, but it already showcases the foundation at it’s metaphorical worst, as it brings itself, utilizing what should’ve been their magnum opus, to it’s knees. And there’s also SCP-7006, which is literally just Sites and SCiPs, DND but SCP in three alternate universes.

SCP-7389

Containment Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-7389 is presently kept in a standard item containment locker.

Description: SCP-7389 is a small DVD presumed to have been created on November 13th, 2002. It was discovered in New York City on September 8th, 2016, in the hands of a black market dealer specializing in strange DVDs. An undercover foundation agent residing in New York City had been going to this dealer every three months in case any anomalous DVDs popped up in their possession. Finding a DVD called “Yakko’s NationStates” they bought it, played it, and discovered that, halfway into the song, three more seconds were added to the run time of the song.

Rest of file reserved for Clearance Level five and above.

For the record, I’m no making the rest.

Man I don’t think I’ve seen anyone discuss the SCP universe in years. I’ve never really got into it but I knew people who were. I always admired the size of the community and the dedication of the writers. It’s a huge collaboration writing project and there’s so much lore. I don’t remember too much about it though.

Hm… looking at the conversation beginning about the SCP foundation, I may as well recommend it’s WikiDot to you all. Contained(Heh, contained) within it are thousands of stories, seven thousand(and then some) SCPs, and several SCP universes. I would recommend starting where it all began: SCP-173, The Sculpture. It may be short, but it was also the first. Along with that, I would recommend reading the other classics: SCP-999, The Tickle Monster, SCP-682, The Hard-To-Destroy Reptile, SCP-963, Immorality, more well known as one Dr. Jack Bright, SCP-096, The “Shy Guy”, SCP-106, The Old Man, and whatever number the Plague Doctor is. Along with that, I recommend my personal favorite ‘Canon’, S and C Plastics, which is about a small town where the narrative reins supreme.

It's a whole internet based fictional lore forum based on the fictional SCP foundation which dedicates itself to studying and containing mysterious anomalies. They deal with the most docile ones and the most dangerous ones all in the name of research and containment to protect the public. It's like how the backrooms became a thing; the internet finds a way.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the SCP lore started with the original indie game SCP-007 which involves you descending a progressively anxiety inducing stairwell that has something in there trying to kill you. It didn't get popular until a sole game developer made "SCP: Containment Breach" in 2012 which in turn made SCP lore famous.

I'm currently in the mood to correct you on this, so I may as well do so. I checked the WikiDot, and I think that something about your source for SCP-007 might've been wrong. I don't deny that the game doesn't exist, I think that it can exist, but according to the SCP WikiDot, SCP-007 is known as Abdominal Planet. I checked it, and it definitely isn't the haunted stairwell. I didn't care to check. I'm pretty sure that it all began with SCP-173, The Sculpture, which was created in 2008. Feel free to correct be if I'm wrong.

peepee poopoo farty fart

Oh, I read their multi-part history essay, it definitely started as SCP-173. Back in 2007, someone posted the original containment procedure on 4chan's /x/ board. The creepy tone and mysterious hints to a grander universe captivated peoples' imaginations, so people start writing more containment procedures. Eventually, some of the writers decided to make a wiki to better organize the project, and the rest was history. The video games were made years later, but they did cause the website's popularity to explode. The original game was called SCP-087 actually, and it was based on the containment procedure of the same name.

I've wound up on the SCP website a number of times, usually chasing down the source of some image or reference, and have always been intrigued by the whole thing but never really knew how or where to dip my toe in. So I appreciate the tips. The whole thing has a real fun X-Files / Men in Black / Indiana Jones vibe, all with an open, collaborative element that makes it seem quite unique.

Yeah, but it'll help him heal faster. I have more mana.

Christ. OK, uhh well what we'll do, I'll run in first, gather up all the eggs. We can kinda just, ya know, blast them all down with AOE. Um, I will use Intimidating Shout to kinda scatter 'em, so we don't have to fight a whole bunch of them at once. Uhh, when my Shouts are done, I'll need Anfrony to come in and drop his Shout too, uh so we can keep them scattered and not to fight too many. Um, when his is done, Bas of course will need to run in and do the same thing. We're gonna need Divine Intervention on our mages, uhh so they can AE, uh so we can of course get them down fast, 'cause we're bringing all these guys. I mean, we'll be in trouble if we don't take them down quick. Uhh, I think this is a pretty good plan, we should be able to pull it off this time. Uhh, what do you think Abduhl? Can you give me a number crunch real quick?

Uhhh.. yeah, gimme a sec... I'm coming up with thirty-two point three three uh, repeating of course, percentage, of survival.

Jazur it would be better for you to target inactive players first, since hitting them with a weapon means they can't act for two minutes.

Alright, just got back and it's time to get to work.

This technically needs a RRS 3 notice, but https://www.nationstates.net/nation=the_ussoj was ejected for not playing cure. They're welcome back after Z-Day.

Weirtopia same for you, target inactive players instead of nations who are actively curing. Your missiles prevent them from doing anything for two minutes.

Check their "Last Governmental Activity" line at the bottom of their page, right on top of the National Happenings feed.

Hello, The leader of The Democratic Republic Of Kwangya wants to know if the Zombification in your country is under control, perhaps, if it’s not, we should help each other with great help.

With all our respect,

Alright I slept an excessive amount and missed the first several hours it seems. I’ve returned to a small zombie problem. There are only a few million or so roaming the country and possibly ruining my beautiful forests.

It’s not the zombies’ fault though, they don’t know what they’re doing. Probably. I have begun researching a cure and upon returning to the living each former zombie will be gently reminded to try to avoid getting bitten next time.

Edit: Thanks for the cure missiles, the zombie problem has mostly been taken care of and the undead population is lower than it has been since the start of the event. My forests are now safer.

Refugia now has a negative rate of infection thanks to everyone researching a cure.

Keep up the research everybody! If you haven't started researching a cure, it's not too late. Pop over to your Zombie page and set your nation to researching

https://www.nationstates.net/page=zombie_control

Let's get those cure missiles out if you have them researched!

There’s ZOMBIES now?? As per Refugia Recommendations, and the collective wisdom of West Remeshilian health experts, we have begun funding research for a cure.

I don’t have to do anything to finish my cure research right? It’ll just do it by itself? It was at 50 something when I logged in and selected the research option, then it went up to 70 something and stayed the same for awhile. Now it’s at 88%.

I don’t know if it’s just time doing it or if it’s because other people are curing.

We're also trying to cure the zombies, so you should probably switch to researching a cure.

As a heads up:

Your research will be deactivated in two and a half hours -- 1am PDT

When that happens, you will need to turn it back on at https://www.nationstates.net/page=zombie_control

So I appreciate the tips. The whole thing has a real fun X-Files / Men in Black / Indiana Jones vibe, all with an open, collaborative element that makes it seem quite unique.
Yeah it’s basically just a massive joint creative writing project that’s been around for so long the whole thing has amassed a mountain of lore. At this point there’s basically something for every genre of fiction and the SCPs themselves range from being really helpful to world ending threats, and everything in between.

In the latter part of my high school years there was a fairly large group of students who were very into the SCP universe and I peer reviewed numerous essays and stories on the topic in English and creative writing classes and overheard a lot of conversations.

The ones that stuck with me aren’t part of the main popular group I think, because they weren’t mentioned too often. They’re not world really terrifying world ending threats either, but I found the concepts amusing.

[spoiler]I guess there’s this IKEA that has infinite space inside, and once you’re out of sight of the door it disappears and you never find it again. So many people have become trapped in this IKEA that there are numerous towns full of people living in it, eating the infinite supply of meatballs and building stuff out of the furniture. There are also monsters in it that kindly ask people to leave while trying to kill them if I remember correctly.

Then there was this cake that will clone itself if it goes uneaten for a certain amount of time, and can’t be destroyed by anything other than eating. The only way to stop it from making more of itself is to eat the cake, but even then it reappears later on. I think the clones also do the same, and they found it only after the cakes had been sitting for awhile so they just have a room full of magic cake at the foundation. To contain it they just have some people go and eat all the cakes, but if they weren’t able to continue the cake eating the cakes would continue to multiply exponentially and cause a cake apocalypse, completely burying the world under massive amounts of cake.

Good news to those inside the IKEA! every day, an exit appears! The location is random, but you have a high chance of surviving if you wallhug.
