I can see why you might think that, as clementines are sweeter! Clementines and tangerines are way different. Clementines are kind of off in a different sort of mandarin orange, while tangerines are a type of mandarin orange that you find in those little Dole Mandarin Oranges you get at the store are tangerines!

Update: Okay... I was wrong. Clementines are also mandarins but not the ones you find in those little Dole cups 😅

Whenever I think of Clementines I think of Clementine from the Walking Dead. IÂ’ve been getting into the zombie genre again. Never gets old not matter how oversaturated the zombie genre is.

[spoiler=My Opinion]
I think legalizing the sex industry is wrong. I'm not an expert on the matter, myself being a privileged white male who never had any personal dealings with this so-called "industry." However, I did read about it. Testimonies from women who managed to escape this sordid occupation. (I avoided reading testimonies by males).
To sum it up, it is my opinion that no sane woman (or man) just "freely chooses" to allow random males to invade her body and soul for money, and the "workers" usually resort to it because of circumstances rather than actual free choice. The solution in my humble opinion is education and social assistance to the workers who wish to escape this "industry." Not to legalize it.

On another topic, I won't be participating in N-Day.

Hey just here to tell that I will no longer accept aplications to join the Song Contest organized by CRMEZ. The winner will be announced in a few days in a dispatch I will make. Good luck!

Voting against the resolution for the exact same reason.

Well, this all was interesting enough to make me go and look it up for myself! Who knew that different citrus strains could so capture my interest :P
The mandarin orange appears to be the origin of many of the "orange" citrus fruits you might find in a market in the west. The common orange, itself, is a mandarin–pomelo hybrid. The pomelo appears to be another of those root strains in the citrus family, and is the ancestor of the grapefruit (whose name in many languages is derived from it, being some form of "pompelmoes"). The tangerine is a group of citrus fruit containing hybrids of mandarin orange with some pomelo contribution, whose name is derived from "Tangiers", the city in Morocco. The tangor is a hybrid of the mandarin orange and the common sweet orange. And, finally, the clementine is just one of a number of varieties of tangor.
I have come to the following conclusions: Pamplemousse is a far-better name for the grapefruit. And that terrible orange-flavored powdered drink from my childhood, Tang, has an etymology that goes back to the name of the city of Tangiers.

[spoiler=Response]Disclaimer that I'm also not that knowledgeable about the industry.
But from what I know, I agree that education and social assistance is necessary for people who wish to escape it - but I don't think such measures and legallizing the industry itself (so those who truly want to work in it or are just fine working in it - I think it's a sizable number, although afaik they're a minority of sex-workers indeed, based on me trying to look up stuff quickly - can get government regulations to protect them in a high-risk workplace) are really mutually exclusive.
It may also make it easier for people to get such social help if being a part of the industry isn't a legal crime. So overall, that's why I think the resolution is a good idea in concept, but it just has a lot of major writing flaws and could probably use different focuses and/or supplementary resolutions.[/spoiler]
And it's totally fine not to participate!

Hey everyone, just wanted to throw in one more update about N-Day. We're currently up and running in the Potato Alliance faction server here: https://discord.gg/vMdMVxfAjY
All orders for targeting will be issued within the server to verified people, so make sure you're in there if you're going to be mainly nuking. If you're more interested in shields, you can still join the faction here: https://www.nationstates.net/page=faction/fid=95 and use your shields on anything incoming. If you are primarily gameside and have any questions, feel free to TG me, I will respond as quickly as possible.
N-Day festivities begin in a little over an hour, so if you're at all interested in joining, please do as soon as you are able. Once the event begins, a lot of our leadership is going to be hard-focused on the actual gameplay, so there will only be a couple of us manning the gates to let people in.

Orders are also listed in the faction description!

Sadly can't join the "war effort" due to having only 9 million citizens, but proudly supporting Refugia and the Potato Alliance!

Rejakhta proudly supports the efforts of the Potato Alliance and our native Refugia. Keep it up, everyone!
Typica, Araine, Floofybit, Jazur, Geoffistan, Powesaria
The Lead Councilperson of Waywards Edge would like to support what our friends over at Rejakhta are saying. Our strategic launch and defense zones are currently suffering zero radiation. We can get through this, guys!
Typica, Floofybit
Wow I left for an hour and we went from first place to last. What happened? I thought we had enough shields to stop most of them. Was there just an even bigger barrage than I saw when I was online before?
Powesaria
There was a massive barrage, but we're not out of it yet!
Typica, Floofybit, Ameth, Powesaria
Is it pretty normal for the masses to freak out every time there's a nuke heading their way?
You'd think so from watching, eh? Lol
Floofybit, Erie-Arcadia Of Wombats
The hysteria is pretty ridiculous lol.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit
My only problem so far is actually getting intercepts off. Seems like 90% of the time when I try I get a message saying theyÂ’ve already been destroyed.
I also misclicked and accidentally used all my production on nukes once which was unfortunate.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Jazur
Oof, yeah sorry, that always sucks. You can at least target them next time we have a volley!
If you aren't in the Potato server, TG me and I can send you orders when they're handed down.
Floofybit, Jazur
Welp, I'm at 90 intercepts so far. I had a handful of nukes at the beginning that accomplished nothing, otherwise I'd be well past 100 intercepts.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Jazur
I made some nukes, who are we sending it to?
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Jazur
Target the Horsemen, don't fire yet.
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Jazur
Aight, will do
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Jazur
Theres a Hulldom card being bought for 50 bank right now and I am contemplating to sell it to get hella bank or let it sell so my card increases in value
Typica, Jazur
The market value is the average of the last ten sales, so if it hasn't normally traded at that level, it won't go up in value by that much. It might be better to sell it and buy something else with a more stable value :D
Floofybit, Jazur
NO I PUT IT TOO LOW AND IT MATCHED ON ANOTHER BID
Sylh Alanor
Fire whatever you got ready!
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit
ThereÂ’s a ton of nukes coming at Ameth shield em
Sylh Alanor, Floofybit, Ameth
I've kind of noticed that non puppet nations get shielded over the puppets. I also get the impression that the earlier in the volley you are, the better off you'll be. Definitely appreciate you looking out for me though, this was my first time getting targeted.
Typica, Sylh Alanor, Floofybit
how do i make nukes?
Floofybit
Join a faction and your country will automatically make production, then after a while you can use that production to make nukes
Typica, Floofybit, Jerrytow
my alts shield all, no matter who. Just laziness lol
Floofybit, Ameth
That's pretty much how I'm doing it too. I go by the oldest nukes, I feel that helps the cause the most.
Floofybit
Yeah but targeting is sluggish ngl. happy we have all the alts taking the beating though
(im waywards edge lol just old nation for those wondering)
Floofybit
i just realized i targeted 200 nukes at some poor alt
Floofybit, Ameth, Powesaria
Guess it's their day to die. End 'em rightly!

was too lazy to switch to main lol

cant believe you forgot about Aerthos Shield defense network.
When are firing the volley?
Now

Target was struck by 100 nukes.
Christ, Horseman of the Apocalypse nations are impossible target, I targeted them and within 1 refresh they were already intercepted

Werstonal have been 100% radiate but here a short epilogue of what happening in our beloved nation!
The Union has fallen. People are now evacuating down under, many lives were taken in the midst and no one could know for sure how many years after until upperground can sustain life. As the nation burns, the premier of the Union, Premier Jasawen, has gave out her final message. "The Union has fallen, but its people will never succumb! For we are the Union final and only hope. May the Sora be in your favour," before it was interrupted by an explosion, static ensues next. A few remain stubborn and yet to go under. As they look over the tangerine-coloured sky, as they witness the trails of smokes left by passing jets of foes, and the sound of bombs breaking the air, they look at the Union for one last time before accepting their demise once and for all.
Floofybit, Portmanteau, Tiralta
Do not give up hope, Werstonal friends T-T I believe that you will recover!
Werstonal, Floofybit
very aggresive in their approach, i must say i'm rather impressed.
As they say, though the Union is fallen, the people will never succumb ;)
Floofybit
You're more than welcome to crash in my land, we aren't radiated at all!
Werstonal, Floofybit, Powesaria
me too

I'm extremely happy to say we did amazing work during the N-Day events this year! Refugia was a large part of Potato Alliance, with 29 Refugi self-reporting within the server. The only groups larger than us were 10000 Islands and The South Pacific, both of which are much larger than we are, and independent people who came on their own to be part of the group. Ultimately, Potato Alliance finished third after being one of the biggest players in the event. We attacked Horsemen of the Apocalypse early, dragged both them and ourselves into the negative, and then crawled back, only to be pushed down a few more times before coming back in the end.
I'm also proud to see Araine and Amiyoka recognised and awarded for being extremely helpful and productive during the event, especially early on when things were chaotic and needed traction. All the Refugi in attendance were helpful and diligent, and everyone worked hard, but I think it's worthwhile to highlight those two!
If you are coming down after a long 24 hours (or however long you put into the event), you've earned rest. Catch up on some sleep, have some food, relax for today. You've 100% earned it. I'm so happy to have gone through the event with all of you.
