Oh no, no, no. You can't declare a sour fruit the best. Tangerines have been in Refugia for a while now, ready to fight anti-tangerines offenders in a peaceful manner, and the lemon party was fine, but this is too far. Stand down, or face orange juice in your papercuts!

I kindly disagree with your opinion, Floofybit, although admittedly tangerines are juicy and sweet. It does not come close to the sweetness and creaminess that you would get from biting into a succulent mango chilled to your liking. It does not have any extra white bits you have to pick off like the tangerine, and it simply serves as an awesome snack. Bananas are also a good choice, but unfortunately they are quite inconsistent and some can be very starchy, making for a not so thorough experience. I hereby stand my ground with the Mango party, if there even is one here.

Mangoes are delicious! I think they are an extremely underrated fruit but unfortunately, where I'm from, can be expensive. I only say tangerines just because they are sweeter, and are very tasty in juices and smoothies

Portmanteau, Tiralta, Amiyoka

My genuine favourite fruits are strawberries and mango, but I do usually have a banana most days just cause they go so well with porridge or peanut butter toast.

Chacapoya, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Floofybit, Portmanteau, Rupika, Powesaria

I’m still on team pineapple but other favorites include mangoes and peaches. As for tangerine, I believe I’ve only had clementines and as such feel I cannot personally vouch for them.

FLOOFYBIT'S OFFICIAL STANCE ON FRUIT

Friend

Mango: They are an extremely underrated and delicious fruit that I love to consume. I wish I could have them more often but many times they can unfortunately come off as hard to eat.

Neutral

Lemons: While I do not generally favour lemons, they can be good in juice and a decent tart-er? Is that the word? Making

something tart? Anyways, they aren't great on their own.

Bananas: A decent fruit, but can be bland and weirdly textured. However, they come off as friendly!

Pineapple: Pineapples are an extremely tasty tropical fruit but I wish they didn't hurt my mouth so much to eat

Blackberries: They are good but can be sour sometimes. However, they are like a better version of the raspberry!

Raspberries: They are tasty but are one of the only fruits that can be overly sweet. It's a decent pink fruit though, possibly second to grapefruit.

Cantaloupe: Watermelons are way better imo and cantaloupes can be hard sometimes. However, they have a decent taste, and you come off as nice!

Foe

Grapes: Came out fairly hostile and are inconsistent in good tasting and bad tasting, usually sorry

Missed any? Let me know! And as always

ALL HAIL THE TANGERINE

My stance on the fruits:

Friend:

Tangerine: Very sweet and juicy, no bitter aftertaste, and extremely easy to peel, along with what you said.

Neutral:

Banana: Can be extremely delicious if the right type and right ripeness (I prefer semi soft with a couple black spots.) But it is a gamble whenever I pick up a banana, I could either melt away or have a mouth full of tasteless strachiness.

Grape: Also depends on the variety, some grapes are very sweet and juicy, but those come at a way higher price than most commonly found on the market. I would have put this in friend but the sourness of some types weigh it down considerably.

Cantaloupe: Sweet, semi juicy, overall a decent fruit, but can be quite hard at times.

Foe:

Raspberries: I haven’t had too good of an experience with raspberries, they always tasted super sour and hairy.

Blackberries: Same thing as raspberries, but a little bit sweeter than usual.

Pinneaple: Good taste, too weird of a mouth feel.

Lemons: Sour, don’t use it a lot in cooking so by the offchance I drink lemonade I’d never consume it.

Some I’d like your opinion on: Kiwi and Dragonfruit

The fruit opinions of the country of Estebere:

Friend:

Kiwi: They may be sour, but they are quite delicious.

Mango: Altogether an amazing fruit, great in baked goods.

Neutral:

Banana: I believe that bananas can be good, but are definitely hit-or-miss.

Raspberries: They are sometimes tasty, but most of the time they are sour.

Pineapple: Quite tasty, slightly sour, but definitely a good fruit.

Blueberry: Can sometimes be sour, best when sweet, and easy to eat.

Watermelon: While they are perfect in the Summer, I have an irrational fear of eating the seeds.

Strawberry: Can be sweet, mostly mild, easy to eat, and a staple of baking.

Foe:

Orange: I find these far too sour, and I haven't found many tasty uses in cooking.

Lemon: Good when used for cooking or baking, but alone they are far to sour.

What is your stance on: Tomatoes(Yes, these are fruits), Durians, Apples

Edit: I support the Apple pear

Floofybit, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Tidelia

Aephony's stance on fruit

Main: Blackberries

Friend:

Pomegranates: They usually taste pretty bland but with honey... Stunning.

Raspberry: All things that end with 'berry' are stellar, but those are specifically favored to me.

Cantaloupe and all the watery melons that aren't watermelons: I eat them for fun and fasting!

Mango: I commonly eat them, I love them!

Lemons: You have no idea how much I just want to devour bare lemons, just lemons, period. You also have no idea how much my teeth regret it 😀

Neutral

Tangerines, oranges, mandarin etc. : I can't say I hate them

Watermelons: Decent 👍

Foe:

Bananas: It's only good when drinkable.

Grapes: They are just bad and a threat for Aephony.

Tomatoes: I have traumatic experiences with these, I don't find how a soul likes this, probably my least favorite food.

Green kiwis have that similar effect as pineapple that is rough on the tongue. Yellow kiwis, on the other hand, are softer, tastier, juicier, and do not hurt my tongue. Overall, it is a very good fruit! Probably a B+.

I'm not a dragon fruit fan... They always are bitter to me, even when ripe.

Strawberries are decent, and would probably be neutral. They go good with almost anything, and while they aren't anything special, they are almost always delightful!

Oranges are foes. They are a harder peel, worse tasting ripoff of tangerines. I don't care who came first, oranges will never stand high enough to the best orange citrus (and best fruit).

Tomatoes. I personally dislike ketchup, but tomatoes on their own? Delicious! They may not have the average fruit type, but they are still tasty a juicy. Higher on the neutral list.

Durians? Is it bad to say that... I've never had one?

Apples? Foe!!! Apples are even creatures that are tooth hazards, brown faster than you can finish them, taste bland, and are extremely overrated. Not even the juice is good! Even doctors fear them!

Oh, and Estebere supports the Apple pear.

Floofybit, Tidelia

A very hefty proposal here, this one Deposit Insurance Fund. Thread here!

The proposal enacts an entity called the Deposit Insurance Fund which aims to insure bank systems across WA member states. Any institution which has a checking/demand account system is required to join the Fund; all other depository institutions are encouraged to do so. The resolution’s basic mandates regarding Funds and depository institutions (IDIs) insured through it are as follows:[list]

[*]IDIs must pay the Fund money (premiums) in proportion to the amount and risk of deposits insured by the Fund.

[*]IDIs which declare bankruptcy or are otherwise lacking capital to maintain functions shall be resolved (i.e. have its debt somehow dealt with) by the Fund. The Fund shall also determine insurance limits (how much money can be insured per account) for every deposit based on data relevant for each member-state.

[*]Four separate ways are established for the Fund to help resolve an IDI from debt.

[*]If the Fund closes an IDI, it is required to reimburse depositors.

[*]The Fund shall collect financial and legal information to help with its task in determining risk-assessments.

[*]The Fund can create regulations solely related to its mandate.

[*]The Fund shall help deposit insurance programs in member-nations to meet its mandates.[/list]

So I’ll be honest - I’m having a hard time understanding the specifics of this resolution, so I can’t really comment on whether specific phrases are really detrimental or not. Financial stuff isn’t my strong suit… even with the background guide the author posted in the forum thread (right below the first post). :P

What I can say is that in concept, I think the resolution works. It essentially establishes a regulatory body that both insures and regulates all banking systems on an international scale. This will keep the international bank system stronger against things that can traditionally really cause massive economic destruction - as it insures depositors' money and thus will cause less panic during times of economic distress. (If people know their money is insured, they're less likely to rush to take their money bank in an economic fight; therefore, banks can utilize the money as they always have to complete matters necessary for their business, rather than having to give back so much money at a single time that they end up going bankrupt and thus causing massive economic downturn.) It's also just good to have people's life-savings within bank accounts to be insured in accordance with a basic standard, so if something happens then people don't loose all their savings.

So I’m leaning for it, but I want to hear what y’all think. Any thoughts on this?

Tidelia's stance on fruits:

Friend

Blueberries- Absolutely one of my favorites. I can eat so many of these things

Grapes- Same as blueberries. They're just too good and too easy to eat

Nectarine- Delicious, scrumptious, etc.

Strawberries- Don't have them too often, but I'm always very happy when I do

Orange- Really good, but the peel can be annoying. Very delicious though

Neutral

Pear- I like them a lot, but I'm fructose intolerant so I have to push through a bit to eat them. Worth it?

Apple- Same reason as pears but worse

Lemon- Lemonade is one of my favorite drinks, but lemons on their own are just meh

Watermelon- Kinda hit or miss for me. Sometimes I really like them and eat a lot, but sometimes they really act up with the fructose content and I can't eat too many

Honeydew- Pretty good. That's all

Tomato- This almost slips into foe, because I hate tomatoes on their own. However, I love ketchup and really like tomatoes on sandwiches and burgers. Stays in neutral only because it's a great addition to other foods

Foe

Banana- Absolute worst for my fructose intolerance. Gives me super bad heartburn and chest pain. Truly my foe

Tiralta's stance on fruit

Friend

Strawberry - delightful in colour and taste, plus they're really common here in summer and I get to go strawberry picking sometimes.

Mango - expensive here but delicious, it makes me sad that my ancestors were unaware of this fruit.

Pear - an underappreciated fruit, but a delicious one nonetheless.

Neutral

Banana - it goes better with peanut butter toast than the friendly fruits, but that isn't enough to make it a friend.

Clementine - they're nice, but opening them can be tricky.

Blueberries, grapes, raspberries and blackberries - not consistent enough to be friends, but the good ones are indeed great.

Foe

Apples - I am mildly allergic to some species.

Floofybit, Portmanteau

Rejakhta's stance on fruit

Friend:

Apples - They're extremely common here, plus Granny Smith (green) apples are delicious.

Bananas - They just taste good. No specific reason.

Grapes - Color doesn't matter to me, they both taste equally delicious.

Blackberries - Jam itself is good, but I like them raw.

Pomegranate - Favorite fruit, hands down. So delicious, just hard to open.

Neutral:

Pears - They taste like apples to me, so I tend not to eat them as much.

Blueberries - Not as good as blackberries in my opinion, but still good.

Foe:

Mango: I'm deathly allergic to it.

Friend

Raspberry: It's sweet, juicy, and it's pink! What is there to hate! Plus, it tastes really nice with mint and other cooler flavors, which is something that a lot of other fruit can't hold a torch to.

Tangerine: If I'm going to be straightforward and honest, I don't know the difference between tangerine, clementine, and oranges. But, for the sake of the fierce arguments for tangerines, I'll just say tangerine. They're sweet, and have a nice texture, I love the feel of them!

Dragonfruit: I haven't had one of these in so long, but they're so, so pretty. And while they don't have the sweet taste a lot of other fruits show off, I feel like that makes them unique. I also like grapefruit for this same reason, but only when I have sugar on it.

Neutral

Like St. Leone said, I'm neutral on most other fruits. Pears are alright, but they make my mouth feel dry, and they bruise very easily. I'm also neutral on grapes, mostly because I ate them a lot as a kid, so they're nostalgic for me. I also like lemon flavored stuff, but lemons themselves are out of the picture for me. Too sour.

Foe

Apples: I've never liked them at all. They're hard to bite into, and they have too many idioms associated with them that I hate memorizing. Also, why are there so many different kinds? They're all apples, some just taste worse than others.

Banana: Again, too many metaphors! What is up with all of the fruit metaphors?! Save them for the actually good fruits. Also, the texture is weird and chunky. I also don't like banana flavored stuff, so that ruins them too.

Friend

Mango: They are an extremely underrated and delicious fruit that I love to consume. I wish I could have them more often but many times they can unfortunately come off as hard to eat.

Neutral

Lemons: While I do not generally favour lemons, they can be good in juice and a decent tart-er? Is that the word? Making

something tart? Anyways, they aren't great on their own.

Bananas: A decent fruit, but can be bland and weirdly textured. However, they come off as friendly!

Pineapple: Pineapples are an extremely tasty tropical fruit but I wish they didn't hurt my mouth so much to eat

Blackberries: They are good but can be sour sometimes. However, they are like a better version of the raspberry!

Raspberries: They are tasty but are one of the only fruits that can be overly sweet. It's a decent pink fruit though, possibly second to grapefruit.

Cantaloupe: Watermelons are way better imo and cantaloupes can be hard sometimes. However, they have a decent taste, and you come off as nice!

Foe

Grapes: Came out fairly hostile and are inconsistent in good tasting and bad tasting, usually sorry

Missed any? Let me know! And as always

ALL HAIL THE TANGERINE

Don't cross the line, Floofybit. Sweet fruit? Really? A Nation of your talents? Grapes are far superior, because they are small and easy to digest. They are also filled with water so and have 1.4 fiber and 288mg of potassium. You have alot of grapes, as opposed to maybe one or two tangerines. Your threats fall on deaf ears. Rejakhta can you modify a railgun to fire grapes?

The Grape is far far superior.

Tangerine is too sweet.

A Declaration On Oranges, Tangerines, And Clementines

Orange citrus fruits are quite delicious, able to be a delicious pocket snack full of juicy, sweet segments, or a multitextured refreshing juice, but which one is the best? Well, for starters, we can go by taste. Oranges, like other citrus fruits have a mix of sweet and sour. However, they have a bitter aftertaste, and are unfortunately the most sour of the three. Clementines, on the other hand are sweet and refreshing. These are very similar to tangerines, also being sweet and refreshing so... Which one is better? Well, clementines are sweeter, but too much of anything can be in some cases, bad. So tangerines cover a good moderation with the best of both worlds. Well, what about peels? Oranges are rather hard to peel, but are easy to transport because the are hard to rip and squish due to their protection. On the other hand, clementines have a very easy to peel peel, but they are easy to rip and break and get squished upon transport. Tangerines are the best of both worlds. They have easy to peel peels but can withstand possible squishing and tearing.

In conclusion, oranges such, clementines are better and...

If we are going by nutrition facts...

Tangerine has twice the fiber of grapes, 32% less sugar, 0.1g more protein (I know, so much!), 734% more Vitamin C, 10 times the vitamin A, and 270% more calcium. Beat that!

Let's move onto Protein, shall we?

Copper: "220% more, in favor of grapes"

First of all, 53% is completely inaccurate. It's 4%. Second of all, more saturated fat isn't necessarily a good thing. Third of all, name a dish other than wine (alcohol isn't good for you) or grape juice that is made with grapes. I can name plenty for tangerines.

Tangerine and grapes contain similar amounts of Vitamin E - tangerine has 0.2mg of Vitamin E per 100 grams and grape has 0.19mg of Vitamin E.

This isn't 9% for grapes.

The representative from Waywards Edge brings a strong defense to the table. Grapes do make wine, and wine is the Fruit of Life. On top of that, citrus fruits are among the most difficult fruits with which to make alcohol. Although the concept of "citrus wine" does exist, it seems that few ever bother to make up.

I do not think the humble grape can be so easily shunted aside, and must be reckoned with as an equal among fruits. Also, they're delicious.

As someone who has had chocolate covered grapes before, I don’t agree, the chocolate shell is harder than the grapes flesh, it makes for a very inconsistent texture. You’re better off with strawberries or even bananas.

Sure, what should we move on to then? Wait, you tell me that wine is bad for you, but chocolate is okay? Red wine in moderation, can help reduce the risk of heart attacks.
