Post self-deleted by Thingessness.
Hello folks! I've had this idea for a while, and so I've put together a card collection exchanging treaty for Member States. If anyone is interested, please let me know!

This is a neat idea, thanks. It'd be helpful to have a resource to help folks easily discover know who is collecting what. Certainly easier than just trying to remember, lol
[sub]Edit: Hm, interesting bug when quoting the name. Don't know how that came to pass...[/sub]

Thanks Port! I'm not sure what happened, but it notified me so who knows :P

I went to the pride parade in my city today, and it ended up hitting 101 degrees LOL (38 degrees celsius) Great fun, but oh my god I am tired

I live in Texas and went around my neighborhood to cycle for only 20 minutes and the moment I went back to my house I was feeling queasy as hell

That sounded like fun!! There's a pride parade in my city next Saturday and I'm going with my girlfriend :D

Aha, That sounds cool, though I'm not really sure if i understand all that rules in the treaty
Also I can register myself right?
Chacapoya, Typica, Tiralta
Yeah!
I've simplified it a lot so hopefully it makes more sense, but basically, it's a list to keep track of who is collecting what in Refugia, and an agreement that we'll try and send each other cards to help each other out.
Araine, Szalyland, Thingessness
This is a great idea! I'm not bothered about signing up since I don't have a particular collection in mind, but I'll definitely check in from time to time and send relevant cards to anyone who wants them.

Would you consider “I love you like a younger sibling” an insult?
Araine, Everetunga-Hari, Pterosaur Supremacy
Yesnt
Pterosaur Supremacy
Only if the person was younger than me. If they were older than me, depending on how we got on, I might wonder why they specified "younger", but I don't think I'd definitely consider it insulting.
Aw thanks! If you have anything you're trying to collect at the moment I can add it in. :D
Jazur, Pterosaur Supremacy
Fair enough
Yeah, that makes sense. I specify the younger part because I feel like a younger sibling is slightly more annoying, although I do feel like the younger part is slightly unnecessary, looking back on it. *Sigh* dinner thoughtsÂ

Apologies for the lack of a WA recommendation, I have been working on making a new website and RP post but the heat of the day makes it nigh impossible to be productive or work at a reasonable pace.

Аha, alright thank u tiralta, I mean the treaty was already simple and the point is there, it was just me reading them badly
Ou also congratulation Narwhal for the councillor position, maybe im kinda late for the congratulation lol
Typica, Narwhal, Araine, Everetunga-Hari, Tiralta, Thingessness
Probably not, but it depends on the context.
Tiralta
Viamay, Istillia, Yupsi, Furraria ejected via RRS 2(c); Kanajoorartuut ejected and barred via RRS 2(c) after returning from previously being ejected under the same.
Chacapoya, Narwhal, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Everetunga-Hari, Tiralta, Jazur
What is RRS 2 (c) ?
Aephony
The RRS is the Refugia Revised Statutes, linked at the top of the page. It's the laws that govern Refugia. 2 is its second statute, and (c) is a subsection of that statute.
Chacapoya, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Aephony, Tiralta, North Evous Belerle
Thank you :)
Typica, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Aephony, Tiralta, Jazur
Hm… yeah, fair enough. I was thinking of it as “Younger siblings are annoying,” which they are(No offense intended if you are a younger sibling, but my sister is).
A bit belated, but congratulations Narwhal! I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job :)
Typica, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia
Oh. I was thinking of someone being a younger sibling being like someone you equally would get up to shenanigans with and feel protective responsibility towards. I would definitely have said my siblings were annoying when I was a teenager (I'm oldest of 3) but now I'm ancient and I just think they're literally the coolest people I know.
Typica, Araine, Jazur
Heya all, thanks for all your votes on the recent Ops Councillor election. With 31 votes casted, it sure shows that democracy is important for all of us, even though this is not our regular election cycle. I'll be sure to make the best of my time as Ops Councillor towards the region security!
P.S the flags on the ops office dispatch is.. wacky. i'll fix it soon

Message from the Emissary from XKI
Greetings to the wonderful Nations of Refugia, I have an office back in my home region of XKI that I use for my Senate Position, however I have been thinking about how I can make my life easier and at the same time make your life easier with connecting with me and so I have decided to open that office to you as well as my region.
I do ask that you send a Telegram here on NationStates rather than via the forum, make my life easier and its quicker to respond to.
So ignore anything to do with the Senate but please utilise it to raise points with me about how you want the regions to work closer together

I was not expecting my professor to advertise her Christian book on the last day of regular class.

Oh my gosh. I had this unbearable English teacher for 3 years in high school. He had a really weird half fetishistic, half sinophobic obsession with China. Pretty heavily anti-communist, too. Every single class he would mention something about China, either them being "weird" or something just blatantly wrong that fit his whole narrative.
The only reason I mention this is is because he's a published author. He has 2 books, but he would talk about the first one all of the time and would constantly hound students to read it. It was this book about a girl living in China during the Maoist revolution. I never read it, but by god did he try to plug it as often as he could.

I'm interested in collecting opinions about the upcoming General Assembly vote on Repeal: Ban on Forced Bloodsports.
Notably, the target is written by one of our own, Honeydewistania. It looks like a somewhat haphazard repeal and replace, but the replacement is pretty underdeveloped, so it seems poorly timed at best. As yet, I have not done a deep dive of the texts, so let me know what you guys think

Delta Vega Iv, Jazur, Pterosaur Supremacy
Undercooked replacement aside, I'm miffed by the whole opportunistic flipflopping displayed by the repeal's primary author. Given that the original instarepeal decried blood sport regulations as an idea, but has now turned into "concern" over ineffective mandates makes me very skeptical of the intent of the repeal as a whole.

Does anyone have strong thoughts on the current General Assembly vote (Repeal Ban on Forced Blood Sports)? I think it's a flimsy repeal and I'm not aware of a satisfactory replacement in the works, so am inclined to vote against, but the original resolution wasn't thorough in itself so I'm torn. I'd likely vote for a repeal were it accurate in identifying what I believe are the problems with the original resolution. That said, given the repeal's weak argument, I don't trust that any replacement put forward would be satisfactory and a flawed ban on blood sports is better than none.

So what is everyoneÂ’s thought on the current SC resolution at vote?
I can see where the author is coming from, and whilst I understand their viewpoint, I think this boils down to yet another conflict between the two flavours of defenderism, given OsirisÂ’ and Grey WardensÂ’ involvement (Osiris being involved in the occupation and Grey Wardens seeking to liberate it); and this conflict is starting to get annoying for everyone but the two parties involved, as it clogs up the SC with bickering and proxy wars, preventing the SC to use its time on more important matters and conflicts. Thus I find myself voting against this resolution.
Delta Vega Iv, Poquaoi, Everetunga-Hari, Jazur, Thingessness
It's practically a policy vote Against from me, because at this point it feels as though every single raider operation is met with a SC Liberation, and most of the time I either find that the region was barely active, or is better off with most of its natives ejected. This case is the former, so I'm a bit more sympathetic, but it's overall just clogging up the SC as you said. I also know some raiders prefer their work be marked by Liberations than left to stagnate, but as the SC thread says (repeatedly.), the resolution doesn't actually mention the raiders involved. That's kinda lame, so yeah, Against for fun purposes.
Delta Vega Iv, Uwuguaya, Thingessness
Hello from Foreigna everyone
Tovenia, Everetunga-Hari, Jazur, Crabani, Irimara, Thingessness, Silliy
Hi!
I don't mind voting for Liberations, they're a big part of r/d and they don't really come across to me as a factional politics thing. I generally prefer when they're for regions that are more established, but I guess every region starts somewhere!
Jazur, Uwuguaya, Thingessness
Hey there!
Uwuguaya
I do agree that SC discourse on military gameplay is getting rather tiresome. That said, it is a bit unfair to the natives of Yessss, even if they may seem new and barely active, to have their region invaded and potentially destroyed, and then deny them a chance at liberation because of petty SC politics. In the interests of defending innocent natives, I support the liberation.
