West Ladynia nominates our People's Commissar for the Environment, Gastão Brito, for the position of Councillor of Culture. If appointed, we will do our best to continue Sylh Alanor's excellent work, with their advice.
As we are running a candidate for World Assembly Affairs, we will not actively campaign for the position.

I would like to clarify two things here:
1) You can, in fact, run for multiple seats -- but if you win multiple, you must choose which one you hold (ref. RRS 13.d)
2) You (the player) are running for office, you aren't running it through some IC representative of your government. If you want to campaign that way because it's fun, go for it, I just wanted to clarify that for you.

Fine indeed! I tried to change the flag, since I thought the shades and everything looked a bit ugly. I changed it to this purple and black pattern.

Unfortunately as you are not currently a member state you cannot run for a councillor position.

Questions for our WAAplicants:
- Ban Oldern, as the incumbent, what are your plans to further promote engagement during a second term?
- West Ladynia, speaking out of character for clarity's sake, could you elaborate on your listed objectives of reviewing and developing legislation? How will you make these aims accessible to the region's inhabitants?
- Wrongnation, could you offer some details about your plans for the office?

I'm planning to start a weekly or biweekly thing on the discord server in floor 5, wherein I'll do a rundown of my stances on all proposals, both at-vote and in-queue. I also want to make a habit out of making a briefing for each proposal as it's announced, which I'll post here (in form of a dispatch) and on discord.
It might also be worthwhile to create some sort of poll-driven system related to the World Assembly, although I'm not entirely sure yet what that would entail. It could be used to help author WA proposals that advance the interests of Refugia.

Hello friends the hour is upon us, there are very few hours left to declare your candidacy for anything. Also campaigns are cool. I haven't really seen any of those yet. But they could still happen which is pretty legit.

They're only campaigns if they're from a specific region in France. Otherwise they're just sparkling policy suggestions.

Bonjour à tous, cela fait un moment que je ne vous ai pas vu, comment allez-vous ?

Je suis très heureuse d'être avec toi depuis si longtemps, et encore plus heureuse de faire ta connaissance ! Au revoir et à bientôt mes amis !

Howdy folkens, I would like to announce my Candidacy for Councillor of Culture.
If elected, I would pledge to increase social events, such as game nights, movie nights, and combination game/movie days.
I would also work with our Councillor of Foreign Affairs to engage in more events with our embassy regions!
Additionally, if elected, I will prioritize nurturing our RP engagement, and expanding the RP options available for those among us who wish to flex their creative muscles!

It looks good but doesn't make the face-eating slugs seem very scary. I feel like a slug that eats my face off should be at least a little bit scary-looking.

Greetings, fellow members of Refugia. It has been quite recent that the glorious nation of Xarxesi resumed its existence (due to the unemployment of its current supreme leader), and its return to this lovely region is yet more recent. Such song recommendations will not go unnoticed and, might I say, are truly appreciated.
ps.: Cute song, i loved it!

Hello friends the hour of voting is nigh. Unfortunately vote.calref is currently inoperational so we will have to improvise. Fortunately I took Improvising 452 in college so IÂ’m pretty okay at it.

The Dead Rising franchise would like to know your location
[spoiler=more unwanted explaining]I played Dead Rising 2 when I was like 11 and thought it was fun. Went and replayed it recently and still had fun. Also played the first game and the other version of 2 for the first time.
TheyÂ’re dated since they were released from 2006 to 2011 but theyÂ’re incredibly goofy and improvised weaponry is a staple of the franchise.
The first game lets you pick up practically any item in the game and use it as a weapon. And I mean practically anything, you can beat the game in its entirety by beating zombies to death with fish or handbags if you want.
Then the second game has combo weapons where you can magically combine two items together to make stuff like a robot bear with machine guns, a literal lightsaber, or an alien mask that shoots lasers from its eyes.[/spoiler]

This reminds me that the two definitions missile are, to some degree, contrary to each other. One refers to a projectile that is thrown, and the other refers to a projectile that is self-propelled and guided.
Two examples where missiles can qualify for both meanings that I can think of are air-launched missiles, which have initial momentum from the aircraft, and gun-launched guided missiles, which may be launched with propelling charge. But we stretch it further. A RC plane launched by hand can still be qualify for both definitions, especially with the intent to hit something, which aligns with the implied weaponized use.

This is as far as I needed to read. Yes please. With unlimited bacon I could get rich and then lawyer up and get a very narrow definition of what constitutes a video game (think I'm joking? A judge just ruled that tacos and burritos are sandwiches). Best of both worlds, game over.
Technically speaking, a missile is able to be controlled during flight, whereas a rocket is fire and forget. So anything can be a rocket but not a missile.

Well some missile are self guided and u really can't change their trajectory, atleast not directly from the control centre (not the latest ones but the older ones) I think so lemme know if I am wrong

You've defined the difference exactly - missiles are guided, rockets aren't. The source of the control (whether external or internal) is unimportant, it's the control during flight itself that distinguishes the two. Missiles can and do change their trajectory in order to intercept their target (i.e. - heat seeking, radar guided, some even have a wire back to the launch point for controlling the trajectory via remote).

A Million Dreams, The Blue Fire
I see your point, and agree with the sentiment, and would ask if you've ever seen what passed for PG in the 70s? I generally aim for G unless I know my audience and even then I try to be as vague as possible with innuendo. Since you indicated that you would like to know what game I was thinking of, it was Vintage Story, which is currently my favorite video game. I used to teach wilderness survival and I really enjoy that aspect of the game. This is one of several trailers they've released as the game has been updated through the years. It's really worth the watch and it's not long. If anyone here plays please let me know. I have played on public servers for around 4 years now.
