I was up until 2 something am defending from ANAL and now were joining them. Oh how times change.
Typica, Tiralta, Jazur
You'll need to go to the ANAL faction page in order to join them.
Wait it says that i haven't actually left starlight brigade, I can't because im being targeted
Those volleys from ANAL last night were infiltrators to their faction, those truly with them from the beginning have been defending us the whole time.
Typica, Jazur
Targets will expire after an hour, but hopefully they'll cancel sooner than that. I'm still keeping an eye on Starlight targets and incoming, don't worry!
A finaly i can, thank u for the shields guys
Tiralta
That was a lot of infiltrators, I honestly didnt think of that, I just assumed ANAL had finally taken notice of us lol.
I did notice I got some shield assistance from them while I was out though.
Any idea what faction they were working for?
Tiralta
We think they were Minotaurs.
i am being targeted with 48 nukes
Tiralta
We'll have your back, don't panic!
The Blue Fire
just noticed the number was wrong
i meant 480
they seem to be gone now though, so that's cool
Tiralta, Pantumaca
Who's still alive?
Tiralta
I helped a bit but it seems like there was somebody with 400+ shields watching over you haha
The Blue Fire
Anyone else think KHANs name would be funnier if it was kindly instead of kingly?
Pantumaca
Is it better to launch many rockets to one nation or just many nations but using few rockets?
LET'S GO GANG!!
Y'all are doing such a fantastic job, I'm so proud of you! Final stretch, we got this!
Typica
I have missiles coming to my way
Uf got 33% radiation
Tiralta
Oh, absolutely. "Hello neighbor, please kindly accept this gift... of nukes," Would've fit the theme song better too
Unrelated edit: Let's go shield gang!
We'll have Z-Day this halloween. Nice horse pun?
Typica, Tiralta, Jazur
Agudo Island was unfortunately wiped out in the dawn hours(I had to sleep), so I'm unable to join ANAL. Nevertheless, N-Day was quite fun and I enjoyed helping to knock some Horsemen off their high... you know.
Does NS do any other annual or regular events like this?
Typica, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire
N Day is twice a year (September and February I believe!), Z Day is October (Zombies!), and then I think there's a Global Trade Fair and usually an April Fool's Day minigame too :D
Typica, Liphia, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Agudo Island
Post self-deleted by New Atlantic.
Zombies, eh? Well, Agudo Island has one of the best zombie-killing teams in Refugia! *dials phone* "Juan of the Dead: We kill your loved ones! How can we help you?" https://youtu.be/mhcIBEqczpg?si=If4CCi7nVfhmDCbJ
Tiralta, The Blue Fire
I think we usually cure them in Refugia :D
Typica, Araine, Jazur, The Blue Fire
Theyre just asserting how kind and neighborly they are!
Someone should suggest a name change for next Nday if the faction returns next time, if no one has already. Surely Im not the only one who thought it would be funnier.
Edit: A couple of my puppets that are still alive have nukes, who are we targeting now? I cant join the discord right now for some personal reasons that are hard to explain. It looks like were mostly targeting the potatoes but that could be a bunch of rogue faction members like last night.
Tiralta
I'll TG you!
We've got this, just one hour left! Let's give it our all!
Its over! At long last, its over!
Typica, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Adorus, Pantumaca
I went under the radar on ANAL until somebody decided to target me with 600 nukes in the final stretch. But they must've fallen asleep or something because they never launched lol

Yayyy
Quick request for history world building purposes, if anyone has/had a royal family from their nation, may I add a royal wedding between a monarch from your nation and mine?

Good job everyone working in Starlight Brigade :) I took this N-Day off, but I was extremely proud and impressed by the results. You did great!
Chacapoya, Catiania, Cheesy Tots, Araine, Junitaki-Cho, Liphia, Portmanteau, Aephony, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca
I got quite busy the last few hours of N-Day and missed the results. But I just wanted to say I absolutely had fun with this, it warmed my heart to see how many people banded together and helped each other out, even ones from other factions. I did my best with intercepting and getting revenge on the first punk that nuked me, me and napoleon had some beef, but ultimately I was around 90% radiation and had to put my efficiency on a hold. Which makes no sense, Id say a third arm per person would help with cranking things out, but I digress. Was a thrill, lads. Gg
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Portmanteau, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, The Katicker, The Sllki, Tri Wingaopia, Pight Coon
I am so beyond proud of every member of The Starlight Brigade! Yall did such an amazing job and kept it up the whole event long! Well done each and every one of you!
Catiania, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Araine, Liphia, Portmanteau, Aephony, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca

the fact a one region alliance can make 5th is beyond impressive yall o.O
Chacapoya, Catiania, Typica, Sylh Alanor, Araine, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Agudo Island
And we could've even made 2nd, which would've likely been a record for single region alliances. Helped how some people had hundreds of puppets hidden away. May the next be just as fruitful!
Nice to see the horsemen destroyed again too
Chacapoya, Cheesy Tots, Typica, Araine, Liphia, Portmanteau, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Agudo Island
[spoiler=Post that ended up being way longer than expected]Yeah, the fact that there was zero competition last time and they just teamed up with another faction or two and stomped us from the jump with no chance of ever recovering made it significantly less fun than the one before. Its kind of cathartic to see us do the exact same thing to them this time.
I saw someone on the forums call all the factions targeting them cowards, and cowards usually live longest, when that was literally the exact thing they did last Nday and the time before that if memory serves.
HOTA is not a faction to be trifled with and judging from the three Ndays Ive participated in, the only chance any other faction has to have a shot at winning is to team up, beat HOTA down immediately, and keep kicking them until theres absolutely no way they can even make an attempt to come back.
Im glad they increased the production rate for WA nations but it feels like more needs to be done to truly balance everything. Nday is much more fun when theres something resembling a competition (that you can actually participate in) and I wish having to get all the other large factions together to knock HOTA out of the running for the duration wasnt necessary for someone else to even have a shot at winning.[/spoiler]

Hello Everyone how is everything going?
I was afk for some hours when the results of N-Day came....
So can any one let me know the results???😅

We came 5th, but there's usually a write up and official scoreboard within a couple of days!

I just created the first dispatch for Agudo Island, describing the reconstruction efforts of the nation after N-Day. I'd like to edit it to include specific Refugian countries sending volunteer help, and I'm open to suggestions for possible improvement or clarification.

Great! Maybe we'll be able to hire some new librarians for that place too. Hopefully it would only destroy the library if pressed...
Once this is all over we'll destroy all of Estebere's extra nukes. We do not want another N-Day here. Maybe we'll also check for any other potentially world ending stuff in the library too.
I... what? What were we doing, electing an idiot like that? God, and I thought trump couldn't get worse... I mean I did hear that someone tried to make space lasers, so I guess it's not too weird.
Now that I would like to say. Erebeste(An actually useful one) here I come!

Hello! What happens when you get endorsed? I just saw in my notices that I've been endorsed by 2 people, but I don't know what endorsements do! I know they're good though, so thank you to Araine and The Pacific Northwest for your support! :)
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Araine, Survivors Win, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Silliy, Pantumaca, Agudo Island
Endorsements are used to determine a region's Delegate nation. The nation who has the most endorsements in a region becomes the Delegate, who acts as a region's representative in the World Assembly. You can find out more about endorsements in the NationStates FAQ page: https://www.nationstates.net/page=faq

Besides raising your endorsement stat, it causes your regional influence stat to rise faster. Having more influence is good because its a safeguard against raids should anything catastrophic happen (although the chances of both our governor and appointed successor CTEing are pretty low).
Heres an old dispatch from the endotarting competition we had back in May that explains more:
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1869608
Ive never linked a dispatch before, much less one someone else wrote or one where someone is tagged. I really hope posting this doesnt tag everyone in it, that would be embarrassing.
The Star Enpire, Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Liphia, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca, Agudo Island
@the_pacific_northwest I don't think linking to a dispatch here causes tagging of every nation or region referenced in that dispatch, so it's all good.

Tiralta, Penocampt
...Wait, if there's an alternate version of every nation in Refugia in this alternate world, would that mean every treaty has one too?
Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Pantumaca
The Cinquefoil Dissonance, where all the nations involve agree to fight each other to the death but with only their bare fists.
ATATATATTTATA (A Treaty of Areas Turning All Territorial Aliases To The Terrifyingly Awesome Tok Ári), needs no explanation.
and the Sons of Ares, a group of nations that intervene in literally every other nations affairs for sick kicks
there are more but *shrugs*
More important question is: if the nations are reversed versions, and the alliances are reversed as well, what about the culture? What changes, if anything? Do social norms stay the same (i.e. being respectful and decent) or do they flip wildly? (i.e. being obscene jerks to everyone while nude, shouting at the top of their lungs) Is it just social norms or do peoples at home lives change? Do the laws stay at least similar or do many formerly legal things become illegal and vice versa? And how would people recognize defeat? Would the dead still stay dead, or would they be able to come back to life, and if so, how would one defeat their enemies?
I say all this because it would be really ironic if we went over to the alt-Refugia universe and the conditions were more to our liking than this one, and if that were the case then vice versa would also necessarily apply. If the whole universe is flipped, to what extent and is it livable; if only we are flipped, how does this new Refugi group react with the rest of the world?
And why would it just be us who get flipped? Even ignoring other regions entirely, the nations of the base game would still have to exist canonically because of their appearance in issues we deal with, sometimes on a large scale. Yes, Tiralta, Portmaneau, etc. are all swapped, but what about Bigtopia or Marche Noire? What about Tasmania, Aublic, Althaniq? How do these nations react with the new flipped forms, and do they get flipped themselves? And, if other regions exist canonically, why would those nations not also be flipped? Are we special in some way or is the universe itself the thing changing?
Edit: frickin hell I generalized this too much and now I cant frickin sleep cuz I need to know what a reversed human would look like
Edit: I may have gone a little too far in curiosity with the help of a prismaglyph uhh yeah but Ive always worn the red/gold cloak and the protogen mask btw dont worry about it
Narwhal, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire
If so, I can only imagine what an alternate TTC would be
Jazur
I wow. I think that from the wording of Waywardias original post it would just be nations with the opposite political views, so I dont think other regions or npc nations would see any difference and the laws of physics would stay the same. Then again, this is purely theoretical, so who knows?
*Gasp* What if the way Refugia falls to ash is the alternates invading us because the button and the sign thing is a prophecy that knows were gonna push it so we need the things from everywhere to end their invasion?
Well, I think itd be called WESLREJNAUR(We kept the old naming method), and maybe wed be devoted to bringing aid across Refugia instead of fighting the wars?
Araine, Tiralta, Jazur
Okay, but why would they invade us first, if theres just us but reversed? Surely we would learn of each others existence simultaneously and go to fight at the same time, at which point some people on both sides would go cross-dimensionally, where things could very well be a nudist paradise and they could choose to stay and bring others along, and this dimension might be paradise for our alter-egos, causing modern Refugia to effectively (at least, to observers) go from hard left to hard right in a matter of days.

Howdy and salutations everyone, hope ya'll are having a nice day!
I have updated my factbooks finally to include a deeper look into the Ansgarian Royal Family, forming after the crown union between the House of Rhévec and the House of Rochette to form what is now a united Ansgar. Ofc it will be added to in time but the editing took ages on this one XD.
Eventually I will create an esoteric family of witches and vampires if I get the time because why not. Ansgar needs to be more chaotic for the Halloween vibes.
