Why did my corruption spike when I chose the option on the issue to stay in the world assembly? It's either that, or I leave the WA. It's a lose, lose situation 😰

There are some issues that follow this pattern, but it's by no means a hard-and-fast rule. Specifically, I think some of the early issues wound up sometimes falling into that order. And newer nations tend to be shown earlier issues, it seems to me.

There are some nations out there that were explicitly created to choose only the first answer, and they tend not to be very nice-seeming places.

Corruption and Integrity are oft-puzzling stats, for me. Sometimes they work as you think, other times the opposite. Sometimes, your political freedoms seem to be too high, and when you choose to allow more, it becomes corrupted. Maybe, in your case, your political freedoms are so far on the other extreme that there will be occasional wonkiness in how the system reads corruption into your answers? I can only guess, as I frequently find myself similarly stymied.

Idk, I just do care more about making.. immersive(?) choices than the most bonused ones. I really love reading through all the issues and chosing the answer that best fits my worldview. It's pretty funny

"Communist Sultanate" is a fun concept. Don't think I've seen those two systems mashed together before. Anyway, your flag is so great that I'm sure your citizens will be happy under whatever system they happen to be living.

I would like to eventually know more about this line, though:

I started by saying what I did at the beginning and I ended by saying what would seem the most fair to me. You are giving an example of why decisions should arrive in random order by giving more importance and care to read it before taking it. How someone previously answered is about increasing the difficulty to make it more faithful and truly representative of each player.

The main reason I personally would be against decisions arriving in random order is that it would make stats sites like this more difficult to use if you're hunting for those shiny 1% badges: http://www.mwq.dds.nl/ns/results/

I also find I don't often choose the first answer anyway, so it might just be coincidence that it aligns with your own way of running your nation.

Hey all,

I'm pleased to announce the Endotarting Competition for June. I know these things tend to be a little tight lately, so I'll look to expand the reward pool for the next event, but for now I thought it would be fun to do a competition where the reward was one of the more sought after cards so that everyone could get one. Consequently, for this program, I'm giving away 25 Season 2 Xoriet cards for the top 25 endorsement-givers in Refugia.

Now, or in the future, if you have joined us in our Discord server (https://calref.network/chat/), you may use Dot's tart command (https://dot.calref.network/#tart_command) as well as The North Pacific's Endorse the World (https://forum.thenorthpacific.org/pages/endorse_world/) function to locate any nations you haven't yet endorsed, whichever you find more convenient.

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1720988

If you want to see where you stand as of today, check out the initial leaderboard in the spoiler table below:

Yeah, like Lethodus said, staff said there would be, but there have been significant delays. To add a little bit more, it appears there's a technical hurdle they would like to overcome before releasing the new season. However, it has become apparent that there are critical staff shortages on the tech side of this site, so it's really an open question as to when it will all get resolved, if it does at all. Personally, I am optimistic they will.

BOOK CLUB

Hi folks! This term I'd like to run an informal book club, with two options each month for people to read. At least one of the options each month will be a classic that is freely available to read online and has an audiobook option, to ensure that everyone who wants to take part can do. ^^

In honour of Pride Month, the first choices are by LGBTQ authors.

Rebecca

An unnamed young woman impetuously marries a wealthy widower, before discovering that both he and his household are haunted by the memory of his late first wife. The author, Daphne du Maurier, is widely accepted to have been bisexual. Online libraries have PDF versions of this book that you can read for free.

I hoard them for now so I can keep my 1% International Artwork badge, and junk/sell a bunch of the lowest value ones. Although I'm gonna have to rethink that strategy soon as I'm starting to run out of space quicker than I'd like.

They are a side game, so plenty of people choose to ignore them, but lots of people like to create collections of cards. Collections can consist of valuable cards, rare cards, cards with a certain theme, etc. Having a lot of valuable cards also boosts your international artwork stat. I have a collection of cards that contains every card from nations that were residing in Refugia at the time of the creation of S2, but that is my only collection. Otherwise, I just like to collect valuable cards to boost my international artwork stat!

I look at them sometimes, then when I get tired of them, I either junk or sell them.

I also junk or sell right away most of those who hold no special value to me.

My current nation doesn’t have a card but my old one that I no longer have access to (forgotten password and disabled email) has one from season 1. Last I checked there were only 15 on site. I should try to get my hands on one just because.

Ordinarily, there are ads on the sidebar and occasionally the footer, but yeah I think it's increasingly common for people to have some form of ad-blocker. All my main nations have site supporter either way.

Had to check to make sure but for me it would be airbending.

I think all the bending styles are cool and equal in their own way but I think the philosophy of the Air Nomads is epic. I like the idea of aiming for peace and trying to not worry as much about small things.

So yeah air yey

Typica wrote:Anchovies is best controversy! Change my mind >:v

I see anchovies as more controversial as to whether people like them in the first place, rather than whether they actually belong on a pizza. I've only ever heard people say they don't belong cause they think they taste bad, but even people who like banana might think it's a ridiculous pizza topping.

So basically, yes they belong on pizza but absolutely not my pizza :P
