How do you check your popularity ranking? Do you just have to look at the leaderboard??

Yeah I'm not really okay with this kind of data mining about our members' GSM information, which is absolutely none of your concern.

If you're interested in demographics, then you can read the 2022 Refuge Census where all respondants are anonymous, instead of god know whatever you'll do with the information where it's personally identifying.

In an ideal world: I'd go for coffee and a walk with my wife or some friends, maybe go to a market or look in some charity shops at interesting old plates or furniture, and then I would come home and make dinner and watch a Ghibli movie or a documentary together like usual.

In reality: I lie on the floor for a few hours contemplating what to do and then convince myself the day is wasted so I just play games. We do still watch a Ghibli or a documentary though.

That does remind me of way back then when the endorsement gap between the delegate and the second-most endorsed nation was usually between 5-10 nations. Now it's... *checks notes* about 60. How things have grown.

Estebere wrote:It kind of makes me laugh internally that back then it wouldn't take much to begin an accidental revolution

Somebody sent in a bunch of WA nations to endorse the second-most endorsed nation (me at that time) and end Sylh Alanor's delegacy. Or something like that. I don't know why someone did that, but I do remember frantically messaging either Refuge or Sylh Alanor, or perhaps both, saying that I didn't do that and I was sorry.

Here's another reminder for everyone to run for office if you're interested!

We only have one person running for FA, one person for Ops, and one person for WAA at the moment, so one more candidate for either office will initiate an election! One more candidate for Culture will change that election to ranked-choice, which is also very fun!

Plenty of space in the election, just ping Refuge Isle with your announcement.

Refugia lore comes to people in spurts of visions, though it's different for each individual. For the Refugia lore that I have not observed with my own two wretched eyes, I have gone into a cold sweat as I blacked out and woke up with a sudden knowledge of Refugia lore.

The Battle of All Things II | Match D: Matt from Wii Sports vs. Aggressive F-250 Driver

In the third match, we begin to see a disturbing trend of power bottoms! 😳 Does being on the lower side of a match's bracket give these contestants increased speed and alacrity?? It is a mystery that only time will provide answers to. Until then, it was a round with surprisingly little campaigning. So perhaps via its immutable essence alone, the abstract concept of fan-fiction with its timeless and unforgettable cringe, still prevailed over YouTube, 30 to 15.

19 players were rewarded in Dot's economy, to the tune of 5,000 planets, for correctly predicting the outcome of this match. Lycanjeskai receives a Season 2 Testlandia for having made it this far. With that, the combatants for the next round are on their way to the arena right now!

HeLLO GOYS HAWAR U GOYS DOING

Hi guys I’m back

Melenavenia, Tiralta, Jazur

Thank you to everyone who has, and who will vote for Aggressive F-250 Driver.

This fearless combatant has made me fear for my life, and perhaps nearly even killed me, in real life, on several occasions. This three ton behemoth of sheer gas guzzling inefficiency, has plagued our lungs, our roads, and our planet since 1953, and will unfortunately continue to be piloted around for years to come, by crazed and hormone-filled drivers throughout the world. These drivers will continue to kill and maim others and create a massive carbon footprint in their wake. It is for this I believe that it is not only a superior combatant to Matt from Wii Sports, but also a superior combatant to all others who dare to challenge it.

It is with great sorrow that I must say, that Matt will not survive this encounter. Rest in PIECES Matt.

Should we talk about gas guzzlers, we should talk about the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank!

The M1 Abrams MBT has gas mileage of .6 Miles per gallon. However, the abrams has a fuel storage of 504.4 Gallons, so it has an average range of 265 miles, on the road. (93–124 miles Cross Country)

oh boy, that's some serious gas mileage right there
