Honestly, it depends on the season / drink
Hot cocoa at night / when it's cold, cold cocoa when it's warm
Plain milk shouldn't be hot
Some teas shouldn't be cold

Hey everyone, you've probably been pinged in the dispatch (everyone was pinged on the dispatch), but here's a more formal announcement that we're entering GREEN WEEK. If you're determined to tl;dr the dispatch, here's what you need to know:
[list][*]Raise your Environmental Beauty through answering issues!
[*]The event lasts for 10 days! (That's 50 issues)
[*]Winners will be determined by raw improvement and percentage improvement!
[*]This would have been on Earth Day but the site was dead![/list]
To go with the event, we've decorated the region page, and have a thematic regional wallpaper available in the Graphics Repository. Go check it out :D

Have they just been turned into a trenchcoat full of spiders? Then are they still the same person, just in spider form? Or are they spiders with no memory of or care for me?

Part of the ongoing NS problems following the disk crash I believe. There's a discussion thread in Technical on the NS forum if you want to keep up to date. All the census figures are dodgy, so the regional rankings are mince too.

Also how I learned of it.

Some of my badges got updated but I think they were messed up?? It shows that my trout fishing almost halved a day or two ago but I look at the detailed stats for everything and there was nothing that would have caused such a drastic change
And there are weird spikes and falls in the others too

Paper Airplane events are really easy, here's how you win
[spoiler=secret sauce]
turn your paper into a ball and chuck it as hard as you can. Aerodynamics be damned, gravity is going to pull that airplane to the ground. Crushing your plane into a ball of paper isn't aerodynamically efficient, but the force of the throw is far better than anything you can produce with lift.

TLDR: Paper Airplanes should be called Paper Gliders; Turn your Paper Glider into a ball and chuck.

[spoiler=Green Week Announcement]
[/spoiler]It is not necessarily 50 issues; that is best case scenario. Ideally. Though you do not tend to always get a clean sweep and there are issues that seem to not impact Environmental Beauty at all. So it will be more likely that some issues will help, but not all 50.
In my case, I still hold on to a few issues that raise some interesting topics that I plan to write some dispatches about, so I will only get like two to three every 12 hours.
Thank you either way for the announcement.
St Leone, Tuluni, Dutchformosa, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern, Lbaniya
The statement said the event lasts for 50 issues. This type of pedantry is both unnecessary and refuting a point that was never made. I'd like it if you stopped doing this.

At least to my knowledge nobody has made any sort of request during or after the International World Assembly Worker's Strike (name pending), so no changes to talk about.
Fun Refugi Fact: Around 250 megaquettaplancks away from the Horizontal and Vertical Admin Towers (don't be confused between the two of them; the Horizontal is the seat of Refugi power[/I] and the Vertical is the Refugi seat of power[/I], big difference), there is a wooded lodge that hosts possibly the most powerful of the Refugi civil service wizards (often referred to as "bots", including "simplebots"), known as Dot. Refugi can go by her abode to hear news about their home nations, learn who is yet to have been given an olive branch and a piece of apple tart for world assembly membership, determine what color something is, donate your life savings to the humanitarians of tomorrow, and even conjure up familiars such as the season of winter, crystals that allow you to shapeshift or have a big dwarven axe, a field of jars in the middle of a rainforest, and the badger who's had a restraining order filed by the Refugi Cemetery Association for "causing a ruckus" and "waking everybody in the cemetery up," whatever that could mean.
Anyways, here's the new list of transformed nations (myself now included)
If you missed this one but still want to join, this new transformation window will end at approximately 17:00 (or 5:00 pm) GMT on May 7th. See you then! :3

2a is likely not the right distinction. A more accurate assessment is that their behaviour is extremely uncomfortable.
This is not regarding any single exchange.

HOW DO I GET INTO THIS IT IS INCREDIBLE!!
Tuluni, The Blue Fire, Lbaniya, West Ladynia
Personally, I'm of the opinion that "uncomfortable behavior" does not fall under unruly conduct, especially if it's followed up by an apology when confronted about it. Perhaps, though, as one of the newer members, I am not quite as knowledgable on the RSS and its history, and if anyone knows better, please feel free to correct me.

Hi, I'd like to invoke my rights as a Resident under RRS (9d), for a legality challenge regarding the Banjection and subsequent unbanning of Uwuguaya, under RRS (2a). I will file an amicus brief, below.
Appreciations,
E. W.E
[spoiler=Amicus Brief]
May it please the Refugia Council,
Uwuguaya's Conduct, under RRS 2a, was not sufficient to warrant a Banjection. Under RRS (2a) there has to be "Unruly conduct, where the offending Resident has not been receptive to intervention." [1] Uwuguaya was never given an intervention of any form, be it on the RMB or on discord. Using RRS 2a in this manner would set a future precedent that Banjections could occur without a given intervention.
Moving past that, if Banjections can occur at the discretion of Refuge Isle, as they themselves point out that RRS (2a) is not sufficient to carry substance in this banjection [2]. If this is allowed, the future precedent that behavior people find to be uncomfortable could become standard practice. If this becomes standard practice, this could lead to future Banjections of any person Refuge Isle simply doesn't like, and could lead to the undermining of RRS.
I argue Uwuguaya's Banjection is illegal because
1. It does not fit the criteria of RRS (2a) [1]
2. Refuge Isle's actions indicate an extreme misuse of power.
3. Refuge Isle admits that RRS (2a) [2] should not have been used in this Banjection, rendering Uwuguaya's Banjection Illegal under RRS (2a). [1]
So may it please the Council.

They're unbanned from the region so there's nothing to appeal.
Sylh Alanor, Lbaniya
RRS (9d), as interpreted, allows me to "solicit an official Regional ruling, opinion, or position from the Regional Council." [1] I am requesting an Official Regional Ruling, and am challenging the legality of your actions, not to overturn Uwuguaya's Banjection, which has already occurred.
[spoiler=Footnotes:]
[1] "9. All Residents within the Region have the right to solicit an official Regional ruling, opinion, or position from the Regional Council, and delivered by a representative thereof, on subjects of:
a. A Foreign Affairs policy, position, or perspective.
b. The status of a Member State.
c. Challenges regarding any ejection or barring of nations from the Region, where a majority of the Regional Council may reverse the action.
d. Challenges regarding the legality of activity by a Councillor or their staff, where a majority of the Regional Council may reverse the action."

Building a monorail lowers your eco-friendlines. I guess the work it takes to clear a path for the tracks and for actually manufacturing the tracks (or the beam if it's a hanging one) is somewhat environmentally damaging, but at the end of the day it's a long-term investment, so I think the issue should actually raise that stat.
