Have you ever played actual rhythms or just gone *Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang*?
Agreed.
Uh oh they've come for our music too
Oh yeah, I forgot about that part of it. Maybe I might try it some day too...
Eh, may as well volunteer Estebere for this.

Last month my house was destroyed in a fire after a dragon breathed on it. Three weeks ago my new house was hit by a category 5 hurricane caused by a weird butterfly that can generate hurricanes, and the wind tore it to shreds and the water washed everything away. Two weeks ago a giant snake caused an earthquake, which destroyed the newer house. Last week a giant stepped on the even newer house. And just yesterday my latest house was destroyed when pirates unleashed their cannons on it.
Unfortunately none of my insurance policies covered cannon fire so theyre not paying for that last house.

I received interest in the poll from Ullrani, Wodsustein, New Atlantic, Estebere, Ban Oldern and Penocampt.
As there were a lot of volunteers, I've spun a wheel to pick three of you. Wodsustein, Penocampt and Estebere, please keep your eye out for a telegram today!
For now, the adventure continues...

This is a pretty fun idea, credit to you. I like projects which engage with other nations in ways like this. The only other such project that's coming to mind, at the moment, is someone who used to go around writing up travelogues about tours they took of other nations. NS can be a fun place...

I didn't read through my latest issue very thoroughly and now I have legalized capital punishment. Oops?
On a brighter note, we won't be nuking anyone.

Hi people, ive made a little dispatch mini-series with songs from the Leonean civil war ^^
There is currently one song for almost every side in the conflict, the originality, creativity and quality varies as . . . imean, im not artist xD
But if anyone is interested there it is ^^

I just got back from a pep rally where I nearly went deaf due to people screaming for literally no reason. I'm going to a football game after this.

still better than being chosen to sing in private for someone
May god have mercy on your soul...

Good, just finished Seige and Storm. You read anything good lately?
Typica, Araine, Silliy
Siege and Storm as in Leigh Bardugo? Im a huge fan of her haha. I really recommend the duology that comes after it, Six of Crows. Most people agree its so much better than the first trilogy. If youre interested in a group of bickering underdogs with secrets, a politically unstable grishaverse, a deadly magical sickness, and a heist against all the odds, then youll really love this. It also expands upon the lore from the first trilogy in a far better way. Happy reading!
Typica, Araine, The Blue Fire
SHOOT I ACCIDENTALLY UNAPPLIED EMIGRATION WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Silliy
I've been reading Prisoner B-3087, I'm not gonna spoil anything though.
Typica
That's the one! And yeah, I've got to agree that Six of Crows was better. See, in writing, I enjoy two things: Elaborate schemes, and elaborate worldbuilding. Shadow and Bone had some worldbuilding, but Six of Crows did it better.
Oooh, sounds interesting. I'll have to read that sometime. What do you think of it so far?
Typica, Jazur, Sempera, Silliy
Update on the chicken pot pie, for anyone interested: It was absolutely worth it.
also we won the game 56-6 and that helps but mostly chicken pot pie

I just had an issue where I decided to fund kids martial arts programs because why not, it sounds like fun for people who want to participate. At least I think funding was what I was doing, I didnt actually read the whole thing I just know that was the positive response and the others were ban martial arts and increase police funding.
In any case, the blurb afterwards was: The government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces.
And my pacifism stat went up.

ladies and gentlemen,

Typica, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Silliy
so my causes of death are mostly old age, with maybe 1/4 lost in the wilderness and the rest death in police custody and nuclear spill.
is it canon that no one is getting murdered/dying in wars or is it just negligible?
Delta Vega Iv, Tiralta
Well, now you never know if someone is trained to fight, so you won't attack them. Therefore, some small scale combination of mutual destruction and the dark forest solution.
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Tiralta, Jazur, The Blue Fire
Ah, see, I have no idea how 1.4% of my population gets mauled by Elk.
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Tiralta, The Blue Fire, Voinarx
The blurb afterwards is merely for comic effect. They are (almost) always engeneered to be as extremely absurd as possible.
The Blue Fire, Voinarx
10.3% of mine get killed by vat accidents.
Great Cheyenne, The Blue Fire, Boxiia, Silliy
Can't get into a fight if everybody knows how to fight
Penocampt, Silliy
A whole 17% of my population gets lost in the wilderness at some point or another. What happens to them after that, I have no clue, but I have to imagine that a sizeable amount of people aren't dead and are actually creating a new civilization in the wilderness of East Montain.
Typica, Araine, Great Cheyenne, The Blue Fire
I dunno, I think that's pretty plausible.
You should start a survey squad to check.
The Blue Fire
let's see...
*checks leading causes of death*
OH MY GOD 94.2% OF MY POPULATION DIES OF OLD AGE-

Should I move my two puppets to refugia? I've never bothered with the region they're in.
Tiralta, Voinarx, Silliy
I mean, it wouldn't hurt to have more friends; even if they're puppets, right?
The Blue Fire
nah, that'd be expensive.
The Blue Fire
So many people get lost in the wilderness that we stopped sending search parties because the search parties were also getting lost
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Jazur, The Blue Fire, Voinarx
yeah, that happens
Voinarx
dang squirrels! always dissappearing people
Delta Vega Iv, The Blue Fire, Voinarx
I'm beginning to think we're losing the search parties to the Elk.
Delta Vega Iv, Voinarx
What about... the Squirrel(As in Norse Mythology)
Maybe there's an Elk on one continent and a Squirrel on the other.
Delta Vega Iv, Great Cheyenne, Voinarx, Silliy
but the Squirrel as in University of Mississippi folklore (see Grove Squirrel)
Delta Vega Iv, The Blue Fire, Voinarx
according to Wikipedia; "In Norse mythology, Ratatoskr (Old Norse, generally considered to mean "drill-tooth" or "bore-tooth") is a squirrel who runs up and down the world tree Yggdrasil to carry messages between the eagles perched atop Yggdrasil, and the serpent Níðhöggr, who dwells beneath one of the three roots of the tree."

After thinking about this a bit, I realized that it's Estebere's birthday. Interesting.
I have to admit, I thought you were talking about the welcome message right above you. Because it looks funny maybe?
Thanks : )

Oh, an overwhelming majority of Refugi find the arguments of the GA repeal compelling. I'll say I don't like the idea of civil cases and lawyers with the ability to enable distribution of this material. If there's any non consensual distribution, I think there should be criminal implications. As to the first point, I believe there should be some article specific allegation or the victim's privacy should still take precedence.
But that is all just my opinion, I'd be eager to read counter opinions.

Oh, hello. Thanks for the nice message! =D
Typica, Tiralta, Uwuguaya
Again, I don't find these repeal arguments compelling.
The target was specific and effective to sports or competitive arenas, I don't see why the author can't make more resolutions for the non-targeted issues.
"A cohesive replacement" ... "of the sort that certain factions in the Assembly"... why can't we be specific? This language makes be very suspicious.
"Registering complaints for the record" .. "surrounding recent legislation on this topic". What are these complaints and why aren't they here?

Hi everyone
So uh... Chess. Do any of you play chess online?
Great! I'll go... let me just find somewhere to put all of this... ahaha! Found a table, feel free to put it all there. Thanks for coming, even if a few days late.
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Araine, Jazur, Uwuguaya, Penocampt, Theadstheadia, Silliy
I AM TWO DAYS LATE BUT I HAVE ARRIVED WITH A CAKE, GOODIES, AND PRESENTS, BALLOONS WERE TOO EXPENSIVE SO JUST IMAGINE I BROUGHT SOME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Delta Vega Iv, Typica, Araine, Jazur, Uwuguaya, Ethierys, Penocampt, Theadstheadia
Only when I have time for it and am in the mood. Which is usually once in a few years.
There was a couple of weeks I participated in a series of Group chess games against a Computer, held on my favorite Social Network, the Fediverse (also known sometimes as Mastodon). When I realized it's eating up too much of my time, I quit.
Typica, Tiralta, Uwuguaya, Penocampt
Happy Birthday!!!-Sorry, I know I am several days late and a dollar short but I brought you this moule frites, a dish consisting of boiled mussels with chips (/French fries), a cottage pie and an admirals pie, a vanilla plant, and a cinnamon-apple soufflé. Also this bag of locally grown m*gic shrooms. Where can I put all these things?
And yes, I do play chess online. I have both, chess.com and lichess.
Typica, Araine, Tiralta, Jazur, Penocampt, Silliy
Occasionally, yeah.
Typica, Tiralta, Uwuguaya
Huh, sounds interesting. Hope you find the time again someday(If you want to, that is)
Great! Put it all on the table I brought out. As for the magic mushrooms, please toss them out the window. It's nice and all, but we really don't enjoy using them(P.S. also, it's not my actual birthday, just this nations)
Oh, chess.com? I also play on there!
Nice. Do you play on any specific site?
Delta Vega Iv, Tiralta, Jazur, Uwuguaya, Penocampt, Theadstheadia
Chess.com is what I use when I play chess, otherwise it's a game on roblox legit called "CHESS!"
Typica, Tiralta, Jazur, Uwuguaya, The Blue Fire, Theadstheadia
I am extremely bored right now, anyone got any game recommendations? If not, I will start causing chaos, launching shirts at people out of extremely powerful shirt launchers.

I would play chess online but it's been banned for being too passive.
Chess is very aggressive

I didn't even know that Amiyoka CTE'd and got kicked out of Refugia :(

Oh yeah, I remember that
(It's fine about the chess invitiation, kind of the same with school and such)
Passive? They should just mandate that every game played can only be 1 minute blitz games, can't get any more aggressive than that.

Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is well. I'm just writing up this quick post to, unfortunately, announce a hiatus from NationStates- perhaps indefinitely. I still love logging in and messing around with my nation, but I am a STEM major and have been ridiculously busy in my every day life, and I simply don't have the same time nor energy to log on regularly anymore.
After having been in this region for over a year now, I can definitely say Refugia was a large reason I played as long as I have. I will still attempt to log on occasionally to stop Tidelia from CTE'ing and might shoot a quick hello in here, but that is likely the extent of what I'll be doing for a while. Thanks for all the fun guys! Hopefully I can get active in here again another day :)
