Dang, the first post I made on here was on page 450 just under a year and a half ago. IÂ’ve been hanging around for over half of the regionÂ’s RMB history

Heya, apologies for temporarily crashing onto this group's couch. My main nation is currently in between two (potentially) toxic groups and I'm on the search for a new RP group that has a spot for an evil corporation-run government. If yall kick me that fine I'm honestly just emotionally tired and wanted a break so I understand if you're not thrilled about the newcomer not staying for long.

We have survived 999 apocalypsae so far, what is another apocalypse to us?

Besides, we are on the 1001st page, so obviously this apocalypse has been somehow averted!

Here, look at DVIV: We have been facing an apostrophe apocalypse, but due to some reasonable measures take'n, Bad punctuation has come to a full stop.

I heard from a friendÂ’s friendÂ’s second cousinÂ’s wifeÂ’s uncle that the world is actually supposed to end on page 2012 because there was an ancient civilization awhile back that left some signs of dubious authenticity.

I sure hope that apocalypse is averted as well, otherwise we have only 1111 pages left to live.

Does anyone else remember the Mayan calendar thing? I thought it was crazy how many people around me seemed to actually believe it.

Some sort of widespread apocalypse has happened, for only a mere handful of nations are left from those days. It was a graveyard. Pages on pages of dead nations with only a couple alive in between. Perhaps there is some wisdom to be found there, or perhaps we are all just doomed to one day destroy ourselves.

Estebere wrote:Ok, hear me out: Refugia has already been destroyed, and the nations are just still in limbo, represented by the RMB.

Considering I took a peek at some RMB pages from a year and a half ago and almost every post was from a CTEed nation IÂ’m going with the world already ended and we didnÂ’t get the memo.

[spoiler]This is a bit of an exaggeration, there are plenty of posts from people who are still around, and plenty are even still in the region. But there are a lot of CTEed nations.[/spoiler]

Question that just came up in Discord so I'll ask it here too: if you could move to any real place, where would you go and why?

It's a tough one for me, there are plenty of places I'd want to move to be closer to friends, but other than that I'd say maybe the Netherlands. I like the sound of a country where I could happily not drive and my cousin has moved there and loves it.

Either that or somewhere warm, that's almost always about 20-25°C like Tenerife.

I would like to pose an additional question for those of us who picked a non-cat as our animal. If you were a domestic cat, what type/breed/color would you be? Personally I think IÂ’d be a shorthaired brown tabby.

Since Mars is an actual real planet out there, I'd rather move to Mars (assuming I would be able to create there everything needed for survival). Why? Because it's out there. To go where no man has gone before.

brb going to write a proposal that just says "injunct every frontier" seeing as that seems to be the flavour of the day.

If they want to be safe from raiders they can transition to a stronghold. If they want the benefits of nation spawns then they should be prepared to deal with the risks, or make defence pacts in my opinion.

It's a tough one for me, there are plenty of places I'd want to move to be closer to friends, but other than that I'd say maybe the Netherlands. I like the sound of a country where I could happily not drive and my cousin has moved there and loves it.

Either that or somewhere warm, that's almost always about 20-25°C like Tenerife.

Netherlands sounds good for the not-driving part! Almost convinced purely by that. I think I'd like to live in Iceland or a Scandinavian country cause they're pretty and I like cold, or at least that's what I'd normally say except it's really cold right now so maybe I'll go to Italy --- OH ACTUALLY ITALY IS GOOD ILL PICK THAT.

The hair is so inviting to play with. Maybe the 'Bactrian camel' would be the animal I would choose to be.

It's so elegant. Throw pillow...

Wait whatÂ’s this thing about apocalypses-

There's soon to be a mock apocalypse called Z-day (Z for Zombie). Stay alert!

Exactly my sentiment. I vote and encourage others to vote Against all injunction proposals on frontiers.

Hello my fellow eco dorks! The newest eco report is out now!

The Star Enpire, Delta Vega Iv, Chacapoya, Typica, Araine, Jazur, Morrigan, Pantumaca, Ban Oldern

Went down a rabbit hole of the most influential regions andÂ… uhhhÂ… all hail Sirius3108 I guess

Anyways, newest transformation list coming up! (going to close the window for transformations and start making this a every-full-moon thing so yeah if you transformed you have to roleplay as the animal you transformed into [you can still think, act, etc. like a human but you can only do the things you can do as that animal] and if you donÂ’t then I wonÂ’t recognize yours as legit [yes you can transform into a human/choose not to participate for a certain time])

Newer-er-est list:

Tiralta: gray tabby I guess

Kattenland: flying cat (phoenix cat?)

The Blue Fire: orange cat

Voinarx: maine coon cat (looks epic ngl)

Estebere: calico cat

Morrigan: ragdoll cat (apparently a real cat breed, a real TIL moment ig)

Araine: osprey

Pantumaca: anglerfish

Chacapoya: arctic tern

Boxiia: box jellyfish

Cheesy Tots: albatross

The Pacific Northwest: black cat (with a beaver tail because yes)

Silliy: Giant isopod (spiffy roly-poly who lives underwater)

Penocamptt: Dragon (didnÂ’t specify so Y Ddraig Goch it is!)

Portmanteau: Bactrian camel

Unrecognized Refugi States: real countries (gotten!!!1!!1!11!! Ban Kanisa cool tho the rest are pretenders*)

[sub]*theyÂ’re all my alts jsyk[/sub]

And now time to do this stuffÂ

Takes out prismaglyph, it begins to glow dimly, powers up, and quickly fills the room with light, transforming all 15 participants into their chosen animal in a process reminiscent of Pokémon evolution sequences

Next transformation signup window will begin at midnight, November 22nd UTC! Have fun for the next three weeks as your new forms!

[sub]Forward any and all complaints, requests, questions, and concerns to Ban Oldern by telegram. Any transformation is valid, including gender, species, and mental transformations. You will be responded to within 3-5 business days. Species transformations only valid on full moons for the specific reference area (SRA) and are cueable starting around 6 days in advance.[/sub]

So IÂ’m a wereblackcatwithbeavertail now.

Well this is The Pacific Northwest, the place movies, shows, and games have collectively decided is a hotspot for supernatural activities. I see no reason why a wereblackcatwithbeavertail couldnÂ’t continue to run the country on full moons. ItÂ’s just another Tuesday in The Pacific Northwest.

And thereÂ’s been an odd lack of announcement for the upcoming Zday. Perhaps turning everyone into animals really will avert the apocalypse?

Bit of a clarification: You are the animal [I]until[/I] the next moon, where you can choose to be a different animal

So no Warrior Cats vs. Zombies?

Good. I'm not sure we're ready for that.

Personally more of a dog person myself and don't know much about cats (as evidenced by my complete lack of knowledge about the fact that ragdoll cats are a breed of cats rather than abnormally dumb cats) but if I [I]had[/I] to choose, probably a Maine Coon because they just look awesome

I'd die if i chose local cat breeds here. So, why not Scottish Fold? Or maybe British Shorthair.

To be fair, ragdoll cats are both a breed AND abnormally dumb :D

What kind of dog would you be?

A pit bull, definitely. I don't care how they look to anyone else, they're sweet and goofy and cute and I wouldn't trade my pit bull for anything.

I think all of us should try to get the Ocean Nova banner. It's a symbol of a great environment and it's really pretty!

I actually think I have that already! But yeah, I agree on that.

Typica, Tiralta, The Blue Fire

alright guys, in about 5 minutes y'all are gonna have to fight some zombies. Just don't try to do anything that would be possible as a human but not in your current form. (You can do most things tho, at least from my experience, although my paws have opposability and yours probably don't because you all chose real animals and I did my transformations purely as an experiment, which I don't recommend to anyone because it feels really f**king weird when you do that)
