Looks like we're back in action, folks

Finally, the Christmas Crash of 2022 is over

[spoiler=What happened]

It started with some scheduled downtime to replace a disk at end-of-life. Then they took a backup of the relevant system, powered down, and their host attempted to clone the disk. Then there was a "glorious" 30-minute period where everything was running again, Until they lost power and experienced a hard crash.

Afterwards, they start to piece together data from various sources & backups. From what I can tell this was challenging because they were in different states.

(Note: I could be wrong, but this is what I think happened)

my country is now a socialist AI-managed entity. And my economic output fell by 20%. Damn it.

A little over a month ago, you guys might remember we asked everyone to fill out a community Census. The Census is a tradition around November to figure out what we in administration can be doing better, and to find out more about the members we serve. I'm pleased to say that the Census report is now available for viewing. These reports take me a lot longer than they used to (about 100 hours to put everything together). So, if you're especially inclined, check out the results to get more of an idea of the big picture (and there is at least one literal large picture), and drop an upvote so that it can become a trending dispatch for no legitimate reason.

Thanks everyone for filling out a survey, I really appreciate the feedback. We are already hard at work incorporating that feedback and I'm literally hype as hell for the coming year when we will do more amazing and cool stuff than ever before.

I appear to notice we have some guys, a couple gals, and many many many non-binary pals.

*blinks rapidly* Floofybit is from Conch KingdomÂ… right? IÂ’m not going insane. Floofybit was talking to my Conch Kingdom alt, right? Yeah, because we were talking about pangolinsÂ… Jesus Christ I just doubted my sanity.

Oh yeah, I had one of those, itÂ’s fun. You have multiple issues, and each one affects what happens next.

Floofybit used to be here until a couple months ago. They said some stuff on the forums that wasnÂ’t very kosher and got banned.

Istastioner wrote:What happened to Floofybit ??

I don't know if they got banned or if they left of their own accord, but the bottom line is that they said some stuff on the forums that didn't match up very well with Refugia's ideals

He posted transphobia on the NS forum (which netted him a warning from NS mods). When he was confronted about it, he deleted half the posts, but doubled down on the rest, then blewing up in telegrams about how Refugia is a woke leftist conspiracy that hates men, continued to post unhinged things on the forums and got warned again. This is all public content that you can seek out if you're absolutely dying to do so.

The ban from Refugia and CalRef is permanent and it's not something you guys need to keep bringing up. Certainly not when you keep spam-pinging Floofybit with tag notifications in an RMB that he can't respond in. Drop it and move on.

I just discovered now that it's back, been waiting impatiently since Saturday Night when I realized it's down.

This calls for a celebration.

* Brings a small glass goblet and a bottle of dry red Merlot, pours a few drops, raises goblet *

Cheers!

P.S. I decided to give Eluvatar, whom I remember pretty well from Taijitu, some pocket-money towards this great Dinner he plans (I have no idea how many people he plans on inviting, I hope he spends the money well).

Oh yeah, one quick note: Despite NS' Downtime, the Endotarting Competition is still going on!

If this is your first time hearing about it, we are trying to see what nations can give out the most endorsements to other nations within Refugia. The top 30 endorsement-givers will be guaranteed a Season 2 Legendary card.

And, since all card bids and asks are wiped, it's already gotten harder to secure Season 2 legendary cards like our final S2 bulk prize, Season 2 Luna Amore. We've already added 1,500 endorsements to the region, reclaiming our rightful spot as the #2 most endorsement-happy region on NationStates, but let's see if there's anything else we can do.

Since there are so many World Assembly nations in Refugia, now or in the future, feel free to use our very own tool to get help finding and endorsing nations quickly. Check it out, and hopefully it'll make things a bit easier for you: https://tart.calref.network/. If you do not wish to use this device, the table of WA nations within the program dispatch has been updated with the current WA residents.

Until then, here's where things currently stand:

How many Planets to a Silver? Would it factor in the cost of the silver needed to make Silvers(Silvers have about one quarter of themselves as actual silver, the rest a cheaper look alike), or would the conversion just be something like three to one or, I don't know, four to two and a half?

idk

honestly

here's my headcanon

1 10 Hygiea = 1 Dwarf Planet

1 Ceres = 5 Dwarf Planets

1 Makemake = 10 Dwarf Planets

1. Haumea = 25 Dwarf Planets

1 Eris = 50 Dwarf Planets

1 Pluto = 75 Dwarf Planets

1 mercury = 1 Planet

1 mars = 2 Planet

1 venus = 5 Planet

1 Earth = 10 Planets

1 Uranus = 25 Planets

1 Neptune = 30 Planets

1 Saturn = 50 Planets

1 jupiter = 100 Planets

but yeah i think it's 1:1

Oh, in exchange for the salt shaker(despite the free part) I'll give you half a bag of my Esteberian pine needles. Perfect use for my hunting knife. *Pine needles explode everywhere* Well then.

One challenge that I have when doing events is to try to balance things between things being fully popularity contests, and fully randomised. In real sporting competitions, you have the training and techniques of the individual teams, as well as how well they can work during the actual events. In things like these, there's usually not that level of complexity because of balance and how long it would take to set up.

I do have a bracket-based event coming up thought.

Is it possible to get S1 cards without having to buy them from someone else??

Istastioner wrote:Is it possible to get S1 cards without having to buy them from someone else??

Yes. There's a small chance of opening a new pack and discovering inside all either S1 or S2 cards. I don't know whether folks have actually calculated what that percentage is, but it's not insignificant, in my experience.

Small sample size, and I'm sure someone else has better stats somewhere, but on the S3 drop I had 139 packs saved up among my various nations and got 2 S1 drops and 1 S2 drop, so I'd imagine it's somewhere around a 2% chance.

Figuring out what cards I was missing from the region was pretty easy with the North PacificÂ’s card queries thing, and that was most of my bids, but everything else I havenÂ’t even tried.

IÂ’m collecting cards for the souls games IÂ’ve played and I found all the ones I have by manual searches, and I only had like 8 left to go when the shutdown happened. I managed to remember 3, but the other 5 I havenÂ’t even tried.

Welp, I've finally gotten the bank and the will to place a bid on every S2 Refugia card, so now the only thing that can stop me is another bid removing crash. Oh, or Typica outbidding me.

My absolute favourite collection at the moment is my S3 numbered puppets collection which I'd love to finish, and while I *can* manually check every nation that fits my criteria to see if it has a card, which I did for the first 400 or so that I found, it's like... several thousand nations to check. So I think figuring out the dump will work somewhat better for me, at least for that collection, now that I have that.

I don't know if I'm just repeatedly reading this issue wrong, but on Issue #123, I want to legalize vat-grown meat for both consumption and medical purposes, but I think there are only options for one or the other.

I just banned homophobia, and went down to see what stats it changed. I assumed the most increased stat would be civil rights, or inclusiveness, or something along those lines.

Hoffnung wrote:Wait.

DonÂ’t you know? Trans people are really good chefs. However, their talent was being held back by their gender dysphoria. If they can change to their true genders, they have time to focus on their true passion, cooking.

Also Happy New Year to some guys, a couple fellow gals, and many many many non-binary pals.

(IÂ’m using the census information to make my sayings more accurate, I hope you appreciate my subtle changes.)
