Earlier this month, one of your aides stumbled upon a makeshift encampment of missing bureaucrats in the bowels of Mother potato. Their discovery has prompted debate on whether the government has become too large and unwieldy.

“What we have discovered is the bureaucrat’s natural habitat,” soothingly narrates renowned naturalist Nigel Verithorough. “We have visited this tribal community several times since its discovery and have made great strides in understanding their unfamiliar ways. What was immediately clear to us was that this community would never be able to survive in our world. In the name of cultural preservation, we must protect their environment - in this case, the catacombs of Moulk2’s Capitol. Study and observe, but do not destroy, Leader.”

I’m really good at approximating how much time has passed. I can usually correctly guess within 3 minutes if I’m paying attention. If the period of time exceeds three hours I can’t guess accurately, though. It’s useless because I carry a watch but still kind of cool. I have no idea how or why I can do it.

I've also got basic proficiency on saxophones, clarinet, trumpet, tuba, baritone, flute, trombone, and French horn.

But my degree is in music, originally music education, so I don't really count, I had to learn a lot of instruments.

I don’t play any at all so you have me beat.

I took violin lessons for a couple years back in elementary school because I was forced to even though I hated it for a few reasons. Turned me off learning any instrument for a long time because of bad memories and now I’ve forgotten everything.

Now it’s more of a combination of being scared of failure and money.

That's fair yeah. I've always wanted to play the violin so when I became 30 I made a deal with myself to get one and teach myself. it's a slow process but it's worth it, and you can find decent beginner violins for under $250 which was nice. I won't be good for a while but I'm also not breaking my finances for it lol

I played the clarinet for 6 years and got quite good at it but I stopped and at this point I don’t remember anything. I’m now trying to learn the ukulele and eventually I’ll learn guitar. I am always very impressed by people who know how to play a lot of instruments.

As I am voting with the minority of the region on the current SC resolution at vote, I am required to supply reasoning.

Declarations are already pretty useless, and this one is just being written to appeal to the high up people in the card community. It's nothing but political preening, and the complaint that people don't appreciate super rare legendaries is such a nothing issue.

Seriously, you're the one who decides what the goals of your collections are. If you want to get a legendary collection, that's a totally on you decision and nobody is obligated to respect the cards they get because of you. And here's the real kicker: anyone this could apply to isn't going to read it. Why is it here, what's the point?

I chalked up the issue with this resolution being the fundamental issue with having declarations in the first place. I posted here on the RMB with a tenuous recommendation to vote in favor of the resolution with the reasoning that this was simply the nature of declarations, and at least this one said something that I thought was agreeable, however unrealistic.

However, I also said that if you want to vote against it because you don't like this nothing declaration, then you are more than obligated to, and upon seeing your vote against, I actually voted against it myself.

Forum thread: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=528610

I fully intend to supply lengthy, detailed analyses of World Assembly writing during this term, but this proposal is borderline incoherent so there's not much worth saying. Way too much emphasis on "public interest" to do all the heavy lifting of deciding what is and isn't allowed - 2(a) in particular implies that the public's interest in accountability under the law may be outweighed by other nebulous public interests, which doesn't sound exploitable at all. Strongly recommending against. Let me know what you think.

What does influence mean? Is it simply a measure of endorsements?

Basiltown wrote:What does influence mean? Is it simply a measure of endorsements?

From https://tart.calref.ca/:

[spoiler]

0 wrote:Why Endorsements Matter

For most User-Created Regions (UCRs), influence is a great boon. In addition to providing you another potential gold 1% census badge, it's also a vital component of regional security.

When an executive founder ceases to exist, either through inactivity, departure, or being deleted by NationStates moderators, the World Assembly Delegate of their region inherits all of their powers. An executive delegate can control almost all aspects of a region. Since a delegate is automatically elected by whoever has the most endorsements, players can band together and move into a region with little to no notice and conduct a hostile takeover. In these raids, it is possible to lose control to the point that the region and all its history and message content are irreversibly destroyed.

One saving grace is that while a founder may ban nations for free, an executive delegate must spend influence equal to half the influence of the nation they wish to ban. Consequently, the more influence a nation has, the harder it is to ban them. Since influence in UCRs never decays, the earlier you start sending and receiving endorsements, the more influence you can build up, and the safer your region can be. This defence technique is called an Influence Fortress, and it is one of the most effective ways of ensuring your region is never destroyed by invaders.

The Battle of All Things II: Match Update

Sometimes I wonder if Refugi really just want matches that are contentious, but we all know the truth. Progressing further into the competition, as each candidate becomes a cult classic, no one wants to see any one of them lose. The Battle of All Things, however, is relentless and hounds all champions down for destruction until there is only one left.

The potato forces amassed, a starch army standing stiff against the blistering expanse before them. Some potatoes containing other potatoes, some containing vital nutrients, others containing abject poverty. Under cover of darkness, at five minutes til midnight, the tuber men of rooster had hoped to catch their enemy off guard and avoid its greatest weapon of light. The potato leaders stood atop farmers' market frigates, gently soaring across mile-marker 87. Picking up their megaphone, powered by potato batteries, the potato generals began to use their special ability of intimidation. All was going according to plan.

Yet it was not to be. Sunlight broke across the horizon. No, it was more than that. It was a thousand suns! As the temperature began to rise, the lines of reality wavered and blurred. The biblically accurate potatoes became overpowered at the light invading their many sensors and the ground became a daydream haze of blood and pain. They cannot get out. They cannot get out. We cannot get out...

For the second time in as many weeks, Potato supporters were melted into a quivering pool of salt, despite their best efforts to rally for the chosen. In the end, it seems that the potato truly could not take root in such a caustic environment. The endless salt flat expanse of greater Utah stood triumphant, 32-25.

Moulk2 receives a Season 2 Testlandia and a small, silver framed portrait of Queen Victoria, which provides them with a fresh 1% badge in International Artwork.

The next match begins immediately with Match H: Cheddar Man vs. A Horse Thicc Enough to Carry You

Did you know that Calamity Refuge has a Book Club?

Well now you do! I thought I'd announce it here as our book for March is Carmilla by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu - we have been promised lesbian vampires if those are the magic words to convince you to read it too. It's fairly short and also free on Project Gutenberg so it's a good book to get started with.

While voting for the Book Club takes place on our Discord, you can join in with reading and discussing the books on our handy dandy forum! If you're not confident with reviewing books, that's fine, I'll also ask a question each month that can be answered.

As well as Book Club, there are also spam games and sometimes non-NationStates RPs going on. It's a nice, chill place to be, and we'd love to see you there ^.^
