No hearts, just souls o.o we are now a soul devouring region!

Happy Valentine's Everyone!

Now that it has finally actually ticked over to the 14th where I am, I feel more able to actually say it, lol. As you can see we've got a Shakespeare themed poll going on that you can participate in! We've also got a lot of love going around in the discord server; heart-reacts everywhere! And boy do we have a lot of hearts to react with - we have a whole suite of LGBT+ inclusive hearts :)

This may be a dumb corporate-invention of a "holiday," but I think we can claim some meaning from it. That meaning doesn't have to be silly grand gestures of love for others, or even anything to do with traditional notions of romance. I'd like to remind everyone to love themselves for who they are, and to love those around them who mean a lot to them. We don't all have romantic relationships to focus on - some of us don't wish to, while some of us have escaped some pretty awful ones - so that message means a lot more, I think, than the hetero-normative drivel that Valentine's usually comes with. For all those with a special someone, and especially those without, I hope you have a nice day ahead of you.

I can't conveniently access the discord. This service and many others are blocked by the Chinese gouvernment and VPN isn't working reliably lately... just fyi

Aw that's a shame to hear. Oh well, we'll just have to chat with you on the RMB then! I hope you're doing okay anyways :)

Yeah, it's inconvenient, but with the corona-virus and everything they're once again stepping up the Great Firewall...

All hail the firewall \o/

In Civ V it's a pretty good wonder, at least. Negates the x2 tourism bonus other civs get against you when they discover the internet.

My man, civV! That's what i'm talking about! just played a game yesterday. One of my all time favourites!

Dune-Aemiliana wrote:My man, civV! That's what i'm talking about! just played a game yesterday. One of my all time favourites!

Aw nice! It has been one of my favourite strategy games for years now. Back in high school, when we got study leave to prepare for our GCSE exams, I racked up about 700 hours in it in those few weeks.

Since then I've played consistently - used to hold tournaments with my friends in 6th form - which I almost invariably won. Then we moved on to using balance overhaul mods, first No Quitters, then LEKMOD, and the competition really intensified, though I still tend to win.

In the years since then I've had an ongoing rivalry with The Vanguard Fleet, and we play a fair amount. Overall I've racked up 2321 hours in it :P

RIP to many of our friends from Reddit, lol...

Impressive. I'm more casual. Sure, I've modded the game somewhat, but no overhauls. I'm around 1000 hours now. Found out yesterday that steam is refusing to open any of my games... First a quarantine, now steam's not working...

Aw damn, that sucks. Though steam has been suffering some Chinese spambot stuff recently so I'm not sure it's connected. Maybe if you find the executables for the games in your files and directly launch them though that it'll work?

I tried to. At first I thought it was an issue with just CiV and I tried it with the .exe and other stuff, but then I ran into the same issue with Total War Rome II, so I'm guessing there's something else going on...

Well crap. Not really sure what to suggest then, besides a general feeling of hope. Who knows, maybe constructing a small shrine to Xi Jinping will work? XD

Good read, were you not allowed to mention the region name?

Lambflakitobia wrote:Good read, were you not allowed to mention the region name?

It wouldn't have been good form to try to rep it using NSToday. They're a group interested in providing news and interesting content for people on NS, not serving as a platform for us or anyone else to recruit. It has been a very good policy so far. I've worked with them for quite a while too - been on a couple of podcast interviews, was a governor for a while.

Fashy spamboi banned. It's generally best not to respond to them and contact me to get rid of that kind of peep.

Being surprised at the couple of fashy peeps who've rolled through recently. Both have been banned as soon as I noticed, but still. You'd hardly expect this place to be the most attractive to them, but hey ho. Banning them is pretty simple :P

I propose that everyone in the region or more so in the alliance to follow a common currency, backed by my very strong hybridical economy

Who wants to join the silver alliance?

I think we need to establish and improve foreign relations before founding an inter regional alliance

Lagerus wrote:I think we need to establish and improve foreign relations before founding an inter regional alliance

True

How should we do that

I can think of two methods.

We can send out ambassadors to like minded nations and express an interest in maintained communication

or

We can involve ourselves in inter regional issues (probably through the WA) and lobby. In the process, we could establish allies

Hey guys it’s Pokemon United’s alternate account!
