RP - Regional League
[spoiler][I]After two closely fought wins over the Nationific Naturals, all the attention was on star batter Eder Adam. Adam hit a game winning home run on both days, appearing to stare down Naturals batter Tiger Lake on day 7.[/I]
"There is no hostility there from me" Adam said,[/I] "Lake is a player I have always respected, but of course it was nice to show who wears the crown in this league"
"We have to continue to back that up though. Winning that series this week was important for us, but it has taken too long to get this thing running and we need to press on from here"
[I]Adam clearly shoulders some of the blame for that, but told reporters to look to this weeks 9-1 demolition of Cat City Clawzz as their best example of what this team can achieve[/I]
"Everyone showed that they can carry this team if needed in that game but don't be surprised if you hear Fletcher (Mejia)'s name a little more after that performance."
Rookie, Fletcher Mejia certainly caught fans attention this week, but it was Adam who everyone was talking about by Day 7.[/I][/spoiler]

The NNS channel showing on a TV screen
Nationific Naturals Coach Edward Jones
"We've had a widely successful week against the Insula Barons. Let me tell you my dear media,we've beaten them at every game we've played against them!"
Asked about the Day 5, 6 and 7 games
"Veaetmar's Holten Highwaymen have beaten us,and, well,we did mess up there, but they were incredibly good. You people should have seen Eder Adam playing, splendid. That doesn't mean they're gonna beat us again."
Naturals Team Owner John Autofic
"The fans got their entertainment, I got my money. What else do you ask of the team?"
The screen cuts to black as an apology note pops up
We're deeply sorry about last night's news coverage, there was an error in reading match result data. We apologise for spreading news that the Naturals lost against the Barons. We regret this and also take back our allegations of Arenado being bribed.
Nation Guy, Edward Jones and John Autofic heave a deep sigh of relief. What a fiasco!

Afirkstan National News Network (ANNN): The Tim and Tony Talk Show
Timothy Edwards: Welcome to the Tim and Tony Talk Show on the ANNN. Lets start off with the amazing start to the season from the Afirkstan Nomads, the national baseball team of Afirkstan. Tony, I have two words for you: Phenomenal start.
Tony Robinson: Yeah Tim. The Nomads have had a great start to the season. When looking at their 7-3 record, I'm thinking of three players in particular: Lloyd Christensen, David Hassan, and Luka Linkowic.
Timothy Edwards: Yes Tony; exactly these three players clearly stick out to me too; especially Lloyd Christensen, the Center-Fielder with a HUGE bat. He's not just a powerhouse batter Tony, he has the ability to see pitches, draw walks, and to basically hit the ball anywhere he wants to. He has opened the season with a mind-blowing batting average of .356 and has logged almost 40% of the team's RBIs.
Tony Robinson: Christensen certainly has had the quickest start to the season and has put the team on his shoulders offensively. Let's talk about the other two players we mentioned: David Hassan and Luka Linkowic. These relief pitchers are two heroes that haven't had much recognition in this season so far.
Timothy Edwards: Yeah Tony; you're right. Linkowic and Hassan are the two that have been able to seal games up quick. When they're on the mound, they can lock batters up with their deadly off-speed pitches. The two have combined for an ERA of 0.98. Can I repeat that for you? 0.98. The two have also combined for well over half of the Nomads' saves. Manager Ben Labanowski has been able to put either of these pitchers on the mound in critical points in games and they have not crumbled under the pressure.
Tony Robinson: Yeah so if you are new to the world of Afirkstan Nomads baseball you need to keep an eye out for these three players. The offense has been incredible this season as well as the bullpen. What needs improvement is the starting pitching, an area of the team that was expected to perform better.
Timothy Edwards: Yeah the starting pitching certainly needs to improve... The Nomads lead the Regional League with a record of 7-3. This week they have a four-game series against the Cat City Clawzz at Globetrotter Park. Tickets are going quick, so hurry up and buy those tickets. We'll be back with more sports talk after the break....

You can join a government ministry, chat on the RMB or Discord, and expand your nations lore
Just to name a few :)
Watch Baseball

I've noticed Baseball is a big part of the lore here
Zentata, Afirkstan, Zeneslav
how do i join a government ministry?
Zentata, Monkelandd
Just send a TG to the head of the respective ministry. Czech Germania for culture, for example. You should get your RP stats and map slot so you can RP, which is for me, the most fun thing to do! I would encourage you to join culture because we really really really need people!
Good Luck.

Hey guys: sorry to drop quite a heavy topic on everyone, but I think this is an issue that far more people need to be aware of

Ive been in this region for a few days now and Im seeing a lot of baseball RP. I was just wondering if baseball is the first sport RP youve done?
Ayeinc, Lushie, Zentata
It is the first I have seen on this level, we just started last week!
There will be more regular RP posts too, but this is obviously the new toy for now :)
Ayeinc, Zentata
After this baseball RP Id personally love to see some basketball RP but thats just me. What sport would you guys enjoy RPing?
Badivermeraed, Ayeinc, Veaetmar, Zentata
Even though I should say hockey, I don't like it much, so either basketball or soccer. Track/other solo sports would be nice. Gymnastics too!

Olympic Games perhaps??

Radio Zeneslav News, English.
- Minister of Transport resigns from post today after Internal Committee ruling
- More wins for the baseball team today at Andrèj Źenejèv stadium
- Car manufacturer Magnus Automotive fined over low emissions scores
NA POLJTJKÀS
- Minister of Transport Dźosef Vadjmjèv has resigned from his position today. The minister found himself in hot water following vulgar comments made against drivers last week. Now, the Internal Committee has completed their investigation and concluded that Dźosef is to step down effective immediately. The Internal Committee is an organization in the parliament that helps regulate parliament and its proceedings, including organizing conferences and investigating controversy. The Prime Minister agreed with the IC's decision and issued an order for Dźosef to resign. His position will be taken over by lead transport director Bendźamjn Lèoslav. His first Parliamentary Orientation is set later this week.
NA RÈKRJACÈ
- More wins today both at home and abroad as the Baseball team battles more and more resistance. They won four out of their seven games this week, maintaining a strong lead and staying a brilliant icon around the country. The team predicts more wins in the weeks to come.
NA TRANSPÒRTACÈ
- Zenesk car manufacturer Magnus Automotive has landed itself with hefty fines after it scored poorly on emissions testing. The Department of Ground Transportation reviewed Magnus' current lineup as part of its annual compliance exams. It reviewed seven models of differing trims, including the Magnus Runner, Six Shot, Zippy, Thunderer, Exo, Range10, and Traveller, all of them giving appalling emissions results. Magnus Automotive was branded with fines in excess of Mr120 million and forced to rebuild its entire line of DriveStroke engines. The issue is expected to cost the company further damage, including new engines and emissions systems, as well as recall repairs.
- Still sunny out here today, the wind's died down. Good time to head outside and spend the afternoon outdoors. After the break, we'll have more weather forecasts, as well as the RZE community English hour. I'm your host, Lan Dźènjovic, and you're listening to Radio Zeneslav English.

Do folk rp on the rmb?
Zentata
Copied from the Insula Times:
Another horrendous week has the Barons searching for answers
Dylan Axlerod turned around, disgusted, as he gave up the 5th and 6th runs of the inning, and slowly collapsed on to the mound in shock and horror. This is a metaphor for how the team has played the last 2 weeks, going 2-12 in this span and giving up 5 times more runs than they scored. Were playing worse than we did last season. And we sucked last season, lamented right fielder Tyler Flowers after a 7-0 loss extended the losing streak to 8 games. Frustration is mounting in this clubhouse. If the team continues this horrendous play, GM Herst Stein will have no choice but to seriously shuffle his deck in a futile attempt to get this team back on track. Lets just hope it works.
Veaetmar, Arenado, Afirkstan
We have non-baseball RP here in the RMB but since we have the baseball season on now, you might be seeing less of it unless you scroll a bit.
Veaetmar
Semi-new player here, is there things for people to do that isn't rp and what is recommended?
Well, you can join a ministry, search the NS forums for interesting stuff... Or just wait until an issue pops up. You can also play the challenge (It's simple, just go to a nation page, click the crosshair icon on top, and play against that nation). I'd recommend doing RP. I mean, it's fun and it adds a new dimension to the same ol'game.
Oh, and you can post random things on the RMB. That's fun too!!

The Nationific Naturals have beaten the Holten Highwaymen, proving again why they're one of the top three teams in the Regional League.
NNS:
A field backdrop.
Coach Edward Jones speaking something.
That something is heard on a television set-
"Yeah, nice week an' all, but we need to improve our game against the Zylan Zingers and the Badi Beaks, against both of which we played the first game amazingly, but lost the second games."
Tiger Lake, star batter says-
"We got overconfident, that's what. But we're still the best, and there's time enough for us to prove once and for all that we're the best."
Swings bat menacingly.

Question Time.
So, do you have any puppets?If so, where are they, what are they, how are they.Or, if not, why not? In short (even though this question is long) tell us (telus) about your puppets.
I for example, am the Vice-Delegate of a Small Region with Farvale, a member of another region with Zentata Minor. (where most of the banned peoples went.) and High Geon is here in Thalassia. I use my puppets primarily for getting cards.
Oh yeah, and Pandartican Recruitement Office.

Just in time for all my card farms to CTE xD
I have a main group of puppets, the Toeranas.
Toerana is my main and is in The Rejected Realms, and an RMB Moderator there :o, while Toerana Iv is my citizenship nation there.
Toerana Ii is in Adger And Fjordane, a region I'll eventually actually work on.
Toerana V is in Comfy Mansion, a very small region a friend of mine owns.
Toerana Vii bounces between TRR and Warzone Airspace depending on whether Lazarus is occupying it or not, which they currently are!
Toerana Vi and Inverted Toerana bounce about, doing whatever while Poswon is in a roleplay region that I have some friends in.
I have a few regions that I own, mostly locked away, with the Agoodname series (to 100) being where I farm cards, a hobby of mine I haven't done in a while.
I'm by far most active on this account and my main, given my involvement in both TRR and Thalassia, and I have some trivial and joke accounts like Trump Dab, a personal favourite of mine.
I can't wait to go clear notifications on all these accounts xD
Liruslau, Nationific, Ayeinc, Veaetmar
Pretty good, can't complain.
Pined is my first puppet. I had it in TNP for a while, then I moved here. Now its in India.
Neiteg is my second puppet. It was in The Interdimensional Community (my original region that moved from The Galactic Empire Of Britain). Now its here!

The map is about to be updated by Czech Germania, so I would wait until the new map comes out. Everyone keeps their slots, so don't you worry, but the numbering system for empty slots will change. If you can't wait, Liruslau's map (available from his dispatch page) is probably the most recent, but you could also use the one on the World Factbook entry for Thalassia. I would wait, as Czech should have it out soon!

Thanks to everyone whos participated in the regional survey! This survey was made to see what we could be doing better for the community, and many of you have approached us with some fantastic ideas! It will stay open for another week or so, so if you havent sent in a response, please consider doing so!
Those of you who dont know what I am talking about- you should have received a telegram from me with a survey for you to take. If you dont have it, it probably means one of two things:
1. You have regional telegrams blocked ([sup]For shame!!![/sup]) meaning you cant receive important updates from us. Certain things arent posted on the RMB to ensure only members of our community can participate.
2. Youre brand new to the region. Welcome! While we value your opinions, most of the questions require you to have some experience with the region. Rest assured, you will be included in the next survey!
Something that was mentioned in the survey- some people dont know we have a discord! The link is pinned on the World Factbook Entry or you can copy the link in the spoiler below. Feel free to pop in and hang out if youd like.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself, Prime Minister Arenado, or any of the other regional officers! Have an awesome day, folks. 😄

On the set of SportsTalk with Matt Buck and Joe Vasgersian
"Welcome back to SportsTalk, I'm Matt Buck!"
"And I'm Joe Vasgersian."
"We have many stories for you tonight, the national soccer team's training, statements from Olympian Chris Wolters and analysis of sports in the Kingdom but first! Baseball."
"Yes, Matt, Baseball is in the air with the Arenado Kings participating in the Regional League. So far, unfortunately, the team has performed pretty poorly, posting a losing record of 8-9 so far. Here is a clip of their latest outing against the Mizeri Pretty Girls at Ashley Benson Stadium."
Kings reliever Jerry Fellman stands on the mound with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 7th inning. The score is 9-10 with the Kings in the lead. Fellman throws a high fastball to Pretty Girls infielder Mercedes Gutiérrez. She makes contact, sending the ball into right field. Right Fielder Chuck McDaniels sprints towards the wall, looking backwards to keep the ball in sight. He turns around and leaps, glove outstretched, as the ball barely misses his glove, bouncing off the wall.
The runners break for home, all of them, including the runner on first. Gutiérrez runs around 2nd base, trying for three. McDaniels gets up off the ground, runs towards the ball, picks it up and throws if mightily towards third. All the runners reach home, making the score 12-10, as Gutiérrez slides into third before Garrett Caldwell can tag her out.
Jerry Fellman stands on the mound, a look of anger on his face. Larry Bichette come out from the dugout, signaling the bullpen, and Fellman's game is over.
"The Kings lost the game 12-10 to the Pretty Girls. Let's hope the rest of their season goes better! Next week they will face the Mizeri Pretty Girls, the Ban-Ur Batters and the Time da B. In other news....."

"Last week the Zingers faced off against the Time da B, losing both their games against them, but fared much better against the Nationific Naturals winning 75% of their games! They also played against their top rival, the Badi Beaks, and won, in a spectacular game, with a home run by Costa Caspa being the highlight of the night. Next week the Zingers will face off against the Manfoa Matas, one of the star teams, the Cat City Clawzz, and the Nonadia Parrots. Let's go Zingers!"

Hello, everyone! I'm happy to announce that the RP Guide dispatch is complete. Included in it is a sort of tutorial for new nations getting into Thalassian RP, as well as our official role play rules and map. I'd like everyone who wants to participate in role play to read this dispatch over, as some changes have been made to the old system, including a requirement for every nation to TG a Stat Distributor (currently I'm the only one) with a link to their stat dispatch. If you've already received your official RP stats and put them in a dispatch, just telegram me a link to that dispatch when you can. Additionally, because the map is officially released and will actively be updated, map applications are open again. The map on the RP Guide dispatch will be updated weekly.

H -Good morning.
M -Blèsjk.
P -So I heard Zeneslav just came back from their matchup against the Whistling Peaches. Can you tell us anything about that?
H -Yes, well, it was a bit of a disappointment. We lost most of our games this week, putting us now at 64% of total tames, but we're still keeping our head up high. It was a really fun time.
M -Really fun. I've been following the team since they started and every game has been a blast. They were a powerhouse when they started and even the games they didn't win... Well K***a they still had smiles on their faces.
P -Sir, I'd like to remind you this is a family program.
M -Sorry.
H -We don't really know what awaits us, if we have more games scheduled or not, but this was really fun. It was a chance to stretch our legs and get out there and show the world that Zeneslav is a force to be reckoned with.
P -And what a force it was. The Ministry of the Economy says that sales from tourism and tickets have provided a reasonable boost to the country's economy, which took a sharp dive recently when the Prime Minister enacted the blah blah blah...

[spoiler]"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to another wonderful day for Thalassian Baseball. Our team, the Highwaymen have finally broken a bizarre and unprecedented run of sixteen home games in a row. How does that feel Tom?"
"It feels great, it is nice to finally get out and about. My wife is certainly happy about it!"
"I understand her pain. Today we are in beautiful Manafoa to see the first of a two game series against the Matas. There are a few age-old links between these two teams so it should be hotly contested."
"And this is an excellent arena, it shows what Veylar Field could be with a bit of love and attention"
"How have you seen the week so far Tom? The team are picking up wins but is it fair to say that they're not doing it with much flair or production?"
"We literally saw a 1-0 win against the Slands - that should tell you what you need to know - but credit where it is due. We played eight games in a row against a good team and, despite it being tied up at 3 - 3 six games in, these players found a way to finish off the series strong."
"True. I have been looking at the roster ahead of these games. Thalassian League rules for our players now in these two games. Logic says this should put them at a disadvantage but ..."
"... these pitchers can't bat? My thoughts exactly"
"You're finishing my sentences now? I might have more in common with your wife than I thought...
But exactly that, the offensive production is going to come from Adam and Mejia, plus any other batters that step up today."
"I couldn't agree more, and I've been calling for the team to bring in more versatile pitchers. The sooner they do the quicker they can push on from being a middle-of-the-pack team to challenging at the top"
"Okay, lets head down to the field for Highwayman versus the Matas. This is week 4, day five of Thalassian baseball. Strap in folks..."[/spoiler]

Hello! Check out this dispatch if you havent already.
The best things to do (in my opinion) are to head over to the Discord and apply to join a Ministry - https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=1260744

Why did I miss this dispatch?
Perhaps because there's such (what do I say...) situations in varying degrees all over the world? Perhaps many influential countries are using their influence to promote intolerance?
I don't mean to criticise anyone, but come on, we'd be living in an Orwellian 'system' in a few years from now if we, the anonymous, random people behind the flags don't try to stop such trends...
