Region: The Mystical Council
Just to make sure i dont forget, Merry Christmas to all of you!
Forestavia, Alistia, New Bacon, Malcholm
I actually would approve of that. Forest has a proven track record, so as long as he says such nation is legitimate, I will be fine trusting that without knowing where said nation's WA is.
On another related note.
I have added some policies to my election dispatch proposal https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=743586
I would like people to review it, give some ideas about amendments, or suggest other things to add.
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Yeah, I'd be happy to help out the WA nations who do not want to reveal the location of their WA. They can talk to me about it and once verified they can be free to vote.
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Great.
[nation=short]Malcholm[/nation] and [nation=short]Teurs[/nation] we will need your aid on writing a bill and requirements defining a citizen.
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Ummm. I have something in the constitution specifically defining that. Other than that Kerry Christmas everyone!:)
Alistia
WA nations? I am supposed to have one of those? Oh, wait, I do.
[nation=short]The Irish dictator of the beare-more[/nation], I don't mind revealing it.
Alistia
Oh, wait.
[nation=short]the irish dictator of the beare-mor[/nation]

I'll put a pin in that and write something up tomorrow.
Unless you've got a draft you can show us, we might need something sooner than later.

[B]ELECTIONS ARE DONE![/B]
I sent you all the election results, it's been great organizing this.
Lastly, after processing this name ministry poll: https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=78089 It has been a tie between these following titles:
[B]Minister of Defense[/B]
and
[B]The Glorious and Mighty Defense Minister of Military Gameplay Affairs[/B]
[nation=short]Alistia[/nation] since the position will go to you, you get to pick one of those two names.
Merry Christmas y'all.
Malcholm
[B]The Mystical Council Elections Schedule and Policies (Proposal) has finally been finalized![/B]
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=743586
The dispatch includes
1. Dates and schedules.
2. Poll templates, including a general definition of each office within the candidacy polls templates.
3. Rules and regulations relating to the elections.
Alistia
Merry Christmas everybody!
Alistia
Remember, no active/passive distinction? WA membership is sometimes limited because of out-of-game circumstances and that shouldn't translate to degradation inside a game that is considered an escape from the real world (how can you escape when you are constantly reminded of your real life because of your status in the region?). This shouldn't be allowed to happen. Also, only WA members can really have a chance of invasion and change in the region so honestly it doesn't make any sense to degrade non-WA members even further if they are no threat to the region?
Like out? Someone not having an email? What is this, 1992? XD
The only circumstances limiting a person from not being in the WA AT ALL, is if they got banned by the moderators from joining. This is very rare to be honest, and we are unlikely to see. Most often I have seen the mods ban such person's IP address and delete their nations, rather than simply ban them from the WA. Nonetheless, if such rare occasion presented itself, and someone here had that happen to them, this can be dealt with on a case by case scenario after we discuss the matter with the person and the circumstances surrounding their ban.
Lastly, their is only 1 circumstance that stops a person from having a WA in our region, is obviously if their WA is elsewhere. In this case the person can either share the location of the WA with the rest of the region, or just the founder if the information is sensitive, who will then vouch for them, and their vote can be counted. This is the case with me right now for example.
Now if there is another circumstance that comes to mind, do share it.
And how would you know that they are not a threat?
As of now, there is absolutely nothing stopping 1 person from joining our a region with a bunch of non-WA puppets, and having all these puppets fraudulently voting for something. I.E: Allowing 1 person to have more than 1 vote.
This election I was the person responsible on overseeing the process. Now the truth is, I cannot be 100% sure that each and every vote made was made by 1 person and not 1 person using more than 1 nation. What I am certain of however that if that has happened, then it didn't not affect the final election results.
This however has more to do with luck than my detective work of trying to discern what is a legitimate vote and what is not. This problem had happened to us in past, and we weren't always lucky as we were this election.
So this issue of fraud is a very serious issue that we face, but if you have another better solution to tackle it, I'm all ears.
Alistia, Malcholm
Alistia
I am announcing the creation of the Reigning Sentagon Party.
Just to ask but you are aware that the region has a fraud act that defines who can and cannot vote I belive?
Personally I would rather abolish it and have a citizens act that's a lot more simplified etc or simular to the one SA has should I say
Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah!
Thanks to everyone who voted, it is greatly appreciated.
I've been busy and still have to catch up on the recent posts. :)
Alistia, Malcholm, Sanctine
To be honest with you I don't remember, is it this?
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=688663
I had to find that by googling "The Mystical Council Fraud"
I think it has some pretty good points but it probably needs a bit of makeover. This also brings another issue that we sometimes create laws and proposal dispatches... and then they get lost into the unknown.
[nation=short]Forestavia[/nation] it would be great if you can create a master record dispatch as Oak, that has links to all our regional laws dispatches. I ask you to do this because you're the most permanent fixture of the region.
Alistia, Parakka Northland
Yeah, I have to update the info center. I'm going to try to get to that soon. Sorry guys, I've been a little busy. If anyone has proposals just send me a telegram with a link and I'll start putting a dispatch together.
Alistia, Parakka Northland
I know. The problem with the info center is that it contains a lot of information. So updating is a hassle, and as a result it doesn't get updated often. A master record law dispatch however would be something very simple and you can update it very easily. Just a list of law dispatch names and a link to them, without further explanation.
Now technically it would be this thing https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=454436 but this thing is too fancy, and when something is too fancy, it only gets updated once every blue moon.
So I'm thinking something that's no more than:
1. FRAUD Act (link)
2. Embassy Protection Act (link)
3. Citizen Act (link)
4. Constitution (link)
.
.
.
Just something super simple that can be updated quickly and frequently. The links themselves would then lead to dispatches that are written by their respective authors, in which they are fully detailed.
Malcholm, Parakka Northland
I thought we were having two judicial seats being elections?

Well now we know why your environment is an ugly piece of sh!t according to NS surveys. Don't worry, at least your lands are not infested with celery and sexual predators.
Forestavia, Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland, Rondaland, Viva Italia
Weeeeell, we just did with what we had. Nonetheless, next month we will fill the seat.
Speaking of which, within few hours I will be putting up an approval poll of The Mystical Council Elections Schedule and Policies proposal: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=743586
As I mentioned before, the proposal includes:
1. Dates and schedules.
2. Poll templates, including a general definition of each office within the candidacy polls templates.
3. Rules and regulations relating to the elections.
This was dispach by which this election season was followed as a test run, and I believe everything went smoothly. I hope the region approves of it as a future standard.
Lastly, [nation=short]Alistia[/nation] make sure to make your position pick between Minister of Defense and The Glorious and Mighty Defense Minister of Military Gameplay Affairs before January 1st.
Would anyone be interested in putting together this dispatch? I've been busy-slash-lazy lately. I don't mean to be a slacker founder but I'd be interested in using a lifeline if I've got them. Maybe I could phone a friend or we could ask the audience. ;)
Most of my NS time has been spent on RP and there's not enough time to do other stuff.
Anyone? Lifeline? Who's interested in more responsibility 'round here?
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
*Carefully pulls a brick out of volcano with tongs*
There we go. Nice n' hot. Bring out the next sacrifice! Hehehehe
Alistia, Parakka Northland, Viva Italia
Sounds like something [nation=short]viva_italia[/nation] should handle ;)
Alistia, Parakka Northland
I'd be willing to.I can start in the New Year.
Alistia, Malcholm
Like my [B]new[/B] flag?
Forestavia, Parakka Northland
Thank you! :)
Malcholm
I like the way the eye looks on the eagle. It's kinda crazy looking.
Alistia
I choose neither of those.
You brought back the old forestavian islands flag i see.
*Drives down street really fast*
*Fires shots at [nation=short]Gyuamno[/nation]*

Malcholm, Rondaland
on another note it looks like lampar raided our old military regions
Malcholm, Rondaland
Ive been trying to increase my environmental beauty for months :/
Forestavia, Malcholm
I'm surprised you remember that. I usually cycle through the same flags.
Rondaland
Weeeeeeeeeell then. [nation=short]Parakka_Northland[/nation]/[nation=short]Forestavia[/nation], come January 1st one of you will have to assign [nation=short]Alistia[/nation] his new office with powers over Border Control and Communications. I guess you can pick whether to call his office Minister of Defense or The Glorious and Mighty Defense Minister of Military Gameplay Affairs
Forestavia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Down with the establishment!
Lord knows if you didn't try things might have been better.
If you actually check your environmental beauty on the region survey option, your nation isn't just bad, it's literally the worst.
Malcholm
my health isnt bad at least.
[nation=short]mugwop[/nation], should I include information on our regional military in the WFE?
Alright! The deed is done.
My watch has ended as the elections overseer.
Y'all can remove my position now.
Malcholm
Well I'm not the person to ask but it seems like a good idea to me.
Alright.
Well uhh.... That escalated rather quickly.
R.I.P.

Post by Fascist Serpulovka suppressed by Alistia.
And exactly why was I removed?
[nation=short]Alistia[/nation] what can you tell us about those two newcomers?
What do you want to know?
Well I don't think you randomly banned them. I agree that there was something fishy about them, and I highly doubt that they were not puppets, but do you know anything else about them, maybe their main nations?
I dont know their main nations, but i had information told to me from an ally, and i had a hunch already.
Both of those nations are the same person here, if you want to talk more about it ill go in discord.
One of the nations also just posted this: https://www.nationstates.net/region=kaiserreich/page=display_region_rmb?postid=23108161#p23108161
Malcholm
Good call. You will make a good Glorious and Mighty Defense Minister of Military Gameplay Affairs.
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
[nation=short]Fascist Serpulovka[/nation] if you are just a puppet of another nation in the region then just say so on that nation.
Back from the hell that is school
Alistia, Malcholm
Hmm. This region doesn'e seem Bolshevik-ish.
But anyway, [nation=short]Gyuamno[/nation] won, so we know what that means.
*Forcibly shoves 2 cookies down [nation=short]Gyuamno[/nation]'s throat*
Gyuamno, Alistia, Malcholm
I'm almost offended.
Us? Bolsheviks?
*glances around*
I'm not really seein' it.
Alistia, Parakka Northland
Has there been a purge?
Post by Lampar 4 suppressed by Alistia.
I see that the Council is having a troubling time with some of the minority groups.
Most of the blame is falling onto the hands of [nation=short]alistia[/nation]. I don't think it helps that he has declared war as well.
Your region is going to be under attack from your minority groups and enemy forces. Surely this war will not last for long.
Two very suspiciously puppet nations attempted to infiltrate our region. They were removed. The end.
Yeah man, war is coming. So many Bothans have already died, but we did secure the plans for the Death Star so I think everything will turn out fine.
Gyuamno, Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Is this RP?
Would you like to elaborate a little more on your various points. Such as minority groups, [nation=short]Alistia[/nation] declaring war and who these enemy forces are?
Alistia, Malcholm, Truxol
Nah he's just over exaggerating something very small yet obvious.
Alistia, Malcholm
War is already here.
No, we wish.
The minority groups: such as fascists, and I'm guessing the Bolsheviks were a minority group until something happened. [nation=short]alistia[/nation] declared war on me, and has now brought your region into a new war that will end with your demise.
Many people here know my capabilities including your founder, and I really would like you to reconsider your choice, but you will have consequences either way.
We are in the middle of said war at the moment, so be ready.
Yeah man, totally.
The pillars of The Mystical Council will be crushed, beneath the sins of the mortals, who dared cross the paths of the righteous and mighty. The walls of this region will crumble and fall. The armies of the heavens, will descend upon this forsaken places. The fires will be waged upon the council, and from the ashes, a new order shall rise, that will shake the foundation of this world. All will tremble in fear and horror.
Is this dramatic enough for you all? If anyone is intrested to add to the dramatic reading, please do so.
Alistia, Malcholm, Truxol, Parakka Northland
RIP Carrie Fisher.
Nucerea, Alistia, Malcholm, Truxol
I think you missed the part where TMC has been anti-fascist for months.
http://i.imgur.com/OItnWGv.png?fb
Yeah, I remember that last "war" you staged here. Gotta say, this is the sort o joke that's only funny the first time.
Alistia, Parakka Northland
The Mystical Council allowed for the refuge of the fascist nation that has begun your demise. He has begun the rumor that your region has been overtaken by bolsheviks and seeking assistance by stronger regions to take it. Does that sound anti-fascist?
Alistia was the one that declared war. Don't look to me. I gave him a chance to stop it, but he proceeded further.
Greetings from New Britain!
Gyuamno, Malcholm
You would be greatly lost in our conversation.
I recommend staying away from it...but there is no way of staying away from what is about to happen.
The end is neigh! The demons of years past, will consume this land! And The Mystical Council shall mourn the day it came to be.

Hi there pal.
Malcholm
This is horrible. Absolutely horrible. I can't quite believe this happened. Truly a tragic loss.
Alistia, Malcholm, Viva Italia
Indeed.
I will no longer be speaking, as I am the enemy.
Yeah man, we're all terrified.
Gyuamno, Forestavia, Alistia, Malcholm
You declared war on this nation months ago as i proved some weeks back.... Now as you said in the following post:-
you are the enemy and as Delegate i will be issuing a temporary ban subject to being ordered by the Lunar Council to have the ban lifted. Now begon and dont come back please unless you have celery to offer the false god of [nation=short]Mugwop[/nation]
Forestavia, Alistia, Malcholm, Truxol
I have no clue about this boleshevik ir minority fascusts thing tbh, think its just some puppet nation wanting kaiserreich to fight us, and someone contacted cuba about it aswell.
Forestavia, Malcholm, Truxol, Parakka Northland
I went over and asked them to ignore him, albeit politely. I hop the message got through.
Forestavia, Alistia, Parakka Northland
Welcome to TMC :) we've but begun a stint of downtime from politics, so feel free to do whatever you like!
Parakka Northland
So has anyone any suggestions for what the official residence of the Viceroy should be?
He should live in Timbuktu ofcourse!
Okay so here's a thing that's absolutely baffling me.
Star Wars, Episode VI. I vividly remember there was a scene when they show holograms for Death Star 2, Admiral Akbar also shows a hologram comparing it size with the size of the previously destroyed original Death Star.
I went over the footage today to see the reference again, that scene was not there. I looked up online, found nothing. Am I hallucinating? Has there ever been a scene in Star Wars showing holograms of the two Death Stars being compared in size?
Malcholm
I'm sure there was in was a scene where he shows the new death star not sure about the comparison
I don't remember the exact dialogue but from what I recall it was in this scene http://i620.photobucket.com/albums/tt285/nDuTwan/EndorRebel.jpg
The part that is in my memory but not in the movie, is Akbar saying something a long the lines of "this was the original Death Star" then he proceeds to show a hologram of the original, then he says "and this is the new Death Star base" then he proceeds to show a much bigger hologram next to it of the partially complete Death Star II.
I have a very vivid memory of this scene, but I just can't find it. Am I losing it?
This is Mandela effect isn't it?!
Malcholm
No no, I'm talking episode VI. With Death Star II. I remember a scene with Akbar comparing holograms of the new Death Star and the original one.
Oh.Actually I do remember that scene in it.Maybe it got cut out of newer versions.
I looked at 5 different versions of the movie now, including an old original cut and the famous fan made Despecialized version, none contain holograms of the old and new Death Star side by side.
I think I am losing my mind.
This is exactly like when I was told that he never said "Luke, I am your father"
Alistia
Alistia IS the death star.
We might need a death star on our side to prepare for the coming "war".

What have I missed this region changes way to much.
Malcholm
If I'm correct it was decided by the lunar council some time ago that you were to be banned from the region, correct?
Yes but the ban was lifted I have my ways... I ain't here to exercise my schemes anymore. How are you?
Can I ask when the ban was lifted and by who? I don't mind if it has been lifted so long as it's been done legitimately so. I'm good thanks you and yourself?
Alistia
I'm good thanks... It was by exotic lemon idk how long ago but it was a while ago.
Parakka Northland
All my accounts were banned the deal was I could bring back one I chose this one so all my others are still banned.
Parakka Northland
Lemon is no longer with us so your statement cannot be verified at all and holds little weight. My own recommendation however is that you should be allowed to stay on parole, but shenanigans will not be tolerated at all.
Shenanigans are of course the root of all evil.
Alistia, New Bacon, Malcholm, Everloyal, Parakka Northland, Viva Italia, Sanctine
Yes and I am the root of all shenanigans... But I'll make an exception others could probably verify lemons actions.
