Dang they got stopped by some fendas 😂 must have done like a 60second trigger 😫 they need to git gud 👍😭
Gyuamno, Malcholm, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
we were never raided, or attempted to be raided with me in control though
makes you think ;)
Alistia, Terran Flux
In fairness, you were in power for like a day
Gyuamno, Terran Flux
shhhhhh i would suppress this post if i could!
:P
Terran Flux
That statement would be better applied to myself. Just saying :)
Gyuamno, Alistia
Alistia, Malcholm, Exotic Lemon
i was joking, but we also had the founder account when you were the delegate so they didn't even bother.
i think it's more fun without a founder. we get to fight for control occasionally and actually use our defense plans :D (maybe we should start strengthening our defense system, and maybe foreign affairs can look into building relationships with defender regions)
what's the point of having a defense department when the founder literally can just nuke everyone without worrying about influence points :/
good work [nation=short]Forestavia[/nation]!
Alistia, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
I was referring to my last reign as delegate before Alistia took over. I agree with forming ties with defence organisations. The Regional Alliance still has its door open for TMC we every agree to join.
Gyuamno
Which reign? (I know you mean your most recent) You have been delegate like 7 or 8 times
Parakka Northland
I gotchu bb,
Lemon bb sorry
Gyuamno, Alistia
LMAO im dead.
we love you [nation=short]Exotic Lemon[/nation] <3
Alistia, Exotic Lemon
yes maybe we should revisit the Regional Alliance since now it would serve a purpose rather than just joining an alliance just for the sake of joining.
also maybe we should have some sort of law or give the defense minister the authority to eject obvious puppets. [nation=short]Exotic Lemon[/nation] knew days in advance who the puppets were and could have prevented it. but if he ejected them people would be screaming "abusing powers they did nothing wrong!21121!!111!1 give them a trial before u kick them!111!!1321542365"
Alistia, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
There is a 3 way tie for the delegacy
Terran Flux
Cus new bacon and parakka unendorsed me
Gyuamno
told you its the TMC elite!
Alistia
Can ole' truxxy here get some endorsements?
Alistia
im insulted I am the fourth person you thought to endorse.
foolish to think we were friends :(
Terran Flux
I just went off alistia's endo list and officers
Gyuamno
oh phew you broke my heart for a hot minute. i knew youd never do that to me bb ;)
Alistia, Terran Flux
*slips you a hallmark card, you open to find a winking marx saying "i'd wait in a bread line for you"
Gyuamno, Forestavia
Only because you became fire chef (Which apparently grants you all the powers possible). If you didn't have that position you would still have my endorsement
Forestavia
If that isn't love then idk what is
Terran Flux
Well, I can tell you love is a 4-letter word.
where is my pizza, i ordered hours ago
Terran Flux
Was it the order with the Large handtossed MeatZZa? For delivery?
Terran Flux
yes, im starving hurry up
Terran Flux
Yeah, about that, I was starving too.
:o
I hate u
Terran Flux
You know you love me.
Terran Flux
[nation=short]alistia[/nation] I know this sounds like a power grab but maybe he isn't wrong. I have a complete list and I will give it to any member of tmc who asks. Maybe instead of me we give it the border guards or something. They aren't exactly hiding well. Almost all are inactive, and half have the default flag and answered the first 4 issues to make it seem like they are new.
Gyuamno, Alistia, Terran Flux
Actually the "fire chef" is [nation=short]mugwop[/nation]. The fire chief is [nation=short]alistia[/nation]
Gyuamno, Terran Flux
I would agree to grant the defense ministry more powers, i first hand know the limitations.
I would like to look over the list, and we need to develop a certain definition of 'obvious', as i think i contest that a couple people on the list are non puppets. But once we sort that out i would vote in favor of extending your powers in that way.
I was against the position being created in the first place and didn't even realize i was listed as a candidate in the poll lol.
I still think we should be as strong endorsement wise as possible, seeing that we are a raid target (since tbh tried to raid us), but of course the freedom to endorse whoever you want is one of our regions highest held values.
Gyuamno, Forestavia, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
It doesn't have to be me. If the people of tmc find this is a power grab, I will resign and ask someone else take over. I think the defense minister needs more power though
Gyuamno, Forestavia, Terran Flux
gosh lemon all you want is power

I just got tired of the delegacy changing I have nothing against you...
With oak not being revived the delegacy shouldn't change too much right now. Nationstates has regulations on how long a delegate can appoint border control officers; I restored the Government then [nation=short]parakka_northland[/nation] took over and now it's you [nation=short]alistia[/nation].
Alistia
Woah [nation=short]parakka_northland[/nation] is the second most influential now. You surpassed [nation=short]illfated[/nation] Parakka.
Alistia, Parakka Northland
Wow cool :)
Alistia, New Bacon
Hey everyone, how long has someone been impersonating me on Discord? I joined a few days ago under my alt name Viking Militia.
Terran Flux
Imagine my surprise when I find someone with the name exotic lemon there. That is NOT me.
Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
thats sketchy.
when you click their profile does it give a different name?
Terran Flux
You where in the discord once before a long time ago.
Are you sure that isn't your old account?
Terran Flux
I nominate [nation=short]gyuamno[/nation]
Gyuamno, Forestavia, Terran Flux
I nominate [nation=short]Barishmacht[/nation]. I have seen some of his RP stuff; I recall one that involved the tragic story of brother-sister incest among members of a royal family. It's pretty good.
Forestavia, Alistia, Exotic Lemon
Hmm. Minister of Culture.....hmm...
Alistia
Thanks! Appreciate it. 👌

POWER!!! Power 4 Lemon means power 4 the people!
Gyuamno, Alistia, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
[I]...In a darkly lit room, the Guardians gathered to discuss the situation. Some spoke of stability to prevent changing the Viceroy too frequently. We must maintain order they would say. Others spoke of too much power in the hands of too few questioning whether this powerful Fire Chief should also serve as Viceroy. No matter what happened, the Guardians would always have their say...[/I]

"Yeah, I heard the screen turned black? This should light it back up."
Alistia
No. It definitely is NOT me. I repeat it is NOT me nor has it ever been me.
Gyuamno
I will stand with [nation=short]alistia[/nation]'s delegacy. No need to put me on the spotlight.
Alistia, Terran Flux
Make a factbook on what power increase your ministry needs so we can poll it after the canidate and election polls
Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
every1 wants to be like lemon you should be flattered
New Bacon, Terran Flux
*The ministers slowly start becoming inactive*
Gyuamno, New Bacon
Then execute them!!! Starting with me!

If we cut lemon... do we get lemon juice?
I support this, Defense Minister needs the authority to act on threats without fear of backlash from the region.
Exotic Lemon
Nice.
I keep CTEing but that was my last time
Gyuamno, New Bacon, Exotic Lemon
Has it really been 100+ days :0
Gyuamno, New Bacon
Ministers are to have 2 office powers. If you want appearance then you need to give up 1 office powers. Alternatively, you can request that all ministers be granted 3 office powers.
As to this:
"I believe that without oak, the defense minister has the right to eject or temporarily banject suspected sleepers."
If the only thing that you have is your suspicion and not a solid proof, then you need to pass that with at least two judges of the Judicial Branch before acting on suspicions.

Hi all,
[URL=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=818815]Read all about it at The NewsStand![/URL]. New titles: Regional News and the Daily Reconian. And new editions of OEU Today, The Force Flyer, and Hell's Bells!
FYI, the TMC news has been moved to the 'outdated' section, as we haven't had an update for a few months. Let me know if it gets revived. Thanks!

The 2 powers isnt a law
Gyuamno, Terran Flux
was going to say that too, never heard that one before.
+1
Alistia, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
True, it's more of the agreed upon government system; regardless, it just won't be fair that one minister has more office powers than the other ministers. Everyone should have the same number of powers.
I think Minister of Defense and Minister of Domestic Affairs should both have appearance added to their powers, and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Culture should both have polls added to their powers.
Alistia, New Bacon, Terran Flux
Was it agreed on? If it's not a law it can't be enforced.
No it's not a written law, but out of fairness, all ministers should have the same number of powers. Speaking from my own experience, it was an inconvenience for me when I was Minister of Domestic Affairs and I wanted to add bulletin in the WFE about some poll or so. I used to have to telegram someone with appearance powers to do so and so. So I understand where Lemon is coming from, and I would say that then it's probably a good idea to give all ministers 3 powers.
Exotic Lemon
Hi all, we're fishing again this weekend if you want some time off from politics!
Gyuamno, New Bacon, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
I can no longer stand with the 2 power verdict. 2 powers is worthless. I will not give up either power, so I guess that means I will do nothing. You also conveniently cut off the rest of the quote, the part saying that I am willing to work with people on defining "suspicious". I don't want to offend you [nation=short]mugwop[/nation], nor do I think any less of you for stating your opinion, but I just don't agree with you on this issue.
Either way, it is out of both of our hands now. Let the people decide in a poll
Gyuamno, Alistia, Terran Flux
I planned that if I ever got the delegacy, I would push a law making it three. Am I allowed to write up a proposal, or since I am in the government do I have to be out to suggest laws?
Terran Flux
The ministry's in creation aren't equal in powers though, and this isn't a bad thing.
It wasn't always like that, it changed under someone's delegacy.
I remember every position had appearance, and most positions had polls but then they got removed for some reason.
I do support them having appearance, but saying all the positions are equal in powers is just false.
This might just be me, but I look at the position charged with defending the region as more important then the others.
Gyuamno, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
I support this
Gyuamno, Exotic Lemon
Hey just a quick announcement:
[nation=short]zuthra[/nation] from COO has agreed to a non-aggression pact. He will agree to not attack us and we will not attack him. If you do move over there for some reason, do not endorse anyone. We don't want to mess up his delegates and he doesn't want to mess up ours
Alistia
I like it
Terran Flux
Hey [nation=short]the_immortal_elysium[/nation], how do you feel about The Holy Empire Of The Papa John?
Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
Not as good as it could be.
Gyuamno
I would allow Papa John to slather me in his garlic butter sauce
Terran Flux
Papa would hook me up with all The Meats pizza I need
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
YOU AINT PAPA
Terran Flux
I know. Neither are you allowed to touch any of this pizza.
*flips cart back over*

Terran Flux
*pulls curtain back*
*reveals more pizza*
Terran Flux
o_o
Terran Flux
None for you. I'm going to bed, and if I see a single pizza missing, you will go into the cage.
Forestavia, Terran Flux
maybe being put into a cage is what i want
;)
Forestavia, Terran Flux
Well, then I'll put you in a box.
Forestavia, Terran Flux
*gasp*
Forestavia
Heyy
New Bacon
First, my apologies on missing "I know this seems like a lot of power for one minister to have (we can add checks and balances like delegate approval or something)." I honestly missed that. It was late at night when I read it, but as long as you got a checking process, yeah I'm all for it.
As to the matter of office powers, my main concern is not that everyone should have 2 office powers. My main concern is that everyone should have the same number of office powers. So why not push for every minister having 3 office powers?
Explain to me how the minister of defense having 3 office powers while the others have 2, is a better idea than all the ministers having 3 office powers?
And it's not just a question of "fair" it is a question of the ministers having the proper powers to do their duties.
As I said before, just as you find it limiting right now to not have appearence powers, it was extremely limiting to me as Minister of Domestic Affairs to not have appearence powers. Likewise I imagine that the postion of Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Culture would greatly benefit from having poll powers, to gather opinion on our international relations, and on activity to have in the region.
So if you agree with that notion, push for all ministers having 3 office powers. This way you get to fix ALL 4 ministries, instead of just 1.
