Region: The Mystical Council
I thought maybe this region was strong and ready take off and do great things, but maybe (taking a look at the darker side of things), we could be witnessing the death of our region. Every region goes through cycles. Maybe it's TMC's time. We had a good run. But there's good news! TGHI was certified most likely to become The Mystical Council so maybe we should all move over there! ;)
Malcholm, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
I have one for you:
Once upon a time, it was dark and rainy, flashy and stormy. It was night before Halloween. An old man creaked the chair and the chair creaked the floor boards. And he said, "Itsa bout time for those zombies to crawl out of my basement." So he got up from the creaky chair and creaked his way over to the basement door.
He opened it.
And then he said in the creepiest voice, "Halloween's tomorrow. Time to wake up and fetch me some fresh blood." The wailing began as the zombies came to life, slowly. Painfully. They were hungry....
Malcholm, Terran Flux
Maybe COO could be Runner up ;)
I don't think they were certified. ;)
Malcholm, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Hmmm. Who is the person who certifies these regions?
I don't know. But did you know that you are the first nation in this region to ever get banned by the Founder, Prime Minister, and Minister of Defense within a span of two weeks? You should make some friends and form some alliances and [I]fast[/I]. Might come in handy.
((correction Defense.))

THE SECESSIONIST STATE OF GYUAMNO VOTES IN FAVOR
Southern Forestavia, Parakka Northland
Elect me as supreme chancellor. I will run this region like Winston Churchill in 1940.
Malcholm, Southern Forestavia, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
*cough*Minister of Foreign Affairs (me) doesn't have Border Control*cough*
Malcholm, Southern Forestavia, Terran Flux
If you stick with TMC long enough, you might be lucky enough to see it crumble and rise again from the ashes. We'll could start from scratch, with you as supreme chancellor.
Gyuamno, Terran Flux
Thanks, you just saved me. Thank God for editing. I'll take care of that right now. Sorry about that.
Terran Flux
But we've got to get rid of all this pie-slinging nonsense first.
Malcholm
Is that a threat from TMC to The COO?
Do u want to build a wall?
Malcholm, Civilisunio
No....
Civilisunio
No, but I’m speculating here but I don’t think people much care for COO (or whatever it stands for)
Civilisunio
Can someone else please run against Civ for PM! If he becomes PM then we might as well kiss the region good bye. I’m sure we all remember what he was like as delegate? Not to mention he likes to raid affiliated/loosely affiliated regions all in the name of COO.
Thinks resigning might have been a mistake looking at who the only candidate is atm
Alistia, New Bacon, Civilisunio
Chill out parakka. Its been almost a year since I was delegate. I'm a different person and I have no intent to take tmc. I have no bad blood with y'all.
A leopard cannot change its spots. As such I doubt you have changed much.
Gyuamno, Alistia, New Bacon
No problem taking Warzone TMC tho!
LOL!
Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Seems harsh to ban alistia, but he should be punished for messing up the poll
Alistia
hey you big wigs on capitol hill, what are we doing for the zombie invasion? you folks should be planning!
Malcholm
I am thinking just let everyone make their own decision
That isn't TMC. Did I say I wasn't going to raid a region thats meant to be raided? Also, I didn't raid Warzone tmc. The Colonies Did.
Thats appearance wise. You can't zip in to my head nor do I expect you to be able to. I'm just asking that you try not to live in the past. It is the present already and if you spend too much time dwelling on what I've done before you will get left behind.
U making fun of the Baconian capitol!!!!!?
you're kidding, right? if i raid COO with Capitalist Gyuamno that wasn't me, that was the capitalists!
you have separation issues brother, you come here to ask if you can advertise your own region. like boy bye.
Alistia, Terran Flux, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
not at all, i hope the Baconian Capitol has a building made from bacon.
New Bacon, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
Well. I would be mad but it wouldn't make me mad if you raided a non official region that i had a puppet in. You are blowing this way out of proportion. It's not like I even took the delegate position. I wasn't even serious about it or I would have sent in a defending squad of nations and took away your roleplay which mind you was already dead.
Southern Forestavia
Sorry, but it's marble. Can't eat marble.
Gyuamno, Civilisunio
I'll run even if it means losing my position as Defense minister
Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Seriously? I've heard some excuses in my time but that's on par of "the dog eat my homework"
Ah its called multi tasking :) but thanks for your concern.
Gyuamno, Civilisunio
The region is saved! You would be a good PM.
Terran Flux
So we can invade COO? Good to know.
What does COO stand for anyway?
Gyuamno, Civilisunio
marble cake?
New Bacon
You can try. We don't have an exec del anyways and not to brag but we do have a fairly good intelligence agency. The Conservative Optimism Organization. Organization of Nations not Regions.
Well, I hope that we can have a mature race. Good Luck.
No worries. Don't want to leave you behind. I know you can be a bit slow sometimes.
Not really, three days is just a slap on the wrist.
Terran Flux, Civilisunio
I have to admit. Civ does have a point here. It is a warzone region after all.
New Bacon
Well, as the Delegate there. I say it is a roleplay region. The only warzone there is between roleplayers. It is not a warzone simply because of its name.
Gyuamno, Southern Forestavia, Parakka Northland
That's true too!
Gyuamno, Terran Flux
Suppose you the optimism part right in the name. As for intelligence agency, I can't help but laugh, got to be the funniest thing I've heard today.
Do does that mean your not going to slander him all over the RMB then or try any dirty tricks like you did when you ran against me for the delegate position?
Running your mouth off again I see. Tut tut same old Civ. Try not to leave when you start losing Yeah?
Gyuamno, Civilisunio

Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
1. Totally Fine. I hope that you laugh as much as your heart desires.
2. Thats very true. I Will try and take an advantage by saying what i would do better but i will not bring his real life or any incidents that have happened between us in to the election.
3. Of course. Why would I leave? I have no where to go anyways. You probably won't hear too much from me this week anyways but I will make time to campaign of course.
1. Will do
2. I'll believe it when I see it
3. Because its what you do if you start to lose. What about COO? Or do I take it from your comment that your region is pretty dead? Maybe that's why you have optimism in your region title?
Gyuamno, New Bacon, Civilisunio
1. Im glad.
2. Ok.
3. Sure. Its not dead but It isn't very active rn. I usually need to do stuff because we don't have capable government officers yet but I haven't recently because of Irl matters and I've, believe it or not been liking it here. :)
The position (which i voted against creating)
Was created because the majority of the region voted yes to making it, fully knowing no doc for its powers existed.
So yes, it is a position in the legit government.
I also fully agree that lemon needs to stop beating around the bush and use the powers invested in him. And he doesnt need to ask anyone permission to do stuff, thats just the type of person he is.
And I dont feel bad at all about destroying the poll.
No law says an officer cant take down a poll, and Parakka, in a rage that the judiciary reversed his unlawful ban, randomly makes a poll which would abolish the govt and give the judiciary all powers I think is just a meme troll poll anyway, so i deleted it. And i would do so again. I am sad he stepped down because i voted for him and I know from SA he's a good leader, but whatever.
Gyuamno, Malcholm
It's what we've done in the past. I suppose we could actually try unifying on a common goal for this Z-Day if we want. I'll put up a poll somewhere where I can so we can get some opinions.
That said, all of my nations that aren't this one will be contributing to cure research alongside the Coalition Against the Blight -- https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=894759
hmu for a discord link if interested.
Terran Flux
I be live your role was to stop fires hence the title?
Anyone can call a vote of no confidence of the government. Even Malcholm said you probably shouldn't have taken it down.
Also i resigned because what's the point in being elected to do a job if you are going to be undermined. I would like to suggest that maybe Exotic Lemon hasn't used the powers for similar reasons for me resigning? Plus he only has what 4 WA endorsements? As such he is probably aware that he isn't in a very stable position. In comparison to his last stint as delegate.
On a positive note thanks for the complements about being a good leader in SA.
Gyuamno, Alistia, Malcholm, Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
That was a dark time. I have been trying to maintain a track of neutrality, but that seems to not be working. I am unsure what to do next, but I think a poll on if fire chief should still exist should be next
Alistia, New Bacon, Malcholm, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
Which doesn't warrant a ban here :P
Alistia, Malcholm
Civilisunio we all know that when you loose something you cry about it and then leave. Parakka Northland has a point. If you loose with dignity I will not have a problem with it.
Alistia, Civilisunio, Parakka Northland
Throwing Gasoline in to the fire I see. Well, I have lost with dignity before. It was after I kicked with dignity that i started to lose with no dignity if that makes any sense.
I want make sure this want impair how you vote. Can we come to an agreement you won't base old opinions and actions on the present me?
Alistia
if Parakka is willing to be prime minister again can we just let him without doing these god damn polls. he was already elected
Alistia, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
He resigned. It sucks, but we're doing it this way because he resigned.
Alistia, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
will post the JC candidacy poll in Mystical Council as soon as I have polls authority
nvm i just revived my nation that was formerly RO'd
Alistia, Terran Flux
Also: RIP our election schedule;
https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=743586
Alistia, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
Already 4 candidates for pm. Nice. We also need a new domestic minister (Malcholm has been doing citizenship stuff right now)
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Abolishing fire chief should be one of the next polls.
Malcholm, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
@HERE
https://www.nationstates.net/page=poll/p=104252
JC Seat 2 Candidacy Poll to replace Illfated. Cast your votes.
Nah 🅱️ i wanna 🅱️ the new fire chief
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
TF for every government position.
K thx
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
It’s ok, this way if I win I get a new mandate, which means I’ll have more of an arguement in future against being undermined over petty stuff :)
That being said it should be down to Exotic Lemon if I was reinstated or a new poll had to take place. As there’s no rules saying that I couldn’t be reinstated if I was willing to serve again.
Terran Flux, Exotic Lemon
Alistia made a copy.
Malcholm, Terran Flux
Nevermind I just found out he made a copy of the Legislative Master Dispatch, but not the schedule 😬
Well, look at it this way, you are overhauling the system anyways.
Malcholm, Terran Flux
statement
Ok I'm sure people would like to know why I left and why I wish to return to being PM?
Well as most know there was a bit of an argument on discord about Civ being banned from the region and having that ban lifted. In hind sight the judical branch made the right decision. However, what has been agreed to some extent is that the process that decision took was perhaps wrong, and should have been formally done.
In addition what broke the camels back was the removal of a poll that would have mostly had failed. Though it did show that others had the ability to undermine the position of the PM.
Now after having a discussion and considering my part in recent events, I fully accept that I should have acted differently and my decision to resign was a hasty one. As such I would like to be reinstated if Exotic Lemon agrees if not then fair enough. As you know I started the regional government reform and I would like to see it to its conclusion if possible.
Now onto a comment Civ made on discord "How can we trust Parakka after he threw in the towel. He has already resigned from this position and now he wants to run for it again? He is very indecisive. Do we want an Indecisive person leading a major branch of our government?
In answer, to this people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. People make mistakes including me and I accept that my decision might very well have been one.
Gyuamno, Alistia, Civilisunio, Exotic Lemon
You weren't supposed to respond to that. It was in quotations because I was saying it in the tone of 2016 Civ. Fair Enough though. I guess I didn't Emphasise that enough. My bad.
Alistia, Parakka Northland
Big daddy gyuamno is running for prime minister if you don't let parakka back!

STATE OF EMERGENCY IN EFFECT FOR NEW BACON
President Climaco has declared a state of emergency for all of New Bacon ahead of the zombie crisis. The zombie crisis is expected to begin around 3pm today. All New Bacon citizens need to be cautious of the zombies out on our public streets. If you are infected please call your local emergency services at *477. The New Baconian Military will be dispatched to watch out for this zombie outbreak. Please AGAIN seek shelter if you can as we are approaching a dangerous situation. If your local government doesn't have fire services the automatic department to respond is The Mystical Council Fire/EMS. Seek shelter immediately!!!
Alistia, Malcholm, Southern Forestavia, Parakka Northland
Do you smell that? That is the smell of doom. Inevitable doom.
Gyuamno, New Bacon, Malcholm, Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
Ah I definitely did miss that part. I’ll have to read the tiny print next time
Civilisunio
Viva is the only hope we have! Viva for Delegate. Be the movement. Feel the movement.
*Hands Parakka a magnifying glass*
Parakka for Mystical Detective!
Terran Flux, Parakka Northland
No good, the glass is missing.... the label says “break glass when in an emergency” haha
Southern Forestavia
I didn't read the label. You need a magnifying glass to read that thing!
It’s ok I had a microscope to hand
Southern Forestavia
This looks like a fun region!
New Bacon, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Hello Welcome to the Mystical Council! Feel free to roleplay and participate in our government as much as you like!!!
Alistia, Malcholm, Teapoticus, Parakka Northland
It is :) hope you enjoy your time here
New Bacon, Malcholm, Teapoticus
Only if you like chaos and destruction. My advice: Get out while you still can. Looks can be deceiving.
Parakka Northland
Um. I'll keep that in mind.
Parakka Northland
Wow, thanks for the warm welcome! :)
I like the freedoms we have here, too.
Alistia, New Bacon, Parakka Northland
This region has a lot of people running for prime minister. Is that normal?
Alistia, New Bacon, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Yes. There is no limit.
Alistia, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
You can even run right now as you are a citizen
Alistia, Malcholm, Teapoticus, Parakka Northland
Maybe during the next election. I want to learn more about the region first
Alistia, New Bacon, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
Post self-deleted by New Bacon.
Yep and frequent changes to the delegate as well
New Bacon, Teapoticus
Seems this is now more relevant to you now New Bacon
I think I like this place, already!
I put you over the top, New Bacon! I made you delegate
Alistia, New Bacon, Parakka Northland
If I were you, I'd just go through the election process again and wait to be re-elected.
I'm so confused. Are we electing a new Prime Minister or are we reinstating the old one?
Alistia, Parakka Northland
A new one, because Parakka Northland who was the prime minister resigned. So we have to go through the election process again as Chief Justice Malcholm stated. This election is to finish out the term of the prime minister. The next election is December. The prime minister and other government officials are elected every quarter.
Alistia, Teapoticus
I was hopping to be reinstated but doesn’t look like that will be happening
Thanks, everything is clear now.
New Bacon, Malcholm
Maybe you could be delegate next. You seem sensible. You're not power hungry, are you?
New Bacon
Maybe, been a couple of months since I was last delegate but nope to answer your question
New Bacon, Teapoticus
Ok, good. I'll keep endorsing you then.
New Bacon, Parakka Northland
Thanks
New Bacon
What's this I'm reading about removal of a poll? New Bacon just send me a telegram with this list of rights. Doesn't 18 protect the polls from being messed with?
Alistia, New Bacon, Malcholm
It says that you must be granted equal treatment at the poll. If you are a verified citizen (which you are because your in the world assembly) you can't be denied to vote.
Alistia, Malcholm, Teapoticus, Parakka Northland
There's a lot to learn here.
New Bacon, Malcholm, Parakka Northland
