Region: The Mystical Council
This isn't even uncommon.
I didn't even see me coming, apparently Im delegate?
As your new delegate, I would like to announce that I do not really want to remain delegate. I was recently delegate for a long time here, and it is time for someone new to rule for a while. I encourage you all to campaign for it, decide if we should be the greater holy isles's colony. Assuming I am not overthrown soon, I will act as delegate until someone replaces me. I will comply with forest's demands for potatoes but will host a poll to see if we should officially be a colony of the greater holy isles. I highly doubt I will stay delegate for long, so as Star Wars Episode III once said "This is where the fun begins".
Malcholm, Oakplumington
We're gonna roast some potatoes over that fire. ;)
Malcholm
I suspect cwt means count. This is a new beginning but one I have no desire to be the delegate for. I was delegate recently and for the longest single term than anyone else in the history of the region, someone else deserves a chance. I will hand over our potatoes and celery but no other healthy food can be touched.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Sounds like a deal, VP. But I think you should help us keep this region under our control. We need you to be a part of this operation. The natives here might get restless after awhile.
Malcholm
As a native, I am restless, but we will see what happens, I will do my best to keep the region stable but I will not stay in power for long. After that, who knows what will happen. Also, it appears a bad reference to Star Wars Episode III is needed, so I will ask you: "Are you threatening me, master Jedi?"
Malcholm, Oakplumington
I only threaten you if you speak of yourself as a native. Your true identity is no longer Exotic Lemon. Lemon is just a sleeper puppet. Your true colors will shine through your main which is Varangian Protectors. In this operation, we are acting strictly in the best interests of the Isles.
Malcholm
If you want someone more compliant to your every command, replace me. If not, I will do what I think is best for both TGHI and TMC
Malcholm
*Thoughtfully rubs chin*
Pssst, Pyrosky, this VP fella's good. I can't tell what side he's on!
Malcholm
I am a 2{4x-6)^4 agent, not a double agent. Plot twist, this was Terran's plan all along
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Oh no!!!!!!!! We played into the Fluxinator's hands! :O What do we do now?
Malcholm
*whispers* Blame someone who had nothing to do with this and say they planned everything!
*Loudly* Hey everyone, look at that Gyuamno dude. They, um, caused all this. Yeah. That.
Gyuamno, Malcholm, Oakplumington
Yes! Big Daddy did it! He started the fire. Fires plural.
Gyuamno, Malcholm
Hey guys, what do you think is the best thing to do about this invasion?
Malcholm, Northern Forestavia
I like how you try to make it sound like you're on their side. Keep up the good work VP! ;)
When they give you suggestions, nod your head approvingly and make them think you're taking their ideas seriously. Then carry on with the occupation. I have a clever idea we can use to prevent uprisings from the colonists. We can hide behind bureaucracy and also use bureaucracy to clamp down on their freedoms. If necessary of course. These colonists seem pretty compliant with the Isles so far, though.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Nothing. It's not like this is going to mean anything or have any real effect in the long run.
Wolflandil, Oakplumington
Hey, was that a challenge? That sounds like a challenge. You're on, buddy. TGHI has a history of conquest. We've left plenty of bodies in our wake--just look at The Epician Islands!
I, Malcholm, the native of TMC, am completely fine with becoming a colony of The Greater Holy Isles. Make me delegate and TMC's future as a colony is secured.
It's 5:30am here so I'm gonna sleep, but expect an official declaration from the Pyroskian governments when I have time tomorrow. If I'm delegate at noon, I'll even write us a constitution.
It's also 5:30am here, so if I don't follow through know that this was done in a sleepless fervor 💁🏽♂️
Edit: It's12:45am Monday morning and Pyro is still waiting on that official declaration to fax through. Did it get sent to the wrong address? We'll find out soon enough.
Oakplumington, Northern Forestavia

Official Happy News Update
I have happy news! In order to cut down on the risks of voter fraud we have decided to restrict voting to only WA nations. Voting is a wonderful opportunity we should never take for granted. The Greater Holy Isles takes pride in preserving some elements of our region's wonderful democratic process. Have a wonderful day! :)
Thank you,
Malcholm
Good afternoon
Wolflandil, Malcholm, Oakplumington
Civvyyyy! He's alive!!!! How are you, Civ?
Malcholm
Depends. Do you unwaveringly support The Greater Holy Isles?
Malcholm, Ancient Whispers
We are in the process of organizing a new government. I could put you back in charge of embassies. I just need to know that you unwaveringly support The Greater Holy Isles. If so, I'll see to it that your application gets placed on the top of the pile.
Edit: I'll also put a good word in for you with the Governor. ;)
Wolflandil, Malcholm
Important Letter to the Governor (leaked to the press accidentally)
Governor Malcholm,
I recently received a "like" in the shape of heart from Wolflandil. Does this qualify as "unwavering support" in your eyes? Also of worthy note, Wolflandil's endorsements are in line with Holy Isles policy. If you believe Wolflandil is qualified, you will find enclosed the application for Wolflandil to retain power over embassies. I feel the title Embassy Affairs Officer would work in this case. Embassy Affairs will be a specialized sub-department overseen by VP, who is our Foreign Affairs Officer. Wolflandil can take some of the pressure off of VP by handling embassies. I still have to talk to VP about whether he prefers Domestic affairs or Foreign affairs better. Things seem to be moving along.
All the best,
- Oak
[spoiler=application]
Wolflandil is qualified, experienced, etc.... bla bla bla... stamps, signatures, and seals galore....so on and so forth etc...
[/spoiler]
Malcholm
Not been keeping an eye on here much. How is everyone?
Wolflandil, Malcholm, Oakplumington
I'm good.
Malcholm
Ahhh yes my plan is coming all together... wait a minute. Damn it Lemon, way to rat me out!
Malcholm, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
[spoiler=♥️]You clicked the heart? Take a hint! Go for it![/spoiler]
Oakplumington
This is the 2nd time TGHI invaded and took over TMC. Yipee
Alistia, Malcholm, Oakplumington
Isn't it wonderful to have Oak alive again?
Malcholm
Wolflandil receives a letter and opens it.
[spoiler]
Good news! Your application has been approved by myself and the Governor. We are all counting on you to find the very best embassies for our region. Good luck on your mission! And thank you for your unwavering support of these Greater Holy Isles!
- Oak
[/spoiler]
Wolflandil, Malcholm
I'm good. And how are you these days?
You might want to start keeping an eye on us. I noticed Solar Alliance is a busy place these days... You never know who The Greater Holy Isles will strike next. We usually go after our allies first. Allies are an easy target because they usually think they're the safe ones....
Malcholm, Parakka Northland

Big Announcement
As of January 28th,
TMC has unanimously voted in favor of the colonization. There was no opposition whatsoever. Congratulations! It's official now.

"Commander Durge III....
The Time has come.

Commander Durge:
"Yes milord, it shall be done..."
Malcholm, Oakplumington
I was wondering how far I could push the envelope before a rebellion happened, haha.
Wolflandil, Malcholm
Not going to lie, I was waiting for it to happen.
Alistia, Malcholm
As Terran Flux has accurately pointed out, our region appears to be looking a little dead these days.
Question for everyone: Should we do something about this "deadness" or should we just taper off quietly into the night? Any ideas? Anyone? Hello? HellOOoooooo?
*Listens to the echo*
Even the echoes sound apathetic.
Alistia, Malcholm
This is a war?!!
Malcholm, Oakplumington
RE: that dispatch you pinned-- I was actually thinking about importing TGHI's Lunar/Solar gov't structure so it could get some field testing. I love the idea of bringing the Lunar Council back, but it can't be the same thing it was. We overthrew that a loooong time ago ;)
Here's my dispatch that briefs the system in TGHI: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=652906
Bcrulez currently serves as both our first seat on the council and the delegate due to our slim numbers, but the idea is pretty much an abridged version of the government we had here at one point. The names could be flipped since this region seems to like the moon better than the sun, but I think it would be a good place to start.
Alista snaps his fingers and you back down? I never realized you were such a push-over, Oak. What happened to defending crown and country through the glory of war? The Greater Holy Isles doesn't fold to weak leadership. Re-instate me as a the Pyroskian Enforcer so that I can show these whipper-snappers what-for.
Alistia, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
An insurrection is more like it 😛
Alistia, Oakplumington
I haven't backed down completely. I was waiting to see if... Yeah, I totally am a push-over. BUT I was hoping VP over there would unendorse Alistia. *Ahem* (Lemon, now is the time to stab to your region in the back. The Isles need you. You're on our side.)
Alistia, Malcholm, Exotic Lemon
It has potential to become the bloodiest war this region has ever seen. But right now it seems like a squirt gun fight. Whose side are you on?
Malcholm
*Sighs*
-4 where I'm at. I'm still awake because I'm worried about my furnace. I turned my thermostat down to 67 just to give my furnace a rest. I even turned on my oven to take some of the pressure off of the system. It's the coldest I've ever experienced! Craziness!
Malcholm
hmmm....
*Sips a Glass of very expensive Wine*
So I missed a few things I see...
Malcholm, Oakplumington
I’m pretty good, got a new job and got a sort of promotion after a month and a bit so can’t complain.
I’ll keep an eye for a couple of row boats then ;)
Alistia, Malcholm, Oakplumington
Even if I unendorsed Alistia, he would remain delegate as he would be tied with Wolflandil, Malcholm, and Lalucia, all with 2 endorsements. Of those three, I think Wolflandil has the most influence so assuming someone else unendorses Alistia and no one else changes any endorsements, Wolf would become the new delegate. I will let you decide if you think Wolflandil will support your cause or not. However, my unendorsement would change nothing unless someone else changes their endorsements.
Alistia, Malcholm, Oakplumington
I will support an elected Leader...
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Excuses, excuses... Who are you really working for VP?
Malcholm, Exotic Lemon
Think back to our days on the battlefield fighting commies and nazis..
Don't betray your Empire Now by supporting the rebellious Malcholm!
Its no fun if you just re-appoint malcholm back every time, let him fight for what he wants!
Lalucia, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Parakka Northland, Exotic Lemon
*Lurks in Wolf*
Alistia, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
I see youre still endorsing old malchie :P
Wolflandil, Malcholm, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
Its not like he's likely to rise to power again, not unless the founder gets two more to endorse him.
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Hey, I take my orders from Pyrosky. The Isles are going to end your reign.
Two? That's all? Shouldn't be a problem. All we need is Lemon's endorsement and we'll be set.
Malcholm
Announcement?
Um... Not sure if this reflects poorly on me as a founder, but uh - we might be getting involved in another war. I approved Siegfried Von Salzgitter's request for embassies. Especially to show our region's support for the war on marsupials. Yes. I know. Another war. So, as a colony of The Greater Holy Isles, we must protect the potato stash from the marsupial menace. Marsupials are very threatening to our potato markets. Actually... I don't even know if marsupials eat potatoes but I'm not willing to take any risks! Ha! Down with the marsupials!
Malcholm
Congrats on the promotion! :)
Malcholm, Parakka Northland
I'm putting forth legislation, I feel the Forestavian government has far too big an influence on Oakplumington. I probose some sanctions
Malcholm, Oakplumington
Sanctions, huh? On who - Forestavia or Oakplumington? Fyi - the government of Oakplumington is co-led by Pyroskian leadership and Forestavian influence. It's in Oakplumington's constitution. If you want a neutral Oakplumington, then you need to know that Oakplumington will only bend its knee to a Neutrality Order issued by a properly elected Lunar Council which satisfies certain specifications.
Malcholm
To show how generous we are as a region, I've decided to grant one of our long-time residents with full powers. Sometimes it's helpful to give the remote to someone new, just to shake things up.
Duabelli, now is your chance to shine! Lead us, for we are a confused people.
Malcholm
Show us the way!
Malcholm
*Holds up glass*
Cheers
Lalucia, Malcholm
Maybe there needs to be an uprising of Oakplumington citizens against the oppressive foreign controlled government
Malcholm, Oakplumington
*Sips coffee*
This is fine.
Pyrosky, Malcholm, Oakplumington
Wasn't this the norm? I'd be surprised if anyone claimed to be surprised.
Wolflandil, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
[I]Gasps dramatically
Oakplumington
I think he's choking on some food but fear not! I know CPR...
*checks for a pulse*
I also have tea available if anyone's interested. Lalucia's wine was a bit too strong for me.
Lalucia, Wolflandil
*Pulse pounds to the tune of Sicko Mode*
Pyrosky, Oakplumington
*sits back and watches whilst eating popcorn*
Lalucia, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
I think Oakplumington would be most displeased with your choice of snack. It is rumored they eat exclusively raw potatoes and celery.
Pyrosky, Oakplumington
The lunar council not exisitng isnt why this region is inactive, is because you killed it from your many, many, many, many, MANY repeated abuses of the region and its citizens.
Seems you STILL haven't learned your lesson. (Oakplumington)
R.I.P @Mugwop
Pyrosky
Ооf
Alistia
We should hold some type of funeral in his honor
Alistia, Wolflandil, Oakplumington
*Smacks bowl of popcorn out of hands*
How dare you eat such a snack at a time like this!! Look! Terran Flux is dying right in front of us and you're eating popcorn?!
Here, have some tasty celery instead.
Wait! He's got a pulse! I think he's gonna be okay. Here, have some of Lalucia's wine. It's potent enough to bring you back to life. Have some celery too. ;)
Lalucia, Pyrosky
And you..... Unendorse Alistia this instant and give me that raw potato. Didn't Pyrosky say 80 million count by next year??? I'll put it in the treasury for safe keeping.
*Snatches potato*
Pyrosky
Abuses? like what? I don't even exist half the time. How can I abuse anyone if I don't even exist?
Lesson? Learn? I'm done with school! First of all the education system is a complete scam. Secondly, I don't know the first thing about how to run a region. This founder thing is beyond me. I don't know how to do it. All I see when I log onto Oak is all these different buttons and switches and levers in the Administration page. I like to see what different buttons do. So there. I've been winging it for the past 4 1/2 years. It's like flying an airplane without any training.
But I do miss Lord Mugwop. *Sigh* The volcanoes still sing his praises. Blessed be our TRUE Lord and Savior, Lord Mugwop, keeper of the ferrets.
Alistia
We should celebrate Valentine's Day. I'm tired of being alone, year after year. But I have you guys! Do you feel loved?
Lalucia, Terran Flux
*Cough
So who should I endorse? Or is it okay if I sit quietly in the corner and enjoy my red wine?
Siburria, Pyrosky, Northern Forestavia, Exotic Lemon
Uh oh. I'm already hearing the cries of the Endorsement Seagulls. I dont think it's safe in the corner.
Lalucia, Siburria, Pyrosky, Northern Forestavia
For the record Forest, that wfe thing about how we "voted". Restricting it to WA members was stupid and invalid way of representing our region in this day and age
Siburria, Pyrosky, Ancient Whispers
No nation or delegate is safe. Run. Run with your endorsements while you can...
Lalucia, Alistia, Wolflandil, Northern Forestavia
Nobody is safe in the corner. So... Plan B. If we can't get Malcholm elected, the next step is to endorse everyone and see what effect that has on the region.
Pyrosky
It's the proper way to run an election. If you don't show your ID, then you shouldn't be able to vote. Just my opinion.
Pyrosky
Okay, I'm bringing the Lunar Council back. This time, it will have zero power. Zero judicial. Zero legislative. Zero executive. Zero. They will be appointed as officers with communications authority only. I am requesting that the Lunar Council refrain from using even this small power out of respect to the actual government.
This way I can finally have something I want without stepping on anyone else's toes. This might actually help bring some life back to the region, too.
Parakka Northland
I formally surrender my former allegiance to The Greater Holy Isles and formally recognize the independence of The Mystical Council on this day February 8, 2019. Northern Forestavia will be leaving within a day or two to return back to TGHI, where it belongs. They ain't gonna be counting our potatoes, that's for sure!
Long Live The Mystical Council!

WA shouldn't be the ID. If you're a citizen you can vote
Pyrosky, Wolflandil
DNO
New Poll!
Please Vote & Debate in the RMB!
P.S. Please also discuss about the best way to put your plan into action.
Oakplumington
You surrendered too soon haha
Pyrosky, Oakplumington, Exotic Lemon
It's fine, you can run the government however you want. I'm going to run the Lunar Council elections how I want. Everyone will be happy. You have control of the real government and I have control of the "fake" government.
Pyrosky, Wolflandil, Exotic Lemon
Happy Singles Awareness (Valentines) day!
Exotic Lemon
Is anyone here interested in basketball sign ups over in The Wolf Clan? Alpha Wolf has invited us to participate. It sounds like it could be fun! :)
edit: Dispatch is pinned up there for those who are interested.
I'll be visiting some old friends over in Solid Kingdom for the next couple of days. The purpose of the mission is to reestablish relations with their people.
Alistia, Pyrosky, Wolflandil
Yet back in the day when i advocated for it, you thought it was the devil.
At least back then we had a good amount of active people, and most of them were WA, and we had exceptions for those that weren't.
That idea isn't viable for the region in its current state.
Pyrosky, Wolflandil, Oakplumington
Yeah, well that was back in the Sentagon days. Such a change would have changed the mechanics of our region's government. But since we got rid of that now your idea is very good. I've warmed up to it.
And we already have our first candidate! Gyuamno has submitted his name for candidacy.
Chancellor- Interior affairs/culture manager of the region. Plans regional events, handles citizenship, and possibly deals with rp. Powers over communication, polls, border control, appearance
*Elected by the people
-------
Exotic Lemon, I'm going to appoint you to the Chancellorship. You've been doing a really good job with keeping our regional history and keeping the citizenship list up-to-date. If I'm challenged on the appointment, then we can have an election for the position.
Lalucia, Alistia, Exotic Lemon
I'm changing some of the titles to match the government dispatch. According to the dispatch Wolflandil should have appearance authority, too. So I'm gonna go ahead and do that.
Edit 2:
Alistia, help me out here. Is Lalucia supposed to be a Marshall, Knight, or a Crowned Prince? I'm trying to line things up with Lemon's dispatch.
Lalucia, Alistia, Wolflandil, Exotic Lemon
Knight i suppose
Lalucia
Thank you, but I encourage others to challenge me. Makes me feel illegitimate if I just get appointed without a regional approval. I was going through some old citizenship registers and realized that Forestavia is technically not a citizen, and Oakplumington is considered an administrative nation and not a citizen, but you can use founder privilege to make yourself a citizen. Also does anyone know who mystical 444 soldier is or why they were banned from here? I presume it is one of oak's accounts but would like confirmation.
Lalucia, Alistia
Okay cool!
I'm not sure who that was but they went to some other region pretending to represent us. They were threatening war so Terran banned them. And rightly so, I might add.
As founder, I hereby use the privilege of granting citizenship to give myself citizenship in the region that I founded. That is a pretty complete circle right there. I love it!
