Stand aside, little Percy! Make way for the most splendid engine on Sodor! Feel free to applaud.

I...hesitate to comment.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Hello James. Make yourself at home ! :)
Jaslandia, Percyton, James The Red Engine
Hooray for James! Welcome to the CoFN! I would applaud if I had hands.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, James The Red Engine
Thank you. I think you'll all soon see how a really splendid and useful engine does things.
Jaslandia
The invasion of engines started. :P
Jaslandia, Vista Major, James The Red Engine
Oh dear. He's here. Please don't be too annoying about this, James. We don't all appreciate your vanity.
Well, we withstood the invasion of Avatar characters, so we can withstand this.
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh
My
Gods
Jaslandia, James The Red Engine
Only because they haven't seen me. I think they'll change their tune very quickly once they see me pulling shiny and important passenger trains.
My driver will accept your tribute now.
Jaslandia
No tribute shall be granted from me
I eat trains like you for tea time
At tea time, even.
We shall see about that.
Jaslandia
Vista I have Railway guns like during WW2 step aside I got this

Evening fellas!
Vista Major
Could we place the more pertinent factbooks on the WFE higher on the list? The guide to surviving Z-Day was definitely important, but surely the House business factbook should be higher than a guide to blocking TGs.
Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Great, let's go to war with some engines. It'll be super convenient, seeing as they have to travel on tracks.
Also, evening Aetosia.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
That can be removed now. I'll update it and bring it back next year.
Penguania And Antarctica
All of the 'Hey, you must be new to NS' type factbooks should be collated into a single factbook and then have that placed on the WFE so as to save space.

Fvck Sony. Fvcking cock suckers. Sony is made of pieces of bloody sh!t. I'm never buying their garbage again. Fvcking arseholes.
Killdash
woa m8 what happen?
Biggest bullsh!t ever. They won't let me into my account because they say it is the wrong username, email and pw combo. Which is total bull because I only use one thing. They want me to make a new account so I will have to buy all my sh!t again. After all my years as a faithful sony customer, they treat me like fvcking garbage. I'm going to call their HQ and berate the sh!t out of their bitch ass company.

Because nothing makes completely unrelated people want to help like an angry person screaming at them.
Ald, just ask questions like "Can I prove the account is mine" and "Can I speak to a manager, please"
Jaslandia, Killdash, Au Minbo, Aldaur
Then, accuse them of being racists and also incesteous. They'll think you're being witty, and you might get a discount.
Aldaur
Call them up, and as soon as you get an actual human representative, calmly and firmly state that you would like to talk to the biggest, baddest, boss they have.
In my experience they will put you through. Then you repeat the process until you get someone that can actually help you.

Vista Major On the COFN Dispatch on Nations why is my factbook under "Latrovia".
Ugh.

Ah, November, I love the cold of autumn.
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere.
Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
SHUSH
Jaslandia, Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Oh yeah, it seems so strange to celebrate christmas in the warmth.
Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
There is a lovely German poem about the autumn. Unfortunately it loses it's charm when translated.
New Estaris
Fun fact: Many call center employees are actually not allowed to hang up unless the caller is being abusive or cursing. So, sometimes the winning strategy is simply to wear them down until they give you what you want.
Killdash, Aldaur, New Estaris
Hello
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
I guess so, but it's all perspective. The weirdest part is watching Christmas movies and having it snow and things.
And getting a sleigh for Christmas would suck, and hot pies aren't that nice, and a log fire is intolerable.
New Estaris
Lol, im sure it does but im also positive it gains a different on, german in a beautiful language in the same way mountains and tundra are beautiful.
Killdash
it really is, log fires are lush when it gets to -5 or so and what's all this about hot pies and sleighs?
Sleighs? In movies, people get sleighs, small children normally, because there's snow.
And mince pies and stuff. We serve them cold. And eggnog is not a thing.
I don't know if this is sarcasm or not.
My maths teacher played himself twice in a row.
Killdash
Re: eggnog. The stuff really isn't that good, in my opinion. What takes me aback is that people add rum to it.
Because whenever I'm drinking alcohol I think to myself "you know what would go really well with this? Eggs."
Turina
nah, im being genuine.
Or hell, for that matter: "you know what would really quench this thirst? Drinking eggs."
Jaslandia
You one lucku sumbitch: we're due to get for the rest of the week... in 80°F weather that's brutally humid
Do you like my flag change?
Penguania And Antarctica
Now its three.
Killdash
True!! I've never thought about it much, but it's a pretty weird thing, actually.
Although, I guess that you could make the assumption from egg/milkshake to egg/drink.
How?
Looks neat.
I haven't the slightest idea
I'm not stupid. I know how customer service works. I am just expressing my anger at Sony because they are arseholes.
Hey mate, I can only say the truth.
Besides, it could just be a mistake on both parts here.
Aldaur
Hey guys, I've had an idea to do a small informal-ish no-signup RP on the RMB. The current working plan is an extremist/rebel attack on an Unfallion embassy in the war-torn fictional country of Keslana and the fallout surrounding that. Would anyone be interested in that at all? I'd be willing to make a factbook with more background if there's any kind of interest at all.
I'm looking for anyone who would want to neighbour this nation or potentially have their own embassies/covert intelligence compounds based there. I think I will be using the regional map but editing it to include Keslana when I can work out a location for it.
Killdash, Aldaur, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Pirate Kingdoms
Might be interested in it
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica
Three times in a row, he made the problem cancel it,s self, when you need it to be exponential
Maybe.
Uhg. There is a fvcking Marxist day at my school. *Pukes*. Nothing but absolute propaganda. Disgusting.
I honestly wouldn't care otherwise but I'm in a bad mood. Fvck Sony and fvck the commies. You know, this whole bullsh!t with Sony is probably a communist plot! They're trying to steal our precious fluids!

I fvcking live for eggnog. I don't know why but very recently I had it (like three Christmases ago), when my cousin who is like an off the grid organic farmer brought organic eggnog and it was heaven.
My nonna also used to give my dad eggs and marsala to drink. So drinking eggs seems to be in my blood :P

Hard question to ask your teacher, I imagine.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Here's the background: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=716591
(The overly socialist-ey approach is intentional. It's an official Unfallion UIC document.)
Telegram me if you want to possess an official embassy and take part in the RP (don't need to telegram me for covert bases). Also need a neighbouring country if any of you want to do that.
Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Hey, sign me up!
Sure, why not?
New Estaris
Could I be a spy, sent in by New Estaris?
It's well done. I've always hated that font. So plain like thr communist's lack of culture.
Not my RP, ;).
New Estaris
What could I be?
Well, be whatever you want to be, I think. But it's Uni's RP. If he wants to set a specific rule, it's his deal.
New Estaris
Oh! Then, I will revoke my invitiation
Yes.
You can have a covert safehouse set up and more than 1 operative if you wish.
I'll be making the opening post sometime soon and feel free to join in whenever. If you want to have a real embassy you will have to telegram me beforehand.
Killdash, New Estaris
Sure, it's a spy and his operative. They have a safe house, and they are trying to set up a Estarian style Communist Dictatorship.
I'd join too. New colony for the Baxtonian Rijk.
