Region: Warzone Airspace

History

On a unrelated note, thanks Tanou for organising the transition in an orderly manner.

@ [nation=short+noflag]Tanou{/nation] - temporary bans is one of the UPSIDES to a Warzone, You can't sit on your duff here, you have to be vigilant. If you look away for just a few you could loose what you have.

Also @ [nation=short+noflag]Cullenia[/nation] - What do you mean they won their soveriegnty back? Did some faction from the Pacific invade them?

To All World Alliance Members Of Warzone Airspace:

It is time to start thinking about who you shall be endorsing. The list has been drafted and there are but three candidates. We all have 15 days to decide on what we want in a leader.

We at the Royal Assembly of Ambassadors, believe in the Warzone Airspace as it is now! Let the Post-apocalyptic theme to the region continue along with the Warfront. Let all regional business be conducted on the Regional Message Board. And if Our enemies try to use this information against us let them come! We are strong as a region and they will find Us not so easily overcome.

In short, our office has elected to stand on a platform of "Status Quo" for the most part. Even still though, We are not adverse to change. If change is required, let your voice be heard, and We shall do what We can.

Endorse The Great Destruction for Delegate today!

[list][*]We have the Experience![*]We have the Influence![*]We have the Resolution![/list]

This has been a message from [nation=short+noflag]The Great Destruction[/nation] Embassies.

Shirley, Ambassador to the World Assembly, Jane the Temple, Black

All correspondence on behalf of: His Holiness, the Pope of Arimanes, High King of the Righteous People, Herald of The Great Destruction, Kenneth the Talmanes Reed, Son of Lars

@The Great Destruction What happened was the faction of one of those pacific regions just got back after being conquered. i watched, nothing had happened in the region for days but the old delegate got it back. that means that the East/ West (don't remember) PAcific is proboably going to want another prey. And because we are changing delegates, this may not be good.

I think we will be alright, overcoming 4 endorsements is no difficult task but whomever becomes delegate here should have 14 or more

also it helps to have regional influence to be able to ban the leaders of such movements for a day. lol

There are 16 WAs present atm. Should be enough.

I believe someone said it was Warzone Sandbox. Honestly, we're a stronger warzone than they are right now, so I think we're generally in a better position. We might also consider encouraging multiple people with high endorsements to give a stronger core.

And endorse me for the Delegate elections, of course. ;) My platform is a Warzone RP and improved foreign relations--let's make a difference in this part of world.

Agreed, but two or three endos is enough usually to get your influence going. After a while a new attacker can infultrate for a time but they will not be able to expel you, since they would have less regional influence than you.

Influence doesn't apply in the warzones, you can be Hermit and still be kicked out. I think the main reason your safe from the feeders is Codger would freak at them :P

^ yea influence doesn't apply in warzones :p

Anyway, whomever becomes delegate of WZ Airspace I am the ambassador to the region by way of The South Pacific. I'll be in touch after the change.

Good Luck,

Drugged Monkeys

Yes you are right, I had forgotten

Good to have you here, DM! Do we have an ambassador in TSP? (If not, or if it's Codger, I can go ahead and send in a nation to reciprocate.)

First things first. Lets have a new WAD and see what happens. Maybe no one wants to have WZA as part of their empire.

And if I'm wrong here's a little preemptive praise to our new overlords.

Yes, lets discuss any relationships with TSP later, Perhaps Codger will hang around for a few days afterward to give us some insight in the matter.

I cam't but sickles might

Hmm...

My vote stays itself.

Where to place it?

Still alive.

Airspace probably lasted as long as it did because I sucked up to every raider/defender group that had the ability to do something.. ;)

Thats the best plan, we took it one step further in Laz.....treaties with everyone :P Speaking of Laz, how did you miss applying for an embassy there Codger? I'm hurt.

Perhaps he didn't think you were dangerous enough to brownnose? Though personally I think you'd be perfect for brownnosing, considering you're generally known as "Drop Your Pants".... XD

I was afraid you say something like that Codger.

Following candidates like to "suck up to every raider/defender group that has the ability to do something" :P

[nation=short]The Great Destruction[/nation]

[nation=short]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation]

[nation=short]Ruzan[/nation]

Make your vote count and endorse now.

I don't think of it as sucking up. I think of it as diplomacy. 5 days left to cast your vote.

Flattery works best when it's genuinely meant, which generally means it's not called flattery.

Haven't posted in some time. How are things going here?

Not bad, not bad. The big deal here is that Codger's retiring for RL stuff (RL yay, leaving boo) and we're working elections right now.

This rating is stupid. It's developed by pinheads. What really matters? How about what environment is most attractive to business? I'd rate #1 on that one!

I'm assuming that Codger is resigning after one year of being delegate.

http://www.nationstates.net/page=rmb/postid=1242099

I vote for making it a year even. Just seems right, that way.

A year has 365 days.

Would you like a retirement party?

Yeeeaa! No taxes, haha! Don't want no feds or government police breathing down yer neck about damn taxes? C'mon and join the Piratical Islanders, the most legendary of tax evaders in all of Warzone Airspace!

Well goodbye Codger, as probably the longest member of Warzone Airspace, I say cheers!

K-pop is my new obsession.

I also have a totally unrealistic idea of relationships now..

Recent scientific research has shown that our army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers. Said research also revealed that we use the metric system. And write british english.

For some reason I like korean cinema. It's hard to get though.

Nine days left.

Yes, sorry for the confusion, that should have said 10 days left earlier....

Should be 366 days instead, to account for leap years.

I'm dissapointed in you O'reilly Factor. I thought for sure you would dominate the Soda Pop industry

I'd have answered this last issue the correct way--complete freedom of speech--except the answer I gave might get me Violetism for a state religion.

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Who's the new WAD again? Sorry for being inactive.

Ruzan, The Great Destruction, and I are running; no results yet. I'm not entirely sure what will count as results, beyond whoever has more endorsements when Codger steps down.

Post self-deleted by Reddevia Ii.

[nation=short]The Great Destruction[/nation] = 7 endorsements

[nation=short]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation] = 7 endorsements

[nation=short]Ruzan[/nation] = 4 endorsements

So far it's a tie between TGD and HCL. But it's not over yet. Six days left to make your choice.

I send my endorsement to the great destruction, he has the largest amount of medals emblazoned on his chest for good reasons and I see fit to be a brilliant leader. Those who have not chosen, please do.

While I might point out that rankings medals do not a good leader make (or unmake), I certainly agree--everyone has a vote, and should vote.

Too true, @ [nation=short]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation], but what my good friend, [nation=short]Bangners and mash[/nation], points out as plain as day is that you have been here for only a short while. In fact you arrived here immediately after [nation=short]Warzone Codger[/nation] had announced his retirement. While this may be coincidence, it does make me question your motives having only arrived a mere 17 days ago and during a particularly advantageous time for an usurper or invader to steal the region without a fight. ...and you were not shy about asking to be in the running. I was recruiter here by [nation=short]Warzone Codger[/nation] personally,...why are you here?

To the rest of Warzone Airspace:

I don't know if either of the before mentioned possibilities is the case; but, as I have looked really hard at this just now, I am convinced that we cannot risk a potential security breach like this. Of course [nation=short]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation] was allowed to run, as is democratic, but I implore you, cast you endorsements wisely!

Will you pick an active regional staple for half a year this month? Or will you cast your vote into the unknown.

I fear for what [nation=short]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation] is capable of...

May the fourth be with you!

And Codger still reigns...,.

As a reply: I refounded and decided to try the game-created warzones. The one I went to first, though, was sadly inactive; I looked around Airspace and asked Codger about it--that was the first I knew he was retiring. I came here because Airspace is active and welcoming and interesting, and well worth a good leader. It's a shame Codger's retiring; I know we'll miss him (and I hope he'll be around, still, if not as much).

I have two points, then:

Firstly, much as I'd like to, I can't think of any way to conclusively disprove that I'm an invader. (Of course, there's nothing but campaign speeches to 'prove' I am, either.) Might as well be honest about being new--the same honesty you'll get with me as delegate, be the news good or bad. New blood brings new life to a region, and while none of us can replace Codger, we can make this region something he's proud to have led.

Second, my campaign is about what we can do to build this region--improved foreign affairs and a post-apocalyptic roleplay to increase activity. This could be used as a recruitment tool in itself, if it's well-advertised in our embassies and on the NS forums.

You fear what I am capable of? I'm capable of moving this region forward internally and externally. If I were my opponent, I would be afraid of that, too.

May your day go well,

[nation=Hans Conrad Leipelt]

Well spoken, [nation=short+noflag]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation], once this is decided, We would make you recruiter to the region if you so choose to accept the responsibility. But as for now I believe you need to yet "pay your dues" as the lay man would say.

Now on to more important things:

Our Devine Leader, His Holiness, the Pope of Arimanes, High King of the Righteous People, Herald of The Great Destruction, Protector of the Sacred Word, Kenneth the Tameness Reed, Son of Lars, is sequestered away at the moment, due to a recent uprising of Violetism.

The more wholesome religions of the nation have gotten together and pleaded with our ruler to choose a national religion so that this can never happen again.

At this moment He is trying to find a way to meld the lesser religions into our main Religion of worshiping the Destructive Power of the Devine Golden Bomb without alienating many of the non-believers.

Where normally I, Arch Pope of the Interior, Armand Jean du Plessis, Keeper of Records, Cardinal-Duc de Richelieu et de Fronsac, would handle most internal church matters, issues of this import are to be handled by the High Pope, The Pope of Arimanes. So for the time being, in order to allow for a smooth transition without disrupting much of the workings of the more secular parts of the government, I will be supplanting the High King as interim ruler as is written in the Sacred Charter of The Great Destruction.

I give you this information freely so that it is known that the absence of the King is not attributed to a coup, but merely a matter of state.

Wow, The region has very well prospered in my inactivity! That's awesome! I probably would have dropped out by now anyway if it wasn't for the stupid WA.

I do have one Question for the Hopeful Delegates:

Would you support a new regional Forum, like the one that I made?

Freedom of Information Act, for or against?

Voting for since it's important for the region to know what you're thinking..

Completely Stoned Weirdos was reclassified from "Liberal Democratic Socialists" to "Scandinavian Liberal Paradise".

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! :D

I think a regional forum is a decent idea and could be good for organization--we're also large and active enough that we might be able to support one.

The main problem is that we're a region without a fully clear leader. Yes, we have leaders--even longterm--but we don't have a founder. This would make control of the regional forum quite... difficult, if leadership came into controversy. For example, if I became delegate and created a forum, but was subsequently displaced by another I didn't approve of, this would leave the forum at my mercy. Now, hopefully I wouldn't abuse a power like that, and neither would another, but it proves the point--that we would need a sort of third or neutral party to maintain the forum, separate in authority from the delegacy and even any regional government or activities. But, of course, invested enough in Airspace not to turn on us.

Hans--

I have created a forum very recently and I would giver you moderator power so it would be easy to govern.

Normally we would be for the "Freedom of Information Act", but it allows the populace to know just too much. Against.

Now, onto the Great Destruction's post.

Considering i'm not on much of a run for roleplaying, i'll be frank.

Are you planning on making a national religion for the region?

To The Republic of Hans Conrad Leipelt,

Normally, you would be my vote. There are two problems though.

1. Like a politician, you say words. Nothing else. Stating that you will move the region forward does not mean you will. Tell us how.

2. You are new to the region, and this gains my suspicion. You could easily be an invader, and you are not experienced enough with our region.

That is all.

Now, onto a more positive note...

I have a couple of questions. As the Supreme Chancellor of Reddevia II, there are matters of importance to me. How your leadership will help us.

1. Reddevia II currently stands as being in the top 10% of the entire world for the largest Defense Forces, and top 10% of the world for being one of the safest nations, including top 10% for lowest crime rates . As such, I am worried as to what you plan for defensive and offensive military sovereignty. Explain.

2. From an environmental standpoint...

Though we lay on the Eastern coast of Warzone Airspace, we stand on the top 10% of the world for being the most eco-friendly, along with the top 10% in the region. What do you both plan for the environment?

News:

Reddevian Founding Day May 26!

20 days from now.

In addition to the problems with forum neutrality that Hans Conrad Leipelt mentions, I also have a concern that an offsite forum would encourage us to neglect the RMB.

Post self-deleted by Aerospacedynamics.

I suggest if a forum is created, that the next Delegate create it or appoint someone to create it. People who generally create forums who aren't in any accepted position of authority are just attempting to gain some form of power.

Post self-deleted by Reddevia Ii.

@ [nation=short]Reclaimers of Reddevia[/nation] No I was merely announcing my country hitting 1 billion allowing me to pick a religion. My views on defense crime and ecology align well with your own.

On the topic of the forum: I suggest we table the topic of an external forum until after this more important matter is resolved.

Kudos Codger. You claimed Airspace and kept it (independent) for a whole year. No one can say something equally impressive. Congratulations.

[nation=short]The Great Destruction[/nation] = 9

[nation=short]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation] = 7

[nation=short]Ruzan[/nation] = 5

Do I resign my WA now or something?

You wanted to reach a full year as delegate. And did it. It's time to let go. Your service to the region will never be forgotten.

I suppose You would simply leave the WA for a day to reset all of the endos...?

Hey Codger,dont be a stranger,even though you are going into semi-retirement :D

Violent struggles broke out in the streets of the capital city, now named Karsteintinople, between immigrant groups whose native nations are at war. Remembering the proud traditions of the Warzone Airspace, the Pharaoh of Upper and Lower Karsteinia has decided to honor his prestiges neighbours by invading two of them in an effort to end the struggles. The soldiers deployed by catapult to the invaded Warzone Airspace countries consist solely of people who participated in the street fighting, and the Pharaoh hopes their imminent slaughter is painless and that they manage to take out enemies and/or civilians equal to at least 40% of the invading force.

Karsteinia praises the Pharaoh who does not split bread, but splits national dispute into two wars, fought simultaneously. Even before the GPS offers advice, the Pharaoh turns us left at the canyon.

...I like this Pharaoh.

To all of Warzone Airspace:

Thank you all for your patience during this transition.

Thanks to all of you who have supported [nation=short]The Great Destruction[/nation].

And a personal thanks to Warzone Codger, who swept [nation=short+noflag]The Great Destruction[/nation] up from screeching horde of the Rejected Reaml,and had faith in Us from the very beginning.

Those WA member nations who have not done so already please endorse The Great Destruction. You do not have to un-endorse anyone.

Sometime later this week we will bring up the yet unresolved discussion about the potential for an external forum. All nation will have an equal say in it. If and only if a forum is deemed appropriate will we then discuss the rules governing it and not before.([nation=short]Cullenia[/nation] you might want to prepare your ideas)

I will be looking towards you, [nation=short]Tanou[/nation] and [nation=short]Phantom Guardians[/nation] for counsel when needed.

So how about it [nation=short]Hans Conrad Leipelt[/nation]? Would you be interested in a recruiting position for a while?

Also, anyone else interested in helping us recruit a few more nations please telegram Me.

Congrats, The Great Destruction on the election! And congrats to Warzone Codger on making a year as Delegate, and good luck with your RL stuff. :)

Sure, I bet I could bring some new nations in. :)

... foreshadowing... LOL

New nation as requested

Congrats Codger! :)

-Spartz

Well done, Codger! As somebody that's been around since the creation of the Warzones, I'm very impressed.

Happy retirement Codger!! Here is your gold watch. Not a knock-off promise! ; )

Congratulations Codger !!

Congrats Codger!

Congratz Mr.Codger.

Sees lot's of familiar faces : )

Goes in search of booze...

The Forgot To Pay His Bribes of Warzone Codger

^

I think it's fitting. Obviously I didn't ship the booze!

@RaWrStEr ~ Hai Bro Bro :)

Hi 94 :)

why is the rum always gone? I hope someone brings some from LWU

Call in [region=One Big Island], they always have plenty of booze.

~94

Is 365 the all-time record for any Warzone? Whether it is or isn't, though, it's pretty staggering.

^ Yes.

When I broke the old record of 263, that was the previous longest record of all Warzones as well.

What we're being raided. Nooo... XD

As it seems that we returned to the state of an ordinary warzone your record will remain unbroken for quite some time Codger.

O and before I forget it I told the old chinese lady from the deli store to put every order of the day on my tab.

To celebrate the good old days gone by not the raid of course.
