Hi guys! I'm back and I'm the new Ambassador from The East Pacific! *shows off nonexistent badge* Here's an update to what TEP's been up to this month. EPNS will be posted in about a week.
In the following thread, Vice Delegate Libertanny, known to most as Serge, won the Delegate elections with a 56% majority, narrowly defeating Vizier and Former Viceroy Zukchiva, who handled the loss with grace.

Greetings, fellow West Pacificans.
I've decided to take an extended break from NationStates. (I will make this post as short but informative as I can due to the Inverse Law of Retirement Posts.) As most of you know, I am a student (my grades are doing well this time around so far ) and that takes up a lot of my time, with homework and extracurriculars. The rest of my free time for a long time was put into NationStates. It's been an honor to serve among you all in government, in Discord conversation, and in TWPAF.

There are a few reasons why I decided to leave. One and obviously the most important is my time. As goes the old saying, "RL >>>>>>>>>>> NS." Furthermore, my interest in NS has been steadily decaying for a while. It certainly doesn't help with all the toxicity that is to be expected from an online community masquerading as a political simulator (though perhaps the toxicity was always there). If you want more details, feel free to DM me (although I will not respond as quickly as I used to).
I hope the TWPAF pirates will sail on to new seas!  It's been a pleasure with you all.

Hail o/ Hope you'll come back and visit sometime

Take care <3

. 

was an honour met you Altae and hope your RL goes better now with this break (:

Hey you guys! Sending some love out today! <3 I was talking to someone earlier today about a silly tag that we did with TWPAF back when Kawaii was Commander and I was just a First Commander in revenge on The Bee Movie! It brought back a lot of fun memories in TWP, so I wanted to share some of my favorite TWP times with you guys.  
 
The Spanish Inquisition - I've been on a ton of raids during my time on NS, but the most fun that I ever had with one was when Khanter helped us plan a big raid on Spanish-speaking regions. Like, ALL of the Spanish-speaking regions! We had just kicked off our pirate theme, so we needed to do something big and fun to really cement that direction, and between my Pirate Code, Ban's excellent Graphics, and Khanter's excitement to help with that raid, this put us in the perfect position to really sell it! I spent days hyping everyone up about a secret raid that we'd have coming up and screaming "¡SOMOS PIRATAS!" to anyone who would listen, Khanter made us a WFE all in Spanish for the raid, and Bran made us this cool image as a teaser: 

It ended up being a ton of fun and the beginning to my favorite military theme on NS! 
 
Punday Monday! - Listen, you guys, I am not in favor of puns, I'm honestly not, but thanks to Badger and Roavin have had to take on the title of Ocassional Punstress. Badger used to poke at me EVERY MONDAY to get my pun on with everyone on the RMB, and EVERY MONDAY I would grumble at him for it. But secretly, I gathered puns throughout the week and was always excited to post them and make all my friends groan! I don't think I ever ended up getting most likes for the best pun, but I'm pretty sure I came fairly close. 
 
Badgerbot - Idk how many of you know this, but when I first met Badger, I legitimately thought that he was a really, really well programmed chatbot. Something about his avatar, I don't know, seemed very botish to me! When I finally figured out that he was an actual person, I was really embarrassed, but had to tell him about it, and for the long day time after that I called him Badgerbot when I saw him! Eventually he created an actual BadgerBot to rule over TWP's Discord server and I was tickled pink! Now we have BadgerBot2.0 and it continues to be a weird, inside joke legacy that always makes me smile! 
 
Glitter Apprenticeship - Before I got really involved in TWPAF, I got really involved in TWP in the form of RMB shenanigans. This is where I met some of the old greats in TWP and learned to respect them! I was a wee noob, but I got friendly with BBD, YY, Medio, and a lot of the other Guardians at the time while I was there. I'm still upset that Medio didn't get unlocked until after I was done with TWPAF! I always wanted to raid with him. :c But my crowing achievement was one day convincing NeeNee to let me be her Glitter Apprentice. I spent like a week after that glittering everyone on the RMB and learning her ways. It was a great time.  
 
Bugging Forum Mods - I'm sorry to finally be admitting this, but I got... really into recruitment when I was running TWPAF and almost my entire motivation behind big numbers (besides pilers) was making tons and tons of posts in the mask request thread for the forum mods to have to do. :3 I just liked peeping in every day like "FIVE MORE MASKS FOR YOU, THANK YOU GUYS!" It was my own private little game. But every time I see someone join TWPAF now I get a little shot of glee that the mods will have to mask someone. xD Sorry. <3
 
Anyway, just sending out some love from me and Osiris! Hope everyone is doing well! What about you guys, do you have any really special memories with TWP that make you happy? What do y'all have going on! 

'Tis done.

Hi guys, I'm supposed to be on LOA right now, but with school wrapping up for the year, I think I can squeeze just a tiny bit of time for this pet project. I don't foresee myself doing anything NS-related besides this, although I am excited for it.

This is meant to be somewhat satirical, but I do want it submitted. Constructive criticism is much appreciated.

Without further ado, here it is!
P.S.: Replies in IC or OOC are fine by me.

HALLELUJAH! HALLELUJAH!

That was a wonderful and very detailed update. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
We are proud to be allied with such an active region.
Best of luck!

As much as I'd love to contribute to any draft that gets posted here, my relative inexperience in Gameplay and in the SC means that I'm not well-suited to advise in such matters. That said, in the spirit of humour, I'd personally replace 'NOTING' with 'MILDLY ANNOYED', though the decision is entirely yours.

Without a doubt the most abhorrent and condemn-worthy behavior displayed by this personified public menace!
 
As far as I understand it (from my admittedly very limited point of view), Yuno is taking a pause from raiding at the moment. Do you want to submit this if/when Yuno continues raiding actively? Or could this be redrafted a bit along the lines of 'Yuno may look like taking a pause, but surely they are carrying out nefarious plans in the background and will emerge an even greater raider and threat to the security of us all! Be warned, it's a trap!!'
Overall very nicely written. I like the lighthearted tone.

Hello. I know you’re all happy and stuff over the coming holidays, but I have some grave news to report.
 
As you all know, it’s been a while since I joined TWP. It gave me great experiences, some of which I spent a lot of my time on. It is that which I have bad news on.
 
It turns out all that time I spent in NS was really starting to detract from school and other stuff that was in hindsight more important than my work on NS. In fact, in hindsight, I probably spent way too much time on this post, too.
 
Anyway, keeping it simple from now on. I hereby resign from TWPAF, DMoFA, and Deputy Speaker. I'm sorry, OT, for resigning less than 48(?) hours after I assumed my position, but c'est la vie.
 
I do hope that my absence won’t take away much of the momentum in FA or TWPAF, and I totally understand if Bran wishes to erase my country or something since I won’t be RPing for the next few months. Hopefully, I can earn back my RP stuff.
 
I loved working in TWPAF with you: Altino, OT, Laur, Strat, among others. I'm sorry that I have to stop raiding, but my schedule won't allow that for the time being.
 
An ETA for my return should be probably sometime next year. Best case scenario is February-Marchish, if it comes to the worst, see you in June.
 
Bye. And hail TWP. 
 
(Which assumes, of course, that I won’t be going back on my word and coming back early. If I do, do me a favor and tell me I have work to do. I’ll understand.)

Seeing as no one else has expressed interest, you're hired.

Lynxi hired!

A most excellent idea. 
Let the snark continue!

The truth is I got sick of seeing Prole's name and avi every time I logged in.  So I just posted something snarky to get it off.
