Instituting The Youxia
I am establishing a new non-Peer Order of Recognition. It shall be called the Youxia.
The Youxia honor is similar to a Knight Errant and ranks just below the Xia.
Youxia will be entitled to be addressed as Master or Mistress and to use the seal below.
To be considered eligible for Youxia recognition, a nation must hold between 100 and 150 endorsements over a period of two weeks. This is to prevent obvious threats from gaining recognition, especially if they cross the endorsement cap. This is also to promote responsible endorsement swapping in the region by considering only those who hold above 100 endorsements in the two-week period. Being below 100 endorsements in the two-week period can deem a nation ineligible.
Th Speaker of The Hall or their designee will be charged with keeping The Emperor up to date on which nations qualify as Youxia.
Youxia Eligibility List - August 24, 2019
The period of time considered for this list was from August 10th to August 24th.

Since the old absence notification thread got archived a while back, here's a brand new one!
If you're going to be gone for a couple days or a couple months, let everyone know here so we don't worry too much 

“NOC Declares Independence”
CNNN, Bandar, Bandar Province. Just over a week after firefights erupted in Bandar, a group calling themselves the “New Order of Craiolia”, or NOC, have declared themselves independent from the government. The province of Coastal appears to be their main site of operations, with several different militia groups in that area pledging allegiance to them. President Mor Boor vowed to crush the rebellion in an official statement released this morning.
“Food Crisis Gets Better”
CNNN, Faldan, Akbar Province. Government-sponsored food rationing programs, as well as the seizing of dozens of Craiolian Pride cargo ships filled with food, have helped ease the food crisis and avert fears of a famine in the past few days.
 
“Parliament Effectively Dissolved”
CNNN, Bandar, Bandar Province. President Mor Boor ordered the retirement of all members of Parliament that are not part of the CDLP (Craiolian Democratic Lawmakers’ Party) earlier today due to the onset of martial law. Shortly after the announcement was made, the CDLP gained 173 new mwmbers. In doing this, Mor Boor has ensured that their will be little to no opposition to his “plans to save the nation”.

“Riots Erupt Across the Nation”
CNNN, Bandar, Bandar Province. Days of unrest across the nation, especially in the capital, erupted into open riots earlier today as the first items started disappearing from store shelves. The FCGPA (Federal Craiolian Government Protection Agency) struggled to contain the estimated 13,000 people that marched on the Capital Building, with several minor skirmishes erupting between FCGPA officers and armed protesters as the officers erected barricades around the building. As of now, 4 protesters have been injured and one killed, while there were no FCGPA casualties. President Moor Boor has announced that he will release a statement on the situation on Monday.
 
 
“Craiolian Pride CEO Missing”
CNNN, Landfall, Costal Province. The CEO of Craiolian Pride, Slee Z. Taitor, has fled mainland Craiolia, according to the Navy. In a statement released Saturday evening, the Navy announced that a small boat was spotted leaving the port of Coastal City and heading south. Taitor is suspected to be on one of the many small islands in the north of the Mile-Mer, and the Navy has announced that they will “Search every island within the waters of Craiolia”.

OOC Thread
Welcome to the first ever edition of WPCAA's West Pacific College Football!  This is where the magic happens. In this thread, you will post your rosters, roleplay your teams, and tell the stories of your victories on the gridiron. This got really long, so I’m gonna put a TL;DR right up here:
TL;DR: You can post your RPs in this thread. Find the schedule and a guide to creating a roster below, as well as a little information from me on how I’m organizing things.
This is the RP thread. All posts here (with the exception of WPCAA announcements) should be made IN CHARACTER.
Twenty-eight teams have entered into TWP’s college football league, eager to test their mettle against their neighbors. Those teams have been sorted into four conferences, names for the four continents of TWP: Polaris, Doll Guldur, Aura, and Andolia. Not all teams in each conference come from the continent it is named for, with the exception of the Polarii Conference (Polaris showed up for football, y’all). There are in fact so many Polarii entrants, that they couldn’t all fit into the Polarii Conference. So with that exception, every nation has a team in its continent’s conference. Because I think it will be more interesting to play against teams from different countries, no nation has teams in the same conference. This means you will all be playing against teams from multiple continents, as well as teams from nations not yet on the map.
Below are the conference assignments, with teams ordered arbitrarily.
Polarii

SCHEDULE
(Matches against team 8 are byes.)
Polarii Conference Schedule
Doll Guldurian Conference Schedule
Auran Conference Schedule
 Andolian Conference Schedule
Given that there will be fourteen gamedays in the season, I will try to post results three times a week. I will post a cutoff in this thread before I calculate results so that it is clear which RPs are counted when. If things go smoothly, hopefully everything will fall into a regular schedule, but I don’t know everything I’ll be doing this month, so I will not be committing to any times or dates as of yet.
You may now post rosters and RPs in this thread.
The first results cutoff will be Monday, June 3. This will give you all a little extra time to post your rosters, as well as your first RP if you like and will allow me to be away for a week to be in my friend’s wedding.
Rosters
Rosters are an important aspect of sports roleplay, for a couple reasons. If you only make one post the entire season, it should be your roster. Here’s why:
1.      Rosters let your opponents know who they’re facing. This makes things more fun for everybody, increases realism and immersion, and lets them RP better.
2.      In this competition, a degrading RP bonus is used, but rosters are exempt. That means the more you RP, the more likely you are to perform better, but while older rps won’t count as much towards the bonus, your roster will keep its value throughout the competition. A good roster can give you a sizable bonus that will help you out throughout the whole competition.
3.      Rosters are your way of letting us know about you. Teams will be coming to play in your stadiums over the course of the season. You don’t only have to talk about your team in your roster post, you can also describe your country and let visitors know what to expect. Do you have a factbook? Great! Lots of that info might fit well in a roster post.
4.      Rosters are where you post your RP permissions. RP permissions are a tool that we use to make sure that roleplay is fair and everybody can get along. More info on these lower down.
So what should you put in your roster? Well, your starting XI, to kick things off. Let people know who they’ll be seeing on the field. Go ahead and tell us about who your players are, if you like. From there, you can build outwards: you can say who your team’s substitutes and reserves are, show off a team or school logo, talk about your school, describe your stadium, or describe the culture and geography of your country. Play style, team formation, tactics, and your team’s managerial staff are also great things to include. The only thing a roster should not be is anything narrative: it is written in a more encyclopedic style.
RP Permissions
So what are RP permissions? They are a set of guidelines you establish to let people know what you are okay with happening in their roleplays. Your players will be featured in other people’s RPs, after all, so if you want to control how people write about your characters, this is how you can do that. By filling out your RP permissions, those with whom you are RPing know what boundaries to adhere to when creating their roleplays. Below is a sample RP permission box. Yours can look a little different, it’s up to you.
RP Permissions
Choose my scorers: Y/N
Choose my scoring events: Y/N
Godmod scoring events: Y/N
RP injuries to my players: Y/N
Godmod Injuries to my players: Y/N
Give Penalties to my players: Y/N
Godmod other events: Y/N
Style Modifier: Y/N 
Time to RP!
With the opening of this thread, you can finally start to RP for your teams! Obviously, you won’t have any results to RP about until the first cutoff, but you can write about anything you like until then. RPs don’t have to be written only about your team’s performance on the field—any IC post is fine. I will give bonuses to those who RP, but don’t worry about that: if you don’t want to, you don’t have to, and you should be writing to tell the story you want to tell and most importantly, to have fun. The second, and only other rule, is that you must respect the posted scorelines and your opponents’ RP permissions in your RPs. Other than that, your imagination is the limit!
I can’t wait to see what you all come up with! Good luck to all of you!

CRN Transcript Excerpt From “Saturday Afternoon with Tim Burkley”, 5/25/19.
 
Tim: So the whole situation relating to Craiolian Goods and even the future of the nation has just degraded. S—t really hit the fan this week, especially in Bandar. With me this week I have our current events reporter, Adam Sandhausen. I’ll hand the mic to him for the next few minutes.
 
Adam: Thanks, Tim. What you said is completely accurate. The situation has escalated rapidly. People are incredibly agitated about a possible famine, especially with no comment from the Boor Administration so far. And WikiSpills has recently released a few lines of code that they claim is from a CBI listening device discovered inside of the Craiolian Pride Central Offices. The Administration has no comment on that either thus far. We’re not going to release the code for legal purposes, but this is a massive security breach on the part of the CBI, especially with the decrypt key having been discovered.

Needed to post :P

UPDATE
I'm please to see what looks like a great crew coming together! We'll be getting things rolling soon. I'm here to bring a little bit more information in the meantime.
Sign-ups will probably be closing early next week. Typically, I'm hoping to get two or three game days in each week so that we can have a bit of a regular schedule once the season starts, but we'll have a slightly longer period--one week--between the closing of sign-ups and the first RP cutoff. This will allow people to work on rosters, etc. I've decided also that the RP bonus you will receive for your roster won't decay the same way other RP bonuses will. This means: write a roster! Even if you're not going to RP, it's nice to at least let other people know who they're playing against. I will post a guide to writing your own roster when I post the RP thread, which I will do when sign-ups close. Also, even if you don't get around to it right away, it means that it'll help you out to write a roster at any point. As they say, better late than never. I will also be giving you extra time before the first cutoff so that if you like, you can write a roster as well as your first RP. I will be giving space for a bonus for both.
Another note on scheduling: I'm hoping to have a nice round number of teams so that organizing you guys into conferences can be nice and symmetrical. I have a little control over the numbers, but I may jump in and cut off sign-ups if I see there's nice round number, which is why I'm not publishing an exact date for the close of sign-ups. That said, all of you who are members of the Hall of Nations are eligible to enter two teams. That means that a few of you can still enter one more team. @Podium, @Craiolia, @Arnic, @ghouldovka, @HankTheTank87, and @ete74, you can all still submit one more entry.
My goal is to have 4 conferences named after the continents on the map; Polaris, Doll Guldur, Aura, and Andolia. Since most of the teams are from Polaris, and some people aren't on the map, the conferences won't actually reflect the geographic location of the teams. It depends on the numbers, of course, but I'm hoping that each team will play every other team in their conference at home and away. The conferences will also be put into pairs and teams will play an inter-conference game with each team in their paired conference. I will try to place teams into conferences so that no one who has two teams will have to play against themselves--what's the point of that?
Anyway, that's the plan, so I hope that this is nice and transparent and gets us all on the same page. Sorry for the wall of text.
You'll hear back from me next week!

Just thought I'd post something here. Hi.

Once upon a time a statement regarding the status of a TWP citizen would have been posted here first rather than in NS Gameplay.
https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?p=35703941#p35703941
Now not all TWP members go to the GP forum, nor do they bother with Discord. Would be nice if TWP’s government could remember that.

CRN Transcript Excerpt- “Saturday Afternoon with Tom Burkley”- May 18th, 2019
Tim: So something really strange that’s been noticed is that food hasn’t been arriving at supermarket warehouses, and we think it has something to do with Craiolian Goods and its legal situation. With me on the phone here I have a trucker who works for Craiolian Goods. He’s requested that his name remain anonymous because CG probably won’t be happy about this information being revealed. So, Mr. Anonymous, what can you tell us?
Trucker: It’s really weird, actually. Almost immediately after Parliament ruled to impose that fine on CG, my route was changed. Now instead of taking food to supermarket warehouses, we’re taking it to these nondescript warehouses on the Northern Shore. I’ve also noticed that no more food is coming in from the farms, which means my new assignment will not last very long.
Tim: So is there anything else you can tell us?
Trucker: Actually, yes. I overheard my boss saying something shady. Like, really shady.
Tim: Go on...
Trucker: Who the h—l are you?
Tim: Mr. Anonymous?
Trucker: Oh s—t. Oh s—t! They’re here!
Tim: Who exactly are they?
Trucker: AAAAAGGHHHHHH*dial tone*
Tim: Oh my. *Dialing of a phone can be heard* Hello? Police? Yes, I’d like to report a possible murder.

Join and introduce yourself on the main TWP Discord server and the TWP Roleplay Discord server Read the Guide to TWP Roleplay & Esferos Lore Introduction Apply to become a member of the Hall of Nations Submit your Mapplication™ to this thread once you have applied. See below for Mapplication™ instructions. The map is updated on the 15th of every month—to stay on it you must remain active, which requires you to:
Maintain your Hall of Nations membership—this includes making at least one post (new thread or reply) per month anywhere on the forums Engage in the Roleplay Discord at least once every three months Becoming inactive or leaving the region immediately forfeits your place on the map and in the canon unless you first talk with the Cartography Board. Inactive nations with significant contribution to the canon may become NPCs controlled by the Loremasters instead of being removed entirely.
How to submit your Mapplication™
Mapplications™ must be submitted as a reply to this thread. Below, you will find the Mapplication™ form to paste into a reply and fill out.
Submitting your Mapplication™ will begin a process where statistics and realism will be discussed with the Cartography Board. It is important to note that this process is not a negotiation—the community standards for realism will be met, but we encourage you to meet them creatively. If you have questions about specifics, or do not fit in a particular answer category, read the background material and explain where you may land on each of the Indices. Joining the TWP Roleplay Discord server is heavily encouraged for more involved help in this process.
The name that appears on the map for your nation must be reasonably realistic—if the name you choose does not meet the canon standards, you will be notified by a member of the Cartography Board. Your map nation's name does not need to match your resident nation's name.
You may request a premade area (outlined on the map in grey) or draw an area of your own. For continents that have numbered plots thus far, you may not draw your own plot. Pre-made plots are only combined in extreme circumstances. If you draw your own, please take a screenshot of the map and mark the territory you would like to request, like the example image provided in this section. Major cities and other features are also welcome, though we need exact city populations to place them on the map (this may be done later by submitting populations to the #cities channel on our Discord server). Please review the Esferos Topographic Map and Biome Map (linked above) to inform your nation's placement, as geographic features and environments will not be changed to suit your desires after placement. Bear in mind that if you decide to request an unreasonably large area, it will be pared down.
The map is updated on the 15th of every month, and hotfixes are released to include new applicants at the end of each week.

I may eventually put this up in the SC forum gameside, but leaving it here for the moment to work on.  Background: CoCD are a fascist region who recent pulled all their political tags from their WFE as part of a campaign to convince Gameplay that they’re no longer fascist.  Keeping the embassies with Nazi and fascist regions open was a dead giveaway though.
Maybe needs more ham jokes?

I gave this a bump on Discord.
