Resident nation: Sensorland Discord name: johnnyturnpike Map nation name: Sensoria A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats) Sensoria (also referred to as Sensorland) is a coastal republic in southern Aura, on the Barry Sea and the Sea of Serenity. Sensoria is led by Harper Huxley, Coordinator of the Assembly of Delegates. The emergence of a united Sensoria is a relatively recent historical development, as the region had long been either ruled by powers like St Mark or split into smaller states. Sensoria's biggest economic strength is a thriving tourism industry, with the nation's natural beauty and historical landmarks attracting many visitors. The government has prioritized tourism-friendly infrastructure, including passenger ports and airports, in order to play to this strength. Sensoria is not a historically powerful country, but may be considered an emerging power following its unification and numerous government reforms, particularly under the ambitious former Coordinator Joe Krantor.

Akachi the Unfaithful Part 4 The First Visiting Night As Akachi arrived home saddened that he may never find a true god to serve; Ozioma noticed his kinsman whom he raised as a son, and spoke with him, "My son why are you disheartened?" Akachi turn to Ozioma, and told him all that had happened and of all his questions. Ozioma had no answer for the boy, but understood that faith was important to him; even though he himself did not raise Akachi in this manner. He thought maybe it comes from his father; as his father was a priest, maybe it was just innate in him to serve a god. "As you know our kin are not from these parts Akachi, these gods are not our gods. As a matter of fact I remember being taught long ago there is but one god, and a long time ago we all served the true god. It was after sometime we begun to teach of false gods of wood and stone that served us and our own desires. I believe I remember how to build an alter to our god; maybe if you do as I tell you, he will answer you," Akachi listened carefully to the words spoken by Ozioma, and the following early morning he begun to gather stone, and piled them on a hill on the edge of his father's land. All day he sought out and carefully arranged the uncut stones into a proper alter as he went; until some time pass noon. It was about this time Ozioma brought to Akachi a sickly female sheep to sacrifice on the alter. Ozioma knew that a proper sacrifice required a healthy unblemished male beast of the herd or flock, but he did not wish to waste one of his good male sheep. Akachi accepted the sickly sheep, but when Ozioma left, Ifeoma his eldest daughter whom hide herself among the near by flock; came forward with a healthy male that was only about a year old; she was also there when Ozioma gave Akachi the proper instructions, and also swore within herself to serve a god only if it be true. They both chopped wood, and gathered everything they needed together, carrying it up the hill. Then at the proper time Akachi slew the sacrifice as Ifeoma watched him, making sure he carried out the ritual as he was told. As the sheep burned on the alter Akachi and Ifeoma knelt down to pray, seeking the god of their ancestors. All the rest of the day they prayed until the sun begun to set. Akachi added more wood to the alter intent on keeping it burning until sunrise, and Ifeoma tended to him getting food and cloaks to keep them warm through the night, but Akachi did not eat. Just before sunrise the next morning Akachi in frustration knocked over the alter, upset that his prayers went unanswered. He then looked up at the stars and said out loud, "Why will you not answer me!" but in that moment he noticed a star he had not seen before. He fixated on the star, and noticed it getting closer to him. Not knowing what to do, he continued to watch as the star grew and became even more stars. As they approached they grew in more detail, and an immense cloud formed with flashing lightning surrounded by a brilliant light. In the center was a fire, and the fire looked like glowing metal, and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was human, but each of them had four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze. Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. All four of them had faces and wings, and the wings of one touched the wings of another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved. Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a human being, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle. Such were their faces. They each had two wings spreading out upward, each wing touching that of the creature on either side; and each had two other wings covering its body. Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it. The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning. And then the sky itself opened up, and Akachi could see into heaven itself. At this he fell to the ground an tried to hide his face, for he was afraid to look into the face of his god. Another living creature spoke, "Be not afraid, for your prayers have been answered. You are now in the presence of the one true god. Look he approaches" Akachi bowed with his face low to the ground then suddenly all was calm. When he rose up the fearsome creatures had disappeared and the sky had closed, but when he looked to the alter it was whole again, and an unearthly light stood upon the alter. Out of the light a man's voice spoke in a soothing tone that felt like the notes of a song, "You have been chosen." Akachi bowed before the light for he knew he was standing before his god, but the light reached out to him and touched Akachi's shoulder and lifted him to his feet. "I will teach you, that you shall know and do the the things of god. You shall teach all mankind, and I will be with you wherever you go," then the light commanded him to take a stone from the alter, and as he did this inscriptions covered the stone. The light then commanded him to eat it. Akachi holding the stone bit into it, and it was like sweet buttered bread. But when he swallowed it, it upset his stomach. The light than commanded him to pick up an empty pitcher that lay beside the alter; which once had water in it, and into it the light commanded him to swept the ashes off the alter into the pitcher. As Akachi did this the light told him to drink, which Akachi did; and when he drunk from the pitcher it was like wine, and when he swallowed, it settled the pain of the stone. In this instant the light took form; the alter which was made of stone became a great magnificent and elaborate throne and the light sat upon it in the form of a man. As Akachi continued to eat and drink the man taught him many things, answering all his question without Akachi asking them. He taught Akachi of how he created all things, and the history of Akachi's fathers and his fathers' fathers before them until the first. Akachi finished eating and drinking as the sun came upon the land, and his god ascended into the sky. But just before this Ifeoma woke up and saw the light. Watching it rise into heaven; she could see the living beings in the sky moving to and fro until in a bright flash they disappeared. As Akachi again looked at the alter he saw another stone, just as the ones he ate and again the pitcher was full. Akachi filled with knowledge handed both to Ifeoma, and told her to eat and drink. She looked up at Akachi and noticed he was different; as though he aged into a man overnight, so she took both excitedly, and begun to eat and drink; as Akachi taught her the ways of their god. All that day and into part of the night Akachi taught her, and Ifeoma listened with great enthusiasm; even long after she had finished the bread and wine, but he could not teach her everything that day. Ifeoma in that moment swore to follow Akachi, and to care for him wherever he would go until death. When Ozioma saw that they had kill one of his fattened sheep he was upset, but when he saw the joy of Akachi and Ifeoma his beloved daughter; he was delighted for them to have found their god, yet he did not believe them at that time. All the teachings of god that were given to Akachi are written in the scroll of "First Visiting". This story is heavily inspired by canon and non-canon biblical stories. More detail about the faith.

IT'S THE FINAL

TVNC - The fallout... and the third place match! After a considerable delay broadcast would start from a studio with a table in the center and Railo, Eiva and Tixica seated around it. Railo in total silence and Tixica with his head firmly on the table. [Eiva]: Good afternoon ladies and gents! Welcome to TVNC sports, im Nixta Eiva, and ill be joined by my co-workers Tivan Railo and Marco Tixica, where we'll review what's in store for us in this last day of RWC5, but also uh, apolgize for the mess that happened in the last transmission. [Railo]: Yes... apologies for that. [Tixica]: Im sad, i got grounded, i was even sent to the naughty corner. [Railo]: At least i got my bet money. [Tixica]: Oh shut up! [Eiva]: Well, we soon will witness the match we've been waiting for, Ryxtylopia vs Teralyon! The previously unbeaten team going up against the 3rd placed team from last RWC. [Railo]: Intense match in for us. [Eiva]: Yes, anyways what are your opinions? [Railo]: Well the Teralyian team is strong, but their loss with Zoran places many questions on their backs, as they had a worse loss than us, and we faced the hosts, but its clear Tivarra isn't going overconfident into the match. [Tixica]: I think it'll be a good one to watch, our team can win if they play their cards right. I expect Darrias to not ghost out on this one hopefully, he should be a key player considering his attacking potential, while Huilchica will still be the reliable Lock he always is. [Railo]: Good point, last game will be one Darrias will want to forget. [Eiva]: For Teralyon i think they'll try to start off strong, dont know what Tivarra has in mind. [Railo]: Well we wont get the time to contact Gaíves. [Tixica]: NOOOOOOO- [Railo]: Chill he'll be back for the return. [Tixica]: This is your fault Railo! [Railo]: My fault?! [Tixica]: If we hadn't fought over that we wouldn't have to be briefed about conduct and we would have started in time! [Railo]: Look i... With Railo and Tixica starting to argue again, Eiva would decide to not take any risks and leave the bulk of the broadcast for after the match. [Eiva]: Here they go again... CUT!!! [Railo]: Wait- [Tixica]: And like i said, if it wasn't for you being a big no- wait wha- The transmission cuts abbruptly as the match was about to start anyways.

Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object In a shocking turn of events, the Teralyon rugby team's impressive undefeated streak came to an abrupt end in the semi-final of the fifth annual Rugby World Cup. After eight consecutive victories, Teralyon faced a crushing 27-6 defeat at the hands of the formidable team from Zoran. Please come now The semi-final match, was a highly anticipated clash, with fans from both sides filling the stands. Teralyon, known for their aggressive play and strategic brilliance, seemed poised to continue their winning streak. However, Zoran's tactical superiority and relentless pressure on the field proved too much for Teralyon to handle. I think I'm falling From the start, Zoran dominated the game, quickly establishing a lead that Teralyon struggled to overcome. Zoran's defense was impenetrable, and their offense capitalized on every opportunity, leaving Teralyon scrambling to keep up. By halftime, Zoran had built a commanding lead, and despite Teralyon's best efforts in the second half, they couldn't turn the tide. I'm holding on to all I think is safe "We're obviously disappointed," said Teralyon team captain Zivko Koci. "We had a great run, and we believed we could go all the way. But Zoran played exceptionally well, and we have to give them credit for that. Now, our focus shifts to the next game." With this loss, Teralyon will now face Ryxtylopia in the battle for third place. This match promises to be another intense encounter, as both teams aim to end their tournament on a high note. Teralyon will need to regroup and bring their best game to secure a podium finish. It seems I found the road to nowhere Meanwhile, Zoran advances to the final, where they will take on the home team, Overthinkers. The Overthinkers, with the advantage of playing on home soil and the support of their passionate fans, will present a tough challenge for Zoran. The final match is set to be a thrilling contest, with both teams vying for the coveted Rugby Cup. And I'm trying to escape As the tournament reaches its climax, rugby fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the final showdowns. For Teralyon, the journey may have taken an unexpected turn, but their resilience and determination will undoubtedly make the battle for third place a match to watch.

These claims, purportedly made by certain outside forces, have been met with firm denial and condemnation by President Tiber, who reaffirmed Teralyon's unwavering support for its friend and ally, United Adaikes. President Tiber began his statement by calling the allegations "ridiculous" and "baseless" asserting that such claims are designed to sow discord and destabilize the region. "United Adaikes is, and always has been, an integral part of the Polaris continent," he declared. "These unfounded accusations are nothing more than attempts by external entities to disrupt the harmony and cooperation that we have worked so hard to build." He emphasized that Teralyon stands resolute in its commitment to United Adaikes. "Our friendship and alliance with United Adaikes are built on mutual respect, shared values, and a long history of collaboration. We will not be swayed by baseless accusations or allow outside forces to dictate the terms of our regional relationships." The press conference was attended by numerous national and international media outlets, reflecting the gravity of the situation and the widespread interest it has garnered. President Tiber did not mince words in addressing the motives behind these allegations. "It is clear that these claims are orchestrated by those who wish to undermine the stability and unity of nations in the Mille Mer. However, let me be unequivocal: Teralyon will always stand by its allies. We will not tolerate any attempts to isolate or delegitimize United Adaikes." In his address, President Tiber highlighted the strategic and economic importance of United Adaikes to Polaris. "United Adaikes plays a crucial role in our collective security and economic prosperity. Their contributions to regional initiatives and their commitment to upholding the principles of peace and cooperation cannot be overstated." The President's remarks were met with applause and support from various representatives and officials in attendance. Following his speech, President Tiber took questions from the press, reiterating Teralyon's steadfast stance against any form of regional destabilization. When asked about potential actions Teralyon might take in response to these allegations, President Tiber was firm. "We are actively engaging with our allies and partners to address this issue. Diplomatic channels are open, and we are exploring all avenues to ensure that such false claims are swiftly and effectively countered." The President concluded the press conference with a message of solidarity. "To the people and government of United Adaikes, know that Teralyon stands with you. Together, we will face any challenge and overcome any obstacle. Our bonds of friendship and alliance are unbreakable." As Teralyon reaffirms its commitment to its ally, it sends a clear message to the international community: unity and cooperation will prevail over division and discord.

Canal 7 Dyportes - The Semifinals; A dive into the Top 4 There would be a brief introduction, with a heavily autotuned voice: "In Channel 7 we bring you the best information for your viewing, CHANNEL 7!" "Good afternoon everybody, welcome to Channel 7 SPORTS, the best sporting news in the entire northern half of Aura, im Inrique Miravez today's host, and as many of you have been expecting, today we're taking a dive into the Rugby World Cup being hosted in Overthinkers!" "As many of you know Ryxtylopia got knocked out by Overthinkers' with the score being 27-9; the hosts of the tournament ended the run Tivarra's team was making for the trophy, but this is not the end for Ryxtylopia as 3rd place is still within reach. Meanwhile for the other match we expected more equality but the Zoranians thrashed the Teralyians 27-6, ending Teralyon's 8-game unbeaten run, as the zoranians prepare for what could be their 3rd RWC trophy, for which they'll have to face the hosts, whilst Teralyon will have to do with 3rd if they can make it over the ARR." "So lets take a look at the matches we have in store for us!" THE FINAL - Overthinkers VS Zoran "The grand finale of this RWC! It will be a face off between the hosts: Overthinkers! and 2-time champions Zoran! The zoranians looking for their 3rd title. Whilst Overthinkers' will be on the hunt for their first conquest." "Whilst theese two didn't meet in the last edition of the tournament, there is stuff we can add to this duel. Zoran has never lost a final, both finals they reached - they won, so that could serve as a bit of re-assurance. However they are facing the hosts, which will mean they might be on their backfoot due to the local's crowd." "And the thing about this, is both sides look incredibly, and i mean INCREDIBLY SIMILAR!! Both agressivley minded teams, that like playstyles focusing around pressuring their opponents and they both won by nearly the same margin over their opponents in the semis! 27-9 and 27-6 respectivley!" "With two teams so similar to eachother facing off in the finals, its hard to predict who the balance will lean to, however we can still give it a good look and analyze, look for key players and all that..." The Kites' - Overthinkers! "The locals go in with high spirits and expectations, however it wont be easy as they're facing the only 2 time tournament champion, in their 3rd final, a team that has never lost a final, and probably does not intend on losing this one. However they do have reason to be confident, they won against Myrgidyah, had a hard fought victory over the Sharks, and then sank the Pirates to the bottom of the podium, plus they had a better group stage performance than their rivals with only 1 loss to their name, as well as this, they had a PD of over 100, making them one of the most lethal teams in this tournament, their attack being nearly unstoppable under the right conditions." "And so the hosts prepare to defend their turf, they're under the leadership of coach: Anton Edwards they have a star-studded squad with lots of talent present, their team captain being their Nº8: Theresa Argent, as well as this they have players that recently shined in the match against the Pirates, like David Nauta, Bonnie Marculus, Micheal Anul, Ty Rex and many others that have lead their team to victory. Their playstyle has been talked about before but we'll do it again! Overthinkers is an offensive-minded team, meaning they beneffit from high possession percentages, good kicks and passing and the mentality to go in and convert any chance they get. They can quickly pressure their opponents but may struggle if they lack possession or if the rival team can stop them from converting, which could lead to a loss of morale or opportunities for their rivals to counter-attack." The Sun Hawks - Zoran! "The zoranians, after their fair share of suffering in the group stage, once again return to a RWC final after a one year absence, if they win they'll concrete their 3rd title, having more trophies combined than all other teams, as said before the've never lost a final, so they could be in for the maximum glory one can achieve in rugby, or they could be handed their first 2nd place medal. However they're not to be underestimated as an "old" side, they have experience. Despite starting weak with two losses in the groups, to Nouveauterra and Ryxtylopia, they bounced back, making the round of 16, bearly edging past Fujai, sending defending champions: Dalimbar packing back home, and putting an end to the Teralyians victory streak." "The sun hawks know the finals well, now they just have to win this one, it will not be easy, but they have probably one of - if not the most experienced team in this tournament. With coach: Amadahy Lvaguta at the lead, they have a well of experience at their disposal with players such as: Amo-Adawehi Tsasima, Salonitah Gelusva, Degataga Dvagahi, their captain: Dlasimahe Asduidv, Wohali Goyadv and many others eager to once again conquer the RWC trophy and bring it back to their islands. And they share basically the same playstyle as the team they'll be facing: being an offensive team. Since ive already convered Overthinkers' style of play and how theese sort of teams can beneffit or not, i wont say it here, but it will be interesting how two teams with very similar mindsets deal with eachother." The FINAL! "The obssession of many teams, achievement of few: The RUGBY WORLD CUP! The maximum conquest available in this sport for any player, and the most challanging one by far. The final of the rugby world cup can be the pinnacle of any player's career, even conquering it just one time is a huge achievement. And in this final while the teams are similar their backdrops couldn't be any different, on one side a team that made their debut only in the last RWC but have shown that experience isn't everything and that a team with good coordination and tactics can reach any heights, going up against a team veteran of the RWC series, that has already won the tournament and that whilst they've seen players come and go, are able to take advantage of their experience and keep a level of rugby only a few can match." "For the game itself, there isn't much to be said, its going to be a hard one to predict, actually- a hard one to guess since this will be a guess! But we have an idea of what MIGHT happen, both teams could start off cautious, waiting for their opponent to make the first move and set the rythm, saving their strength or the opposite, starting out strong and hopefully scoring and pressuring enough to keep their opponents at bay throught the match. Overthinkers being locals will have the psycological edge over Zoran, they'll have their people cheering on, but only time will tell who gets 2nd, and who'll get to lift the trophy up, and rejoice in having won the RWC!" THE BATTLE FOR BRONZE - Ryxtylopia VS Teralyon "The two losers of the semi finals still dont have to go home, at least not yet- As they have to decide who'll get to take the bronze medal, an award that still carries weight on its own right, here we still have a great deal of quality on display, on one side, last RWC 3rd-placed team: Ryxtylopia, on the other side experienced team that had an incredible run: Teralyon!" "Theese two teams didn't meet in the last RWC, with Ryxtylopia getting 3rd place after proving all doubters wrong and beating the cambrians to take home the bronze. Teralyon on the other hand got knocked out by Cambria on the quarter finals, after a decent run." "And we have another match with two similar sides! Both being some of the most balanced teams in the tournament, slightly favoring offense but being able to hold their own on the defense, again a hard match to predict but first lets see what each team brings to the table..." The Pirate - Ryxtylopia! "The Pirate has been battered by the kites, the rough seas of the match hard to navigate, and the ship has lost its way, however a new path has emerged for them: the path to third place! Despite being knocked out, the Pirate(s) have made it past several hurdles to get here, Topping group C, with only one loss against the newcomers: Nouveauterra. Then making it to the round of 16, going past the sekiyan rocks and then sending the giovanniland imperalists back home, despite the sort of dissapointing performance against Overthinkers, Ryxtylopia remains a strong team in its own right." "This is the second time in a row that Ryxtylopia makes it to the bronze medal match, a pretty good performance considering the Pirate(s) only debuted one year ago, the team lead by coach: Andreís Tivarra has made pretty good progress and has gained experience, with players like: Pailo Darrias, Andreís Guilbirto, team captain: Riberto Huichilca, Marco Xilta, Marco Va'atí, Ernysto Rivas and many others, they've been through many matches and won against stronger teams like Cambria and the Zoranians twice. Ryxtylopia is one of the more balanced teams, and balanced teams even offensive-leaning ones preffer to build up their plays and strike whenever the time is to do it is good, they also usually like to be in a good position to defend rival pushes, and regain possession to then facilitate their attacks. However if they lack the inicicative, or the rival doesn't give them any opportunities to make it past the defense they can struggle with scoring." The only team here without any nicknames - Teralyon! "Teralyon, the team that held a seemingly unstoppable unbeaten run was finally bested by the zoranians, this has been one of the best runs of a team yet, but despite no longer contending for gold, they can still go for bronze. The Teralyians had a perfect group stage run: 6 wins 0 draws and 0 losses. They slayed the Lions of Saint Mark in the round of 16, and in the quarter finals, got a much awaited revenge against the same team that knocked them out in the last tournament, but in the semifinals they got battered by the zoranians, however the loss isn't to say their team fell off, and underestimating them would be a bad thing to do for any team." "This could be the first podium placement for the Teralyians, meaning they wont want to dissapoint, they can still be a deadly machine and under coaches: Maldoc Wenavic and Vush Brajna they seek the bronze, they also have a high quality squad composed of players such as: Zivko Koci, Vladmir Kowic, Berisa Mirkovic, Nikita Kubitschek, Sambor Nokto, Radi Malenkov, Dragos Pantelic and many others, they've had tough opponents, most notably Cambria, but the Teralyians aren't an agressive side, and like said before they share a lot in common with the ryxtylopians, they like balance in their style of play, meaning they beneffit from the same things and they can suffer from also the same things as the Pirates, they're just slightly more agressive." The BATTLE FOR BRONZE! "The battle for bronze itself, like the final is a hard one to predict considering both teams are so incredibly similar, if Ryxtylopia wins they'll defend their bronze medal, which whilst not the wanted result is still better than the two other teams that finished in the podium last RWC, Dalimbar and United Adaikes. Meanwhile for Teralyon this could signal a shift in the Polari rugby hierarchy, and propell them to even better success and more recognition." "The game itself might see both teams starting off slow, as said before waiting for chances to build up their games, both teams have players with incredible physical abilties, many of the ryxtylopians starting off in the poor neighborhoods of major cities building up their strenghts there, and the Teralyians, well- i don't need to make reference to a stereotype but we all know what im referring to. Once the game starts we could expect a lot of possession changes and a game with little scoring at the start, until one side builds up a good enough lead and attempts to hold it." "And that's it for our program, we looked at each team, their matchup, their possible strategies, and possible game results for each of the matchups." "We're into the finals! We'll soon see who takes the trophy, the silver and the bronze home! This has been a RWC with many surprises, maybe not as many as the last one but revelations that impact the rugby landscape nontheless, for the ARR they'll test out if they can defend their bronze or if its time for a completley new podium from last year." "But that will be all for today's special. Ive been Inrique Miravez! Today's host, and i thank you for listening, and lending us your time to give you our take on this RWC! Have a good day."

Subscribe for μ5/month >> X Retrospective: What the BRAVO Act taught us about Overthinking politics Hailee Quinn Politics Editor Earlier this week, President Auguste signed the BRAVO Act into law, marking the conclusion of a legislative saga that no one really cared about outside of politics nerds. In fairness, we have more than our fair share of those in this country, but it’s still hard to get the average person invested in a highly contained drama that requires a political science degree to understand. As we enter the 1425 election cycle, however, this single bill revealed a number of loose cogs in old George’s well-oiled machine. All the politics surrounding it perfectly exemplify the issues being faced by party leadership as Auguste steps aside. Also, us wonks needed justification for all the energy we put into this, so here you have it. Lesson 1: NUP isn’t very united No one was more noticeably or dramatically divided on the issue than the New Union Party. As the largest and longest-active party in Overthinkers, it’s generally assumed that their leadership has things under control. When the Dome erupts into debate and NUPers are the first in line on either side, it erodes that image slightly. Not that this was an isolated incident. Voting records over the past two years show an increasing trend in noncompliance among NUP legislators. The alliance with the Progressive Overthinking Party has continued to hold, resulting in little risk to NUP’s policy control, but when the establishment party stops being established, all hell can break loose. Clara Silva has very blatantly spent the last year preparing to take the torch from Auguste. If NUP can’t put their whole weight behind her, it leaves the door open for other challengers. Lesson 2: POP isn’t progressing The POP was also divided, but it’s always divided. That’s exactly the problem. Young voters are flocking to this party in droves, but still can’t figure out how to work with one another effectively. Instead, you find four or five different camps forming within POP ranks on every issue. It’s like they’re a stack of REPs in a trenchcoat. Specifically, we know that the BRAVO Act had legislators choosing the hill of environment, public safety and public transport, or personal expense, then very dramatically staging their own deaths thereupon. Even on the same side of the debate, members of the same party were giving mixed messages. Alexander Wesson, Jon Corn and company have their work cut out for them putting the rails on their junior counterparts ahead of the election. If they can find the same page, their momentum might just carry their candidate over the line. Lesson 3: ODP has direction True to their name, the One Direction Party was the one party that didn’t have a compliance problem with the BRAVO Act (not counting the Radical Equality Party, because you never count the Radical Equality Party). From day one, they had their line figured out: regulation is invasive and costly; besides, why would the environmentally-minded parties try to forestall the adoption of eco-friendly technology? No doubt the tight reins are a necessity for Overthinkers’ furthest-right party, which has always sat in the minority position. After taking a big hit in the 1419 election due to the antics of one Torrance Maid, they clawed back to prior levels in 1921, and reached a new high in 1923. Whatever they’re selling, it’s catching on in the western and southern areas of Overthinkers. Recent trends in Varanius may only embolden them. Any political entity with ODP’s level of focus should not be underestimated. The elections of 1377 and 1401 taught us that. If NUP can’t find a way to derail their propaganda train, ODP stands to at least deal some damage that they can cash in on two, four, or six years from now. Lesson 4: Business interests are here to stay The BRAVO Act saw major players in the EV sector mobilize politically in a way that 40 years ago would have been shocking and out of line. Today, no one really gave it a second thought. They may not have gotten what they wanted, but they’ve opened a door. Overthinking legislators have been receptive to businesses and their concerns for ever, but there were unwritten rules that public and private sector understood. Lobbying was a low-key affair where you sat with your representative, they heard you out, and then you parted ways with no verifiable promises made. Corporations decided to switch tactics. Now, they’re pitching policies to politicians like they pitch their products to investors. You will hear an occasional murmur suggesting that more stringent lobbying rules are needed, but until a major corruption case comes out of it, most will continue to let it slide. As long as that is the case, big business will only become bolder in their courting of legislators. Lesson 5: No one is complacent It’s a small victory, for the people of Overthinkers more than anyone else, but it’s not all bad: if nothing else, the BRAVO Act’s rocky journey proves that our lawmakers are attentive and active. No one is too comfortable to the point where they will not rock the boat if they deem necessary. A complacent legislature would have shrugged and moved on the moment that the going got tough. Instead, they mobilized. They considered it important enough to snatch it from the bureaucratic void, fix the issues holding it back, and push it through. Regardless of your opinions, a proactive legislature is generally a net positive. It would be cliche to say that Overthinkers have a big decision to make next year, but it’s clear that our political leadership have some big decisions to make before then. The election may hinge on which camp gets their act together in time for the campaign season to start.

TVNC - Railo's Rage The transmission would start with Railo and Tixica arguing at the table, while Eiva tried calming them both down. [Railo]: You have to pay up! We both agreed to it!

I will fight! [Eiva]: At this rate this is going to go viral on the internet... Tixica would grab one of the empty snack bowls putting it on his head before putting one of his legs on a chair posing all heroic whilst pointing at Railo. [Railo]: Out of all your jokes here, this has to be the most ridiculous... [Tixica]: Tell that to my face big nose! [Railo]: BIG NOSE?! [Eiva]: Woahhhhh, Tixica calm down. [Railo]: Right that's it get off the table! [Tixica]: Over my dead body big nose! [Railo]: Right get over here you ill take my money! [Tixica]: Never! Railo would start to run after Tixica, visibly incredibly mad. [Railo]: JUST GET OFF THE SET! [Tixica]: NEVER!! ZORAN I HATE YOU ZORAN, I HATE ALL ZORANIANS, THEY RUINED MY DAY THEY RUINED MY FRIEND. [Eiva]: WOAH, WOAH- CUT! CUT! CUUT! CUUUUUUT!! [Tixica]: ZORAN WHY'D YOU THIS TO MY FRIEND- [Eiva]: CUT CUT!!! [Cameraman]: Stop! cut the tranmission! quick cut it! cu- Suddenly the screen would pause for a moment as the screen goes static, ending the short lived yet intense transmission.

Ryxtylopia vs Overthinkers - Match Highlights Both sides entered the field, Ryxtylopia wearing the 1st kit, as the local crowd started to cheer for their team, both sides standing for their national anthem as they prepared to begin the game. For the locals this could mean going to the finals on their own turf. For Ryxtylopia it could mean an improvement from last year's performance. Pablo Virriscayda would once again be commentating for TVNC, with the match about to start, as both teams just waited for the coinflip and took their sides. The coinflip was done with the hosts winning it and deciding to kick off. "Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare! We have Ryxtylopia vs Overthinkers now live from... well, Overthinkers! Its time for the coin toss... annd OVERTHINKERS! Wins it, they... they elect to kick off, its time to face the hosts in a match that promises intensity for both sides involved." KICK OFF: Overthinkers would inmediatley start off the match agressivley placing pressure on the defense which was contained for the first few minutes of the game, seeing a lot of mauls and rucks, as well as frecuent possession changes. "Ladies and Gentlemen... OVERTHINKERS VS RYXTYLOPIA HAS NOW BEGUN! Live directly from the host nation on TVNC, go Ryxtylopia, go Pirates!" 6 Minutes in... (0-0) Soon after the start of the match, Overthinkers would make the first dangerous approach towards the ryxtylopian line, with their Nº4: Jena Cantor, leading the attack after a ruck, taking advantage of the gaps in the Ryxtylopian line to get through, passing the midfield and making it about 3/4 into the pitch, before being tackled by Guilbirto Tivaña who with the help of Rinaco Patochá regained possession for the Pirates. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we got a ruck- and possession is now for... Cantor, attention, Cantor, Cantor, Cantor, Overthinkers on the attack, they cross the midfield, Cantor, Tivaña, Cantor, Tivaña, Cantooooooooor- Tackle! Tackle by Tivaña, Patochá regains possession for Ryxtylopia!" 13 Minutes in... (0-0) Ryxtylopia's first chance to score would be on the 13th, following one of Overthinker's attempts, with Armando Mataña making progress through the left, then passing the ball to Pailo Darrias, before he got tackled by Andrew Hall, with Overthinkers quickly restarting their attack after recapturing possession. "Mataña! Mataña on the left, making good progress, Mataña will probably need to look for a pass, attention! Mataña to Darrias, Darrias is through with the ball, and- TACKLE! Darrias gets tackled by Hall, Overthinkers is now back in the attack, the game remains 0-0!" 28 Minutes in... (3-0) The game after the first tries for each team started to devolve into a stalemate with Overthinkers pressuring the ryxtylopian defense, loosing possession, and Ryxtylopia attempting to go on the attack but then loosing possession to the Overthinkers counter-attack. This would sort of end with one of Overthinker's attacks in the 28th, when their team captain and Nº8: Theresa Argent led a kick that ended in the hands of David Nauta, who was able to quickly turn around Marco Va'atí when approaching the goal, before being surrounded by Ernysto Rivas and Ferrán Lisquerva, which resulted in David attempting to score a drop goal, kicking the ball between the two posts and earning Overthinkers the first points of the game. "We got Argent, Argent Argeeeeeeeeent- kick to Nauta, the hosts continue pressuring the defense, Nauta, Va'atí will try the tackle and- MISS! VA'ATÍ MISSES! Attention a big chance has opened up for the hosts! Rivas And Lisquerva must act! And- DROP, KICK! SCORE! Overthinkers has scored a drop goal, thanks to David Nauta!" 33 Minutes in... (10-0) The pressure from the locals continued on to the 33rd, when the first try of the game was scored, following a maul, Alan Cord took possession for the locals, making a good pass past Rinaco Zicha, to Bonnie Marculus, confusing the ryxtylopian defense which was concentrated parallel to Marculus on the other side of the pitch, opening gaps, which Marculus took advantage of, as Rivas was unable to do anything Marculus scoring the try. Following this Hank Moor would take the conversion kick, scoring and putting the locals 10 up on the score. "Annnd... Possession for Cord! Cord, Cord, Kick good kick to Marculus! Maybe they'll try passing to the other side, no wait- GAP GAP! WATCH OUT, ITS MARCULUS! Marculus, Marculus, Marculus, Rivasssss- Isn't in position- Marculuuuuuuuuus- Score, Score! Overthinkers lands the try!" "It will be Hank Moor, for the conversion, if they land this they'll be 10 up, attention ladies and gentlemen... Moor, Moor, Moooooooooooooooooooor- Score! Overthinkers lands the conversion!" 37 Minutes in... (10-3) Not all would be lost for Ryxtylopia yet as before the first half ended the took a jab at Overthinkers following one of many possession changes during the match, with Ferrán Lisquerva regaining possession and making a dash forward through a gap left on the Overthinkers' defense, before stopping after Ty Rex cut his path off; with little options, Lisquerva kicked the ball for a drop goal, landing it and scoring Ryxtylopia a badly needed 3 points. "Overthinkers winning in the first half ladies and gentlemen! But watch out, its Lisquerva through the left, he needs to look for a pass! Attention, Lisquerva, he's cut off by Rex! He needs to pass Lisquerva, KICK, LISQUERVAAAA- SCORE! Lisquerva has scored, Ryxtylopia gains 3, match remains 10-3!" HALF TIME (10-3) Both sides end the first half tired, as the referee starts the half time break, Tivarra's team going in with the obvious disadvantage, as the local's attack had pressured his defense enough to stop them from going on the attack. "Annnd half time! Everybody- Overthinkers winning the match 10-3! We'll be back soon after the half time break here on TVNC, and we'll see if the locals can amplify their advantage or if Tivarra's side gets their baggage in order." 47 Minutes in... (10-3) The game continued with a good chance for Overthinkers in the 47th, following a forward deflection by Huilchica that ended in a scrum, this time Lee Julius leading a good attack, before leading the pass to Cory Villa the locals continuing to lead a dangerous attack, only stopped by a great tackle by Ernysto Rivas near the line, saving the Pirates from the try, and preparing a counter attack that would stop at the midfield. "Scrum, scrum, scrum, scrum. Julius! Julius for Overthinkers! They're keeping the pressure, now to Villa, Villa, Villa is through! This could end in a try... Villaaaaaaa- Tackle! Riiiiiivas! Saves the team yet again! Ryxtylopia loosing against the hosts 10-3!" 51 Minutes in... (17-3) A poor performance by Mirta Palmiras at the midfield let to the loss of possession for the pirates which gave Overthinkers a perfect chance to strike considering the disposition of the ryxtylopian players, a chance they took well, with Bryan Harding retaking the ball and making it through the first ryxtylopian line, with Quista Farris failing a tackle allowing Bryan a gap to pass to Nauta, who then approached the line in front of the goal, passing a badly-positioned Rivas and scoring. Jena Cantor took the conversion kick, scoring it and amplifying the lead. "Palmiras, tackle! Ball to Bryan! Its Bryan! Bryan, Bryan, through the gap! The defense is still struggling with the pressure, attention- Farris- FAIL! She's missed the tackle! Bryan to Nauta! Nauta she's through, Its up to Rivas! Annnd... SCORE! Overthinkers scores a try from David Nauta in front of the goal!" 56 Minutes in... (17-6) Ryxtylopia would continue struggling with the constant pressure from Overthinkers, as their team was having an easier time with possession retention than other agressive teams, however the ryxtylopian's would again get some points back, from a kick by Marco Va'atí to Guivina Divarra ending on a parellel line towards the local's goal, with defenders already charging at her to regain possession, she took the risk, attempting a drop goal which she scored. "Alright, its Va'atí on the flank- Kick, its for Divarra! Past the midfield, Andrew Hall could try the tackle, Divarra doesn't have a lot of help here, she'll have to kick! Attention- Divarraaaaaaaaaa! SCORE! Divarra scores a drop goal, Ryxtylopia takes some back, its now 17-6!" 66 Minutes in... (24-6) The game still did not end however. As in the 66th minute Armando Mataña committed a knock on, with the scrum being awarded to Overthinkers', as their team took full advantage of it, winning possession out of the scrum and taking advantage of the disposition of the ryxtylopian team for Carson West to lead a pass towards Hank Moor, who avoided Rivas and scored the 3rd try for Overthinkers. Marculus took the conversion, scoring it. "Matañaaaaaaa- That looks like a bad deflection, yes. SCRUM FOR OVERTHINKERS! Attention everybody... ...Right, annd- Carson with possession! Attention, Carson to Moor, Moor, Moor Rivas is the only one that can stop this annnd- he doesn't! Overthinkers Scores!" 69 Minutes in... (27-6) During the 69th minute, following a maul, Theresa Argent achieved possession for the hosts, taking the ball into the ryxtylopian side of the pitch, but while looking for a pass Patochá fouled them by pulling on their arm, almost getting sent off, and handing a penalty to the hosts, which Micheal Anul converted, bringing up the score to 27-6 favoring the hosts. "Theresa, Patochá, and ouch! That looked painful! Foul by patochá, this will result... yeah confirmed. Penalty for Overthinkers! Following the foul from Patochá, Overthinkers has been awarded a penalty!" "We'll have Micheal Anul to kick this one, attention everybody... Anuuuul. Score! Score! Overthinkers has scored the penalty, the game is now 27-6" 75 Minutes in... (27-9) Despite the loss, it wasn't quite over for Tivarra's side yet, as with the Overthinkers' attack loosing steam, the Pirates had one last chance to take points back in the 75th, this time Marco Xilta lead throuh the flank. Pulling a 90º turn right in front of A.J. Jackson, and making it near the goalpost being perpendicular to it, with this Xilta took the opportunity to score a drop goal, sending the ball curving past the left post and into the goal, gaining another 3 points for the pirates in the dying minutes of the match. "5 minutes to go! Attention we got Marco Xilta with possession! Xilta is in Xilta is through, Running through the flank! Jacksooooon- What a turn! Xilta can get some points! Xiltaaaaaaaaa- SCORE! Xilta scores the drop goal! Its now 27-9!" FULL TIME (27-9) That last jab at the goal would mark the end of the match, with the crowd cheering, as Overthinkers took the pass to the finals, with Tivarra's team going back into the changing rooms. "Annnnnnnnd FULL TIME! Ladies and Gentlemen! Ryxtylopia is out! Tivarra's team fought but today wasn't their day and they fall to the hosts! Overthinkers will advance to the finals! This is not the end for Tivarra's side, they still have a shot at the 3rd place medal!" "The hosts will be advancing, we'll get the results of the Teralyon vs Zoran match soon, but this will mark the end of today's match, Tivarra will have to wait another year to have a shot at the final, but the team has made it far once again and they'll soon be competing for 3rd place." "But this will be the end for today's transmission, we thank the hosts: Overthinkers for allowing us to set it up, and for hosting this RWC in the first place, ive been Pablo Virriscayda, rugby comentator for TVNC, and i will hopefully see you ladies and gentlemen for THE BRONZE MEDAL MATCH! Have a nice day." The transmission ends.

Thank you!!
