Calling The Grand Feux Pas of the Interior ! Grab Interior by the horns or forfeit the opportunity to whoever else wants a crack at it. (but be nice to Athanasius' horn...no grabbing)

In other words, The Crimson Order.

And if Feux doesn't do something with his assignment to handle Interior quickly, I'll be happy to appoint anyone else with the drive to handle it instead. Wanting a position is worthless to the community if you don't jump at the chance when it's provided.

Greetings Friends ! In case you haven't noticed (and how could you not ?), The seat of Delegacy of The West Pacific has changed hands, and is now held by Wickedly Evil People (aka Eli). Delegate Yy4u renounced his membership in the WA, and provided a rare display of the manipulation of Game Mechanics. This flaw in NationStates allows a Delegate to leave the World Assembly yet continue to access and use regional controls until update. NS Game Mechanics and player activity does not favor democracy, regardless of the claims of champions of the ideology of democracy or communism in NationStates. Such ideologies are only an illusion within the limits of Game Mechanics and NS Rules. Nothing more than RP themes draped upon the realities of the game. As is the new WECA of TWP. I quote NS Moderation from 9 years ago: "Unfortunately, the Feeders are all Oligarchies." And so they all are, regardless of their themes and intents. This is truth, and ingame truth is to be embraced. A full investigation is underway into the exact nature of participation in the unfolding of recent events. Opportunists and Friends of The West Pacific have both made use of our situation, and we know who you are. (Welcome ! Please enjoy your time with us in The West Pacific. The Lounge and RMB is open.) A full and public report will be presented in the due course of the investigation. I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to those that came to the aid of Delegate Yy4u and myself, All Good People. In uncertain times, decisions can become a quandry, and laying your choices before the world is an act of bravery and courage. Once upon a time in the long history of NationStates, there were more decisive choices made by the players than seems the case today. In more recent times, there is a indecisive spirit of tolerance. A...."go along to get along" approach that has neutered the true spirit of NS gameplay. It is this same pathetic spirit that tolerates fool ideologies such as Nazism in NationStates. Stand up for yourselves, stand beside your regionmates and choose a course. Don't sit idle and let the NS world be laid waste by such foolishness. To those that are asking: "What are your plans ?".... The Provisional Government of TWP continues it's operations on The West Pacific forums. We recognize the truth that a forum community is not defined by who is sitting in the Delegacy. It is defined by the members of the active community working together. The banjections of Yy4u, Intelligent Holograms, and All Good People have been cleared and all have returned home to TWP: we appreciate and thank Delegate Wickedly Evil People for this. The TWP Foreign Affairs desk will continue in it's plans to release our regular update in the next few days, and the TWP Armed Forces continues to execute missions around NS. The Regional Assembly and Disassembly will soon open voting on a new name. Everyone in The West Pacific is welcome to participate. The last point I want to mention is this: Remember what Max said: "Regions will Fall" Thank you for your time and attention *tips hat* - Westwind of All Good People, The West Pacific

I grant that was a surprise change of policy. I was just as likely to have been caught on that point as Dark, as I was as unaware of the change in policy as the rest of the Guardians.

More old log bits.... * Dalimbar wonders why it's so quiet now... <Westwind> because no one is talking <Westwind> ;P <Darkesia> I'm not talking cuz I know better. <Darkesia> <Westwind> lol

Oh, I agree. *nods*

*Unstucks unicorn* There's always liquor in TWP. Every forum and thread is well stocked by the Westwind Catering Service, the Rolheath Liquor Cabinet Company, the BBD Importers, and the finest Darkesian Chocolate Liqueurs.

Watch out for that cliff...

All the good dictatorships are gone. Besides, even dictatorships require some kind of popular support to succeed.

As usual, The Poo Dynasty only appears when he sees an opportunity to play with an 'evil' government or authority. He has been completely inactive in TWP otherwise, so he has no knowledge of the state of the TWP government prior to the change in the Delegacy. The Provisional Government of The West Pacific appreciates the support of Spiritus in these uncertain times, and sends our heartfelt thanks to you. The governance of The West Pacific however is not dependent upon who sits in the Delegate's seat. While WECA and their supporters pledge their support to one another, The Provisional Government will continue it's operations here in our home on The West Pacific forum. And we hope to soon have a new update to deliver to our Embassies across NationStates.

I think it's a great turnout for any region. Feeders can't get that kind of turn out usually.

NS life would be boring otherwise. And then there's the Poo Dynasty (aka JAL, aka, John Ashcroft Land) who lives for the next rogue Delegacy and banjection purge. Whenever there's a sleeping Delegate with inattentive Guardians, there will be a JAL puppet gunning for the Delegacy.

How 'bout we change it to The Crimson Order

Hmmmm....yes. Well as I keep reminding everyone, my memory is like swiss cheese.

You should have been around before Influence then......and before banlist limits....

You're always hoping for a purge

If you read their comments carefully, you'll find references to various past era's of NS. Old times are not always forgotten.

I would never strike down such loyalty.

I did not know they were foreign troops, thank you. Can you tell me who they represent ?

See how you are ?

All my IRC logs are old. TWP 2005: <Glenon> Biyah, Fae thinks you're special <Shasoria> what kind of special? like 'ride-the-short-bus' special? <Biyah> I'm special? <Biyah> woo! <Biyah> :-P <Shasoria> Sorry, he hasn't had his meds today...

Yes....imagine the Wickedly Evil Chocolate Batallions, forcing the children of TWP to eat chocolate till they're sick...

Possibly, yeah. Maybe it would effect GCR's and not UCR's or vice-versa. Since the forum post linked to [violet]'s description of the already coded Association, and it's problems....it would make sense to somehow combine the features of Associations and Regions into a single hybrid form.

I think they're replacing Regions with Associations. Thus....ALL regions will fall.
