And now......the answers:
 
1. Which one of the following has NOT served as a TWP Delegate?
The Correct Answer is: A Romulan
A Roo fur addict = Bhang Bhang Duc
A Chihuahua = Yy4u
A Delegarth = Elegarth
A Snuffleupagus = All Good People
A Horse named 'Mr. Ed' = Enlightened Defenders
2. Which Feeder Region has the best Military?
The Correct Answer is: The West Pacific
However, voting for The North Pacific was expected, and should be respected...
3. True or False: There are really only five NS players, the rest are all puppets and personas. (Max and violet don't count) The Correct Answer is: True
 
 

I remember, one of the things that used to be fairly synonymous with TWP was a threadjack. A thread staying on topic was... well, it was pretty bizarre. Things almost always went off topic, even if only for a few posts. It was something noted by TWPers and by people visiting our forum from other regions. It just happened, and was almost expected.
West shared a super appropriate image yesterday in Discord that pretty much sums it up...

 
This is sort of a blend of history and culture, I suppose :-P

And here is what Halo sent to me:
 

*COOOKIES!*

*waves, accepts rum, glitters you twice, then passes over a glitter free cookie*

Dear TWP,
 
I know, I'm bad about staying on a forum the last... few years... and I haven't been great about staying active for the last... few years... but I'll try harder this time! Really!
 
Want some cookies? Of course you want cookies. *sets out cookies*
 

Thank you. :-)

TNP Elects New Del, VD Joins Lib

Lines were long at some precincts
18 November, 2012
It's been a whirlwind few weeks in The North Pacific. Earlier this month Eluvatar was recalled as delegate after a prolonged absence. Seven candidates crowded the field in the special election including sitting Vice Delegate Tim and long-time Minister of Defense McMasterdonia.
Debate centered around World Assembly voting policy and the delegate's role in the cabinet, which is popularly elected.
Things got heated when Unibot equated McMasterdonia's platform to an abandonment of democracy. Later, following a question posted in McMasterdonia's campaign thread about how he would hold ministers accountable, Unibot interjected, saying, “[McMasterdonia's] only apparent example is decorum and inactivity” and that he only sought decorum because he “didn't want to a hear minister tell him to f—k off”.
In the end McMasterdonia won, carrying 55.56% of the vote. His closest competitors were Tim with 24.44% and Speaker of the Regional Assembly Kingborough with 8.89% and political gadfly Romanoffia with 6.67%.
Shortly after the election Vice Delegate Tim left TNP to join the attempted liberation of Eastern Islands of Dharma. His abrupt move raised eyebrows as Tim was not a member of the North Pacific Army (NPA) which was involved in liberation attempt. He did not resign his post and later returned to TNP, saying a statement is forthcoming.
More news as it develops.

Welcome to the new, fresh install of our forums. As you can see there are some changes in Invision again (we were on 3.1 prior to our Virus Scare, and this is 3.3.4, so a few updates between.)
I will be messing with settings as we get used to the new forums, and will most likely have some tweaking to do for a while, but it seems fairly stable for the moment.
Everyone feel free to re-register your user accounts, and we can start moving forward on how we want the forums to look.
