Kraut Killers

I'm rather indifferent. Especially considering what I drink can make some folks go blind.

Oooh, you shouldn't have said anything. Now I need to hunt it down.

Now that's an idea there Westwind. I'll have to get one of my stills over to working on a chocolatey booze that would make a nice truffle middle.

We can just mix your alcohol into your chocolate. You'll never even notice! And before long you'll be well above the legal minimum for politiking.

Quite true, quite true. Anyway, an update! Update IV - 2013-05-29 Forum: Gatesville Region: Gatesville Inc Population: 374 nations WA Endorsements: 76 High Council: Nevadar - High Queen Gates - Grand Poobah Noctaurus - WA Delegate Kraut Killers - Forum Administrator Sudros - General of the Army Mr. Eviscerator - Internal Affairs Advocate Pope Lexus X - Theological Advocate Ukaraine - Court Jester Foreword Hello everybody! I hope you all enjoy these morsels of GV that I've laid out for you today. Some folks might remember me as that former FAA that Gatesville used to have. You might also remember me as a former WA Delegate of Gatesville. Today I bring you the news as Gatesville's Regional BAMF and most importantly, Interim Foreign Affairs Advocate. Don't worry, good ol' Pope Lexus should be around for the next update. Cheers! -Kraut Killers Gatesville and TWP Declare War on Sobriety With Gatesville's triumphant return to NS, it was only a matter of time before old friends found their way to each other. In this regard, Gatesville and The West Pacific have rekindled their storied alliance for the new times. In typical GV/TWP fashion, we have declared war on sobriety and marsupials, while mandating a steady diet of chocolate. We hope that this treaty, like those in the past, will stand the test of time and continue to foster relations between our two regions. TSP Dissolves Relations, Gatesville Declares War, Cooler Heads Prevail It was a tense morning when The South Pacific dissolved their relations with Gatesville over a misunderstanding with their recent coup. In response to the dissolution of embassies, Gatesville named TSP an enemy of the state and promply declared war. Fortunately, Queen Nevadar and TSP WA Delegate, Brutland and Norden, were able to meet and hash out the disagreement. Everyone left the meeting on cordial terms, the declaration of war and enemy of the state tag withdrawn, and embassies opened back up. Gatesville is pleased that we are once again on amicable relations with our friends in TSP. Gatesville Leaves the Sovereign Confederation Following lengthy discussion, the Gatesville High and Middle Councils have decided to withdraw Gatesville's membership in the Sovereign Confederation. This decision has been taken to ensure that, with Gatesville's rebirth, the new region take the best route possible to pursue its goals to protect freedom and the sovereignty of all nations and regions in NationStates. We wish our former colleagues in the Sovereign Confederation the best and we intend to work to maintain the links we have established there in furtherance of our shared aims. Councils of Gatesville v. The Conservative Front, Pt II After several witnesses, much testimony, and a lot of deliberation, the Inquisition passed down the ruling of guilty of being a supporter of the WA (2-1). Conservative Front's punishment for such heinous crimes are as follows: 1. CF is hereby required to give declaration that he has seen the error of his ways and will support Gatesville in the fight against the WA and her allies. 2. CF will join the Gatesville Guard at the rank of Trainee, lower than the standard entry rank of Private. 3. CF will be required to show his official reprimand in his forum signature at all times. We hope to see a change in the ways of CF so he may once again be held it the esteem of years past. World Assembly Report As always, our esteemed WA Advocate, Gatchina, has produced another WA report in painstaking detail. WA Affairs Report IV Recent WA Votes: 1. Stopping Suicide Seeds (GA) Outcome: Passed: 9,956 to 4,312 2. Condemn Jakker (SC) Outcome: Passed 9,863 to 2,111 3. Repeal "Reduction of Abortion Act (GA) Outcome: Passed 9,183 to 3,977 4. Condemn Aglrinia (SC) Outcome: Passed 7,804 to 4,106 On the Declaration of War was defeated by an overwhelming majority of WA voters. This shows us that even the “peaceful” hippies that exert great influence in the WA are susceptible to concerns for national security and therefore sovereignty. WA Nations & Endorsement Number of WA Nations: 95 (25%) Endorsement Percentage: 76 (85%) The region has increased its membership from 83 to 95 WA members since last update. 95 out of 374. This increase is good and we are closer than ever to our first 100 endorsements. Yet the total number of WA nations is not quite where I’d like it to be. We have hit 25% for WA nations; this is a big milestone for us and though it may not seem like it, we have jumped a big hurdle. Miscellaneous The Holy Inquisition has found Conservative Front guilty of supporting the WA. We in Gatesville are a forgiving bunch and thus the punishment is not so severe. Conservative Front will change his ways and will continue to serve this Great Region in the valiant way he did in the past. This trial is a testament to the extreme dedication of this Region to our mission, that we would put an esteemed citizen on trial for supporting the WA. Our allegiance to our own citizens and to our mission makes us a truly remarkable region! It should also be noted that Gatesville and Osiris have recently set aside our differences and worked together to craft the current resolution at vote in the General Assembly. A repeal of the Physical Sites Protection Act was co-authored by The Dourian Embassy (Osirian WA Delegate) and Gatchina (Gatesvillian WA Advocate). At this moment the voting is heavily in favor of the repeal, and it appears that it will remain that way. This repeal is just the first of many Gatesville backed or influenced pieces of legislation that will be making it through the World Assembly, and it would be our pleasure to continue the work with our like minded Osirian friends.

Howdy folks of TWP. I will be stepping in for Lexus for the next few weeks as Interim FAA. He tried to retire on us, but we wouldn't let him. So he took a leave of absence instead. I'm hoping to have an update out sometime this week. But we'll see if Nev comes up with more dastardly plans for me that delay it any.

A cart can have four wheels TAO. Now where did you hide our booze?

Well I guess if you guys won't return our booze cart we'll just have to drink all of your booze instead. *starts picking locks to various liquor cabinets and stealing booze*

Well, I'm allergic to pouchies, but that's not a problem around here, so no.

So would a humble foreigner be allowed to join? To be honest I'm just after the snazzy chocolate uniform. They look like they'd be handy when you're marching and hungry.

It's the only kind of trial GV knows how to put on.

Oh, you know, not much. Just fighting tyranny and all that jazz. Ruining people's days, stomping on toes, and making sure folks know GV is back in business. The usual really.

Many of you already know me, but for those who don't, I'm Kraut Killers of Gatesville. Currently I'm serving as Regional Admin and Nevadar's right hand man, and I'm always serving as Gatesville's Regional BAMF. I figured it's been a while since I saw the TWP forums, so I decided to come on over and say howdy.
