Giovanniland

It's been a question I've been personally thinking of as I study, but I'm inclined to take the second option (not really poor, but lower-income) for it means to spend a lot more time of my life doing something I like rather than the jobs everyone wants to take here.

Thanks for looking into it!

As far as I know you can change your choice.

Greetings Admins! I've noticed an issue with thread views that seems to have started late December, so around a month ago, that first I thought would be temporary but seems like it's consistent with any new thread created. Basically, the views counter for every thread created since then remains at zero, I also believe older threads' counters are also frozen and don't account for new views since the date mentioned. Posting here in the hopes that you may know a solution to the issue, even if the problem is a minor one that doesn't really affect user experience. Thanks in advance for your time!

A fairly important question for life choices. Pick an option and optionally post your reasoning!

Idem with @no1crate, @Flauschi918, and @Laudesiaas well please - other recent additions to Newspaper staff that I didn't request masking for yet.

That's similar to me, I don't work with animals but I do have several pets at home and would be great to know how they feel through words. And the weather since I have moved to the new house is awesome with no need to change.

In honor of our ongoing TWPLAZA event we have a nature-themed TWPChooses question! Pick an option and optionally post your reasoning.

Thank you for introducing yourself! Here's to a great stay in the West Pacific, and don't hesitate to ask for help on getting involved if you need!

If you could change your life in either way forever, what would you pick and why?

Thanks for the introduction! I wish you a great stay in the West Pacific, if you need help on how to get involved let us know!

Following an old trend... which year do you choose and why? Tell us about are your expectations, hopes, wishes and new years resolutions for 2023, and whether you think next year will be better or worse.

To answer my own question, this Christmas was very nice despite me and my family just arriving at our new home! We had some relatives who already lived in the same city (one of the reasons we moved, aside from other things like the climate) so they were able to come and we had a nice dinner and talk. So I'd be glad to do it all over again!

In the interest of continuing the series, I've offered to UA about handling the forum poll hosting for a while until there's someone else interested in taking over (let me know if you are!) For this poll, since a lot of holidays have already finished while others see their end soon, tell us about how you celebrated this year and if you want to continue that way or change it for the future!

[population maps being reworked]

Homemade, since the personal touch can mean a lot to the recipient!

10 smaller gifts, for the surprise and joy feeling when opening each one.

A colorful TWP seems the choice for most people!

Colors are lovely, I usually use a combination of white, red and green.

Could @Flauschi918 be masked as Newspaper for access to the private forum?

SPORTRAVEL Around Giovanniland through Football Stadiums: 2nd World Cup Special II Posted 17/11/1422 We're back at SporTravel with another post about the 2nd World Cup of Football tournament! While the Giovannilandians prepare to face off the Landslag from Fujai, after beating the teams of Alchera and Kurabis and most recently losing to Cambria, we will present two more iconic stadiums. Kampo Vetto Urydano, Uryde, Lavanda Prima Capacity: 45,300 People think of the Stadio Abreo-Florino when the question of a football stadium in the northern city of Uryde is given. I mean, that's fair considering its highlight during the II Summer Esferiad last year and its prominence in the city center, but it's actually not the first stadium in this city of five hundred inhabitants! The title goes to the Uryde Old Field, one of the first football fields in the entirety of Giovanniland, founded in the early 13th century. Back then, Uryde had less than half its current population, as the city was starting to attract people from rural areas amid industrialization, and the football's capacity of around 10,000 seats was hailed as a big project back then. Nowadays, the stadium has been expanded four-fold as it takes the role of a secondary stadium in Uryde, where people can see its historical elements, appreciate the coast, and run away from the big events in the Stadio Abreo-Florino. The home team is called the Leoni Lavanduli, a historical reference from millennia ago to the Lavandulan Empire, which had its capital at Uryde, then called Lavandula. Sadly, the Leoni haven't been as strong as they were in the early years of Giovannilandian football, in which they had back-to-back titles at 1320 and 1321 for example, although new management and stadium modernization may mean a brighter future ahead. To their credit, though, their attacking midfield Hortensia Purparbone was chosen as part of the Starting XI for the national team, while their rivals from Uryde Pedesfera are only represented by two reserve players from the city. Hortensia is a young star from the team and looks to be quite promising in national football! Stadio Montano L'Apertura, L'Apertura, Kordelleria Capacity: 7,500 The Giovandolian Mountains of the southern Andolian Territory are not where you'd usually look for a football stadium, but in the largest city of this sparsely-populated region, travelers are able to find a quite iconic arena with a breathtaking view from the nearby mountains! The city name itself comes from its strategic location at a valley within the mountain chain, and is the main route for people looking to pass through the north into the Violet Valley or south into the Emunian Valley. One of the main aspects it's known for, however, is the altitude of over 2,000 meters that often makes players from the coasts of Porto Violeto or Uryde take some time to adapt. That's all for the second part of this series! Thank you for reading, and we wish you good and safe travels if you are looking to visit these and other football places in Giovanniland.

SPORTRAVEL Around Giovanniland through Football Stadiums: 2nd World Cup Special Posted 15/11/1422 Remember our posts about iconic Giovannilandian stadiums this June? Well, welcome to SporTravel once more, because we're now back with a special post themed on the 2nd World Cup of Football! As we've already wrote, football is praised by a majority of Giovannilandians that like sports, and we have a country with many powerful national teams competing in leagues that get millions of fans every year. The peoples of Giovanniland, in Aura and Andolia alike, like attending football stadiums even when they're not actively having games, to appreciate these beautiful buildings and the sport itself. Therefore, this list will hopefully be a several-part series over the next few weeks, but for Part One, we have chosen to showcase one stadium in Aura and one in Andolia. Flore Violeta, Porto Violeto, Primolido Capacity: 65,000 You might ask, haven't we already talked about this stadium before? In which case you'd be right, but we'd be remiss considering the stellar performance of their home team, the Bellatori Violeti (Violet Warriors), in the 1422 national tournament of the first division of Giovannilandian football! In fact, from the four players represented in the national team that are from Porto Violeto, two come from this team. These are the left outside back Manuella Giakobo, part of the starting XI, and reserve right outside Sergio Feragi Faustiano. Talking about the stadium itself, despite getting its renovation very recently, it is already a beautiful tourist attraction of the largest city in Giovanniland, with beautiful color tones mixing purple, violet and lavender. For some historical background, the team was founded in 1370 and recently gained attention as they were bought by Giovannilandian giant Macaw Technologies, who invested in the team not only through the beautiful infrastructure but also by hiring famous players, earning a rightful spot among the most famous Giovannilandian teams. Andoliarena, Andoliavilla, Lido Flavi Capacity: 83,700 An iconic tropical stadium near the coast fits the Arare Andoliavillesi (Andoliavillese Macaws), one of the most famous, if not the most famous and successful football team in the entirety of the Andolian Territory of Giovanniland. The Arare are an old team in Giovannilandian football, having been founded over a century ago in the year of 1306, and are currently the defending team of the national tournament's first division. Although they face a fierce challenge from the Quire Quorivane during the end of the tournament, being currently second with one less point than the first place, their history includes a whopping seven national titles, in the years of 1325, 1349, 1350, 1373, 1391, 1410, and 1421! Furthermore, they are very nicely represented in the national squad with goalkeeper Sergio Pradobeno-Turri and the rising star young striker Matteo Ventomar. Their stadium, the Andoliarena, features a transparent dome that allows for air conditioning during the summer for players to stand the traditional heat, and a large capacity that makes it one of the largest stadiums in Giovanniland! Not only that, but the area that encircles the stadium has several beautiful trees and even a small lake, while on the other side of the photo one can see the houses leading to the center of Andoliavilla, the beaches of the Flavian Coast, and the great Darkesian Sea. That's all for the first part of this series! Thank you for reading, and we wish you good and safe travels if you are looking to visit these and other football places in Giovanniland.

Sports Report Newsroom, Giovannia—10:00 AM International Atomic Time, 14th November 1422 Good morning Giovanniland! I am Karlo Nakamura-Edrense, the main host of the Giovannilandian Sports Report and of its special football edition that aims to keep Giovannilandians informed of the latest happenings of the 2nd World Cup of Football. Today, we'll be covering the results of the first two matches played by our football team and how they went! Matchday 1 - Giovanniland 1-0 Alchera (Halftime: 1-0) Goals: Hortensia Purparbone (30') The first half of the match was the more active part of both halves, and also when the only goal of the match happened! The match started with fair attacks from both sides, and a very good performance from the strikers of Giovanniland: Gustavo Zapata, Pietro Takeda, and Matteo Ventomar. However, it was not any of them who scored the Giovannilandian goal, but rather the attacking midfield Hortensia! With assistance from Matteo, she received the ball in the small area and was no match for the Alcheran goalkeeper, who was successfully confused by Hortensia's distraction and did not catch her ball at the left corner of the net. After that, although Giovannilandian strikers reasonably continued their attempts at striking more goals, the coach Rodrigo Violetone switched the striker Pietro with the center back Teodoro Sonserina in order to increase the defense, and that worked effectively! During the second half, even though there were no more goals from Giovanniland to increase the advantage, the goalkeeper and the back players made sure to stop any Alcheran attempt. The team for Alchera was hoping to at least draw, but the hope never came to fruition and the match was won by Giovanniland. Nevertheless, captain Lorentio Santo-Ferrari commented that the opponents' performance was very impressive and respected the opposing team. Matchday 2 - Kurabis 0-1 Giovanniland (Halftime: 0-0) Goals: Matteo Ventomar (89') Unlike the match between Giovanniland and Alchera, the Giovannilandian and Kurabi teams together contributed to a far more interesting and fun game to watch! One can see this by the fact there were no goals at all during the first half of the match. One of the closest attempts was Giovanni Oliverde-Lastrilla's strike that ended up hitting the goalpost, and a Kurabi launch into the net that was annulled because the striker was offside. During halftime, coach Rodrigo outlined a more offensive strategy for the second half. This strategy, while continuing with the same starting eleven players, resulted in a more active confrontation of the opposing players and more ball possession by the Giovannilandian teams, leading to more shots and shots on target as well. The match was looking to be a draw, but yet, none of the teams gave up the chance of getting those 3 points from a win! Striker Gustavo launched a strong attack that required a fierce defense from the Kurabi goalkeeper, sending it backwards and gaining the Giovannilandians a corner. From there, Gabriella Orfeo sent the ball to Matteo's feat, who successfully launched the ball into the net on the dying minutes of the match! A very close game overall, with strong Giovannilandian and Kurabi performance.
