Official Statement - Chancellor Amelia Marcus
My great Sekiyans,
It is with great sadness that I heard about the news from Andereik on April the 11th, and my heart goes out to all those involved and their families. I would like to personally thank those of the Sekitz Metropolitan Police and the brave officers from E-6B. Sekiya condemns the actions of these terrorists, and will continue to hunt down and destroy the group responsible for this.
However, we must remain strong as a nation, and not bend to the will of martyrs. Therefore, I would like to reaffirm the Republic of Sekiya's foreign policy to The United Nations of Kalmach.
The 3rd and 7th Airborne Battalions will remain in Southern Hallessekratamia until a resolution is reached. These brave men and women are working hard to promote peace in the region and assisting with rebuilding and distribution of aid. We will not suspend our diplomatic mission to The United Nations of Kalmach, nor will we close any of it's consulates. We will not deport any diplomats in the Republic of Sekiya from The United Nations of Kalmach. No tariffs will be placed on any trade between the Republic of Sekiya and The United Nations of Kalmach, nor will the Republic of Sekiya support any embargo. We will continue to encourage peace negotiations between The United Nations of Kalmach and The Prince-Bishopric of Garahun. The Republic of Sekiya will not start a movement to suspend The United Nations of Kalmach from the NCC. On brighter terms, I am pleased to welcome home the national rugby team from The Free State of Dalimbar! The Free State of Dalimbar has my person thanks for taking such wonderful care of Sekiyan players and fans alike. Additionally, I thank Associate Minister Leo Frisk from Cambria for their visit, and I hope this will hopefully path the way to greater relations between Sekiya, Cambria and Polaris.
I personally thank each and every Sekiyan working hard for the prosperity of the nation, of the continent and of the world.
Chancellor Amelia Marcus

Look at what I just found...the better version of the Fav icon....I was wondering if I still had a copy of this somewhere.

And done.  Sorry missed it last night, was too busy putting pineapples on my Pizza.

I am saying this as my own taste and i say pineapple should not be on pizza, but that is on your own taste, some may like it as it may sweeten the taste but i will say pizza is meant to taste salty and meaty in my opinion

Personally, i think fruits don't belong on pizza
Tell me if it belongs or not on pizza and why?

The body of Queen Isabella will be buried at the Royal Cemetery of Arifiyyah Grand Mosque,the Tomb of Queens area. Before the Queen was buried, the National Mufti led the last prayer addressed to Her Majesty the Queen. At this time the grounds of the Royal cemetery are filled with thousands of people dressed in black as a sign of mourning.
 
After being buried, Her tomb was covered with a golden silk cloth and a marble tombstone. Later, Sultan Arif Nazim Shah and his family sprinkled his grave with rose water and scattered flowers. And so ended the royal funeral for Her Majesty Queen Isabella Nur Hudson. Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah's face can be seen calmly accepting the passing of his beloved wife while holding the infant crown prince Tengku Ali Nazhim.

It's been a while, but I suspect the CRON job was not functioning correctly before.  Since the incident that forced me to do a fresh install of the server last week, I've noticed view counts going up and after further investigation discovered that topic views only get updated once every 5 minutes as part of the CRON tasks.  So they are not 'real time' but in a 5 minute cache.  They do seem to be working now though.
