Consular

I'll admit I'm intrigued. And also deeply suspicious that the treaty will have the exact same faults as every other attempt made. TSP is seemingly incapable of understanding the way TWP works.

The mysterious Mayor returns! D:

Hahaha, I feel like we're always teetering on the edge of a massive disaster here.

New allies are always on the table, and it doesn't hurt to reach out. Our alliance ties are rather limited right now. As for Cormac, I'm pretty sure his masking was just never updated. Westwind is seemingly the only admin who keeps up with such things, and we can't expect him to do everything.

I worry what Pestarzt might do in the Delegate seat. Elegarth as I said earlier I'm not concerned about. He's given us no reason to doubt him. If we allow this situation to turn us against each other out of fear, then, well, we've already lost far more than we would if the Delegate seat was taken anyway, in my opinion... As for allies, Albion is still allied with TWP and capable of deploying 30 or so pilers in a 48 hours or so, a force equalling most UIAF deployments, so the demise of the UIAF does not change much for us. Albion would hot hesitate to throw its entire weight behind TWP if the Delegate requested assistance. Also... TSP has a large military? Hahaha. Hah.

Ewww Cormac stop making sense. I'm not advocating we do anything brash. Impulse leads to disaster. But we may wish to watch this situation closely as it develops, and adjust our stance accordingly. Or we could ignore it all entirely I suppose.

I'd be lying if I didn't say the whole thing concerned me. Not the coup -- I don't care what a Delegate does -- but the external seizure of power by another region, namely The Pacific, which is a gross violation of Lazarus' sovereignty. Just to be clear I don't think anyone has any right to any region, so I'm not ideologically outraged or anything, I just think we should recognise it for what it is -- a move of imperialist aggression by The Pacific. To be perfectly clear this is not a concern about TWP or Elegarth or anything, the former of which I love and the latter I trust well enough. I'm just speaking about Lazarus.

Hey DYP. Rum's over there somewhere.

Being ejected is an important part of NS.

*ties both down* Nobody leaves.

Yeah Cormac's article was incredibly circumstantial and it's rather disgusting how so many simply took it at face value. It was of course calculated to give regions an excuse to hate Stu. The log he provides is almost entirely irrelevant and there's nothing to suggest Stu invited 94 Block or anything.

Everything looks fine for me.

Way to spin history for your own means, Llamas.

Nope from me. I support Darkesia's neutral stance. No sense in involving ourselves in a mess that doesn't concern us -- it's internal Lazarus business. Cormac's article and the logs actually prove a whole lot of nothing. Very circumstantial. I'm also loath to see us jump on the bandwagon of boring statements released by other regions.

Eh I quite possibly won't vote, so don't get your hopes up. /Not a huge fan of votes

Ahhhh, that's a sad thing. May wherever Ezequiel is now be a kinder world than the last.

*sneaks back in*

Ah awesome. My attempt to recreate a larger version never got the damn colours quite right.

So, as of now, no, they are not. In which case you have no grounds for complaint here really.

I posted my thoughts on this in the NSGP thread. They weren't exactly positive.

omg its kraken

^^^ I'd dispute everything Llamas said about my post, but I'm tired and can't particularly be bothered right now. Perhaps tomorrow.

*shrugs* I didn't write it.

I fully support the expansion of the office of the Speaker to fulfil executive roles. It's exactly what I envision for the office. As for elections for officers... If they are to be subservient to the Speaker it would make sense to have them appointed rather than individually elected, as the latter would make them only really controlled by the Assembly. Unless we give the Speaker the authority to dismiss officers? But that is giving the Speaker a LOT of power. I think I'd prefer they be elected and individually accountable. The Speaker already has their hands full liasoning to the Delegate.

King: His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Christopher Bishop Crown Prince: His Imperial Highness, Lord Seven Deaths Princess: Her Royal Highness, Dame MagentaFairy Prince: His Royal Highness, Sir Joshua IX Chief Knight: Lord Seven Deaths Arch-Mage: His Highly Learned Magnificence, Cassius Cerebella Knight of War and Lady High Constable: The Warbringer, Dame MagentaFairy Knight Foreign: Her Scheming Excellency, Dame Olivia Knight Interior: Moly Calidan Knight Cultural: Sir Tyrion Cerebella-Saxton Chief Bard: Tyras Calidan Chief Recruiter: Sir Enahsian Calidan Region | | Forum | | Twitter 245,258 forum posts | | 408 Nations Politicians and diapers have one thing in common... They should both be changed regularly. Guess what? That’s right! Albion once again saw the (re)cycle of Lower Council elections. This term however, the table seats members who are distinguishably established within our fair realm. Including the regional return of Lords Fenris and Isidor. Sitting with them is Lady Fleur de Mal, Sir Freddie and Miss Junona. Eager to get things underway they began the process (which is still in healthy discussion) of changes to both the World Assembly Delegate Act and the Introduction of a Cultural Visa Act. The Round Table too, has seen new members as well as former members taking their seats. Lead by the Crown Prince; Seven Deaths himself as Chief Knight. Sitting beside him we see Tyras Calidan as Chief Bard, Moly Calidan as Knight Interior, Sir Tyrion Cerebella-Saxton as Knight Cultural and Sir Enahsian Calidan as Chief Recruiter. (Just in case you missed it on the first page.) With little time to call “dibs” on their chairs, our Round Table was sent off with a list of tasks respective to their Chambers. Including but not limited to; A new Guild for Console and PC Gamers, reorganization of the market place, overhaul of the University, spiffy new telegrams, a new take on the Trusty Messenger and a general census. Ever the busy bees these political folks. Diligently dedicated to improving and growing Albion for the comfort of her citizens, officials and foreign diplomats. -- Speaking of “diligence,” previous rumours ring true. The Round Table has opened its doors to Squires. Whereby citizens who are apart of The Companions may choose one of several Knightly Virtues to participate under; Liberality (Knight Cultural), Prudence (Knight Interior), Resolution (Knight Foreign), Diligence (Chief Recruiter) and Valour (Chief Bard) so they may be introduced to the workings of The Round Table and thus build a stronger community. Valour seems to be the most popular choice so far. We really do like our Role Play. Golems: Pottery in Motion The City of Silverpine saw a boom in activity as an improved Royal College of Magic materialized into place creating the first Silverpine role play open to those outside of the city. It is here, where citizens of Albion can participate in adventurous missions to collect mysterious artefacts that have been brought to the College’s attention. Not all artefacts are as simple as going to a destination and picking them up, however. Adventurers may find artefacts of more hostile nature or various creatures and beings who may attempt to sabotage the mission. Those wishing to run their own campaign are welcome to use the Job Request Journal to notify others of their adventure, or otherwise choose to participate in one listed. Arr! Pirates ye be! Albion’s latest role-play is currently under development. Prepare for sea shanties and battles upon the sea! As always, both Chaos Knights and Gods Among Men see new characters arrive regularly to keep the stories alive. Furthermore, the team (and players) over at A Galactic Republic continue to dominate space, conquering all the battles they encounter. He stared at his belly button that much... he was promoted to navel officer. The UIAF juggled new ranks with a statement released by General Christopher Bishop in late January. With this all member regions aim to collaborate more to further our prosperous success. CHRISTOPHER BISHOP: Josh Sebastian was the LKE Division Commander for a long time. He shall be taking over the role of Deputy Commander and Josh shall be assisting with planning and executions of long term operations and planning. Josh will be designated as Lt. General as long as he holds this rank. He shall be taking over for MagentaFairy who shall be made Adjutant Commander and given the rank of Brigadier. I like to also announce that Edward Leben shall be returning to the capacity of Adjutant Commander and as well given the rank of Brigadier. Recently the UIAF participated in and led victorious military manoeuvres. Most significant is the kick in the butt that we gave to the FRA and UDL for not being able to stop the invasion of Eastern Europe. Again. In less than fourteen hours, forty units had been moved in to endorse the UIAF delegate with the aid of Europeia, The Black Riders and The Black Hawks, with troops from The Communist Bloc also joining the party. The UIAF thanks these regions for their aid in battle, although next time we might want to consider getting bigger ships. And finally, after some time to sharpen axes and drink too much mead, the troops helped form a shieldwall for The North Pacific (a.k.a. helping the delegate transfer, for anyone who doesn't speak Viking). But let’s just take some time to admire all those UIAF flags at any operation we like to participate in. I'm just as impressed as you are. The the longest two-word sentence in English is… "I do." Albion recently celebrated His recently appointed Majesty’s coronation. Plenty of drink and food to be had as is Albion’s style. Her Royal Highness, MagentaFairy once again outdoing herself, with breathtaking decor, and plenty of food and drink to satisfy every palette. As coronation festivities came to a close, others continued the celebrations throughout the evening leading to His Royal Highness, Seven Deaths popping the big question to fellow Dame Olivia. Thankfully she said yes. A date for the wedding is yet to be set, but congratulations to the newly engaged couple. Love continues to filter the region, this time with a shot gun wedding! I kid you not. One of our newer, but not so new any more citizens, Myst won the Chief Magistrate Detritus' heart and they were wed. It was that heart-felt and quick, citizens still question if they’re actually married. Congratulations to the happy couple. The Arch Mage is rumoured to be starting his own fan club. Unfortunately he’s hit a snare. Albion’s mailmen are in short supply due to mysterious disappearances. The Fox being the prime suspect. Ominous objects popping up around the place seem to be an Albion trend. Disgruntled citizens are often seen leaving Moly’s market stall, as they try to figure out what it was they actually just saw. To continue the trend, discussions of mythology currently circulates the University. Yours, Albion
