No Marsupials and a trebuchet launch for offenders!!!
PaintShop Pro, Remix 3D (the trebuchet is a 3D model).

You will be assimilated into TWP. Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

I still stand by my proposed title change. It's time to codify our 'War on Marsupials' once and for all.
Edit: On an unrelated topic, I've reached my 100th post. Booyah!

You proposed it too late. The Trebuchet(tm) is like one of those thing that when you say "West Pacific" one should think of. It's token at this point!

Why not call this TWP's Official Anti-Marsupial Statement?  

Of all feeder regions, The Weird Pacific is the least formal. I suggest we aim for a more nonsensical/fun title for the document, but none are coming to me at the moment.

Also, I'm worried that the Delegate-appointed Ministers and their relevant Deputy Ministers may not always get along, preventing them from doing their jobs effectively. Perhaps Delegate-appointed Ministers could nominate their Deputy Minister and the Hall would vote to approve?

Nationality is American, born and raised in Connecticut.

On my Mother's side I'm equally 50% French and 50% German. (Grandmother was French, Grandfather was German, both were first generation immigrants). My grandfather had a pretty fun childhood, which took place primarily during the rule of the Third Reich. He was relocated by the government a bunch of times (my great grandfather was an officer in charge of making those kinds of decisions so he was normally able to work out some nice arrangements, no we weren't Nazis), once living on a farm just outside of Warsaw. He even got to experience the thrill of fleeing from the advancing Russian forces on a wagon train though Czechoslovakia when he was 17. He genuinely came from a time when men were men, women were men, and children were men.

On my Father's side things are hard to get down with 100% accuracy, but it's roughly 50% English from my Grandfather from whom we can trace my family back to the first Mayflower. On my Grandmother's side I'm mostly Irish with a dash of French Canadian. She claims that my irish bits also have a bit of Spanish from when the Armada crashed (We all thought it was complete BS, but after taking one of those genealogy DNA tests it showed similarities to Spanish traits, so who knows. There was also some Turkish that came up, but we have no idea what's up with that.). She also claims that the French Canadian bits also have a bit of Native Canadian, but we can't prove it.

You can also send a region wide telegram with a message along these lines:
 
 
It could use some tweaking, I'm sure.

Prices are unreasonably high for Apple products in the US as well, because they're simply unreasonable. You can get a windows (you can also run linux if you prefer) laptop that does everything a Macbook Pro does, but for less than half the price. An HP Pavillion has twice the RAM, more storage, a comparable processor, hell they both even have the same crummy Intel HD 4000 GPU, and will save you a few hundred bucks.

Perhaps The Weird Pacific could do with a completely nonsensical holiday that is in no way related to anything, such as Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster Day where we honor the accomplishments of Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster.
 
Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster is known for how he triumphantly rid his birth country of Ktildismibinijimistan of snails and cabbages by pouring tons of salt on them (we do not mention how this led to a great deal of trouble for farmers whose cabbage fields were now completely unfarmable, and the subsequent salt-shortage, and increased cost of snails and cabbages nationwide). He also invented the Two Slice Deflurgenbergtoaster Oven, or Toaster for short. He also invented the process of toasting, before him bread and bagels were either eaten cold or thoroughly burnt (it should also be mentioned that any toaster with a capacity for more than two slices of anything are works of the Devil, who is also Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster's evil twin). Seeing the famine and economic strife that his homeland suffered from (which were in no way a direct result of his own actions), Saint Deflurgenberg Toaster gave all of the profits from his Toaster back to his community, effectively ending homelessness and bringing about world peace for about 30 minutes. However, all the prophets from his Toaster led to a great deal of confusing and conflicting prophecies that the monks of Ktildisimibinijimistan are still trying to properly understand to this day. Saintdeflurgenbergtoaster tragically died in the middle of an outdoor karaoke party when he was ambushed and devoured by a pack of rabid snakes.

The proper actions for observing Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster Day (April 16th), otherwise known as The Feast of Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster as it takes place on the anniversary of this one time that Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster ate an entire jar of pickles in one sitting, are as follows:

- Eating toasted foods or otherwise using a two slice toaster.
 
-Admonishing those who use/own a toaster with a capacity for greater than two slices of bread.
 
-Pouring vast quantities of salt on things we dislike
 
-Giving alms to the poor
 
-Channeling the spiritual energy of toasters to create more prophecies to keep the monks of Ktildisimibinijimistan employed
 
-The especially devout may also honor Saint Deflurgenbergtoaster by commiting ritual suicide by sacrificing themselves to snakes.

This is just a rough idea though.

Well, there's New Year's, both Gregorian and Lunar, the solstices and equinoxes, perhaps a Mid-Winter Carnival, Delegate Day as a day of appreciation for our Delegate and Guardians, Roo Fur Rebellion day to commemorate when the pouchies were deposed, and a month completely devoted to TWP's national dish, Chocolate with coffee.

As we discussed via tg I'll do a TWP version of Desert Island Discs.
My first guest will be ... me!

Yep, ban WEP, sure, he was over the cap, but no need to ban Eli, even if Eli was a little brash and somewhat rude

Tuna is not causing trouble. If he were, there would be Admin action. People disagreeing with you and wanting to have a conversation is not 'continuing trouble'.

the only trouble on this forum is that you still frequent it URA, it's too bad your political skills are so poorly developed that you can have the Delegacy gifted to you for no apparent reason and you can't do anything with it.
 
 
you should be ashamed of yourself for your silliness both here and in game.

I do not wish to hear people say in these halls "don't bother, we got it" (paraphrased).
 
I want these halls to be where people can speak their mind, defend their positions, and try to persuade each other to build a better TWP.
 
I will not foster an environment where there's a have not and haves. 
 
Not happening while I'm still Advocate. This conversation should continue.
 
Here are my thoughts on impeachment. In general, I don't like impeachment proceedings. I am really concerned that URA is continuing to make mistake after mistake after mistake. 
 
The most recent issue I have is the ejection of Eli. It appears on the surface petty, childish, and perhaps most importantly impulsive. Moves like this tear a region apart and do not build the region. 
 
I'm willing to hear URA on this but it's seems very, very, very, repeat, very dubious.
