  1. Welcome back again, Kevin Check out Interior, I am pretty sure they can put to good use your experience in the area of recruitment and new nation mentoring.

    Oh.... To belong to WECA, all you need is a love of chocolate and a dislike for marsupials. It would also help if you supported the Guardians and had a mild allergic reaction to democracy in NationStates. To belong to the Opposition you need to have a love of chocolate and a dislike for marsupials. It would also help if you supported the Guardians and had a wild, illogical love of democracy in every context. Disclaimer: As a founding member of WECA, i might be a little biased. Synopsis: Both sides have TWP's best interests at heart. They disagree about how that should happen.
  3. Sorry to be a buzzkill. But I wanted to bring up a serious, sad topic. Is anyone else noticing a scary trend in some of our (human kind = our) young men? What could possibly be causing them to turn into monsters that want to kill innocents? The hunt for the final Boston Marathon bomber is still underway. He is 19. His co-conspirator and brother is dead. He was 26. They killed and injured just under 120 innocent people. One of them was this man, Officer Sean Collier http://www.odmp.org/officer/21777-police-officer-sean-collier. He was 26. It's not all of our young men. But certainly some of them are going so far off the rails that their very humanity is vanished in a haze of violence. Yesterday a friend of mine had her own frightening day, when a student of hers who has been obsessing over her and was banned from campus, was spotted in the elevator on the way to her office. He was carrying an unloaded shotgun and rounds. Only someone's quick thinking on seeing him and his erratic behavior and the equally quick response of campus police on his apprehension kept this from becoming another tragedy. School shootings where the targets are chosen because they are less than 10 years old? How is that even a thought in a young man's mind? The US isn't the only nation suffering from this disease. It's happening all over the globe. Sometimes the media calls it terrorism. Sometimes they call it criminal insanity. But no matter the label, it is all the same, sad and frightening deterioration of... something. Please don't tell me gun control is the answer. It's not about the weapons. It's about the... soul(?) of humanity. Near the same time that Newtown happened, a young man in China walked into a grade school and started stabbing children and teachers. Laws won't fix this. If it is even fixable. I have heard theories from over population to emasculation. What do you think? Can we find a way to save humanity's young males or will this trend spread until we devolve into something less than what we are now? How did they get so lost? How did we get so blind that we can't even name what it is that is wrong? Here ends my depressing rant. Now I will get back to talking about chocolate.

    Darkesian chocolate can be highly engineered to be many useful materials well as delicious. *places order for special milk chocolate uniform for the fashion conscious Turquoise*
  5. The hair comes as a perk with the diagnosis of psychotic narcissism with delusions of grandeur.
  6. How about directing them to a recruitment specialist/Minister of the interior/mentor/someone whose job it is to take care of new nations. This way even though the person is just asking how to turn off regional telegrams, they will remember that it was someone from TWP's government that shared the information. If the person in charge of answering those questions also remembers the nation's name and a little about them, there is a very good chance they will be back around. I used to directly recruit this way when I was Delegate, and I can't be the only one. Basically, don't just give them the link. Give them a link to a nation who can speak with them, unless they contact the Delegate directly. You would be shocked to know how much it impresses new nations that a feeder delegate or a government official took the time to speak with them.

    YES! o/ Welcome to WECA, Westwind!
  9. You mean like fanfiction? Or do you sort of borrow the "world" and put your own characters in it? I'm just curious. There are so many different types of RP out there.
  10. Abbot and Costello can still make me ROFL.
  11. I haven't RP'd since I was a Senator in The Pacific (translation: a long ass time ago.) I always say I would like to try, but rarely have the chance or inspiration. If you can get something going that is character based an doesn't require hours of prep time, I'm in.
  12. The chocolate is never poisoned. That would be sacrilege. Besides, since Neenee made her very versatile cookie recipe open source, there's little need for poison.
  13. Welcome to The West Pacific! *offers box of welcome chocolate*

    I remember that. It was freekin' hilarious!
  15. *slips some special chocolate into Westwind's dinner* There is nothing to see here. Move along.
  16. That because the high population nations have to choose research early enough to save the region. Most of us just don't give a hoot, so we are likely doomed. lol I chose research a couple minutes ago. Previously I hadn't bothered choosing anything. 1) I am unimpressed by zombies. 2) I have had my issues turned off for a long time now. Last year I stayed up late at night and campaigned hard for shares, even joining in on the IRC melee. This year, I don't feel the need to compete. Maybe it's just too much easter food.
  17. Can it be pretty script in hot pink? And with hearts on either side of the word? Please????
