Shamelessly, I prefer the Former Delegate badge. 

*Offers Welcome Chocolates*
You will never be out of chocolate as long as you are part of the Great West Pacific!

1. Become a citizen. It's easy and it is a place to start.
2. Reach out to Halo (Saint Mark) on the RMB or Discord. He is in charge of Recruitement and Citizenry and will help you.
3. Think about what interests you. Being a diplomat (Foreign Affairs), creating events (Internal Affairs), writing (Newspaper), raiding and the military (TWPAF), the WA and laws (World Assembly Affairs), or something else that we can help you nurture.
4. Be social on here, the RMB, and Discord. You never know who you might meet who will be able to help you figure out what you want to do.

Gravedigging is scary

Done!

Glitter, books and conspiracy theories about the Empire.

I'll take a peek later tonight.  I've got some evening plans, but will have time at 9 ish.

Glitter, books and conspiracy theories about the Empire.

Now, you are both masked as Delegate.  If it's ok, I will leave your mask until she officially overtakes you in endorsements.

Although someone else's gravedig can be used as an opportunity for a traditional TWP threadjack.
So next time a Nuclear Apocalypse approaches, don't forget the wisdom of Dr. Strangelove.

"Deterrence is the art of producing in the mind of the enemy, the FEAR to attack."

Be sure they will fear TWP before the next apocalypse!  

I read that as "add to the Trolls".

6.  Do I think that NS needs a region filled with loyal, enthusiastic citizen soldiers who would march into battle blindly for the sake of their finely crafted cultural obsession?  Do I think NS needs regions who are not what they seem and powerful in ways most are unaware of?  Yes and yes!  Do I think that basing that culture on a crusade against the WA is the way to go?  Not so much.  I treasure my time with GV and my time collaborating with them, but I think the crusade against the WA might not be viable in the new NS.
7. I have been out of the game too long and no longer know what the R/D paradigm might be.  From my perspective, the R/D paradigm is well entrenched and after the Predator scandal and subsequent Purge has a set of rules that make it an NS Institution.  I am unsure if one event could change an institution.  I am more inclined to think that change will come slowly as a more cultural shift, if it comes at all.  One of these young upstarts will come up with a crazy idea that will catch fire and the game will be changed forever without anyone much noticing until after it's happened.
8.  Yes.  I met Karpathos there.  That's about all I am going to say about that.  Some things should not have the mystery peeled away.
 

Added everyone except Dali, who was already in the Hall of Nations. 

You can impose a chocolate tax if you want to.

Everyone in the above list has had their masking reduced to "member."  Note, that includes some who had military masking (among some other things.)  If you wish to add military masking back to anyone, just let me know.
Also, there were two on the list that had no record.  That means the names were never registered.  Let me know if it's a misspelling or nickname and I will try to dig them up sometime.  But at this point, those names do not exist.
 

Not anymore. All your chocolate belongs to Darkesia.

Hello!  Welcome to TWP!
Do you have any chocolate? 
 

Hurray!!
I admit, I was expecting that. 

All done

Hello, Darkesia!
Only the finest chocolate, made by our master chocolatiers. Please, have some all of it. 

My desire to rule NPO is directly involved with the way Moo and Ivan drove traffic to those other realms.  Though that duality gave us Elegarth (whom I adore!), I still hold a bit of a grudge against Moo and Ivan for the decimation of the NPO by CN.

So, I have been trying to answer these for hours now.  I get half way there and need to close the window for work.  Here is a shortened version of the answers.  If anyone wants a more detailed explanation, I'll try to give it at a later date.
3.  Honestly, all the coups and Theatrical events have started blending together for me.  I remember The Crimson Order but I keep getting mixed up between Equilism and TNP.  I recall the members of Order and their "main" identities.  But I didn't participate directly other than lobbying GV participation.  And since I can't recall if I was a TWP Guardian, or GV Delegate at the time, I can't recall how much lobbying I actually had to do.  lol  I recall more about the TNP/TP friction because so much of it involved raw emotions on the part of some TNP folks chafing under their transformation.  And some of it was openly directed at me for my associations with TP and the Old Regimes of TNP (including Ivan's tenure(s)).
4.  Hmmm...  Which did I enjoy more?  My second term, despite the way it ended (URAP *shivers*) was much more enjoyable, if less eventful.  I actually had fun the second time around.  The first time was fraught with lots of drama and bad feelings and I left my post months earlier than planned because I was stupid enough to let the game start effecting my health.  The Game wasn't helping me blow off stress, at that time it was adding to my already considerable stress load from RL.  Frankly it was leave the post early or have a damned stroke.  As my game relationship with Biyah was permanently damaged by events in Lemuria years prior, my personal relationship with him was damaged by events in TWP.  We are only now becoming carefully cordial outside of the game for the sake of someone we both care about.  All that being said, I believe I had more impact on the region with my first term and with my service as a Guardian where I made my focus the recruitment and placement of NEW blood in the big chair.  I'm proud of that.
5.  The short answer is that I held every position I wanted except the one I wanted most (see above).  PRP Governor, People's Puppet operative, Comrade Senator of Intelligence in the NPO and whatever they called Interior and FA.
 
OK.  I am pushing the button on this before I have to close the window again.

In a hot, pickled minute.  My one regret from my former life in NS was that I never became the NPO's first Empress.  It wasn't for lack of trying.  Just ask Moo.
I promise to get to more of Westy's questions tonight.  I just wanted to answer that one since it had a nice straight answer.

If we're done here, in the interest of saving my email feed, I am going to unfollow this topic.  I will still answer questions.  But you may have to poke at me to get me to notice.
