All hail Winnipeg, who makes our forum great!

Also, Hi!

I need one of each of these.

Feux massively lied to him about the nature of Francoism and the direction in which he wanted to take the NPO. Funkadelia is anti-imperialist and regional sovereigntist, and was attracted to Francoism and the NPO because Feux led him to believe the NPO was going in that direction as well. It is now clear that was total deception, as they are practicing imperialism in and stomping on the sovereignty of Lazarus with the support of raider pilers.
 
You can't really criticize Funkadelia or anyone else in Lazarus for trusting Feux, Milograd, et al. They did everything they could to win that trust, because for a time they needed it, until they were able to eject and ban the people they had deceived. That is the modus operandi of the NPO.

Also, the NPO should come up with their own mascot. Bunnies belong to me
 
And this is real:
 

NOOOOOOO!!! IT'S KRULL!!! THE NPO IS HERE NOW!!!

Just one thing, as per this law:
http://www.westpacific.org/forums/index.php?/topic/319-current-laws-and-legislation/?p=21889
The leader of the Army is selected by the Prime Minister, without delegate intervention.

You know the problem in Lazarus? That was (in part) caused by the forum and in-game governments being connected.

Also, Hi!

Registering with Drop Your Pants. I'm aware i won't be able to vote in the election but if I don't sign up now i'll probably forget

I wish I had read this earlier.  I banjected this nation for advertising on the RMB earlier today.  Not smart, Cormac.
 
LOL.  Your post had BBD accusing you of being an NPO plant.  Too much like Lazarus' Revolution.  New nations bringing a whole new pre-fabricated government and forums only to later admit they were sent by the NPO. 
 
Change in TWP has come and it is upon us.  But it has and will alwyas come from within. It will be something organic rather than imposed.

From what I read, the party's goal is to turn TWP into the style of the bureaucratic gargantuan government of TNP?

What kind of thing?  Please elaborate - it seems as if the process was pretty efficient!

As the default officer of F All in-game, I would like to request the text of the treaty-in-progress. 
 
When someone gets the keys to the Foreign Affairs area, we actually have a thread with restricted access where we can be rude to one another and argue about stuff like the text of treaties.  It's secret, so everyone thinks we are all best buds.

I will work on banning 94 block this afternoon.
 
...
 
Nevermind.  Westwind has taken care of it for us. 
 
Hail Westwind!

In keeping with both the COPS Treaty and Administrative policy, account 94 Block has been banned as a known forum destroyer.
Attempts to violate this ban may result in the filing of charges to the full extent of the law. (That's RL law, in case it's not clear enough.)

*smears brains on Ele*
OH NO HOW TERRIBLE MY OPPONENT HAS BEEN EATEN BY ZOMBIES AND I MUST WIN BY DEFAULT!

LOL.  You need to wait until there is a MoFA to appoint you to Europeia.

Listen here, and you listen good. You're going to take your pleasant Citrus scent and you're going to like it!
 
Also, I registered for the HGA.

The enthusiasm is fantastic. 

Tomorrow is Tax Day in the US.  Get those returns and extensions mailed!

/me points at New People! 
 
NPO infiltratorrrrrrrrrrr!

Also, we have a Welcome Telegram which often gets positive responses.  Even when they say they are choosing a different region, they respond politely and with the intent to return once they are acclimated.
 
So, once your interior department is formed (and perhaps a mentoring system?) I can easily adjust the telegram to include that. 
 
I can pin and publish dispatches as well and link them in the welcome telegram, too.  I have something like that set up now, but Westwind's Dispatch could proabaly use a clean up.  If someone wants to write a new one, I can pin it.
