I think that this is a real positive idea that will help the chosen theme gain legitimacy in the region. I agree that it feels like we are rushing into this when legit discussion is/was still taking place. I am increasingly unsettled that the only people allowed to vote on the regional theme are Hall of Nations members. It doesn't seem representative of the region.

BTW Westwind, I loved the historic graphics that you posted earlier. The "Illuminati" eye reminded me of @Kawaii

Done!

The reason we are not retaining new players and TWPAF is struggling has very little to do with the theme. It has to do with tangible govt activity, engaging nations, and helping nations find purpose in the region.

I am not afraid of change. I want the change to be compelled by a good reason. I don't feel like a good reason has been presented. A theme change alone will not spur lasting activity. There has been no discussion of how the individual themes will be utilized to do things. We've had a Guardian say that they won't use the titles. So what will be used? One theme is a flag only. And while it is better than anything I can make, it doesn't really feel like the flag of a feeder. It has a frenetic look with an 80's feel. Not sure that it all goes together. The russian and chinese themes have different iconology that don't really feel like the region. I'm nervous that if we adapt the Chinese or Japanese themes that we will take over the mantle of the Weeb Pacific. The mess that created in TEP was a massive cleanup. I truly like the idea of a non-RL country theme. I can understand if some people don't like or are tired of the pirate thing. But to adapt a RL culture is going to have a change on TWP. It would be abhorrent to make it something that wasn't TWP. Y'all ministers and guardians did a ton of work. Perhaps allowing the citizenry to work on ideas and make presentations would be good idea? Or at least to flesh out some ideas. Something as important as a theme change shouldn't be taken lightly.

I really like the idea of expanding upon the pirate theme. Perhaps combined with the dragon from Ark's flag idea. Dragoon!

Got it!

Done! Enjoy the day!

I really don't think any of the themes speak to me. I kind of like the laid back beach vision of TWP that I have always had. Tahiti is how I always imagined TWP. Not an imperial dynasty or kingdom. The idea of changing the flag seems...unTWP like. The traditional setting sunburst is iconic and has been the TWP banner for....a really long time. Furthermore, I haven't seen a compelling reason to change it. I guess what really seems...odd to me is if it is done through the hall of nations. Then we will be voting on a theme change for the entire region with like 15 people voting... I understand the concept of Delegate supremacy and all. But I think that this is going a little far. I vote for tradition!

And I have masked them both on Discord.

We will discuss this further.

Nice work Fujai! I think that this could really be a wise decision for the region.

Done

Hey there!

Done!

It has been done via dispatch. But I agree it should be here also.

Interesting...thanks!

Greetings!

Atlae, you are a good player and we are better region because of your contributions! Come back when you get a chance!

I have an TWP conundrum. I am not sure that the requirement to have people post at least once per month is an effective thing for the Hall of Nations. But we have a beautiful forum and need more activity here. What can we do to increase activity here?

I went through the entire Hall of Nations list and culled non-members. Sent out reminders to others to post in the forum.

Hail!

Greetings!

Hey there! Nice to have you pop by!
