The Month in Important Assembly Affairs

  •  
  • After much debate, the duties of the Prime Minister's office are expected to adopted by the regional Speaker. The Speaker's name is then expected to be changed to "Prime Minister". The whole affair is quite backwards. 
  • Elegarth has re-elected to the position of Speaker.
  • Llamas has proposed the Executive Council Act before the Assembly. If passed, the resolution will create an official cabinet consisting of a Prime Minister and Officers of Foreign Affairs, World Assembly Affairs, Community Affairs, and Home Affairs. The goal is to legally formalize the current civil service system.
  • The Assembly intends to vote on a repeal of the Civil Code, citing the bill of rights as rendering it redundant.
  • Westwind has proposed reverting the name of The West Pacific Department of Defense to TWPAF, citing the lingering popularity of the "TWPAF" brand. The Assembly created the DoD earlier this year by putting the military and intelligence organs of the government under the purview of the same director.

WIP, with experimental new style.

Welcome to the Front Page of TWP, Reddit!
 
As many have noticed, the feeders and the NS world at large have reached their highest mark in the last decade (yes, 2005 was ten years ago!) thanks to what, as it turns out, has largely been an influx from readers of the sub-reddit r/internetisbeautiful (http://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/comments/2ymi1h/nationstates_a_website_that_lets_you_create_your/).
 
The West Pacific has been pleased to welcome redditors to the community and has taken a proactive approach to naturalizing them onto the game via the RMB. 
 
New players from Reddit who have been contributing to the RMB include Medivh and Small Jersey.
 
We welcome them and everyone else who has joined during these interesting times. Except, of course, for those nations who were booted for their affiliations with darker parts of the internet, or just generally inappropriate nation fields:

  • 6 hours ago: Palatomia was ejected from The West Pacific by Darkesia.
  • 20 hours ago: Scrotalnation was ejected from The West Pacific by Darkesia.
  • 1 day 2 hours ago: Booby-ia was ejected from The West Pacific by Darkesia.
  • 1 day 6 hours ago: Pon Pon Wei Wei Wei was ejected and banned from The West Pacific by Darkesia.
  • 1 day 19 hours ago: Shiethole was ejected from The West Pacific by Darkesia.
  • 2 days ago: Buttscratchistan was ejected from The West Pacific by Darkesia.
  • 2 days 1 hour ago: Taxionius was ejected and banned from The West Pacific by Darkesia.
  • 2 days 1 hour ago: SenorDelgado was ejected and banned from The West Pacific by Darkesia.

Then again, a little exercising of the ban-button never hurt anybody.
 
Opinion: Why We Need the Redditors
by United RussoAsia
 
What with the enormous influx of new nations from reddit and elsewhere and a bunch of negativity over the ones determined to cause trouble, I decided to assemble an small article on why we need the redditors. 
 
We can split the 4 million+ nations that nationstates has hosted into groups:

  1. -Those that make a nation and never sign in again
  2. -Those that sign in a couple times, then stop finding time for it and never come back
  3. -Those that are hell-bent on trying to make everyone miserable
  4. -Those that enjoy the game and make it a part of their day
  5. -Those that participate in the community

There isn't much we can do about the first three groups. The second to last group might eventually join the last group however. The thing is, it's the last group is what makes this game a great game. Sadly, for every 500 or so nations, we probably only get 1 or 2 of the last group. With a larger group of incoming nations, hopefully we get more of the nations that contribute to the community. If we get enough of these nations, they will greatly increase the value of our community by providing staff for military and political positions, writers for papers, friendly faces for the RMB, and nations willing to better the experience of their peers and themselves however they can. 
 
That said, welcome redditors, and I hope you come to enjoy this game as much as I do.

You're doing everything right so far. The hardest thing is to find your way to the forum and show initiative. It'll be rewarded, as it should be.

 

*nods*  Every one of us was once dragged kicking and screaming to the offsite forums with great fear and trepidation.  Yet once a forum community is fully engaged and firing on all cylinders......magic happens.

Quite brilliant, thank you for that Nox! :)

 

I'll be drafting something about the political changes currently going on, with the HGA becoming more active and various bills being considered and having already passed.

 

You going to get to this?

 

Scotland is the last article to be written. This has gone on longer than I'd like and I'd like to actually distribute something soon.

Bloody hell. End of quarter and I had to turn in multiple projects and have 3 tests to study for between today and tomorrow. Luckily, spring break is coming up, so the entirety of next week I'll actually be capable of stuff here.
