The Constitution shall be removed in its entirety and amended to read: Why? Because I won't f*ck up shit.

Seems Gatesville is bitter. Boohoo? I don't have much to contribute except to open a thread. Yay.

The last one for now!

(Obligatory text)

Another poll. Yay?

Another poll. Yay. This should be pretty self-explanatory. Our current system is pretty much an "elected group" right now. And when I say "cycling unelected", I mean that we don't elect people to positions of power but that people simply cycle into them when it's "their turn". I think I would...

This is the first straw poll of many that will be used to gauge regional preferences regarding style of governance. Here's some explanations as to the choices above: Dictatorship: Let one man's will be done. Think Moo in the NPO. Constitutional Monarchy: The top spot is kinda separate from...

Okay, it should be our responsibility to steer the slow-as-molasses RA to action. We need to discuss specific issues about government restructuring, like term limits, government size, and limits of executive and legislative power. Things like procedures and whatnot can be hashed out later...

Hi, and welcome to my office. :Hello: "Where's the walls and walls of legal books", you ask? Who needs legal precedence when you got booze? (All paid for by the government, of course. ;)) *tips her glass in the direction of the Exchequer*

Here be a list of orders issued from the AG's office. Yarrr. Order #1: Enforcement of Agreement in TNP vs. Mesian

Hello all. Some of y'all have known me for a while, and others have only known me for a few short months. I hope that during that time, I have come across as an intelligent, moderate voice of reason. It is on precisely those credentials that I come before you today as a candidate for the...

I know, I know. I'm jumping the gun. By a lot. But still, why not? Here's a working draft of a constitution that would encompass the ideas for my proposal. Yes, I wrote a constitution. Because it's not like I have anything better to do (like med school apps *cough*)... It's significantly...

Currently, we have: 1) a rogue delegate, 2) scheduled elections, and 3) division and confusion. What a perfect atmosphere to start thinking about massive constitutional change. And by "massive", I mean pretty much scrapping our current system and starting anew. However, I do hope that such...

Lecture 4: Legitimacy "First impressions" We've learned about some of the more tangible benefits of having a forum, namely that of being able to organize and administrate far more effectively, as well as helping to build a regional community. But there's something more intangible to it...

Lecture 7: Invading and Defending "The closest thing to a zerg rush you'll see in NS" Right, let's put everything together. One of the more popular activities in NS is invading or defending. We'll spend this lesson going over a cursory overview of it. What is invading? Invading is a playstyle...

Amazing. I guess he really has nothing to lose... AP story :pinch:

Lesson 6: Creating a new nation or region "Puppets, MWAHAHAHA!!!" Tired of your one nation? That's okay--just create a new one! NationStates rules allow for you to make as many nations as you want. This will be useful not only in order to branch out to other regions and other national personas...

Yes, they're life insurance ads, but they sure will make you tear up... Daddy (the best one, IMO) Marry Me My Son Grandpa Chew My Girl Grandma I sorta hate the director of these for making me cry, but damn, he's good. :cry:

Lesson 2: Bureaucratic Management "Because issues are boring" So we see that forums foster a sense of community that allows organized action. We also see why we need that sense of community. However, this is a role-playing game, after all, and although hanging around and chilling is pretty...

Lesson 5: NS Forums and Roleplay "My nation could beat up your nation" Today, we'll cover the official NS Jolt forums. We will also be covering the topic of in-character roleplay, which is conducted largely on the official forums. Christ, everything's about forums... Yep. Pretty much. In this...

Lecture 4: Game Rules and Technical Help--"Today's theme is 'how not to be a douchebag'" This game is pretty limited technically, so most of the rules involve not being a douchebag as a player. (Many apologies to our lovely TNP forum mods for overuse of the word "douchebag". But it captures the...

Lecture 3: The United Nations--Marginally more effective than the real one Alrighty. Now that we've discussed issues, we're going to move onto something that is going to be quite similar--the United Nations. What is it? The UN is pretty similar to its real-life namesake--a voluntary...

Lecture 2: Issues--Everyone's got 'em So. Now that we've slogged through the menus of the NS site, let's get to the stuff that actually affect your nation's stats. Besides changing regions and messing about with text fields on the Settings page, your nation changes in two ways: population and...

Class for this course doesn't actually begin until tomorrow, but I figured that I might as well throw this up here. Introduction Hey there and welcome to Forums & their Importance in NS I! If you take a look at the RMB and WFE, you'll see that the citizens of this region are constantly...

Hello, students, and welcome to Intro to NS I! Introduction As you may have figured out already, NationStates is a fairly simple game on the surface. You log in, answer issues, check regional rankings; rinse, repeat. Your population goes up, your UN rankings change, and so does your regional...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from...ent/6734469.stm And let's have a few more quotes from the Prince, shall we? (courtesy of Wikiquote)

Every so often, I'll be taking comments from people regarding current (or near-current) events in TNP. Comments can be as short as a sentence to as long as a letter. They will then be published. Nothing promotes honesty like anonymity, after all. :P PM me your comments, and I promise, swear...

The University will only succeed if we find students. Therefore, I ask all of us, as the leaders of government to go out onto the RMB more frequently and help to tout it. Also, I was wondering if we could advertise on other feeders' RMB's about this. It is sufficiently removed from our...

I'm starting up another mini-organization within the MoC--the TNP Welcoming Committee. Basically, it's a group of people who are willing to help newcomers to the game and region get situated and find their way around how to do things. Plus, hopefully, we'll be able to show them more ways to have...
