It was 20 years ago today my first nation was founded. My brother introduced me to the game with the unforgettable words, "It only takes a few minutes a day." After a few delegacies, vice-delegacies, and possibly 50,000 endorsements given, I can attest to the irony of that statement. Why 20...

I know if we all pull together we can do it! 1

Dar Es Saalam (aka Drunken Conquerors) has has been banned from TNP for violations of the Community Guidelines. Specifically: The ban is permanent and encompasses all platforms.

Pierconium is in the house. *passes popcorn* On it's face, this case looks like a slam-dunk for the AG's office. But I would never underestimate Flem's ability to devise an ingenious defense strategy. Stay tuned.

We are on the cusp of the 300,000th forum post. Let us know if you are the one to put us over the mark. I predict it will be Tomb.

We are closing in on 1/4 million posts here. Who will be the lucky 250,000th poster? It could be you! :tb2:

According to the Speaker the new law takes effect July 19, though I don't know why. Of course, that shouldn't preclude the SC taking up the application presently.

I have a vase. (pronounced "vaahz") It is large and quite old. There are Chinese characters on the bottom and what looks like possibly a potter's mark. Can someone please help me figure out what it says?

I have a Russian Art Box with some writing on it. I need help translating it, please. These boxes usually depict a story or legend. I think the first photo has the title of the work and the second is the artist's name. Anyone? idk why these images aren't showing up for me. They can also...

The election season is usually terrific fun for everyone. Except when it's not. After Roman was left off the ballot, the EC decided to restart the VD election. Mall feels the whole thing should have been a do-over, and has asked the Court to order new elections. And I guess invalidate the...

I've noticed that Wilks is avatarily challenged. Let's help him out.

I will be afk from the 22nd to the 26th. I'm going on a retreat. No laptop, no phone, nothing. Maybe carrier pigeon, idk.

Oh get this: In TNP v Elu, his honor Sanctaria said: So what do you think, Madjack comes along and goes "Hi :D " :rofl: I think the judges need to be careful what they ask for. I mean, with a set-up like that, someone was bound to do it.

The Security Council has voted to approve Blue Wolf's application. The count was 3-1-2, with two members not voting. The application is now referred to the RA for their approval.

I have a couple of questions for Blue Wolf in light of his recent application for SC membership. First off, why do you want to be on the SC? How would you reconcile the content of the logs Elu posted with the mandated mission of the SC? Trust is a key component of SC eligibility. Can we trust...

RL craziness is on the upswing. I'll try to be active as much as possible, but from now through the end of the year, other priorities will be demanding my attention.

In the wake of a general dissatisfaction with TNP's judicial system, I would like to explore new ways to bring order to the court. Currently, the rules adopted by the court are found here. I read through them, and ... well, I got as far as #15 before I started nodding off. The overall picture I...

By my reckoning we are fast approaching the 200,000th post on this forum. I gotta say, that's a lot of :bs: It's time to wager on who the lucky 200K poster will be. Based on recent top poster stats, Prince Windsor is the odds-on favorite to win. The more people pay attention, the more dicey...

I have had it up to my patootie with all the finger pointing at The Oligarchy. You know, the RA isn't all that big. I think it's high time we compiled a list of who's in and who's out. Then when folks blame it on "The Oligarchy" we can all know exactly who they're talking about. Because, frankly...

Despite an embarrassing number of CTE's, I just hit the 14 billion population milestone. :D

Your Honor, Since RA membership has sunk to an unprecedented low, the pool of nations eligible to stand for election this term is pitifully small. Under the constitution, Article I, Section 3, Subsection 7, it states: Candidates for these elected officials must be members of the Assembly for 30...

I just noticed the date and wondered about elections. Did I miss them? Are we having them? Do we want to have them? Does anyone else want to be the Delegate? Does NK still want to be the Delegate? Is there anyone around who hasn't had a turn at it?

*Great Bights Mum makes sure the bar is stocked with plenty of Pusser's Rum. Welcome, to your new embassy! We are eager for news of your fine region.

The North Pacific welcomes The New Revolution to your new embassy here. We look forward to hearing about your region. Please, have some rum! :D

I propose the following be added to the Constitution under Article I, Section 3: I see the current lack of such a safeguard as a huge loophole. TNP could be easily infiltrated with dozens of puppets who are able to select a Delegate here, while keeping their main nation elsewhere. I believe if...

I just noticed My population as of today is 8.034 billion. Let's have a party!

The following resolution is currently up for vote. Please debate away.

I have an e-mail about an antique sterling silver mesh handbag which reads: Babelfish translated it as: Can anyone tell me what my bidder is really asking?

Ah! It's a repeal. Who would have thought we'd have one so quickly? Please discuss and vote by June 11, whatever day of the week that is for you.

Since Post-a-Joke week was such a success, we are now having Post-a-Limerick week. There is one catch. This time, instead of requiring recruiters to comply or risk banning, I had the bright idea of promising 3 nations to the winning regon. So... I will volunteer a nation, but I need 2 more...
