Culture and Entertainment: Kingborough
World Assembly Affairs: Eluvatar
Foreign Affairs: Tim​
The Regional Assembly​

Court​
Attorney General: Punk D
Chief Justice: Hileville Associate Justices: Gaspo & Belschaft ​


Executive Council Elections​

Following Mcmasterdonia's ascension to the Delegacy of The North Pacific he promptly called elections for the cabinet positions, with some changes. Five seats were available instead of the usual four, the Delegate and Vice Delegate taking an additional non-ministerial two seats.

The elections also switched to a simpler system of voting and counting. Voters comprised of all regional assembly members and citizens, who numbered each candidate lowest to highest, in order of preference. Eluvatar, Tim, Kiwi, Kingborough and Romanoffia were elected to the executive council.

The new council set to work straight away. Culture and Entertainment, the newest ministry, has been trailblazing and doing a lot of good work for the region. The next elections will likely be held sometime in January.


The Christmas Festival​

The North Pacific has been hosting a christmas festival in joint cooperation with Osiris and The South Pacific. Administrator Eluvatar put a lot of work in creating a new Christmas skin for our forum, featuring falling snowflakes, bunnies, schnauzers and a variety of other animals and faces.

The festival has featured some new games such as "The most creative way to kill Blue Wolf II" and variations of the common spam games.

It has helped to generate some activity in what is usually a slow period, and has been a good way to start the festive season. The North Pacific wishes our friends and allies abroad a safe and happy Christmas and New Year.

Vice Delegates Resignation and Fresh Elections​

The North Pacific was embroiled in drama after the Vice Delegate Tim, resigned his WA to take part in a liberation attempt of Eastern Islands of Dharma. A recall motion almost immediately was introduced to the Regional Assembly for vote, but was halted when members demanded to hear from Tim before they acted. Tim apologized for resigning his WA in such a way, and promplty handed his resignation in.

New elections were called immediately, with many members putting their names forward as candidates. After a slight hiccup when a candidates name was left off the ballot, elections were restarted with Blue Wolf II and Romanoffia emerging as the clear front runners. Blue Wolf II emerged the victor and took his oath of office promising to ban Ramaba from the region if he takes the Delegacy seat at any time. His oath has since been challenged in the court in usual Blue Wolf style.

The Eternal Trial of JAL: New Archaeological Evidence Points To The Early Origins Of JAL's Trial

(Magicality City, December 17, 2012) - Archaeologists from The North Pacific Ministry of Culture have unearthed evidence of the origin of JAL's ongoing trials believed to date from the Third Millennium, BCE.

"This is an astounding discovery!" said The North Pacific's Resident Archaeologist Emeritus, Methuselah Fossilberg. "This early tomb painting depicting JAL, in the form of a deceased Pharoah, having his heart weighed by the judges of the underworld to see if he is worthy to pass through. This tomb painting is so old that it depicts former Associate Justice in his former incarnation, Anubis. One of JAL's advocates (to the right of JAL) turns in disgust at the length of the proceedings while being admonished for doing so by another Justice (out of the image to the right) who is upset by the line of questioning."

"Egyptology experts are in the process of deciphering the hieroglyphic writing as we speak. So far, the they can only make out the phrase 'here we go again' from the crumbling image," said Fossilberg.

Galt Conference​


A recent development in The North Pacific has been the multilateral Galt Conference, which is taking place in Galt City, in the archipalego nation of the Almanianian Union. We dropped in on the national delegates in between their speeches to hear what they had to say about the conference. "Galt Conference is a means to strengthen unity, support, and relationships amongst nations that are in full accordance with benevolent governments that seek to place care and provision for the citizenry as its top priority," said the representative from the Democratic Republic of United Koryo.

The Malvad delegation had this to say: "Although the conference started out slow we have reached the point where we are discussing the formation of The North Pacific Community. It will connect nations of TNP economically, politically, culturally, and militarily. It will promote peace, stability, and democracy.

The NPC will also include a railway connecting the nations who form it. We hope this will improve relations between all nations of The North Pacific." Well, there was noticeably a buzz of excitement amongst the participants and we look foward to seeing where the RP will lead.

When we approached The North Pacific Government for a statement, Executive Councillor Kingborough gave us this response: "It is great to see some roleplay action taking place in The North Pacific, thanks to our very active new deputy Minister of Culture & Entertainment Mr. Alvino Castillion."

Latest from The North Pacific Army​

As many have noted, this time of year marks a lower level of activity on the forums and I must admit that the availability of many members of the NPA has struggled too. As a result, I have been actively encouraging joint operations with the UDL, the Cat Burglars and the Medjai Guard in equal measure.

The NPA defended Anarchy against a slow-raid, meaning it wasn't so much a rush to the region at a given time but rather just ensuring the native had a higher endorsement count at update. It was also a fantastic opportunity to try out the NPAs new battleflag. Until now I have been unable to get any feedback on it so take a look at my main nation KiwiTaicho if you want to see it!

We have also been attempting to take over the warzones whenever possible. The most notable being that of warzone sandbox which we held successfully for a few days.

I would also like to note the hard work of the few NPA members who have made themselves available recently. Firstly, although McMasterdonia is Commander-in-Chef, I would like to give him the military rank of Major General for when he eventually is no longer delegate. His tireless work as MoD in a range of missions, should not be understated. Secondly, I would like to promote Eluvatar to the rank of Lieutenant. Recently his assistance, scripting expertise and experience have been incredibly useful to the NPA. Thirdly, I would like to promote Kingborough to the rank of Sergeant given his recent activity and assistance in NPA missions.

We also participated in a raid against The Greater German Reich with our friends from a variety of regions. We decided to take the opportunity when the Delegate of the GGR became an executive position due to LCG ceasing to exist and being refounded. The Delegate approved this mission immediately, and was backed by 3 members of his cabinet condoning the course of action that followed.

On top of all that, I would also like to welcome our newest member Alvino Castillon! His help and good spirit are a great addition to the NPA.

Summarily I wish everyone in TNP a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

And if you're planning on drinking as much as I am, remember not to drive!

FAQ Stuffs:
Minister and Deputy Minister Uncover Ancient Tomb of Lost FAQ Texts

The Council Elections have ended. The special elections are nearly over. Finally, the dust seems to begin to settle from the flurry of elections and special elections. However, just as it seems the dust begins to settle, it is blown off the ground again. This time, it’s in an ancient tomb filled with old texts dating back to 2004 filled with Frequently Asked Questions and their answers.

“What we’ve found is the very epitome of the North Pacific’s oldest FAQs.” Deputy Minister Alvino Castillon said with excitement. “Some of these are actually even older than the tomb that houses them. It’s quite clear that some of these texts have been moved here by ancient citizens of days gone by.”

The tomb, which has sat silent for years, was nearly excavated a few months ago in August by another exploratory team of North Pacific citizens. Led by Eluvatar, they set out to prove the legend of these ancient texts true and possibly restore the tomb to its former glory. However, the team reportedly turned back in the Forgotten Desert when a random sandstorm rushed through the desert and nearly swept up the team. Another exploration team was not outfitted for a few months until the Council Elections of November concluded. By then, Kingborough Edwick-Mythika had returned to the government as a member of the Executive Council and became the Minister of Culture and Entertainment. While he was looking over the files of the Ministry, he stumbled across the story of the Legend of the Lost Texts. He quickly brought his Deputy Minister Alvino Castillon to his office and formed an expedition. Within a few days, the exploration team came across the tomb and discovered the lost texts.

The Ministry of Culture and Entertainment has declared that it intends to take these lost texts and create an exhibit in the North Pacific Museum dedicated to these ancient FAQ Texts. Mr. Edwick-Mythika has stated that the texts are currently being deciphered as the Ministry learns about their ancient secrets. So far, the Ministry has learned of some of the top threads of history and have learned about a “Yellow Pages” the North Pacific used to have. “This is a real treasure, we could spend forever learning more about the people and things of the North Pacific past. Like, did you know that the North Pacific Army once had an attached spy agency?” Mr. Edwick-MythiKa told reporters after the unveiling of the discovery.

As for the temple itself, it seems there is already plans in the works. “The current objective for the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment in the North Pacific is restore the tomb to its original glory.” The Ministry has stated in an open letter to the public. “The Ministry plans to complete restoration of the tomb and open its doors to the public as a new exhibit. Whether or not the original documents of the tomb will be returned to its former resting place will be decided at a later time.”

With the North Pacific now restoring the tomb and the FAQs being decoded and its mysteries unraveled, the Mr. Castillon has reportedly assured the public that it will not be left out in the dark.

“We are going to ensure these documents are available to the public.” Mr. Castillon responded with a smile. “Currently, Mr. Edwick-Mythika and I are working on an updated version of these documents that will better fit with the modern day. We have already released an updated Yellow Pages and Orientation FAQ. On top of this, we have decided to expand our texts further and have created a Role Playing FAQ and a Ministries FAQ. In the coming weeks, I will be working closely with Mr. Edwick-Mythika to ensure that the rest of these texts are updated, but the original texts are available to the public as well.”

Mr. Castillon reportedly told us there used to be an intergovernmental body that went by the acronym “UN.” He also told us that when he told younger citizens of the North Pacific, they immediately went into denial.

“We have a lot to learn from these texts.” He told us with a chuckle. “It’s a tad bit disturbing if the children don’t believe another intergovernmental body actually existed before the World Assembly.”

Ok, I've spoken to Almanianian about the second article, and sent a FT message to Kingborough. My concern is that it is a little long and that it may be better suited to the tnp-wire.
 
Emergency Judicial Elections

Judicial Elections also happened, due to a lot of people stepping up and down and all around. More specifically, Former Associate Justice Blue Wolf II was Elected to Vice Delegate to replace Former Vice Delegate Tim.

Replacing Blue Wolf, as Associate Justice, is Gaspo. Gaspo is an older player with plenty of legal experience, and he has been very active in the Judiciary from the moment he was elected.

Delegate Ejected from the World Assembly

In what ended up being a very strange turn of events, World Assembly Delegate McMasterdonia was Temporarily Ejected from the World Assembly.

In the time before McMasterdonia came online to figure out the situation, all hell broke loose across TNP. Our reporters even saw a Recall Thread go up, but it was quickly shot down by shouts of "Oh at least let him log in first!"

After McMasterdonia logged in, he talked to the Moderators and it turned out that the Mods dun goofed. A New system with WA applications had been set up earlier that day, and McMasterdonia for some reason got hit by it. After much heated argument and raised voices, McMasterdonia was restored to the Delegacy and everything was happy and sunshiny again. The Moderation team then apologized, which in itself is a lolwut: Dat Apology

Peace was restored to The North Pacific and all the people asking for the recall suddenly felt really stupid.

The End.
