As you likely know by now, during the term we have been running season 2 of the RMB trivia game. The game followed the same format as season 1, which ran during the previous term. With the term coming to an end, the second season of the game concluded a couple of days ago. I am copying below the contents of the game dispatch for future reference. If you like the game, please upvote the game dispatch!

Introduction

Starting on September 14th, the Security Council of The North Pacific will be sponsoring Season 2 of The North Pacific trivia game!

At every round of the game, a Security Councillor will be submitting a question, which will be featured on the WFE. Then, nations will have one week to find the answer and post it on the RMB (please make sure to indicate in your posts that you are submitting an answer for the TNP trivia game). The question will be updated as soon as somebody posts the correct answer, or if a week passes without anyone getting the answer right.

Questions will be about TNP, and usually will require a lot of searching through the threads of our regional forum. The forum search function I expect will prove invaluable. You can view most of the forum without registering, but registration is strongly encouraged - and make sure to say hi and introduce yourselves!

A week before the end of the current term, the nation that answered the most questions will be declared winner of the TNP trivia game. The winner will select the flag, pre-title, and motto of Delegate HMS Unicorn for one week.

Winner of season 2: Sauceistan

Sauceistan selected the flag, pre-title, and motto of Delegate HMS Unicorn for one week. A screenshot of the custom nation decorations can be found below.

Wow, Sauceistan really had an incredible run there. However, for the sake of accuracy and generally being anal, I'd like to point out that Security Councillor Olvern asked, "Which two states in the US are often jokingly referred to as the states that our legislation is based upon?" Alta Italia answered, "Kentucky & South Carolina." That was done a long time ago, and I even bumped it on the RMB nearly a full week later; I'm not sure what r3naissanc3r was doing then.
 
Woops, apologies Alta. You are right, I forgot to account for that one when updating the dispatch. I shall do so later today.
