Thanks for all the enthusiasm, it's always good to see from new members. Having said that, please avoid double/triple posting, as it clogs the feed. Try and reply to multiple people in the one comment if that's what you're aiming to do (I can see you already know how). Otherwise, if you want to add new info, then just edit your first comment. It makes it easier for everyone to parse the feed and prevents it from getting spammed too much. I'd reccomend having a read of the RMB Rules and FAQ
If you prefer a more relaxed forum, you can try our roleplay forum at A Taco Arhcipeligo (it's open to everyone, so just post away, no need for membership, or try the XKI discord. We also have an offsite XKI forum at https://10000islands.proboards.com which has all sorts of goodies to discover.
Lastly, it's good to play around with the tools, and I see you've discovered that the 'quote' tool is anything but. I would appreciate not misattributing quotes to me though (or anyone else for that matter). It's an easy way to get people offside very quickly.
New wesburg I'm sorry to hear that. Losing someone is a unique pain to go through, especially someone who's probably had a big impact on your life. It can be a very strange mix of sadness, confusion and (at least when it happened to me) a weird kind of relief. I hope you have lots of fond memories of her to cherish, and that the funeral brought you some closure.
The RMB (or Regional Message Board) is the common property of everyone in 10000 Islands. When posting on it, please observe these rules: ⠀ 1. The RMB (or Regional Message Board) is the common property of everyone in 10000 Islands, and posts on the RMB should be PG-13 in nature and relevant to the wider community whenever possible. The XKI RMB is not a chat-board of the sort that appears as a quick moving sidebar on many games, or on YouTube channels, etc. The XKI RMB is designed for substantive posts and community discussions, government announcements, nation introductions and updates, and is an area where nations may ask questions and get answers relating to the game. ⠀ The RMB should not be monopolized by a few, for extended conversations, to the exclusion of everyone else. This sort of one-on-one chatting should be moved to the regional Discord server or conducted using the NationStates telegram feature. ⠀ 2. Racist, homophobic, or generally intolerant comments directed at another group or individual, be they political or social in nature, are not acceptable in the RMB. This applies to everyone, regardless of political stripe or perspective. ⠀ NationStates is a political game, and political conversations in the RMB are frequent. If you disagree with someone, make your case by presenting a different set of ideas, not by attacking the individual with whom you don't agree. Flaming and trolling (posts designed specifically to incite controversy, bait others, or create negative discourse) are also expressly forbidden forms of posting. ⠀ 3. Roleplay is not permitted in the 10000 Islands RMB ⠀ Occasionally posting in-character (from the perspective of your nation's leader), presenting IC updates from your nation, or posting national factbooks, is permitted and encouraged in the XKI RMB. ⠀ However, when in-character exchanges occur between two or more people, this moves into the realm of roleplay, which is not permitted in the XKI RMB. If you wish to proceed with an in-character exchange with another nation or nations, please move the conversation to the A Taco Archipelago RMB or A Taco Fantasy RMB, which exists solely for the purpose of RMB RP activities. ⠀ 4. Spamming, filler posts, obscene language, and multi-posting are not permitted ⠀ Spamming will include any nonsense posts or posts that contribute nothing to the regional conversation or the discussion at hand. Posting for the sake of posting or for attention, gibberish, posting in all caps or using bold or underlined text unnecessarily all fall into this category, and are not permitted. Quoting spam posts by another user perpetuates the spam problem and will be considered spamming as well. ⠀ Double or triple posting (posting two or more comments consecutively) is also not allowed. The posting window on each comment has an EDIT feature. If you find you have more to say after posting in the RMB, simply add to your first post instead of making a second, unless replying to a post from someone else after yours. ⠀ 5. Recruiting and region linking is not permitted ⠀ Promoting movement out of XKI to another region is against regional RMB rules. This will also include doing so by linking to another region in the RMB, using code. This is particularly true of linking to raider regions in the XKI RMB, which should never occur. You are welcome to mention other regions in the game, but please do not create hotlinks. ⠀ Nations posting from outside XKI are expected to follow regional RMB rules.
Well RMB is not best place place to have proper talk. Its more for slow term, info etc and that is why we generally do actual talking in our discord :) (Link in our World fact book entry nearly top of the page) Also this is the time of the day Muricans are Sleeping and we Europeans are just starting doing stuff xD
But like said we are more active in discord :)
Edit: Also dont spam RMB its not place for spam. We have Spam section in our forums and Discord or RMB in region=a_taco_archipelago You dont need to move nation there since we got embassy and we dont have have way more loose RMB rules there :)
Greetings WH, was busy during your Office Hours, hope you don't mind me asking some questions a bit late, hah. Hope your day's going well. Would you say that your position as Minister for Labour is a bit difficult at times, with so many things to do? Do you also remember on your first TITO update? How was it? Favourite weather?
We base that by thinking those who we agree with are the intelligent ones. Tho i bet intelligent people have better things to do than play NationStates xD
Hi Val! I'd say that being Minister of Labor is only difficult when you procrastinate and let things pile up which I've totally never done before . I do remember my first TITO Update! It was in early May of last year, and we were liberating/defending (don't remember which) a region called Morshu-something, and when we were told to jump I missed by like 15 seconds (which is a lot). Favorite weather is rain with or without light thunder. The rain is rhythmic and peaceful :)
