Telta | I see The West Pacific has changed quite a bit since i last been here. It feels like home but so unfamiliar LOL. But hey. Might as well continue my fun fact trend i use to do. Fun Fact: The Moon has Moonquakes. Just like Earthquakes on Earth except there less intense and believed to be caused by Tidal stresses from the distance between the Earth and the Moon.

The Snarky Solar Observer of Bhang Bhang Duc | When I lived in NZ I lived not too far from a town called Bluff, which was renowned for its oysters. Look up Bluff oysters. Numpties, Fuentana, Ostellan, and Xener smoneack | |

Xener smoneack | by making the Government size bigger, and also make the nation socialist, then the poor people in your country will be happy. | |
The Devastation of Cro Magnon | Is you hanky an oyster shell? | |
Sensorland | TWP is always in flux. And yet, it retains that underlying TWP-ness. Edit: I did not indend the double entendre, but upon reading this back to myself, I noticed it. Whoops. Bhang Bhang Duc, Ostellan, Zoran, Rikanhimel, and 1 otherBobki | |
Numpties | I think you're bluffing! ;-) | |

The Snarky Solar Observer of Bhang Bhang Duc | And your first one to be suppressed. Please do not use all capitals - it is considered to be shouting. Please have a read of this dispatch concerning RMB etiquette. We ask you to follow these rules: most are common sense and basic courtesy. Residents of The West Pacific are shown more leniency in regards to these rules, especially new nations. Visitors are also welcome, but they are expected to read the rules when entering and will be shown less leniency. Breaking these rules can result in warning, suppression, or banjection; with immediate banjection for serious offenses. Do's Be careful with quotes: Replace their content with -snip- when dealing with long or rule-breaking posts, but do not alter their content in any other way. Be patient: This is a worldwide game played in people's spare time. Understand that your post might not get a response in a timely fashion. Respect everyone: Always be courteous and respectful to your fellow players. Flaming, baiting, trolling, harassment and the like result in banjection. Stay calm: Discussion is encouraged, but if things get heated during a debate, step away from the keyboard. Speak English: English is the language of NationStates, so please use it or provide an English translation for your fellow regionmates. Take time to read: If you ask a question and are directed to look it up somewhere, look it up instead of demanding a full page answer. Welcome new nations: New nations should have their greetings and queries answered in a friendly manner and be encouraged to get involved. Don'ts No advertising: This includes dispatches, factbooks, polls, events, and of course recruitment, unless permission is given by the Delegate. No asking for endorsements: Endorse other nations to be endorsed back, instead of asking in the RMB. No double posting: You should always use the Edit button at the bottom right of your post to add more information. No feeding the trolls: Instead of giving attention, notify the Delegate and Guardians (you can ping in the Discord Server) and wait for them to act. No inappropriate content: Examples include but are certainly not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, fascism, nazism, and non-PG-13 content. No puppetwanking: Don't use puppets to ban evade, like your own posts, or create false conversations. No real life politics: We're here to have fun playing NationStates, not to get stressed in political discussions. No roleplaying: We have dedicated roleplay areas in offsite platforms, you can read more in the Map & Roleplay dispatch. No rules-lawyering: If you are unhappy with a Delegate or Guardian decision, telegram them instead of complaining in the RMB. No spamming: Messages with meaningless content will be suppressed, with immediate banjection for accounts created for spam. Remember, the Delegate and Guardians have final say on what is and isn't acceptable. Layout by Bran Astor & Fujai Thank you.

Orandia | I realized I can change my nation's pretitle, which would be much more exciting had I any idea on what to change it to. Bhang Bhang Duc, Sensorland, Fujai, Fuentana, and 3 othersOstellan, Rikanhimel, and Willow Gate | |
Fuentana | There will be an opportune time during a major event, initiative, or something requiring TWP snark :) Bhang Bhang Duc, The Holy Principality of Saint Mark, Starblazer, Ostellan, and 2 othersRikanhimel, and Orandia | |
Sensorland | I went through several... less than imaginative pretitles in the earlier days after gaining that ability. I eventually settled on the current one, which I quite like. Bhang Bhang Duc, Zoran, Orandia, and Bobki | |

The Crimson King of Westwind | All Along the Westwind Watchtower Reports: - A late model Ford Mustang drove-by with the usual loud music - except that it was loud Japanese Koto music. It was actually enjoyable and a refreshing change from the usual loud undifferentiated rumble-booms of unknown music. - Meanwhile, you just never know what Westwind might end up researching...."Pyrophoric compounds burns at a much higher temperature compared to napalm." I blame Bhang Bhang Duc for mentioning Apocalypse Now the other day. - Then Westwind was pondering a new design for a Hybrid Solar/Multi-Electromagnetic Dynamo power generator and perpetual motion machine. But without practical applications for the device, the design was shelved. (I don't think it will provide the 1.21 gigawatts needed for the time machine, even with multiple units in series. The solar panels needed would be too big to be practical. We need more efficient solar panels.)

The Snarky Solar Observer of Bhang Bhang Duc | This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Fuentana | TODAY IN THE WEST It's Thank You Thursday! What are you thankful for? I'm thankful for Die Hard. Why? Because today is Wiggle Your Toes Day, which points to the greatest post-air travel advice in the Die Hard universe: "After you get where you are going, take off your shoes and your socks. Then you walk around on the rug barefoot and make fists with your toes." Take care of your feet whether you're at home or in the air :) Today is also Fresh Breath Day. Pop a mint and have fresh breath. Don't forget to floss too!!! Campaigning has begun in TWP's Quarterly Elections. You can read about our candidates here over the next several days: Finally, are you thankful for The West Pacific? Show your gratitude by endorsing Bran Astor and participating in our Endless Summer of Endorsements! It feels great to have 250 endorsements, so endorse each other (up to 250).

The Republic of Ostellan | *Exhales* *sniff, sniff* Today I'm thankful for Fuentana for reminding me about this, no wonder my cats keeps giving me the stink eye and runs away whenever I try to give them a kiss.
