New Government Appointments

~ 10000 Islands newest Ambassador to The Rejected Realms is Grea Kriopia. Eastern New England will serve as XKI Emissary to New West Indies. Wille-Harlia was appointed Emissary to Hartfelden. Congratulations to all three on their new appointments, and, kudos to Foreign Affairs maven Kuriko and XKI Minister of Labor HumanSanity who have now filled all diplomatic positions in the region.
~ Regional Cultural Officer HumanSanity brought on several new Office Assistants to aid in the development of regional events and ongoing projects. Welcome to the Culture Team Rovid-9, Constantinolia, Wille-Harlia, South Orwelland, and Valentian Elysium.
~ Dedicated Islander Eastern New England was appointed 10000 Islands WA Secretary by Chief Executive Markanite
~ The multi-talented Grea Kriopia was selected as 10000 Islands Secretary of State and will be supporting Kuriko in the WA Sec-Gen role and maintaining regular WA voting polls on the XKI forum.
~ Regional super-administrator Paffnia has been named Deputy Regional Reserve Chair
~ Gaming User Marxist germany, Krystalveil, and HumanSanity have been appointed as RMB RP Moderators for the newly created XKI RP region A Taco Archipelago

A New Home for XKI Fast Roleplay

With the dramatic influx of new nations to the game after the Reddit boom earlier this year, the Council of Nine sought a creative solution to the accommodation of those newer nations that crave a quicker style of RP than TGs and the forum could allow. Not wanting ongoing RP to choke the regional RMB, the decision was reached to create an RMB-only region, with an embassy and RMB access exclusive to 10000 Islands residents.

Thus, A Taco Archipelago was born, and just in time for the latest wave of new nations in April, courtesy of Youtuber Drew. After a short period of transition and a few growing pains, the new region’s RMB is thriving with RP activity, international intrigue, murders, poisonings, skirmishes , and trade agreements. Lore in the region is growing at an exponential rate, and with such easy access and a welcoming core of RPers, early results suggest A Taco Archipelago will become a significant part of the 10000 Islands landscape.

10000 Islands Population Explosion

First and foremost, congratulations and sincere thanks must be extended to 10000 Islands’ exceptional Recruiting Team all of whom burned the midnight oil throughout April to tackle both of the Youtube waves of new nations to the game. The results of those efforts speak for themselves. At the start of April, XKI’s population was 1464 nations, by the end of the month 2761 nations were calling XKI home. Total new nations joining 10000 Islands during April was 1297. While there will no doubt be a downturn as the uncommitted nations begin to CTE (any day now) the region is anticipating good retention, thanks to a broad scope of engaging regional activities.

Around the Islands

~ Recent arrival to XKI Constantinolia was named April’s LinkFeatured Nation. Constantinolia has joined the XKI Cultural Team and is active in the field of NS Card Collecting, boasting the top deck in the region. Congratulations on being selected as Featured Nation by Deputy Minister of Education Sargon reman
~ Nations Grea Kriopia and Controlitia have been appointed as members of regional Community Watch to provide more moderation and greater security in light of the huge increase in new nations.
~ Cultural Officer HumanSanity hosted a variety of Interviews with prominent NationStates players as part of the Link10000 Islands Best Flag and Motto Competition. Voting in the competition has now ended, and the winning flags and mottos can be viewed at the bottom of this dispatch
~ Senior Senator for Himes West and regional RP Czar (Gaming User) Marxist germany held the LinkApril Trade Pacts Competition where nations sought to engage others in mutual trade agreements.

Congratulations to the winners, as well as to runner-up Trade Pact Perria International.

Prominent Islanders and government officials took to the RMB to answer questions, provide guidance and welcome newcomers to the region. Thanks to Markanite, Kuriko, (Gaming User)Marxist germany, Kanta Hame, THX1138, The tasmanian islands, HumanSanity, HN67, Paffnia, and Jabberwocky for guiding these essential orientation sessions.

Es Freud mich sehr das wir jetzt eine Botschaft teilen mit Deutschland. Das passiert nicht oft. Im Moment können Offiziere auf unserem RMB posten. Dies kann bei Bedarf erweitert werden. Worauf Sie sich freuen können, sind freundliche Interaktion und verschiedene saisonale Grüße.

Herzliche Grüße vom Eurth Gemeinschaft.

Welcome · Wilkommen · Добро пожаловать · Bienvenue · Benvenuto · Bienvenido · Witam Cię · Welkom · Καλώς Ορίσατε · Hoş geldin · Välkommen · Salve

Mir gefällt auch sehr die mehrsprachige Begrüßung im WFE. Kommt dies von der internationalen Zusammensetzung der Spieler, reflektiert es die fiktive Rollenspiel-Welt, oder beides?

I like the multilingual greeting in the WFE very much. Does this originate from the multilingual player base, does it reflect the fictional roleplay world, or both?

Bavaria and franconia wrote:Not to be greedy, but anyone want to endorse me?

Die bewährte Methode ist, einfach rundum allen Endorsements zu verteilen. In der Regel kommen einige zurück. :) Ich persönlich mache ich es immer davon abhängig, dass jemand zuerst ein Endorsement an Yermaney gibt, aber das liegt daran, dass ich möchte, dass dies nicht vergessen wird.

Da hattet ihr aber ordentlich zu tun! Du meine Güte. Einerseits sicher erfreulich, andererseits auch etwas chaotisch.

Ich könnte später mal eine Umfrage erstellen "Wie hast du die Region Deutschland gefunden?". Da wir keine Einladungstelegramme an neue Nationen schicken, sondern Spieler selbst herausfinden müssen, dass sie ihre Nationen hierher verschieben können, könnte es ganz interessant sein, dies zu erfahren. Welche Optionen sollte ich in so eine Umfrage hereinnehmen?

Danke an alle für die Endorsements. Leider gab es vor einem Monat eine Art Coup (oder ein Versehen), sodass ich kurz abgelöst wurde.

It often works to imagine yourself in the other person's shoes first. It goes for online interaction, just as it goes for personal interaction. There's always a person on the other end. It does not always work, because tastes differ. But it's helpful, for example, to determine: Would you appreciate receiving messages like these?

I don't understand what you mean here. Why did they telegram you, instead of telegramming the nations that are in charge in Atlantis?

Es ist zwar noch nicht ganz Juni, aber fast. Das neue Factbook des Monats stammt aus dem Land Anelka und beschreibt die Symbolik der Flagge mitsamt Grünspecht.

(Ich sehe zwar öfter Buntspechte, aber einen Grünspecht habe ich auch schon hier und da mal gesehen.)

Like every good flag, the waving identifier of Anelka symbolises its rich countryside, as well as its people.

Anelkas flag features a combination of golden yellow and bright green in the lower foreground.
As a metaphor for the countries lush countryside, the green side resembling the old forests and ceaseless meadows. Likewise, the green colour reflects the undying hope of the Anelkan's. On the other side, the yellow golden colour embodies Anelkas large and fruitful fields, often filled with barley or wheat in the summer. However, the colour also symbolizes the Anelkan's wise mentality, always valuing intelligence in decisions, rather than quick actions.

The upper backround of the flag is filled with a luscious bright blue, resembling the always sunny sky, that stretches all over Anelka. At the same time, the blue colour is included to show off Anelkas inviting, laid-back vibe. Showing, that this country is a place of relaxation for citizens and guests.

In the middle of Anelkas flag rises a bright white sun, just as you would see it on a summer morning over the Anelkan coast or fields. The white colour and it's position were chosen to display the purity of Anelka's citizens. While life may lead to difficult choices, Anelkans believe that every mistake can be made up for, as humans stay pure in their deepest inside.

Finally, the Green Woodpecker, Anelka's national animal flies in front of the glistening sun, as the ultimate symbol for the never ending Anelkan struggle for freedom in all of it's forms.
