You were talking about how he was the one that got you started in baseball.

We do not.

Deerfenland had written an essay about how many naysayers there are when you are striving to make it into professional sports like baseball. In one he mentioned a friend was being scouted, while other people were telling him that he was too short, didn’t work hard enough, wouldn’t ever make it. It struck a chord with me, a sort of “been there, done that” thing.

I’ll just say this. If he is intent on becoming a MLB catcher, he’s chosen the most difficult route into professional baseball. And he better damn well go to college, one with a great coach. Baseball is a numbers game, and catchers as catchers have such a long development time, that development is best left to the NCAA. Everyone has heart aplenty.

A few HS catchers do get minor league contracts. If they can hit, they’re moved to other positions so they can advance. Otherwise, someone has to catch all those pitchers who are in development. Professional baseball goes through pitchers at a tremendous rate; that’s where the turnover is.

I really do hope things work out for you, Deerf.

Daaaang I couldn't have said it better myself.

Consider this an order Deerf!

Hello Everyone. I have made a new nation and I might need some help.

The Strangers Club wrote:Maybe it's best that you keep your childish opinions to yourself. It was just a joke but silly me how could I have forgotten that you can't tell jokes on the internet anymore without some special snowflake getting his feelings hurt over nothing. Truthfully, I don't give a damn about what you say. You won't restrict my mouth and take away my freedom of speech. I can say whatever I want no matter how stupid, selfish or hateful it is.

You can, yes. But being an ass to people doesn't earn you any favours and you really don't have to be. So when you have a joke to say, make sure it fulfills the purpose of a joke which is being funny, not purely hurtful.
Manners cost you nothing.

Welcome to The North Pacific!

Welcome to The North Pacific (TNP)! You might be a new nation to the game or in TNP, and you don't really know what is going on or where to start. Or you may be an experienced member but have several questions regarding some of the activities going on. Whatever the case, we have put together this handbook that you can use to familiarize yourself with the game and TNP, and to make the most out of your time in NationStates (NS).

The handbook has a number of different sections. The index below will help you navigate them. If you have any questions not answered in this handbook, feel free to send a telegram to Delegate Kaschovia, Minister of Home Affairs Lionsroar, or any of the Gameside Advocates and Mentors. They will be glad to help! Additionally, we are always looking to improve this handbook, so let us now if you think something should be added or changed.

Onboarding Checklist

This section covers the very first items you should check off as a newcomer to the game and TNP.

  • Why you should be in TNP: Selecting a region for your nation is one of the most important decisions you will make in the game. We hope you will make TNP your home, and this link explains why. If you have already decided to stay here, that's great!

  • Join the regional forum: The forum is where most government and roleplay activities take place. Registering an account is very easy. You should get yourself an account so that you can check out what's going on and join in on the fun.

  • Join our regional chat: Our Discord server is where our members hang out and chat about the game and real life subjects. You can join and introduce yourself to our community. Additionally, if you have any questions, asking on Discord is the fastest way to get help.

  • Apply for citizenship: Citizenship is your ticket to TNP. As a citizen, you can vote to elect our Delegate and other government officials, hold them accountable, and even run for these positions yourself. All you need to apply is a nation in TNP and an account on the forum.

Ways to Get Involved

Now that you have cleared the basics, you must be looking for things to do. Below are some of the opportunities TNP offers.

  • Get involved in the government: There are many ways to get involved in the government straight away after joining TNP. You can write the regional laws in the Regional Assembly. You can take part in the day-to-day running of the region in the Executive Staff. Or, you can protect TNP at home and abroad in the North Pacific Army.

  • Get involved in the World Assembly: Joining the World Assembly (WA) is one of the best ways to empower your nation, especially in TNP. Thanks to our WA Development Program, as a WA member you can determine international laws, have one of the highest endorsement counts in the entire game, and even win awards!

  • Get involved in RolePlay: We have not one, but two vibrant RolePlay (RP) universes, Eras and Strangereal. Each comes with its own map, chronology, and physics laws. If you commit to being active in RP, you can claim a spot in either universe's map, and join others in weaving stories about your nation and its role in the world.

  • Get involved in trading cards: Our regional cards guild provides many resources you can take advantage of to increase the value of your deck, including several offerings of free cards. As a member of the guild, you can also participate in many other cards-related activities, including themed collections, pull events, and regular publications.

Regional Publications

Through our regional nation, The Northern Light, we post a number of regular regional publications. You can follow them to stay up to speed with what's going on in TNP.

  • The Northern Lights: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, this is our regional newspaper. It includes both general news and op-ed articles about various aspects of TNP and NS.

  • The North Star: Produced by the Ministry of Communications, The North Star informs TNPers of current internal matters and government activities.

  • Information for WA Voters: Produced by the Ministry of WA Affairs, IFVs provide vote recommendations and analysis about all resolutions that reach the floor of the General Assembly or Security Council.

  • Weekly Anthologies: Produced by the Gameside Advocates, this series highlights dispatches produced by TNP nations.

About me!

by Asthea

Hello! And here is where I would explain everything that I could about my nation and "probably" a bit of myself, and always remember this new nations

IM A SHE

Name: Asthea
Nickname: Asthy-chan, Asthy-san (however you like, but not too much)
Age: *FBI Knocks*
Likes: Vanilla, Meeting friends, Getting one upvotes for the Nation Bio
Dislikes: didn't get noticed by people, cockroaches and corruption rates

Few notes:

I'm quickly to get triggered, so, ahem, please don't be racist

Don't ask for my fetish please, I rather keep it secret

Don't talk using 中文字, it irritates me, why? Don't ask

I'm a Pacifist, but sometimes I can get hungry, but don't worry, most of my warring posts are jokes, don't take it seriously :3

(Unless you declare war at me first)

My nation use Renewable Energy Sources, so don't try to sell uranium or fuel to me

Martantaka is my husbando, don't touch him >:3

Kerlodia is my GBFF

I don't know who Kerlodes is

I'm a little annoying when it comes to fighting, so please forgive me for giving you some offense in that process

Oh oh! I like headpats! Feel free to pat my head anytime! ^w^

what I do hate the most is that you call me shorty! I'm 5'3!

It is confirmed I was sadistic, I like to see people in a confined spaces broke down and just do anything they would do to just wanted to break out


Literally, my country supposed to be a joke, named Asthma, But somehow, the name spelled Asthea instead of Asthma

I found it out few days after my country was created, and I was like "eh why not?"

Anyway, I hope you could understand more about me and a few things I don't like in the future, which I would put up here in case of another new nation is coming in

I may look like a land hungry country, but I care about others too! *pouts* also, if you don't mind, can i be your friend? <:3

BS. There was a great deal of harm. I would dearly love to follow that last sentence with a choice noun, but civility demands otherwise.
