*Walks into the Moose Factory* *Sees the horde of zukes, the strange whatchamahoozit they're making, the potentially contagious Joesocwork (hope you get better soon), and the bright green creature that used to be hello_SC4, panics, and runs out* *Returns a few minutes later with his spudgun for defense, and cautiously shuffles back in* *Assists hello_SC4 in finishing his pistachios* Mmm, tasty. Orange juice, zelgadis? Well, look on the bright side...it wasn't grape juice. That stuff leaves nice big purple splotches all over the carpet. So, has anyone else been having miserably hot summer weather? It's been in the nineties where I live. The humidity isn't too low either, which makes you feel remarkably like you're being deep-fried. Maybe I should go on vacation to someplace with a more temperate climate...say, Nome, or Anadyr'. Say, I'll take some kind of industrial-strength coolant fluid, a few raw potatoes for my spudgun, and another few quarts of pistachios for me and my green friend here, please.

Welcome to the region FedexFlyer! Glad to have you! NDP, your link doesn't work. It takes me to my nation. You'll want to use the link at the bottom of your nation's page (where it says Want to show a friend your nation? Send them the link below). Are you the Principality of Denhulme? If so, welcome to the region! Well, a few days ago the Mushroom Kingship left. Was it something we said? Lol. Also, it looks like the Republic of Helomoto has ceased to exist. What happened there? Oh, and the Democratic Republic of the Europeana Union has decided to become un-anonymous now. It's Dev. Anyway, my nation finally got out of being Democratic Socialist. Whew. I also passed the 500 million population mark, so I got to change my name to the Conservative Confederation of Fart Blossom.

I'm back! Looks like everything's been okay. I still need to know Batheia Thalassa's ST Username, though. The link still doesn't work wbelac. My fault, I made it that way in the top post, too! Oops. It's supposed to end with region=simtropolis not nation=simtropolis. The top link is fixed now, but here it is again if somebody needs it: LINK Sorry about that. Welcome to the STR Dereko!

The presence of my absence is in effect approximately...now. Me going away, be back in a few days. Take care y'all! Also, I might not have as much time to come here during the summer. Probably be doing real-life stuff. But I'll still be around. EDIT: I'm back now!

Welcome Ninten1 and BH! And congrats to wbelac for becoming UN Delegate! Have fun doing all those delegate-y things. I'm going to be gone for a few days next week, and probably won't be here as much during the summer, so I decided I might as well enable Regional Control access for the UN Delegate now. Take care o' da place, an' no kicking me out, now, y'hear?

Welcome Vintovia, Pari-Paladdelinia, and Mushroom Kingship! Glad to have y'all! We now have 20 nations! I'm afraid I need your name, though, Mushroom Kingship. So anyway, wuz up y'all?

Welcome wbelac! Glad to have ya! Ugh. Somehow my nation's UN Category became...ack...Democratic Socialists. Oh well, they're just the UN Categorizing people, what do they know. Any STR members have any opinion on the current UN issue ? Your UN Delegate is voting for it so far, unless my constituents have a different opinion?

NationStates.net Newbie Information: NationStates.net (NS) is a website where you get to create your own virtual nation. As time goes by, you will get to shape your nation to your own idea of a good place to live..or not. You can join the UN and vote on UN Resolutions...or not. As the website says, it's really up to you. It's quite fun, and you can always quit if you don't like it. You might want to try it! Your nation exists in one of about sixteen thousand regions. In a region, you get to elect a regional UN Delegate to represent the region on aforementioned UN Resolutions, see who makes it to the top of several regional rankings (i.e. Safest Nations In [region]), and generally hang out with the other nations in the region. Be sure to read the NationStates FAQ if you're new. Okay, now that that's out of the way... I started a Simtropolis Region (STR) on NationStates about a month ago: LINK All ST members are welcome, and invited, to move their nation to the region and play NS with your fellow Simtropolids! Though there is no password-protection or anything, I do ask new arrivals to please give your ST username, either here or in the forum at the bottom of the region page. It's just a security precaution, and so we know who you are.This thread is for STR members to discuss anything related to the region: Welcoming new arrivals, introducing yourself, discussing region events, campaigning for UN Delegate votes, etc. etc. The forum on the region page only shows the last ten posts, so it's kind of awkward to talk about anything, hence this thread. I PMed SkiGeek about starting this thread, and she said it would be OK. She also said that we can discuss the UN Resolutions and Proposals here, as long as we keep the discussion on the issues and NOT each other.

Alright Dudy, thanks for explaining. Sounds good. I was afraid I had offended somebody... Anyway, you can be in two regions...sort of. You can simply create another nation (they call it a puppet nation) and move it to the other region. You can't have both in the UN, though. In fact, I think I'll dispatch one of my puppets to your region now.

Well, I became an annuarian three months ago (2/4/05) and didn't even realize it! So I guess you could sign me up if you want. Do you think saying Simtropolis Annuarian will work when the Arby's drive-thru person asks you Any discounts?? 350th post!

Author: crazyarchitect what an order old fart, shounds like your ordering a month's worth of food lolquote> *Looks up from pile of food wrappers and empty plates, no food in sight* A month's worth? Month? HAHAHAHAHA! Thassa good 'un! Author: The_Dalai_Llama You'll have to make the order via Denny's Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, PA, but it should feed all of us. 15 lbs. of meat, cheese, and bun. quote> Sounds good, let's order one. But...all of us? What are the rest of you going to have?

*materializes on table* Hey guys, I'd like a hot dog, three double cheeseburgers, two King-Size bags of Cheetos, four bowls of chicken soup, six bottles of Beano, five packs of french fries, three two-liter bottles of root beer, two Hyper-Ultra-Super-Sized pepperoni pizzas, seven bottles of Tums, five roast beef sandwiches (cheese on three), nine tubes of Pringles, twenty-three Ham 'n' Cheese Hot Pockets, eighteen 12oz steaks, twelve baked potatoes, eight pickles, thirteen bottles of ranch dressing, twenty-two PB&J sandwiches, one hundred and thirty two Saltine crackers, fourteen peices of toast, nineteen scrambled eggs, eleven fried eggs, twenty-four servings of hash browns, sixteen dinner rolls, three Moose Factory Wednesday Specials, and perhaps a few doggie bags. *looks around innocently as the autochef shorts out and falls over* Hum-de-dum. nosoup: Yeah. That was absolutely ridiculous. HOW, in the WORLD, can you accidentally fly a plane over a large city? It seems to me it would be pretty obvious. Yo Bubba, does that be a CITTY down there? How in heck can dat be a citty? Dat can't be! Nah, it ain't. How 'bout we just keep flyin', eh? Dat ain't no citty. It just one o dem twee funguseses. Yeah, dat's what it done be, sum kinds o fungus. We keep goin', no? If I were those pilots, I'd consider myself extremely lucky that those F-16s only escorted me out. And hey, nice trick nosoup! *pulls a zuke out of nosoupforyou's sleeve

Duke87: It's a JOKE, DUKE!!!! That whole post was supposed to sound overly formal and old-fashiondish, which is supposed to be funny. And AD stands for Anno Domini, Latin for Year of our Lord. Since that sounds overly formal and old-fashiondish, I used that. wbelac: Um, wouldn't just deleting our whole signature be easier?

On this day of Tuesday, the Tenth of May, in the Year of our Lord 2005, I, oldfart of Simtropolis, hereby propose that the Administration of Simtropolis shall Modify the Profiles of Simtropolis Members Duke87 and DuskTrooper, so that their respective Avatars, in their Whole and Complete form, shall on Tuesday, the Seventeenth of May, in the Year of our Lord 2005, be Changed to the Form of a Blank Avatar, in Observation of Blank Avatar Week, and in Addition to This, that the Simtropolis Yearbook Commitee shall, in a comprehensive manner, fully Record the Complete, Voluntary, Willing, and Cheerful Participation of Simtropolis Members Duke87 and Dusktrooper in Blank Avatar Week, to be Observed by future Simtropolids for All Eternity. Lol. No offense to you guys. I'm just kidding with you.

Sounds good Dalai! It should be... interesting... I uploaded our new avatar to imageshack.us, so it will save even more bandwidth: So you can just put this in your URL of your avatar: field on May 17th: http://img256.echo.cx/img256/2707/blankavweek0kz.jpg Sound good?
