From the Foreign Affairs Advocate

Yes, I’m still alive and kicking. Between work, department restructuring, and a demon called dial-up internet, I have managed to get this update completed and out to all of our embassies. Now, I know I'm no Pope Lexus, but hopefully you'll enjoy this latest edition of the GV Foreign Report as much as you've enjoyed those in the past. So sit back, kick off your shoes, and read about the latest happenings in Gatesville.




The Winds of Change

May 11 was a day of shock and sadness across Gatesville. In a move that left even the most alert people absolutely bewildered, Nevadar retired from her position as Gatesville's WA Delegate.

Nevadar
 
Well, guys, this has been a very, very long time in coming, but the day is finally here. With all of the current hullabaloo in my personal real life, I have been neglecting Gatesville more and more. I expect that when I begin veterinary school this fall, my available time is going to decrease even further. It is time for me to move on, and for Gatesville to return to having an active and dedicated delegate who can lead us to a new path. It has been an honor and a privilege serving as your delegate, so I am now going to step down to the less time-consuming role as Princess. I will still be around here and there, and I will still step in to stomp some heads if anyone disrespects Gates (yes, I am talking to YOU), but I need to focus on my real life and my schooling at the present time.


Reactions from Gatesville's citizens were almost as if Nevadar was leaving us forever. While some wrote of their experiences with Nev, others simply wished her luck. Nev influenced every single GV citizen in some way, shape, or form. She was a mentor to many and a great help to all. Were it not for her faith in me and seeing some potential, I myself might still be a lowly private in the GG.

As Nevadar stepped back to her former role as Gatesville's Princess, she was once more given the spotlight as she became the latest addition to Gatesville's Hall of Fame, expanding it's hallowed ranks to a mere 10 members. To be considered one the great members of Gatesville is an honor that is unmatched and through her dedicated work, Nev earned it.

With Nevadar's retirement still fresh in our minds, it was time to set our sights towards the future of Gatesville. With a nomination from Nevadar and unanimous approval from the Gatesville High Council, former GV Security Advocate Darkesia became the latest person to hold the lucrative position of Gatesville's WA Delegate. So far Darkesia has seemed to be the pinch that Gatesville needed to get back in the game. Working alongside GV's newly appointed WA Advocate, Kostemetsia, Darkesia has breathed new life into Gatesville's WA department. We all wish Darkesia the best of luck and stand behind her and Gates as the reigns of our mighty region are passed to another set of hands.

In the interim between Nevadar's retirement and Darkesia's ascension to delegate, one of Gatesville's longtime members, Surfer Chicks, became the delegate of Gatesville for two days. In typical Gatesville fashion a party was thrown and booze flowed freely throughout the land.




GUN... Run?

The Gatesville Guard was on the move again as it marched in to support the forces of The West Pacific in their invasion of the Global Union of Nations (GUN). Gatesville was initially neutral in the conflict, but in a flash of stupidity, several of GUN's members made a few callous comments about Gatesville's WA Delegate, Darkesia. Gatesville's reaction was swift and the Guard's deployment ensured the region of GUN would never rise again. After the deployment there was a round of promotions within the Guard to reward the hard work of all of our fine soldiers.

A Brave New World

Gatesville is proud to announce that we've signed an alliance treaty with the Great Green Federation. The treaty has widespread effects concerning military matters involving either region. The treaty is outlined below:

Quote:
 
In signing this treaty, the two great and sovereign regions of The Great Green Federation and Gatesville each recognize the ruling government of the other and pledge to unite in solidarity.

As such, we jointly make the following declarations:

I. Each government pledges that its military shall fully support the other in matters of defense. This includes the regions of The Great Green Federation and Gatesville as well as protectorates, with other allied regions to be optional, Member regions of The Great Green Federation shall also be fully supported in matters of defence.

II. Each government pledges to share any intelligence that relates to the security or well being of the other. It is encouraged but not mandatory that intelligence relating to regions allied with the other party also be shared.

III. Each government shall maintain an embassy in the region of the other, in order to continue good communication.

IV. Each government is encouraged but not obliged to support the other politically in matters of regional sovereignty and foreign affairs.

This alliance having been draughted to help create a strong bond between The Great Green Federation and Gatesville, it shall also serve to provide recognition that the two regions shall strive to work together throughout the ages.
Signed by appropriate parties,

Great Green Federation Supreme Council:
Dren
Lexus
Zy3res
Potchen
Freaky Friends
Baergalore

The Gatesville High Council:
Gates the God
Darkesia
Kostemetsia

We here in Gatesville hope that this treaty will ensure the continuation of cooperation between our two mighty regions and ensure that both regions will stand until the end of days.

Gatesville Survivor

Posted Image

In what has rapidly become a great success, Gatesville Survivor is the new game sweeping through the region. The rules are quite simple. Move a puppet nation to the region Gatesville Survivor and wait to be ejected from the region. The last nation remaining is the winner. Ejections are based off of a random number generator and what person is in that spot in the daily WA rankings. We're currently in the middle of Season 4. The winners of the first three seasons are listed below:

Season 1: Aisli
Season 2: Sudros
Season 3: Randomone

Who will be the next winner of Gatesville Survivor? Stay tuned to find out.




Rockin', Rollin', and Restructurin'

The Foreign Affairs Department is currently in the middle of restructuring embassies and setting up a policy to ensure the department runs as smoothly as possible. The changes will be implemented a bit slowly as each embassy needs to be reviewed to ensure activity is satisfactory and the actual embassy restructuring is done. Once the changes are complete, it will be much easier to access the embassies for all parties involved. If there are any problems during the embassy restructuring, feel free to send me a PM on the Gatesville forums and I'll take a look at it right away.




Amigas y Rivales

It is my great pleasure to announce the opening of embassies with The Alliance of Dictators, Earth Reborn, The New Inquisition, Europeia, and The New Revolution.

I must also announce the indefinite closure of Gatesville's embassy with the Pacific due to a breakdown in friendly relations between the two regions.

You may be hidden! But you are not invisible! The eyes of the High council see through your shroud and are keen enough to see your face!

You think of yourself so highly as to tip-toe through Gatesville, while I am wasting money at the Bar and Grill with other middle council members, the work horses if this region, the illustrious High Council, are watching you. they can see you bold as brass, how dare you think that they don't keep tabs on every nation here! Loyal citizens and those who think themselves above stupidity that they would call themselves spies.

The hills have eyes! The walls have ears! The clouds have infrared scanners and the rugs has pressure sensitive receptors! You are always under the microscope! Never forget where you are and the fact that Gatesville is a juggernaut for a reason!

Hail Gatesville!


Unfortunately our comedy writer, Gorillapigs, was unable to submit a column for this edition as he had some personal problems to attend to. When asked if he had any material, he had this to say.

Not at the moment, I'm having some RL issues with my family. My grandfather who lives in Warsaw has told me that during the war, a beautiful young Jewish girl knocked on his door and begged for help in hiding from the Nazis, so he hid her in his attic. It was a dangerous thing to do because if she'd have been found they'd have both been killed. Anyway, after a while this girl started repaying his kindness with sexual favours, although I can understand how under those circumstances he was weak and betrayed my grandmother, I am having real problems trying to convince him to tell her that the war is over.





Other bits

After a long lull in the roleplay/fan fiction department, Gatesville's Cultural Advocate, Dante, has gotten a story started that seems to have spawned several more different stories. The fan fiction area hasn't been active in quite some time, so every little bit of activity helps. Anybody who is registered on the GV forum can participate in the stories. Simply go to the sign up thread of the story you like and post any necessary information there. You can see the stories and even suggest your own here. (link to fan fiction)

The GVPD has been busy cracking down on spammers and rule breakers within GV. They do a great job keeping the forum and the RMB neat and tidy. Keep up the great work guys.


And so comes the end of yet another FA report from Gatesville. Keep on your toes, you never know what might happen next.

Shalom,

Sorry, for the time being I was your Ambassador FROM A world power. But that was very short lived.
