It would be great I agree. It is hoped We can appoint an ambassador to further cement these relations |

Equilism Update 10 July 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: FarmerLaborers Population: 245 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Special Notice After yet another hacker attack, Westwind has reestablished the Equilism Forum. A round of thanks goes out to him for his tireless efforts. He somehow managed to turn back time, much to the chagrin of Cher, so the latest updates on the boards is sometime in early May 2006. Please do not be alarmed, folks, time-travel is perfectly safe. When last heard from, Westwind was being attended to by some very nice gentlemen wearing white lab coats who softly said something about a “health spa and retreat” somewhere in Glacier National Park. Gossip says it is a padded room. Thoughts & Well-Wishes Our thoughts go out Kertbeny’s mom and Westwind’s dad. Kertbeny’s mom underwent heart bypass surgery and is now recovering remarkably well. Westwind’s dad may have to go through that procedure, as well. General Government Due to the recent disruptions caused by the hacker, the Central Government is doing some backtracking and referencing copious notes. Combining this with the onset of summer holidays, the engine of government has been moving slowly. The Equilism General Assembly, the citizen-based legislative body, has chosen to employ a leadership scheme with a monthly rotating basis. The leader-of-the-month gets to choose their title. The “whip” for July 2006 is Kertbeny…who has chosen to be called: Whatever. Equilism General Assembly Proposition 1, “Weekly Recruitment Quotas,” has been referred to the Supreme Court for constitutionality review. The Proposition was deemed unconstitutional and was striken. UN Resolutions The UN Resolution “Individual Self-Determination” is put before Equilismers for debate and voting. The UN Delegate, FarmerLaborers will present the region’s vote. Foreign Ambassadorial assignments have been completed. Please welcome the ambassadors, whether new or prorogued, with your usual goodwill. Quite a few are either new or new-to-you. It should be a great chance for cultural and ideological exchange. Please note that any damage suffered by embassies is being repaired as quickly as crews can get to you. Everyone will please, not panic. Military The E-army successfully liberated Vineyard. Defenders are grateful for the help of: CDA, GRADF, and PD. The recent updates made to training manuals are being redone. Yep, those were lost, too. Recent applicants may want to send a friendly note to the Military Minister, just in case. Bar & Games Miss Equilism 2006 is still in round two. Bikini-clad contestants eagerly await the results while freezing in the air-conditioned auditorium. We can thank the hacker for this development as all the question AND answers to Round Two were lost. Most of the games were lost in the Hack Attack. Everyone is trying to get their post counts back up. Spam is flying in those boards like, well…flying pieces of spam. Role Play The continuing sagas we’ve all been enjoying for so long…well, they’re no longer continuing as they were. Thanks to time-travel, some new developments in the stories are about to take place. Mass resurrections and changes on alliances will surely ensue. Equilism World Cup 2006 The Equilism World Cup 2006 was fun. Something happened and someone won. More details should follow. Congratulations to whoever won. Debates The only current debate is whether The New York Times is a bastion of free-press or a threat to national security. Quotes Commenting on the recent photographs of President Neo-Conservatism: QUOTE(Chainik Hocker @ Jul 2 2006, 12:15 AM) * So that's what you look like. You are really, really..... blonde, dude. QUOTE(Astarial @ Jul 2 2006, 01:04 AM) * He's even blonder in person. In the sun. Ignoring me. *pouts* QUOTE(Astarial @ Jul 2 2006, 04:00 PM) * Now that I'm a minister (well, now that I remember...) I suppose I should follow the trend of putting black and white pictures of old, generally dead guys as my avatar. |

Equilism Update 26 July 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: FarmerLaborers Population: 239 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism General Notices There’s been something of a homecoming going on recently. We’ve had several former Equilsmers return to the forum and some long-term members of other regions join up. We’re certainly glad to welcome back old friends and for the insight offered by recent tranferees. “You show me yours…I’ll show you mine.” We’re talking about blogs, of course. Members are having a great time sharing their blogs, and oh the things we learn! The heat is apparently affecting the region…tempers are short and it’s just too darn hot to do much of anything else. General Government A suggestion box is the newest thing in the Halls of Government. FarmerLaborers calls for expletives and Equilsmers to kiss the hem of his…what is it that he wears, anyway? Is that a muu-muu?! The Equilism General Assembly has grown by one member and recruitment phase is under way to get more Equilsmers involved. UN Resolutions Resolutions...get your resolutions here. The UN Counterterrorism Initiative passed in Equilism 9-3. Currently voting on UN Resolution: Child Pornography Prohibition. Foreign The Land of Kings and Emperors is the newest resident on Embassy Island. Welcome, and please enjoy the cookies. Military The E-Army has been engaged in super-secret Bar & Games Miss Equilism 2006 is still in round two. Contestants can be seen aging on the stage. Role Play The continuing sagas appear to be on hiatus. Everyone is catching up with summer reruns. Debates The current debates are suitably heated for the season: Bush Swears, Affirmative Action and Religion. Everyone get your protective gear on. Quotes

Equilism Update 4 August 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: FarmerLaborers Population: 222 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism General Interest Wagger-Tribe, Serdurinia and Silvaienia had birthdays recently. Best wishes to you! General Government President Neo sneaks back into the region via the Suggestion Box. We hope he had fun at BoyWorld…BoysNation. Whatever. It still sounds funny. The “leader” of the Equilism General Assembly for August 2006 is Tarricoe. In keeping with tradition he has chosen his own title: “Chairman.” Although, "the Nooterland Worshipper" had a certain ring to it. Elections are coming up in Equilism and you ought to see the hats flying! It’s all speculation until someone puts an eye out with a Fedora. UN Resolutions - Child Pornography Prohibition: passed the region 13-0-1. - Repeal "Metric System": failed repeal by a vote of 3-9. - The current UN Resolution “Repeal Sexual Freedom” should be presented soon. Foreign We welcome Desetland of the NPO as their new ambassador. Our congratulations go to the West Pacific on their recent upturn in activity and to their new senator, Ramaba. Best wishes for continued success. ParrrrTay, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Canada, reported nipping a potential invasion in the bud. As we always say here, “Defenders rock!” We all already know Canada rocks. (Chauce won’t let us forget it.) Military Unnamed sources report the E-Army is on several concurrent missions. This reporter could only corroborate that they are in motion. Bar & Games We’re an eclectic bunch here, and our musical tastes show that. Lots of talk lately about who’s listening to what. We’ve gone from Dr. Who, to Vonda Sheppard, to Steely Dan and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. If we could just get a decent DJ. Restored Othalla has been restored to us. We’re all waiting for tales of his adventures in Greece. Maybe those tequilas in the E-Bar will loosen his tongue! Welcome home. Role Play The continuing sagas…aren’t continuing. “Who Will Post Next” is still spamming along, though. Debates Whoever turned up the temperature brought the debates thread to a boil. Looks like politics and we’re off to the races. We’ve got two threads going on conservatism…the Neo and “Improved” and the just plain old. Safest way to sum it up…folks are getting skewered in both camps. Great though-provoking reading, though. The Ace of Spades Grand Unified Theory of Teh Ghey sparked a wildfire of debate. With friends like him...? Our resident philosopher, Philosophe, explained American Third Parties. Now we’re all a little smarter and we got a great sound bite. Quotes
(Okay, I only included this because I wanted to gloat. It’s not everyday Chauce gives out cookies!) |

Equilism Update 13 August 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: FarmerLaborers Population: 208 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Special Notices Chainik Hocker has officially announced his engagement! Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. We all wish you the best. Welcome to new Equilismers: Propetia New Ixion Empire of Thoughtful Ideas UpOrDown Quailinesti Naivetry General Government Elections in Equilism are under way. Neo-Conservatism is running for a second term as President and Westwind is running for Prime Minister. Both are running unopposed. UN Resolutions - The UN Resolution to Repeal Sexual Freedom: passed in the region 8-2-0. - The current UN Resolution “Hearing Impaired Aid Act” is currently at vote. Foreign Our relationship with the Alliance of Socialist States has been growing quite nicely. There was a small upset due to chicanery and Cheez-Its, but that seems to have settled. As long as no one tries to make off with Ferretton’s Cheez-It’s we will all live longer, and safer, lives. Equilism is concerned about the recent shrinkage in both ASE and ADN. We always take a downturn in activity with fellow defenders seriously. Diplomats have been charged with further investigating the details and what help, if any, Equilism may provide. Military Military Minster, Astarial, has been incommunicado. There are rumors, however, that she has been seen in South Carolina. It is not clear what the recently released picture of her holding a rather large gun and wearing a ball cap is supposed to mean. Has she defected to The South? Has she been kidnapped? Stay tuned for further details as they become known. Bar & Games Nation Creation 3 is gaining attention. A start date should be announced soon. FarmerLabrorers has decided to try his hand at profiling. His suggestion:
Tycholand is trying to revive interest in the Equilism Stock Exchange. That should provide some fun and help us get the bank stocked with Equilants again. Role Play It may be safe to presume that the pervious role-play games are now dead. There is talk about starting some new ones. The old games were lost in the time warp. Equilismers have recently been alternately attacking, then being nice, to the previous poster. Yes, sometimes we are strange, but that’s what families do! Debates Many thanks to FarmerLaborers for resurrecting the Open Debate Board Report. The report is copied below. The thoughts expressed, and any errors, belong to the original post. [quote name=ODB Report] WEEK OF AUGUST 6-12, 2006 Now that I'm no longer PM, I think it's time to return with another report (also helps that I have something to report). Since everything is new, let's take a quick tour down the list: "Sony PSP Ad" In this duel to the death, FL takes down Chaucerin in his first full body blow to the resident master. Facing enormous adversity, including the opposition of almost everyone involved, FL managed to exploit a Chaucerin challenge to prove that he had even the tiniest shade of reason to suspect Sony of racial exploitation, which he did, pouring on a complete mix of scorn, sarcasm, and undeniable examples of past Sony ads being purposefully controversial. FL then managed to quickly shut down the debate when he realized that several of the things he said afterwards were less than perfectly defendable. Seriphyn causes much confusion when he invites debaters to "suck his [foot] balls" and challenges readers' opinions of his sanity. "Israel vs. Hezbollah" Joining the usual ODB suspects this week was new arrival Philosophes, who managed to surprise everyone when he realized that Equilism had not yet debated the Middle East crisis. Besides being a minor crisis in and of itself (Equilism's ODB is supposed to be perfect), Phil sparked a little controversy with his ardent "zionist" stand. There was a minor prelude to a much larger argument when FL questioned Israeli strategy, but that was wrapped up quickly with a mundane agreement. The main back and forth has been over Haken's pro-Lebanon stance, with Phil and Chaucerin lining up to object. Throw in a little anti-semitism, Israeli political history, Christian Arab Lebanese Jewish massacres, and growing posts and you get a good barometer of the mess abroad as well as in our little ODB, as the quote tool mysteriously screws up, Lebanon explodes and Phil challenges Haken to produce a plan for Middle East peace by sundown...or else. "It's Conservatism Stupid" This discussion is all over the place. Our beloved ODB warriors started off discussing the imminent collapse of conservative politics, moving quickly to arguments over political parties and then the Lieberman-Lamont race. As usual, FL is outnumbered as Equilism's moderates and pragmatic liberals circle the wagons and go in for the kill. Will he survive? Find out next time. "2006 American Midterm Elections" In an effort to spark more discussion on the 2006 elections, FL posts a link showing GOP's falling poll numbers. Will anyone take the bait? QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "It means we can move on to the next part of this discussion: resolution! Let's hear the Almighty Haken Plan for Super-Duper World Peace (in the Middle East), after which I will counter with the Philosophe Counter-Plan for Peace in the Arab World (For Great Justice)." -Phil tells Haken to "show me your plan and I'll show you mine" in "Israel vs. Hezbollah" ODB GRADE: A ODB HEROES OF THE WEEK*: Chaucerin Philospophes Haken FarmerLaborers Propetia Kertbeny Neo-Conservatism Westwind *ODB Heroes is a new section tracking those members who made real attempts at long, in depth intellectual discussion which, imo, has contributed to the political enlightenment of our readers (which, of course, is mostly ourselves). Basically, anyone who posts more than one long, thought out reply. [/quote] Quotes

Equilism Update 1 September 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: Westwind Population: 195 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Election Results President – Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister (and UN Delegate) – WestWind Foreign Affairs Minister – Kertbeny Intelligence Affairs Minister – Tse Moana Internal Affairs Minister – Tycholand Military Affairs Minister – Astarial Cabinet Advisor for Foreign Affairs – Chaucerin Cabinet Advisor for Intelligence – Nooterland Special Notice Welcome to new Equilismers: Alcantian Serdurinia The Cadian VIII A special welcome back to Zorn Uzkul. It is always nice to have former members return! General Government In an effort to attract new members, while protecting privacy and preventing spam, Guests – otherwise known as non-registered forum members – now have read-only access to the Debate Section, the RP Forum and the Games & Fun Forum. This should allow prospective members, and new visitors from other regions, to get a better idea of what Equilism is about. We can display our thoughtful side, our creative side and our silly side…all of which present a generally factual cross-section of Equilism. Recruitment telegrams are also being reviewed, with a possibility of revision. A change of wording and focus could help raise the numbers of new Equilismers. Recruitment has moved up on the government’s list of priorities recently. All available members are encouraged to recruit. A call has gone out to veteran Equilismers to join the Mentor Program. This program is to help new citizens become better acquainted with the region. It is an extremely worthwhile, and rewarding, program and it is hoped that participation levels increase. UN Resolutions - The UN Resolution “Hearing Impaired Aid Act”: passed in the region 8-1-1. - The UN Resolution “Help Prevent Ozone Depletion”: failed in the region 4-6-1. - The repeal of UN Resolution “Definition of Marriage”: passed in the region 8-5-1. - The UN Resolution “Orbital Space Safety Act” is currently under consideration. Foreign Equilism’s newest embassy opened recently, to be occupied by The Non Aligned States. The NAS also opened an embassy in their region for Equilism. We are glad to have the opportunity to exchange diplomats and get to learn more about another region. Some changes in ambassadorships, and additions to same, may be coming soon. Military Military Minster, Astarial, has been located. She is well. Sadly, though, her computer fell upon its sword and died an honorable death. We mourn the loss of her computer and her frequent postings. She should be back soon to previous activity levels. Astarial is fulfilling her role as Military Minster in Stealth Mode. Soldiers be told: Your boss is watching. That being said, we are assured of Astarial’s continued revision of the Military Training Manuals. Discussions are under way within the Ministry of changes to the military. These will take into consideration the recent NS game-play changes and Equilism’s role as a premier defender region. Equilism General Assembly Tarricoe’s month of leading the EGA has expired. We would like to thank him for his service. Welcome to new members: Escra, New Ixion and Naivetry. The EGA is currently debating a proposal to limit spamming, and posting of erroneous messages, on the Regional Message Board. Bar & Games Discussions currently going on in The Bar: We’re still showing our blogs and some are quite impressive; one centers around Kim Jung Il going Hollywood with North Korean Propaganda Movies; and the always oddly fascinating Random Thoughts thread. The first ever Equilism Gran Prix is gearing up. It is a Formula-1 style race with a NationStates twist. Submissions for hosting and participants are well under way. We invite our friends, as always, to come out and sign up. Votes are still being tabulated for Miss Equilism 2006. Word games have become outrageously popular recently. The sweet smell of turning leaves and blood in the air…yep, it must be almost autumn. Fantasy NFL Football is about to get started. Wanna play? Join the forum and get a team. Role Play Role playing is back with a vengeance in Equilism. In the next episode of “Seriphyn thrown under shrowd of evil,” we will find out if the supernatural cloud covering the area will allow for communications…or will the soldiers be eaten or suffer an even worse fate. The plot twists of “The Chaucery Combine Destroyed?” will grab you by parts that shouldn’t be grabbed…yet have you enthralled. The normally placid and erudite nation suffers dramatically when tourist season turns into a nightmare. Nuclear warheads, Maoist terrorists, diplomatic hostages. Will Tom Sweet be rescued? Will Anna have an affair? Will the Maoists murder Reverend Dawn French? Join in and find out! Debates In the debate “Stand Erect, Or Be Made to Stand Erect,” we get a bit philosophical with the question: Are there circumstances where the proper action is to fight back? Or is pacifism always the answer? Folks are weighing in, and waking up to the realization that the “2006 American Mid-Term Elections” are just around the corner. Is the Right, right? Are the Democrats dingie? How would Jesus vote? How would you? Come add your voice! The newest debate, “Chaos in Mehico,” concerns the actions of election-loser Obrador and Mexican democracy in general. Quotes

Before I get down to business, I would like to remind you that any Australia citizen is welcome in Equilism. Either as a tourist, to participate in the games/competitions, or as a dual-citizen. Equilism Update 8 September 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: Westwind Population: 195 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism Special Notice Congratulations to Zorn Uzkul who is expecting a new baby son this week. Equilism wishes all the Uzkuls the best. General Government A review of the “Welcome to Equilism” thread is being looked at to help new members get to know the region of Equilism. This involves ideas like Equilism-in-ten-minutes, which is a brief introduction to the region. This will make it easier for nations/regions to see what being a member of Equilism involves and they will also know what we are about. Talk into where Equilism stands as a defender region carries on. One idea generated is to have a military liaison. This is like an ambassador, but talks to with the military of the region to co-ordinate the defense of other regions and forge a stronger link of defender regions. UN Resolutions - The UN Resolution “Orbital Space Safety Act”: passed in the region 6 - 3. - The UN Resolution “Individual Working Freedoms” is currently under consideration. Foreign There has been a wave of new applicants for an ambassador role, so a change in ambassadors could be happening in the near future. Military The E-Army has been active in Greater Antarctica and Zimbabwe. Defenders rock! Equilism General Assembly We would like to wish The Empty Star the entire best for his time as leader of the EGA. Propositions To get more members on the forum, the EGA and Immigration are discussing a new system to help get new members to the region onto the forum. If successful, it will boost activity on the forum. Due to spammers on the region headquarters message board, a strike system is being introduced. This will reduce spam and will hopefully give room for more important issues which need to be posted there. Unauthorized posters get: a notice for first offence, a warning for second offence (which may also go to their regional leader and/or NationStates moderators), and third offence results in permanent banning. Bar & Games Nation Creation Competition has got of to a start at last, but off-forum issues have slowed the judging. However, a list has been made of whom as been kicked to make up for this. We wish the best to those dealing with off-forum issues. Word games are still very popular. Caption Competition #24 will soon go under the vote. Hurry to cast yours before it’s too late! Somehow Tse’s avatars remind us all of Star Trek. I wonder how? Give us your first impressions by joining in. Role Play “A War Hammer 40K” role-play has started as the Sky Lord Chapter (wagger-tribe), Imperial Forces (The Cadian VIII, Thoughtful Ideas) and the Holy Inquisitor Kane (Tarricoe) stand against the Chaos Forces (Zorn). Will the Imperial Forces reach the struggling Sky Lords? Or will the Chaos Forces take the holy temple of the emperor? Only time will tell. In the last episode of “The Chaucery Combine Destroyed” we learned of a nuclear attack. What will be the reactions of the nuclear attack? Will there be retaliation strikes? Tune in to find out. Debates The crisis in Mexico is the major debate going on in Equilism at the moment. FarmerLaborers thinks that a non-violent revolution on the part of Obrador will be successful. However, Neo-Conservatism disagrees, saying that it will ruin the country. What are your views on current events? Let us know by adding them to the on-going discussions in the Debate threads. Quotes

[size=3]Equilism Update 22 September 2006[/size] President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: Westwind Population: 187 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism General Government Equilism-in-10-minutes: This will hopefully tell new regions about Equilism and what to do now they are here. Whether it is play the games or join the government. Another way that is being discussed is to give each government department a separate forum instead of being a sub-forum in “government departments.” This (along with the above) will help regions join the government easier. UN Resolutions - The UN Resolution “Repeal: Support Hemp Production” passed in the region 2 - 0. - The UN resolution “Repeal "Keep the World Disease-Free” passed in the region 2 - 0. - The UN Resolution “Individual Working Freedoms” passed in the region 6 – 2 - 1. - The UN Resolution “Clothing Supply Pact” failed in the region 1 - 6. Foreign Equilism found that it could not keep up relations with The Land of Kings and Emperors, because of new evidence that they were an invader region. Equilism is now, and will remain, a defender region. Military The ranks are being reviewed, as is our status as a defender region. Equilism is looking at having a loose defensive pact with other regions and with the military liaison to coordinate attacks against invader regions. Equilism General Assembly We would like to wish The Empty Star the entire best for the rest of his time in office Propositions EGA Resolution 1 passed this week. This will start a new scheme to get more people of Equilism on the forum, by sending welcome telegrams to new members with instructions on how to join the forum. This will increase activity levels and will make the vote of Equilism Prime Minister and President more representative of the entire region. Bar & Games The winner of Nation Creation Competition #3 is…the lands of wagger (wagger-tribe). Congratulations to wagger on his victory! Word games 14 is still going on. Caption Competition 4 was won by Thoughtful Ideas. He has now started Caption Competition 25 with is now under vote The Equilism Grand Prix is about to start with teams popping up everywhere. Equilism is looking forward to this new event. Other games, such as “Who Will Post Next” and “The Previous Avatar Reminds Me Of…” are still popular. Role Play The Warhammer RP started well, but has no gone silent. The last message we got from the planet was that Imperial Guard units have made the planet full and the Sky Lords are still holding the Temple of the Emperor. Add your forces to the battle and join the RP! In “The Chaucery Combine Destroyed” it has been revealed that there are 2 more nuclear threats out there. Where are they in Equilism? Will they be found before they are detonated? Time will tell. Join in to help save Equilism form this threat. Debates Tthe American mid-term elections are still under some heavy debates. According to FarmerLaborers, the Massachusetts elections are Socialists running against Democrats which he refers to as “heaven.” The reactions to the Pope have also been discussed, due to his speech which offended Muslims last week. What are your views on current events? Let us know by adding them to the on-going discussions in the Debate threads. Quotes QUOTE (farmlabours)

Equilism Update 9 October 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: Westwind Population: 172 Regional Power: Very High Forum Link: http://www.equilism.org/forum Equilism Wiki: http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Category:Equilism General Government Measures are currently under way to improve forum population and activity. Along with those, there is a move to reorganize the forum for ease of use…especially for newer members. UN Resolutions - The UN Resolution “Outlaw Necrophilia” was failure by tie with a vote of 7-7-0. General consensus, though, was that it was a silly proposal. - The UN Resolution “Freedom of Assembly” passed with a vote of 7-1-1. - The UN Resolution “Fair Sentencing Act” is currently under consideration, and likely to pass. The voting stands now at 6-0-0. Foreign Equilism is still trying to negotiate relations with Gatesville, but having little success. The British Overseas Territories and Equilism are presently in diplomatic dialogue. Exchange of embassies is on the table as is a proposed treaty. Treaty talks are also in process with some Defender organizations. Military The troops of Equilism have amazed regional citizens with their award-winning cookie bake-off. Just because troop movements are low at this time doesn’t mean they still don’t have to eat! Equilism General Assembly Oscillating Rhombi is the current speaker-of-the-month for the Equilism General Assembly. In keeping with tradition he has chosen his own title: 73|-| 1337 0|\|3. We can only assume this is some arcane mathematical function. Bar & Games Equilism had a right big scare when this message popped up on the board: “7 hours ago: The People's Commonwealth of FarmerLaborers ceased to exist.” Turns out, Fluffy was only napping…very deeply apparently. Random thoughts are circulating around Machiavelli and Cicero. Put your two sesterces on the table in the thread “Your Thoughts Here….” Votes are still being tabulated for Miss Equilism 2006. The folks at the Guinness Book called…they’re wondering how long we can hold out. In “Games & Fun” we have: the Equilism Arts Festival is about to kick off – and as always our friends are welcome to drop by for that excitement; Fantasy Baseball is knocking them out of the park; word games continue to be amazingly popular; Caption Contest #26 is close to wrapping up; and the People Profile Game is still moving along. Role Play Warhammer 40k has hit a lull. Is that the quiet before the storm? Tune in to find out. The latest results for the Equilism Grand Prix are in: Sunday 8 Octobre - Embassy Island Speedway, Embassy Island Individual outcome Tarricoe 1:58:21,07 Musselkanalia 1:58:41,84 Ellezelle 1:58:42,69 Sixonia 1:59:01,49 New Ixion 1:59:03,63 Nooterland 1:59:03,65 Tycholand 1:59:13,36 Defero Emprie 1:59:24,86 Tse Moana 1:59:42,59 Wagger-tribe 1:59:45,62 The Merlion 2:04:45,62 (crash) Oscillating Rhombi 2:04:45,62 (engine problems) Silvaienia 2:04:45,62 (engine problems) Seriphyn 2:04:45,62 (nonexistent nations) Team outcome Silvaienia - Tarricoe: 8 Wagger-tribe - Musselkanalia: 7 Nooterland - Tse Moana: 3 Tycholand - Oscillating Rhombi: 2 Debates As we get closer to 7 November the action heats up in the “2006 American Mid-Term Elections” thread. Heck, we love/hate politics here, so you can be assured of a lively discussion there! Believe it or not, there’s still a debate about homosexuality. Although, recently it has become a debate on theology, semantics and which messiah was which. Quotes

Equilism GiE Update 19 November 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: Tycholand Population: 66 Regional Power: Low Forum Link: http://z10.invisionfree.com/Equilism General Government The witch hunt in Imperial Equilism has now moved its tyrannical focus to the regime’s (ex) No.2, Chaucerin, much to the astonishment and dismay of members. Chaucerin was a valued contributor and long time member of the region; having committed no crime other than disagreeing with the despot Westwind, he found himself ousted and subject to investigation. We hope that this will serve as a wake-up call to those members of Imperial Equilism still loyal to Westwind.
The Government in Exile welcomes Chaucerin, and we wish him well in his battle against oppression. Earlier in the week, Westwind enacted a series of laws including the right to “freedom of speech”. This has been the cause of some discussion, as the Charter published last week lists any criticism of the Founder or Imperial Government, or disrespecting either, to be a “heresy”. The voting for Court Justices is currently underway, with no votes yet cast against the Chief Justice-to-be or his potential Assistants. Our new recruitment minister, Wagger-Tribe, has been making beneficial changes to the recruitment telegram, which should be tempting newbies in the near future. Work is just beginning on the University of Equilism, a resource that aims to cultivate new members for the heady heights of full ministerial responsibility, as well as recording and celebrating the history of our illustrious region. UN Resolutions Votes were 2-1-1 in favour of the Resolution “Repeal Public Domain”, which duly passed. More recently, the votes for the resolution “Unconventional Arms Accord” were 2-1-1 in favour again, although the resolution looks set to fail. Foreign The Foreign Affairs department is considering relations with more regions, and hopes to be of help to our newer friends. Conjoined Korea has been appointed as Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, and is quickly learning the intricacies taking scratching his superior’s back… Military Our soldiers are now back home following their numerous battlefield successes! Equilism is now considering our involvement with other regions’ militaries. The Intelligence department is also making progress, under the command of Minister Tarricoe Bar & Games This week, as the Bar approaches 1000 posts, the region is cultivating its own forum-based economy. Voting has now finished on Caption Competition 1; congratulations to the winner, Bogans and Boozers! The Equilism Auto Dealership has announced its opening sale! With our members already working on their bar tabs and now owing for cars as well, we’ll have suitably consumerist levels of debt in no time! The two word story – featuring such persons as Boris Yeltsin, JFK and Kim Jong Il – has finished its first sentence, and is already making more sense than Imperial Equilism’s decisions of late! Debates Mid Term Elections remains the most popular subject in the Open Debate Board. With no reaction yet from President Neo, the thread has now moved onto discussion of Robert Gates as Rumsfeld’s replacement. In other news, a nation under the control of Military and Intelligence Minister Tarricoe was found to have the most liberal attitude to public nudity :o , causing much amusement! ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________ Obituary The Sociocratic Commonwealth of Kertbeny We note with dismay the disappearance of Kertbeny, a long time Equilismer and great contributor to our region. Kertbeny became inactive following the coup in Equilism, having been censured and ejected by Westwind. After the 28 days passed, the game’s moderators removed his nation. We will miss you. ![]() ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ |

Equilism GiE Update 26 November 2006 President: Neo-Conservatism Prime Minister: Tycholand Population: 67 Regional Power: Low Forum Link: http://z10.invisionfree.com/Equilism General Government Chaucerin has been unanimously appointed cabinet advisor, a testament to his years of service to Equilism. We hope that he will be willing to take on a ministerial position following the next elections. The Equilism Commonwealth of Nations hopes that this display of forgiveness towards one who was once an enemy will contrast with the spite of Imperial Equilism. This week, Westwind named new No.2 Tse Moana as his successor, prompting some members to speculate about his future in Equilism. His rejection of Chaucerin for simple disagreement is another example of the arbitrary justice of Westwind’s Imperial Equilism. Prime Minister Tycholand has announced a regional census, and nations have been queuing up to list themselves as proud members. FarmerLaborers has been elected as Chief Justice of the court. Naivetry and Conjoined Korea have been elected as Associate Justices. Congratulations to the new court of Equilism! A Welcoming Committee has been set up by the Department of Immigration to begin the cultivation of new members. The United Nations Votes were 3-0-0 in favour of the Resolution “UN Fair Wage Convention”, which subsequently passed. It has also come to our attention that the Rineu UN Delegate Aldreania has endorsed every proposed resolution. We can only ask why… Foreign The Commonwealth is considering the implications of Prisoner’s Dilemma for International Relations, and our policy towards Imperial Equilism is being considered with this in mind. We are excited to have opened an Embassy in The North Pacific, and look forward to excellent relations with them in the future. Military The military command is considering alliances, which should bring the E-Army further successes in weeks to come! There was no military action this week, so we practised with toy soldiers instead… Bar & Games The Equilism Stock Exchange was officially opened, providing citizens of the commonwealth with another way to turn their Equilants into enjoyment! Our English residents have been drowning their sorrows in the Bar following their nation’s pounding by Australia in the Ashes (cricket, for those who don’t follow it) Some members have found themselves snowed in, much to the amusement of their companions in the Southern hemisphere. In England of course, it rained. Thanksgiving passed without considerable over-consumption, and political correctness was adhered to with wishes of “Happy Thursday” The second caption competition is up and running, with George Bush analysing “My Pet Goat”… Debates The sentencing of Saddam Hussein has replaced the Mid Term Elections as the most popular debate, with some relevant content to be found amongst the bizarre suggestions for punishments… The Armed Republic of Adeptus was found to be the most extreme nation in the region, much to his delight. Quotes On Saddam Hussein…
On the UN survey…
on anouther note i would like to say this is the 1st match so dont get all big because you won this one |
