Forest Regional Message Board

Anxious and Kevin wrote:I am the current ambassador for Conch Kingdom, which is a sister region of Ridgefield as both are in the Augustin Alliance. I would highly recommend you all vote yes on this. Ridgefield is a smaller region at the moment, but from the interactions I've had with some of their members they seem like a lovely little group. Haymarket/LGB being a climate activist IRL is certainly in line with our ethos and focus, and I'm excited at the prospect of strengthening our ties to the Augustin Alliance. That's all I really have to say.

Vote yes!

I feel like I should to go ahead and add in my say about Ridgefield even though I don’t really talk a whole lot here. My WA nation is a long time resident in Conch Kingdom (since 2016). Throughout the years I have had several interactions with Ridgefield residents through both discord and alliance events. I will also gladly report that they are friendly and welcoming based on our interactions.

Thank you. I think the worst of the storms where I am are over for tonight, but there are still several going on for the rest of the night. Please stay safe and weather aware if you are in the path of storms tonight and tomorrow.

Well, they certainly are... It appears however that my deck value has doubled in size from 150 something to 295... Also for some reason I am no longer in the top 3,000 or so in the world. I am now 246th for international artwork. I don't know how or what I did to make [Violet] smile upon me stats wise from the errors recently, but I am certainly not complaining.

How do I join the roleplay and map? I'm interested in joining Forest's community.

Here in Forest we aren't exactly an active roleplay region, you could join the discord for possible roleplay. I believe there is some roleplay in there.

If you want to get onto the map Roless would be your guy, there is also a link on how to join the regional map in the world factbook entry.

Edit: Glad to have you here as well!

Though I do not normally pay much attention to Security Council legislation (I prefer the policy-focused GA over the gameplay focus of the SC), I urge everyone to vote against the current SC injunction. I myself supported it initially, and it certainly sounds positive with no wider context, but apparently this injunction was proposed by a Defender force who then proceeded to ignore the will of the native nations and the region's leader, who has since revoked their endorsement.

More info can be found here: viewtopic.php?p=41576659&sid=99205a80b48c1580dc9650c12b52b913#p41576659

Again, though I do not normally care much about R/D and SC happenings, I do not like subterfuge, especially when it relies on popular good wishes for the liberation of a raided region to circumvent the will of the natives and launch a coup d'état.

Thank you to Ridgefield for informing me of this, and good luck on your embassy proposal! You're proving a useful and benevolent ally already!

Why We Should Condemn The Communist Bloc
By Orcuo


It Would Be Really Funny

Let’s get the obvious one out of the way; it would be extremely hilarious to condemn TCB. Why? Simple. Because Condemning them would irreversibly change their reputation towards a more negative light, effectively screwing them over. That is where the funnies would come from. My fellow sadists agree that messing over other people for the fun of it is very humorous. Especially messing with the reputation of a big region (like TCB) would undoubtedly induce giggles across the globe.



Too Many Commies

I hate commies, you hate commies, we all hate commies. Unfortunately TCB is filled with a lot of them. Nine out of seven researchers agree that the world was better off without communism, that is why it is important that we stop the spread of it; and the only way we can stop communism is by Condemning TCB. Then, and only then, can freedom and democracy be achieved.


They’re Brainwashing Our Children

TCB is inherently left-wing. As such, it means that they are brainwashing our children. Filling their brains with dangerous ideas, such as health care and public education. It gives me the chills just thinking about it. Allowing them to continue on could spell disaster for the future. However, if we Condemn them now then their still may be hope that the next generation won’t be doomed.


They Caused Global Warming

Little known fact, but TCB has an air force. This Air Force is rather large, and contributes towards global carbon emissions. This means that TCB is indirectly directly responsible for global warming. Condemning then is the only repercussion that would be satisfactory.


I Said So

Let’s face it, I am the most epic nation ever. So when I say you should do something, you should probably do it. I am so cool in fact, that I posted a definitely real gif of definitely me walking away from a definite explosion, definitely not looking back at it. That is how awesome I am. And if you believe I am awesome (voluntarily or otherwise), you’ll support my notion to Condemn The Communist Block.

Sounds good to me. How does citizenship work here?
