Hello friend!

Welcome to the Lair!

» The Goal of The Lair: Money, Fame, and Friends «

Lair of the Dragon has a few things we focus on as a region, and as the title above says, it can be summed up as Money, Fame, and Friends.

> Money - There are several stats that we emphasize in-game, namely the Economy, Average Income, and Economic Output stats, alongside the cards minigame stat of International Artwork. We also have a little economy thing Linkin our Discord where gold coins are given to folks who complete various quests or do things for the region.

> Fame - Raiding and Diplomacy are what gets us fame. Raiding is part of the NationStates military gameplay, and there is a lot of information there that can't be covered in a beginner's guide, but the short of it is taking over regions using the World Assembly Delegacy to either post our tag, or to take the region for ourselves. Diplomacy is generally any interaction with another region in NationStates, whether it be to improve or worsen relations. There are some regions that we will almost always be antagonistic towards, but class and good taste are key to being a good villain.

> Friends - The last, and arguably most important, part of what Lair of the Dragon is about is Friends! Through the avenues of Roleplay in the Regional Message Board, hosting Cultural Events, sharing cool Dragon Media, or getting new people into the region and discord, we gain the most valuable treasure of all; Friendship!


» How to Achieve the Goals «

> How to achieve these goals - In order to achieve these goals, I've made some things to encourage doing things. The Paths are rewards for players doing things. The Hoarding Path is reward titles for people doing things to get money, and the Claw and Wing Paths are reward titles and powers for doing things to get Fame and Friends. The Clans are a way to generate competition, where I can poke all the people in the clans and give them a goal to reach.

There is no 'winning' or 'end state'. This website is literally older than MySpace and Facebook. However, you can absolutely set goals for yourself, and strive to achieve them. Examples include:
  • Have a lot of high stats in an area.

  • Collect NS Cards.

  • Roleplay.

  • Build a region/community.

  • Legislate in the World Assembly.

  • Lead an NS Military in raiding, defending, or both.

  • Write interesting issues.

  • Others that exist but I'm not coherent enough to write out.

For all those brand new to NationStates, there is a wonderful a guide written that will get you all the information you need to fly far into the realm of NationStates.

What is your favorite dish to cook, and what do you like about it?

I posted it on the discord but I'll post here too: Apple Dump Cake! Technically a baking thing and not necessarily cooking, but I have a recipe passed down to me in a book my grandma gave me. My favorite thing is the fact that it's just super easy to make. I put cinnamon and nutmeg in to give it more flavor, and once it's done I love to put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!!! So delicious and simple. It also pairs well with caramel syrup but I'm not a fan of caramel.

Question of the Day!
If you could have dinner with one person, real or fictional, who would it be and why?

How do you attack other nations

Chromia2 wrote:How do you attack other nations

So technically we don't attack other nations directly, but the region that other nations reside in. We use a second nation, join the World Assembly, and move to a target region and endorse one of our own so that we can take the Delegacy. We usually only target regions where taking the Delegacy would give us access to executive powers, so that we can then either rebrand the region with our theme, or eject people who aren't us so we can lock the region and keep it for ourselves.

Hii, vulpine neighbor here, wishing all dragons here a very wonderful day!

Shhh if I'm quiet they wont notice i exist-
