All right then *slathers hands in marmite*, if I'm going down I'm taking you down with me. Marmite is the stuff of hell.

Just make sure that white separates the two, so the red and blue don't butt up against one another directly. Alternatively, you could use deeper and/or darker shades in order to provide a more "mature" feel.

You're right, I think the problem was that they were right next to each other. I'm gonna keep fiddling around with it.

Also, Happy Easter! (If you celebrate it)

*balks at the very notion and backs off*

Unfortunately, I am acquainted with the stuff. Or at least "vegimite," from a couple of Australians I encountered once at a hostel. How would you say vegimite and marmite are different, if at all? A brief google search makes me think it may just be the British version of the other.

And yes, Happy Easter. I leave for the family get-together shortly.

As far as I'm aware, it was a British thing (as Marmite), and spread to other countries as "vegimite"

Yeah, vegemite originated as an Australian rip-off of the British marmite in WW1. Apparently they taste different. To me, they're just equally groce.

We were planning on waiting until Monday to tell everyone this however I want to let everyone know that the reason Mysterious wonder has been banjected from the region is due to this dispatch

NS I Am Sorry!

by Crystalsummer

Dear Nationstates, and the gaming community,

My name is Crystalaummer. I am the founder of The Free Nations Region. I have a huge confession to make. I went by the name Wonder Woman, and Mysterious Wonder. While I am not proud to admit this, I want to say I did not commit any malicious behavior. Wonder Woman was created back in August of 2017. Originally created as a role playing nation, it became even more when I got involved with the TEP community.
I played 2 nations and I kept them separate. I went completely inactive in my Crystalsummer identity, when I became Wonder Woman.
All my actions were exclusively in-character, not out-of-character. I did not make any OOC friends, I did not catfish anyone. I put 100% effort into my time in TEP. When I was the Minister of Immigration, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and an Arbiter, I did not try to coup the region. I worked all my extra time to benefit the TEP community, and give back to a region that gave me so much. On April 19, 2019, I decided that I would hide no longer. While I disappointed a lot of people, I want to say I am truly sorry for hiding who I really was. I have informed TEP and apologized for doing this, and I was told to quietly resign as a citizen of TEP or they will make this whole thing public. The fact that they allowed me to quietly resign as TEP citizen, without making this whole thing public, is because they did not deem me as an OOC threat. Because I am not. I did not make any OOC friends using Wonder Woman, I only vaguely alluded to being a college student studying Chemistry (which I am!)

I never catfished, or committed any malicious activity. I played the character and left it at that.
And Wonder Woman is a female Superhero from Marvel named Wonder Woman. I never said I was a girl in real life, but even if I said that, I don’t catfish, look for boyfriend, or anything shady. I NEVER befriended the same person with 2 identities (WonderWoman and Crystalsummer) to manipulate them. So no one was OOC manipulated by me.I did not join a region as a citizen using both WW and Crystalsummer.
I tried keeping both nation identities as separate as possible. For example, I used WonderWoman exclusively for regions. I never got citizenship for both WW and CrystalSummer in any 1 region.
The only “bad” OOC thing I have done, is play NS as a girl, but, in my opinion, GENDER does not matter. I never sought out boys or catfished boys.
I played as a Marvel Female Superhero, and acted entirely in-character, I didn’t commit malicious activity. I played the character and left it at that.
So please do not believe any OOC-related smear campaigns. Many people have infiltrated GCRs using a 2nd identity (some of them using female identities,) to try to coup that GCR. They got forgiven, without their reputations OOC ruined. I want you guys to know, I infiltrated a GCR using a 2nd identity, but I did not do anything malicious. I did not even plan to coup that GCR, nor did I want to. I earned my ranks ethically, and legitimately. The ONLY reason I used a 2nd identity to join that GCR, TEP, was because I was worried that my reputation was destroyed, because Defenders banned me from their Libcord Discord Server for hanging out with Raiders. I thought everyone hated me because of the Libcord-ban scenario, and I wanted to get involved in TEP but was afraid with my broken reputation, I’d be unable to do anything. I now understand that I was wrong, because I could have gotten the same ranks and positions, with my Crystalsummer identity. Now I understand that, it did not matter anywhere, that I had a bad reputation with Defenders for associating with Raiders, because TEP and other regions won’t care.
I apologize for my foolish mistake, and hope you forgive me, and accept me as both the Crystalsummer and WonderWoman nations. I mean no harm and I didn’t hurt anyone, since I didn’t make OOC friends using my other Wonder Woman account, I just did in-character government stuff. My last thing is this, I do want to thank all of the friends that I did make in SP, and TEP! Thank you for the opportunity I did have, and I want to say again I am sorry about I did. Please forgive me, and I hope someday I’ll be accepted in the community.

Thank you for your attention!

Read dispatch


along with the evidence provided by the Emergency Electoral Council (EEC) proving that Mysterious wonder is Crystalsummer. Which is a nation that was banjected during Densaner administration in which a coup was attempted. With these shocking turn of events, I believe that a Special Election should take place as soon as the EEC has an election date is decided.

Until elections candidates are welcome to announce there intent to run for office!

Also I hope everyone had a Happy Easter!(:

I am in full concurrence with our delegate. Mysterious wonder rightfully stands disgraced. The fetid rule of that corrupt usurper is now at an end. Let us now move our great region forward, starting with the election of a new delegate. 🗳

Well.

I knew they were a bit of an odd duck, but I can barely follow the thread in all that.

I remember Crystalsummer being mentioned a bit back, and talk of them being banned. Sometime I'll have to find out the backstory to all of this.

Just glad the long game wasn't a raid.

Panther wrote:Just glad the long game wasn't a raid.

Raiders are more honest. The fact is that Crystalsummer tried this crap about a year ago. Once I found out the backstory I kicked him and his underlings to the kerb.

Crystalsummer has been going around the game masquerading to raiders, defenders et al as being someone / something they aren’t.

Becoming delegate of SP and lying by omission about his history is but one example of his serial dishonesty in NS.

I will not be a candidate in the election. Good luck to all those who choose to run and serve our region.

Hah, indeed...

Bizarre behavior. I suppose a game like this breeds such things. What's up with their obsession with this region?

Also, in the spirit of the moment, I have a confession as well:

House at Pooh Corner is my puppet, a nation of no consequence or relevance, which I brought over to this region briefly in the interest of making a dumb sight-gag. I am also all of the other nations in that region. My only regret is that I did not make a fancy dispatch to announce this.

You monster! 😦

He initially failed, that’s why he came back.

I don’t buy it. His resignation and supposed confession came about because he slipped up and got caught, not because of any crisis of his non existent conscience.

That is not only what has been mentioned thus far being true, but his penchant for betraying and back-stabbing those who offered him friendship, help, and advice during his tenure in NS.

I slaved all day over this revised hot government statement and ill be damned if I let it go to waste

Hello Everyone,

The last few days have been quite turbulent for South Pacific after the resignation of WA Delegate Mysterious wonder. As of now, Vice Delegate Holly United has assumed the position of Delegate and will retain the current cabinet until the official elections in June, or the Emergency Electoral Council comes to a decision for emergency elections, whichever comes first.

Many of you may not be aware of what precisely happened, and we want to make you aware of the facts we have currently. Mysterious wonder came to South Pacific in a turbulent time when the current population showed a level of apathy toward the government. She was able to win a mostly uncontested election and has greatly grown the region in her time here, much to our benefit. She also maintained a government position in The East Pacific during this time. However, he recently exposed that he was living under an assumed identity in Nationstates. Mysterious Wonder, through work of defender groups and The East Pacific was found out to be a different persona of a nation known as Crystalsummer. This was exposed, in part, because Mysterious Wonder had resigned her WA status here in South Pacific to take part in a military operation elsewhere in Nationstates. This was confirmed through multiple means including dating a coordinated WA status back at least 2 years among other methods and eventually confirmed by Crystalsummer herself on the forum on Sunday in an apology for the fallout caused in The East Pacific.

For those unaware of South Pacific History, approximately 1 year ago, Crystalsummer, using the puppet William T Sherman, plotted and attempted to stage a coup against Densaner and the rightfully elected government of this region. They were banned from the region for this reason. Several attempts by Crystalsummer to open diplomatic ties with the region have since been rejected by the current administration. Crystalsummer used the Mysterious wonder/Wonder woman persona he had been cultivating in The East Pacific to deceive South Pacific, circumvent the ban and gain favor. Independent checks by The lepearchauns and defender groups have cleared Vice Delegate Holly United of any wrongdoing and will continue with other administration members.

For these reasons, Mysterious wonder has been banned from South Pacific.

Over the coming days, the ECC will determine the validity of the current government as appointed by Crystalsummer, though initial investigations indicate they are clear of any wrongdoing. In either case, elections are coming within the next month to month and a half and we encourage discussion on this topic and any others and for any interested nations to declare their intent, either for official or special elections upcoming.

Thank you for your patience,
Sincerely,
The government of South Pacific

Full support of all purges and witch hunts.

We propose renaming the Emergency Electoral Council to the more resonant "Committee of Public Safety," and investing in them broad, sweeping and unchecked powers of investigation into any and all citizens' loyalty and fealty.

Raise the scaffolds and welcome the arrival of Madame La Guillotine as she ushers in a new golden age cloaked in the sanguine robes of a reign of terror.

Robespierre wrote:We must smother the internal and external enemies of the Republic or perish with it; now in this situation, the first maxim of your policy ought to be to lead the people by reason and the people's enemies by terror.

Virtue, without which terror is destructive; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is only justice prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue.
