Even if that was true it doesn’t border Spire as it’s not part of the WARPP map

Lol, yeah. The flu's also going around in my school, so it's better that I got the cold. :P

Okay never mind

It solve nothing and it made a huge mess

Trashkanistan73 wrote:Breaking News

Erik Strongblood travels to North Sanistan and after much consideration has allowed North Sanistan to become the seventh state of Trashkanistan. With Abe Aba elected as governor and Boe Jomson elected as representative, it becomes official. The North Sanistan flag is lowered, and The Empire of Trashkanistan’s flag takes its spot.

As a side effect now the empire officially borders a WARRP nation, the Holy Spire. Will this raise problems? Emporer Erik Strongblood does not think so. He believes that is may be a new doorway to strengthen relations between our two nations. Will he be right? Find out next time on Trashkanistan world news.

If this is to build relations I'm willing to have it and maybe even organize trade, also as stigya and the others says, Sandstan isn't on the WARPP map.

And that's the end of the weekend, at least here. v_v I hope everyone had a good one! We have a new poll, and a new edition of The Frosty Bugle! It's all about finding your place in Wintreath, and should be a good read for people who aren't sure how to get into the community. :)

How to Find Your Place in Wintreath


Yeah! That's the spirit!

New to Wintreath? Looking to get into the community but aren't sure where to start? If this is you, check out our clubs and guilds! These are smaller groups within the community that can be easier to settle into, especially if you're still getting a fill for things. The difference between them is that guilds are government institutions that help run and grow some part of Wintreath, while clubs are more casual groups formed by Citizens that come together for a common purpose.

Membership in guilds and clubs are usually open to both Citizens and non-Citizens, but you will usually need to be on our Linkforums and LinkDiscord to take part in them. So what are you waiting for? Join a guild or a club and start exploring a part of Wintreath!

GUILDS

  • The Dungeon Masters is our gaming guild, which has played a huge role in transforming Wintreath into a real gaming community! As a member, you can lend your voice to conversations about what kind of games we want to put on, get help putting together your own events, and earn points and promotions for being a part of it all. To join, just Linkjoin our Discord and DM our Thane of Gaming Arenado or our Jarl of Culture Marzipan.

  • Rollspelskra is our roleplaying guild. Here you can nominate and vote on official monthly RP themes and start your own member RP at any time, knowing that the people in it know the basic rules about RP etiquette so the experience is the best it can be. If you'd like to join Rollspelskra, Linkjoin the forums, Linktake the etiquette exam, then Linkapply here!

  • The Hearthkeepers is our group of welcomers. As a Hearthkeeper, you help welcome new nations to the NationStates region, wish our members a happy birthday, put together NationStates RMB events, and more. It's all about keeping Wintreath the warm and friendly space that everyone knows it for! If you'd like to join, Linkjoin our Discord and DM Wintermoot.

CLUBS

  • The Howling Bells is Wintreath's furry club, which is so new that it's still being formed! If you're a furry, a furry ally, or just like the art (can you believe how much effort and detail artists put into it?), we hope it'll be a safe space for you to be yourself and talk stories, shows, art, issues, and more. For now, if you'd like to join, just Linkjoin the forums and Linkpost here!

FOUNDING A CLUB

  • If there's something else that you'd like to found a club around, that's alright too! If you're a Citizen, you can found a club as well. All you need to do is find 4 other Citizens to be part of it, write a charter detailing the purpose and structure of the club, and submit it to the legislature for final approval. The Linklink for The Howling Bells is a good template on how to do this.

If you're trying to figure out how to dip your toes into our community, these are some great ways to get started. It's where you'll find region-mates with the same interests who also want to bring them into the community. Give some a try! Hope to see you there!

Stay frosty,

Places to Go and Things to Do
It's a magical world, let's go exploring!

LinkHelp Solve the Murder at Spookyween!
What's Halloween without a weird murder mystery to solve? Courtesy of Arenado (North Gralend), this game brings the entire community together with the task of solving the murder of Mr. Spookyween himself! Directions for how to play are at the link, but you can join in at any time until the game closes and all is revealed at the end of October. Examine evidence, question the people present when the crime was committed, and get to the truth to solve...the murder at Spookyween!

LinkJoin the Frozen Hellscape Art Contest!
In honour of both Halloween and Wintreath's birthday, we're holding an art contest that combines both themes courtesy of Marzipan (New montith): Frozen Hellscape! To take part, just submit some kind of art that you've created that's either Halloween or winter-related (or you can try to get both in!). It can be a story, poem, drawing, comic, meme (oh god ;-;), photograph...any kind of art! To submit something, just post it at the link!

Write Spooky Stories Over in Simulacrum!
Speaking of writing, our new friends in Simulacrum are having a Spookypasta Writing Contest on their NationStates RMB! Write up a scary story, the spookier the better, and post it on the RMB! The winner will be named at the end of the month, and be featured on their WFE (top of the region page, and what a great idea!). And since we're friends, you can post on their RMB from your Wintreath nation, courtesy of our spiffy-new in-game embassy! Thanks to Nova! for the heads-up!

LinkBuild a Spooky Halloween Playlist!
Help us build a Halloween Bangers playlist by sending in up to 5 songs that are related to Halloween, monsters, or spooky stories! In a few weeks, the playlist will be put up on Spotify for everybody to enjoy! And what else would you listen to for Halloween festivities at the end of the month (which I hope includes the Z-Day event on NationStates)? To submit songs, just post them at the link or DM Marzipan on Discord!

LinkSignup for Werewolf 30: Your Worst Nightmare!
Named "Your Worst Nightmare" (and what better thame for coming into October?) and hosted by Ruguo, this game promises "simple roles, simple rules, and unbelievably stupid and intentionally frustrating mechanics in the most 'make fun of all the bad times' ways". This should especially be great for roleplayers, as it will require all players to play a role, but should still be a great game for new and old players alike. If you'd like to join up, check out the link for more information!

Be a Terrible Person on Cards Against Humanity Nights
Join us on Discord every Monday night at 9PM Eastern for your chance to win a game by being a rotten person! Played exactly like the card game, our game is hosted by Wintreath's Zaphyr bot, meaning the entire game is played on Discord. This month has a special treat too, as I'm told by Wuufu (Wuureath) that there's a Halloween pack that's only available this month, so let's check it out and have fun being terrible!

LinkCITIZENS: Weigh in on the Howling Bells Charter Act
As mentioned in the main article, the Howling Bells is Wintreath's presumptive furry club, but to become official it must be approved by the Landsraad. Read the Act and the charter that would found the club, and as a Citizen weigh in on it. Voting on the Act will start in several days, and as a Citizen you can cast your vote when it happens as well!

CITIZENS: Got what it takes to be Thane of Roleplay?
With the resignation of Svipjoth (read below), we're looking for somebody to fill her shoes and take on the mantle of Thane of Roleplay! This means managing roleplay affairs, including running our RP guild, Rollspelksra, as well as taking part in Cabinet discussions and collaborating with the rest of the Ministry of Culture on events. If you believe this could be you, DM Marzipan on Discord!


What's Happening Now
Wintreath News and Happenings

LinkSvipjoth Steps Down from Government
Best known as the founder of Rollspelskra, Svipjoth announced that she'll be stepping down from her roles as Thane of Roleplay and Chancellor of the Landsraad to focus on her life offline and on her studies. In her almost-year as part of the government of Wintreath, Svip has moved mountains and made the dream of a revived and active RP guild into a reality. Fortunately she plans to remain as part of the community, for which we are very thankful, but otherwise we wish her the best in all she's doing!

LinkWhat happens when the Chancellor resigns?
Svipjoth's resignation led to a brief discussion of what happens when the Chancellor resigns, which isn't explained in the Landsraad's procedural rules. Currently, Arenado (North Gralend) is holding the position as Vice-Chancellor, and the plan is to codify that the Vice-Chancellor becomes the Chancellor as part of the Procedural Rules Update Act, which is discussed in the prior section.

Ohai. I decided to lurk NS today and noticed that there was a noticeable Commend in the WA that popped up. Considering the negative history and bad blood between Tim (and really Spiritus overall mostly) and our region, I just had to pop on and toss a vote in.

For folks who don't know, Tim has definitely accomplished a lot for his time on Nationstates, but he's also one of those folks who has never had good words about this region and would easily speak ill of Wintreath if it ever came up in a conversation, and is one of those folks who would be perfectly content if this region was destroyed.

Call it personal if you will, but I'm totally okay voting against someone like that being commended regardless of his accomplishments. And even if he still does get commended, I'll at least be content knowing that I showed that I didn't support someone like that.

I too voted against, though I wasn't aware of that particular history. My thought is that accomplishing a lot doesn't automatically mean that those accomplishments are good or worth praise. As such I eye commendations in general with a great deal of scrutiny.

Good evening ^-^ It's late and I should be asleep, but I took a nap earlier so...how is everyone?

It all started when I left Spiritus and eventually founded Wintreath...that was almost 9 years ago to the day, and the history never got any better from there. :P

In fairness, it's going to pass regardless of what our vote is...he is a popular player, and the Security Council often rewards popularity. It is what it is. I just personally don't think it's somebody that we as a region should be helping to sing the praises of, that's all. It's certainly not a favor that would be returned.
