“Oh look, a lovely harmless grass snake <3” “That’s a Boomslang.” I was this close to dying today

Casually almost dies. Relatable

Hey Wintreath! I hope everyone had a great weekend...for me after a relaxing Saturday, I spent Sunday getting caught up on chores. Nothing related to Wintreath, sadly, but I have some thoughts and ideas I'd like to try to make happen eventually.

Actually, there is one idea I'd like to bring up...would anyone be interested in discussing specific issues on our off-site forums? I thought maybe we could do one a week, with a poll for which answer people would choose and some discussion on why they would go that route. I feel like that'd be hard to do here on the region page, but with the forums where you could have a topic for each issue, it'd work out. What do you guys think?

We have some new and returning nations that joined over the weekend, too! Welcome to Svanholm, Vietnam National Front, Stanistanistan, Bibizaria, Landwarden, Ruby Flower Las Vegas, Freezerville, Michalska Republika Demokratyczna, Vinland Kasheer, Nova caxias, Lumarus, Eneez, Preusssisches Volksreich, Und Norancess, The Rigard Mil, and NovaStarr. Wow, that's a lot of nations! I'm glad that each of you joined up with us! If you feel comfortable doing so, please introduce yourself and let us know what made you decide to join Wintreath. We'd love to hear from you. :)

lol, TRR should make you ambassador to something if they haven't already. You're good at posting news and information to other regions. :P

I'm a little curious though, why was your heart so set on having the most disliked wonders? NS being the popularity contest that it is, it's almost unheard of for someone to want anything they do to be the most disliked.

Thanks for letting us know! I'm glad things are booming in your nation even though the conditions are harsh :)

Wintermoot How was the novel? I might have to check it out and make space on my shelf.

Don't worry about it, we all get busy and everything's just on our own time. I hope you're enjoying Wintreath when you have time. :)

Actually, it was an computer visual novel called Requiescence that's about your character delving into an old, corrupted cathedral to discover the secrets your uncle alluded to before he died under mysterious circumstances. Along the way you meet others who are there for their own purposes, and of course some of those are potential love interests depending on your choices. It's a fun plot and the writing is where the game is strongest, but the visuals are kinda basic. Mostly generic background scenes and characters that seem to be made from the same body models...they're supposed to be 19 to 34 years old, but they all look like they're about 20. Honestly not sure if it's worth the $10 on Steam...maybe if it's on sale? Like I said, the writing is good but I've read similar in free stories and fanfiction.

That being said, this game came out in 2016 and the people behind it have put out some newer games...might try one of those to see if the promise of the writing is better realized. Especially the games involving vampires :D

Sorry if that was a longer answer than you were looking for. Poor Dawcreek had to listen to my extended thoughts about the game the other night. :P

Is there some revival of that series happening? I understand it was written awhile back, but suddenly I'm constantly hearing references to it.

You didn't also casually almost die, did you? :(

Aw, thank you!

And as for your question: why not? I knew I wasn’t going to get the most liked, nor most impressive, nor controversial, nor etc. So I settled with the most plausible opinion. Who cares if it means my Wonder is the most disliked? An achievement is an achievement nonetheless!

A couple weeks ago i nearly choked to death. My face was really red, and my rivs were dying, and when i stopped choking, the first words i said in a rhaspy voice were "kill yourself" then laughed

NovaStarr wrote:Casually almost dies. Relatable

Relatable? That defines my life.
Yall, I’m a magnet for near death experiences. I’ve activated a rattlesnake that was sitting a few feet away from me. I’ve nearly killed myself numerous times. Almost getting hit by a car, a bus, strangling myself with the cords on blinds, clotheslined myself while riding my bike at a very dangerous speed, etc… you name it. I’ve probably done it to myself.

Hi, I am Lumarus! I am quite a new country, so if anyone has any tips, please share them with me!

Yeah almost getting bitten by highly venomous snakes is just an average Monday at this point

a tip? sure.

Hey everyone! I read that yesterday's eclipse was the last one for 17 years in the US, so I hope that anyone in the path of it enjoyed it. It was just a partial eclipse where I live, so the sunshine looked weaker but that's it. We have a few people in Wintreath that posted some awesome pictures on the Discord, if anyone would like to join up and see them! :)

We've had some new nations join us! Welcome to Kerot, New Bechuanaland, and Brovin. I'm glad you joined up with us! If you feel comfortable doing so, please introduce yourself and let us know why you decided to join. We'd love to hear from you. :)

Haha! I can't argue with that logic. Maybe I'm too used to how NationStates usually goes. Sorry it didn't work out in this case though...it's sad to see such a well-thought plan foiled

At least you kept your sense of humour about it? I'm not sure I'd be laughing right after almost choking to death, but I can be a stick in the mud sometimes. :P

Yikes...that reminds me, I'm told I almost strangled on blind cords with I was very young. Apparently I was between my parents on the coach while they were watching a movie, and they were so into the movie they didn't notice I was strangling until I was blue. If they hadn't noticed for a minute or two longer I probably wouldn't be here. v_v

Lumarus wrote:Hi, I am Lumarus! I am quite a new country, so if anyone has any tips, please share them with me!

Welcome again! I suppose right now my advice is more general...take some time to get settled in, get some idea of what you want to do in NationStates and in our region, and then experiment to figure out what you really want to do. And of course, let us know if you have any questions. We're here for you! :)

This concerns me greatly. Should I be writing out a eulogy just in case? v_v

I will try my best.

Yall have the same taste in humor as I do. I’ve never made a better decision than to be in this region. It’s great and I feel quite included.

Not related, but has anyone here played or seen someone play the game “Helldivers”? It’s a game all about spreading democracy throughout the universe. It’s so cringey.

Question when is more cards comeing out?

Good evening, Wintreath! As ambassador, I am pleased to present the 4th edition of The Winter Gazette, for your reading pleasure :)

Enjoy!

Hi everyone! I just wrote a new factbook about my country called, "Solondia's Beverage of Choice". If anyone wants to read it let me know what you think of it! I'm trying to improve my writing skills.

Great job! I enjoyed reading it and see have no error.

Can I just say that it’s incredibly stupid that when I pass a law based on my morals and what I think is right, for the good of my country and its citizens, IT DROPS MY CIVIL RIGHTS TO BELOW AVERAGE?!? HOW DOES BANNING ALCOHOL AND DRUGS RUIN MY COUNTRY?!?

I liked it a lot! Let us know if you write more! A few days ago I wrote my first factbook and discovered how much fun they are both to create and to read.

Hi everyone! How is it going? I haven't been very active lately because I started an internship in a museum in my city. It's nice but so tiring, I'm doing nothing but working and sleeping... I hope I get used to it
