Alright, we're about ready to finalize an issue

((Image is an edit by East Malaysia. I think it looks dignified and smart!)

Here's what I have so far:

- One of the posts of Penndale's entertainment posts
- Pack's humorous comic
- Warre's interview with DFD
- Alejandro's post regarding the Provost elections (since it's already been sorted out, it's a bit outdated... though I'd like to keep up free speech in the papers. I'll talk this over with EM)
- OP-ED with TAoD
- Tutchone's Pacific Theater Comic

Here's what's going to be put in:
- I'll do a general introduction / summary
- EM is doing a section, I believe
- That section on how to get an embassy in TEP

What we could use / what I hope to see
- I've asked others to write stuff about the paper... would people be willing to write something short?
- We could use something on roleplay events in TEP as well. Doesn't have to be all-inclusive, but blurbs here and there would be good.
- I'd also like to have a "country profile" every issue in TEP. Just a few paragraphs explaining a TEP nation by its roleplayer. I had Veerilion in mind, but I'll talk to him about it.
- Maybe a comment from a Magister regarding a decision being made in the Magisterium?


Let's try to finalize everything by June 24th (Thursday). By then, EM and I will establish this issue and get it out there!

But, if you would like to write something, don't be shy and submit it! We're still open to sections!

Ahah, I like the role-play blurbs part. It's about time we do a simple summary column about the role-play events in TEP for all citizens to see, with an added link to the actual role-play thread. It's a good service for those who don't have the time to view them all, and it'll help bring life to old events as well.

The country profile is sweet too. We could have something like a swimsuit model (or surfer boy, or some 'thing' with indefinite gender, or some kind of rapidly mutating swarm of aliens a'la Packilvania, it's your call) cover-of-the-month. Preferably with a nice accompanying image.

I agree! Y00k, you want to do something along those lines for this issue?

Cool - I'll get on the intro and maybe write something else to tie up some loose ends!

*grins*

Check out some of the old posts in our embassies in other regions. Those "blurbs" used to be the focal point of our bimonthly embassy reports. ;)

Ah, then all the better for us to re-implement that.

Laugh hard. Run fast. Be kind.
I think the middle of next week is more than likely the exact deadline.

Also I believe I should write a section on my changes to the embassy section.

Alright, both ideas work for me! We'll call it our July Issue, perhaps?

We’re back!

It’s been a long winter of discontent as far as The East Pacific’s newspaper is concerned. Or maybe it’s the spring of discontent? Or maybe discontent isn’t the right word. Perhaps a better word is hiatus. Yes! Just a temporary hiatus, you know, regrouping and the likes, putting part A into box A and what not, making sure we’re all clicking on four… no, eight! Yes, eight cylinders, but no more than eight, because that’d just be overkill. But heck, if we’re going to talk about cars, I’ll be sure to post a follow-up for next issue. As for right now, you probably want to know what’s happening in The East Pacific. You don't? Too bad, and we'll maybe saw your arms off if you don't! Oh wait... you do? Well that's more like it! Let's read on!

TEP in general has undergone a few changes recently! Right off the bat our newspaper has received a bit of a face-lift! If you remember our last issue, back in December, it was a Christmas issue with a crazy little rendition of a famous Christmas poem, along with some current events both in the region and in our roleplay speckled in and around the issue, ending with a humor section and a little bit about how to set up an embassy in our hallowed halls. This issue is noticeably different! For one, it’s immediately better in that it’s written by multiple authors, hence multiple opinions and various different sections, teeming with raw, unedited thoughts brought to you by citizens from all walks of life in our region. We’re down with the free speech. But, there’s more, much more! And, if you act now, I’ll take 1,000 off the price right now, no money down! Bad credit? No credit? No problem! But I digress. We have a new Magisterium, full of a few new faces as they debate over a few issues here and there. We also have a new Conclave, approved by our Magisterium, and these Arbiters of The East Pacific are currently hashing out Standing Orders in the hopes of drumming up some protocol for trials and interpreting laws, you know, because we’re all about trying hard criminals! Well… not really. We’re actually a friendly bunch, a friendly bunch that talk on the regional message board as well as the off-site forum, and pretty much get along OR ELSE!! Nah. We’re allowed to get ticked at one another, of course. But in general, we have the sense of a community. And you can’t have community with out unity! Yuk yuk yuk…

And for something completely different, let’s venture into what’s occurring in and around The East Pacific roleplay, the heart of the region! And if that’s the heart… well… I guess that would make the Conclave the prefrontal cortex, the spum the various viruses and bacteria, and the WA voting the voice of the region. Backing up again, it’s probably better to remain off course instead of take the scenic route. Let’s see… we’ve had the East Pacific Treaty Organization resume talks and attempt to form a United Nations among our nations, but lo! There is another group assembling, and those pesky vulpines are at the heart of it! The vile vulpine leader has been arrested and is awaiting transfer to prison as well, which allowed juuust enough leeway to create such an alliance! Oddly enough, though, we have interesting goings-on in the South Pole, where people there are in dire straits. Heck, we’ve even had a helicopter crash, which killed off a prominent character in our roleplay! Oh yeah, and let’s not forget that cave that has boiling basalt (it DOES exist, I say!) that seems to have some odd creatures about around it. You just know something is going down there… though I have to admit, it might not be as crazy as our insane asylum, where our “lovable” characters lose their minds! Ah, and I nearly forgot. You may have heard of 20,000 leagues under the sea. Well, in TEP, we have a Sealab, but it’s not that deep. Still, divers are finding some pretty weird crap down there! Can you believe a mysterious modern city that appears to have been abruptly placed under the ocean? Well you better. For the realists, we have a ‘real-life’ sixteenth century Europe roleplay! And finally… mechs in TEP? Oh yes, my friend. We’re covering all bases in roleplay these days. And we are always welcoming more new members into the fold! So, be bold, join up, post in a thread, and explode things!

So please enjoy this issue and all that it has to offer! Egads! It’s another TEP issue, and it’s just about to begin!

Want an Embassy in TEP?
The East Pacific is looking to get more connected on an NS-worldly spectrum. We currently have 26 active embassies, and would be honored if your region would consider setting up an embassy on our forum. Here's how it works:

Go to the forum here, and post a message with the topic title being your region's name. In that topic, please include your region's name, a link to your forums, approximate number of nations in your region (optional), and a potential ambassador (this may be changed - we understand selecting ambassadors may take time).

We will then review your request shortly. Once the request has been reviewed and passed, a sub-forum will be created for your region's representation and news. The address will be posted as a reply in this thread, and your ambassador may begin posting immediately!

Also, here is the link to TEP's main forum index page.

Good news everyone! Our newspaper edition is over! And if you read this in the professor's voice, you must post in this topic!

Until we meet again

my submission :)


Foreign Affairs & TEP Newspaper
by East Malaysia

The Embassy Authority, once a lifeless part of TEP, has been revived in association with TEP Newspaper. Clearly you can't have one without the other and I would like to thank Todd McCloud for his dedication to the newspaper and helping me out when I was just starting to take office.

I kicked off my campaign for foreign affairs by visiting every region we have connections with. Sadly during that long tedious task of visiting well over 30 or so (lost count) different forums, I had to give a few warnings during my reevaluation and sadly cut regions with now inactive forums without notice. I do have to thank all the regions I visited for the warm welcome once again.

Now you may wonder what this means as in new rules rule and it is simple and easy actually:

*A warning of embassy closure will be issued after 3 months of no contact. The easiest way to avoid this is to post sometime before 3 months. It does not even have to be an update; a friendly "hello" works fine but a microupdate could be attached ;) .*

Oh look! That was the rule. Imagine that! XD. Past that, you will see more of me, or hopefully someone else also that is helping with posting the updates.

I would like to end my little statement with my goals for TEP foreign affairs with being the Secretary of the Embassy Authority. I do not plan to just manage embassies, help out with the updates, or wait for regions to come to us. I plan to open relations with other active regions of NS and to continue to grow our foreign affairs as if TEP was a user-created region.
