Albion


Greetings all! This is Seven Deaths, Chief Knight of Albion, inviting you to our Halloween Festival starting on October 26th and running until the 31st. Come and take part in all the wonderful festivities! We have spam games! We have a scary story writing competition! We have a Last Nation Standing competition where, if you lose, you die!

So, seriously, we’re doing a lot of cool shit. Stop by and partake with us! Just be careful because I may have forgotten to feed the werewolves… Oh well, listen to this song to get into the mood!

I see you underwent a trim.

My apologies for the past inactivity. I have now enclosed the series of diplomatic missives sent in the past months:

7-5, Deputy Esquire

-There is now an Albion Diplomatic Feed! It is here to inform you of all updates as they happen, no more waiting around for long-winded Foreign Updates! (But we’ll still be doing those in some capacity, don’t worry.)

NOTE: AS THE FORMAT OF TEP DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS, DIPLOMATIC FEEDS SHALL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED AND SHALL BE CONSIDERED NORMAL, ALBEIT SHORTER DIPLOMATIC MISSIVES.

-Chief Knight Seven Deaths, in a night of merry cavorting, recorded himself singing karaoke with friends in a bar. It was all the rage in our Town Square, going so far as to influence one crazy local to get others to follow suit. What far reaching effects will this have? Will Albion become a region of crazed, half-drunk karaoke singers? Chief Knight Seven Deaths has already been back to the bar, maybe we’ll soon see all the local haunts of every Albioneer?

-Amongst other things our Chief Knight has been up to, he has been updating and motivating the region at large real horror show.
(for those who don’t dig on “A Clockwork Orange”, that basically means he’s doing it a lot and well.)

-Albion once experimented with the well-known Mixlr internet radio app. But now our Round Table has an official broadcast that was met with some success!
Check it out here: http://mixlr.com/bert862/showreel/radio-albion-2-interview-with-calvin-od-fairy/

-Do you like Epic Dark Fantasy? How about Roleplay? How about people named “Plaguelord”?
If you answered yes to all, or at the very least two, of those things: check out our very well written RP “Demesne”.
I’d explain it, but you don’t have to take my word for it!
http://w11.zetaboards.com/The_Realm_of_Albion/forum/6003305/

-GC By-Elections have been held. Christopher Bishop & Mysty Saxton ran against each other. Mysty won out and everyone felt good for Mysty!
-Albion’s Halloween Festivities were/are a big success. If you missed out, don’t worry! We can scare you into submission next year with our audio introductions and well-crafted RPs.

-The previously mentioned Demesne roleplay is still going strong. Seriously, skim it if you haven’t already. Super well-made!

-There is a 12th Amendment to Shire Law III allowing City-States in Albion to nominate A Chief Knight (and Vice Knight!). How this will affect the political intrigue of the region is still up for debate as this news is so fresh it hasn’t even been signed into extra-official law yet! (as of this date)

-Tumultuous times in Albion! The family of Struenhof has decided to vacate the Realm! How will the power-vacuum of this notable family be filled? Who will step up to fill the shoes that the Struenhofs have left unfilled and hanging from power lines in the street? Only time will tell.

-In better news, Albion City-State Brightwall is in the midst of choosing a new revolutionary council AND sheriff! Some have stepped up to the role, others needed to be goaded into it. Why not stop by and usurp some of that delicious power for yourself? Or enact meaningful reform and legislation? Either way, we’d love to see you!

-Local Curmudgeon 7-5 has been caught singing for the Queen of Albion!

-Will anyone step up to out-sing said local curmudgeon and crooner? Maybe Seven Deaths, who has many karaoke songs under his belt? Or some unforeseeable newcomer, riding into town without a name or backstory? Maybe it will be someone reading this?

-A new day in Albion, folks! As of Dec. 3rd the very first Chief/Vice Knight elections will be held.
After some deliberation; 2 candidates have stepped forth from Brightwall and Shalefields, Cad & Olde Delaware, both prominent movers and shakers of Albion. Cad, having the distinction of being a long time Knight Foreign (that’s my direct superior, fyi), is excited to take the full reigns of power (if he can win the election against…?) His proposed Vice Chief Knight, Olde Delaware, came into this region and hit the ground running. Whilst still “Fresh off the boat” he was elected into one of Albion’s highest offices, even taking control of his city-state!

Who will rise to challenge these formidable candidates? Will any duo stand firm in the face of potentially defaulted power?

Visit Albion to find out.

-The RAL helped out with the invasion of Johorne recently, so, that’s kinda cool. It was an occupation which went well and no feelings were hurt in the long run. If you feel as though your feelings were hurt, please PM your local Albion Diplomat to console you.

-Prominent local citizen, Seven Deaths, moved recently and didn’t sprain anything during the move. We all offer our heartfelt congratulations to him!

  • We’ve seen an uptick in new blood coming in. After the leavings of some members/entities in Albion, this is a welcome infusion of life-force. Here’s to you, new guys!

-Our local Arch-Magus (Calvin Coolidge) has called to the community to help him respond to an…interesting article in his school paper.

-Former Warden Palatine of Brightwall, Lynneiah, has resigned her position in a formal topic. She stated her citizenship as forfeit as well and that she was moving to greener pastures. We all wish ol' Lynn the best and god speed!


-The Chief & Vice Knight Elections have concluded. And with only the two original candidates having been nominated, there wasn't so much an election as there was an appointment! Congratulations to Cad & Olde Delaware.
Here's to you making Albion great again!


-Local guy-who-never-changes-his-avatar-anymore 7-5 has called for a revolution in the Albion City-State of Brightwall. No plans or initiatives were spoken on in his call to arms for revolution and so no one is quite certain what he's shooting for. But, given that it's the guy who made this (https://soundcloud.com/user-422594675) it's sure to be interesting!


-Queen MagentaFairy has appointed power-player Seven Deaths as King of Albion after some months of them being married. He accepted the position with gusto and many a discussion has been had about how we can make Albion the best region ever!
Our congratulations to the new king! And our anticipation goes out to his new ideas that he'll tell us about whenever he tells us about them!

-The Grand Council Elections have concluded! Notable Albion Citizens Vaclav Vinograd, Satya Romefeller, Mysty Saxton and Those_Idiots were lifted to the prominent positions of Grand Councilmen/women. Congrats to all who won!

LATER UPDATE: DUE TO SECURITY CONCERNS VV HAS LATER BEEN REMOVED FROM HIS POST.

-Speaking of the newly elected GC; Those_Idiots has begun crowdsourcing plans to up recruitment and RMB activity. So far, no real proposals have come up. But, seeing as how Those_Idiots began crowdsourcing just this evening, that's not really surprising. What big initiatives and plans will come up? Only time (and the crowd) will tell.

Hey there guys and gals! We know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from us, but we’ve been quite busy rebuilding our forum to better suit what we want out of our region. In the meantime, you may have heard that https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=414601 will soon be upon us. Last year, Albion managed to clinch a win with this beautiful parody of Let it Go entitled https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCQMtA5VuKU&feature=youtu.be!

Well, now we’re hosting this year’s Raider Vision on thehttp://s15.zetaboards.com/RaiderCon/index/ and we’re more than eager to see what you can bring to the table. What can you submit? To quote the handbook, “You can submit any sort of song you like. It can be a cover of a real song (e.g. you can sing something by Lil’ Dicky, Death Cab for Cutie, or The Killers), you can write an original work, or it can be related to your nation. Writing lyrics related to NS is another fun option. It’s your choice, and long as it involves your own work in some way!”

You can read more rules and see dates in the official 2017 Raider Vision Event Handbook located https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=414601

For now though, know that submissions are being accepted June 16th through June 30th, with voting taking place during Raider Con.

If you have questions, please add me as a friend on Discord at Seven Deaths#7248 as I will definitely not have the time to check back to this post.
Good luck everyone! And may the Lord of Song grace all your efforts!
