• Governments of TSP and TRR Announce Intent to Strengthen Relations
The South Pacific and the Rejected Realms met to discuss relations after sharing a somewhat icy relationship ever since the summer of 2011. A statement was issued in regards to relations between the two regions.

A Statement from
the South Pacific and the Rejected Realms

Regarding our Regions’ Relationship and its Future

The Governments of the South Pacific and the Rejected Realms,

Realizing that the state of relations between both regions have not been the most desirable,

Reiterate that, despite this, they are not in a state of war or hostile towards each other,

Note that the Rejected Realms Army and the South Pacific Army have never declared war, or acted with any hostile intent against each other at any point, even during the most trying times of their relationship,

Acknowledge the troubles of the past and, determined to move past them, promise to work together for a brighter future on this day forward.

Signed,
Milograd, Chairman of the South Pacific [2/2/13]
Whamabama, Delegate of The Rejected Realms [2/2/13]
Frattastan, Rejected Realms Army Commander [2/2/13]
Hileville, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the South Pacific [2/2/13][/spoiler]

The statement is the first step in building stronger relations between our regions.

• A New Embassy Thread

Milograd, after receiving the blessings of Topid and MoFA Hileville, created a fancy new embassy thread for the South Pacific here. Topid ran the original on-site embassy thread but it hadn’t been used since January of 2012, so a new and fresher thread was desired by the members of the region. It features an introduction by Milograd, a brief overview and explanation of the commune’s government’s components, an index of historical updates, and instructions for seeking military assistance and/or an embassy with the South Pacific.

• Fight Against Flagspam

Late last month and in the beginning of this month, RMB recruiters utilized the “nation=noname” BBCode tool on the South Pacific’s RMB to create images of their regions’ flags and/or historical figures that they identify with. The garish ad-spam, which Milograd later started calling “flagspam,” was quickly suppressed, but it scarred enough of the region’s members’ eyes to prompt Milograd to make a special announcement regarding flagspam.

Members of the feeder and sinker regions including Milograd, TAO, Westwind, Todd McCloud, Mad Jack, Charles Cerebella, Frattastan, Jamie Anumia, protested the allowance of this recruitment tactic to the site’s administration. Fortunately, NS Administrator [violet] was generous enough to remove it from the game after saying, “If someone’s using images in a distracting way to insert themselves into that conversation, lots of people are inconvenienced, and there’s no easy way to work around it.”

• TSP Participates in GCR Anti-Nazi Summit

The South Pacific is attending the ongoing summit hosted by the Pacific in regards to the ever growing disgusting ideology of Nazism in NationStates: Milograd and Hileville are serving as representatives for the region at the summit. The South Pacific previously had declared war on the Greater German Reich and the greater spread of the Nazi ideology. Discussions that have been taking place include a joint statement between the GCR’s denouncing Nazism and potential world assembly resolutions.

• Potential Forum Merge for TSP

After nearly a month of discussion, the motion to merge the old South Pacifician boards and the new South Pacifician boards has received consensus approval from the region. The new boards were originally created when the old forum’s server went offline and was inaccessible for nearly a week. A conversion to zetaboards was being discussed at the time, but the new forums were already active and in full use by the time that the old ones were restored. The old board was eventually converted to zetaboards but it was made into a read-only archive. The forums will be merged onto an IPS board.

The original South Pacific off-site forums were created in 2003, and the “new” boards were created in March of 2012: Tsunamy was the root administrator of the former, and Southern bellz has worked hard as the root administration of the latter. The merge is expected to occur sometime within the next week.

I’m down for a good old fashion witch burnin!

One does not simply burn a witch.

Back in the grampas days, they put the witch in a wooden barrel, sealed it shut, and then tossed the barrel into a river. If the person survived then they were a witch, but if they didn’t survive then they were just some guy.

Thank you for the update.

You’re welcome.
