On the second thought. Nah I'll probably don't do it considering the travels and supplies i need to be sufficient of my travel from Philippines to California by either swimming or making an small boat.
Anywhoozle, I apologise for my absence the last couple days. I recently finished a big project and was taking a little time off. But! I'm pleased to bring you the results of Bastion IV!, where we sought to expand our influence and power through mutually exchanged WA endorsements. We have a lot to be proud of this time around. Two weeks ago, we started off with about 3,000 endorsements in the region -- we now have added another thousand endorsements, and at 4,000 region wide, we're now 18th for the most World Assembly endorsements in the world as a region, pulling ourselves up three spots higher than last month.
So many of you have done a fantastic job, especially the four who earned a perfect score this time around, thank you all for working so hard.
Those of you in the top 20 bolded positions will be picking up a Season 2 legendary Wrapper, in just a hot minute, and I'll add the winners to the program's permanent dispatch record in a few hours. Congrats to the winners! :D
The top 20 Endorsement-Givers are guaranteed to be awarded a Season 2 Legendary Card: Wrapper
Wardens, being a beacon of shining hope for the innocent regions of this world is not without its risk. Even now, the Darkspawn dream of a world where their campaigns of terror can go unimpeded, where the foundations of our people crumble to dust. We will never allow this to happen, and YOU have the power to help us. Our strength has always been drawn from unity. From our incredible coalition of defender allies who work with us to stop the Darkspawn's plans of conquest at every turn, to our inspirational team of Wardens who work tirelessly night and day to grow The Order, we are all bringing light to this world. The same is true of our own regional security.
Should Weisshaupt Fortress fall, the protection of The Order of the Grey Wardens will rest with each and every one of us. Above all, there's one sure-fire way to build up our defences now and prepare for any situation or threat: We must become a Bastion in our own right. Darkspawn use influence built by an army of worshipers to channel power into destructive magicks. This power they reserve for their upper leadership, alone, but we in the Grey Wardens are entrusting it to all of you. With it, we will build an impenetrable wall.
Every endorsement on a nation generates 2 influence daily. If you give out one hundred endorsements, it adds two hundred to our wall of influence every day and thwarts raiders' dreams of conquest. Along the way, you're also helping to grow your own nation. Endorsement and influence badges on your nation page can only be achieved by endorsing your allies in the region and having them endorse you back. It benefits everyone, for we all grow together.
I am challenging you.
Take up this quest and help build our Bastion. Join the World Assembly, and use the table below to endorse as many other World Assembly nations as you can. In particular, endorse our World Assembly delegate Thousand Branches. Now, or in the future, you are also free to use The North Pacific's Endorse the World function by typing in your nation's name and The Order of the Grey Wardens into the service to locate any nations you haven't yet endorsed.
This issue of the Bastion Program was delayed by the considerable contributions all members of The Order gave to help our recent liberation effort, and as such, the competition deadline has been pushed back, so returning military personnel may recover.
The top twenty nations who have given out the most endorsements by May 12th will be guaranteed to receive the Season 2 legendary card, Wrapper, pictured to the right, as a reward for helping to keep our region powerful and secure.
Being a Guardian is for warriors who are unable to engage the Darkspawn on the frontlines and yet are still willing and eager to fight the raider blight.
For those busy during the two game update times, you can still conduct military operations and make a difference as a Guardian. Guardians choose to guard and cleanse the regions of NationStates from the Darkspawn in-between update times with a more flexible schedule. Guardians move into target regions during the 12-hour windows between game updates and provide vital WA endorsement support to their leading officers, as well as conducting detags and off update defenses.
Guardian mission updates are found on the RMB (Regional Message Board) and World Factbook Entry for Guardian missions which are updated every 12 hours. There are also notifications given on Discord, if you are able to join.
You don't need to sign up or register anywhere, either on NationStates, on Discord, or the forum. Just start participating by following this guide! This guide will remain pinned in our region to serve as a handbook whenever you need it.
How to Participate:
We call your current nation in The Order of the Grey Wardens your "main nation". For Guardian missions, you will need another nation, which is called a "puppet nation". You can name this nation whatever you want when you create it. To get your puppet nation setup, follow these steps:
1) If your main nation is admitted to the World Assembly, resign now. 2) Login to your puppet nation, or create it if you have not done so already. 3) Go to the Settings page. 4) Associate a valid e-mail with your nation (make sure this is the same e-mail address as on your main nation). 5) In your Motto, make a reference to the name of your main nation in some fashion (so that we know it's you!) 6) Set the Guardians Flag on that nation 7) Apply to join the World Assembly. 8) Check your e-mail, and confirm your admittance into the World Assembly. 9) Move to the current region listed in the newest Guardian RMB post and endorse the selected nation 10) Remain there until the lead nation gains the delegacy position
Between missions, keep your puppet nation in The Order of the Grey Wardens, endorsing our delegate Frilless islands.
Total mission counts and ranks are calculated at the end of each month by Guardian leadership, typically pinned on the main region page when published.
There may be times where the format of a Guardian mission changes, depending on the needs or goals of the mission. It's important to check your telegrams on your Guardian nation in case you receive special instructions, but here are some you might encounter generally:
If asked to move to a region, you move your puppet nation to that region by opening the region page, scrolling to after the World Factbook Entry, and then clicking "Move (Nation) to (Region)". (Note: Do not post on that region's Regional Message Board unless invited by native nations to do so)
If asked to endorse a nation, open that nation's page, scroll to the bottom, and click the button "Endorse (Nation)". (Note: You can only do this if your puppet nation is in the same region as that nation)
If asked to cross-endorse on a nation, you not only endorse that nation but also every other nation endorsing that nation. To see the endorsees of a nation, scroll to the bottom of the page to "Endorsements received:", which is followed by a list of endorsing nations.
If asked to cross-endorse in the region, when you enter a region, you will want to find your fellow Guardian nations and cross-endorse on them. To find these nations, you can either scroll through all nations in the region and look for nations with the Guardian flag, or look at the activity page for that region for nations moving to that region with the Guardian flag.
Guardian Ranks:
Being a Guardian offers quick promotions based on the number of missions you complete and further leadership opportunities. Guardian missions and various Guardian tasks are managed by those who hold the following ranks:
Silverite Guardian - The Silverite Guardian is the leader of all the Guardian forces. They will oversee missions and make sure the deeds of the Guardians are remembered for those who come after by maintaining records.
Guardian Champion - The Guardian Champion is second-in-command to the Silverite Guardian. They are an experienced veteran of the battlefields and can be trusted to provide leadership in the absence of the Silverite Guardian.
Guardian Captain - Guardian captains are those who have shown outstanding dedication to the cause and are entrusted to take the lead on missions when called upon by their superiors.
Even when not in leadership, Guardians can earn titled ranks that reflect their experience and hard-earned effort against the raider blight. These ranks are calculated by leadership at the end of each month, as found in the Guardian mission log:
Guardian Knight-Indomitable - These Guardians have dedicated countless hours to protecting regions. You can recognise them by their armor, dented but still glorious, and patched up over and over. That is, if you don't already recognise their storied name. (Awarded to those who have completed more than 125 missions)
Guardian Knight-Stalwart - Stalwarts are loyal to their friends and their quest, reliable in every battle, and hard-working, having dedicated their time and sword to a myriad of missions. (Awarded to those who have completed 76-125 missions)
Guardian Knight-Bulwark - These Guardians have attended a multitude of missions, their glorious swords always ready to plunge into battle. Regions know they can depend on a Knight-Bulwark. (Awarded to those who have completed 36-75 missions)
Guardian Knight - When you hear the gale of wings, and the glint of metal, and the cry of the griffin, a Guardian Knight cannot be far away, ready to help whoever is in need. (Awarded to those who have completed 21-35 missions)
Guardian - Guardians are the shields that protect the vulnerable, and the hands that reach out to help people back up after a raid. (Awarded to those who have completed 6-20 missions)
Guardian Squire - These young guardians have recently taken up their sword to protect regions all over NationStates. You can recognize them by their shiny new armor and boundless enthusiasm! (Awarded to those who have completed 1-5 missions)
i just finish watching Hamilton The Musical. And holy shoot all songs, acts and scene are incredibly satisfying. Like holy shoot... i am so loving it and it's fuels my hyperfixation damn. I am loving to all the songs. And vibing hardly to it. Including the end oh man i cried...
Yeah i saw and heard. Could you um, refrain from discussing or possibly mentioning it on the future. I felt very depressed and more mundane if someone continue to talk about our situation i dealt with. I play Nationstates to have some kind of escapism on the depressing and dark reality i dealt with. And mentioning this makes me broke my self-delusions i built within myself. Could you um, do, that for me?
