Carcharoth was taken, unfortunately. But yes, Morgoth’s guardian of Angband’s gates. :P |
Ah, yes, obviously; Carcharoth! A terrible, powerful beast. And so evil, running away with a silmaril like that! Wouldn't surprise me if Carcharoth was used in a previous raid on Middle Earth :P Now I see the resemblance of the werewolf name with the LWU. Nice idea for a name. |

. The R&D aspect of the game is something our region is not into, but we experience it once a year or two years. We thank our vigilent friends that make it so that we only stumble into problems once a year and not more often, we thank our friends that came and assisted us when we got into problems, we thank our raiders for conducting an interesting in-lore raid without too much disruption, and, finally, we thank our residents for not antagonising things, as I know how much the region means for the natives and how vocal people get in those moments. Middle Earth is mostly full of ents, so I m surprised if not the majority of our residents had any idea of the latest turmoil, which can be consideres as lucky in these given circumstaces. Thank you to the natives that were active during the raid but did not engaged the raiders in bitter RMB talk which is never productive, considering that everyone does in this game (NS) what they consider to be interesting. So, thank you to Kitezh and to those that assisted Middle Earth in regaining control. Your help is utmost appreciated! Thank you's are extended also to Red Maw and those that participated in the raid of Middle Earth but did so with in-lore names and generally not so much disruption. My personal opinion to the lot of you is that the doors of Middle Earth is open for anyone that has interest in the lore, and that you can stay / remain here with your nation, a nation puppet, or come here in secret, just as long as you leave your R&D ambitions to your other nations, something similar to what I have done in the distant past. Many of you know this but many also do not, as I have played both as a defender and as an invader (back in a time when people were calling it invading rather than raiding), both for big organizations now defunct / not operational, and then I decided to remain around because this was a part of NS that also interested me.

The Elven Realm of March of Maedhros Everything seems to of turned out reasonably fine, and I am glad for the peace that remained on the RMB and that has been restored to the region. If anybody has any questions, concerns, or ideas feel free to TG me! The Stalker, Tatarica, Dwarven mines, and Dwarf |
Please forgive my poorly-informed-ness. As I recall there was supposed to be a means that was made available a year or two ago that basically allowed Regions such as ours to simply opt-out of being raided. What was it again? Something like having an officer with Boarder Control that could not be removed by raiders? Sort of like a Founder for a Founderless region? Is this available to us? If so, lets do it - now. I seem to remember some inconclusive discussions around this a while back - some objections like what about if the person quits NS, and then it is quit involved to change who gets this power (requiring an act of the WA?). I say let us delay and hee and haw no longer. Let us take decisive action to protect our fair region from these orcish raiders. Noldoria is not the oldest nation in this region by far - so we don't deserve this responsibility. However, if no one else will step up an take it - if we are the only ones willing - then we will happily do this service for Arda. Let her never again be marred by raiders. We can guarantee that Noldoria will forever stand will you as an active member in our region. We say to the free peoples - give someone amongst us this responsibility - whoever you think best qualified - so that they may crush the next raiding attempt - not unlike as Helm Hammerhand would ! |
Congratulations to March of Maedhros for reassuming delegacy :) The Stalker, March of Maedhros, Dwarven mines, Dwarf, and 2 othersFingon, and Elvish dorab |
Does anyone have a good quote of the day that we add to our WFE? And maybe change it to quote of the week / or latest quote |
Some highbrow poetry perhaps: "Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go Tatarica, March of Maedhros, Dwarven mines, and Echoriath |
Not anymore. Gollum! Gollum! Tatarica and Great dwarfheim |
Hope you didnt have anything to do about his demise, Smeagollum! Something about your precious... Dwarven mines, Smeagollum, and Great dwarfheim |
Welcome back, Ryfin! Yes, there was an occupation for a couple of days by the LWU raider organization. Most of the R&D was involved in another region in around the same time, so things were a bit odd but not very. |
Well, would you look at this Great Conference of Dwarves we've got going on here :) (Actually, I would think there would be a better name for a gathering of Dwarves...have to think on it) Welcome, Dwarfheim. Glad to have you. Tatarica, Dwarven mines, and Great dwarfheim |
Hello and welcome to the region! There are a lot more interesting things you can do on NS now, Great dwarfheim; more issues to answer and there's fun in playing the card game also (where you get NS cards that you can collect or sell based on a random chance after answering issues). Obviously, if you want to get more involved we (Middle Earth) also do a small roleplay that you're more than welcomed to be involved in (we have some other dwarves playing and even other dwarf'named players playing non-dwarf races!) Obviously, any questions you have, both in-theme or in-game related feel free to ask. Here I asked earlier if anyone knows of a good quote to add to our WFE, and this reminds me to change it to one of the two proposals. Anyone else has more?

July Elections Scheduled elections took place in July for the positions of Senator for Himes West (roleplay) and Senator for Lyonnesse East (houses). Wille-Harlia of TCP defeated Krystalveil of WIP with 40 votes to 20 to become Senator of Himes West. Free Las Pinas (MSPP), Thedairos (TCP), and Haivon (WIP) all entered the first race for Lyonnesse East with the conclusion resulting in a runoff between Thedairos and Free Las Pinas as no candidate reached a 50% majority of votes. The ensuing run-off resulted in a tie that then triggered a vote by the Council of Nine to select the new senator, all of this culminating to the election of Thedairos as Senator of Lyonnesse East. XKI thanks Marxist germany and The United Royal Islands of Euramathania for their previous service. Congratulations to the winners and commiserations to the other candidates.

Congratulations Wille-Harlia! XKI Game-Side A July regional poll by Jabberwocky forced Islanders to pick a superpower, but clearly all of the disastrous time travel movie plots did not deter many. July held some contentious topics but here are some more lighthearted posts from this month...

Meet A Nation Interview This month's edition features an interview with one of the newest elected Senators in XKI, Wille-Harlia, on their time in XKI and future plans for roleplay in the region. Aside from their senate seat, WH also serves as an Emissary, Cultural Office Assistant, Deputy Cartographer, and TITO Member. GK: Let's start with some of your time here. Being a more recent addition to the Islands, could you talk a bit about what attracted you to XKI? WH: First, the recruitment telegram I received seemed the most sincere of all of them, and offered the most things. Once I got to XKI, the warm welcome I received was amazing, and no question was stupid. The same thing on the forum and the Discord. Then, when I got into some jobs where I could show my thanks, I knew I would stay for good. GK: Since you mentioned you liked the variety of things XKI offered, have you developed any favorite activities/hobbies in your time here? WH: There are some hobbies I have here in XKI. One is RPing in ATA with all the other regular ATAers. One hobby I used to have was refreshing to the Job Opportunities page every day for new jobs I’d be interested in. But I don’t really do that anymore now as I have enough jobs. I will also occasionally Debate in the politics section of the Discord, and I also play in the XKI Minecraft server. GK: Speaking of hard work, you recently faced your first ever election in XKI, how do you feel now looking back at it? WH: I was recently elected the Himes West Senator, in charge of RP. Looking back on that campaign, I think I did everything right, but I didn’t even use half of my paid advertisements. I think that once I took an early 15 vote lead, I had it won, but there was still good competition from Krystalveil, as we had very similar platforms. GK: Could you outline some of your goals for the future of RP in XKI? WH: I have two goals for XKI RP. The first is to improve the quality of RP in the XKI RP region of A Taco Archipelago. The second is to revive the forum and Discord RP. GK: Big goals! Are there any future projects you can tease our readers about in regards to RP? WH: On the Discord, I can tease an Insanity RP event, on the forum, a medieval and a WW3 event, and in ATA, a whole plethora of events that will make up an RP event with a common enemy for all. GK: Very interesting, what are you most excited for in the future of RP? WH: I am most excited to see the results of my attempts! GK: For sure. Lastly, what do you think the biggest challenge will be in regards to your work in RP? WH: This a challenge that will take thinking to overcome: How to get the game side RPers on the forum and Discord. Until next month, your XKI Update Staff is signing off - Grea Kriopia and Wischland Greetings my fellow NS members. As some of you may have heard, today 10000 Islands was targeted by a person impersonating a member of our Discord moderation team. This impersonator was able to gain access to our entire discord server by impersonating an offline moderator, to the detriment of our region. This impersonator, once having access to our server, engaged in a destructive action that left our entire server destroyed. All information within our server since it was created in late 2016/early 2017 has been destroyed and is beyond retrieval. Over a dozen members of our server were also banned by them, and we are working on contacting them in order to re-invite them. We ask that the community please have patience while we work go fix what has been destroyed, and if you know anything please contact us. Thank you, Tatarica, March of Maedhros, Dwarven mines, and Dwarf |
First of all, welcome back Elvish dorab! Secondly, thank you for the news! Finally, that is some quite sad and unfortunate information (regarding your region's Discord server). I don't use Discord, but I would suspect that these things can be quite common and as such there are some safeguards in place, like backups? or links of contact for Discord admins to get things back in order? I hope that things get back to normal as soon as possible. Middle Earth definitely stands with 10000 Islands and if there is anything we can do to help please let us know! Probably most we can do is entertain with titbits of info or in-theme songs so that people forget about the unpleasanties that have happened, but even so!

I think we are being raided now Tatarica, March of Maedhros, Dwarven mines, and Dwarf |
