I would personally argue that it's largely a Gameplay thing that shouldn't mean anymore to us than XKI being essentially at-war with raiding/raiders permanently, in the sense that it doesn't affect us and they are trying (Pacifica) to be a region that is a lot more that.

Almost nothing is going well in the US federal government or my state's government but it looks like my city's next mayor will be solid on local environmental sustainability issues (especially when it comes to mass transit).

I'm going to abstain, as I'm NS-family related to Cormactopia and therefore a bit biased :P Obviously Pacifica is a massive region, and it's especially powerful in the WA (134 endorsements on the delegate), which might make it a good future partner on WA matters. On the other hand, as people have already pointed out, it does have a partial focus on Gameplay / R/D matters that are not quite our thing.

I thought they were cool when I was a girl too. Wouldn't necessarily name them as personal heroes or role models, but I liked watching their adventures on TV. Caracasus, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, Canaltia, and 1 otherThe mongol forest |
The Scully Effect is pretty interesting too. It is thought the character is responsible for an increase in young women pursuing careers in science and that. The new bluestocking homeland, Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and 2 othersCanaltia, and The mongol forest |

You know what would be interesting? If the economy was more a part of NS. I'm talking trade alliances/wars, absolute/comparative advantages. Basically the concept of trade. The only problem is, how do you program that?

There is no need to because I suspect that economics factor into some RPs. Lord Dominator, Canaltia, and The mongol forest |
Ahhh okay. Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, Canaltia, and The mongol forest |
My ambassador got locked up in an Yggdrasilian dungeon for no good reason. What happened to diplomatic immunity‽ Frieden-und Freudenland, Mount Seymour, Lord Dominator, Canaltia, and 3 othersRivienland, The mongol forest, and Reolaa |

Welcome to our RMB, which is a little different to some regions in that we encourage more thought out posting. We'd be very grateful of you could avoid posts like these. Thanks!

Hi! Welcome to Forest. How are you on this fine day/night? Murmuria, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and The mongol forest |
This evening goes fine over here. Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, Canaltia, and The mongol forest |

I just want to remind people that this will be kicking off in about 24 hours: Journey Through the Woods  On behalf of Forest and The Rejected Realms, it is our honor to present to you a collaborative storytelling event that will be hosted on our Regional Message Boards. On our respective RMBs there will be a different narrative that begins with a paragraph and each subsequent person to follow will add their own paragraph and continue on the stories. As long as you are a member of Forest, the Rejected Realms, or one of our embassy regions with access to posting on our RMBs you can participate. Each RMB will feature a thematically different story with different characters so if you can, you are encouraged to participate in both. When The opening paragraphs for each narrative will be posted on the respective RMBs on February 21st, 2019 at 12:00 AM GMT and the event will last until February 25th, 2019 at 12:00AM GMT. Rules
Sneak Preview of Starting Paragraphs In case you wanted to know what the stories will be about and start brainstorming some ideas see below. Mielikki woke up in a cold sweat after having a dream that her favorite maple tree had been destroyed by a rogue lumberjack. She saw a flickering orange glow lighting her room and was able to easily find and put on her glasses before looking out the window to see that her prized maple was ablaze. This realization made her feel like her stomach was being eaten by snakes. She had planted the maple as a small child and grown up with it. She had her first kiss under its ruddy canopy. She cannot remember who she kissed there many decades ago but had become to consider this tree to be her best friend. She had watched her son play under it before the incident. She grabbed her cane and rushed outside to futilely attempt to douse the flames with her garden hose. Despite failing to stop the blaze its light revealed a gas can, a lighter, and footprints leading away from the tree toward the woods. A sense of resolve grew in her. She went back inside and asked her wise old spider plant if she should follow the footprints and get revenge on the arsonist after sunrise. The spider plant whispered, 'Do it if your arthritis won’t stop you! You should go for a walk in the woods in any case because it will calm you." The march out of town was mostly quiet. Not surprising for such an awkward endeavor. Every year, the young lives of all those who had completed all the years of their formal education were evaluated based on how they fit in with the community and the order of things. Free thinkers, with radical ideas were nothing but troublemakers in the eyes of the elders. The community had been ravaged by power struggles in the past and so the elders designed this process to weed out the biggest rebels and misfits. On this day, the misfit in question was a boy named Adam. Despite the warnings of his parents throughout his childhood, he couldn’t help his inquisitive, opinionated nature. And so Adam was being escorted out to the woods miles from the community, banished forever. They finally arrived at the edge of the vast woodlands and stopped. One of the armed escorts asserted gruffly, “The penalty for contacting or returning to the community is death. Good luck”. And then they left. If you have any questions please contact one of us and we'd be glad to help. We're excited about this and we hope you have fun writing some interesting stories with us.

I dunno how much that is actually true. How would you even measure something like that? Caracasus, Frieden-und Freudenland, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and 2 othersCanaltia, and The mongol forest |
I have heard of it for a while, though I must admit I haven't done that much reading into it. I imagine they interviewed a large sample of women who were in science related fields and law enforcement who would have been around about the right age and asked them about why they chose their career. Here is an article. Can't say much for the article's credibility however they do link the source. http://mentalfloss.com/article/540530/scully-effect-female-x-files-viewers-stem-careers Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, Canaltia, and The mongol forest |
