Curlyhoward:"Hey Moe! I thought of a way we can save on the water bill!"
Larry:"You had a thought??"
Curlyhoward:"Ain't I great? What we do is, we all pee at the same time and only have to flush once! Plus we can try to cross our streams like the Ghostbusters!!! Rite Moe?!?!?!"
Moe:"Hey Joe, wanna handle this one?"
Joe Besser:"Curly, I'm gonna give you such a pinch!!!"
Moe:"C'mere.... "
Curlyhoward:"Joe don't! Not in front of Bill Murray!!!"
Balisca, this new era requires a more evolved Curlyhoward. Enjoy all my voluminous collection of previous posts to enjoy less of a pg-13 time. When Curlyhoward would push the R rated stuff......he's such a craaaaaaaaazy!
Today we've got a bit of a special mission... there's a vulnerable region that needs our help, and we're going to help keep them safe for a while. Will you come along with us?
Twice a day, NationStates updates, and delegates change all over the world. Some warriors appear only at the height of the battle. Like the tide, the SPSF Tidal Force flow to their target all through the day.
If you can’t or don’t want to update (the times - 12 AM and 12 PM EST - can be very inconvenient!), don’t have time to learn the ins and outs of military gameplay, but still want to contribute to the South Pacific, then the Tidal Force is for you.
You need only three things to sign up to the Tidal Force:
An email address, so you can join the World Assembly.
A nation in TSP. This is your main nation, and we will send orders to it.
A second nation, known as a ‘puppet’. If you don’t already have one, click here to make one. This nation is the one you will use to participate on missions. All actions such as moving to other regions, endorsing nations, etc. in military operations will be performed using this nation. (You don't want the enemy to know your true identity, after all.) You will have to resign WA membership and admit on your puppet nation for Tidal Force missions, resulting in the temporary loss of endorsements on your main nation. Only sign up if you are willing to do this.
Finally, to apply, follow these steps:
If your main nation is admitted to the World Assembly, resign now.
Log in to your puppet nation, or create it if you have not done so already.
Go to the Settings page.
Add your email address into the E-mail box near the bottom of the Settings page (make sure this is the same e-mail address as on your main nation if you already have one).
Pick out one of our SPSF Flags from the folder and upload it as your puppet nation's flag!
Apply to join the World Assembly with your puppet nation.
Check your e-mail, and confirm your admittance into the World Assembly (applications should arrive in around a minute or less).
Join our Discord for further instructions and training
If you don't want to or can't join Discord, send a telegram to Eshialand or Pacific Shores that looks like this (example below):
Whenever we have a mission, it will be made known to you via discord, this dispatch, and a post tagging your nation on the Regional Message Board. If there are no current orders, you may return to the region and endorse the Delegate and all members of the CRS. In general you can expect to be on missions most of the time - we aim for at least one new mission every day.
When you're given a mission, these are things you might be asked to do:
Move to a region - you'll be given a region link. Click on it and look for the "Move to this region" button.
Endorse a nation - scroll to the bottom of the nation page and click the endorse button. You can only do this if both nations are in the region.
Cross-endorse on a nation - click the endorse button. Check the list of other nations who have endorsed that nation, and endorse them too.
Cross-endorse in the region - look for other SPSF nations in the region and endorse them all. You should be able to recognise them by their SPSF flags.
If you become delegate, we expect you to treat the region with care and don't do anything you weren't told to! You might be asked to do these things:
Detag the region - this washes away the advertisements raiders have left on a region. We have a guide to this here: page=dispatch/id=1190714
Ban and eject a nation - go to the nation's page, scroll down to the bottom and click "Ban and eject". You may not have enough influence to ban the nation yet - don't worry, just wait another day for your influence to grow.
some of us hop onto the rmb just for a few mins at a time scattered across the workday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
also you haven't posted for 78 minutes as of this update. pay up by holding yourself to your own standard - post at least every 15 minutes for the rest of time
