This Week’s Advice From Orcuo:

Most entrepreneurs start out small. From a local grocery store or a town bound wholesales company, businesses begin at the bottom. But just because you start low doesn’t mean your profits have to be low. There is one industry that will guarantee that you make your investment back in no time flat! That industry is… charity fraud! It is very simply: first choose a cause to support, this can be anything from helping local firefighters to helping cancer-riddled children; next you raise funds with the claim that they’ll go towards helping your target group, you can do this by direct donations or creating consumer products that will go towards the fundraising; give 40% of your profits towards the group you were suppose to be helping, while also giving another 10% to the head(s) of that group to be silent on the matter; and presto! You’re a millionaire! And you are worshipped by the public as a hero! Now, if things were to ever break down and people were to find out about your little scheme, plausible deniability is always bound to come in handy. You may also want to consider fleeing the country if things get a little too heated. So what are you waiting for my fellow entrepreneurs! Get out there and make some money!

Good advice, I'm more of a tax evasion guy myself, but I see the virtues in charity fraud.

I do prefer insurance fraud the most

I most definitely would like some! That is something I just can’t turn down!

I’m actually concerned by reading this. Any kind of fraud is wrong.

I just logged back on but cool and while you're at it we have a 50% discount on our finest orichalcum and adamantine.

But you can buy it right now with -37% interest on it it's almost like its free! And yes, we also take smooth rocks as payment.

Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed the weekend! :D

This weekend I posted my thoughts about the future of in-character governance in Wintreath, essentially the mindset and system that should replace our previous government, which came to an end in February 2023. It's basically an extended version of what we're doing now, so don't worry if you don't like huge changes haha. If you'd like to read, the post is here: https://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=8170

As requested, we also re-opened the #eurovision channel on our Discord server! This is one of those channels that come and go as wanted, and the first time it's reemerged since 2019. If you're into Eurovision, you might want to check it out.

Finally, we've had some new nations join us over the weekend! Welcome to Bhadno (whose player is a very kind person, as I'm sure you already know from the RMB), Syndicates of arovia, Shall Great Peace Come, EstadoCivil, Ancitane, Efchismenand, Cas Peleis. Thanks for joining up with us! We're glad you did! If you haven't already and you feel comfortable, please introduce yourself and let us know what made you decide to join. We'd love to hear from you! =)

Sorry to hear that. :( Thankfully when my internet goes out, I can do a wifi hotspot with my phone and at least still do some stuff online. Otherwise I'd be a bit bored...though I do have plenty of books to read...

Hello as a new member of Wintreath we have some of the local currency of Bhadno to gift to all everyone gets some Doubloon's!

Lol I remember joining two years ago and I was like “Hi I’m new” “Is there a way to turn off recruitment telegra-*gets moderated* “Hi there. Do NOT post two messages in a row.” Feel like it’s a lot less serious now

And for the poll, I spend a few minutes every night praying and reading Scripture which I guess counts?

I'd say that counts, yeah. :D

lol, that whole spam rule caused us a lot of problems, and in hindsight was pretty silly. In the last 16 months I can only recall one time somebody was egregious with spam and I had to say something. But back then I think the roleplayers felt like spam was disrupting their roleplay, and they were pretty serious about it. I dunno...I think the vibe now is better. :)

Role-playing or something else I'm kind of new and don't know a lot of NS acronyms. But I do a lot of role-playing!

What does NS stand for? My first thought was national socialist, but that feels kind of...off.

PS: English is just my second language

NS to me at least stands for Nation States the website.

Ps: Its actually really cool that english is your second language your great at it but if you don't mind me asking what is your first?

Hey everyone!

Nothing new going on in Wintreath besides what I posted yesterday, as my day yesterday was filled with work and household chores. We're going through with the process to select a new delegate. If any Citizens would like to be considered for the role, they should post in the Discord #governance channel.

But we do have some new nations! Welcome to Vilharmond, Morbely abeast, Og rome, Busteros, Vastra Sverige, and welcome back to New Obseum! Thanks for joining up with us! We're glad you're here. If you haven't already and you feel comfortable, please introduce yourself and let us know what made you decide to join with us. We'd love to hear from you. :)

What kind of roleplaying do you do?

Welcome back again! It's good to see you. :)

Haha, where did we even leave off with that? At this point would it be better to just start a new one?

Future Mankind wrote:

Bhadno is correct, on here NS is almost always used to mean NationStates, the name of the game.

Your English is great, btw. Better than some native English speakers I know haha

I’ve never tried roleplaying, but that sounds so cool. It would be fun.

Also, what should I do if I don’t have discord, but wish to apply to be the delegate?

I think a roleplay would be cool, I was thinking about maybe a military exercise rp, but that might get a bit too nitty gritty.

RP is a great idea. But I think there should be a relativly strict structure to it to ensure that chaos isn't emerging.
After all, it'd be a game and the most important thing about a game are it's rules.
