It gives me great pleasure in announcing that I have appointed Lead Keion as head of the Guardians Guild.

Does anyone have an interest in heading the Citizens or Defence Guilds?

Guardians was renamed Cultural guild in the constitution, with the office of Chief Curator as its head. Please refer them to the relevant section of the constitution for information about their job description. I will provide these new appointees permissions to their relevant sections of the forum.

Please register your account on the forum if you plan to be to able to vote, hold an office, or participate in Abydos beyond the extent provided here on the RMB.

Also, be sure to direct newcomers who wish to hold a position or that you wish to name to a position to apply for citizenship either here or on the forums (preferably on the forums.)

Ancient Greek Kingdoms, you have been given permissions over the Oracles Guild, and all subordinate sections under the section in the forums.

I'm hearing all this talk over the forums but I haven't seen a single link to it anywhere. Why isn't there a link to it available already???

You mean the thing near the top of the page.

Thank you. No one has said where it was located and it was frustrating for me to find it. It should be at the bottom of the Guilds page or the Eye of Abydos so when people read them it's quick for them to enter it.
Its also super small on the page and I didn't notice it at all.

I agree it should be on the guilds page as well. If I recall it's been around for a few weeks so it's not really a new thing. Just not something really told to us on how to go about getting to it.

I'm going to really have to get used to the forums. It's kind of strange.

I much prefer using the RMB than the forum but I guess we’ll just have to get used to it.

I don't really see the purpose of the forum since we can do everything that the forum is used for on the RMB and in factbooks.

I know one of the uses for the forum is to make elections easier as you have to have a registered account to vote there while on NationStates it’s quite easy to have multiple WA nations

The forum also sets aside a space for people to submit their ideas and work without it being buried as it is on the RMB, it creates order, and forces people to make a commitment if they wish to participate. And it keeps people honest. The administration can track IP activity, weed out spies, and protect the region from trouble by consigning its core activities to a space that is restricted to only the most serious players.

I want to say THANK YOU to all of you in Abydos -- especially to those who did a bit of trading with me. I have enjoyed being in your region and will remember it fondly as I journey.

Best to you all. I must continue on my way.

If you know a player in NS with MULTIPLE WA nations, I am sure the Game Mods will soon know that player, too, and MOD BOMB him/her and all the nations/puppets of that player. Being a WA multi is still a major game infraction.

*sighs* Unfortunately, for those who are determined to cheat, there are strategies that will allow then to work around the game restrictions.

Let's stir up some conversation. What shows have you watched during quarantine and which ones have you enjoyed the most?

Ho Ho I can tell you some.

The Last Kingdom - Pretty much Vikings, except more intense I'd say.
Vikings - Uh exactly what It sounds like
The Dragon Prince - a nice casual show
One Punch Man - Can't really criticize it since its one of the only animes I've watched
The 100 - It gets long eventually, but a good way to pass the time
Knightfall - Basically the last kingdom and Vikings but catholic and crusade
Altered Carbon - Puts together an interesting concept and world to go along with
Warrior Nun - a cool concept and show I guess
Snowpiercer - A extremely good show, to my opinion, as it shows the intricacies of a world that set in a different world than ours (btw that's the show, not the movie)
the office - no need for any explanation
Avatar: The Last Airbender - an absolute legendary show with such a cool concept and world-building
The Witcher - I mean its good, but I lost track of the show quite quickly
Mind Field - Hey Vsauce, Micheal here

and some good movies too, like Old Guard, Spectral, The Wandering Earth and others. I've been putting the Netflix subscription to good use :D

I completely forgot to write in mine. XD
1. The Office. I enjoyed it and it’s very funny
2. Breaking Bad + El Camino. The show is actually pretty good. There are some minor things here and there that could be touched upon but I overall enjoyed the story and loved the conclusion. El Camino finished up the overall story quite well.
3.Better Call Saul. The prequel to Breaking Bad. It’s more of a comedy than Breaking Bad and is hilarious.
4. My Hero Academia. Pretty nice show and I have yet to watch season 4 because I’m lazy.
5. The Walking Dead. Eh. It’s ok. Sometimes the story is slow, sometimes is very fast paced and interesting. Story is good. Deserves a watch.

The 100 - I rewatched this show in its entirety, plus they have a new season airing. I generally like post apocalyptic themed shows, and this one, was well done, if a bit wonky.

The Walking Dead - I watched some of the later seasons. It's slow most of the time, but the great episodes makes it worth it.

The Stand - Just the whole 8 hour movie is a good watch from time to time.

Hannibal - I am a fan of the movies, the series, while a little dry some of the time, did not disappoint. Currently starting season 2.

Trial by Media - This is a surprisingly good series, which focuses on how the media plays a role in court trials. Currently on episode 4
