Yea, we are glad to help in any way. we even have people who are good at writing constitutions that you can use for Roleplay on the forums.

Thanks everyone!
You all are so kind!

Hello fellow Democracies

By order of the Most Holy Queen, the Kingdom of Pillalamarri releases this message to the European Union.

"We have been an isolated nation, yes, yes, and for good reason. Your politics are disgusting; they are not traditional, they are not orderly.

But we now all are facing this crisis. No matter your insanity, your strangeness, we must all in this time stand together.

The Kingdom of Pillalamarri has found that to rub oneself with lemons protects one from this strange new disease, as lemons have a spiritual energy that expels the miasma of death that is currently coursing through all our respective nations. We currently have those workers in the Corporation of Manual Labor, in the interest of national unity, rubbing everyone and everything with lemons.

We will pull through as a result of this policy, and we ask that you adopt it as well for our common defence."

HAIL PILLALAMARRI! HAIL! HAIL!

In the name of the Most Holy Queen, the Kingdom of Pillalamarri issues the following statement:

"The Kingdom of Pillalamarri continues to take a bold stance against the miasma of death. The Queen has issued an order redirecting 70% of the economy toward the production of lemon and other essential oils. Workers continue to rub lemons across the country; an order of conscription has been made as to increase these forces.

Our priests have been directed to exorcise the nation of the miasma, spritzing the holy oils. Alongside the rubbing of the lemons, this has been greatly successful.

We have also directed a new force as to spritz these oils, in great quantity, over the infected nations.

We must stand together; we must stand strong."

HAIL PILLALAMARRI! HAIL! HAIL!

hi

if you can help, that would be nice

Make sure to check periodically that you're still researching the cure. It expires and has to be manually re-set!

New Government Appointments

~Vivolkha was named Chair of the XKI Brigade of Endorsers to organize efforts to increase the delegates endo count.
~Eastern New England appointed Dokansia as the Deputy World Assembly Secretary to assist in the coordination of FA policy.
~The position of Cultural Officer was Linktaken over by Thedairos after Grea Kriopia stepped down. Thank you GK for all your hard work. We look forward to seeing what exciting events Thed has planned for the future!
~Serbianistan, Zaberaz hapang, and Sulenia were all hired as Welcome Buddies by Minister of Education Grea Kriopia to help guide and support new Islanders.

The Liberty Gala

Islanders dressed up in their fanciest suits and ritziest ball gowns to rub shoulders and drink champagne with their fellow defenders at the first ever Liberty Gala. Players from all over NS joined in for the revelry and got to know one another through games of Among Us, impromptu VC parties, and a congo line to other regions' Discord servers. Besides making new friends, players paid respects to old ones, through panels and essays from experienced defenders, as well as an extensive family tree that traced mentor-trainee relationships through several generations.

But it wasn't all fun and games at the Gala, as players were also split into teams to compete in Defender Telephone, Trivia Relay, and a Detag/Chase competition. Players also had a chance to show off their individual skills in trigger jumping and chasing competitions, with results determined by a nail-biting few milliseconds! Despite the competitive nature of these events, players were quick to praise one another and keep their spirits high. In the end Team Obama proved themselves to be the best defenders (or perhaps just the most enthusiastic), and were awarded 1st place in the Defender Games. Though the end of the Gala is bittersweet, everyone returned home with new friends and plenty of fun memories!

Trick or Treat!

XKI went all in to celebrate Halloween this year, with plenty of events to get everyone is a spooky spirit!

~The Cultural Office hosted a LinkRegional Pumpkin Event, in which Islanders could submit different designs for an XKI jack-o'-lantern. The simultaneously beachy and spooky palm tree design, suggested by THX1138 proved to be the region's favorite. Grea Kriopia, in a live pumpkin-carving session, expertly created this Halloween's fantastic LinkRegional Pumpkin
~Chief Executive Markanite called upon Islanders to collect candy in a Trick-or-Treating themed LinkScavenger Hunt that had everyone scouring the forums for candy. Margaux proved themselves to be the most adept candy-hunter, finding an amazing 928 sweets, and winning 50,000 tacos as a prize! Wischland and Free Las Pinas also showed their candy finding skills, coming in second and third place respectively.
~The region didn't let the fun stop during Z-Day's zombie incursions. Islanders worked together to cure the zombie plague and save one another's nations, coordinating in Discord and the regional RMB. Player's cure spamming saved trillions of lives, and placed XKI on the Z-Day rankings at #13 for most survivors, and #5 for Most Survivors + No Quarantine. Meanwhile Louisistan led zombie-loving nation to spread the undead scourge from 10000 Zombies to the rest of the world. Whatever side Islanders took, they had a blast working with another to deal with the zombie threat.

Around the Islands

~Margaux was named LinkRookie of the Quarter. Besides his service as Secretary of state, Deputy Senator for Himes West, in TITO, and as a recruiter, Margaux has been a fixture on the forum and Discord, bringing joy to all with his formality and respectful discourse. Congratulations Margaux on the well-deserved award!
~Islanders sallied over the The Union of Democratic States to spend the weekend socializing with friends there. Members of XKI and UDS got together to play a variety of games and roleplay together in a mutual Linkstory-building event. Laughter and camaraderie abounded, and Islanders returned home with lots of new friends.
~Senator for Lyonnesse East Thedairos held the LinkHouse Shield and Cup Competition, in which recruiters from XKI's different houses competed to contact and recruit as many new nations as possible. Led by the recruiting machine also known as United Counties of Escanaba, the House of Improving Wordiness took both the House Cup and House Shield. The House Sceptre went to the House of Aersoldorf thanks to Free Las Pinas's high recruiting success rate. Congratulations to the winning Houses and thank you to all recruiters!
~October's Link Featured Nation was Zaberaz hapang whose excellent work as a Welcome Buddy and recruiter shows their diligence and commitment to making XKI an even better region. Keep up the good work ZH, we can't wait to see what you'll do next!
~Following HumanSanity's assumption of the Delegacy, October saw an Endorsement Drive to get HS's endo count up to an ambitious 500 endorsements. Although HS's endo count was still a bit short by the end of the month, the hard work of TIBOE prompted over 30 nations to give HS their endorsement, with more sure to come soon.
~The A Taco Archipelago International Convention concluded after a month of excellent roleplaying and nation-development, all hosted by Wille-Harlia and Thedairos. Islanders were asked to create factbooks on their nation's military, design a map for their nation, and even write a battle speech! The convention ended with a bevy of awards and congratulations for each event winner.

XKI Game-Side

A poll by Jabberwocky asked Islanders to pick which dinosaur they would save from extinction. Following lots of dino-based discussion in the RMB the Brontosaur and Raptors both proved popular.

There were lots of good vibes in the RMB this month:

~A Cheerful Hello
~Corruption? Who's She?
~Blessed by the Easter Bunny
~Prepare for the Elephant Rebellion
~We all know where Mozambique is
~THX is hip and with it
~NS Deep Fake
~"Good" is subjective
~The wonders of nature

Poet Laureate Competition

Aspiring poets of the region once again competed in October's LinkPoet Laureate Contest, with poems centered on the theme of regret. After two tied votes, Margaux was declared winner of the competition with their poem "The Quiet Throne".

On top you stand alone,
and you have given everything to get there.
You sit on this lonely throne,
and you wonder, was it all fair.

How many dreams did you crush?
Who was hurt during your rise?
Because it was all a rush,
or was it all a bunch of lies.

They told you to be the best,
But did they tell you about the pain?
The endless time put into the contest,
through the snow, mud, and rain.

You pushed your friends and family away,
and only walked a lone path.
You hold the darkness at bay,
ever feeling life's wrath.

The aches and pain of it all,
never seem to disappear.
There is no one for you too call,
as you sit here in fear.

You look back and wonder,
what was it all for?
And as you hear the thunder,
what if you chose a different door?

Until next month, your XKI Update Staff is signing off – Wischland

Before you've even had a chance to adapt to a pair of new Senators, it's already time for another election, which is a way of life in XKI. No sooner had the doors of the Election Board opened than incumbent Senator of Himes West, Wille-Harlia (TCP), who doubles as Deputy Cartographer General, announced his intent to run again. He has been joined in the ring by a contestant who has only been in XKI since spring, Zaberaz hapang (WIP), who continues the recent infusion of new political blood. Both candidates delivered stirring speeches extolling their own virtues and agendas, found here:
10000islands.proboards.com/board/118/10000-islands-election-board. Voting soon commenced, with WH jumping out to a commanding lead and tallying 60% of the vote.

The seat for Lyonesse East, currently held by Thedairos, is being contested this time by Aschente…or will be, once Asche has an opponent. Alas, said fictional opponent failed to materialize, enabling Mr. A to win an easy victory.

It is worth noting that no public officials have been seen intoxicated in public recently.

BUSINESS NEWS

Last month's catastrophic tsunami provided a brief, temporary windfall for those who own Tide Control. But the economic impact was felt farther than investors first anticipated. But rather than steal the thunder from Mortimer M. Mortimer, after whom the famous report is named, we opt to reprint his gilded words.

Those astute Islanders with good memories will remember last month's disastrous tsunami. A reminder, from news reports posted in October's Mortimer Report:

"El Neptuno, an undersea volcano situated out in the middle of the MinnaCaroline Ocean, exploded. This made the seas of the
10000 Islands heave, and created an enormous tsunami!"

Well, as one might expect, a lot of shipping between the various Islands was disrupted because of the damage this did to all the ships at sea. New replacement ship orders were rushed into the Shipyards, with the results eminently predictable - a massive boom in ship construction! Those Islanders that owned Shipyards earned 5,000 tacos for each Shipyard they owned as a result. Below are the specifics.

BEHIND THE NATION

This month's revealing interview spotlights an XKI citizen and TITO member who is known far and wide as The One, The Only Krystalveil.

TMS: What country are you from?
K: Romania - the land of undiscovered beauty.
TMS: What’s the grossest food you ever had to eat to be polite?
K: I didn't have so much of strict parents growing up, therefore, if I didn't like something, I wasn't forced to eat it.
TMS: Who is your favorite musician?
K: Nicki Minaj
TMS: What afterschool activity did you quit as a kid, and why?
K: Chess. I really loved playing chess and even participated in national competitions. Never took home any awards, but it was something I was passionate about. Then I moved in a different city and searched for chess clubs. Found one that was happening in my school, but the teacher started to make fun of my name and then the kids started to bully me as well - I quit after 3 weeks and never played chess ever since. Way to kill my spirit.
TMS: If you could turn the ocean into a liquid other than water, which one would you pick?
K: Tea
TMS: What is your favorite conspiracy theory? And do you believe in it?
K: Recently, one about how 5G antennas are hidden in the masks and help the transmission of Coronavirus. No, I don't believe in it, but I make fun of it with my friends.
TMS: Do you have a favorite author? If you could make them write for any TV show which TV show would it be?
K: Shockingly, I don't have a favourite writer, despite reading a lot of books. I would say Agatha Christie, because her murder mystery books are astonishing. I would have her write for Élite; the plot and writing are exceptional, so I would be curious to see how would she improve an already great plot.
TMS: If you could ban 1 food from the face of the planet what would you ban?
K: Omelette or scrambled eggs - the most disgusting dish ever invented. Don't @ me =)
TMS: What is your favorite hobby?
K: Drawing. I'm pretty good at it.
TMS: Who is your favorite comic book character?
K:  In Romania, comic books weren't as big as in US. But we did have some - Scooby-Doo or Totally Spies to name a few I collected.
TMS: What vice could you never give up?
K:  I don't have a vice, unless you count 20 minute-showers one. That I would never give up.
TMS: If you could be any animal, what animal would you be?
K:  Cat. They reign supreme and sleep all day - ideal life.
TMS: What will be the title of your autobiography?
K: “I was Theodore.”

Thanks for giving our readers such insight. We're sorry to hear about the childhood chess trauma, but perhaps adopting a vice will help ameliorate its effect.


WA SCENE

Sure, our Man On the Scene THX1138 furtively prowls the corridors of power to see what lurks beneath its placid exterior, but he does far more than meets the eye. His percolating brain assimilates what he learns and performs a type of alchemy by delineating the connection between history and current NS affairs. Readers, we implore you to read his analysis of WA affairs, for his interpretation transcends mere reporting and borders upon art. We state our case:

It had really started to look like things were returning to normal in the hallowed halls of the World Assembly. The commissary was full to capacity throughout August and September, and since that's where I pick up my juiciest gossip (and a pretty terrific Salisbury Steak on Wednesdays) it looked like the whole pandemic thing might have finally abated.

Little did I know it wasn't just the germ of ideas filling the corridors of power, and in the blink of an eye, things seem to be worse than ever. Fortunately, I keep a healthy private stash of PPE and hand sanitizer in my janitor closet / office, and with a nice mop-sink about three feet away from my desk, I'm pretty diligent about hand-washing.

I did pop my masked face into the WA writer's room a few times through October, and things were definitely quieter than usual, but I figured everyone had grown so accustomed to working from home during the lockdown that they just decided not having to wear pants to work was the better way.

I was surprised then, when I cracked my October dossier to find just 8 resolutions to discuss, after there had been 14 in each of the two previous months. Not going to complain, since I am somewhat work averse, but it may signify another looming period of quiet in the Assembly. If this second pandemic wave grows any worse, I could be back to skateboarding empty Assembly hallways before I know it. I mean, it's a blast. This place has great rails, but, it's not in the spirit of quidnuncs to be without eaves to drop and tales to tattle.

For October then, eight is enough to fill our lives with love…

GAR#515 "International Bankruptcy Policy": I am always a bit leery when I see resolutions touching into the economic aspects of international relationships. I suppose it's just an inherent mistrust of globalism and 'the man' (aka the Assembly), that I know I need to be aware of, when reviewing. That means giving resolutions like this one more than one read and making sure I'm giving them proper consideration. After getting past my insta-repulsion, this one seemed pretty good, establishing civil practices and a common farming around bankruptcies that have implications across borders. 85% support in passing.

SCR#327 Condemn Raionitu: Although it has 'condemn' in the title, this resolution was just a raider love letter. It really didn't even try to conceal the condemnation-but-really-a-commendation approach, and dogsh*t like this continues to clutter the SC and exploit voters who simply don't understand that what they are actually voting for is a secret-handshake badge of honour to the worst among us. This one landed just on the wining side of 50% and would be an easy pick-off for any author looking for their first repeal. Just call it what it is, and it'll disappear.

GAR#516 "Repeal 'Ban on Sterilisation of Minors etc'": The Assembly has spent an obscene amount of time on this particular subject, and the many, many cyclical iterations of the same law continuously get repealed for pretty much the same reasons. No tears were shed when this repeal passed with 77% support and let us all hope that we never have to hear about sterilized minors ever again.

GAR#517 "Repeal 'World Assembly Trade Rights'": IA dug deep into the long ago to hoist out this corpse and check its teeth. Cavities were abundant, and given that this is right in IA's wheelhouse, he set to drilling. The repeal passed easily, with 92% support, and there is likely a comprehensive replacement in the waiting room.

SCR#328 "Commend Kuriko": It turns out that my theory that Kuriko was being held hostage to a replacing commendation, as a means to inspire greater activity, may have been a bit off the mark. In fact, it all happened very quickly, and there's no denying this one is the better of the two. 84% showed love, and the other 16% made some sort of political statement that no one cared about.

GAR#518 "Reducing Disease Vectors": I had some reservations about this resolution, and felt it could lead to some haphazard uses of pesticides that might threaten friendly pollinators. Most voters, however, hate mosquitos enough that nothing else matters, and 80% checked the vector, Victor.

SC "Condemn Northern Borland" (did not pass): In character, sort of, and maybe not, but kind of, and maybe but not really, I think…. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 77% against

GAR#519 "Provisional Rule in Wartime": This resolution sought to set out some ground rules for the treatment of citizens in occupied warzones, and on the face of it, it looked like a fair bit of common sense rules to prevent mistreatment. My hang-up with it was that it framed warfare in a somewhat antiquated way. In a more modern context, where warriors often blend back into the population after occupation, but continue to wage battle, this resolution becomes less fitting. Despite those misgivings, it's good legislation, and passed with 73% of the vote.

That's it, that's all…like I said, light month. We'll see what November brings.


ASK SANDY
Featuring
Sandy Shoals

Dear Sandy:
I am a 23 year old female, single, straight and dating. There is a guy at work I was really interested in, and I was super happy when he asked me out. The first date was fun. We both had a good time, and we've been out twice since, but here's the problem. He hasn't even tried to kiss me. Not even a goodnight kiss when he brings me home. I've sent pretty clear signals that I'm attracted to him. I've been flirty, but he's not making his move. Now he wants to go out on a fourth date, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe he's not really into me as more than just someone to hang out with. Should I write him off and move on to someone new?

Sandy: This is a tough spot to be in. Normally I'd say if he hasn't tried to kiss you by the third date, he's just not into you, and to keep dating is just going to start feeling like rejection, but I decided to talk to a couple of my guy friends to see if there's something I might be missing. Turns out there could be other things holding him back. Both of the guys I talked to think he hasn't made a move because you two work together. They say if he keeps asking you out, he's definitely into you, but he could be nervous about things getting more physical because it could cause problems at the job. If you're going to be making a decision about whether or not to continue seeing this guy, it's something you should be thinking about too. Both of my friends suggest that you should bring it up and get it all out on the table on your next date. Not a very romantic approach for a girl who just wants the man to take the lead, but under the circumstances, it might be the best way to establish safe boundaries for both of you. Be a little subtle about it, and it might open the door to the kiss you've been longing for. If you have 'the talk' and there's still no smooching by the end of the night, move on.

Having marital problems? Need advice for the lovelorn? Personal or career changes on your mind? Ask Sandy Shoals!


POET LAUREATE

Since the first installment of the Poet Laureate Contest W-A-A-Y back in 2011, Aersoldorf has won the competition an outlandish nineteen times. So it's no surprise if our faithful readers expected him to win it again. However, the real surprise was that an upstart sprang from our ranks to wrest the title from Sir Aerso. This time, the winner, who has only been with us since spring, was Margaux, who is also known as our Secretary of State. To our great relief, Margaux gave us permission to share this gem with our readers.

The Quiet Throne

On top you stand alone,
and you have given everything to get there.
You sit on this lonely throne,
and you wonder, was it all fair.

How many dreams did you crush?
Who was hurt during your rise?
Because it was all a rush,
or was it all a bunch of lies.

They told you to be the best,
But did they tell you about the pain?
The endless time put into the contest,
through the snow, mud, and rain.

You pushed your friends and family away,
and only walked a lone path.
You hold the darkness at bay,
ever feeling life's wrath.

The aches and pain of it all,
never seem to disappear.
There is no one for you too call,
as you sit here in fear.

You look back and wonder,
what was it all for?
And as you hear the thunder,
what if you chose a different door?


CULTURAL AFFAIRS

The Cultural Office has been a center of activity of late, featuring numerous events, some of which are in celebration of Halloween. For example, Cultural Officer Thedairos hosted the Halloween Horror Story Event. Minister of Education Grea Kriopia sponsored her first Regional Pumpkin Event. The busy lady also hosted the XKI Minecraft Halloween Event. In the midst of all this activity, new Delegate HumanSanity invited citizens to attend the Liberty Gala, a Soiree in Celebration of Regional Sovereignty. As if that weren't enough to keep you busy, Taco-Island-Charities prompted the Seventh Hahiha Nation Creation, which ties in with the Liberty Gala. It's been a very whirlwind of activity. Keep your eyes peeled for upcoming events.



FLOTSAM AND JETSAM

Let's congratulate Wischland on her appointment as Head of the Knight Mentor Program! We're happy to see an influx of women in positions of responsibility in these Islands.

Senior Senator Controlitia has announced the recipient of the Rookie of the Quarter Q4. The Senator gave a brief but inspiring speech to commemorate the occasion. Rather than paraphrase him, here is his speech:
We are gathered here today to honor[nation] Margaux[/nation] as the new Rookie of the Quarter. Margaux joined the 10000 Islands on the 28th of April, 2020 and the regional forum on the 23rd of May, 2020. Since then, they have the following accomplishments:

He has served as the Secretary of State and Deputy Senator for Himes West.

He has been an active recruiter with over 2,600 telegrams and 79 recruits.

He has participated in over 50 missions -- and specifically in the refound of Iran -- as an active TITO member and has livened up the chat with humor and politeness

He has been an active participant in the Discord and a fixture in our Among Us games

He has also been active in the forum, with over 2,0000 posts, and A Taco Archipelago's RMB and has diligently worked to invigorate roleplay in our region

Margaux was the featured nation in August.

It is my honor as Senior Senator to present Margaux with the Rookie of the Quarter award.
