Hello to everyone! I will endorse every nation that endorses me! Let's make our region stronger!

Great! Our SWAN program's dispatch below should help you achieve your goal.

.

.

Endorse everyone in this region in under 20 minutes!

One of the easiest ways to get awards and increase your nation's endorsement count and influence very quickly is to endorse a lot of nations in this region, this activity is called endotarting. In this guide, you will learn how to endorse everyone in this region in under 20 minutes using the fastest publicly-available method!

How to find nations to endorse:

  • Use an endotarting tool like Linkthis website. Just enter your nation name and region name (The South Pacific) and the site will spit out a list of nations you haven't endorsed in the region yet (This list is updated every 24 hour).

  • Use the below list of all current WA nations in the region. Only use this list as an backup option.

There are too many nations, how do I endorse all of them fast?

  • Step 1: Install a browser extension that provides keyboard shortcuts for NationStates such as Breeze++ (LinkChrome, LinkFirefox).

  • Step 2: Click on a bunch of nations on the endotarting tool's list or the below list while holding the Ctrl key (or clicking the middle mouse button, or pressing your track-pad with three fingers) to open them in individual tabs.

  • Step 3: Press the E or C on your keyboard to endorse the nation in a tab.

  • Step 4: Press Ctrl+Tab to switch to another tab and repeat step 3.

  • Step 5: Press Ctrl+W to close a tab.

  • Step 6: Open another bunch of nations and repeat.

With these steps, you can endorse the entire region in max 20 minutes.

Optional: Each time you endorse a nation, send a telegram to ask that nation to endorse you back.

The endotarting tool's list is only updated every 24 hour but the order of nations doesn't change. if you're too tired but don't want to wait for the next day to have an updated list, remember the last nation you've endorsed and resume your endorsement work from that nation on the list.

Isle of glastonbury wrote:Hello to everyone! I will endorse every nation that endorses me! Let's make our region stronger!

You shouldn't ask for endorsements on the RMB.
It would be good if you read our RMB rules first, in order to save your future posts from suppresion by one of our Local Councillors.

RMB Rules and Etiquette

by The tsp local council

Hello! Welcome to the South Pacific, and its regional message board, or RMB! It is a vibrant, active place where people from all around the world can hang out and talk. It is the region's primary place of communication, and is open to all types of conversations, debates, and overall fun. However, without some form of rules, the RMB would be a wild, annoying, and downright un-enjoyable place. And so, due to this, rules must be laid down and enforced. These are important to protect everyone's safety, dignity, and sanity. So we all ask that you please take the time to read the following rules, and try your hardest to follow them. Remember, there are consequences for breaking the rules.

Note: The “Fundamental Rule” portion of each guideline is meant as a summary of the rule. The official text of the rule may be found in the “Details” spoiler.

Breaking these rules can result in consequences including warnings, post suppressions, and in the the case of repeated or serious infractions, ejection and banning from the region. The full, detailed Local Council Standard Moderation Policy, which specifies the exact consequences for various levels of rule-breaking, can be found here.

And so, after much introduction, here are your RMB Rules:

1. Say Neigh to Spam

Fundamental Rule: Don't spam. Spamming is bad. It is the first rule for a reason.

Details:
Spamming on the RMB is not allowed at all, under any circumstances. Spamming is probably best described as a post that is meaningless and/or unnecessary— for example, a post that repeats the same thing multiple times, a lone emoji or image, multiple posts of the same thing, or a series of posts that have no apparent meaning. It does not matter what your intent is— if your post(s) fits the above definition, it is considered spam and will be dealt with accordingly.

2. English is our Mane Language

Fundamental Rule: Posts on the Regional Message Board must be in English, or include an English translation.

Details:
We understand that many of you come from backgrounds where English is not your main language, as players come from all around the world. However, to avoid confusion among people who don't speak your language, we sincerely ask that you post in English only, for ease of communication.

Remember, there are tools like LinkGoogle Translate to help you. If you speak in another language, please add a translation to English in the same post. Posts with English translations will not be suppressed. For the avoidance of doubt, English means Modern English and not backwards English.

3. Keep Our Region Stable

Fundamental Rule: Don’t ask for people to endorse you on the Regional Message Board. Don’t ask for people to move to another region.

Details:
Asking for endorsements on the RMB is not allowed at all, under any circumstances. Ever. Permissions are only made if the requester is a member of the Council on Regional Security, the Coral Guard, or the Delegate seeking to increase endorsement counts for the purposes of promoting regional security.

If you want to receive and give more endorsements, get involved in the Southern World Assembly Initiative, TSP’s endorsement program.

Similarly, recruiting, or telling people to move to another region, is also not allowed. You may not ask people to join your region on the RMB, whether you are also a South Pacifican citizen yourself or not.

4. So a Horse walks into a bar ...

Fundamental Rule: Roleplay on the Regional Message Board, but do not break any other rules. If you're feeling nice or your roleplay is a bit niche or particularly nation driven, please consider taking your roleplaying to Knowhere.

Details:
It's all legal! As long as it complies with the rules. Specifically; remember to keep your roleplays appropriate (as stated in rule IX). The LC has reached a general conclusion on what is appropriate, and if your roleplay does not fit within those boundaries, it will be stopped. So, excessive display of affection, sexually-suggesting roleplay, and the like, are not allowed at all.

Similarly, do not clog the RMB with your roleplay. If you feel it has been going on for a while, either take it to a roleplay region, or cease it all together. Otherwise, it may be interfered with. When the board is dominated by roleplay, it becomes hard for everyone else to communicate with each-other, thanks to the overabundance of posts completely unrelated to what they are doing.

But other than those things, feel free to roleplay to your heart's content!

5. Hold your Horses

Fundamental Rule: Don’t post on the Regional Message Board three times or more in a row.

Details:
Triple posting, or posting three posts in a row, is considered illegal, as are any other number of posts more than two in a row. All posts after the initial two post will be suppressed. If one hour has passed without another post on the RMB a single third post will be allowed

6. Keep your nose in your own feedbag

Fundamental Rule: Don’t reveal other players’ personal information.

Details:
It is not permitted to post or otherwise share another player's personally-identifying information (i.e. social media accounts, IP addresses, postal addresses, E-mail addresses, telephone numbers, etc.), and neither is it permitted to post or share information that may not be identifying but is nonetheless of a personal nature (i.e. medical history, relationship status, etc.). The only exception is if the player in question has shared that information themselves and does not mind its dissemination (this sharing or statement of permission must be publically viewable).

Making a claim of serious out-of-character misconduct (e.g. bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, etc.) against someone else, without providing evidence to moderation/administration, is considered malicious harassment, and will be dealt with accordingly. This rule applies to the TSP forum and discord as well.

7. Get Off Your High Horse

Fundamental Rule: Trolling, baiting or flaming of others is not allowed under any circumstances.

Details:
Trolling is defined as starting quarrels or upsetting people by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages with the intent of provoking other nations into displaying emotional responses. Baiting is similar to trolling, and is defined as posting with the aim of angering someone indirectly, directed at a specific person. Flaming is defined as posting insults or other verbal and often personal attacks on other nations. Erudite slams while maintaining a veneer of politeness can also be considered flaming. All three of these are banned under all circumstances.

This is an extension of a simple policy of respect. What may seem like good natured fun to you could be trolling to someone else, and if they tell you to stop, do so.
We can and will warn, suppress, and even ban you, as well as record the incident. In severe cases the NationStates Moderators will be contacted, and puppets will not hide your IP address from them.

8. You Canter Break Site Rules

Fundamental Rule: No matter where you are in NationStates, the rules for the game still apply.

Details:
TSP is a part of NationStates, and as such, you must follow the rules of the game as a whole at all times. Breaking the game rules will land you in trouble with both the regional officers and NationStates site moderation. See the link below for the list of rules and a quick FAQ page for more details on the game rules.

NationStates Rules

NationStates FAQ

9. Mind Your Dam Manners

Fundamental Rule: Don’t post anything that would not be allowed in a PG-13 movie.

Details:
Excessive swearing, explicit, suggestive, or excessively violent messages, sexual references, and other such things will be suppressed on sight, and the NationStates site moderators can and will be called to get involved in serious cases. Excessive displays of personal affection (e.g. suggestive roleplayed snuggling, nuzzling, kissing, licking and so on) is also considered inappropriate and will be suppressed accordingly.

Mild swearing may be tolerated, mild sexuality may be at the very most hinted, but explicit or excessive versions of either or both will result in moderation intervention, both from the Local Council and potentially from NationStates site moderators. Derogatory terms are disallowed, and all swearing must abide by all other rules, particularly those about respecting others.

10. Straight from the horse’s mouth

Fundamental Rule: Do not edit someone's post in a malicious way or repost offensive content.

Details:
It is illegal to edit what someone else has written when quoting it in order to make it seem like they expressed a view which they didn’t. Quote-editing should be avoided even for comic effect.

When you are responding to someone's post, please quote their post (by pressing the "quote" button), as it makes it less confusing and will alert them to your post.

When quoting an offensive post, delete the content of the post and replace it with "-snip-". Doing so makes the administrators’ jobs much easier.

When quoting long posts, please cut the post down to the particular parts you are responding to, or replace the extraneous material with "-snip-".

11. Crop Your Post

Fundamental Rule: Use spoilers when making or quoting a very long post.

Details:
The [spoiler] tag is your friend. When making or quoting a very long post, or one which not everyone might want to read, please add spoilers, so as to avoid taking up a large amount of the page.

If you are giving a spoiler of a recently released book or film, put it in a spoiler tag, to give people who haven't read/watched it a chance. As a general rule of thumb, give a month for films post-release (as release dates may be different in different areas) and two months for book releases.

12. Rein In Rudeness

Fundamental Rule: The golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated.

Details:
Remember, there are other, real people behind the nations on the RMB. Everyone here is a human being with emotions and the right to be respected.

While dissent with regional officers (LC, Delegate, CRS, and Ministers) is perfectly acceptable, remember that they are people too, and worthy of basic human decency. The regional officers should be respected at all times just as any other member of the region should.

When debating, always remember to attack the argument rather than the person making it. If you find yourself getting heated, try to take a step back. Personal insults, insults to intelligence, etc. will not be tolerated. The only form of debate banned on the RMB is that over a particular suppression. For more information, see the Help Section at the end of this document.

13. Don't Ride on Foals

Fundamental Rule: Single word or similarly short posts are not appreciated on the RMB.

Details:
Single word posts that do not advance conversation are not allowed. If you find yourself wondering if a post is both unsubstantial and too short, it likely is. This rule does not mean you have to post several paragraphs of content every time you want to post. Single sentence posts, single word greetings, and single-word replies quoting other posts are still allowed under this rule.

However, at the discretion of the Local Council, posts deemed to be insubstantial and not contributing to the regional discourse will be suppressed. An excellent way to avoid this is to add thought to your posts.

Thank you for reading, and remember to follow these guidelines!

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy your stay here in TSP!

~~~HELP!~~~

If you believe a post breaks the rules and should be suppressed, wish to appeal to have a post unsuppressed, wish to appeal a formal warning, or have any questions about the laws of the RMB, you can contact your current Local Councillors through telegrams:

TescoPepsi
Petea
Evinea

OR

Lodge complaints or comments with the following nation:

The tsp local council

This nation is controlled by the LC, ensuring all Local Councillors can see your complaints or comments. Remember, the rules of respect apply to telegrams as well as the RMB.

Official moderation appeals must follow the process laid out in the Standard Moderation Policy dispatch.

Endorse everyone in this region in under 20 minutes!

One of the easiest ways to get awards and increase your nation's endorsement count and influence very quickly is to endorse a lot of nations in this region, this activity is called endotarting. In this guide, you will learn how to endorse everyone in this region in under 20 minutes using the fastest publicly-available method!

How to find nations to endorse:

  • Use an endotarting tool like Linkthis website. Just enter your nation name and region name (The South Pacific) and the site will spit out a list of nations you haven't endorsed in the region yet (This list is updated every 24 hour).

  • Use the below list of all current WA nations in the region. Only use this list as an backup option.

There are too many nations, how do I endorse all of them fast?

  • Step 2: Click on a bunch of nations on the endotarting tool's list or the below list while holding the Ctrl key (or clicking the middle mouse button, or pressing your track-pad with three fingers) to open them in individual tabs.

  • Step 3: Press the E or C on your keyboard to endorse the nation in a tab.

  • Step 4: Press Ctrl+Tab to switch to another tab and repeat step 3.

  • Step 5: Press Ctrl+W to close a tab.

  • Step 6: Open another bunch of nations and repeat.

With these steps, you can endorse the entire region in max 20 minutes.

Optional: Each time you endorse a nation, send a telegram to ask that nation to endorse you back.

The endotarting tool's list is only updated every 24 hour but the order of nations doesn't change. if you're too tired but don't want to wait for the next day to have an updated list, remember the last nation you've endorsed and resume your endorsement work from that nation on the list.

I tried that once. It took a very long time.

...I just checked and I'm only endorsing 95% of our WA nations. Sadly...I don't really feel like going through everyone to see who I'm missing at the moment.

Melicorium wrote:What's the best NationStates-related thing you can flex?

The best I have is that I'm friends with MoMA Fihami and outgoing LC Proctethia. -_-

what about the fact that you are amazing at creating propaganda for things? Or picking up a freaking 6s manual chase on your first try?

Soepokewlxd wrote:ive realized the best way to not get taxed or invaded is not chatting :)

Nations can't invade other nations except by roleplay, my friend. Nations can invade other regions though that's called raiding and there are others that defend against them (like yours truly and the rest of my SPSF and other defender friends). As for taxes, that's based on your issues answering.

We're friendly people I promise! Don't be afraid to chat with us! ;-;

Suppress Auphelia for using non-English in the poll.

1. Aww, thanks! <3
Yeah, I know. I react to things pretty quickly.
And I use freaking MS paint.
2. Yes, Soepokewlxd, join the SPSF, or some random regions will fall into the hands of some strange black birds of prey, a pack of introverted wolves, or maybe even some rainbow flowers.
And yes, the TSP community is awesome!

Oh wow, that's quite a bit higher than here...

My proposal to the LC on the revision of the LC Election Act and a begin a process to designate it as a constitutional law:

Auphelia, Proctethia I submit this possible update to the Local Council Election Act and request the sitting Local Council exercise its authority under Article 13.2 of the Charter (... the Local Council may originate amendments to its constitutional structure, which must be debated and voted upon in the Assembly) to present the following proposal for approval of game side, and if passed, summitted to the Assembly for designation as a constitutional Law. Of course, if it is amended by the Assembly it would have to return to gameside for final approval. It's not a fast process by any means but I think it would finally resolve a number of issues.

This proposal reflects four aims:
1. clarify that only one elimination round is required when there are exactly 12 candidates,
2. restrict onsite elections to native, World Assembly Nations,
3. replace the term resident with member, and restore a slightly streamlined vacancy replacement process that I believe will align with the recent High Court rulings.
4. and entrenches process to accommodate votes by members of the the SPSF with identical language in the terms approved by the High Court in Delegate on site election rounds.

Of course, the sitting LC is free to debate and amend this proposal prior to presenting it to the region for approval in a on site poll (I would note that on site legislative polls apparently can still be conducted with native, WA restrictions in place). I think these changes would address a lot of issues the on site community currently faces as it relates to the lack of constitutional status and clauses continuing to be found in violation of other constitutional laws. Once you both agree on final terms, I implore you to present the amendments to the onsite community in a onsite poll to begin this process.

Local Council Elections Act
An act detailing elections for Local Council

1. Timing of Elections
(1) Local Council Elections will be held every July, November, and March. The exact date will be decided by the sitting Local Council, but the nominations period must start at some point during these months.

2. Election Commission
(1) An Election Commissioner will be appointed by the Council on Regional Security to administer all Local Council elections.

(2) The Commissioner will be responsible for the communication of election notices, the organization of election dispatches, the verification of candidate eligibility, the administration of election polls, counting and verifying cast ballots, and certifying results.

(3) The Commissioner may not run for office or hold the office of Delegate, Prime Minister, or Cabinet Minister or Local Councilor, during their tenure as Commissioner.

(4) The Commissioner will be a permanent position and shall be replaced as needed due to inactivity or ineligibility by the Council on Regional Security.

(5) Any election-related disputes will be arbitrated by the Election Commissioner; should the dispute be on a matter of law, the Commissioner shall refer it to the High Court. The Commissioner will not finalize any election until all disputes have been settled.

3. Candidate Eligibility
(1) A candidate may only run for one seat on the Local Council.

(2) Candidates must receive and accept a nomination on the Regional Message Board from a member of The South Pacific that is not their own account or controlled or accessible by the candidate nominated. The acceptance post must quote the nominating post in full and mention the Election Commissioner using nation tags. Nominations and declined nominations need not tag the Election Commissioner.

(3) To be eligible, a candidate must be a member of The South Pacific, and all candidates must file a full Conflict of Interest disclosure to the Election Commissioner, fully listing all nations they control and can access and disclosing any positions held in other regions.

(4) The Election Commissioner shall share the Conflict of Interest Disclosure with the Council on Regional Security to allow a security check.

(5) The CRS can prevent any candidate from running if they deem them to be a security threat.

(6) Candidates shall publicly post their Conflict of Interest disclosure in a dispatch, which may be their campaign dispatch. At the request of the candidate The Minister of Military Affairs may authorize the waiving of the public disclosure of nations participating in South Pacific Special Forces operations. In such cases the public disclosure should state that SPSF participating nations are not listed as authorized by the Minister of Military Affairs. The Minister of Military Affairs shall confirm this by sending confirmation to the Election Commissioner.

(7) If, at any time before the election is certified, the Election Commissioner or the Council on Regional Security determines a candidate's Conflict of Interest Disclosure is not fully truthful, or the CRS determines a candidate represents a security threat, the candidate will be disqualified from the election.

(8) An intentional deception or omission in a Conflict of Interest, or knowingly abetting in another's claims to a false identity, wherein this fraud threatens the security of The South Pacific, or circumvents the laws and legal processes of The South Pacific, including the electoral process described in this Act, shall constitute Identity Fraud and be subject to referral for prosecution by the Election Commissioner or Council on Regional Security.

(9) Any Local Councilor can serve a maximum of two consecutive terms. If they serve that maximum, they must wait for one full term before they can run in a regularly scheduled election for the Local Council again. Any member of cabinet must wait one full Local Council term after leaving the cabinet before they can run in a regularly scheduled election for the Local Council.

4. Election Process
(1)Prior to the opening of the first voting period of the LC election, there will be a period of three days where members can nominate candidates, and candidates can accept nominations, which will commence after a region-wide telegram sent by the Election Commissioner announcing the opening of nominations. This will be followed by three days where candidates can campaign, which will commence after a region-wide telegram sent by the Election Commissioner announcing the close of nominations and start of the campaign.

(2) The election will consist of two on site polls, open to Native World Assembly members, each lasting three days. The first past the post winner of the first poll will be elected onto the Local Council, and all remaining candidates will move on to the next poll, where the top two candidates will be elected.

(3) If there are three candidates or fewer, all candidates will be automatically elected. Electees shall fill any remaining spaces on the Local Council under the terms outlined in Article 5 of this Act.

(4) Re-open nominations (RON) must be an option on both normal voting periods. If there are more than eleven candidates running, elimination rounds shall take place to reduce the field of candidates proceeding to the two normal voting rounds to eleven as follows
a. If there are exactly twelve candidates then a three day elimination poll, open to Native World Assembly members, will be conducted with the top eleven vote-receiving candidates continuing onto the set of normal voting periods.
b. If there are more than twelve candidates, the field will be split into three day elimination polls, open to Native World Assembly members, with the top eleven vote-receiving candidates over all such polls proceeding to the two normal voting rounds.

(5) In the event of a tie, all tied candidates will be elected unless the number of Local Councilors is greater than three, in which case there will be a separate three day poll for the tied candidates.

(6) In the event of RON winning a poll, any candidates elected prior to that poll will be allowed to take their place on the Local Council without running again, and the nominations would re-open for the remaining places.

(7) In the event a candidate who has won a round but is later disqualified by the Election Commissioner or the Council on Regional Security, that round’s results are voided and a new round shall be added.

(8) Members of the South Pacific Special Forces who are on deployment for the whole duration of the regional poll are eligible to cast a vote. The Minister of Military Affairs shall provide a list of deployed personnel to the Election Commissioner. Members on the list who send the Commissioner their vote through a telegram and a public post on the Regional Message Board which tags the Election Commissioner and notes who their vote goes towards shall have it added to the final tally.

(9) The terms for the incoming Local Council begin when the Election Commissioner certifies the results and the Delegate assigns Regional Officer Powers, before which any and all election-related disputes must be settled. The outgoing Local Council will maintain their offices until then.

5. Vacancies of Office
(1) A special election will be held for vacancies arising within the Local Council, if more than half of the term remains. If less than half of the term remains, or the position is vacant due to a lack of candidates as outlined in Article 4, the Local Council may appoint a replacement until the next regularly scheduled election.
a. If the Local Council does not name a replacement within one week of the vacancy the Delegate may appoint a replacement or call a special election.

(2) Special Elections shall follow the same procedures outlined in this Act except the candidate restrictions in the terms of Article 3, clause 9 on term limited Local Councilors and Former Cabinet Ministers are waived. Such persons are allowed to run in Special Elections.

6. Separation of Powers
(1) Offices of the Coalition are the Delegate, the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers, the Chair of the Assembly, Local Councilors, the Chief Justice, and any of their appointed deputies. For clarity, positions under a Deputy in rank, such as interns and advisors, are eligible to run for Local Council.

(2) It is not permitted for any individual to hold more than one office within the Coalition's government.

(3) It is permitted to seek election or appointment to new office while holding an existing office.

(4) Election or appointment to a new office constitutes explicit resignation of an existing office.

7. Constitutional Law

(1) The Local Council Election Act is a constitutional law, and further amendments to it must meet constitutional amendment requirements.
