Trust me the “I was only joking” excuse won’t wash if Moderation got involved. Maybe you need a refresher course on our RMB Rules.

Hi, welcome to the West Pacific. Please have a read of our New Player’s Guide for dome hints and tips on how to play the game.

Thought you were a new nation - should’ve checked before posting.

Hi! I'm a new nation but not new to nationstates. Glad to find another pirate nation around here!

Glad to know it’s a common occurrence across the various pacifics, but it’s still a sad excuse no matter. Hello TWP, hear you made another person foam at the mouth and get banned BBD, are you keeping a score?

Hi Drystar. Snark is acceptable, getting close to insulting people is not.

I assume the foaming refers to Zetronis? Their defence seems to be that I deserve it. I certainly had no interaction with them before they decided to take a shot at me on Carcassonne’s RMB.

Yeah, I hear the horror stories and laugh. I’m sure you’re more a terror then I am, but we both have our admirers. Can’t say they didn’t deserve it, I gave them a bundle of chances over in TSP, which they never embraced.

Just remembered I banned an alt of theirs from TWP about a month ago, based on their record. An alt which was later DEATed by Moderation. They’re consistent to say the least.

If don’t see y’all later,

Good afternoon, Good evening, and Good night.

This looks interesting

BBD’s (Impromptu) Astronomy Spot

Aurora Alert
On Saturday morning a long duration X1 flare was emitted by a pair of sunspot groups with an associated Earth directed coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME was due to arrive sometime early tomorrow morning (UTC) but hurried on a bit faster than expected hitting the Earth’s magnetic field this afternoon.

A geomagnetic storm has been in progress ever since, reaching severe levels at times. While it has subsided at the moment it could still pick up again as the CME passes the Earth.

There is a potential for auroras to be visible in the northern USA and Canada after dark despite bright moonlight. If your skies are clear go out and look to the north.

As for me I’m completely clouded out!

Edit: an important factor in getting auroras is the direction of the north-south component (Bz) of the magnetic field embedded in the CME. If it points south then it can reconnect with the Earth’s magnetic field and let charged particles into the polar regions sparking auroras.

Unfortunately it’s pointing north at the present time. However, this website shows the current direction of Bz so if it goes south head out and look.

Drystar, I am a fan of you and BBD. I love you both!

Edit: having checked your RMB posts in Karma and Europe I’m going to conclude that my request above is going to be ignored so meet Mr Trebuchet.

Idk what to say, first time posting since i joined at January 14

Boris Johnson has flown to Venezuela.

Caracas?

Yes he is.

I saw Sauron and the Ringwraiths at a disco the other day. Yes it was Mordor on the dancefloor.

My school district found a way to screw over our school's chess club...

A few old puns to get the ball rolling.

I used to be a banker, but I lost interest.

A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.

Those dead batteries were given out free of charge.

My ex-wife still misses me. But her aim is starting to improve.

It's hard to explain puns to kleptomaniacs because they always take things literally.

How do you get a nuclear family? By splitting an atom family.

Why can't you trust an atom? Because they make up everything.

BBD, Thank you for the wonderful informative post. I have two sun related questions, if you don’t mind.
  1. What are the chances of a future CME like the Carrington Event happening again? And

  2. Why do the sun and moon have the same apparent size in our sky? Is it just a happy coincidence that solar eclipses occur, or did some gravitational effect cause an exact apparent size duplication during the formation of the Solar System?

I appreciate your knowledge on solar related topics.
