The Iglesian Archipelago is for now in problems because there are lots of events and then there are problems about the start and end dates of this cultural programme. There some of the proposals:

- 1st August, 2008 to 1st March, 2009 (the longest proposed date for now);
- 25th July, 2008 to 25th January, 2009;
- 20th August, 2008 to 20th February, 2009.

Although these dates, Los Vientos will be on that one of these start and end dates the centre of the culture in the NationStates.

Date: 1st August, 2008, to 1st March, 2009.

Inscriptions for another countries are still open until 1st January, 2009 (RL time).

I want to make the Culturforum one of the biggest cultural events on the whole NationStates.

Okay, could some-one tell me what this is and how the bloody hell it works?

Simple. You can invite the greatest artists from your countries to the Iglesian Archipelago! Here, you can say what they are doing.

No, I meant how does one RP something like this.

You can write here.

COME ON, Culturforum is waiting for you!

er, Swilatia in?

OK. You are welcome (always countries are welcome to the Culturforum!)!

Could we send a group of Native Tyhlanc And Cdunodammanc (Dancers And Storytellers) to your event?

Yes, of course!

sweet as.

Now that i'm signed up and all, can I have an explaination of what we do?

You can write here what they are doing now, and important news can also being written on NSwiki.

Esperantujo 2 would like to present films in its official language, Esperanto. We will also like to send our natioal folk-dancing troupe, La Forpelusilferonanoj.

Welcome to the Culturforum!

You can put your critics about this event on the NSwiki now!

but we have no idea what is happening at this event!

Everything related to culture.

Iglesian entries are shown at the start of this topic, but MUCH, much more.

That doesn't show much about the programme. Just like presenting a list of songs is not enough for a WorldVision, we want to see the songs before we vote on them. There doesn't seem to be any RP-ing here.

BTW, if you wanna continue this discussion, it would be best to do it thru TG's, so the thread doesn't get too flooded with OOC discussion.

Edward City will be organising an exposition about the nation's history and it's future called 'Edward City: from the Tribes to the Federation and beyond', as well as a cult film exposition called 'Edwardian Movie Culture' with the following movies to be shown: 'The Shadow at the Balcony' (Horror:1995), 'The Camera' (Action: 2003), 'The Riverside Connection' (Drama: 2001), 'Clash of Worlds' (Science-Fiction: 1957), 'Overrun' (Horror: 2008), 'Me and You' (Romantic: 1998), 'Chase in the Port' (Comedy: 1989), 'Escape from Dead Island' (Horror: 2000), 'Starship Artemis' (Science Fiction: 1999) and 'The Final Hours of Battleship Agnora' (Action: 1968). More movies will be added soon.

Edwardian films and expositions are very welcome to the Culturforum!

Can you invite to the Culturforum one of the most well-known plastic artists in Yakers Mekers, Parch Volante?

Yes, of course, he's very welcome!

We will be sending Swilatia's recent films and popular music. More info later.

Welcome!

I'll announce that the countries' inscriptions will end in a month. After it, inviting artists from inscribed countries is OK!

Also, I wanted to say that the "Christmas Book Fair" started and it will end on 6th January, 2009.

I wanted that broadcasters notice this happening, please!

Can you invite Carlos Oliveira, a comediant from Castelo Alto, please?

Yes, of course, he is very welcome!

I'll announce that the countries' inscriptions will end in a month. After it, inviting artists from inscribed countries is OK!

A whole just to name participants? WTF?

Yes, but important things must also being described here.

Hey, when Culturforum continues?

LOOK AT TIME!!!!!! Look at the limit day of the inscriptions: it's 1st January!

The preparations for the New Year at Culturforum started today. It's estimated that there will be space for 150 thousand people.

Well, we can't really RP this, since, well, we don't know how.

Also, Iglesian, a timescale of NS time = RL time in a multi-nation RP is not going to fly.

But I prefer like this: I like travelling by RL world time.

But for the next edition I will think better about the time: then there will be not Culturforum 2010-2011, but yes Culturforum II, and from a different way to start, something the same as WorldVision: signups will be written before the starting of a new edition, with votes for hosting the edition.

I will change an idea: the signups will be illimited and there will be no limit date, since we have no sufficient number of countries inscribed on the event on a part of NationStates.

But also I think it shouldn't have a limit date of signups on the next editions.

I'm not interested in taking a whole year to do this. That would be too long. Hell, signups for this have been going on for almost a year, it's high time we take steps toward closing them.

If you like RL time so much... your "Great War" thingy was about 6 years long. If you were to RP it, would you actually take the whole 6 years to do so? I wouldn't. I don't even think NS has been online for that long.

Also, what do you consider a "sufficient" number of countries? I could enter my puppets, but I don't know what to send for them.

Let me think what I should do, please, and then let's do what I'm planning, if it's time to close or not.

Let me think what I should do, please, and then let's do what I'm planning, if it's time to close or not.

You didn't answer my questions...

Sufficient is a reasonable number of things: in this case, of nations.

The Great War is a thing of the Past, not the Present!

Due to the strong pressure of Swilatia to close this event, this edition of the Culturforum will end in the New Year Day. The Christmas illuminations are still illuminated until 6th January, but the Culturforum will close this edition in the first day of 2009.

I supposed that before the start it should be created a thread for the next host cities. The thread will be created today. Signups from another nations still can be made during the next event.
