Green Sun is lifting it Prohibition laws temporarily to host the first annual International Wine Contest.

Green Sun will donate its own judge, which is Prince Jordan.
Judges:
1) Jordan (Green Sun)
2) Krimweld (Kanuda)
3)

Wines:
1) Einhauser ((http://www.freewebs.com/test-stories/champa.htm))
2) Allemande ((http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=428582))
3)

((This is actually a Roleplaying judging contest. Send in a sample of your Roleplaying or writing. We will read each and judge it one a scale of 0-5. You do not actually have to of started the RP, nor does it have to be on NationStates. Please provide a direct link. Post IC posts as if you were sending someone or a wine sample to GS for the contest.

Judges: Don't be afraid to be brutally honest with this. Make OOC comments on the RP and IC comments about the wine. Remember, their rank will be one and the same.))

OOC: Bump

OOC:Bump again

(OOC: FT?)

Vintovia sends its 'Eagle Gold' wine, is it the lovingly grown and carefully looked-after? Is it the nearby uranium mine? Who knows. But it sure tastes damn good!

OOC: Modern Tech RP, but samples can be FT. Or you could be a FT nation that sends the samples or judges back in time for the contest. Either one works.
Vintovia: I'll need teh sample!
IC: Green Sun eagerly awaits its arrival and it will be protected under the Green Palace, which is undoubtly the safest civilian place in Green Sun.

(OOC: oki then i'll send a judge)

Kaduna will be sending a judge, the "Kendwina Ales" Coorperation's chief Beer taster, he can tell a pure bred winner from a pile of Kandena turd.

((What's his name?))

((What's his name?))

(OOC: oh i dunno, Krimweld that sounds good enough)

((I just got your nation's name. Kanuda. Hah.))

((I just got your nation's name. Kanuda. Hah.))

(OOC: what? I don't get it?)

((Sounds like Canada only without an N and an A.
Kanaduna.))

(OOC: well despite the fact that my name is Kaduna not Kanuda, it was actually just a random word i invented one day, but according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaduna) Kaduna is infact a Nigerian state and city, but hey Canada is good aswell, at least they still respect the Queens face)

OOC: so, clarifly something for me: Is this a contest where you judge stories that other people have written?

OOC: Yes. The 'wines' are actually RPs and are rated OOCly. The judges take their reviews and translate it to teh wine contest. So this is both an OOC thread and an IC thread. This will actually be important to Green Sun at the end.

OOC: Well, ok, in order to test your system, I have here (http://www.freewebs.com/test-stories/champa.htm) a link to a website where I post random stories I write. Rate away.

The Vintovian Agricultural ministry sends 25 litres of the wine, he hopes that it will be satisfactory.

OOC: I need a link to one of your RPs!

Like any good winemaker, we release our wines under different brand names.

This Pinot Noir (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=428582) is offered under a pair of our private labels... ;)

Hopefully, it will have reached the right fullness by July 16th.

Hopefully we'll have enough entries to start it by July 16th.

(OOC: The start confused me, it wasn't until about midway that I realised that it was about time travel, I would have needed to have read it twice to get the full effect, but i don't have that much time on my hands so I read it once, the end result was very good, i felt as though i needed more and was quite depressed whan it had gone but I wonder is this your Puppet?)

Krimweld took a bottle and began to chug from it, he slammed it down on the table and took a breath out, he then began the Kendwina Alcohol test, he waved his hand in front of his eyes, he could still see good, he stood on one leg, before long he had fallen over, it passed that test, he began to walk off but felt the sudden urge to drink some more, he drank it until there was none left in the bottle and had to ask for some more.

(OOC2: Green sun i wrote this post then saw your reply, ah well, just ignore this post til the 16th)

(OOC2: Green sun i wrote this post then saw your reply, ah well, just ignore this post til the 16th)Yes, I have much more to add... :D

Both nations are my puppets; I'm establishing their places in El Caudillo's TLE (The Latest Earth).

Essentially, each group (Khieu Chea's Khmer Rouge and Narodna Odbrana) is trying to create the future Southeast Asia that they desire. Ultimately, neither will quite succeed, in part because History itself has a certain ... resilience. ;)

(OOC: I trust youve read one of my RP's now? They've been all over the II forum [i started the 'Make Genocide History' movement])

((Not yet. I'll read it on the 16th so it'll be fresh in my mind.))

OOC: Very well. (That was to me right?)

((Yes))

((Bump))

((Bump again))

The deadline for Wines and judges has been bumped to July 21. Einhauser will be disqualified if they don't supply a wine ((RP link that isn't broken)) by that time.
