The Pacific Progress

Welcome to the Pacific Progress
A note for those unfamiliar with this concept (PLEASE READ): This is not a role play thread, but a 'real' (from a gameplay perspective) report on NS events. The events mentioned have either occurred in game, or on regional forums. This style is also not duplicating any other style, other than that of a generic report. Attempts to accuse me of 'ripping' someone off will result in extreme sarcasm. You have been warned.

Internal News

The People's Congress (http://ns.pacificorder.net/forum/index.php?showforum=121) has been created, which allows al Pacifican Citizens to have a greater say in the Internal running of the Pacific, along with the Pacific Reward Points (PRP) system (http://ns.pacificorder.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1030), which allows those who have contributed most to The Pacific to be rewarded. The Pacific Rewards Points ties in uniquely with the People's Congress, with those who have accrued the most points in the appropriate areas being awarded with Positions within The People's Congress. There are also regular elections planned for the position of Congress Chairman, and only those who contribute enough to the Pacific will be able to keep these positions. After an eventful election, Rothinizil was elected the first Congress Chairman. Congratulations!

Pacific Army Activities:

BLH Productions

World Factbook Entry: BLH Productions is now a subordinate region of the New TAO Order.

Many thanks to The Shadowy Darklands of Minininjas and The Dark Arts of The Black Necromancer for helping to secure the region.

The region is slated for Demolition within the next 36 hours.

This region has been secured by the Pacifican Army.

In a training exercise, The Pacific Army helped TAO secure the region BLH Productions which was responsible for some unsightly spam advertising a youtube channel. The original owner of the region, as 7RON, was then banned from The Pacific for this by the delegate Moo-Cows with Guns. In retaliation, the player proceeded to create nations mocking Moo-Cows, and created the region BLH Productions to further advertise the youtube channel. The Player was then reported and deleted for various NS offences.
The region was then taken by TAO, in order to secure it for the New TAO Order. The Pacific Army then moved in to secure the region and ensure it's demolition. The region should soon be demolished.
Unsurprisingly, there has been little outcry to the destruction of such an annoying and pointless region, whose only real function was to break NS rules.

The Genesis Federation:
World Factbook Entry: You attempted to invade The Pacific and you failed. Now feel the wrath of Pacifica.

A few months ago, the Founder of The Genesis Federation, Swarmlandia attempted to take the delegacy of The Pacific (See The Pacific Post 14th Ed (http://ns.pacificorder.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=724) ). Swarmlandia recently ceased to exist, and The Pacific Army was swift to take it revenge. Despite interference from Userites from Equinox, who should not have interfered with The Pacific's activities, The Pacific Army, with the help of the North Pacific Army, has been successful in taking the delegacy of this Userite Region, despite the resurrection of the founder nation.
The Genesis Federation was an alliance of over 500 nations about a year ago, and now it is down to less than 50. This is a clear demonstration that those who attempt to take The Pacific will always fail, and that The Pacific will always strike back.
See Editorial Opinion below for more details.

NEWS FLASH
Egeden


The Pacific Army has taken another TGF region, Egeden. After holding Egeden for a few days, the Pacific Army moved out, just as Swarmlandia once again resurrected the founder. But the point has been made, and The Pacific Army has been able to take not one, but two regions that participated in a failed attack on The Pacific. It also took the natives around two days to even notice they had been invaded, and no Pacific Army nation was ejected from Egeden.


International Affairs:
The Pacific's International Affairs Section (http://ns.pacificorder.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=698) has seen a surge of activity, spearheaded by Senator Haor Chall, which has resulted in new updates for our embassies in other regions.

The Azure Alliance
The Pacific Progress is pleased to announce that the Azure Alliance has been ratified between The North Pacific and The Pacific . This Alliance strengthens the bond between these two great Feeder regions, and allows mutual defence from those who wish to exploit the Feeders.

Pacifican Culture

The Return of the Feast of BlackAdder

The time of spooks and spectres is once more approaching, and Senator Krulltopia is pleased to announce (http://ns.pacificorder.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=1091) the return of the Feast of BlackAdder:
In an effort to shake the cobwebs out of the culture office, we are first going to put some more in for the upcoming Feast of Blackadder, a week long Festivity starting October 31st and ending November 5th.
The current scheduled events are:
A Story telling contest: Each Pacifican is invited to tell a story over the week, with the winner being Judged and announced.
Halloween Costume Contest: Each Pacifican is invited to change their mask for the week, with the winner being decided by public vote.
Halloween Disco: A new addition: various themed music videos will be linked to in a 'disco' thread. No Mature content, and obey copyright as much as possible.

Editorial Opinion
By Krulltopia

Despite what the remaining natives of The Genesis Federation would think, The Pacific Army's mission there was a success. We did there what they failed to do in The Pacific: take the home region of the enemy. For those of you unfamiliar with the background to this conflict, allow me to elaborate. Roughly a year ago, TGF was a region of around 500 nations, and made diplomatic overtures to The Pacific, with the pretence of TGF becoming a satellite region of the Pacific. With foresight, however, it is clear that this was merely an attempt to hide it's true intentions, namely to take The Pacific. Due to inactivity, these talks fell through, but Swarmlandia/Sakaba remained in The Pacific. This was noted, and the nation was watched. Eventually, Swarmlandia and The Genesis Federation made their move during an ingame glitch, where the delegate was temporarily removed from the seat due to a server error. However, despite pouring troops into The Pacific, Sakaba/Swarmlandia was promptly ejected and banned by Moo-Cows when he came online. The attempt had failed.
Recently, the Swarmlandia CTE'd, and The Pacific Army took the opportunity. Taking the region, with no intention of holding it for long, and with the assistance of fellow feeder The North Pacific, The Pacific Army took the delegacy, despite the inteference of Userite 'defenders' from Equinox. Mission accomplished, the troopers prepared to move out. The founder of the region was resurrected (whether it was the original player behind it is currently unknown), and Pacific Army troopers were ejected.
The founder then boasted about their 'victory' in the WFE. It is a shame it happened AFTER the delegacy was taken by The Pacific Army, wasn't it?
The fact of the matter is that The NeoGenesis Movement/Federation is dead. The Pacific has once again outlasted it's enemies, and has played a part in hastening its downfall. No illiterate, immature posturing can change the fact that we have won the war that this pathetic Userite region has started.
In order to further demonstrate our point, the satellite region of Egeden was also taken shortly afterwards, with little resistance. Once again, the founder was resurrected after the event, and attempted to cover for their failure to act with illiterate posturing.
All feeders should follow our example. Do not stand for regions that exploit you. Fight back. Be strong. For you are the regions that others pretend and inspire to be. You are the greatest Regions in NationStates, with individual histories that are unmatched by any other User region. Acknowledge that, and make those who doubt your claim suffer for their ignorance and hubris.
