TAO Wins the Delegacy:
First Minister Elections are elections where you never know what will happen

First Minister Elections started earlier then expected with TAO announcing several weeks before First Minister Nominations were to take place that he would be running for the First Minister position in TWP’s government. There was much buzz about TAO, who has been a long time resident in TWP. The question was who would run against TAO?

BIteland and Freedom and Pride stepped up to the plate in going forward with the nominations to run against TAO. It was sure to be an interesting race. TAO a long time trusted resident of TWP, BIteland, our original Mr. Plan B who had a taste of the delegacy for a day thanks to a game glitch, and Freedom and Pride, who has been working in the Immigration Ministry which was his first Minister Position.

The First Minister Candidates and Percentages:

• TAO – 76.6%
• BIteland – 16.6%
• Freedom and Pride– 6.6%

TAO won the First Minister Elections by a land slide! Congratulations to TAO!

Operation Slingshot
TAO moves to fight Influence’s setbacks!

*TAO walks up to the 1M podium and microphone*

Ladies and Gentlemen,

At Game Update time for TWP, Cave Canem was moved into the Delegate seat during a successful clandestine maneuver Codename: Operation Slingshot.

With the help of the WPLF, and members of several other Defender groups, arrangements were made beforehand to provide Cave Canem with enough endorsements to surpass TAOs UN Nation at Update. The purpose of this Operation is to use the Influence already possessed by Cave Canem to carry out the ejection of Khowphat for having violated (and having been in violation for multiple weeks) of the region's endorsement cap. This exchange in Delegates is only a temporary event for a specific purpose. CC will remain as Delegate maybe for one more update ... possibly two ... to allow time to access the region for any other possible dangers.

I am honored to report to you all how pleased you should be with your Ministers and your Liberation Force for the quick and quiet execution of this Operation. And we all should be thankful for the assistance and support we have received from some outside groups; such assistance demonstrates that TWP is still respected in the World at large.

I will now take your questions.

Many in the NationStates world woke up, or witnessed the confusing switch in Delegates in The West Pacific on the Update of 8th of June. Cave Canem (CC) took the delegacy during the update. Some declared we were at war with someone, some declared we had a new coup, while others stayed calm and waited for the First Minister to explain what had happen.

The West Pacific has ignored the Influence factor since it had been in place, doing business as usual. TAO decided a change in tactics would be needed with nations being over the endorsement caps and getting warned. TAO does not have the influence to banject nations that are breaking the rules. Meanwhile there are active players that are trusted in TWP that could. TAO used this to his advantage by appointing multiple Regents (vice-delegates of sorts) who are allowed to hang closely to TAO’s endorsement level. CC was pushed over TAO’s endorsements and then proceeded to Banject nations that Shasoria had not been able to eject before leaving the delegacy.

TAO’s out of the box thinking has brought many to wonder why we have ignored influence for so long.


New Ministers
TAO bring in new management

Once TAO was announced as First Minister, he wasted no time posting who he believed should have the appointed spots in the Ministries of his choices.

TAO Picked the following

• Minister of Defense: Kaze Hikari - Kaze was able to continue serving as Defense Minister after replacing Indycar Racing under Shasoria’s rule as fist minister.
• Minister of Foreign Affairs: Schwarzchild – Schwarzchild replaced North Harmonia as MinFA after a long, succesful run at the MoFA.
• Minister of State Security: Biyah – Biyah is known throughout the NationStates world as being someone who knows what is going on and replaces TAO and New People

TAO has also made TWP history by appointing seven guardians; Kingsteck(Regent), Cave Canem, The Realm of the Realm, Todler, Biteland, Eli and Shasoria. All who are in position to help the delegate at anytime.


Senate Summer Activity Committee
How does one bring activity

The Speaker of the Senate set up a Summer Activity Committee to decide what would be the best ways to get activity numbers up on the offsite forums. Summer is notorious for NS players not going to school thanks to breaks from school, and people having more time activity numbers in NS go up.

To help tame that boredom the committee is to come up with some ideas on how to make things interesting for TWP forum goers.


The West Pacific Sentinel
TWP goes for gusto for it’s own news service

The West pacific Sentinel is TWP’s news service. Neenee has been put in charge of the new network. There have been several volunteers to help write articles and much more.

The Sentinel has already begun writing for it’s first issue of news, and it is looking to be promising with fun stories. The Sentinel will be located on the main forums for The West Pacific when it officially goes to bed.


The West Pacific and The North Pacific
A Treaty?

The West pacific and The North pacific are currently in talks for a treaty. Only one of the few official talks for a treaty in over a year for The West Pacific, which all relations were officially suspended as well as all official treaties. It is the hope of Minister Schwarzchild that this will be only the first in a series of treaties and cultural exchanges to make TWP one of the fun places to be active in NS.

A treaty with the Merit had been negotiated a few months again and now The West Pacific moves to open up relations else where. The North Pacific and The West Pacific are both cautiously optimistic about the new treaty as both governments are in sensitive negotiations to finalise and codify this historic effort.
