A Letter from the Capitalis de Societate of The United Defenders League,Ah, seems like an average week here in The United Defenders League. Albeit a little slow; a lot of our membership has been away doing exams and whatnot with school; I heard there was an attempted liberation of Alliance of Socialist States. But yep, overall it’s been very laid back with a lot of tea-drinking, we’re huge tea-drinkers during updat—
1 minute ago: The Wouldn't It Be Nice of Unibot II ceased to exist.
Ahh. *bites his lip* *passes out*
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Actually, it turns out my deletion was an accident; but it certainly gave some members a scare.
NationStates Moderators (Saved. 12 hours ago)
Sorry about that deletion - it really was an accident. Had too many tabs open, and was intending to delete 'Unibot XI' which was maliciously impersonating you.
On the list of nightmares-come-true, this is near the top of the list.
Okay! So a notice to all, ahem, rules-challenged people out there in NationStates, I recommend not impersonating me – it’s got to be in the top 5 reasons why people are DEAT’d.
In more serious news, Milograd has step down as our Chief Lieutenant. He felt it was his time to move on and has taken the ceremonial position of Guardian of The United Defenders League. He has left the organization in better shape than when he took his position and I wish him the best of luck as he pursues his candidacy for delegate in The South Pacific. Milograd’s duties as Chief Lieutenant were more administrative and often involved being my consultant and confidant – it’s a stressful job, because I’m a stressed out guy. Heh. My hope is that with my new appointment, the Chief Lieutenant will become more military-focused and Solm is the man for the task. Solm, like Milograd, has an extensive history as a roleplayer, but also one of our first members of the United Defenders League and one of the most accountable defenders on our staff. He often ran our minor updates when I couldn’t wake up for the morning and I feel confident in leaving him the organization to run when need be. Please wish Solm good luck; I know I do!
On other news, congratulations to ABK with his appointment as Chief of Orientation. He doesn’t even know he’s been picked yet from the selection of nominations, so this will be a surprise to him. *sniggers mischievously*. The Chief of Orientation’s position is extremely important because he will be making sure that we get everyone who signs up to join our organization, trained and welcomed and “used to” using our IRC channel; which is actually very important if we want to keep growing in membership size.
Okay what’s next on the list… hhhhmm; ah, yes Kyzikos got a flag finally! The contest ended with Sovreignry and Campinia, two of our Senior Merrymen, putting together the winner. Here it is:
This flag is obviously a combination of The United Defenders League and The Founderless Regions Alliance imagery – the two defender organizations that share the region.
Additionally in administrative news;
The Hall of Honour has been constructed! The Hall of Honour is our memorial to all of the hard-working officers who have unfortunately had to leave us for various reasons. It was a pleasure unveiling the Hall of Honour and my hope is that in the future it’ll become even more of an honour to have one’s name engraved in its stone alongside such legends and greats of this game *waves to those on the memorial that are reading*.
Furthermore,
the monthly awards winners have been announced! Congratulations to all the recipients!
Okay, the last major thing I need to discuss in this update is The United Defenders League’s first anniversary! In the future we may run the holiday just as a day, but it’s our first, so why not have some fun with it, eh? Yes, that’s right, it’s already been a full year since we started up The United Defenders League. The festivities will include gift-exchanging! (lightly roleplayed, of course), various games and activities; the festivities will begin June 7 and end June 13. I’ll post the sceduele for the event when I have it all finalized.
Alrighty, I thinkkkk, that’s all I need to blab to you about. See you around for the Anniversary celebrations! Congratulations to Eluvatar, our Chief of Intelligence, on becoming the delegate of the North Pacific.
If you want a laugh, go check out Mallorea and Riva’s anthropologic study into the depths of defenderdom on the Kyzikos Regional Message Board,
here. If you don’t want to go that far for a laugh, here’s your Moment of Zen:
Fischistan was being inducted as a Rainbow Monkey Member via weird trials and rituals,
<@Solm> I've set your alarm to 1:30am. With a special message, that's when your death trials really begin
<+Fisch> quad said something about update surfing...
<+Fisch> from an early region
<@Solm> You'll just have to see when your phone wakes you up at 1:30am and music is blaring in your eyes, the lights are flickering on and off rapidly, and someone is in your bed.
<@Solm> Hmm… music blaring in your eyes….
<@Solm> Maybe that comes with being a rainbow-monkey?
<+Fisch> lol
<+Fisch> My eyes can hear, my ears can see
<Fisch> ew, I have lots of earwax
May Justice Never Be Abandoned,Unibot
