Wysteria Regional Message Board

What? We rejected your embassy! Really, it's not you, it's me. OK, it's probably you, but I see no reason to get personal about it. Although some of you who are sending out tons of embassy requests, from password protected regions, containing one nation, probably have your suspicions about why your offer was turned down.

Our existing embassies are backed up by actual ongoing diplomacy that has been occurred between Wysteria and other regions over the years. Years? That’s right years. We’ve been around since 2002. There are a lot of regions out there that play the embassy collecting game for the sake of collecting them. Wysteria just isn't one of them. Properly maintaining an embassy, backed up by an exchange of nations and updating threads on each other’s forums is a lot of work and there’s just no way for us to have embassies with everyone. The good news is that there are other regions out there throwing embassy requests around like rice at a wedding, so we feel quite certain that you'll find others more accepting of these requests.

Because of this some people have come to the false conclusion that Wysteria is a bit on the xenophobic side. We've had a lot of interaction with many different regions over the years and have taken an active role in a number of worldwide conferences that were held to discuss the state of the game. True, we banject a lot of invaders and suspected invaders on sight, but that has more to do with respect for the nations that have come here as a haven against the predations of invaders, who for instance might have griefed and destroyed the former region of said refugees.

It’s another short-term market report today, with casinos last shown on March 28th, nearly two months ago. The “+” indicates moving up the ranks from the last time this category was featured; “-“ indicates losing ranks; and nothing means that your ranking was unchanged. That or you weren’t in the region last time this category was shown (Libertarian Christians, 3rd May, August Pinochet). Only when short-term variations, up or down, are part of an overall trend should they be considered a diagnosis of your movement in the overall standings.

You might be able to find your old nation flag in a google cache or webarchive.org (wayback machine), if you didn't save it to a file on your computer.

The solar eclipse was a bit of a bust here. It was clouded over, so much yardening work ensued.

Yardening. Love that neologism. Hadn't heard it before. Hope you created it!

It's been in usage for decades, but no, I didn't create it. I'm just doing it. :-)

I've just started watching Borgia great show.

It's a great show and part of the new trend towards dramas where there are plenty of villains and anti-heroes, but no good guys anywhere in sight. Like the Sopranos I don't really feel sad for any of the main characters if anything bad happens to them. The victims and good guys are the ones whose characters do most of the suffering in these shows.
