Now is not the Time for Timezones, and NS++

Yesterday democracy took place and the majority of those who voted agreed that Austritaria does not need timezones. It was only a slight defeat for Timezones, losing 4 to 5. It's a shame in a way - I was looking forward to adding crazy-ass timezones onto the map that made no sense at all just to fool with everyone. Oh well!

On a different note, I recently turned on my NS++. This time I gave it a proper try, looking at some of the additional things I might be able to do as the regional founder. I turned off a few of the things I wasn't fond of, such as the new RMB style and a few of the other cluttering things. But I was able to add some new things to Austritaria. A small thing and a possible big thing.

The Map shortcut
It's exactly what it sounds like. It's a map shortcut. This may not sound like much, and you're right! But it's something. If you have NS++ you can find a Map thing below the factbook. It's quicker than the website, so it's kinda neat.

The Regional Newspaper
It can be found on the left bar thing under Regional News. I believe anyone can submit articles for it, and after a publisher publishers it, it gets published! It can be used as an actual newsfeed that can be added to whenever. It's nice. So far I've been testing the waters with it by basically copy and pasting these dispatches onto it just to give it some filler.

To summarise, I suggest everyone tries NS++ (unless they don't use Google Chrome - in which case you're wrong) and if you don't like it, that's fine, don't keep it. But it is highly customizable and you can turn off most of the features and allows for some of the cool things mentioned above.
