Yup, the snowpocalypse is headed our way! I saw no less than four people/groups of people in my building last night hauling up groceries for it. I'm going to pick up a few things tonight as well.

Americans, always paranoid that some apocalypse will happen to them...Well, i guess it's because in every apocalyptic movie, the US gets hit first

1. After second (and subsequent) thoughts, I am no longer interested in running for WAD this term round, but I will still carry out plans envisioned to have been part of the platform which I had planned to run on - turns out it doesn't quite need the authority of the WAD after all.

2. Sorry guys, been a bit low on the motivation scale in recent weeks. Haven't really felt much like posting for a bit. Am at a slump with a bit of a writer's block at the moment. Hope this passes soon.

3. Those of you on the East coast, stay safe folks.

I'd like to look at us putting a unified region team together for this. Anyone interested?

I'd like help on RP, but even just some name submittals would be good. I have hockey, bobsled/luge and biathlon covered, but even if you're interested in those sports, we can work something out. We have until the end of WC football qualifications to submit.

I'm interested in sending some athletes although I might not be doing RPing. It doesn't make sense for the Northernmost nation of Astyria to not send anyone to the winter games if we are doing it as a region. :P

Yeah, so Griffincrest Corp, which seems to have a pretty free hand to do its own thing aside from the BC goverment, is a major oil supplier to Ralkovia. This anti-slavery crusade coalition, led by Allanea and some others, wants to cut off that oil supply, as well as other economic suppliers to Ralkovia. Right now, I think it's just economic sanctions, not military force, but don't quote me on that.

CdO is smack dab in the middle of the equator... I doubt it'd send folks (and I already have a delegation as Transalpine Republic...)

They can always practice in Nikolian mountains :P I'm sure Queen Helena will be more than happy to provide them a resort or two in the mountains :D

There is a Jamaican bobsled team. Or at there was for a few years. Anything is possible.

Cool runnings! :D

Yep. They made a movie about them. I'm going to assume they're still in operation. They were as of Sochi.

I watched the movie... it nearly made me cry when they crashed
