The 10,000 Islands Ministry of Culture recently hosted a month of games, contests, and events in the spirit of the Summer Olympics. This year the contestants were organized teams aligned with the XKI Houses, and contest winners accrued points for their team. The House of Improving Wordiness pulled off an impressive win, racking up 452 points.
Minister of Culture Wille-Harlia summarized the results in the closing ceremonies on the Proboards forum.
TITO Knight Elite has re-joined the Command team as a Tactical Officer, bringing a wealth of experience and a long history of dedicated service. As a Legion Commander, Elite has participated in hundreds of successful engagements with raiders. He has also served XKI as a Ambassador to The South Pacific, Foreign Affairs Secretary, and Senator. Field Commander Flying Eagles gave this ringing endorsement of Elite’s return: “Elite has been a consistent force in TITO operations since his return to defending. With us always looking to add talented troops to our command ranks, it was a complete no-brainer to appoint Elite as TITO’s newest Tactical Officer. I am excited to work with him and can’t wait to see what he accomplishes”.
Elite himself gave us this press release:
I’m thrilled to have made my return to TITO Command. It’s been a while but it’s great to see TITO still in a healthy state with so many dedicated defenders amongst the ranks. It’s been eight years since I was last at this post, and those eight years of life experience have made me a better person and a better leader, and I hope that this will come in handy while leading missions and assisting my fellow Command members.
It’s an exciting time to be a defender, and we’ve never seen more diversity and more cooperation between defender regions before now. Hopping on once a day for a mission is still fun, too. I’m really looking forward to making a contribution as a Tactical Officer again, and beating back the raiders again and again and again.
Liberdon, a longtime Islander best known for her obsession with penguins and unusual culinary taste, has returned to the Council of Nine to take Valentian Elysium’s place as Minister of Education. No stranger to the halls of power in 10000 Islands, Liberdon has previously served the region as NRS Senator, Casino Shift Manager, Emissary to Lazarus, and as TIBOE Chair. Liberdon has received the Iwerddon Service Medal, which is given to TITO and civilian members of the region for “fine service to the Islands and its people”.
When asked for comments she saids “I’m honored that our wonderful CE Aschente chose me for this position, and I’m looking forward to serving XKI as MoE!” If anyone has any ideas or suggestions for the future of the Ministry of Education, feel free to stop by my office (on the forum) and leave a message! 🙂”
Chief Executive Aschente had this to say regarding Valentian Elysium’s resignation and Liberdon’s appointment: “While Val may not have always been the most professional politician (I am not smelly val) in 10000 Islands, he has been there when the islands needed him countless times. I am sorry to see him go, but I sincerely wish to thank him for his years of contribution to the islands. He left a few hats behind for me to fill, one of which I have elected to give to another islander who has also been a cushion for 10000 islands to land on in many a pinch. I am delighted to see Liberdon return to the Council of 9 and take the seat of Minister, and I look forward to working with her.”
Liberdon has an open invitation to Islanders to drop by her office at the Proboards forum. Bring a jacket and watch out for polar bears!
This month’s entry for Goodest Boy/Bestest Girl is “Miss Kitty”, a new addition to the household of South Sene Xhic. Miss Kitty comes to the family from the neighbors. While her age is unknown, the staff at the Wave speculate she’s around a year old. Miss Kitty appears to enjoy playing with power cables, a common source of aggravation and concern for many cat caretakers. We wish the best for Miss Kitty in her new home with South Sene Xhic and family.
