Yes, and get off our lawn! *waves cane*
But really, I think most of us just kind of log in every couple of weeks or so and check-in. Not dead, but a very, very long way away from the glory days of the early 2010s.
Yeehaw!
I'm sorry to hear that, hoping that things get better for you my guy :(
I didnt know wibble was also in Texas, we should meet sometime after the pandemic
Hi everyone - have I missed anything?
Death or life and Numero Capitan
Rucket!
Wowwwww
How's it going everyone?
haha 
Neasmyrna- I'm a Phoenix 😂
who else is here from back in my day?
I remember 
Numero Capitan Death or lifeNeanbear just from the top of my head - more names came up when i visited the forum the other day also!
Let's bring AWP back to its former glory!
Death or life and Numero Capitan
Hello everyone. I won't take up much of your time; I will be here just a day or two... unless you tell me to move along.
Just wondering as I wander if anyone has a junk card or two to gift to me. Anything you can give will be much appreciated.
I noticed your region is 10+ years old. Just when was the region founded?
No one appears to be home so I will take my leave.
...Two Weeks Later...
379 cases, still only 4 deaths. Must have appeared in one of the retirement homes to start with, or something. (to get 4 deaths early, then nothing) Although, how they kept it from ravaging the place, I have no idea.
Eh, I'm spitballing. No clue who the deaths were. 50k or so in the city - no way to know them all.
I've had friends lose some people to COVID. I have one (fairly distant) family member who had cancer and was diagnosed with COVID, then died - but at most, it accelerated their death. They were in Canada, so no clue how it's being counted.
Holy Moly Rucket this takes me back 10 years. How have you been bud? It's so great to see you again.

We saved Christmas :o
A Commander delivers orders to the Choir in Libcord Abbey.
A carol to be sung by two groups. Traditionally, younger singers take the role of ‘Liberator’ and adults the role of ‘Officer’; in formal settings, the Officers are baritones and the Liberators tenors. In some regions, a Christmas pudding is served, and the person who finds a coin in their slice is ‘Goodkingwenceslas’, wearing a crown for the duration of the song.
Goodkingwenceslas moved to
Artificial Solar System
while the switchers prepp'd about
and crossing was all even
Brightly shone the Libcord lights
though 'twas still midsummer
when defenders prepared to fight
with a mighty nu-uuuuuuu-mber.
Liberators:
"Hither, spotters, stand by me,
if thou knows't it, telling
from whence came this delegate
and which raid are we quelling?"
Officers:
"Sire, we may not tell thee yet,
lest the raiders listen.
'Tis somewhere on the internet
where the snow doth gli-iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-sten."
Liberators:
"Bring me orders in due course,
bring me M key hither.
i shall this fine king endorse,
afore we bear them thither."
All:
Fendas and king forth they went,
forth in liberation,
with the orders duly sent,
moved in every na-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-tion.
Liberators:
"Sire, the trigger stretcheth out
and I fear banjection.
I pray our battle line not rout
and for our king's protection."
Officers:
"Mark the update, my good page,
it cometh 'pon our banners,
impotent was raider's rage,
for they could not ba-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-n us."
Liberators:
Goodkingwenceslas returned
to the throne of Yuletide
and the Advent candles burned
as bannings were applied.
Therefore, NationStates, be sure,
In July or December,
Those who keep regions secure
Shalt Christmas reme-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-mber.
Composed 27th July in the year of our Lord 2020, in honor of the liberation of Christmas.
Performed by the Choir of the Order of the Grey Wardens:

Yeah I can't believe it's been 13 years here guys. I think it was 2007?
I can probably meet next Thursday Rucket+everyone if we'd like to have a call/chat session to see what we can do. I don't have much time to dedicate here still, but happy to help how I can.

Yea that should work for me too Neasmyrna - might need to work out a time though 😂
Death or life and Numero Capitan
Same! I can do Thursday 430-7 eastern.
1. Sorry I missed the call.
2. Things have gone poorly around here. ... Personally, I'm fine.
But... cases of Covid are up more than 50% in the last few weeks. And local school districts, including the ones for some of my nieces and nephews, are opening for in-school classes.
And... One of my best friends was killed in a motorcycle accident yesterday...
So yeah... bad weekend in progress. :(
So sorry to hear that. Feel free to message me if you wanna talk/curse/need a distraction
Sorry for your loss, Wibble. Hope things start to turn around soon.
Also sorry for missing whatever mini-reunion happened. Turns out moving halfway across the country in the middle of a pandemic is a very time consuming, stressful process! Who knew?
N-day Plans
N-day, NationStates day of nuclear warfare, is approaching in a few weeks. We had a great time last year in a faction with the Forces of Mordor and Nintendo but this year we are merging our efforts with a few friendly larger factions and going for the win!
Our faction for the event will be The Potato Alliance
If anyone wants to join for the event it will take place over 24 hours probably on the 26th September. We have a faction Discord channel for coordinating together - https://discord.gg/mNvwfmR (link at the top of the WFE)
I even took the effort to write a report of our last N-day if anyone wants to read it/reminisce: 
viewtopic.php?p=36277485#p36277485
Oh, looks like our old friends at The Black Hawks tried to invade us. That's nice. *sips tea*
Thanks for the support, Dokanasia and 
Smores of TITO!
Death or life and Numero Capitan
Us and GRA, it felt all 2009 again for a moment
It looks like having N-day on a Sunday is going to be an issue for AWP folks but if anyone wants to check in or just check out our alliance then more details are here

Helping with a Defender festival and one of the activities is building a Defender family tree!
To be added to the Family Tree all you need to do is name the one nation that trained you as a Defender (try and pick the person who had the biggest impact, there may be more than one but we're narrowing down to one each). Either post here or telegram me :)

Reveals of artwork for Character Contest winners
The Conga Line: The Conga Line is an effort to allow Gala guests to visit other regions' Discord servers and meet their people. Please be kind and courteous while visiting.
Character Contest: Design a character and we'll draw it!
Defender Games: Take some time to come compete against your fellow defenders, try out new things, and have some fun during update with challenges and games! These games will be broken up into 3 different components: team, individual, and regional as well as be hosted during both minor and major, depending on the day. This should allow the maximum amount of people to participate and provide a wide variety of experiences of what defending looks like.
Defender History Events
Defender History Essay: Numero Capitan has written an essay about defender history that will be shared as part of the event.
Defender Tapestry: A visual representation of defender history, the Tapestry will sew together the timeline of the Regional Sovereignty cause, aiming to represent each organization the way they wish to be remembered.
Defender Family Tree: The Defender Family Tree traces the history of defender mentors and mentees.
Evening Game Series: On some evenings, we'll be hosting a casual game on our Discord which anyone is welcome to join!
Trading Card Events: Using the NS Trading Cards feature, we'll be hosting three collecting contests and a pull event. Two collecting contests will focus on defending -- one on collecting defender switchers and another on collecting influential defenders. Another contest will focus on creatively compiling cards obtained from packs opened during a detag run. And finally there will be a pull event for Season 1 Anime Daisuki. As always, there will be trading card rewards.
Why We Defend panel: The Why We Defend panel will focus on outlining a call to arms for defenders and defending in NationStates.
Nation Creation Contest: A fun way to play an issues-focused game competitive, the TIC Nation Creation Contest involves ejecting the bottom ranking puppets in each daily World Census Report ranking until a winner can be crowned!
Advocating Defender Values in the Security Council: This will include an instructive essay/Q&A from the most prolific Security Council author in history Kuriko followed by a group effort to write and pass a WA Security Council Commendation for a prominent defender.
Defender Awards: A classic!
Don't want to use Discord but still want to participate in The Liberty Gala? Here are the events that are easy for you to participate in!
All of the Trading Cards events
The Defender Awards will be hosted on the NationStates forums
Greetings and salutations from Founderless! I'm WS/VE, Foreign Affairs Director, and I've got a foreign update to share with you! No, we are not dead. We're back, better than ever, and Sedge has prepared this spicy report for y'all on where we are and where we're headed.
