We could just all send our winters to 
Otis-T. He can enjoy them!
Envoy from pooh corner, Gorchal, Farea Land, and The gayest of gay
I'd be ok with that.
Infidel State, Envoy from pooh corner, Gorchal, and Farea Land
Then he can have it! The snow, the ice, the everything evil that goes with it. Give me a sunny beach and some nice trunks any day!
Envoy from pooh corner, Gorchal, and Farea Land
Hey, sorry that you’re experiencing the winter blues, the cold really SUCKS!
As for Gay, still gay I’d say, almost hyper-gay really. Full on totes gay!
Tyrrenian Kingdom, Envoy from pooh corner, Hadelia, and Farea Land
I brought muffins and mimosas. And hugs. We've already reached our high for the day, and now it's just going to get colder, probably snow, and well, just be nasty.

Somehow no diplomatic crisis's have been caused during my absense today, so thats good
Kundu, Infidel State, Gorchal, and Farea Land
Somewhere within the last day the forum finally moved to zetaboards, the old link will redirect you to the new forum (but Kundu will update the WFE shortly to reflect the change)
I would like to take this opportunity to change a lot of things on the forums, including organizational structure and skins, suggestions can be lodged here, on the discord or in the thread i just created in the welcome subforum
If you're an ambassador and wish to create/keep a forum embassy please also contact me
On the note of reorganization, would anyone like to volunteer to repost/update/maintain the "List of LGBTQIA+ Days" dispatch?
There was some confusion, so to clarify:
I'm not actually pushing through and changing things myself, i'm spearheading the effort to re-organize and review the current state of the forums and putting together a concrete plan

Things are quiet here this week. *pokes someone*
Forum re-skinning is on my to do list this weekend. The rest of the forum should be working normally.
Anyone got interesting plans this weekend?
Gorchal and Farea Land
This is the typical winter working week! I want the hot sunny beach, and the men in slips! ;)
Kundu, Discoveria, and Farea Land
anyway, for the weekend i am going two days in Wien, Austria, for a Birthday party.
Discoveria and The coal region
We need more rainbow flags on our forum. Preferably in the form of banners and headers covering the entire site.
While it would be appropriate given the status of the region, i think that might be considered a tad.... tacky
How about a medium sized rainbow flag that stylishly appears in the middle top of every page? Like our old forum?
Tyrrenian Kingdom, Envoy from pooh corner, Farea Land, and Eklun
well yes that one is obviously coming back, the issue i had was with plastering it all over (like buttons and such)
Welp. Just bought my books for school. 400 dollars for things well read one half of for one semester.
The coal region and Farea Land
I mean... libgen exists http://libgen.io/ http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
Hey all!!
So our WFE has been updated so that the Forum link now takes you to the new forum on Zetaboards. Give us some time to get it polished and not so sterile. As you've seen, Blood wine is seeking input from members for suggestions on it.
Also, the WFE has been updated to reflect our current government. There are still a couple spaces open, so please let 
Kundu or someone else in the government know if you're interested!
Love to all!
I used one of the websites where you can get them for cheap. I'm taking 4 science classes though, so the books will still be expensive regardless.

Hey guys -
The World Arts Fair is coming up really quickly! Please check out this dispatch and join us in a few days by submitting your artwork, judging a category, or just by being present and supporting the fair. Hope to see you there!
NationStates World Arts Fair
Winter 2018 - January 26-29
It's that time of year again! Bring on your creativity and enthusiasm because the World Arts Fair is back in town. Last fall, we had a great turn out, with nations from all over NS joining in to share artwork and writing, even some musical compositions. We had lots of spectators who joined in to support our artists and it was a success. Here's to hoping that this year is even greater and richer than last year.
There are many ways for you to get involved...
Be a Volunteer
Volunteers of all kinds are needed to pull off this kind of event, so please share your talents with us! The assignments range from forum administration to dispatch writer. Whatever your skill, offer it up if you've got the time to spare. 
Sign up here.
Have Your Region Host the Fair
Hosting the fair has its benefits and perks. As host, nations essentially curate their very own version of the fair, under the supervision of the RIA cultural branch. This kind of event gathers many members from all over the NS world and can spread the word about what fantastic things your region is doing. We want your take on what the World Arts Fair should be, so don't forget to sign up to host! - The South Pacific will be hosting this winter's fair.
Submit Your Work
Unmistakably, the fair wouldn't operate precisely if we didn't have artists to submit their artwork, songs, and words. So we need your help to celebrate culture in this festival. Send in your photographs, musical compositions, poems, short stories, pottery works and anything else you can think to share with the NS community. We are here to celebrate all the diversity and creativity around us, so please share your work even if you don't want to be judged!
Each category (visual arts, performance, writing) will be judged separately, with its own panel of three judges. You may choose what you share with the community for panel review or simply to get your work out there to others.
Be a Judge
Have you always wanted to be the Simon Cowell of the group, or are you more of the Paula Abdul type judge? All are welcome to submit a request to be considered for arbitration roles. You will converse and confer with other judges to decide the winners of each category. However, please note, not all requests will be granted - don't take anything personally. :)
Performance - January 26, 2018
Show us what you've got! Sing us your songs, share your screenplays, bring a composition or arrangement to life. Submit all your performance based entries and join the
WAF Discord Server to participate in a karaoke contest!Visual Arts - January 27, 2018
All visual arts are shared here: photographs, paintings, drawings, pictures of sculptures, and anything else that you might have. On this day, we'll be playing
Draw This to celebrate the skill and talent all of you artistically inclined people have. Writing - January 28, 2018
Many of you have the gift of writing and creating worlds with your words - we'd love for you to share some of your work! Whether it's prose, poetry, non-fiction, it doesn't matter. All forms of writing are celebrated here, and this year, we added a fan-fiction category. The daily event is to be determined.
January 29, 2018
The judges will convene and decide which winners will reign until the next fair. Join us on this day to celebrate and cherish all the wonderful work each of our artists have done. Celebratory games of Cards Against Humanity, and the NationStates version, will break out throughout the day.

Special thanks to Thatcher for the new logo. *More new artwork coming soon.
I have started to look at zetaBoards themes. Ideally, I suppose we want a mobile-responsive theme that can be edited by us without any tricky copyright issues. There's only a small number of these to consider and I can roll out a theme tomorrow, probably. Of course any suggestions we receive later can be considered as well. I'm looking here: http://support.zathyus.com/topic/5176947/1/#post30005954
Here are the three skins that are both mobile-responsive and allow editing. Let me know if you have a preference for any of them. Try to ignore the colours as I'll be changing those to make it look more like the old forum.

Imagination by Helena http://support.zathyus.com/topic/5232097/1/
Unity by Eptix and Geoffrey http://support.zathyus.com/topic/7002160/1/
I don't think the old Shoutbox can be restored from the old forum, sadly. We have a new Shoutbox built into the zetaboards forum.
Unity is sterile af, and ledger is far too crowded in my tastes, Imagination seems like a good one to me
