And there is the NS Olympics coming up in a few days, which I'm going to be competing in.

Trigel wrote:I think I can do it

Hosting multi-sport events is hard. You're welcome to try, but you should think figure out how you're going to do it first. The NS Olympics are so difficult to run that only experienced sports RPers are allowed to host them. I don't see that a TWI Olympics will be any easier.

Hello! I’m new here so may I ask if there are forums here?

Roleplay Directory
of The Western Isles

....

The Western Isles is a region with a broad, complex and active role-play environment, which is centred on our map. To help you get acquainted and to keep you informed about the happenings of TWI, there are a number of resources created and updated for the benefit of map nations. This - the RP directory - is one of those resources and was an excellent dispatch run by Ostehaar for much longer than I have administrated it.

This dispatch lists active RPs, international organisations and collaboration threads that you may want to take a look at. Whilst I’ll keep an eye out for new threads, you can help me by letting me know about new RPs as they're opened and about changes to ongoing RPs. Please do so via TG or by tagging me in the RMB post in which you announce or publish your RP (make sure to include a link to the IC and OOC threads). These are threads that typically are restricted to members of The Western Isles so if you are not on the map yet or not in The Western Isles contact the RP manager/OP before you write anything in either the OOC or IC threads.

New to Role-Playing in The Western Isles?
I'd highly recommend you read this post written by The Macabees. It is very helpful and is instructive on what it is like to be an RPer in our region.

....Roleplays
....

Key:
The terms below indicate the status conditions of different roleplays (RPs) in the region.
  • 'Planning' - RPs that are not fully active yet or require constant coordination, and are still being discussed in the OOC thread. You may freely join the discussion.

  • 'Open' - RPs that require no formal application, and usually have no OOC thread. You are free to post in these RPs, but it is still recommended to inform the OP of your participation before doing so by telegram.

  • 'Semi-Open' - RPs that are open to all players but require application or some form of initial coordination with the OP. All communication should occur in the OOC thread that is relevant to the RP. You should only telegram the OP if you need clarification on a specific fact as you are writing an in-character post. Otherwise, all communication should happen on the out of character thread.

  • 'Closed' - RPs that are open to some players, as indicated by the OP or in the OOC thread. Never post in these IC threads of these roleplays without specific permission from the OP. You may freely post in the OOC thread.

Good day, TWI! New development in the TWI role-playing world.

I would like to direct the nations of Raedlon to the Bold Territories Progression Thread. New canon has been suggested and established in the Wake Islands and it would be better if the nations of Raedlon would join and express their own suggestions and ideas for it. It can be a good avenue to hopefully bring more activity in Raedlon and North-Western Gael.

I will look at this after work (in about eight hours or so). Considering the activity of the current Raedlon nations I guess that only Almorea and Nhoor could contribute substantially to this, but perhaps there are other nations who can surprise us :)

Well, you are at Polar's old spot so it would make poetical sense that you play a role in this :)

I wonder why the nations in Eterna sea is kind of inactive. Maybe because there are only a bit?

Hyukai wrote:I wonder why the nations in Eterna sea is kind of inactive. Maybe because there are only a bit?

They all have their moments of activity. If you want to develop some bilateral activity with your neighbours, you can of course always contact them to discuss the possibilities.

Hyukai wrote:I wonder why the nations in Eterna sea is kind of inactive. Maybe because there are only a bit?

Normally it takes a nation or two to engage with the rest of the subregion and OOC drum up activity - as you’d imagine then, subregions like eterna increase or decrease in activity because of the existence or absence of those particular kind of roleplayers. The exciting thing about being in a less active area means that you can step up into that role :)

Imperial Standard of the Holy Doravan Emperor
The imperial banner, officially called the Imperial Standard of the Holy Doravan Emperor, is used by the Holy Doravan Emperor; blue, black, gold, and red is used as the colours of the imperial banner; a black double-headed eagle with gold beak and feet with a red tongue and talons on a blue background. First used in TBD, it is the oldest continuously used flag in Doravo.

The Imperial Standard may only be used by the Emperor, and its use by others is an offence punishable with a fine or imprisonment.

Pledge of Allegiance



The Pledge of Allegiance: “I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the Papal States of Doravo, and to the Holy Empire, for which it stands, one state, one people, under God, to victory and glory for all.”, should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand in a closed fist over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute. Members of the Armed Forces not in uniform and veterans may render the military salute in the manner provided for persons in uniform. The pledge should be done every morning before school begins in every school across Doravo.

Flag Days



Following imperial decree on 22 July, 2003, the flag must be flown from public buildings on the following dates.

Election days for the Holy Imperial Senate are also flag days in some states, in addition to other state-specific flag days. The public display of flags to mark other events, such as the election of the Emperor or Sovereign Cardinal, or the death of a prominent politician or figure (whereupon flags would be at half-staff), can be declared at the discretion of the Imperial Minister of the Interior.
