Where is like the actual roleplaying like news, government organizations and other events?

You should get your factbooks in order more before you get involved in the threads - right now you’d just be flying in blind

Well, this is my second or third NS Olympics while in TWI, I've announced them all, and nobody has complained.

In practical terms, I don't see any harm, and it's a fine opportunity to softly recruit nations to TWI.

Glimpusmen

by The Blue Islands of Corindia

What is Glimpusmen:
Glimpusmen is a media franchise created by video game developer LoadLord Interactive that has become the top selling game franchise in Corindia and many other nations in the isles. The games place the player in the world of Glimpusmen, where they can collect, trade, and battle a wide variety of monsters known as "Glimpos". These Glimpos come in many forms, some of which transform into other Glimpos in a process known as "Reglimpifying" after the Glimpo has won enough battles, been traded to a friend, or other conditions that can be met. Both children and adults alike are obsessed with adding every Glimpo to their Glimpfolio, and the capture and reglimpification of many rare Glimpos has become the subject of extreme speculation.

How the game is played:
The core Glimpusmen games revolve around a basic single-player experience where the Glimpos are caught, NPCs are battled, and items are found, as well as a more complex and elaborate multiplayer trading and battling aspect. New Glimpos are regularly added to the game, both in the single-player overworld and as secret reglimpifications. These additions frequently come in the form of seasons of weekly content drops which coincide with the seasons of the multiplayer battle league, or the Glimpusmen Battle League. As well as new Glimpos, new variants of existing Glimpos are added during these releases, usually with far higher rarities, making them very desirable to avid players and collectors. Some players prefer to simply collect Glimpos and fill out their Glimpfolio, while others attempt to climb the ranks of GBL, but both feed into each other and require significant amounts of battling, trading, and exploring to be successful.

Other media and tie-ins:
LoadLord Interactive has carried out a marketing and advertising blitz to catapult Glimpusmen to the forefront of the Corindi gaming scene. A tie-in TV show, merchandise, and even a branded plane are just aspects of the campaign, which has also involved recruiting Corindi game streamers and influencers as cogs in the Glimpusmen marketing machine.

The Glimpusmen branded APEX Longfly NC60 has been rumored by fans to give an increased chance of catching rare Glimpos while on it or even an exclusive variant, and it has become popular for fans to book attempt to book tickets on flights it may operate for a chance at seeing for themselves. Non-fans have simply found it to be garish.

Glimpusmen made its first major strides outside of the Corindi market in New jacobland in mid January of 2021.

Wow, I am really touched.

Do you need more animals or perhaps even dispatches on specific Glimpo?

BTW, Khaski sounds a lot like Kaski; the district that I am living in.

Shidei how long before I accidentally name a Glimpo the same thing as a real pokemon do you think?

Well there's almost 900 of them to worry about, but yours seem more pun based so it's less likely (Anteefa? Really?)

also don't act like the anteefa-antarky line isn't better than about 30% of all pokemon

Making names based on topical events never ages well.

That being said, calling your seahorse pokemon horsea and your seal pokemon seel isn't exactly the highlight of creative names either

My bus was supposed to turn left when entering my street, as per usual, but being on the top of the hill and the road being steep and covered in snow, the bus just slid downhill, past my house (which would have been convenient if the bus had been able to stop) onto the main road. It obviously needs better wanterpneuen. It's a miracle that it managed to avoid parked cars...

Why your roads aren't thoroughly sanded/salted at this point is probably a larger concern as opposed to why your busses need better winter tires.

(then again, between sanding the everliving crap out of your roads would probably be less environmentally conscious than just making sure the tires on your vehicles are sufficiently winterized)

Yeah, I moved back. Anteria discriminates people who don't have Discord unless they only do RP in the RMB.
