10000 Islands Monthly Emissary Update

Date: June, 2014
Population: 1,025
Delegate Endorsements: 308
Forum: 10000islands.proboards.com

The following is the Emissary Report for May, 2014.

Political Events:

During May, there are elections for the New Republica South and Blue Canaria North Senate seats. In the New Republica South seat, we saw Tsim Sha Tsui decide not to run for his previous position. Paffnia, representing the Mayor Sheltor Political Party, and The Candy Lane, an independent, both went in the running for this seat. In the end, Paffnia was elected with a vote of 35-15. Meanwhile, in Blue Canaria North, incumbent senator Duckyian Empire ran against Ater Nox. In this seat, Ater Nox was elected with a vote of 35-13. Congratulations to our two new senators, and commiserations to those who were not elected.


The current Council of Nine (the government of 10000 Islands) is composed by:

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Randomain, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Benevolent Thomas (WA Delegate)
Paffnia (Senator, New Republica South)
Witchcraft and Sorcery (Senator, Himes West)
Ardreas (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Ater Nox (Senator, Blue Canaria North)

Thanks to Grub, the forum has a few new updates. Firstly, forum levels have returned, showing how many posts each member has made. Secondly, some more colours have been added to the forum, with posts made within the last 24 and 48 hours now have colourful timestamps. Lastly, users can now roll dice in their posts. Shelter's Taco Island residents quickly took to this, with new threads such as "If you roll a 10, you gain immortality" and "Dice-Aided Count to 1000" popping up within hours of the new feature.

We have recently opened a new embassy with Wysteria. The Candy Land has been chosen as our ambassador to Wysteria and has already made the long trip there.

TITO News

Tsim Sha Tsui has stood down from his position as Tactical Officer due to real life commitments. Thank you for your work as TO Tsim!

The Command of TITO stands as such:

Grub (Founder/Commander-in-Chief)
Improving Wordiness (Field Commander)
Ater Nox (Tactical Officer)
Controlitia (Tactical Officer)
Malecia (Executive Officer)

It was another quiet month for TITO, with six successful missions over the month.

Around the Islands

Werewolf 35:'And Now for something Completely Different' come to an end with a victory for the nasty wolves. Congratulations Tierra de Madre and Echolilia! It wasn't long before WW36:'Vault 48' was started with the villagers determined not to eaten this time. This game is being run by Shizensky, and has a Fallout theme.

Two resistance games were also completed. In Resistance 7, spies Randomain and Ater Nox walked themselves to an easy victory. Then, in Resistance 8, spies Barry and Ater Nox were defeated at the very last minute by what can only be described as a lucky guess by Aersoldorf, as both Barry and Ater Nox were utterly superb spies. This is only the second game won by the resistance team, so there was much rejoicing by the citizens of Shelter's Taco Island.

Siuts was named Rookie of the Quarter, making him the 15th nation to receive the honour. Congratulations Siuts! Link:http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread/27772/rookie-quarter

In the lottery, Barry, Witchcraft & Sorcery, Random and Aersoldorf were all lucky enough to win some tacos, although not lucky enough to win the jackpot which has risen to 196,930 tacos! Link: http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread...ack?page=7

The position of Mayor of Shelter's Taco Island has been opened to applications. There have been seven applicants so far. Link: http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread...aco-island

A group of 10000 Islands citizens travelled overseas on a trip to our allies in Canada. Everyone had a great time, even if the weather was a little cooler there than our usual tropical climate. Thanks for letting us visit Canada!

And last, but not least, The Mad Islander has returned! The Mad Islander is the 10000 Islands regional magazine, and had previously faded into inactivity. Delegate Benevolent Thomas restarted the magazine and within days had over a dozen staff members and more than 300,000 tacos in donations. The first publication is expected to be released in June, so keep your eyes out for it. Link: http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread...ack-hiring

Also in June, TITO XO Malecia was awarded the Bronze Star by TITO Field Commander Improving Wordines. the citation read:

'We stand here before the Statue of Jesioneka to award Malecia for outstanding service.
As you all are aware Melecia is our TITO Executive Officer and keeps things running smoothly in the background. In spite of personal hardships Mal has been a continual source of support and been dedicated to the rarely thanked task of keeping our record / battle jackets and TITO roster updated.
Performing a repetitive task from day to day when things are going well can be challenging. Performing those same tasks even when things are not going well is outstanding.

I hereby Award Malecia The Bronze Star'

Around the Islands

The Featured Nation Program was revived in early June, and over the month Voltzenkrad and The Changeling Horde were both featured. If you would like to know a little more about these interesting nations, have a look at the links.

Werewolves 36:'Vault 48', hosted by Shizensky, came to a conclusion with a victory for the communist wolves. Congratulations! Red Croatia has started sign ups for the next game, which will see the villagers face off against a group of cartoon Femme Fatales. Barry has already prepared himself for an evil role, showing us some disturbingly attractive pictures of him in a red dress.

The Resistance 9 was won by the resistance again. Spies Aersoldorf and Ater Nox were no match for the brave Resistance members Pengu, Randomain and Witchcraft and Sorcery. Or maybe that's just what they want you to think, you never can tell in this game...

The Candy Lane ran two games of Two Rooms, One Boom over the month. This game is run by PM so there isn't much to see, but it seems to have been well recieved by its players. The blue team won the first game, and the red team won the second.

Ater Nox opened sign ups for a new game in Taco Island. Everyone is John will see Taco Islanders take turns as being voices in a man named John's head. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

In the lottery, Barry, Witchcraft & Sorcery, Random and Aersoldorf were all lucky enough to win some tacos again. The jackpot which has now risen to 203,360 taco. Link: http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread...ack?page=8

The position of Mayor of Shelter's Taco Island has been filled. Congratulations to our new mayor Aersoldorf!
