29203. It was a close run thing though as I misinterpreted a few of the questions.

Gandenia is not a country in our opinion, none of us are countries, we all live in a giant nation-making game called NationStates, and Max Barry is our god. Make Mowt the Greatest Again (MMtGA)!!! And as we always say, “Why have democracy when you can have demoncracy?!” There’s nothing like rule by demons!!!

Mggaiaw! Make Gandenia great as it always was. Go Green! Not Blue!

Anyone have any experience with those water-orbs that you stick in a flower pot that automatically waters the soil as water is absorbed by plant roots? They're shaped like maces, aqua globes I believe they are called.

Wow, second one has filled up already!

Sorry, I was writing something, and then I decided to delete it, but it still somehow posted.

Yeah I use one every once in a while. Why?

I would try one that is made out of terra cotta, maybe. The water will gradually spread through the material itself into the soil. I see them advertised online, but I have not actually tried one. I have watering cans all over, so help is never far away. The glass ones may also work just as well, but I imagine that they only release water from the bottom or something.

When was the last Greenness report released for Forest?

Been playing some DnD with the extra time off. I've learned today the last thing you want to see after climbing into the magical bag the NPC is using to sneak you out of somewhere is the DM rolling three critical fails in a row.

We are currently tied up in front of a (now angry) minor deity, so a definite possibility. At least we narrowly dodged being thrown into a different plane of existance. DnD is kinda wild sometimes.

Howdy new, I am Turbeaux. Welcome to Forest. Nice to meet you!

Every post that I make has an edit and delete button underneath it. In the future, just go back and click the delete button. Of course, the ideal approach would be to simply not post anything until you know what you must communicate and have an approach to set about doing so. The mods--or ROs when we have a government in place--are not around to clean up little messes! Modern electronics and established websites almost never "somehow" do things. If you experience any truly inexplicible issues, please make a post at viewforum.php?f=15 so they can be sorted out. I apologize for the stern correction. I have made some mistakes in my time on NS in general as well as within Forest specifically and I believe that I am not the only person here who has done so! However, we put a great deal of emphasis on our RMB's quality partially due to us not conducting essential regional communication elsewhere. Walling such discussion into our forum and/or Discord server is quite exclusionary. Several prominent Foresters never or very rarely utilize off-site means of communication. Thus, we should strive to keep it streamlined!

I have used water bottles to do the same thing. I prefer amending soils with hydrogel granules and giving it a good soaking. I did that with my sweet corn in >100 degree weather and I could leave town for a day or two without coming back to dead stalks.

I sort of had this half-baked idea:

Not only did the Trump 'administration' botch the pandemic response and everything, but they badly botched a crisis that, if Trump were really everything that his supporters and mouthpieces claim he is, would have potentially worked out to the great victory and vindication of Trump.

Consider:

Trump's supporters like to claim that he has visionary, practical, ballsy, decisive leadership skills. This is (IMO) nonsense, but let's smoke pot inject bleach roll with it!

So, in an alternate world where Trump is actually an effective leader instead of trying to outdo James Buchanan as the worst president, he actually pays attention to his own government's medical experts (that is the point of departure into fantasy; the inability to concede others' superior expertise or knowledge of things is a major flaw of Donald). Based on the increasingly dark view of the CDC, Pentagon, et al., he closes down the country (way back in mid-February, say), with no incoming flights except for returning residents who all must quarantine for 30 days in facilities. This plays to his base's notion of Trump as defending America against "da foreigners," and it also achieves the medical goal of insulating the country against the pandemic.

Then, going against the Republican leadership, he even exceeds the Democrats' calls to close everything and to resist calls for reopening, despite tanking the economy. He "comes out in support of" old and vulnerable people, and argues that stopping the virus is obviously the only priority. As the country goes on lockdown and full funding and help is given to medical services, state governments, etc., the virus follows a similar curve to Germany in the United States during March and April, instead of metastasizing into the world's example of "what not to do," along with fine leaders like Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil and Lukashenko in Belarus.

Then, with much much much less damage done and tens of thousands of lives saved, Trump could champion self reliance and economic independence for the United States while also fighting off the virus. Trump objectively looks good, and it seems like when the chips are REALLY down, Trump actually does have a spine, a set of balls, and a head on his shoulders. By June or July, the economic recovery can begin in earnest, while everything is made ready to test tens of millions of people anew come fall and winter. By November, with some kind of economic recovery underway, with much worse outcomes in many other countries, and with an objective win for Trump in terms of pandemic's first wave, his xenophobia and "great genius"ness work out in his favor and in the country's favor. He is reelected, thanks in large part to winning over suburban and older voters who might have been otherwise souring on him.

When the psychosis wears off and you return to the actual timeline, it's so different:

Jan. 2020 -- "Fake impeachment," nothing else matters. Democrats suck!
Feb. 2020 -- I'm AWESOME! Bernie is where it's at (because he's the easiest to beat)! Democrats suck! The virus will magically go away!
Mar. 2020 -- Everything is wonderful and great in Amer--we might have a problem for a couple of wee--April is going to be a rough month.
Apr. 2020 -- We are doing wonderful things! Everything is great! Only liberals get corona! LIBERATE pivotal swing states!
May 2020 -- Everything is getting better! Ignore the 70+ thousand dead! China wanted this to happen! I like people who aren't captured and don't die of pneumonia!

And now, the administration is willing to feed thousands of people every day to the virus so that they can try to force the economy to reopen. No matter how much carnage it causes, they will downplay and ignore and attack the data of deaths, and simultaneously play up the economic recovery.

- Are the American voters going to go along with it, or are the scales going to fall off enough people's eyes that he is crushed in November?
- Will there be a death wave worse than the first one in June as a response to the premature openings?
- If you might die from going to the diner across town, how effective will any "fiat" reopening of the economy even be?

Stick around after these messages to find out!!! :-D

Seriously though, does it seem to anyone else like things could have gone so much better than they did? Idk.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a good day today, and Happy Mother's Day to anyone who is a mother!
