If they want my vote the unholy Penguin and the uncharitable Amerion will have to crawl on their knees. Writing this I realize penguins lack knees. So Amerion will have to be on his knees while Penguin does the worm.

AMERION AND PENGUIN RUN TO SUCCEED SOMYRION AS DELEGATE
Amerion and Penguin are running in the election to succeed Somyrion as Delegate of the South Pacific. Amerion is running on a platform of strengthening the region's WA efforts and bridging the gap between gameside and offsite. Penguin has highlighted their years of experience in the region, including in executive office, and has promised to be a steady and trustworthy presence. The election will consist of a forum voting round and a subsequent gameside voting found, with the top two candidates of the first round.
ASSEMBLY
ASSEMBLY RESUMES DEBATE ON WHISTLEBLOWER ACT
The Assembly has resumed its debate on a proposed Whistleblower Act. The bill, which has not yet been motioned to a vote, would make revealing the identity of a whistleblower a crime of espionage. The bill, which was proposed following the alleged disclosure of a whistleblower's identity during the recent Cabinet election, would protect whistleblowers from facing any repercussions for reporting illegal actions. While legislators have expressed support for the bill, some have expressed over classifying the outing of whistleblowers under espionage, rather than as a separate crime.
MILITARY AFFAIRS
SPECIAL FORCES REPORT 251 OPERATIONS SINCE JUNE 27
The Special Forces have reported having participated in 251 operations since June 27, an average of 21 operations per update. This was communicated in the second weekly report that has been published since Phoenix assumed the office of Minister of Military Affairs. The report, written by Omega, listed 106 defences and 145 detags, operations that were conducted alongside fellow defender partners The Grey Wardens, the Rejected Realms Army and the Ten Thousand Islands Organisation.
ROLEPLAY
QWERT ANNOUNCES NATION SHOWCASE WEEK
Qwert, one of the more prominent participants of forumside roleplay, has announced the second ever Nation Showcase Week, an event where gameside roleplayers will be encouraged to expand on their worldbuilding according to themes set for each specific day. Themes often range from sharing news to detailing each nation's government, history, artwork and even its geographic features. While the event has been announced, there are no specific dates for it yet.

Unfortunately, Eurovision 2020 was cancelled. Fortunately, that doesn’t mean we have to wait a year for some lovely songs. Enter Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. Helmed by the comedian Will Ferrell and the always brilliant Rachel McAdams, this film not only gave a touch of silliness, but several excellent (mostly fictional) songs to assuage the agony of going an entire year without ruthlessly tearing down other nations (“Arcade” should never have won) have been granted to us. The only question now is this: which song reigns supreme?

Good evening, Supreme Leader!
My congresspeople love you!
When asked who they will likely be voting for, an overwhelming 1,490 of the 1,537 MCs leaned towards Stewie, while only 47 favored Penguin.

Hawaii is the fun one with the beaches and volcanoes and whatnot, yes?
And Alaska is the lovely one with the gorgeous, rocky coasts, glaciers, and glorious tundras? They sound lovely darling.
Now Australia, that was a waste of resources. The land is constantly trying to kill you, and not in the fun Auphelia way.

I simply cannot believe how many commas have been dropped in the poll. This new computational device is quite difficult to master. Drystar will never allow me to forget this.

At some point in the past, tropical trees grew in Alaska and it was a humid 24C on the regular. So global warming is more like going back to normal...
Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow.

At some point in the past there were dinosaurs everywhere that would have killed us all, and yet there is an entire film franchise out there that shows just why that would be a terrible idea.
Unless . . . surely it will work this time!

I have been reading Discord messages about myself. My, you all can’t get enough of me, can you?
Also, stop being so boring in the poll. You sort always go for the obvious answer. Tsk.

I will gladly become the ambassador to TSP, darling. You needn’t ask twice.
No, no, there’s no need to speak. The look on your face is enough to tell me you’re delighted with this turn of events.
New Zealanders are the Canadians to Australia’s America.
Draw your own conclusions from there.

That is a fair comparison I suppose. Of course, in this scenario, we are a much better version of the United States.
