Has anyone noticed that The Embassy has been liberated?

We apologize for our absence, Oh Great Queen. We have been involved in the rebuilding of The Embassy with our WA nation.

I have been banned from The Grilllands. Our embassy was established and I sent them the customary breakfast. Two nations from that region "liked" the post. Unless they're Jews or Muslims and took offense at us offering them some pork products, I am at a loss to explain this insult.

There are some regions that routinely ban any nation which sends them an embassy invitation.

One of my other faces in another region was in charge of embassies. There was one region out there (can't remember the name, it may not exist now) that had a policy of banning any regional official who rejected an Embassy application. Great way to make friends and influence people!

Well, I once routinely used the challenge function to send my oldest and most populated puppet to defeat the nations that rejected my embassy invitations. It had no effect on the declined embassy, but it made me feel better.

Interesting that you used the word "dick." When I first came on the scene in NS, many years ago, the mods censored that word. In all cases. There was a nation that wanted to be called "Dick Cheney" and had to spell it "Dich Cheney." I wonder if there are any Richards under the age of 40 who are called Dick. I mean, how would you like somebody in a crowded place to call out to you, "Hey, Dick!" Just thinking.

That made me think of the Cheerleaders for the South Carolina Gamecocks, who routinely use cheers referencing their love for the cocks.

Does anyone have any writing tips for making an alien civilisation? Or any civilisation in general?

Read the short stories of some of the classic science fiction writers, such as Arthur C. Clark, Isaac Asimov, John W. Campbell, A. E. van Vogt, Andre Norton, Vernor Vinge, George R. R. Martin, etc. Get your inspiration from the masters.

Now, I was going to ask CCR if his writings included--ahem--some naughty stuff. Like alien sex. Now there's a topic that goes as far as the imagination allows!

Your Majesty, you are truly a wonderful woman!

An 11-year old should not read such things. I can see where it would be disturbing. When I was 11 I had no idea how babies were conceived; it was a more innocent time.

I suspect that the Internet has made many youngsters more knowledgeable than we once were.

Oh hell, I'll date meself. Born in the early "60s," Teens in the "70s," Loved the "80s" big hair and looses ladies. God I loved the "80s." Everything went to crap after 2000.

I have heard that the free-love era of the 1960’s was truly wild, with all the hippy chicks on the pill, and when a jab of penicillin cured everything.

Too bad Voxija and Central california republic are too young to have experienced drive-ins, the make-out havens of the world! And later on when you had young kids, and nobody wanted to baby-sit, you could put them to sleep in the back of the car and enjoy a double feature!

And when you asked a girl to the drive-in you both knew that you would not be watching the movie.

Fort pee pee. Now there's a name for you. I actually had investigate to see if there was a "Fort Poo Poo." Good news, there's not, so it's up for grabs, folks!

Thank you for that information, Your Majesty!

On another subject, it has been brought to my attention via Facebook that a teenage girl was suspended from school by some A-hole administrator because she kneed a guy in the nuts for entering the girls' bathroom. My feelings on the girl's action?

BRAVO!!!!

I recall that the Equal Rights Amendment was defeated out of fears that separate dressing rooms, sports teams, and toilet facilities for males and females would be eliminated. Things have progressed in that direction even without the amendment. This is truly a brave new world here in the 21st Century.
