10000 Islands Monthly Emissary Update

Date: October, 2013
Population: 1,418
Delegate Endorsements: 404
Forum: 10000islands.proboards.com/index.cgi

The following is the Emissary Report for September, 2013.

Political Events:

September was election time again in the Islands. Here is the run down of what occured including an interesting political Shell game.

Elections were held to fill the office of the Delegate and the senatorial seats for Blue Canaria North and New Republica south.
The New Republica south race was fought out between new comer Duckyian Empire, vs incumbent Tsim Sha Tsui. Tsim came out on top despite a well fought campaign by Ducky.
Incumbent Malecia ran unopposed in Blue Canaria North and continued on as Senior Senator, for a few seconds...
Long time TITO member and Tactical Officer Benevolent Thomas ran against Minister of Labor Cerberion for the Delegate position, with Cerberion taking the seat.

Round 1 of the Shell Game... find the Senator for Blue Canaria North.

Roll up roll up ladies and gents! Here we have Senior Senator Malecia, all you have to do is find what roll he's filling. Watch the hands closely now... place your bets!
I'm sorry you lose... Malecia is now the Minister of Labor and coming out of left field, Valoniah is appointed to fill the open seat of Blue Canaria North.

Due to the vacancy created by Cerb taking Delegate, Malecia was snapped up to fill the permanent CO9 role as Minister of Labor, so congrats to him!
Valoniah was appointed to fill the vacant seat by Grub, probably because Val is really funny when he is drunk. Sure he is a long term TITO Knight, has served in the 9 as a senator before, but mostly he is just funny drunk (He didn't write this bit, can you tell?).

The shuffle caused more complications though as our Senior Senator had been snaffled to fill the open ministerial seat, and Tsim was found to be next in line, so congrats to him.

After all the shuffling we have the following:

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

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Cerberion (WA Delegate)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Randomain (Senator, Himes West)
Ater Nox (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Valoniah (Senator,Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

Magthere has reached 100 battle stars and been named Tito Knight Commander. Tito missions continue as usual, the war on invaders never ends. Significant missions in September include The East Pacific, Monkey Island, and Scotland.

Taco Island

It is with great regret that I announce the Mayor of Taco Island, Shelter from the Storm, has passed away. His mayors mansion is filled with flowers presented by friends from NationStates. He was loved by all, and kept Taco Island a fun and inviting place. The spamming in Taco Islands continues, just as we know Shelter would have wished.

The marathon werewolves game continues. We are now on Werewolves episode 30. The current game is being run by Witchcraft and Sorcery, who has opted for a Skyrim theme for this game. If you ever feel like stopping by to participate I'm sure they would love to have extra players.

The following is the Emissary Report for October, 2013.

Political Events:

October is a non election month in the Islands, so no surprises there. Our New Republica South Senator, Tsim, had a baby daughter, so at least we know someone's been getting some around here, married men, am I right! ..... *ahem*. Moving on, there is a discussion in the Council of 9 on renaming Taco Island to "Shelter's Taco Island", in honor of our recently passed Mayor of Taco Island, Shelter from the Storm.



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

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Cerberion (WA Delegate)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Randomain (Senator, Himes West)
Ater Nox (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Valoniah (Senator,Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

The merciless slaughter if invaders continues for TITO. Big profile mission for the month of October include Discordia 1 million, I mean 5, as well as a liberation of Middle Earth. You think those hobbits could look after themselves... Aersoldorf received his 100th battle star, and has thus been promoted to the rank of TITO Knightt Commander. As is tradition here in the Islands, we ripped off the the arm of the invader lead from his 100th mission and mounted above his door.

Taco Island

The chaos continues in Taco Island, with the spamming and whatever the heck it is they do in there. Werewolf 31 is on like donkey kong, so get your silver bullets ready, daddy needs him self a new throw rug! Also, Aersoldorf won the poet laureate contest. Here's his poem:

On The Forum

If your teacher's on your case
And you're looking for a place
Where you're not a big disgrace -
Try our forum

When your girlfriend makes you mad
Or your parents have you sad
And you're feeling really bad -
Hit the forum

If your boss is riding you
Or your spouse has made you blue
Then you know just what to do -
Spam the forum

O the characters you'll meet
A zany crew that's quite offbeat
Waiting gladly just to greet
You on the forum

There's a packing chimpanzee
Who will cap you in the knee
While the duck just hollers 'squee!'
On the forum

You can meet a dirty sock
Who will shoot you with her Glock
If her bleeding eyes you mock
On the forum

Start your own religious cult
Unbelieving folk insult
Then proclaim the net result
On the forum

At the Uni, take a class
Hit the bars and hoist a glass
O the many hours you'll pass
On the forum

You can role play if you wish
Or just share your favorite dish
Run for office, post your fish
On the forum

Play some werewolves just to cope
Threaten Ketab with a rope
You can find both fun and hope
On the forum

You can politics discuss,
Filthy, raiding bullies cuss
Or just chill and spam with us
On the forum

Spend your tacos buying stock
Cook a camel in a wok
Sing of schnitzel 'round the clock
On the forum

So the next time you're maligned
And you need some peace of mind
Sheer Nirvana you can find
On our forum


So it's been a big month for Aerso, good job buddy! That's all folks, until next time anyways.

The following is the Emissary Report for November, 2013.

Political Events:

November was an exciting month in XKI politics. Elections were held for the Himes West and Lyonesse East senate seats. When the dust cleared, the winners were Benevolent Thomas for the East seat and Witchcraft and Sorcery for the West seat.

It is with great pleasure that I announce that the Council of 9 unanimously voted to rename Taco Islands to Shelter's Taco Island as a memorial for our late and sorely missed Shelter.

The Council also voted to expand the reward system for immigration. There are two new medals for recruiters, the Bolter Lightning Badge and the Woonsocket Saffron Lighthouse. Those sound fabulous!



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

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Markanite, (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Cerberion (WA Delegate)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Wictcraft and Sorcery (Senator, Himes West)
Benevolent Thomas (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Valoniah (Senator,Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

There have been some TITO Knight milestones this last month. Ananke II has reached 200 battlestars, giving her the rank of TITO Knight Master Commander. Ater Knox has reacher 150 battle stars, giving him the title TITO Knight battalion Commander, and Benevolent Thomas has reached 100 battle stars, giving him the rank TITO Knight Commander. They are all fine examples of invader slaying steely eyed killers. Congrats knights!

Taco Island

The spamming continues in Shelter's Taco Island. I struggle to comprehend what they do in there. Werewolf 32 is on, so they're doing whatever the hell it is they do there. Casting spells, typing furiously, drinking coffee. I do know that they are having fun, and that's what counts. There is a tug of war competition between House Wordy and House Aersoldorf. My money is on the spawn of our sassy Australian lady friend! Other than that, the endless threads of spam continue to grow!

Until next time my friends.

TITO News

TITO was proud to have taken part in the multi regional liberation of Asia this month. The only thing better than curb stomping invaders is curb stomping invaders with your friends!

We are proud to announce that TITO has successfully completed is 2000th defense! To think we foiled the same two dozen @ssholes living in their moms basements covered in Dorito dust, tears, semen, pimples, and broken dreams, that many times over. You would think they would have given up by now...

We'd like to welcome TITO's newest member, Ardreas. He joins a fine tradition of honor and invader slaying.

Taco Island

The threads of Taco island continue to grow. The "LAST PERSON TO POAT WINS!" thread is back on page one, with an amazing 41,007 posts. That's a lot of spam right there folks. There is another friendly competition between houses, this time the goal is to out spam the competition.

The following is the Emissary Report for January, 2014.

Political Events:

January was the first month of the new year, and to ring it in the Islands, elections for Blue Canaria North and New Republica South. Tsim Sha Tsui retained his seat of New Republica South without opposition whilst the Council of Nine welcomed Duckyian Empire as Senator of Blue Canaria North as a result of a three-way race.


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

Grub (Founder)
Malecia (Minister of Labor)
Randomain (Minister of Education)
Aersoldorf (Minister of Immigration)
Cerberion (WA Delegate)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Wictcraft and Sorcery (Senator, Himes West)
Benevolent Thomas (Senator, Lyonnesse East)
Duckyian Empire (Senator, Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

There were 12 successful deployments, including the Maknovia Liberation and Christmas from some members of the Lone Wolves United region (along with members of the Brotherhood of Malice), a region which had declared war on the 10000 Islands a few years ago.

We'd like to welcome TITO's newest member, Witchcraft and Sorcery. It appears that he is off to a fantastic start. Also, Tsim Sha Tsui reached the milestone of completing 150 missions, earning the title of TITO Knight Battalion Commander. Finally, Land has decided to step down as Field Commander and no replacement has been named for the time being.

Taco Island

There has been a Werewolves game based on Ghostbusters in progress, under the supervision of Ater Nox. Also, a competition has been started by Free Guns For All, in which a funny picture is posted and all participants must create a suitable caption. The winner then gets to post the next picture.

The following is the Emissary Report for March, 2014.

Political Events:

There were three races for the esteemed Council of Nine: Himes West, Lyonesse East and the WA Delegate seat! For the Himes West seat, there was a three way race between incumbent Witchcraft and Sorcery and challengers The Candy Lane and Indian Empire. Strangely enough, the latter of the challengers decided not to campaign. The election resulted in W&S retaining his seat in a tightly contested race! The freshly vacated Lyonesse East office was contested between Ardreas and New Ecopia. Unlike the other Senate race, this one resulted in a clear victory for Ardreas. Finally, for the Delegate spot, it was a race between Benevolent Thomas, then senator of Lyonesse East, and Aersoldorf, the Minister of Immigration! Benevolent Thomas emerged the victor, much to the joy of his opponent who had openly endorsed his bid for delegacy.

After the dust settled after said elections, 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)
Tsim Sha Tsui (Senator, New Republica South)
Wictcraft and Sorcery (Senator, Himes West)
Ardreas (Senator, Lyonesse East)
Duckyian Empire (Senator, Blue Canaria North)

TITO News

March was a moderately busy month for TITO which saw 16 battles including Kingdom of Britain, Sweden and the successful refounding of Australia!

TITO celebrated the news of the Knighting of Controlitia! A few days later he was named as the newest Tactical Officer of TITO.

Also, Commander in Chief Grub and Eternal Mayor Shelter from the Storm have been honored with medals from allied Yggdrassil. They received the Order of the Rising Sun and the Harbinger of Peace Medal, respectively!

The Command of TITO stands as such:

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

Around the Islands

One of the Islands favorite pastimes, the ever-present Werewolves game, was hosted by Ayunli and ended in victory of the Villagers! Currently, there is a WW game being hosted by the WA Delegate with a Monty Python theme! Another game, called the Resistance, recently finished its fifth edition, hosted by Barry, with victory to the Spies! Oh no! A short fad has erupted in which Islanders can ask each other any question that came to mind. Examples included 'How much wood would you chuck if you were a woodchuck' posed by the Candy Lane to W&S and 'Got Milk' from Barry to Free Guns For All, the originator of the trend. There also appears to be a resurgence in the role playing community on the forum. A new Science Fiction RP started by Ardreas has been a driving force of this trend. Finally, the Million Taco Drawing produced a winner. The winner decided to post the song 'Million Dollar Bills' by a young up-and-coming musician called Lorde. Only a Psyduck called Duckyian Empire would even know that song existed then.

In the role-play section, there have been discussions to replace the current map in use, as well as a new way of calculating one's armed forces for warfare. On Mayor Shelter's Taco Island, Werewolves 35 appears to be slowing down. We expect the game to be finished within a week or two. Also, there is a game of Resistance, in its seventh edition. Finally, there is a future New Flag competition; many nations are expected to display their creative flags for the competition!

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.

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:

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/2...ery-back?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/2...yor-taco-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/27741/back-hiring

Thank you for the update Ambassador. We noticed Candy Lane registered on our board with no fanfare recently. Now we know why - they are a member of the 10KI Ambassadorial team. We thought it was odd a random 10KI person would just register for no reason.

Your board updates sound kewl We saw the colorful date stamps a week or two ago and could not resist posting. The dice thing sounds liek it could have some potential for fun stuff!

Thanks again!

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/2...ery-back?page=8

The position of Mayor of Shelter's Taco Island has been filled. Congratulations to our new mayor Aersoldorf! The new mayor got right to work, unveiling his new mansion payed for with his hard earned tacos. And by hard earned tacos, I mean taxes and bribes. Link:http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread/27857/new-mayor-taco-island-announced

The Mad Islander has gotten off to a strong start, with over a dozen articles posted. Link:http://10000islands.proboards.com/board/76/mad-islander

The Candy Land has been awarded the Fleeb Award, for his efforts in helping the XKI Universtiy. Congratulations TCL! Link:http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread/27916/candy-awarded-fleeb-university-award

The following is the Emissary Report for July, 2014.

Political Events:

Elections for the Himes West and Lyonesse East seats occur during July. Previous Senator of Himes West Witchcraft and Sorcery chose not to run, and so the election was between Ayunli and Barry. Meanwhile, The Candy Lane ran against Senator Ardreas for the Lyonesse East seat. The results were 35-17 in favour of Barry and 39-16 in favour of The Candy Lane. Congratulations to the new Senators and commiserations to those who were not successful.
