Hope you enjoyed it! Please people. Contribute to this report. We need to get this out there... |

Forums
The regional population may have picked up, but the forums are not getting any new members, and the forums pretty much appear to be a dead zone.
Government

It is a hope of many members that the new Regional Cabinet will determine if Hyrule can pull through this "depression," of sorts.
South Malaysia has moved forward in the Hyrule for Tomorrow campaign but interest in it, is extremely low from member activity and voting.

Roleplaying Guidelines Act
Hyrule has recently started an Ammendment which will clarify the guidelines for the Roleplaying section of the forums. It will hopefully be finished soon.
Roleplay
Recently, there has been a lack of activity in the roleplay boards, but there has been an ongoing thread in the Artificial Reality section:
The Brigands War
Futuristic Clamparapa and Canton Rouge have been caught up in a war against rebels. They have suceeded so far in evacuating villages but what will happen when a terrible weapon is discovered?
The Job Directory
The Directory is a first-time thing for Hyrule. It lists all the jobs Hyrule has to offer, informing new members of what they can do to make their experiances more engaging and exciting in Hyrule. All they need to do is send an application to the corresponding minister and they will recieve a response as to whether they were accepted or not.

Anyone got any quotes or anything before this goes out? Anything that is missing?
EDIT: What I want to do for this update is that it goes out on the 24th of March. All ambassadors who sent it, post that you have, on the same day.
Also, I want all active ambassadors to post in this thread between now and March 24th, so that we know who is available. We need someone to take over for SM, as he is away. (If not, I'll just take his regions)
So, TSIU (To Sum It Up)
Ambassadors:
1. post in this thread that you are here and available for the update.
2. post the Commoner into your region(s) on March 24th
3. on the day you post the Update (which should be March 24th), report in this thread that you have done so
Any questions? Feel free to ask me anything before the Commoner goes out.

I'm here but do we have to go through the entire process of choosing embassies or do I still have my two regions (Canada and UK)?

Post by Mr. Durandal on Mar 21, 2008 11:18:25 GMT -5
Stick with the embassies you have. There's a list in the ambassador team thread. If you want more just post that you do.
