News from The Great Land of the Moon
23rd July 2006
Nations: 116
Delegate: Wrathful People
Region Age: 47 Days
Creator: Anglo Germany
Contributors: Willowinds and EMC
Region
The Forums have been active in recent weeks.
Forums
Two threads have seen a fair number of postings: "Where do you come from?", as forum members get to know a little more about one another, as well as "Favourite Quotations".
The Fun and Games forum continues to be popular, especially the game, "Who Will Post Next?". Is it possible someone is checking to see who's online before he/she posts? No, that would be cheating, wouldn't it?
Roleplaying
There has been a short Civil War in Maxentia, after the king went insane and attempted to murder the senate. After foreign intervention from Anglo Germany and Willowinds on behalf of the Senate, they are now in control of the country and have deposed the king, however the Black Plague Terrorists are now involved, and who knows where the violence will end.
The New Nation Reception, designed as a beginner role-play to encourage all nations to participate, has continued in earnest, with many new national representatives appearing at the reception, the newest being the Ambassador from Haraland.
Ashes of Reito was actually designed to be a treasure hunt, where adventurers, treasure hunters and archeologists would try to battle wits with the daemons and spirits haunting both the outskirts of the ruins, and the most powerful and evil spirit , Hirobi, trapped within the walls of the temple itself. It's the tale of how these adventurers get to where they are going, and what they find once they get there.
Government
The Great Land of the Moon has opened Embassies in Aberdeen, Hyrule, The East Pacific and The West Pacific.
UN Voting
UN International Emergency Number - Voted FOR.
UN Freedom of Scientific Research - Voted AGAINST.
Any questions or comments post them below and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

[/color] We are pleased to unviel Charon The Great Land of the Moon's capital city. This looks to be a great way to help people put thier creative and diplomatic skills to new heights. Charon is a great way to kick off our new forum. RP News:Lots of posting has been done during this past week and one of our newest members started things up with Celebration of Sir Metz, a nice looking start in the celebration of a nation's birthday. Great beginning and an unexpected ending but there is promise of continuation soon. Moonlight Academy Is another new thread designed with new RPers in mind, our Minister Of Role Playing will be one of the people in charge of this RP and will be able to give tips to those who need it. The Ashes of Reito is an interesting treasure hunting thread set amongst ancient ruins with people facing good versus evil. The Kami the Oni and the Zarubi...oh my! Lombardian Ball looks like it is picking up with lots of fun and humor. A diplomatic part is just what we need. We have a sectioned off part of the Role Playing realm just for war threads. It seems to have gotton on to an interesting start with these threads: Minaris/Minaris Military War seems to be getting to a close soon. Hopefully, peace will come to this nation. The Battle for Kaito Is another great war thread to keep an eye on. End of the Story is just getting kicked off with some great stuff happening there. Government Stuff:UN Resolution: UN Educational Aid Act Voted Against Other Stuff[/color] We're happy to see that our region grew by a few more nations within the past few days. Our forum continues to see a good amount of activity. The switch from our old forum to the new is almost complete. Everyone has taken part in this transition and I would like to thank everyone. This new forum is just what TGLM needed! While we've lost a couple of threads in the transfer, the invisionfree forum seems to be much more user-friendly. Speaking of our forum, we have been experiencing a few technical bugs in our new forum and if you have any problems with anything you should ask the Founder, Delegate or any of our MODs and they'll help you as quickly as possible. Hopefully, with school starting in most places, more people will start pouring in. Well that's it for another update! I do have to appologize for this being late. RL stuff going on for me and an absent Anglo Germany has gotton me behind in my work. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, feel free to ask myself or Anglo Germany.[/QUOTE] |

a little late due to ambassadors... [/color] 6th October 2006[/b] Nations: 123
Delegate: Willowinds
Region Age: 105 days
Founded on June 5, 2006, TGLM just celebrated its fourth month of existence! Despite watching the overall NS population drop from over 106000 nations at the beginning of the summer down to a little over 101000 nations now, TGLM has remained constant at around 120 nations! Congratulations to the hard work of our recruiting team! Add to that the fact that we lost our first delegate and moved to a new forum, and the region's growth has been a success story from day one!
Considering that a majority of our posts come from RP, we've chocked up close to 10 000 posts in just four months between the two forums! Not bad for a new region! 
There are still a few party hats and balloons left over from the festivities! 
Government (The Top Secret One which hides its Existence... )The updated version of Appendix A of the Constitution, "Roles and Responsibilities of the Founder, Delegate and Ministers" was discussed in the Planetarium's House of Members, and then brought to vote and passed.
Similarly, Appendix B, "Guidelines for RP", went through exactly the same procedure.
The formation of a new Ministry, The Ministry of Strategic Planning and Analysis is currently being voted on, although it appears to have almost unanimous support. One of the first mandates of the new Ministry will be looking at the broad outlines of democracy within the region, and at various options for implementation. What makes this Ministry unique is that not only will it examine issues brought before it by other government Ministries, but by Members of TGLM itself, giving Members a much greater voice in how the region is run.UN VotingRepeal "Support Hemp Production"- FOR
Outlaw Necrophilia- AGAINST
Freedom of Assembly- AGAINST"Let the Good Times Roll" ForumsAs always, the "Chat Aways" and "Fun and Games" forums remain active, with the game "Last One to Post Here" way ahead in number of posts. You know, you'd think that after a while, people would get the idea that this one is a game you just can't win ...
Our "Quizzes" forum is telling us far more about our members than we really want to know. You have no idea how many seductive flirts we have around!
As for our "Arcade Games", our Delegate has received 5 PM's to date asking her to remove specific games. Apparently they are becoming harmful to the health of some of our members! Can anyone say "addictive personality disorder"? In the Role-Play Arena ...In The Moonlight Roleplay Academy, the students have received their first assignment. Meanwhile, they are trying to cope with their problems, whether they're due to magick, genetics, or just plain being ornery.
In "Warrior of the Deadlands: Adventures of Lorn", a new Dark Elf has joined in the efforts. However, the group has been attacked by ogres in the caves! Will the prince survive? Will Hokiju and Aruko figure out their past? Will Lorn finally be able to repent for what he had done? Tune in to find out!
Six very different characters have come together in "Bainram's Bar", a small bar in the middle of nowhere. A Lephrechaun, a female mage who senses approaching evil, a soldier who believes himself to be a savior, a tall, string bean of a man with magical abilities beyond those of even the mage, another soldier who seems to shun all those around him and a very strange barkeeper. It's making for an ... interesting ... evening.
The viral "Epidemic" that kills, and then leaves the dead ... undead ... continues to baffle the TGLM scientists. While Willowinds has attempted to solve the riddle with open borders, Minaris has sealed itself shut in attempts to protect itself. (Good thing they can be self-sufficient for quite a while!) Kyato, the nation from where the original virus first spread has now quarantined half the country, while a new nation, Kel-thuzad has introduced itself by entering Willowinds and contacting the scientists in one of the nation's Level 4 Containment labs. New to the Forums... Bold, bright, in-colour, mesmerising...Ok. We now have a C-box. Cool little gizmo!
At the request of members, an off-topic forum for debating and/or discussing RL issues has been opened.
That's it for this report. Should you have any comments/questions/complaints, don't hesitate to post them here, and I'll get back to you ASAP! [/QUOTE] |

Greeting From TGLM
Update 10Saturday, October 21th, 2006[/color][/b] Nations: 138 Delegate: Willowinds Region Age: 119 Government:[/color] TGLM is excited about the first elections. That's right. You heard it first here. After our Minister of Internal Affairs disappeared  , we now have The Bananafruit as our new MoIA. If you see The Bananafruit around, make sure to congratulate him. The vote was very close with the tie- breaker coming in on the last day of voting. The first steps toward Democracy! Gotta love it! UN Voting[/color] Marriage Protection Act: Against Fair Sentencing Act: For Repeal "Establish UNWCC": Against "Let the Good Times Roll" Forums[/color] Spectacles is a new poll in the Chat Aways part of the forum where people are now discussing the need of glasses, contacts or the fear of looking too geeky. If you can not read this then you probably need glassesThe Delegate's Office has now moved to the Chat Aways as members of the forum are trying to commit ill will to our Delegate. Where is the love? A new game has hit the forum, First To A Hundred Wins! Already up to the eighties. Come on over and maybe you will be the lucky 100th person to post. Maybe even win a free..well, we'll get back to you on that. Role PlayingStudents are learning how to RP correctly in Miss Lunita's class in Moonlight Academy and it looks like they are finally coming together as a group, working together to form their own RP. A RP inside of a RP, this should be very interesting to watch. One of the students is having a hard time with attendance right now as he keeps blowing things up. Oh my, better keep an eye on your things around this youngster. The small group in Bainram's Bar has met with several incidents these past couple of weeks. A hunter after the Half-Elf/Half-Wizardess came along to wreck the bar but was banished sucessfuly by a lephrechaun. The scene suddenly changes when one of the small group decided to threaten the lives of everyone within the bar due to a posession and during all of this, a dragon appears to help things settle down a bit. Now, we have two people fighting for the love of a woman's heart. Lots of activity you will not want to miss out on. After battling through ogres, a fire dragon and other obstacles, our small band of adventurers finally made it to the Elven City in The Warrior of the Death Lands. Will the Elven Prince make it safely to where he needs to go? Will the small band part ways in peace? Stay tuned to find out. Welcome to Middle Age Adventure! A newer RP where the castle is under siege and all hope relies on a message of help. What will happen to this poor kingdom? Will the enemy take over and all hope be lost? Come and check it out. New to the Forum:The forum has an all new look to it, sub forums were created to give the forum a more "organized" look. The members seem to be happy with this. The Off Topic Forum is a place for friendly debates to happen. Marriage, abortion and a couple other issues are in discussion right now. Come and check it out. That is it for another update and as always, if you have any questions feel free to ask me at any time.

Greeting From TGLM
Update 11Saturday, November 11, 2006[/color][/b] Nations: 151 Delegate: Willowinds Region Age: 140 days Government:[/color] As TGLM moves ever closer to becoming a democratic region, the "White Paper on Ministerial Accountability" is currently being reworded and "Electoral Timing and Conduct" is up for discussion in the Members' Discussion Room of the Planetarium. TGLM and Europa have furthered diplomatic ties by exchanging embassies. UN Voting[/color] Chemical Transport Systems - abstain Sustainable Agricultural Centre - in favour Repeal "Sexual Freedom" - against Repeal "Hearing Aid Impaired Act" - against, solely because of repugnant wording "Let the Good Times Roll" Forums[/color] Still not sure what Willowinds, our Delegate, has done to harrass so many people, but so far, over 200 posts have battered her, covered her in cement, stolen her clothes and so on! Not only that, but over 1300 people have read about it! Also, the Fun & Games continue as always as our members continue their feax sub-plots, battles, and jokes. Role PlayingIn Moonlight Academy, the class has been held in first because the second period teacher is ill. Also, Aarshu has found an object that has granted him the powers of cyrokinesis and thermokinesis. Gio has claimed to have worked with thermokinetics before... he still has not told much of his past, but with Carol poking around his mind and his odd antics, he probably will be confronted about it soon. Johann has been revealed to have a doppelganger alter self inside him that can come out of him. This side is evil and may very well kill everyone if not stopped. Miss Lunita has called upon an old student who had a similar problem, but will he help? Carol has revealed her powers to Loraina, and Loraina is still a bit out of the internal dynamic. Finally, Shane overheard Gio and Aarshu's conversation of the object and has joined in. In Bainram's Bar, Tokugawa brings out a pet-looking creature that entertains the crowd. Things between everyone seem to be going good until Bain assaults MacGuffin for some incident. He retreats and brings out some guards. He has since calmed down and now they have stopped fighting. Hydruko has taken some truth serum (free after Bain accidentally gave him the wrong stuff) and is now under its influence. Without self-control, what will Hydruko do? How long will the peace last? And what of Tokugawa, Glory Old, and the others? What's in store for the group? In The Warrior of the Death Lands, the Elder has revealed that Hokiju has another being inside him. Also, Nolla's powers are revived. As the Elder tells the group where to take the prince, they are attacked and the Elder is felled. The group headf toward the mountain, but as they camp out, Nolla is kidnapped. Now Enthalas, Lorn, Due, and Hokiju and Aruko have to rescue her. Will the group keep together or will their hate for each other kill them? Will the Prince be safe? In Middle Age Adventure, the Achmelian forces of Middle Eastern Earth are on their way. Also, the second wave is beginning to subside. Will the castle stand? New to the Forum:The forum itself has a slightly different "feel" to it ... The afternoon our Founder decided to fill it with full moons, there was great fear that between werewolves and magic moons that took us to various sites around the web, no one would ever be able to get home again, let alone post anywhere. :lol: After much laughter and cries of "Horror!", the moons have all but disappeared, and we have a terrific new look. That is it for another update and as always, if you have any questions feel free to ask me at any time.

[/color][/b] Sunday, November 26, 2006[/color] Nations: 157 Delegate: Willowinds GovernmentTGLM has just formed its first alliance. We and the RED SOX NATION have signed a Peace Treaty, something both regions have been working on for some time. We're still in the process of picking up champagne corks. The House of Members has just voted to accept the first part of the bill dealing with the "Timing and Conduct of Elections". The second part of the bill, dealing with lengths of terms of office and the number of consecutive terms a candidate may hold office, is currently up for vote. The bill dealing with "Ministerial Accountability", which was being voted on at the time of the last update, was passed. TGLM is well on it's way to becoming a full democracy! Also up for "vote" is the election of our new Minister of Cartography. UN ResolutionsRepeal "Public Domain" - In favour Unconventional Arms Accord - In favour UN Fair Wage Convention - Against "Let the Good Times Roll"Chat AwaysThe look of the forum has changed AGAIN... next on TLC: Extreme Makeover, Forum Edition! Thanksgiving has come and gone. Bananafruitians feast on leftover turkey until mid-January! Our founder has given up smoking, picking up a hunk of man named "Ancelt" in it's place! Is O.J. crazy? My magic 8-Ball says "Ask Again Later... (okay, I didn't say yes, now get that knife away from me!!!)" Fun and GamesStill rolling... Off-TopicThe topic du jour - illegal MP3 downloads, ethical or no? Let me listen to my collection front to back, and I'll get back to you (a month or so from now)! Role PlayingThe RP Acadamy gets stranger by the minute! Students with powers, the god of destruction causing chaos and a cool guy with attitude are all pulling together to make a very fun read. Come and check it out, you may laugh, cry or run away screaming. I know I almost did. Epidemic What do you get when you put a vampire scientist alone with a beautiful scientist? Trouble and that is what is going on right now. A vampire falls in love but neither of them are willing to admit their feelings for each other. An evil mistress comes along and throws a fit and now two Moon Children show up to throw in an interesting mix of love, hate, fear and unease. Will everyone be able to figure out a way to stop this virus? Stay tuned. If you are looking for a whacked out group of people locked in together in a whacked out kind of bar than look no further. Bainram's Bar has this and lots more to offer. A Leprechaun in love with an Elf, Mr. Bain in love with the same Elf tries to accuse the Leprechaun of being some pretty nasty things. The Elf stands up for what she believes is right but the pressure is on. Others just seem to be laying around or crying in corners, so come on by and join them. The Warrior of the Death Lands, Lorn has now gotton himself into a real pickle. The woman that was protecting the child got kidnapped and Lorn lost the baby Elf Prince, along with half of the group they were travelling with. Alone with a Dark Elf, Lorn must figure out a way to get the woman away from two very dark and evil creatures, one of which is a fire dragon. The other creature is half spider-half man, hey I wonder if he likes wearing red and chasing down that beautiful M.J. Oops, sorry wrong story. Anyway, come check it out. That is all for this edition of the TGLM Update. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me.[/QUOTE] |

TGLM Update #13Saturday December 9, 2006Number of Nations: 158 UN Delegate: Willowinds, Eminence Grise % of UN Nations Endorsing UN Delegate: 93.2% GovernmentOur New Minister of Cartography, Khareign, was acclaimed. The "Timing and Conduct of Elections", the legislation outlining when, in what groupings, lengths of terms and maximum number of consecutive terms has now passed the House of Members. The final piece of legislation necessary to hold TGLM's first elections for all positions, "Decision Making in TGLM re: Founder Vetos" is now up for discussion in the Members' Discussion Area. Once this legislation passes, TGLM will be ready to hold it's first elections for all Cabinet Positions, including that of Delegate, sometime in late December, or, to prevent conflict with the holidays, early January. The Ministry of Strategic Planning and Affairs is currently doing an independent study of our recruiting and retention statistics within the region. The study has been ongoing for some time in an effort to see what can best be done to minimise efforts and maximise returns in that area. Our thanks to Donchatryit, Minister of MoSPA, for his work on the Blue Papers that have been passed leading us on our path to democracy, and for the work MoSPA is doing at the request of the Members of TGLM. UN ResolutionsRepeal "World Heritage List" - In favour Repeal "Due Process" - In favour "Let the Good Times Roll""Chat Aways"In true TGLM style, November 29 was granted it's own special status by Kyato, our RP MOD: In retribution for having to work his browser without his mouse, November 30 has also gone down in TGLM history: Fortunately, our RP MOD has since recovered from the following episode (author refused to be named ): Rumour has it that despite the comfy white jacket, he is learning to type quite well with his toes ... :rolleyes: "Fun and Games"What is it that keeps people going back to arcade games that they can't possibly win? :lol: Our big time attraction this month seems to be "Block Frenzy". Remember the game of Labrynth? Pull out a block and see when the tower tumbles? Good. This is nothing like that ... "Off-Topic Forums"Afraid we still can't give you a verdict on pirated music downloaded from the net. Our ... uh ... er ... "deciders" ... still have their earphones on ... Role-Play Galactic Peace Conference is an opportunity for all nations within TGLM to travel to the country of The Eternal Moon Children to engage in Peace Talks, and possibly begin talks regarding the exchange of Embassies/Consulates within countries. The evening has begun with a social gathering. Welllll ... the "Epidemic" is still in progress and things are starting to get worse. No signs of a cure and Paragon Spec-ops are now trying to steal the Tyrant, Helena, who is crucial to finding a cure, out of the Willowindsian lab. In "The Warrior of the Death Lands", Enthelas and Lorn are closing on Nolla's captors and it appears that things could get messy...! Feel free to visit us on the Great Land of the Moon forums. That is all for this edition of the TGLM Update. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to post them and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
