so what do we need to add

[raamatupac]

;D


what is it we need here

[boneofcontention]

I think it would be good if we wrote a short out of character explanation (Our raids are roleplay. We don't use WA nations. We only go on raids once in a while. Founders and delegates have invited us to come... that sort of thing).

Our WFE is in character, which is fun. It would be good if the WFE linked to an OOC text.

Out of necessity, we haven't been out and about conquering regions for a while. Recently arrived players can't be expected to know what The Skeleton Army does. Same with players who don't pay much attention to stuff going on outside their own region. Sometimes people know that there's a resolution text hiding behind that commendation badge, but even this text doesn't spell things out OOC. I've had various conversations with people who had never witnessed a TSA raid anywhere.

An out of character explanation is also helpful for players who are considering creating a nation to join TSA.

[skeletalplague]

We need a top secret room of raid planning. With a neon sign pointing it out so that the army can find it.
And no locks. We are all skeletons, we all are living keys.

Also- a set of rules regarding conduct in TSA might be worthwhile. A stickied code that tells new nations what to expect (raids are RP and we do not wish for actual raiding) so that there are fewer instances of people creating WA nations for actual raiding.

And maybe a wall of "conquests."

[raamatupac]

those are both great ideas i elect you two to write something up....

[boneofcontention]

Aye aye, your Majesty. I'll draft an OOC "About us" and pass it on for review and editing.

I like your ideas, Plague. Code of Conduct, Wall of Conquests, and Top Secret Raid Planning Room (<-- LOOK HERE!).

[skeletalplague]

Yes, the LOOK HERE-----> is very important. We would not wish to have any of our army miss the top secret room.

I will start drafting the code of conduct when I am a little more awake. It is almost time for my dirt nap.

As to the wall of conquests that is easy enough to do and can be done on the fly.

I look forward to seeing what you have written.

Draft 1:

Hear ye! Hear ye! Lend me the spots where your ears once resided oh Army of Skeletons!
We hereby proclimate the following:
We, the Skeletal Army are the mightiest invaders ever and, as such, we do not need to resort to the means and ways of lesser invaders. We use our guts (figuratively speaking), our numbers and our ability to drink others under the table in long-night binges of jovial debauchery.
As such there are a few things that the younger skeletons should know as they join the mightiest raiders that NationStates has ever seen.

Proclamation the first: We do not bother with the World Assembly. Except for a few nations that generally stay back to sing the praises of the mighty and beautiful Raamatupac such nations with WA ties are seen as a threat by those we invade. We want them to know we only wish them to surrender and sign the thighbone as an acknowledgement that we, indeed, do rule all. For Raamatupac's glory of course. Thus nations with WA ties shall stay back during raids. Nations found to try to override the raidees proper delegate shall be found wanting in proper manners and warned. Excessive warnings, as determined by the response of the warned, shall be dealt with in an unfortunate manner. It may even involve kittens. Consider this your first warning.

Proclamation the second: You shall treat others, be they of your region or the region we are raiding with all proper and due respect. We are bloodless, heartless harbingers of doom. No need to be rude about it.

Proclamation the third: No eating of the sticky ribs, tapping of the kegs, mixing of the drinks or sampling of the beerquilla shall happen until the thighbone of surrender is signed by an appropriate representative of the raided region. This is to include any food, drink or form of dance not already mentioned. Except the Macarena. The Macarena may be performed before the signing since it demoralizes the enemy.

Proclamation the fourth: As per Royal Decree flying monkeys shall now be known as FLYIN' MONKEHS. Any false mention of FLYIN' MONKEHS as flying monkeys shall be given the scornful look of "did you not see the royal decree."

Proclamation the fifth: We are not to use high explosives or low humor in the royal garden. Especially not around the roses. Again, I apologize.

Proclamation the sixth: Those who stand idly around too long will be given chores. Such as replanting the royal garden. Once more, I am sorry.

Let me know your thoughts, things to add. Things to remove. Things to add and then remove because you all just want to watch me dance like a trained MONKEH (and you thought I did not know) and I will get to it.

[raamatupac]

Love it......of course try and remember that guests really do need to bring their own towles..........but great

[skeletalplague]

Proclamation the seventh: Guests are encouraged to bring their own towels. What kind of Strag forgets their towel anyway?

[boneofcontention]

Sweet. I like it.

proclimate: I guess this is a deliberately strange version of proclaim?

Are there any points to be remembered regarding a flying ice cream tank? I haven't witnessed its arrival often enough to know well how it works. Any other partying related etiquette?

What's the story about the roses? Come to think of it, is the royal rose garden still in the old region? I can see what I can do about digging up and transporting rose bushes.

[skeletalplague]

of course, I proclimate that proclimate be a word.

The ice cream truck has not entered canon as far as I am aware.

Further rules of party etiquette can be useful if you have some.

And the rose garden. Right. Have I said I am sorry about that? Anyway I kind of blew it up. With C4. Massive amounts of C4. I think it might still be back there, we shall have to bring it forth. With C4. Massive amounts of C4.

[raamatupac]

I remember the ice cream truck, seems to have lost their way.

And I think that some of the old rose bushes are back in the old region
