Arguably it's good for morale if they're delicious and filling.

They have a morale department? I thought they only use a paper shredder, whenever they get a real complaint.

I’m fairly certain removing half of the Senate, barring others from future participation, the resignation of the Emperor, and actively seeking to diplomatically address grievances is hardly equivalent to ignoring complaints.

But, okay.

Looks like my attempt at humor went in one window and out the other. Lazarus considered the New Pacific Order's assurances as half-hearted and declared war. Though multiple regions didn't believe the New Pacific Order either, so NPO diplomatic efforts currently have a real low success rate. Hence the paper shredder.

I've never tried mutton. There's a recipe for mutton curry in a cookbook I have, I wonder if it's any good.

I loooove mutton. Now, I want some but it stupidly hard to get in the States. Best bet is halal shops or Middle Eastern immigrant enclaves if you have any near you.

While I’m sure the conversation on mutton is enthralling to many, I think it is time for it to end in this thread if you don’t mind?

I think you and I both know the answer to that question, all told. No, not really. I mean, they did get ED from hovering around 315 to now standing around 340, 350. I suppose that’s progress, but unless another one-hundred nations with World Assembly membership happen to turn up randomly and endorse an ascending Emperor who is barely tarting so he can stockpile influence I don’t really see that happening for awhile... how peculiar.

The Delegacy transfer is happening at the rate I have advised. The physical change in leadership can happen safely at any time but we believe that East Durthang should be at 50k of Influence before the changeover takes place. This will take place over the next few weeks.

Thank you for your concern.

Understood. In the event this does not take place over the next few weeks, it can be safely assumed something strange has happened.

This is correct, provided the level reaches 50k by that point. The margin of endorsements is not a concern as the Pacific would likely be safe with even 200 endorsements on the Delegate nation. The primary concern has been the level of Influence the incoming Delegate nation should have. As the Pacific does not operate a guardian-like system we are very careful in how we manage our levels.
