A New NS-Family Focused Region!

You’re missing out on an exciting level of Gameplay!

NationStates families are gatherings of like-minded players who share fellowship, support, and knowledge. It is not unusual for a NS family to have members in several different regions.

Edlhus is a unique new region focused on the NationStates families!

In Edlhus, your NS family means something.

If you aren’t yet in a NS family, this is the best place to explore your options.

Inter-family intrigue and competition are promoted, while collegiality and courtly manners are maintained. As outlined in the constitution, The Edicts of Edlhus, The Great Houses are the region’s legislature, and every six months they elect the Imperator (delegate). A Great House is any NS family that has been in existence for at least a year and has at least one citizen in the region. Interactions between families are governed by The Code of Comport, which also serves as the basis for gaining regional prestige.

Beginning September 1st, the official “founding” of Edlhus, families will be able to earn House Points to improve their Precedence in the region.

Join now to begin your quest to prove that your family is the best in NationStates!

Hype it up whoop whoop \o/

This should definitely allow for a new emergent dimension to gameplay.

This is a GP forum, you're welcome to advertise here, but might be worth advertising your RP to other RPers.

NS families have long been a feature of GP, thus this belongs right where it is.

While NS families are certainly part of GP, I appreciate the suggestion to also advertise in the RP area.
Thank you!

Thankfully moderation has disagreed and moved prior NS weddings and the like to F7 where it belongs. As I've said in the past, still think NS families are weird and often cross the line into creepy.

Yes, sometimes they do. That's unfortunate.

Strongly second this. I recommend to the people in charge of this region that you keep a close watch on the goings-on of the NS families involved, as there is absolutely the potential that these things can turn into toxic/predator/otherwise unpleasant situations. Just for the sake of protecting new players.

Would they welcome the Trump family? We are very noble, the greatest nobles in fact believe me. We have ruled Britannia for eons. Very good rule.

I’m sure they would, except that Hallo has come out against creepy families..

I’m not in anybody’s family, which is a bit cringe.

By the ominous sound of this I thought it was a dating site. I am glad I am wrong. I may be corrupt, but I have some standards.

:lol: I literally made it up on the spot! But of course all the good ideas have already been taken.

I would go with HaloMatch, but I'm sure that is a subsidiary of Christian Mingle or something. :lol2:

Pretty excited for this, ngl. Yes, NS families can get out of control, but they can also be a wonderful group of people full of friends and support. I have all the faith in Halo to manage the region properly and keep out drama and toxicity.

Truthfully, the Moreaux fam has been nothing short of a real family to me. We support and lean on each other in the hard times, and joke around and be dumb together in the good times. I count my blessings each day and my little second family is one of them.

So please don't look at this insta negatively, because I really think it has some promise in opening up dialogue about what families [i]should[i] be like, and to help connect people in a way that wasn't previously available.
