National Leaders' Mini-Golf (NationStates World Fair)

Postby Zwangzug » Wed Dec 06, 2017 10:17 am

Throughout the ages, heads of state have met in summits, treaty signings, and all sorts of diplomatic occasions. This December, they are invited to take to the miniature golf course as part of the NationStates World Fair. Over the course of December 17-20, four rounds of mini-golf will be played on an offsite forum (link to follow), with national leaders having the opportunity to tilt at windmills and mingle with other political putt-putters. Whether you're new to NS Sports or an old hand, all are welcome.

To sign up, post the name of your nation's leader. You may optionally supply a biography of their personality, how they came to power, but this is not required. Please only sign up with one nation.

During the tournament itself, roleplaying (writing media articles about the results, interacting with other characters, etcetera) will earn you a bonus that may increase your probability of success, but as always, this is not a guarantee of any outcome. Please do not godmode or take control of other players' characters, but planning a storyline behind the scenes and co-authoring together is encouraged!

If you have questions, ask below.

Signups:
Erin Splinter (Zwangzug)
Princess Cadance (Equestrian States)
Jim Oullie (Esparmuran)
Tor Tong Lee (Darmen)
Kyle Bolton (Free Republics)
Hue Ñene (Northwest kalactin)

This happens to be a city-state enclaved in my capital, Pomena which means the Holy Emperor Nicola of the Dynasty of Terzi will represent Juvencus. (Confirming the Order of Cardinals and the Pope in Sonnel as my puppet state)
