Embassy of Lazarus + News

[Custadia]

I wasn’t the one that brought OOC off site into this, and falsely claimed Lazarus has a furry theme, that was you. Since you won’t take it back, and refuse to, that tells me all I need to know.

You removed all of the greek imagery and made an embassy post announcing the region's new aesthetic: a roleplay furry cult of personality. You themed Lazarus furry without anyone else's input.

Right in the middle of a security crisis, I might add. So it's not like you didn't have better things to do.

I'm all for GCRs burning but a furry cult of personality is actually based

[Altino]

What. Lol. If we are furry themed I sincerely did not notice. What does this have to do with anything?

Guys, I am 98% sure I got banned for being annoying. I do not care if there were furries involved or not. Move on.

Citizenship change in Lazarus
By Eldarion

Lazarus recently amended the Citizenship Act to establish WA citizenship, while allowing for non WA waivers for nations that still want to be citizens, which will establish a more secure system, and provide increased influence and reason for nations to become WA members. This is something that exists in many GCRs and UCRs, including our ally The East Pacific, and Lazarus is exploring this interesting idea to see if it works long term.


Legislative reforms continue
By Eldarion

Domais and New Rogernomics have worked ambitiously to establish new legislative reforms in Lazarus. These include the amendments to the Citizenship Act, and also amendments to the Assembly Procedure Act to refine it into a constitutional law that can provide more flexibility towards the editing of legislation, specifically related to edits to fix grammar or spelling errors, as well as to establish within the Assembly Procedure Act what another constitutional law, the Discretionary Powers Act had duplicated - and has since been repealed.

What is the direction of Lazarus
By Eldarion

I did discuss this last issue but I feel it would be interesting to continue on what is really next, as some may be curious, given all that has been going on lately. Lazarus really has some ambitious ideas that are being brainstormed, but we haven’t finalized them yet.
The first really concerns our Executive Council framework, which is best described as a somewhat different upper house, taking some aspects from the Swiss styled Executive Council, and the general concept of a Senate.

This idea isn’t of course finalized yet, but potentially it can be a truly representative structure, with in game elections establishing Executive Council members, through a regional representatives system, with elections every three or four months so nations can really go from the ground up, and get an understanding of our government and region.

The second idea which is again still being brainstormed is the idea of running in game events on the regional message board, which is something I have tried previously with the Laz Anarchy inspired purge event. This was essentially the idea that what could be missing from the game is regions talking their own initiative to run in game events on the RMB, whether those are brief or long drawn out events. I have been considering the concept of using the NS API in some later bot development too, to allow for basically a listener that will read the RMB, reply to posts, and take in data. And perhaps you might be asking, what could this mean, as it isn’t something I have seen explored.

Well imagine if the regions that wanted to do so, could set up a discord bot that would respond to specific words, or take in information that a nation had posted. You could then in theory use that data to run events like Werewolf, or really anything within reason that doesn’t break any NS rules, and doesn’t do anything that might break the game or break API limits. It is a complex idea, and I am not there yet, but I am getting there in exploring whether this is possible.

And the sort of last idea I have been considering is building up our regional ideology further, and establishing regional ideology into the RMB discussions, but this is maybe something that has to be handled carefully so it doesn’t became a spam like situation, or become more of a distraction from running the region. As while Lazarus does enjoy a good RP, the region should be a place that experiments and explores with RP, and goes with what can be fun and entertaining.


Reading more into theming and regional ideology
By Eldarion

Lazarus has an interesting mix of Greek theme, which only got input from myself once it was established, and a regional ideology of Eudaism which got a lot more input, and it will be interesting to establish both alongside each other. Though it seemingly has detractors who believe Eudaism is a theme, rather than an ideology.

But it gives me more reason to explain the differences between a theme and an ideology, and further expand upon, what is actually been developed rather than the absurd claims which have been leveled against both the theme and the ideology. So it would be perhaps useful not only for people in Lazarus, and in wider Nationstates, to know what has been established so far.

The Greek theme exists in both modern tech and in ancient and medieval times, which I have written lore wise into a curious reinterpretation of Greek Olympian god founding mythology, with the Titans having won against the Olympian Gods and having reframed them as the villains essentially. This includes adaption of poetry, and creating unique Titans with their own backstory and identity. It was eventually going to be developed into a concept of the League of Lazarus, in a modern tech setting, with nations and regions in the League of Lazarus, with various RP factions, and it is something that could be developed further in the future.

Whereas the regional ideology of Eudaism is based more along the lines of the Outer Worlds, as far as initial inspiration. With the general ideal of the Philosophists, and I thought it would be interesting to have a regional faction in this ideology, and then a counter regional ideology to it. So that way it would be interesting cycle of a region having two opposing but beneficial factions, which RP with each other, with both factions losing and winning. Internally it would be taken more seriously than externally of course, but potentially when brought into gameplay it would look like a more regional philosophy with general repetition of quotes, and perhaps that is what it could be misconstrued as a theme.

These both would potentially unite into a harmonious mix, as the regional theme might have a general religion RP, but it lacks the sort of structure of power and the factionalism that comes with two unique opposing ideologies. And this is something that Lazarus can continue to explore well into the future.


Silly uses for AI in Nationstates
By Eldarion

Here are some silly, and probably awful uses for AI in Nationstates:

Repeal: "Universal Code of Goodness"
A resolution to replace previously passed legislation with utter nonsense.
Category: Chaos
Resolution: GA#999
Proposed by: Definitely Not a Lobster
The General Assembly, in its infinite wisdom, decides that GA#999 "Universal Code of Goodness" (Category: International Harmony; Strength: Nonexistent) shall be obliterated and banished to the void of legislative mishaps.
Recognizing that laws are best when written in crayon,
Understanding that no legal system should be bound by such outdated concepts as "justice," "fairness," or "common sense,"
Outraged that previous resolutions have encouraged nations to act with dignity,
Perplexed that anyone thought "goodness" was an objective concept in the first place,
Particularly confused as to why the Universal Code of Goodness applies to sentient beings when we have yet to define the moral standing of animate paperclips,

Horrified that member states may have to cooperate with each other when simply declaring, "I'm not touching you!" should be sufficient diplomacy,
Further observing that the existence of a code implies the need for reading, which is simply unacceptable,
Therefore, regarding the Universal Code of Goodness as

• Superfluous, because nations can just do whatever they want anyway,
• Obstructive, since it prevents world leaders from engaging in interpretive dance diplomacy,
• Elusive, as the word "goodness" has too many syllables,

Alarmed that GA#999 does not contain provisions for free ice cream or mandatory naptime,
The World Assembly hereby repeals GA#999 "Universal Code of Goodness" and replaces it with the Declaration of Eternal Chaos, which consists solely of interpretive sound effects and a firm handshake.

Writing repeals for resolutions that don’t exist

A Poem about cats in Lazarus:
In Lazarus, where order's a jest,
And serious laws put to the test,
The feline decree holds firm and true,
A chaotic spirit, through and through.
No need for a "Code of Goodness" here,
When a purring cat can banish all fear!
Or maybe just trip you, a playful swat,
"My bowl is empty! What are you at?!"
They rule with a paw, a whiskered glance,
Their "interpretive dance" is a midnight prance.
Upon the counters, a furry blur,
Demanding attention, a rumbling purr.
"Justice?" they scoff, with a sleepy blink,
"Is simply more naps, and a hearty drink
Of water from faucets, not from the bowl,
(That stagnant stuff takes a terrible toll!)"
Fairness? A myth, when a sunbeam appears,
First come, first served, despite your own tears.
If you dare to disturb a majestic stretch,
A withering look, a silent "Wretch!"
From "animate paperclips," they stand above,
Their moral compass, a quest for your love.
(And treaties for tuna, and chin scratches too,
A firm handshake? Pfft, a meow will just do!)
So if you seek order, a structured domain,
Lazarus' cats will just laugh at your pain.
For chaos and cuddles, and naps in the sun,
The reign of the feline has truly begun!

What. Lol. If we are furry themed I sincerely did not notice. What does this have to do with anything?

Guys, I am 98% sure I got banned for being annoying. I do not care if there were furries involved or not. Move on.

I don't get that to be honest. Like cool with folks calling me whatever, but I draw the line at like calling me a furry, not in jest, but in a mean light. When I literally have never said I was a furry on site and never used furry to apply to anything in Lazarus.

My bf plays D&D all the time and no one honestly cares if someone uses another species avatar, and I don't see why this has to be relevant in NS. Especially when it was just a random silly avatar I picked for use off site.

I don't know what goes for okay in NS, but I know that Discord has banned folks for harassing and being just plan nasty over furry related bullying and stuff. I know it is still a joke of sorts, and people like to make fun of that group. But I'd prefer we don't end up with random folks accusing each other of being furries, as a way we casually argue on NSGP.

SPECIAL REPORT: FURRY CONVENTION IN LAZARUS GOES WELL

---

Lazarus, Stujenske Square. We are here reporting LIVE as Lazarene dictator New Rogernomics furthers the agenda of the gay furry pacific clique. Lazarus is hosting NationStates' first ever furry convention, even as Roger, not named after Roger Rabbit, insists that this is meant to be a small gathering of his evil defender cabal. However, his discord profile picture appears to have attracted significant confusion, and as a result, he has attracted the most diverse coalition of furries, scalies, and otherkin to Lazarus to just generally vibe and have a good time. Tubbius declined to answer the Leek's requests for comment, simply stating, "mmph mmph" on the phone before attending to making preparations for Christmas. Custadia, noted to also have a cat avatar, was seen rabidly protesting outside, insisting he definitely is not a furry and does not associate with this new lazarene cabal.

Key Takeaways:

• Furries should be left alone or else
• Feux is not a suspected furry at this time, in spite of his alias as Adytus donning a Lord Beerus avatar
• Another victory for the khanate? Certainly lots of wolves about.

Treadwellia becomes longest-serving GCR Delegate
By New Rogernomics (Elarien)

Surpassing a record set by the GCR Delegate Krulltopia, the Delegate of Lazarus, Treadwellia affectionately known in Lazarus as the 'Tubbius', 'His Immensity' or 'the Tubby one', has surpassed all previous records to become the longest-serving Game Created Region Delegate for a single term. This is quite an accomplishment not only for Lazarus but for the wider Nationstates community.

When asked for comment Treadwellia replied with his traditional "Mmph!", and to look on the RMB he appears to already be planning for Christmas festivities. Treadwellia said, "His Immensity just tried to wriggle into The Suit, given He is halfway through the year and must look ahead to His work at Christmas. Much glowing, sparkling Tubbius Magic had to be used to gently stretch all of the garments to His current size. Now, though, that has left His Heftiness very hungry! What is a Tubby to do?"

Krulltopia of The New Pacific Order (The Pacific) previously held the record at 2,277 days, which was recently surpassed by Treadwellia who now stands at 2,281 days in the Delegacy as of the day this article was written.

Congratulations to Treadwellia and all those endorsed him over the years and stood by his Delegacy to make this achievement possible!

[Killer Kitty]

It is unfortunate that this occasion has been marred by the recent purges, coupled with the ever growing paranoid and delusional accusations coming out of the Vice Delegate's office of coups, spies, and conspiracies apparently under every rock and around every corner. All made without evidence, of course.

I take it there has still been no explanation for the purge of Chanku and Altino and no reason given for the stripping of citizenship for Wym and McChimp.

Lazarus should be able to celebrate this event, but unfortunately the number of Lazarus citizens who remain dwindle by the day.

[Rhaza]

I suppose you’d be the expert on delusional conspiracies. Do you plan to ever move on from this one or do you think posting in the thread for another three months will get some people on your side?

[Killer Kitty]

I know you very much dislike me, Rhaza, but try not to let your seething hatred consume you. Six citizens of all alignments have been banned in a less than 50 days period and all you can do is be upset at me.

This isn't about me, Rhaza, this is an issue that is effecting all of Lazarus and might very well determine the future of the region itself.

[The Ice States]

An explanation would probably help to assuage concerns regarding the bans, though I agree that it need not be brought up after every announcement.

[Killer Kitty]

An explanation would probably help to assuage concerns regarding the bans, though I agree that it need not be brought up after every announcement.

The ongoing purges will be ignored and suppressed by the very people who are most responsible for the crackdowns if not hammered home constantly. They won't talk about it, so we must.

You won't get an explanation because the bans weren't justified, they were purely petty political revenge that makes the people who responsible look vedenctive and cruel. They'll never admit their failings and are desperate to make others forget.
