House Cup and Shield Competition May 2021

[Kohnhead]

Hello Everyone!

It's now time for the next House Cup and Shield Competition which will take placein the month of May from May 1st to May 31st

I would like to remind all house founders/ stewards to update their house roster, separating active members from CTE ones and marking accelerator eligible nations accordingly.


The following rules apply for accelerator eligibility:

1. You must be a WA Islander.
2. You must have a forum account for at least 2 months.
3. You must have made at least 10 posts in the forum.

Please notify me here in this thread when your roster is up to date.

If you don't have an Accelerator Account you can apply here (This is necessary if you'd like to participate).


The event will proceed as followed:

House Cup Plan:

• The competition will run for a period of one month. The competition will begin one month after the election of the Lyonesse East Senator. It is the LE Senator's responsibility to build awareness among house leaders and in house threads about the competition leading up to the starting date.
  
  
• During the week leading up to the starting date, the LE Senator will remind House leaders to update their rosters. CTE nations will be placed in a separate section, and WA nations should have (WA) placed next to their name.
  
  
• During the period of the competition, participating nations will utilize the Accelerator to contact new nations and recruit them to the Islands.
  
  
• The Accelerator calculates a [monthly point total based on the recruiter's performance. At the end of the competition week, the LE Senator will access the Top Recruiters page of the Accelerator to determine the points accumulated by each participant. The LE Senator will then contact the Immigration Minister to receive the total for each recruiter of nations that came to XKI for the duration of the competition. The recruiter will earn twenty points for each successful recruit.
  
  
• The LE Senator will then add these points to a House Grand Total, each participant's points being added to their House's total. The House with the largest Grand Total wins the House Cup. The LE Senator will then calculate a per capita total based on the number of Accelerator-eligible nations in the House. The House with the largest per capita value wins the House Shield. These awards remain with the house until the next competition.
  
  
• In order to qualify for participation in the House Competition, the house rosters must be updated and reviewed by House Founders/stewards one day before the start of the Competition. Failure to do so will render the house ineligible to compete.

Additionally, the house of the nation that sends over 500 telegrams and ends up having the highest percentage recruitment success rate wins the House Sceptre, provided they are willing to share their telegram.

(Please note that unlike the House Cup and the House Shield, the House Sceptre does not qualify as a House Competition that is mandated by law under the current House Achievement Plan.)

If you have any further questions concerning the House Competition, feel free to ask me here!

Thank you, Kohnhead!

Just so everyone knows an error was brought to my attention, in my original post I had stated that Thedairos and the House of the Tasmanian Islands had won the House Sceptor. However this is not correct as I had looked at the points as opposed to TGs sent and so Thedairos does not reach the necessary 500 TGs sent.

In actuality the House Scepter goes to Free Las Pinas and the House of Aersoldorf.

My apologies for the mistake and thank you for pointing it out to me

[Free Las Pinas]

Thanks for running this, Kohnhead!

[i]With [u]10,000[/u] picturesque islands, your nation is bound to fit somewhere![/i]

Greetings, I'm the Arch-Commissar of Free Las Pinas, and I'm happy to help wherever you see fit.

First things first, you’ve arrived in the semi-problematic nation-simulation browser game, NationStates. And to explain the massive flood of telegrams coming your way... let's just say you are a [b]HOT[/b] commodity in a world of over 25,000 regions, and I am one of dozens other of people coming over to you to make their pitch.

Now, you likely came looking for a game wherein you can create maps, lore, flags, and more with your customized nation. But if you’re anything like me, you’ll stay for the positive and vibrant community you’ll find, specifically in my region, [b][region]10000 Islands[/region][/b], the region I invite you to join! [b](◍•ᴗ•◍)[/b]

10000 Islands is a stunning and friendly archipelago of islands renowned for its white-sand beaches and blue-green waves. You’ll also find that we are home to the [b]Ten Thousand Islands Treaty Organization[/b] (TITO) - a renowned army all over the NationStates meta-verse that defends innocent regions by standing up for them against their invaders. It has been our mission to do so for almost 20 years, and we'd be proud to have you alongside us. Of course, TITO is not obligatory, and you are free to play the game however you like.

We may be a region of well over 1,000 member states, but we always have room for more, and we will, to the best of our ability, try to make 10000 Islands the best region for you. In fact, I wasn't really in the best place mentally a few months ago due to losses caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, yet despite that, I've found some people and a place here that truly makes me happy, and I truly owe so much to the community I've found here. So among others, here are some things that you may find in 10000 Islands:

[u]Security[/u] - Our World Assembly Delegate is among the most endorsed in all of NationStates having hundreds of endorsements making us influential in the World Assembly. In fact, there have been times our Delegate was the most endorsed throughout all of NationStates, wherein 10000 Islands was the first region to have a Delegate with more than 1,000 endorsements. We also have the Ten Thousand Islands Brigade of Official Endorsers (TIBOE), who ensure that the Delegate continues to be endorsed and also maintains a high amount of endorsements. Have you forgotten about TITO? I hope not! TITO, our defensive military, is one of the most accomplished armies out there having completed over 3500 missions and continuing to be one of the biggest militaries out there!

[u]Politics[/u] - Islanders who have joined the World Assembly get the privilege of being recognized as a citizen of the Islands. These people are able to vote on our World Assembly polls, which decides the vote of our World Assembly Delegate, vote for senators and future delegates of the Islands, and run for office!

[u]Enthusiasm & Culture[/u] - 10000 Islands is an old region, having been formed in 2003, and has rapidly grown since then. We offer a variety of events, such as a Poet Laureate Contest every four months, visits to neighboring regions, and games of Werewolf. You can also spam away in Taco Island, a board found in our forum, or #taco-island-spam, a channel found in our discord server. In our forums and discord, we plan smaller events more flexibly, such as playing Among Us, watching movies together, and discussing real-life-politics or in-character politics (which could also be done in [b][region]A Taco Archipelago[/region][/b]).

Moving to our region is easy. All you need to do is click the button to do so on the bottom of this message. Hope to see you wash up on our shores! Or, uhh, bring a ship for your people too? I mean, the kids! I doubt a whole lot of them know how to swim!

[i]Sincerely,
Arch-Commissar Ryu Sora Haruki of [nation]Free Las Pinas[/nation][/i]

[Paffnia]

Congrats House of Wordy, Free Las Pinas, and House of Aersoldorf!
