| Updates! What's Hot In Quasifunland 102 Sad News Earlier this week our Founder, Schotze, decided to take a short break from the game. He will still be around, saying howdy and whatnot, but will no longer be active in an official role. Numbers We are currently quite settled at just above 150 nations; recruitment has been quieter recently but this is more due to the summer die-off season rather than a lack of motivation from our recruiters. UN Freedom Of Conscience voting as follows.... YESterday, all my troubles seemed so far away [6] No, no, never! No, never, no more! [5] I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky. [1] As you can see, we're doing anything to make this voting more fun... Government With the temporary departure of our Senator leaving us a bit stuck, we are currenly voting on whether to alter our Government system. The more democratic alternative is a Council, where members elect a First Councilman Delegate who then appoints the Council of Q102 to run the region. Each Councillor is responsible for running a Ministry. We will update you on the status of this change in the near future. In other Government news, Anime Fandom x was recently appointed Deputy Security Minister, a role which he is performing brilliantly. Foreign Affairs We have opened a new embassy this week, in the region of Canada, after short talks between the Foreign Ministers of Canada and Q102. We are also looking at the possibility of alliances with well-established embassies. We are also hoping to to host an inter-regional conference with Canada on the role and etiquette of Ambassadors Interested people should contact Nevareion(Q102) or Judith Gap(Canada). Security The nations of Gyraphrodite and EvilSlaveKeepers were ejected after UN rule violations and use of offensive language on the forum chatrooms. Hopefully this will serve as a warning to other nations! General The People's Republic Of Loafa has begun organising the Loafstock Festival, to be held later in the year, in which the musical sensations of each nation perform to adoring crowds for the sheer fun of it. Star turns include Farq-Orf, Gitaru Apes, Khatziyannis, Parliament, Pink Crazed Idol Minds, Rock Like A Sissy Girl and The Holy Idiots. Nevareion has also given a new surge of life to our Sporting calendar with the introduction of the Q102 American Football Champions League. Many nations have signed up to play, although as yet most don't really know the rules... However, the games will hopefully be a success - we'll let you know!!! Regional Anthem After discussions revealed an appalling lack of a regional anthem, the nations of Q102 rallied together to thought-shower some ideas. At the moment, the contenders are: -Italian National Anthem (1 vote) -Bulgarian National Anthem (1 vote) -Russian National Anthem (2 votes) -Trinidad and Tobago Anthem (4 votes) plus an imaginative song by Pacifist_Cowards and a short burst of TV song contributed by Haken. |

| Updates! Good News One of our previous nations, Leinstermunster, has made a return to our shores, under the new pseudonym of A Few Good Men. This is excellent news as we were all sad to see him leave, and are overjoyed to see him back among us! UN The Mitigation of Large Reservoirs resolution was voted AGAINST by our Delegate, with 5 votes to 4. The current resolution, the MicroCredit Bazaar, is as stands: Ya! I agree wiv dis van!! [ 0 ] Narn! I aint likininin it!! [ 2 ] Who?! [ 2 ] We're still not impressed with the resolutions, but at least more people are voting on them, which is good. Government We have voted on, and agreed to, the implementation of the new constitution which creates a Council of Q102, led by the First Councilman Delegate. This change in policy is effective immediately. As yet there have been no changes to council members, although a new Ministry of Immigration and Officials has been created to oversee Ambassadors and Recruitment. Delegate Elections With the change in government policy complete, we are holding elections for a new Delegate. Currently the candidates are: Nevareion Pacifist Cowards Muppets0 A Few Good Men The campaign period will begin on Friday 12th August GMT and will end on Friday 19th August. There will then be 5 days for voting, with results being announced on Thursday 25th August. We'll let you know how it goes.... Foreign Ministry Bagpipia has been appointed the Deputy for Foreign Affairs, making her a Minister under our new policy. We know she will do an excellent job, and hope you all join us in congratulating her on her promotion. smile.gif Interregional Conference on Ambassadors The conference hall of Q102 has been opened to Foreign Ministers world-wide, with the welcoming party in full swing. As discussing have not yet begun, there is still time for Foreign Ministers of inerested regions to register on the forums and have their say. Please inform forum moderators on your arrival, so that you may be granted posting rights in the conference topic. General The football championships are getting underway, with 9 nations currently having teams. The actual games will not start for a few weeks, though, while nations prepare and the stadiums are brought up to standard. |

| Updates! Good News! Calm Minds, another of our older nations who took a reasonable break, has returned to us! He is still not back in any official role, but we are mighty glad to see him again! Three cheers for Calm Minds!! Numbers Our numbers have been rising this week, with a high of 165. We are currently at 161, but a surge in recruiting by several people has really made a difference! UN The Microcredit Bazaar was voted AGAINST by our Delegate, Peachydom, and the Transgender Equality Act was an ABSTAIN as most people were neither against nor in favour of the proposal. The new resolution has yet to be voted on. Or even read. Delegate Elections The election is now down to 3 candidates, as Muppets0 resigned from the race. Our current Delegate, Peachydom, is not running, and we shall miss his unique style as delegate as he returns to being a private citizen of the region. Campaigns have now ended, with official voting beginning today. The polls will be open to all citizens for five days, after which time the votes will be counted and the results announced on Thursday the 25th of August. Who will win? No one knows..... Foreign Ministry We have opened a new embassy with The Proletariat Coalition and are awaiting the outcome of our elections before reviewing a proposed consulate in The Black Land and the possibility of joining the EAA. Interregional Conference on Ambassadors This is still ongoing, and ambassadors/Foreign Ministers (or equivalent) are still more than welcome to stop by and have their say. Currently being discussed are the Behaviour and Activities of Ambassadors, and their Reports. The Conference Party is pretty fun, too! Please inform forum moderators on your arrival, so that you may be granted posting rights in the conference topic. General OOC: Exam results have been a hot topic this week, with many nations receiving theirs. As far as we can tell, most people are reasonably happy. We have been rating films we have recently seen, with the popular ones being Jeux d'Enfants, Phantom Of The Opera, Spirited Away and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We have also been discussing how people pronounce our region's name. The general (and correct) consensus is Q 1-oh-2 rather than Q one-hundred-and-two, in case you were wondering smile.gif Quotes of the Week Peachydom

Interregional Conference on Ambassadors The conference is wrapping up, and the final draft is nearly ready. More on this will be included in the next report General OOC: Everyone is heading back to school, with many people off to attend university. As a result, our board has been less active than usual. Some of our hot topics of late: Q102 Regional Anthem: We are currently trying to decide on an anthem for our region. Ever Get That Feeling?: In this thread, we discuss what we do while at work to keep ourselves entertained. Nev's Uni Help Line: A fairly new, yet popular thread started by our First Councilman Delegate, Nevareion. He has kindly offered his extensive knowledge about all aspects of university. As there are many newcomers to university life, Nev has proven to be a very helpful resource. |
