Region: New West Indies

Just a quick announcement...

The birthday of one of our embassy regions, 21st Century Rome, is coming up, and with that, their annual birthday competition.

To join, please telegram this application to me (21st century rome). Applications must be submitted by October 3rd at 3:59 PM PT. I'll use these to try to put you on a team as best I can by midnight PT on October 3rd (if not before then).

Application to join:
  • Nation name:

  • Region:

  • Nations in your region you do not want on your team: (optional)

  • Nations in your region that you request to be on your team: (optional)

  • Would you prefer your team to communicate through telegrams, discord, or no preference?

  • On a scale from 0-10, how much do you want to try to draw a ridiculous scenario in MS Paint/an equivalent for the competition?
    (0=you don't have MS paint/otherwise can't or won't, 5=you don't really care if you draw or not, 10=you'd be devastated if you can't draw)

    Please agree to the following statement by entering "agree".

  • I will not ask friends or family, or post any questions on the internet, and recognize that is considered cheating:
    Note that you can look stuff up on the internet, you just may not post the questions (but for most days, it won't help you)

Greetings, all!
It's almost that time of year again, when we invite all our embassy allies to participate in our birthday games. Participants will compete in teams of 3, and regions may have as many teams as they can find people to fill. The plan is to have October 4th-5th be used for meeting your teams and a drawing day, and hold the birthday games for starting on the regional birthday (the 6th), lasting a week. Activities for this year:

  • Pictionary-like competition

  • Guess the Movie

  • Guess the Language

  • Pun Guessing

  • Maths

  • Deciphering Ciphers

  • Find the Pumpkin

Each day will have up to 100 points available per team.

FAQs:

  • There is no limit to the number of teams that can join per region

  • Each event will last for 36 hours to give you time to coordinate with teammates on the other side of the world, so you can join without worrying about what time zone you're in

  • Please only register one nation.

  • Teams will be 3 people.

  • You can look stuff up all you want (just don't post the questions online)

  • If you try, you'll be able to help. It doesn't matter if you don't think you're good at any of these.

They've invited the NWI to participate, in fact!
The event will consist of 7 different activities starting on October 6th, including stuff like guessing puns, deciphering and something similar to Pictionary.
People are divided up into three-man teams, so I recommend that you find some regionmates to work together with.

I encourage you to apply to join. The more the merrier, after all.
If you wish to apply, make sure to do it before 7 PM PT, October 3rd.

All roads might not lead to Rome, but this announcement sure does.
