Ashrstan please don't double post here or I'll spouse-ground you

It's not supposed to be a buzz-killer, it's supposed to be inspiring 😄

Croatian flag is the best!

Also now I'm depressed.... My mum played All The Young Girls Love Alice.... That song is so dark... The meaning highlights a very important issue though.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Watching Alice

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7Tp5vdlllQ

"Alice wakes
It is morning
She is yawning
As she walks about the room
Her hair falls down her breast
She is naked and it is June

Standing at the window
I wonder if she knows that I can see

Watching Alice rise year after year
Up in her palace, she's captive there

Alice's body
Is golden brown
Her hair hangs down
As she brushes it one hundred times
First she pulls her stocking on
And then the church bell chimes
Alice climbes into her uniform
The zippers on the side
Watching Alice dressing in her room
It's so depressing, it's cruel

Watching Alice dressing in her room
It's so depressing, it's true"

Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Hanging with the raisin girls
She's gone to the other side
Givin' us the old heave ho
Things are getting kind of gross
And I go it's sleepy time
This is not really, this, a-this
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh, you bet your life
It's a peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword
She knows what's going on
Seems we got a cheaper feel now
All the sweeteaze are gone
Gone to the other side
With my encyclopedia
They musta paid her a nice price
She's putting on her string bean love
This is not really, this, this
This is not really happening
You bet your life it is
You bet your life it is
Oh, you bet your life
It's a peel out the watchword
Just peel out the watchword
Never was a cornflake girl
Thought that was a good solution
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl?
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys, girl?
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys?
Rabbit, where'd you put the keys?
Where'd you put the keys, girl?
And the man with the golden gun
Thinks he knows so much

God save the cornflake!

Speaking of your flag, my family spent, like, 700 dollars on a beautiful tree with berries, pinecones and snow.

It looked like beautiful, not gaudy, in the decorations we've had for years. Even my first ornament was there! It was a little portrait of Santa and it was so cute. It would be nice though if my family.... weren't so cold and sarcastic to me during holidays 😬 eeeesh

Congrats on GoodKingWenceslas on their delegacy.

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a wonderful new year! I'm here to announce that signups for Oatland's Winter Games are now open. The games are open to everyone in Christmas so I hope to see some of you here.

2019 Oatland Winter Games

The Oatland Regional Games are an international sporting event held in Oatland. Its purpose is to promote sporting excellence and international brotherhood. The games are biannual, with winter games held in February and summer games held in June. Each game consists of numerous events in which athletes compete for the gold, silver and bronze metal. This years winter game has eight events: Figure Skating, Cross Country Skiing, Ice Hockey, Freestyle Skiing, the Biathlon, Alpine Skiing, Curling and a new event, Bobsledding.

Example roster:

Eligibility
The games are open to all nations that are residents of Oatland, all nations that are residents of a region that has an embassy with Oatland and all nations which have previously competed in the games.

This list should contain the full name of each competing athlete as well as the event they will competing in.

The exception is the team events, ice hockey, curling and bobsledding, in these events nations may only allocate one "competitor". This entry represents the nation's team so will just be named after that nation(unless you want to give a team name I guess)

Scoring
The exact system used for scoring is secret. However, nations should note that having a high heath stat will give them a small advantage in the games, nations can also gain an advantage by shrewd allocation of their athletes.
Nations can also take advantage of various bonuses, which are added to their athletes scores. Nations can earn team-wide bonuses by publishing team logos, uniform designs and anthems. Additionally nations that publish short biographies of competitors can earn a bonus for that competitor. Nations can also earn a bonus in a specific sport simply by noting that this sport is their nation's speciality when submitting their roster. Please be sure to submit all material by the sign-up deadline if you wish it to count towards your score.

Additionally when choosing competitors for your roster note that athletes and teams which earned medals in the previous winter games will automatically receive a bonus if they return to compete in the same event.

I was wondering when you would announce it. For everyone who wants to enter you have until the 1st of February to enter. It’s a brilliant event to take part in.

Say hello tour our newest and third colony, Imperton!

My favorite memory from 2018 is playing Sonic The Hedgehog with family members while listening to Primus. Claypool can make an electric sound acoustic!

Lomahl wrote:I'm unfortunately unable to climb trees

How come? Is it a physical or psychological thing?

There was a great climbing tree in the park in the village where we used to live. It was almost like climbing a ladder. Each branch was perfectly spaced apart, each gap about the height of your knee.

We'd all gone up, and then back down. Then someone else climbed up. He wasn't a little kid, and he climbed it no problem. But when his mum realised he was up there, she went spare. She must have been scared he would fall (he was at the height of a two-storey house, and still going), and was shouting at him to come down. But he just ignored her, and kept going. Her shrill voice got higher and higher, just as he climbed higher and higher.

Physically. The trees are not climbable and I have thin skin.

So I guess Valentine's Day and Easter are coming soon. Valentine's day is a strange one... we almost always never celebrate it. I guess I could buy chocolates with nice packaging on them (I looooooooooooove packaging on things, on Christmas I wasn't mentally prepared to open up the presents) But with Easter we cook a nice meal together.

Valentine's Day and Easter are just these two holidays where it's nothing major with my family. We never celebrate holidays religiously either.

Now that I don't gag when I drink alcohol or get appalled about the history of the holiday anymore, St Patrick's day looks pretty good.
