Not as far as I'm aware. I think Uan aa Boa is supposed to be in charge of Forest's RPing but, well...
Maybe you could start your own.

I remember that during the summer Rivienland hosted an RP, but it was not Forest only, nor was it geopolitical, being more NationStates RP Forum as opposed to International Incidents.
I’d love to help/host/participate in one if you’d all like

I'm cr*p at RPing - but I know you've been interested in reviving that part of Forest life for some time, so I wish you the best of luck with it!

Perhaps we could do a light-RP or even non-personal RP (think International Incidents), perhaps focused on some sort of Environmental Alliance or something, since Forest *is* supposed to be the Environmentalist region.
I’d love to host it, if that’s ok with you, probably in Cothon City, though of course we’d offer day trips for the foreign dignitaries to visit cities such as Scania, MBC, Minerva, Sacrovilla, Likon, and Domicile, and we’d showcase our many renewable energy projects, our eco-friendly network of high-speed trains and light-rail projects, our environmentalist farms and kibbutzim, our college student’s eco-friendly thesis projects, and even our Green MAGLEV train between Nava and Minerva.
However, first I’d want to gauge interest.
Please only like this if you think you may participate!

This is true, yeah. I checked after you quoted me and saw that this is true. She has very few badges but is very hyperspecialized.
He's cte, tho, and hasn't been Forest for months now.
I’m Catholic too, I just think Christmas at this point is hardly uniquely Christian. There’s sort of a large salad bowl of winter celebrations roughly under the name “Christmas” or “the holidays”. Obviously Christians still celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ. I make sure to go to Midnight Mass :P

And that would also be in the tradition of 2020: trying to extract silver linings or ultimate good out of concretely terrible situations that all happen at once, everywhere. In all seriousness, though: it would now be for the best for the Democrats if turnout on election day itself were greatly, greatly depressed, in a twisted sort of way. Since a disproportionate number of mail-in and early voting is by Democrats (and therefore ostensibly for Democratic candidates up and down the ballots), the best thing would be if that segment were the largest proportion of the overall casted votes, i.e. if voting were to be much, much lower than expected on Election Day itself. In the most innocuous and least damaging of scenarios, a nice snowstorm across the Ohio and Pennsylvania, say, along with lingering effects and lake effect snow in Michigan would probably be marvelous for bringing down the number of people willing to go out and vote.
Texas would, of course, be a marvelous addition to the blue roster, from the Democrats' point of view. I have my doubts, but if it does, that will move things into a landslide direction, by modern standards. There are a number of states that, individually, don't have to be won by Biden in order for him to win, but that each almost must be won by Trump in order for him to win. If the polls are correct, the Electoral College is no where near favorable enough to save him this time around. At this point, it looks like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin will revert back to voting Democrat, which alone would turn the presidential race. Yet, it also looks like Biden has some degree of a chance with North Carolina, Ohio, Iowa, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, any and all of which would be padding on a larger victory, assuming the three "Midwest" states revert. And if one of them does not, then there appear to be chances to make that up with the secondary group, perhaps.
Thank you for describing that big post as optimistic. I was aiming for neutral realism, so if that sounded optimistic to you, that's a good thing.
:-)
And yes, it can always get worse. That's why I have been preparing in the event that it all goes wrong, and that we have Trump again, McConnell again, a 6-3 Kingdom of God SCOTUS, and another decade of state-level GOP control and gerrymandered majorities. And that's just the intragovernmental state of things. Add social problems, the ongoing pandemic, the increasingly obvious and more extreme climate change, etc. etc., and things are just...swell.

Did anyone notice the election in Bolivia?
Mount Seymour, Atsvea, Ruinenlust, Lord Dominator, and 4 othersTurbeaux, Outer Bele Levy Epies, Middle Barael, and Nation of ecologists
Yup! MAS win again
Atsvea, Ruinenlust, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and 4 othersOuter Bele Levy Epies, Cat-herders united, Middle Barael, and Nation of ecologists
Indeed. I am glad to see Bolivia was able to successfully execute the democratic process after a period of such turmoil, military involvement, and uncertainty. From the numbers and stories I've seen so far, it seems like it was a legitimate (and very clear) result, and that all involved are accepting it appropriately.
Chile also rocking it in the political news from South America, with a massively successful vote for a new constitution to be written to replace the old Pinochet one, and for it to be done by a body made up entirely of specifically elected representatives.
I wish both of them the best - this is a bit of good political news for sure, and I hope the US will be following it with our own next week.

Yeah, and did you guys hear about the New Zealand elections?
Labour won with the greatest landslide since 1951 (and the electoral system was completely different back then)
Jacinda Ardern is back, yay!!!
Atsvea, Ruinenlust, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and 5 othersOuter Bele Levy Epies, Terrabod, Cat-herders united, McClandia Doge 2, and Nation of ecologists
Honestly, I'm not that excited. What I would have preferred is that the Labour Party did not win a majority of the seats and was forced to form a coalition with the Green Party, because NZ First lost all of their seats, so that wasn't gonna work this time around. Now, they can go run amok and who nows what they're gonna do?
Atsvea, Ruinenlust, Lord Dominator, Turbeaux, and 2 othersOuter Bele Levy Epies, and Cat-herders united
Labour is great, so I’m now afraid about them running amok
I do though agree with you that I hope that they still form an alliance with the Greens, and maybe Maori too
But ultimately I feel this is a great win for New Zealand, the environment, and social democracy worldwide!

Sorry I keep on forgetting to do riddle of da week. I keep getting wrapped up in school work. But here is this weeks riddle.

I'm doing some digging through my university library resources looking for secondary sources, and I somehow managed to find a peer reviewed article about how mother nature is a man. I guess someone was under the impression that "mother nature" was something more than a common phrase, and was so against that premise that they wrote an entire properly-cited academic article about how that's incorrect. And then a whole panel of supposed experts on the subject read said article and decided it had a point. Then, it somehow found it's way into my university's database, and popped up while I was searching for articles on 15th century religious influence on fiction. Academia is weird.

I've got back into Battletech/Mechwarrior, via Steam, after a couple decades off. Forest is my favorite terrain, what with the cover and evasion bonus. Plus, who doesn't like absurd robot tanks?

4 hours ago: Areulder ceased to exist.
30 minutes earlier, one of my puppets found the last Areulder card that was found before the CTEing.

While there are numerous valid criticisms and analyses that can be performed under the auspices of gender theory, it does also sometimes seem to be a field that draws some... eccentric perspectives, shall we say.
When I was in grad school, we read a number of articles for a particular class related to the influence of identity and gender in our field. Most were quite solid, but one author in particular launched into a multi-page rant about how something represented the male ego in cogito ego sum, and how that ego was the source of all the problems we faced.
For those who don't know, the correct word is ergo - it's cogito ergo sum. The whole class rolled their eyes at that one.
