Athara magarat

My excuse for why my military or intelligence dispatches have huge-a$$ symbols.

Here's a chart of what the heck is happening in AM at the moment. And this is just the beginning with the main players...

Anyone still offering to have SHOCK destroy Ghale Gaun Soda Factory plants in their country?

The more the better?

Why are terrorists attacking a soda company?

Not exactly a soda factory. But still, yeah, it's because it owned by the Ghale and the Maranyeli clans.

This incident happened where a Chathaese man was killed. The Ghales and the Maranyelis represent what the separatists have been saying - "a few rich clans from Tamuwan, Sinja, Mahakirat and Liba Hangate holding power over the rest of the federation and doing whatever they wish". The situation has become more and more dangerous with more violence on all sides.

OOC, because I need SHOCK to do things that will provide AM gov some chance to say that it is a real terrorist group and not some "freedom fighters".

Technical question: how do you add pictures of people to e.g. the TWItter accounts in a legal way ?

(As some of you may have noticed, I never add pictures of people to Nhoor's news bulletins; this is because I had to pay a couple of hundreds of euros a few years ago for having used pictures on one of my websites that I thought were copyright free but it turned out they weren't (but very difficult to detect as such).)

I'm familiar with that one. The disadvantage of that is that you only have one picture of that fake person; I used to link my fictional people to the same real person so that I could vary the pictures with every news article. (And in case of the Nhoor PM, it'll take some clicking before finding a suitable 60 year old woman of somewhat Central Asian characteristics :) )

I remember her well. I know I am making it extremely difficult for myself, but I also try to avoid politicians :)
I may have found somebody but the picture is not suitable. In the early and naive days I would just download and crop it.

Also: an off topic fun fact about the names of Central Asian countries in Dutch:
- Kazakhstan = Kazachstan
- Uzbekistan = Oezbekistan
- Turkmenistan = Turkmenistan
- Tajikistan = Tadzjikistan
- Kyrgyzstan = Kirgizië

We have a similar thing in Finnish, Kyrgyzstan is still "Kirgiisia"

True, it's limited but one of the best ways currently to create people for your nation.

Nothing quite as flattering as posting a picture of yourself to facebook and then having some complete and utter stranger across the world use that same picture of you to represent their imaginary leader in their imaginary text based nation on a web forum that looks like it hasn't changed since 2004

Hey...hey...hey now...if anyone wants to use my picture, feel free.

It's that time of the week again :

Every month, the office selects a dispatch posted within the month that it has deemed exceptionally unique, creative and informative and deserves the recognition it needs. The dispatch is then featured here, as part of our Dispatch of the Month program. As long as the original author of the dispatch is in this region and exists on our Regional Map, the dispatch meets our requirements for the program.

Is there a dispatch you know that you feel is worthy of the award? If so, please do not hesitate to inform our Officer of Recognition - the official organizer of the program - of it. The office very much appreciates such nominations, as we are unable to keep track of every dispatch within the region.

About the Dispatch of the Month

The Dispatch of the Month is a program launched and run by the Office of Information. As stated before, the program involves the office featuring a dispatch it likes and feels the need to commend. The program was done in order to stimulate regional activity, encourage creativity, improve writing skills, and boost the overall nationbuilding quality.

The following requirements need to be met in order for a dispatch to be eligible for nomination:

  • Author must be in the region and regional map

  • Dispatch will have to be posted within the month

We determine the Dispatch of the Month results through a number of criteria. Each are worth 10 points, and the highest total score you can achieve is 40. The criteria are:

  • Uniqueness: What makes it different from other dispatches and nominees.

  • Creativity: How original and creative the dispatch itself is.

  • Visual Appealingness: How appealing the dispatch is.

  • Information: How informative the dispatch is.

    You can also nominate any dispatch (yes, even yours) so long that it meets our guidelines. This greatly helps us reach a larger number of dispatches and possible nominees. However, only the dispatch with the highest total points based off our criteria will claim the title of Dispatch of the Month.

If I had been jobless I could have established some words per dispatch per country graphs or something like that for the monthly reports; you would clearly have been the winner this week.

I am so glad that I am employed!

When in doubt, search sites that use Creative Commons/Public domain images. Wikimedia commons will cover a fair bit, and search.creativecommons.org will cast a wider net if needed.

Finding multiple different images of the same person, if not a public figure, might be difficult though.
