Populist
Van Ghent and our king have called me a populist and you yourself have called my speeches pompous and bombastic, but now my latest one is filled with actual concrete goals of what I, as governor-to-be of Sylvania, would like to achieve. BastardRoyale 12:33, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * No-one asked you to take on a style that isn't yours, but most of us will appreciate your efforts to write a lighter piece. 15:23, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I know, but I work hard on these speeches so obviously it kinda blows if some short speech filled with spelling errors and mistakes gets all the attention just because they take daring viewpoints and promise to build railroads and highways and all those other massive, ambitious projects they can never realise because of our now limited powers as a governor. They are all empty promises and empty words, they lack the power to realise these plans. I try to operate within the law, within the possibilities, and my best speech so far almost gets ignored entirely. Perhaps you could comment on it when you return from Luxemburg? Damn, the thought of actually having to beg for a comment... BastardRoyale 13:11, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the link to your speech? --O u WTBsjrief-mich 17:43, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * OuWTB, its my last speech in the Speakers Corner, titled: "My dreams and goals with Sylvania". BastardRoyale 10:06, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you could give a comment at the speech, Yuri? I asked you before your trip to Luxembourg and now you are back so.. BastardRoyale 13:14, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I did read it. In my opinion it is better than your previous speeches which where rather pompous. At least now we have an idea of what kind of governor you'd be.  13:41, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Could you also comment on it in the Speakers Corner (that was my initial question, actually). I need some open support for my Sylvania campaign, I also support you and Alyssa in Kings, of course, but you are the major favourite and nobody really counts on Abrahams to win, not that he isn’t good, you are just a golden duo, that’s all. About as hard to win from as the King and Van Ghent. Is the entire party behind me, or are they not? My speeches, sadly enough, to not get as much attention as, lets say, the very short and badly written speeches by some of the other candidates. No offense, BastardRoyale 14:19, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I support you and as far as I know about other members do too. A golden rule in marketing: don't make the message too long because people like it short. 14:51, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Like you ever had marketing JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  14:59, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, but I do know how to construct an image that sells. Marketing is pretty simple, just convince the audience that you have a solution that doesn't exist for a problem they don't have.  15:07, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wrong my friend, that's everything but marketing! JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  18:10, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Have you lost your sense of humor, Jon? I was mocking marketing by magnifying certain clichés. 06:04, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

CPL.nm
Okay, I made my decision, I join the CPL.nm. We now need to rewrite the nLS article and add my name to CPL.nm stuff. SjorskingmaWikistad 15:51, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm leaving on a four day hiking trip tomorrow so either you do it now or I will do it when I'm back. 15:53, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll d a few things, but I think not everything. Where are you going to hike? SjorskingmaWikistad 15:56, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Luxembourg (disappointed it isn't Peru? I sure am!). I already added your name to the list of party members and will rewrite some section after my return. 15:58, September 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * never been there! sounds like a fine walden kinda place! 08:00, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe forest and agriculture are two of the most present things in the region.  08:03, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * bingo! 08:10, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * It really felt like being "into the wild", sometimes, didn't it?  11:42, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Especially that time when we had to call upon society in order to 'get things done with'.  12:17, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well well, some of us did use modern technology (ahem) to prevent us from starvation and sudden death, whereas others did it old-school: climbing, swimming, diving and running  12:48, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would of chosen the second of course :p. I'm a swimmer climber and all JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  12:49, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Using society as a tool to overcome obstacles is in my opinion preferable over dangerous escapades. Think of it as a dish: it is not because you prepared it wrong that there isn't a better way to cook it. 12:53, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * It seemed more like Dimi was the movable person and you were the immobile person  JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  12:54, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I admire Dimi's persistence but it remains stupid to risk slipping away from up high. I love nature but I equally cherish culture (society) even though the later tends to be crappy a lot of the time. 12:57, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Me:I love not man the less, but Nature more JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  14:06, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Which explains the undertone of cultural pessimism and 'return to nature' which are often present in your discourse. Romanticism is just around the corner.  14:32, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's byron, but I completely agree with it. It's not pessimism on society, it's optimism on nature JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  15:15, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * The standard academic term is cultural pessimism, but it isn't meant to sound as a value judgement. I made a trial chart of where we differ, Jon. What do you think? 05:51, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That you have to much time JON   THE DUDE   JOHNSON  09:18, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * So true.  09:37, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Bennett Corporation
Why did you delete this, I wasen't of the Wiki latley, I've come back to work on it, I hadent worked on the the companies effect in Lovia.. if your going to delete somthing, please contact the person first.-Perryz101 20:30, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was marked for deletion. Site policy goes as follows: if something is marked for deletion you can discuss if it will be deleted or not. No discussion followed so I deleted it. If you wish to see it restored you should contact the person who marked it for deletion. 06:45, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

Site council fixed membership
You are now one of the three fixed members of the seven-member Wikination:Site council. Please check the page regularly and discuss all ongoing topics. There is already one topic and vote going on. 08:47, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Vote
I am very sorry, Yuri, I cannot vote for you or Alyssa in Kings. I have no residence in Kings, only in Oceana, Sylvania and Seven. If you own a residence in Sylvania I am hoping for your support and your vote, for obvious reasons. As for Oceana: I noticed no CPL.nm'ers are running there, which would be the best candidate to vote for, if I were to vote strategical? BastardRoyale 09:27, October 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I seem to have messed up the page by voting. Others had similar problems when casting their votes. Could you fix this issue please? BastardRoyale 09:30, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I or someone else shall fix it. In the future we should make it easier by typing or something. In Oceana I would vote for a progressive candidate, so that is either Walden or the Liberal Union. 13:58, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Walden! Walden! Walden! Marcus Villanova 23:45, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Chicken nuggets 20
You8 rembered that once you said something about chicken nuggets 20 (from MDonalds)? The netherlands does have that on the menu Pierlot McCrooke 14:03, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, so you've been to McDonalds, Pierlot? On a date, perhaps? Good for you boy! Dr. Magnus 14:14, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to the McDo's in Gent and demand that they serve portions like that too. Not because I'd like to have a collection of 20 pieces for I couldn't possibly devour such quantities. It is just that I feel Beglium must have the same rights as any other nation; the right to get fat without having to order four or five portions. One of these days it's going to be me against Ronald (that red-haired clown) before the European Court. You just wait... 14:50, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * World equality! Fat people of all countries, unite! SjorskingmaWikistad 15:41, October 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * So I guess you remember my fat-boy sezuire story...lol. Marcus Villanova 16:03, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Global Mag
Wanna Write? You could be a possible reporter for our Europe Section. You'd only need to write a article once a month. Thnx anyway! Marcus Villanova 16:49, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, once a month is a very attainable goal. You might have to remind me in time but I'll certainly write. 07:24, October 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thnx! That will be awesome! Marcus Villanova 22:28, October 12, 2010 (UTC)

Your vote
could walden count on your vote in Oceana? it looks like harold is not gonna make it, and I believe you'd rather have a progressive waldener as Governor than a theocratic conservative! ;) 12:34, October 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes we need all the votes we can get, also if you want you can write your monthly Global Magazine article! Marcus Villanova 15:57, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

Yuri, your vote in Oceana would be well spent on Ilava. He may conservative but he is a veteran to the site without whom Oceana as we know it would have never excisted. He worked terribly hard for his state and has waited too long to be defeated by a relative newcomer who barely campaigned for governorship, is not quite as active and does not have any expierence with the state. Dr. Magnus 16:17, October 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah. no. I would vote for Llava if it wasn't for the Nationalism thing, becuse it might start another civil war.Marcus Villanova 16:20, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Of course Harold would make a fine deputy, no matter what. He is an honest and sincere politician, but no the man for the job. Dr. Magnus 16:22, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * True but he is even way more inactive.Andy will do alot and listen to Oos. Marcus Villanova 16:23, October 16, 2010 (UTC)

If your governorship is illegally taken away from you and you wait for two entire years to get it back, do you then deserve to lose it to a user who, with all due respect, has zero expierence with the state and has never worked for the state the way you did? Ilava knows the state, knows the people, knows their religious beliefs and their traditions and customs. He will respect it. He is a nationist, yes, but not a seperatist. He is just proud of what he has build over the years, and there is nothing wrong with that. Dr. Magnus 16:27, October 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Again True, but with all the National movement it turns a lot of voters away sorry you killed your own candidate with that one not us. Marcus Villanova 16:29, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Oos is NOT a member of the Nationalist Party. 2) See the numbers in LQ, if you're interested. Maybe it does mean something. 3) Nationalists won't start a war. 2) See what kind of Oceana nationalism it is ;), or read Alzbeta Lenka. Bucu 16:54, October 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * I will consider it. 08:31, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Consider what? Keeping yours on Harold, or changing it to Oos or Andy? I'd keep yours how it is, or vote Oos. You don't have to switch votes in a McCrooke type of way. Dr. Magnus 08:37, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * It = "it all", I suppose  08:39, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't like conservatives, so not 'it all'.  08:40, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Report
Arthur's starting up the file on his computer. He told me he'd send us the current version every so many days, so we're up-to-date. If you have any info, send it to his address (you know: ae_monticello@...). 09:10, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll simply respond to his mails if I have any remarks. 09:11, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okidoki. 09:17, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Handje Klopre
Yuri, bigga shut! Bucu é folsky Oshenna pagardo i flute!!! JON  THE DUDE   JOHNSON  13:31, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. Very disturbing indeed... 15:02, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a dialect I should learn too ;). And yes, it's disturbing. I regret having said 'yes' to OWTB on retaining the concept of states. 15:25, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I call it 'tik-tik'. Jon is a quick learner.  15:29, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol. Tic tic as in that movie we saw yesterday, with the drugs and the tic tic down the toilet drain? :p 15:33, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Creto.  15:37, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ché/Qué? 15:44, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yuri nio dvee pralare vlceoe <font color=Navy>JON   THE DUDE   <font color=Navy>JOHNSON  16:35, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Tzawwel :) 17:36, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hia udtio, nio dvei pralare vlceoe? Rgzzaai? Bucu 08:04, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha, Bucu already figured out. Never mind, it was just a joke anyway. 05:35, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know
What is my best option in oceana? Olaf Engelund 09:29, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yuri voted for a certain candidate, so guess what he's gonna say? :P However, I would recommend you to have a look at the other candidate too. Bucu 09:46, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's difficult: this is the situation, what do you prefer? A hard working person, who build his own state, or a progressive, who might change it (probably in a better situation) <font color=Navy>JON   THE DUDE   <font color=Navy>JOHNSON  09:53, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * i think andy is a good choice, i've seen his movie :p Olaf Engelund 10:03, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not a reason, but i like your choice <font color=Navy>JON   THE DUDE   <font color=Navy>JOHNSON  10:04, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * silly reason indeed . your reason for voting for me should be: with McCandless, Oceana guarantees a bright and green future. full of nice little ideas to make the state just a bit shinier. with respect for Oceana's two beauties: nature and heritage! 10:45, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Joint publication
I don't know how it's going but I still think it would be a great opportunity to start a new debate in Lovia about the importance of religion in life. The publication based on our debates will of course feature both my pro's and your con's. So we let the reader draw his or her own conclusion. Dr. Magnus 09:55, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, but this afternoon I have no time. You can already start on wait for me to do so.  09:59, October 19, 2010 (UTC)

I'll wait for you, I know and appreciate your skill when it comes to things like this. Dr. Magnus 10:00, October 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * A post election debate? Wierd! Marcus Villanova 22:14, October 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's more like a review of our past discussions. I noticed we had quite a few and of a very decent quality so it would be nice to have a summary. 05:41, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice. I like the idea, why should issues only be dissucssed when elections are coming! Marcus Villanova 20:27, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * These are debates about the philosophy of religion, not politics, --Semyon 10:14, October 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Religious people tend to claim ethical supremacy so society and politics are never far away.  16:04, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanx for the message. I'll be sureto contact you if i have any questions. Andrea 03:11, October 28, 2010 (UTC)

Oh My Non-God
It's just that you are both funny and intellectually superior to the rest of us. All I've read is Genesis, other portions of the Bible, and some phrases from the terribly funny Book of Mormon. Anyway :)

Study well my friend! Are you still paying as much attention as you did at the beginning of the semester? Greetings, 12:10, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't you read the Koran too? You have one, right? I found it rather boring. Never read something out of the Book of Mormon but I know it's history (which is sufficient for burning that religion down). As for the attention stuff: some classes get too boring too often. But that doesn't mean we don't have to work for those courses.  14:22, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, the Quran, indeed . It's rather poetic, I thought: lots of sweet crap and here and there conservative statements that ask you to kill non-believers and so. 14:46, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have that in Belgium where reilgous people come to your door talking about the "great word of god?". The funniest time that happened to me was when a Mormon (I live in NY so somhow the migrated out east) He kept ringing my doorbell for 20 minutes after I got annoyed I answered and was given a free Bible and Book of Mormon. LOL the funniest shit ever. There's somthing about magical trees and that USA is where God will return...lol! Marcus Villanova 15:30, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * There are no door-to-door Mormons in Belgium, but we do have Jehovah's Witnesses! Recently, they came by and asked for me specificly, because I was kind to them the previous time . My mum sent them off, though. 15:46, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * The witnesses are even funnier!!! They gave hundreds of "THE WORLD WILL END 2012!" shit and they drew God as a golden head with a body and he was standing on the world. Marcus Villanova 15:57, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, indeed . I (btw) also received a free Book of Mormon copy when I was in the States in 2009. 16:00, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Jehova people are fun to toy with. I'd love to invite one in but my mom wont let me. Too bad because they are só funny when making up silly excuses to defend their beliefs. 16:01, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would actually want to see what would happen if you said "yes please tell me about God!" Instead of shuting the door on them=]!!Marcus Villanova 16:05, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you listen to them and at first don't aggressively argue with them, you can play with them for quite some time. I even have one assigned especially to me when they come visit our street. 16:11, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, like I said, I was friendly and interested one time, and some months later they came to my door and asked my mother whether they could see me xD. 16:12, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I haven't seen them in a while. Last time they left me a little booklet with some pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo. They also warned me that 'they teach [...] wrong things at school'.  08:16, November 7, 2010 (UTC)

Resignation
Mr Medvedev, Prime Minister,

I hereby formally resign as Lovia's Secretary of Finance. I have found myself unfit to hold the responsibilities that come with the function as Federal Secretary. Due to personal reasons, as well as incompetence when it comes to managing tax legislation, I will leave the Department. I am sorry for not having been able to take up my duties as I was supposed to do so. For the remainder of the Congressial term, I will re-think my political strategies.

Sincerely,

Percival E. Galahad 08:36, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No need to feel guilty, I think most of us find themselves in exactly the same situation. I myself could use some reconsideration too. 11:23, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * At least your back!Marcus Villanova 21:16, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Which law book?
The Sports and National Team Act has been accepted by Congress and I would like to enshrine it righdaway in our law. But in what book of law should it be? I am currently placing it with the Social Law Book (since it regulates the conditions under which minors may perform competitive sports, etc.). Please correct my mistake if I turn out to be a bad choice-maker here. -- 16:28, November 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Horay It was added to a book!Marcus Villanova Music is Life 16:29, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Frum
I took the courtesy of inviting Jonathan Frum to be interviewed on Oceana Late, hope you don't mind? Dr. Magnus 10:50, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not at all. He might be a little grumpy 'cause he doesn't like television, but I promise he wont attack the interviewer or camera operator.  11:05, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

I like grumpy people, they're the best. The public doesn't want any more celebs with that broad, creepy salesman smile with teeth so white it'll hurt your eyes, they want real people! Dr. Magnus 11:08, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

Interview for The Free Post
The Free Post, an up-and-coming liberal arts magazine, would like to ask you some questions. Can we? These are our questions: Thanks op voorhand! Hillbilly Boy 18:45, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Does a man of politics like yourself find some time for music or literature? Is it hard to combine with your busy life?
 * If you were sent to the Lost island for ten years, which three LPs would you take with you?
 * Actors and other entertainers sometimes get politically active, such as George Clooney. Can you appreciate attempts from pop stars to reach out to the political world or do you remain sceptical?
 * If you had talent for music, which you might have - I don't know, what kind of music would you probably make? Could we expect you to write magnificent socialist marches, or rather socially engaged folk songs, fragile and tender?
 * Thanks in advantage* :) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 19:03, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * In advance, actually. :) --Semyon 19:40, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, I'm a little bit dyslectic in foreign languages, so I didn't saw I'd written it down wrongly :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 19:45, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

First of all I wish to say I'm very honored by this offer. It's my first official interview. Okay, here we go: There you go, I hope this is useful material. I wish you the best of luck with the first issue! 10:15, November 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I consider politics and arts to be complementary; arts can play an important role in educating ourselves about the human nature. In the past I used to have more time to practice arts myself and I sometimes regret I can't do that anymore, being occupied with my political duties. Nonetheless, I'm still active in the Capitol Museum Group and the Malipa Cinema Festival.
 * That's a hard one, I'm so used to the flexibility of MP3 that I can't imagine anymore what it's like to have an album pre-composed for you! Most likely I'd pick two compilation albums of R.E.M., The Best Of R.E.M. and In Time. I never get bored listening to their songs. Of course I'd also take my favorite piece of classical music, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.
 * That question can be easily solved by posing another question: is their message genuine or is it part of a marketing strategy? I wont oppose to generous gifts of celebrities, but I often doubt their honesty. Also, I'm skeptical about charity in general: fighting the symptoms is only half the work.
 * Haha, I admit I like listening the International occasionally but pompous soviet-like arts aren't really my cup of tea. If I could, I'd make songs in the style of Tracy Chapman or Neil Young: engaged, emotional and personal songs. Unfortunately I can't, but I did recently discover I have a musical talent. In the near future I will reveal more about that...
 * A couple of days ago, something funny occurred to me. You know, you and I once went to the city library in Ghent, and I asked you to choose a number of CDs for me. Remember? Well, as a matter of fact, you then wrote "Shostakovich" on my paper. I hadn't heard of the guy. The paper got lost and I forgot about it. Now, I retrieved it and I read the name. Funny enough, I had just ripped an entire double album to iTunes of this fellow, and was actually listening to the "song" you suggested me: his second Waltz! 08:44, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is funny and also in a way a bit scary. His songs are rather 'light' compared to other classical composers but I really like them. 08:48, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * There are only a few I like. His waltz as part of the Jazz Suite 1 is nice too. I was sort of glad though, that I was capable of liking Russian composers. I didn't know that. Still, my favorites are mostly situated in the 19th century. 08:52, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Beethoven remains my all time favorite, especially his 5th and 9th Symphonies. Their sound makes me think of mathematics, physics, chemistry, ... beautiful wholes perfected through their coherence. 08:56, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * The Fifth is truly amazing. What about the Mondschein? Not a grandiose symphony; more a sincere sonata. 08:58, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sonata's are nice but I do prefer symphonies. Just imagine how you can think out a piece for so many instruments just in your head! They seem both natural and constructed, the closest thing I know being the Mandelbrot set. 09:09, November 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the interview. The publication of TFP is lagging behind, but your interview won't go lost! Thanks again. Hillbilly Boy 16:41, December 2, 2010 (UTC)

Speech
check it out. My ideas are promising Pierlot McCrooke 16:03, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, Yuri, are you endorsing McCrooke as a serious PM candidate for the CPL.nm? He has been busy campaigning for two days in a row now and made his candidacy official in the pub today. Pierius Magnus 10:35, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not endorsing anyone for the moment. The PM should be a figure that depends on a broad consensus and I'm not sure if he fits that profile. He has been in a lot of parties but if that is enough to represent a common goal is still unclear to me. 10:38, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hahaha, it would be fun if Pierlot was our "premmy". --O u WTBsjrief-mich 10:39, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol, it would be jolly good fun alright! Pierius Magnus 10:40, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Could it be that I see the broad consensus I was talking about?  10:42, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Van Ghent apparantly takes him seriously enough to ask for some more of his viewpoints, and Hannis takes him seriously enough to write a long article about him in LQ again. Pierius Magnus 10:45, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hahaha, Pierlot wordt altijd wel het handje boven 't hoofd gehouden è :P Never blame Pierlot! :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 10:49, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I just thought it fair to not "rule out" candidates even before the elections have begun . It's a politician's overconfidence to decide who's the people's favorite or not - the people is in power, not the politicians. Martha Van Ghent 10:52, December 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * In Lovia 'the people' = 'the politicians'. A rather unique situation... 11:00, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

There will be a seocnd speech soon about religion Pierlot McCrooke 11:04, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Vote
Congress needs your vote on the latest issue in the Second Chamber. Please do your duty! 15:51, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Unprotect
Could you please unprotect the page Train Village? =) Martha Van Ghent 16:18, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem (sorry for the late answer) 16:20, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * Two minutes isn't really late Martha Van Ghent 16:21, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Vote
You still didnt vote. What is the reason? Pierlot McCrooke 10:25, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm in a difficult position: I'd like to have all of our candidates elected and become PM at the same time. I'm just holding the boat of to see how much support I can get from (A) outside our party and (2) from our currently inactive members. 10:57, January 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * The party has my support! I didn't vote for yuri, because you have already many votes, I hope all our members get elected Olaf Engelund 09:28, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Debate!
Elections can be terribly heated. What we should, above all, not forget, is that elections are about a good program and great ideas for 2011 and the future. That's why there's the 2011 Speakers' Corner Debate. All candidates can participate! Also, please add questions of your own. Good luck in the upcoming,

De Morgen
You got De Morgen delivered at home these days? Yesterday, last page: article on "Juliette Thomassen" and her role in a movie with allusions to The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne of course. Today, while I was reading a review of Mark Twain's autobiography, I noticed the word "postfordism" in the newspaper. The first time ever, I believe. A small review about some book by some guy named Devos but not Carl. 09:11, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I noticed Devos his book too. They call her 'the coming girl'. Why do I always pick people right before they break through to the big audience? It was the same with that Medvedev guy. I'm like octopus Paul.  12:18, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because you are a prophet . I feel a good idea coming up... 14:12, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hahahaha, you guys ain't keeping a tea(/cafe latte) discussion about what's written in the Belgian papers è? :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 14:54, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Devil In The Details
Keep me informed :) What's the record label of this band? --O u WTBsjrief-mich 14:53, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is an old idea I discovered on my pc. It needed some updating though. I don't have a label yet, any suggestions? 15:02, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it would be best to go to Dimi's Lovilago Music, because then you can immediately release it in Mäöres without much work :) --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:19, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * But that is such a big label. I'll think about it. 15:20, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * You could also try Orbaloft Productions :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:29, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not possible since the band was offered a contract in 2008, when Orbaloft didn't exist yet. 15:35, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * And I don't think those guys create Oceana language music :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:40, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I kept it broad enough with alternative rock/pop rock. That can be a lot of things. I'm wondering if there is a way to give these guys a sound? 15:41, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Mmm.. I don't know.. --O u WTBsjrief-mich 15:51, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I signed them at Red Horse Records. 15:52, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * That is for Counry and folk artists. Maybe make your own label? Pierlot McCrooke 15:53, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * If they don't want the band, they can always throw us out. Let's wait and see. 15:54, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, they are also active since 2010 :P --O u WTBsjrief-mich 16:06, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know, I fixed that issue by making a label switch from 'independent studio' to Red Horse. A lame solution, but a solution nonetheless.  16:08, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi! It's not really our core business, but you guys look like indie stuff, so that's good too . Welcome with Red Horse Records anyway! Do you want to realize the album in Maores or Libertas too, soon? If we release it in Maores, it ranks higher in the charts. Hillbilly Boy 17:28, January 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if it is possible. I'm not active in either Maores or Libertas so I didn't think of it. 12:37, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Mail
You've got mail, comrade! Pierius Magnus 16:06, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, from me as well, as a matter of fact  10:31, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * And guess what - he already answered me four days ago. :D Pierius Magnus 10:37, January 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I usually check my mail before I open the e-browser, so notifying me here is seldom useful. Unless I'm editing, then it will probably the fastest way to let me know.  12:48, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

State wiki
I became really interested in the wiki, i asked dimi, but it turns out he wasn't the admin there...I wondered if i could get admin rights for commie state wikia and re-activate it. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 18:22, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Funny you took an interest in it. It was a mock-up wiki of a fictional nation concept and bad-ass commies. I'll try to get on the site and see what I can do.  08:56, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thnks for whatever you can do. I'd really like to make it active again. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 19:19, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I had forgotten my password and the mail-address the account is linked to was out of use. Luckily I managed to retrieve the password in an archived file on my PC. I'll make you an admin any moment now.  10:45, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

As a matter of fact
Lovia hasn't got a White House, no 10 Downing Street, no Wetstraat 16... There is no office for the Prime Minister. Since we respect the trias politica, I would rather give you a building outside of the Capitol. Would you (as our current PM) be alright with a mansion in Downtown Noble City? If you'll allow me, I'll provide all the stuff ;) Martha Van Ghent 14:54, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is an actual need for that and I don't really need 'yet another place to be'. But if it would please you, then pray do so. It might be nice if the nation gains a symbol.  15:04, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's just weird not to have an official office :). It wouldn't have to be a residence, just an office. So, deal? Martha Van Ghent 15:11, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, why not. Though it is from a practical point of view easier to have one central office for all duties. 15:18, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

hello you are the smart communist. we have talked. Do you want to win the electios? the Pierius asked me to vote for him but i want to be free. i am wanting to vote for a smart person that is very important because government of a country is a difficult thing. he believes and that is dangerous. you dont believe except a bit in marx but that's ok. you dont believe in Stalin so that's good. i want to vote for horton because of the civil rights and for you too because you are very smart. can i do that? there is something wrong with the vote. I tried but it is red. call me Batzloff 08:42, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Try putting: #... underneath the vote for Horton. Then the red link will dissapear. And of course you could also vote for Yuri or Horton if you want, Batzloff, you are free. But as a member of a party one usually votes for people within that party. It is not "the law" but it's unusual not to. Pierius Magnus 08:45, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * As Pierius pointed out no-one can force you to vote for this or that person. I do however not really want to become Prime Minister again; three times in a row would be quite exhausting. If you vote for me than do so with your support vote. Also, my fellow party members are in dire need of some more support. Thank you for the confidence!  10:40, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * ok. i will give you the small vote because you are the smartest. Are you a teacher? call me Batzloff 10:46, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I feel very flattered but nope, I'm a student. Maybe I become a teacher one day, who will say?  10:50, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

hello since you dont want to be the leader I better vote for an other smart person. who is the second smartest? call me Batzloff 07:05, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * That'll be me :p <font color=Navy>JON   THE DUDE   <font color=Navy>JOHNSON  09:01, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think of myself as the smartest, but Jon certainly is as smart as me. 09:06, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * You forget someone: the King sure as hell is an awfully smart fellow. To bad he ain't running! Pierius Magnus 09:19, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Most - if not all - people on this wiki qualify as 'smart' when compared to the Belgian mean. Also, the King can't run in elections for that is forbidden by the Constitution. 10:23, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * But to answer Batzloff's question; who is the second smartest - you being the smartest (in his words ). I'd put my money on Hannis, though. Somehow I believe he's awfully bright. Pierius Magnus 10:35, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I dislike numbering people. Brightness is not the issue, it is trying to get the first spark burning that really matters.  12:05, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Mail!
You got mail, comrade! Urgent mail. ;) Pierius Magnus 13:01, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ik heb geloof ik net geantwoord. Iets zei me 'check je mail eens'. 13:04, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just received your reply and replied to it. You got some sort of 'sixth sense' we don't know about, Yuri? Pierius Magnus 13:07, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just figured that when a lot of people are online, they might have sent some mails too. No wizardry, just a reasonable guess. 13:14, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Updates
You said you'd check from time to time On State Wikia, Thanks that'd be awesome. But incase you forget i'll be posting updates here to let you know the progress. Just to let you know. Right now I'm working on creating the Arcadian Provincal elections up-to-date. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 21:39, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I already saw that, but I'm way to busy with my examinations right now. Lovia gets full priority. I will have more time starting February 3 though. Thanks for keeping me posted!  15:13, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Okay Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward.PCP 22:11, January 20, 2011 (UTC)

Guess what?
You got mail! Didn't see that one coming, did you? From one PM to another, I need some serious legal advice. ;) Pierius Magnus 19:08, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * And I answered.  06:48, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Dear Governor
I'm preparing an 'unofficial' census of Lovia's population, and was wondering if you could tell me the percentage of the population of your state that live in rural areas (i.e. not in cities, towns or hamlets). Thanks in advance! --Semyon 16:09, January 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't have an official number for this, but it would be rather small. I'd say between 5 and 15%. Certainly no more than 15%. Does that help? 06:26, February 1, 2011 (UTC)

Labor Act


 * In my opinion, 55 is a bit too soon to retire... Taking into consideration the traffic nowadays, I think it might make sense to agree on a 7-4 or a 9-6 shedule instead of a 8-5 working day. Have the employee suggest to the employer what hours are best for him to work. Obvisoulsy then there would be a problem with this "over hour working", maybe a time shedule should be part of the agreement between employer and employee. Aesopos 09:00, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

I I have more comments, can I add them here? Aesopos 09:00, March 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure, go ahead. Though I need to say it is not my intention to rewrite the entire bill. Every system has its downsides and we really need a decent system as soon as possible. Additions and alterations can always be made afterwards. Just my opinion though. 10:50, March 8, 2011 (UTC)



Goodbye, comrade!
The Galahad v. The Brigade Trial has today come an end. The verdict? A six months incarceration for me, being the leader of the Brigade. As a result of this, I will be forced to leave Lovia, the country I so dearly love, for ever. A decision that wasn't easy to make, but then again, I did not have much of a choice as the decision was made by others. The Donia I Government will continue to rule with me at it's head, albeit only in name. Goodbye, old comrade, and may both you and Lovia itself, fare well! Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 16:25, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Jonathan Frum
What's Frum up to these days?? Perhaps we could arrange a meeting between him and Echo Cho? Echo cho 19:33, March 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * He'd be glad to stroll around a bit with a fellow artist. What exactly did you have in mind? 06:30, March 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe a small project for them to work on? Like a new play? Just thinking out loud here... Rock_guitarist.png Echo cho 20:32, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's brainstorm about some ideas and themes separately. Afterwards we come back together and see what way to go next.  07:52, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Great idea! ;) Rock_guitarist.png Echo cho 10:19, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

YgoD
YgoD asks to be blocked. Aesopos 07:21, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wont carry out the sentence unless the judge or Donia himself ask me for it. 12:11, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * @Yuri: The Judge? There is no more Judge. He has been dismissed and removed from office. There is only a Judge-to-be right now, Aesopos. And he will be joined by more Judges, soon. @Aesopos: I did ask for that but I have now changed my mind. I cannot leave Lovia like this. Things have to be done first. Things have to change. And trust me - I will be around when these changes make it and are implemented. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 19:31, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Quick question
How would you call people from Lovia (the citizens). Addyrand
 * They are called Lovians. Anyone with more then fify edits will be added to the list of citizens. Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 18:41, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Addyrand 18:45, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * The pleasure is all mine, Addyrand. Enjoy your stay in my beautyful country! Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 18:47, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Courtesy would require the phrase 'our country' - this is not feudalism.  17:39, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Our country? Mine sounds better. Not just anyone could say that! Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 17:52, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure I can say it, but that wouldn't make it the truth.  17:58, March 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * To speak in my mother tongue: "De waarheid is een zeer rekbaar begrip". Ygo &quot;the Brigade&quot; Donia (Lovian PM) 17:59, March 25, 2011 (UTC)

State Elections
Well we were suppose to have state elections in april which seems crazy right now beacuse lovia very unactive. But an election always gets lovia re-active so maybe it might be okay. As a moderator, i'm just wondering. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward 22:50, March 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I tend to follow in your reasoning, though it seems only yesterday we had the previous one. 11:07, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

And when we message everyone for the election they'll make edits talk in the chamber and maybe get Lovia active again. Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward 11:56, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Map
Sorry to be a bother but a new user at New continent wants a map done and so do I. There close to each other as you'll see at the New Country Forum there. The user was here for a week or two he was User:-Sunkist-. The countries are suppose to be like libya, apart of the american colinization society. Anyway his country is big and mine is the small one next to it, if could just make a bit bigger. Thanks you so much in advance, (!) and I hope you come back to new continent. Thanks again!!! Marcus Villanova Music is Life.Lean Forward 22:16, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I already answered over there. I will make the map (probably later today) ánd hope to return to my work there soon. I find the map-making most fun so it will surely re-spark my appetite. 06:51, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
