My default topic titles would be meaningless here

Hello everyone!

I was taking my political science final today, and the essay question at the end asked me to describe either PR and SMDP representation systems or Parliamentary and Presidential systems, and then recommend one of the two to a newly formed imaginary democracy. It reminded me of the constant debates we'd have about reforming the government in Antica, and I got slightly nostalgic and misty eyed. After sobbing into my magical blue answer booklet, I thought I might check up on the micronational world again. Since the Antican boards currently seem as though they're going to be down until JESUS comes back, I thought I'd post in the next best thing, Shireroth.

So, again, hello! How has everyone been?

I was about to scream at you for mistyping my name, and then I felt rather foolish. I'm getting slow in my old age.

Not enough to take over, but enough to form our own duchy!

It's good to have you visiting us again, Ruth. It's been quite a while since I saw your name pop up here. Why don't you join all the others who have decided to fill our ranks again. We'd love to have you.

Do not listen to them! They are trying to corrupt you! Next thing you'll know, you'll be eating Mangos and fervently listening to the tale of B'Caw.

And, how about you, Chrimigules? You're here as often as a lot of our citizens. Why don't you join us, too? You'll like the mangoes and the spicy chicken, washed down with orange beer, really you will. Just watch the shiny watch as it swings back and forth, back and forth...you are getting sleepy; you are ready to immigrate to Shireroth...

Hey, don't tempt me, I've already been up 20 hours, 51 minutes and counting.

Never! I shall not rest until the stupid webhost that our old webhost sold us to gets the Antican forums online so that I can finally get the database backup (they seemed reluctant simply giving me the backups and preferred installing them themselves) so that I can install it in the new website, and all can be happy again.

Or, when I drop on the couch after returning home from handing in my take-home final exam.

Hope you do well on your final exam. In fact, what are you doing here when you could be finishing it?

Having an argument. That'll be 1 pound.

I object to having Antican people in Shireroth. Cans are an important asset to our great nation, and according to the list in the BOOMIST temple there is even a God of Cans. Can people who oppose such an important way to preserve food really be trusted?

Now that I think about it, I remember reading about Anticans in Microscope. All I remember is that there used to be two people named Delphi and Octavian, and then people kicked them out. And in the photo one of them was REALLY tall and the other was REALLY short.

Antican people, welcome to Shireroth! You will learn to accept our methods of food storage eventually. In the meantime, please accept my support in your crusade against people of abnormal height. Unless I'm thinking of the wrong country. In return, all I ask is that you tell me what your default topic titles are, because I'm curious.

In Antica my default topic titles generally revolved around JESUS or Jesus, institutions which have little significance to the people of Shireroth.

How would you like to call your Duchy? The Duchy of Antica (again)?

Ruth--

Don't misunderstand. We do have some committed Christians here, as well as some people of the Jewish faith, and others of unstated persuasion. We also have atheists, deists, pantheists, etc. If we were to make the forum about Jesus primarily, many people would be offended or leave. We do have discussions that involve faith, but that is not the purpose of this forum.

next best thing
!!

(sigh)

The Multi-Temple is open to all faiths. Do not fear to eat the mangos and spicy chicken, for as you know, you can sanctify it easily enough.

I have come to terms with BOO/\/\/\ism within the confines of Shireroth. More on that later, we need to shut down for server maintenance.

Ruth would start topics talking about JESUS, and then log in as Jesus to add randomness to them halfway in. And I'd usually jump in and blaspheme.

Speaking of JESUS, it's never too late to recruit!

You should all join the Juvenescent Echelon's Socialistically Unified Sodality, because:

Jesus saves, but the rest of you take 2d20 damage.

Does anything even cause damage in d20s? I've never heard of it...might as well make it 4d10, less likely they'll roll all 1s and take less damage ;)
