[The Protectorate of Jimiopolis](http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=jimiopolis) has been formed, and has applied to join The UN, but is unsure how to move to The Sea of Cecil. Awaiting instructions on how I can help defeat the scurvy dogs of Farktopia! ---

Never mind. The Protectorate of Jimiopolis has moved to The Sea of Cecil and pledges full support. ---

Okay, I just asked The Most Serene Republic of Ponguru how I might join their region… ---

I received this telegram. What should I do? "Greetings, the ruler of the great Jimiopolis! I, the leader of Lareland, speak on behalf of Holy Alliance. Holy Alliance is a region that aims towards total world domination. Our feared region actually attacks other regions. Holy Alliance is a new group, but we have grown fast and are strong already. We invite you to join us. By doing so, you will be able to rule the world side by side with us! If you join us, you can either stay in defence or participate in attack. Everyone is needed. I hope you give serious thought to my proposal. Sincerely, Lare The Supreme Being of Lareland Holy Alliance " ---

The last telegram was 9 hours ago. THIS telegram was 9 minutes ago. Again, should I flame? Shut up? "Greetings and salutations – Are you a lost soul in search of a place to call home? Would you like to participate in the jumpstarting of a new region? If so, Empire of The Great Hobo invites you to come check out our lands. It is my hope that this region will grow strong and eventually become one of the greats in Nation States. As the founder of this region, I will consider everybody’s opinion when it comes to matters of national security, regional advancements and UN resolutions pending. The invitation is open. I hope to see you here. Thank you. Sinole, founder and Deligate Empire of The Great Hobo" ---

I sent this telegram to both… To the leader of xxx, and The Empire of xxx Why would the Exalted Leader of Jimiopolis abandon the region into which I was born? A pox on your generations for thinking I would forsake The Mighty Sea of Cecil! We will destroy your regions, IF we have time, and deem it necessary! Good Day! Jimi ---

Holy Alliance: They’re griefers. Other group: That’s just spam to get you to join your region. They probably saw you move/apply to join the UN and wanted you to come. A good response, Jimiopolis. Also, I think Friday night/Saturday morning is a good time for an invasion. Can everyone make it? The game begins to update UN endorsements at around 3:30am eastern. ---

Oh yeah, griefer definition. They choose regions basically at random, invade, kick out a bunch of people, put the region on lockdown (password-protect it) and let it die. A lot of times they’ll kick out everyone and refound it so they can “own” the region. Griefers play just to really piss other people and usually break a bunch of rules just to get there. Like having multiple UN nations. In fact, many Holy Alliance members were deleted because they were all UN nations owned by one person. ---

Wow! That’s cool! I thought I pulled a major FU! Especially when I saw Holy Aliance had, like, 33 members. (The other group, I realized, with only 5 members, were really no big thing!) The thing that I don’t understand… what is our main “forum?” Our M.O.? Telegrams? Jennifer’s message board? (Which forum) [Fark.com](http://Fark.com) board? ---

Fantastic. Is Omnia a message board region? If so, I say they’re a good target because it’s good to colonize the regions of other, lesser message boards.
