You did? So who can make an invasion this weekend? Those who can, please post. And say what night(s) of the weekend you can do it, too. And also what time; if you can stay up till 3edt then say that but if you want to go to bed around midnight then say that too so we can coordinate things. ---

I can make it anytime this weekened pretty much. If not enough people can make tonight, then let’s go for a saturday-sunday night (tomorrow night). If you can move in early, then that’s okay and tell us. ---

Alright. Since this looks like the group we have, let’s hit a region tonight. The target: Hawaii. Theme idea: Pirates maybe? ---

The Federation of United Saxon States has just joined the union. Now, I have no earthly idea what this whole “invasion” thing is. Color me confused. ---

Sorry sorry sorry I’m late. At least got here half an hour earlier than I meant to: 3am _Central_ time, and not 3am Eastern when the UN status updates are. Yes. Mammothistan is me. Who wants to be delegate? I could do it, since I have some experience with invasions. If there’s someone who can be up around 3 every night then they’d be a better choice though. Also I think those of us that are awake should endorse each other just incase. ---

As a candidate for Great Leader, I propose to watch closely every night until about midnight or so and password the region every night and unpassword it every morning. I promise to give the password out here to those who ask for it, and also to not forget it. Should I forget the password to get into the region, then I promise I’ll make a new one and give you it. On some nights, probably Wed-Thurs night sounds good, I’ll probably even get up to watch the region closely personally. ---

Jumangku can handle the 0200 to 0600 CDT watch every night, as I work from 1600 to 0100 or so every day this week. However, I have NO experience with invasions. and who’s Remonte? They just showed up… ---

And if we still need a theme, how about “obnoxious tourists that won’t go away?” 😉 ---

I like the theme, but how long can we carry it out? Should we try to include Cecil, like how last time he was the great Pirate King? Maybe we could be pirates again, but I don’t want to do it if you don’t want to do it because even though it’s fun it requires energy. We could be WW2-era imperial Japanese who finally occupied Hawaii from the blue-eyed devils. Or the French. There have been some _funnnyyy_ occupations of American regions like United States by roving bands of Frenchmen. In the region “America”, after they left they gave the region over to Indians. Since you and I look to be the only ones up, I guess that means we get to decide on the theme. Whatever we come up with. On the UN page, under that happenings section, a region recently had its delegate change. So if I didn’t arrive after the update hit Hawaii, then we shouldn’t be too far off I hope. The last regions to be updated get theirs about 5am Eastern. ---

I believe both Tyber and Great Bight have two endorsements right now. What happens in that case? Should I revoke my endorsement of Tyber to ensure Great Bight becomes delegate? ---

I’d rather not do the Japanese occupation thing, as I really **was** born in Wailuku, and find it a bit tasteless. Perhaps Cecil was author of “Visiting Hawaii for a Dollar a Day”? ---
