A Letter from The King

Dear Friends and Allies,

It gives me great pleasure to be able to write to all of you again after such a long time. After a bit of a dip in activity, Ainur is once again returning to form. Our region has almost 200 members again and we've just elected an entirely new regional government. In the coming weeks and months, I look forward to my Government reaching out and organising new cultural events to broaden our horizons. We hope to get in far closer contact with all of you very soon!

Augustus,
King of Ainur


Our New Regional Government

August saw our first general elections in slightly more than two months. The Senate election was a relatively uncomplicated affair, with Liana, Alexandros Ezkantion and L33T H4X0R being elected unopposed.

The Steward election was perhaps the strangest we've ever had, with three different stages. In the first James Narya and Ashton Mercer signed up to run but Ashton withdrew before voting could commence. James therefore went into the vote unopposed, but he himself withdrew before any votes could be cast.

Ashton alone re-entered the race when the sign ups were opened again, only to lose the vote to the "re-open applications" option because he hadn't posted a manifesto.

In the third round of sign ups both James and Ashton decided to run again, and this time both thankfully posted manifestos and saw the election through to its conclusion. Ashton Mercer won the election with 62.5% of the vote and was elected Steward of Ainur.


Military Matters

Our military has also been through radical changes in the past few weeks. James Narya (aka 94 Block) was removed as Lord Commander of the Knights for insubordination towards His Majesty, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Knights and holds the highest military rank of Marshal of Ainur. After throwing some very choice language at His Majesty (language which our more delicate readers will be glad we're not quoting here!) it was felt that James' position was untenable.

Thankfully, former Lord Commander Emrys Mercer was available to step in. He kindly agreed to take over the training of new Knights, which is a priority for the upcoming term. He has therefore been appointed to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander with special responsibility for training.

We wish Emrys the best of luck in his new position!

We hope you have enjoyed our little update. We wish you all well! Until next time, folks!

Thanks for the update! I'm glad that things are starting to come back together in Ainur...may it continue to be active and successful.

~94 BLOCK BANNED FOR LIFE~

[/color]
In an announcement by His Majesty King Augustus, 94 Block was banned following numerous warnings for his rude and dismissive behavior towards the residents of the region. Despite all that Ainur had done for him, 94 Block began to insult nearly every one of its citizens after losing his position as steward in a heated election. As summer brought more activity, plans to rebuild the region after disastrous April turmoil were made, but 94 Block, or James Narya as he was called, insisted on a military buildup as necessary for future activity. When these plans were defeated, his previously mentioned bad behavior resulted in his removal from public offices. After that, even more insulting and bad behavior resulted in his ejection from the region. Now he has been sighted in the notorious raider group DEN. Repairing diplomatic relations after his tumultuous stay has been one of the key issues presented to the new Foreign Ministry.

STEWARD ELECTION

[/color]
Klaus Mikaelson: 5
Re-Open Applications: 1

Despite the position of Steward being empty for some time, many felt a new Steward was needed in the considerably downsized government. Thus Klaus Mikaelson, a returning member, was swiftly elected to the position. Although the ministers are now appointed by the crown and already had been by the time Klaus was elected, the Steward was able to instill a discipline and coordination that did not exist before. The mere existence of this update is a testament to that. Since the banning of 94 Block the government has been reorganized with the complete dissolution of the Senate and the appointment of a new Crown Prince to replace the now-inactive Royal Chamberlain, Jack "Thorweald" Dawkins. Crushita Telcontar, the new Crown Prince, merely followed up on his appointment with the simple statement that "the Potato Revolution has begun". The Ainurian Pentagon's top cryptologists have been working 24/7 to figure out exactly what that means.

*DISGUSTING BRONY INFESTATION HAS TAKEN ROOT*

After the admittance of one Nargothond into the region, Ainur was plagued by posts relating to a show made for little girls despite the apparent lack of said little girls. Therefore emergency action was taken by the New Orderly Government of Ainurian Activity, or NOGAA, by way of the creation of a containment board so that ponies would never threaten the established hotspots of normal people activity. Hopefully this solution will work and new members are not scared off by mentions of pony hitler in the bar....
