Welcome to the Global Right Alliance's forums!

Firstly, you can only see a very limited amount of the forums at the moment. You will be able to see the full forums and properly participate in our region and its community when you register.

Join our Community


Now, on to the region itself. Don't let the name, specifically the "Right", fool you. We've got members from across the political spectrum, and our political parties have always reflected this. The Global Right Alliance (GRA), as primarily a gameplay region, has been everything from an anarchy to a monarchy to a homegrown rotatorship. The region has had such governments because of its culture, which adores political intrigue and thrives on confrontation. With the increase of the region's population, many veterans have returned. It is the beginning of a new Global Right Alliance and a new government system.

I know the forums can be quite intimidating; there's people who have been here for nearly a decade and have over 10,000 posts. However, we welcome new members and encourage them to get involved. If you want help finding your way around, we have resources to help you to get on your way.

In the Government
Feeling inadequate and silly, the Senate has made a strong attempt to demonstrate its continuing relevance. It voted on and passed Rules and Regulations of the Senate, as well as a Constitutional Amendment related to the same subject, followed by a Themed Government Act and a Themed Government Amendment. We have also reaffirmed our signature of the Convention on Offsite Property Security and commenced legislation to bring us in line with its requirements, reratified our Treaty with Unknown, established a Committee of Shiny Things to create incentives for recruitment efforts, and are finishing drafting pieces of legislation regarding Civic Holidays and the role of the Arbiter General.

Following the passage of the Themed Government Act, our wise and benevolent Consul, tarricoe, has seen fit to impose a Roman theme on our organs of government! Titles for at least the next three months shall be:

Founder - Praetor Maximus
Co-Founder - Praetor
Chief Minister - Consul
Officers - Magistrates
WA Delegate - Aedile
Arbiter General - Tribune
Senators - Senators

And most recently, Kubrikistan has resigned his position as Magistrate of Immigration, and replacement candidates are being sought. We thank him for his service, and wish his eventual successor the best of luck in a thankless task!

At the World Assembly
Having taken over from Isaris when the former Aedile Ceased to Exist, the lovely Zeorus has conscientiously attended to aedilic voting duties. Here now are all of the votes since our last update... apologies for the length! (That's what she said...)

Domestic Affairs
With the return of our friendly resident spammer Astarial, the fun and games section has seen a resurgence of activity and enthusiasm. This activity has necessitated the creation of a brand new position, that of Games & Fun Vice-Magistrate, currently held by Tse Moana of the infamous Tse points.

Games and Fun
Along with the general interest in fun spamming games, such as Word Association or Who Will Post Next?, there has been increased interest in more thought-provoking areas. A new virtual cooking competition has been established, with the first challenge, due September 5th, being to make a sandwich. In addition, inspired by her time spent abroad in Amman, Astarial has created Crazy Talk, a place to share fun sayings and weird facts about different languages. And to top it off, Truth or Dare has risen back to prominence, with a very creative take on a love letter dare.

Role Playing
Equilism's RP section has continued to be a mainstay of forum activity, with activity in Superheroes, Dynasties, the Underworld, and Worlds A-E. Due to a resurgence of demand, a new roleplay named Blood and Shadows has also been established, run by the illustrious Kubrikistan and Agamemnon Mustang. Neither sparkly nor lame, these vampires and vampire hunters will kick your ass if you call them "Edward".

Debate and Current Event Discussions
There was some discussion earlier in the summer about religion, including what and why we believe, as well as a very brief tangent into the existence or non-existence of free will. That finished fairly quickly, though, and has been replaced by chatter about politics, covering the 2012 US Presidential Elections, liberalism and conservatism, Wikileaks, Julian Assange, and whistleblowing.

Immigration
Felasia has issued a recruiting challenge to the region, betting that he can out-recruit everybody else combined. If he wins, he gets to replace everybody's title and other such information with anything he likes, and if he loses, has the same thing done to him.

Thus far, the only person to take him up on his challenge is Astarial. What on earth is wrong with the rest of you!?

We also welcome Agamemnon Mustang, Tim, Jamie, ABK, and Feux to our forum.

Foreign Affairs
Equilism's Foreign Affairs department has come back with a bang... or rather, several sequential bangs which, like fireworks, are less startling than all of them going off all at once. We have exchanged embassies and ambassadors with Liberty Alliance and Glass Gallows and are currently in treaty negotiations with our current favorite feeder and sinker, The North Pacific and Osiris.

In a fulfillment of Equilism's treaty with Unknown, we received a formal invitation to their glorious, gory Carnival of Blood. The Carnival has been attended by Astarial, Zeorus, Tim, and Jamie, who are greatly enjoying their time playing with new avatars and socializing with our friends

E-Army
With an impromptu communique, the E-Army assisted Liberty Alliance in a training mission in Warzone Europe. Coffee cake and flowers were awarded to all participants, as well as left lying around the region as traps and hazards for whoever the next delegate might be.

Obsidian Order
The tall, dark, and handsome younger brother of the E-Army, the Obsidian Order has been deploying lately in support of our allies abroad, including to The North Pacific to safeguard the delegacy of Eluvatar against the reluctantly rampaging hordes of Mcmasterdonia, unwillingly supported by a surprise unendorsement campaign. The Obsidian Order, charming in a tuxedo and top hat, reiterates its support for our allies and encourages them to call on us in their times of need, which we 100% guarantee not to be the cause of.
