The Nelaga Territories

The dream lives on...
ImageGarpy the MagiGARP Says: - - - September 4, 2010

Garpity garp garp. Garpy is pretty sure those clouds changed their cycle times somewhat. Garpy misses long sunsets.

Behold! The long-awaited Nelagan Navy has revealed their Nelagan Naval Guide to the Untrained, and it is chuck-filled with ship classifications, naval ranks, battlegroup summaries, naval culture, and more. All shall know of our nation's naval might! Garpy's only complaint is that their mascot is one of those "Sea Dragon" things... as if such a beast could withstand a MagiGARP's deadly Splash attack!

Outside the Territories, Nelaga's first bid for Amity Island failed to be accepted by Shireroth ... er... Eastern Benacia ... well... that red country to the north, prompting a fairly big fiasco in which Nelaga said some unflattering things about... those guys... and then they came here to complain and defend themselves, which turned into a big clustergarp that eventually degenerated into a group therapy session.

A new discussion topic was started to try to create a new treaty by consensus of both nations, and almost unanimously everyone agrees on exactly what was in the first treaty that was rejected. Garpy has to ask what the point of all the hostility and rejection regarding the first treaty was all about! And hey, why is it the Mango-Eagle Treaty Discussion, anyway? Since when did the eagle become our national symbol! Garpy is the one doing all the work up here!

On another nearby island, Istvanistan's government finally collapsed, and a coalition between Nelaga, Gralus, and Babkha are negotiating a joint claim of the territory to serve our mutual interests. But increasing indigenous activity, possibly coupled with official Stormark support, may make this a sticky situation. But not to worry; the Nelagan Navy is already pulling their weight and has dispatched forces to secure our claim. Garpy swims beside them! To war, my fishy comrades! Hey, can I get a little spiked hat here or something?

In other news, Gravball fever (whatever THAT is!) is sweeping the nation, ducks are sneaky mallards and are the main course at Duckfeast in Maraguo, let's all give Jacobus's wife a helping hand, and you're running out of time to claim a bonus for filling our your merit calculations for August!

Upon further inspection... I discovered some crazy European decided to put the day first, and not the month. Hence the mix up.

January 1st, 2010
vs
First of January, 2010

Shorter, better flowing date that everyone says = write the numbers in the same format when not spelling them out. Makes sense to me :p

Nurse: Because it would save time, money lives and make sense... and this is the army.

I can't say i've ever thought of it like that. And I'm pretty sure in the proper sense, when you write "january 1st" it's meant to be said as 'the first of january'.

And the real logic is that a month is bigger than a day, and a year is bigger than a month. so its ascending.

There's nothing magical about ascending order, any more than there's anything magical about it 11:11 AM. It's just mathematical quirks.

I really do say "January first" or "December twelfth" when speaking, so I write my dates like that.

I say it the same way as Harvey. 10-1-85 would be spoken, "October first, nineteen eighty-five." just lik that. Or short hand, you just say the numbers in that order.

I don't know what that phrase is from, but I love the aggressiveness of it. Cheers.
