Devastating attacks by Anarchy21
You must've heard this a few times now and know all the details, but heres the story anyways. INR and more recently Baracao have been attacked by a micronational terrorist group calling themselves "Anarchy21". The tricky stuff is that they haven't got a forum so you can't attack em back. Lots of people believe that Politika has close ties with Anarchy21, others say Kuralyov is the only person in it.

This last statement is silly, because it's pretty clear that the attacks were not carried out by one person. The weapon used was ezbomb (propably a modified version). The attacks were supposed to erase out a whole forum, by using "the 20 page bug". Ezboard only saves 500 topics (or 20 pages), everything that goes beyond this is lost. "20 page bug" attacks aim to fill the 20 pages of a forum with spam, to erase all the rest of the content. They succeeded in the INR, but in Baracão, they didn't...

In Baracão, a few determined individuals saw the attack going on and came up with the idea of "bumping". Bumping means that they reply to threads, in order to move them to the top so that they don't fall of the 20th page. They were able to save about 2 pages. Although apparently, Baracão was able to save the complete forum with one of their tricks. How they did so remains a mystery.

Feianova has taken a few measures. The Admin Act came right in time, since we have lots of admins that can spot an attack now. Information was released on "what to do in dangerous situations". For now, floodcheck has been turned on. There was a proposition to turn on Membership By Approval, but most people thought it was not needed.

Feianova after (almost) 2 months
Feianova's been around for almost 2 months now (2 months exactly next week). It's a nice opportunity to look back on what we have accomplished already.

Feianova is quite a unicum in the micronational world, in different ways. It is the only anarchist nation around, or at least the only successful one. It is also the only ezboard based nation that has given all its citizens admin, and for a 2 month old nation it has a surprising amount of culture.

We have a language, which isn't very common, and what's less common is that quite some people (even non citizens) are actually learning it. We have 9 citizens of which most visit at least once a week, and of which 5 or 6 are reasonably active. We've got a forum with 1750 posts, and a post rate of 27 posts a day. We've got a 273 posts-long Word Association game and 29 (in total, pre and post anarchist) pieces of passed legislation

We have, in this short period, already gone through a reform, which didn't seem to be very successful at first but turned out to be quite so.

Feianova is, although it is still small, on the right way. Maybe one day we will be compared to Baracão...

Short News
- Someone bought Feianova gold! LONG LIVE YOU WHOEVER YOU ARE :).

- We're a big nation now... we've got a spammer!

- The first clf (comisia linqueda feianovedo) issue has been closed. There'll be more of these issues in the future, to make Feianovedo a real "language of the people".

- We got our land on the MCS. Currently we're naming cities, and a big map will be created.

- The Pacary Remembrance forum has been closed. It's been quite successful.

Assembly update

The Administration guideline has passed. Just in time I say. The Left Alliance treaty has also been passed and is being proposed to other nations right now.

ON VOTE:
We're currently voting on wether or not to create a forum for the Left Alliance here. The treaty with the Grand Star Army is being voted upon as well.
