Many people have been thinking about "underworld", but it seems nobody thought about the point of the original story of Lazarus being "defeating death", which completely fits with overcoming the coup and the use of the Phoenix as our emblem; that could be reflected through a theme related to "resurrection" or even "immortality". For example, being "The Immortals of Lazarus"... What do you think about that?

The Emerald thing is a symbol of Imperialist/NPO power struggle.

Lazarene Posts: 191 Group: Members Member #135 Joined: Apr 29, 2015	I'm not here to offer a new idea at the moment just that we should go back to thinking of ideas. The regional theme is far from settled at this point and Kazmr's constitutional draft is like the only constitution that didn't have an in-built theme.

Blessed of the Vale Posts: 1,532 Group: Members Member #63 Joined: Apr 14, 2015 Alignment Lawful Good Military Stance Neutral Nation in Lazarus Benevolent Thomas	Jack and I have been shooting the shit and came up with a few ideas if you want to call them that log Quote: 21:08:23: <BenevolentThomas> yes, lets discuss crazy themes in here 21:09:00: <BenevolentThomas> I think Parrothead Lazarus would be fun :p 21:10:21: <BenevolentThomas> We could make a restaurant in the spam area called Cheeseburger in Paradise 21:11:07: <DeadeyeJack> This is the least surprising suggestion ever made by BT 21:11:33: <BenevolentThomas> Or maybe a bar called "Changes in Latitudes Changes in Attitudes" :p 21:11:39: <Monomaniac> Lol 21:11:55: <BenevolentThomas> Its a miracle I didnt write a constitutional draft making Lazarus tropical 21:12:12: <DeadeyeJack> Already too many island regions 21:12:15: <BenevolentThomas> I spent too much time on the 'Cult of Harmoneia' draft that I never finished. 21:12:44: <BenevolentThomas> I always wanted to makke 10KI more tropical. It wasn't quite there yet in my eyes. 21:13:35: <DeadeyeJack> I'm just imagining Jesus and Lazarus chilling on the beach sipping margaritas 21:14:01: <BenevolentThomas> That can be the banner we use for the embassy thread 21:16:34: <BenevolentThomas> As much as I hate to admit it, I really do belong in Florida. 21:19:22: <BenevolentThomas> lets see... other themes... 21:19:44: <BenevolentThomas> we can't do wild west again... 21:20:35: <DeadeyeJack> obviously haha 21:21:02: <DeadeyeJack> We could just dedicate ourselves to the Phoenix but in what way 21:22:09: <BenevolentThomas> We could all be refugees traveling through space on a Phoenix model spacecraft named Lazarus :p 21:24:22: <BenevolentThomas> We could be a band of humans colonizing a new planet, hoping for a new future for the human race. We name our colony Lazarus as it is the rebirth of our civilization. 21:26:23: <BenevolentThomas> doesn't tickle your fancy? 21:28:03: <DeadeyeJack> I dunno. I don't really mind it. It just doesn't really add to the feel of the region I don't think. Like oh we're gonna build the exact same human civilization on a similar planet to earth 21:28:22: <BenevolentThomas> who says it has to be similar? Edited to remove irrelevant info 21:34:22: <DeadeyeJack> I still like my secret society deal to be some part of the regional culture regardless of theme 21:34:41: <BenevolentThomas> since we have an open legislature, why not Occupy Lazarus theme? 21:35:26: <DeadeyeJack> and what would that entail? 21:35:57: <BenevolentThomas> well the region would be located entirely in a public park 21:36:02: <BenevolentThomas> a tent city if you will 21:36:32: <BenevolentThomas> we'd have to use the human microphone to make any regional announcements 21:36:57: <BenevolentThomas> and that's only if everyone agrees to it vie wiggling their fingers in the air. 21:37:06: <BenevolentThomas> via* 21:38:19: <Monomaniac> You guys are full of a lot good ideas 21:38:41: <DeadeyeJack> well we're full of it, certainly 21:38:51: <BenevolentThomas> that last one wasn't a serious sugeestion :p 21:39:25: <BenevolentThomas> NationStates' hottest new night club is Lazarus 21:40:19: <BenevolentThomas> http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/snl/images/b/b7/SNL_Bill_Hader_-_Stefon.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120827035152 21:40:19: <DeadeyeJack> insert rest of steffon plug 21:41:15: <BenevolentThomas> Its got everything. Natives, Opportunists, even a wolf crying sheep. 21:42:13: <BenevolentThomas> located in a Broadway back alley, Lazarus was founded by venture capitalist pimps Funkadelia and Kazmr. 21:42:56: <DeadeyeJack> what if we take the underground idea but not as undead but like literally being driven underground or sewers in which we have our own society with designs on changing the above ground 21:43:17: <DeadeyeJack> kinda like a demolition man world, and puns are a must 21:43:48: <BenevolentThomas> I'm not sure if everyone would 'dig' that idea 21:44:22: <BenevolentThomas> maybe we'd need to 'drill' it in 21:44:25: <DeadeyeJack> I dunno. Point is we need to open up the brainstorming floodgates again 21:45:01: <BenevolentThomas> people need to start brainstorming, unless they want to get caught with one of our crazy ideas :p More irrelevant chatting removed 21:51:34: <BenevolentThomas> We could be a long abandoned band of 'survivors' trapped in a cold war era nuclear bunker complex! 21:51:48: <DeadeyeJack> Blast from the past! 21:52:08: <BenevolentThomas> oh now I know where that came from 21:52:18: <BenevolentThomas> I think I channeled Shizensky for a moment 21:52:36: <DeadeyeJack> Blast from the past isn't nearly as sinister as what you suggest though 21:53:05: <BenevolentThomas> fuck Brendan Fraser More 21:56:10: <BenevolentThomas> I'm actually really digging that nuclear bunker idea. Crap 21:56:37: <Monomaniac> Also nuke bunker sounds sweet 21:56:49: <Monomaniac> I know lol 21:57:02: <BenevolentThomas> We'd have to be careful to not make it too much like Fallout so the haters can't kill it for that reason. 21:57:54: <DeadeyeJack> wouldn't this have to be a vaguely authoritarian like society though 21:58:15: <BenevolentThomas> not necessarily 21:58:43: <BenevolentThomas> I'm sure liberty oriented socialists could have had a bunker commune
