Blasters Evaluation Team

The **Blasters Evaluation Team** (abbreviated as BET) is a component unit of Night Owls Tactical Command that is charged with developing, testing and evaluation of the equipment that Night Owls' members will use in the field.

An important component of BET's duties is to determine safe limits for the performance of blasters in play. This is typically decided by the velocity of a dart being fired, measured in feet-per-second (fps). Current fps limit for Night Owls games are set at 120fps, or <= 12kg spring load.

## Modular Collapsible Shield

One of BET's enduring achievements is the design and construction of the Modular Collapsible Shield (MCS). Responding to a request from the Intelligence Service for a large shield that is light enough to be carried by a single person, large enough to cover at least 3 (including the carrier), sturdy enough to withstand the stresses in battle and able to be dismantled and stored when not needed, a BET member came up with the initial design, which was then passed to another member for construction.

The MCS was first deployed at the Battle of Jade Hills III where it received much attention for its presence and performance. Currently classified as a 'heavy' shield, development efforts are underway for a lightweight personal variant and a Super-MCS, which is essentially a moving bunker.

## Merger

During Team2018, the Blasters Evaluation Team was merged with Drone Developments to form Innovations.

Municipalities of Lashardia

The **municipalities of Lashardia** (Lashardian: *kamsha, sg: kamst*) are its lower-level government entities. There are 104 municipalities which are responsible for a large proportion of local services, including schools, emergency services and physical planning. The cities of Lashardia do not belong to municipalities, but largely function similarly to them.

## Subdivisons

### Towns

Each municipality contains one town, named after the municipality. This town typically contains a higher population than the other settlements in the municipality and is the center of municipal government. The majority of government buildings in the municipality, such as schools, hospitals, and courts are located in the municipality's town. Towns are also sometimes called "seats".

### Villages

Villages are the surrounding settlements in a municipality. Typically, they have a smaller population than the municipality's town but this is not always the case. Villages are generally small in area and mostly contain simply houses, a shopping district, and a primary school. Most municipalities have several villages inside of them.

## Duties

According to law, the municipalities are responsible for:

* Childcare and pre-school
* Primary and secondary schools
* Social service
* Elderly care
* Support to people with disabilities
* Health and environmental issues
* Emergency services (not policing, which is the responsibility of the central government)
* Urban planning
* Sanitation (waste, sewage)

Many municipalities also provide services such as youth entertainment and housing services to make themselves look more attractive for potential residents due to the increasing amount of people moving from municipalities to cities.

Pillowtalkin'

**Pillowtalkin'** is a Lashardian boy band formed in 2012. The group currently consists of Aleks Roköring, Igor Karlöfortston, Jon Angusöbachik, and Zak Danöklevnik. Mikael Skij left the group in 2014 and has since had success as a solo artist.

The group was formed by Cyclops Records executives in 2012, and went on to release their debut single "Katie Lee" the following year. The song was a success, and they later released their debut self-titled album later in the year.

## History

### 2012–2014: Formation and *Pillowtalkin'*

In early-2012, an open call was put out by Cyclops Records for male singers aged 15-20. After several rounds of auditions it was announced that Aleks Roköring, Mikael Skij, Igor Karlöforston, Jon Angusöbachik, and Zak Danöklevnik had been cast as members of an upcoming Lashpop boy band. The group's name was later announced to be Pillowtalkin'.

The group released their debut single "Katie Lee" the following year. While the song was in the Lashpop style, it featured heavy inspiration from bubblegum pop and pop rock. The song was certified 3x platinum and reached number-two on the Lashardian singles chart. Their debut self-titled studio album was released later in the year and peaked at number-one on the Lashardian albums chart. It produced the hit singles "We Are Young", "Like You Mean It", and "Listen".

### 2014–present: Skij's departure and *Beautiful Nightmares*

The group revealed that they had begun work on their second studio album in early-2014. In March 2014, Skij revealed that he'd be leaving the band to pursue a solo career. He later revealed in interviews that he never wanted to be a part of Pillowtalkin' and did not enjoy his time as a member of the group.

The group released the lead single from their second studio album, "Better Without You" the following year. The single was largely considered a diss track directed towards Skij. While the song was still successful, it did not parallel their previous releases, peaking at number-ten on the Lashardian singles chart. Their second studio album *Beautiful Nightmares* was released in 2016. In late-2016, they were announced as participants in *Mösikalifestivali 2017*, with the song "Come With Me".
