    Admin Requests

    The quote immediately above is from your first PM to me. I realize that, technically, quoting a part of a PM conversation without asking permission is against the rules, but you were acting in your capacity as Admin and you did ask. The "baity references" I can understand if not agree with. As...

    Admin Requests

    On May 3 I contacted Eluvatar to request context for the suspension of the vast majority of my forum privileges. They responded that it "would be a little while." I contacted them again on May 22 requesting the same. In this last case I did not receive a response. There has been no response on...

    Telegram 4: Joining the WA

    Modifying quotes is a serious pain, so I'll have to skip it. The reason the NPA thing is in there is that it's something that can be done with a WA nation, as the TG states, with no incentive for the reader to go to the dispatch. Probably the reason it's also the first in the order of things...

    Moderator Post Preview and PM Restriction on this Account. Appeal.

    An update. I came back in here for the first time in several days and found that I was still logged in. While it's possible that I had forgotten to log out, I'm usually pretty careful about both that and the "stay logged in" option. Possibly nothing, but I don't know.

    Moderator Post Preview and PM Restriction on this Account. Appeal.

    Okay. I was looking over previous blog entries out of a tangentially related purpose. For whatever reason my mobile doesn't always take me to the last entry. I noticed that several posts had been modified by a moderator. The posts were, iirc correctly, as I had written them. Was something...

    HA Pen Pals Application Thread

    I'll do this, though if it comes to PMing on the forum I'll have to pass the torch to someone else.

    How does one insert images for Executive Staff onto one's signature when html code does not work and there is no image insertion tool that I can find? Edit: the image insertion tool is now working, but did not initially. Follow up question. When I look at my own profile I simply see the <img>...

    [GA - FAILED] Restrictions On Blood Sports

    Huh. I blew that one. No excuse but that of exhaustion and a bit of stress/distraction. Still against. Clause 2: as Tlomz stated. 3. Personally I have no issue with a nonforced consent to risk one's own life in such games if one is considered an adult by the member nation and possesses the...

    [GA - PASSED] Military Identification Tag Act

    I don't know what is required in other nations, but at the time that I was in the U.S. military the dog tags also had our social security number on them. Edit: names alone are insufficiently specific.

    [GA - PASSED] Military Identification Tag Act

    6 - I'm taking this to mean that unregistered combatants are fair game due to the likelihood of illegal, subversive and/or unsanctioned actions, at least in the form that can be put forward as plausibly deniable. I.e., don't attempt to claim such as sanctioned combatants. More may be put forward...

    Delegate's Report Bill

    The only quibble that I have remaining is a required monthly, or thereabouts, Delegate report isn't in there anymore. Tie it to time in office rather than a specific date. Perhaps every 5-6 weeks so that it dovetails with the final report.

    It's Awesome to be Back... An "Ask Me Anything" Thread

    Good answer, but allow me to be less ambiguous. Edit whatever: What do you know of The Minister's/Pierconium's, the one who was listed as Imperator Emeritus on the Pacific's Nationstates regional page as of the time of the posting of my original question, past activities in the Pacific and/or...

    Sigh. Your The Minister. As in TP's. Pierconium. Ah. I see that I hadn't previously capitalized the "t". Thanks.

    Thanks for that Praetor. Edit: apologies for that Mods. I didn't know how to use multiquote, but think I may have figured it out now.

    It's Awesome to be Back... An "Ask Me Anything" Thread

    Your answer proved to be the better one. Definitely more accurate. Thank you. Another few questions. What do you know about the Minister? I'm curious. I've rarely interacted with him, but have done so a few times. Quite briefly. ;) I notice that Pierconium is still listed as Imperator...

    It's Awesome to be Back... An "Ask Me Anything" Thread

    My point being that here are certainly nations in your government that know, or are/were NS Mods or know nations that know nations. The original request was originated by someone in your government. Or, at the least, that particular post was flagged to the attention of the NS Mods by someone in...

    Delegate's Report Bill

    I believe that this bill is necessary. Some vague "when it's necessary" doesn't cut it. Better to foresee the possibility that some Delegate will choose not to file reports and head it off before it becomes an issue in any form. As to dates, I really don't care. A, roughly, monthly report would...

    It's Awesome to be Back... An "Ask Me Anything" Thread

    I rather like TP. In many respects. ;) They've earned my respect. I had a nation that was forcibly CTE'd by NS Admin after making a single, admittedly provocative, but not intended to be trollish, post on TP's RMB. That particular nation can no longer even be brought back from the Boneyard...

    Prydania For Delegate

    I happen to disagree here. I think HA should be allowed more creativity in this aspect. Something the Minister, Deputies, and whomever decide would be more enjoyable for staff in general. Perhaps impinging a bit on Culture and perhaps not. It would be up to them and their boss. That would be...
