Ermarian is ranked 56th in the region and 2,173rd in the world for Most Cultured.

Came here in April '05 during Pixiedance. Back then I had just started studying. Since then, I've moved about four times, broke off studying, learned a bit about statistics, public speaking and information theory, started studying again elsewhere, and had all kinds of fun over all. Oh, and I...

Ermarian is ranked 44th in the region and 1,916th in the world for Healthiest Nations.

Ermarian is ranked 26th in the region and 1,075th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments. :)

I've been on a few forums these seven years, and one of the things I've learned is that announced absences never last. If it's a bitter announcement, the absence will be half as long. If you're polling people's opinion of you, a quarter. In that spirit, au revoir. I'd hate to see any such...

Since this is a first (as far as this forum is concerned), I'll copy down our entire top hundred: There are actually three of my nations in there. Oh, and there is obviously a pretty rabid fan of Mariah Carey.

Not sure if the per-capita ranking is a different one, but I'm posting it here: Ermarian is ranked 43rd in the region and 2,124th in the world for Largest Public Sector (per capita).

Introduction to Mathematical Logic.

Today, Ermarian is ranked 40th in the region and 1,731st in the world for Largest Welfare Programs (per capita).

A new ranking! Ermarian is ranked 72nd in the region and 2,801st in the world for Most Godforsaken. That's a bit low, though. I need more religion issues to vote on. :P

Punishment? Oh wait never mind.

That was 3.5 years ago... and now: Ermarian is ranked 20th in the region and 727th in the world for Most Beautiful Environments.

Arrrr! Welcome back to everyone's favorite pirate! :D

I am back. Good to see all of you. Hi DD.

They must be getting kind of desperate if they're looking for new recruits in NS. ... lolwut? Oh, and hey everyone. Sorry for dropping out and CTEing for a few months; college is kind of stressful now. Edit: Please note that this TG spam was sent to my puppet in the South Pacific, so it's...

As far as multiplayer games are concerned, I play Battle for Wesnoth, Age of Empires II and NetStorm. I avoid MMORPGs (especially paid ones) as they carry a high risk of addiction, and I am already susceptible to computer overuse. But I used to play Runescape; I still sometimes log into Puzzle...

Aye to all. [This vast candidate turnout really makes me feel like my vote is essential for the democratic process.]

No Erastide? :P

Log in today, or you'll miss it again! :P (Alas, I'm still #14/#27, in spite of prolific tarting since then.)

YAY! ALL HAIL OUR GLORIOUS LEADER! LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION! ... Oh wait, he was kidding? *cough* Never mind. Yeah, dictators, hate them all. Bless democracy. And stuff.

Noted; I was just making idle observations. :)

Ermarian is what fans call the world that Exile and Avernum are set in. When I made my first set of nations, Ermarian was one of the names I used as I was freshly involved in the fanlore community. In 2005, I happened to use this exact nation by chance when observing the happenings in TNP...

... wow, I forgot that it's not a small server anymore. I get something like a bajillion jiggabytes of diskspace now. :P

Perhaps it should be spammed in a few of the feeders to make sure that the pure gameplayers get in on it as well. Also, if it's going to be posted in multiple places, the survey should maybe include a question of "where did you find this survey", to note the different sample sizes.

I hate archive purges. There are several old Jolt threads I care a lot about (mainly long-winded roleplays, and the "Christmas stories" that were already in the archive forum). I'll save the ones I can find, but I'd really like a complete archive to be kept available in case I missed one. --...

I was going to say that already! :P

I like the idea a lot. :) Will it come with a unification of ad rules over the different feeders as well? Because right now, the limits appear to vary and a message that is forbidden in TNP might be legal elsewhere.

It'd probably suffice to just extend the B.1. prohibition to all "offsite property" (as defined above) instead of only "forums". This would make it clear that the law does, in fact, apply to all off-NS sites (not just our own), and it includes stuff like wikis. As you stated that the treaty...

There is indeed an uncomfortably narrow margin between the cap (120) and the election minimum (108 right now). It's possible to target a range of 12 endorsements by tarting in bursts and patiently waiting for the reaction - but it's not that easy. We don't want to coax people even into *nearly*...

I notice some language issues that are either redundancies or a serious flaw, depending on how literally you interpret it. So far so good. "Forum" refers to z13, "offsite property" is any other organization's forum. Okay? "Off-site property", the only term that we define to cover forums by...
