And indeed the only Mod drawn from the region-war community.

If mathematical proofs and weather forecasts aren't relevant to your NS experience, you're playing the game wrong.

See, this is why oldbies ought to not fade away. I don't think it's fair to discount Francos Spain. I'm not of the opinion that what he did took any significant amount of skill, intelligence, or talent, but his actual impact on the game is unquestionable, even if the role would surely have been...

You have no idea. :P As you may have guessed, I like the Rejected Realms, my home and native land, the most. The atmosphere is great, the people are nice, the politics are sane, and we get front-row seating on everyone else blowing each other up. Aside from that, I like TEP, my other home...

If you don't mind my curiosity, Tormin, I've always wondered about the rationale for endorsement-swapping. People have said a lot of things in the past, but it's almost always been a cover for some sort of invasion or revolutionary intent. You, however, appear to be telling the truth about your...

You're living in the past. Herding goats is where it's at. Apecifically, Albanian goats.

This is correct. By the fact that you reside in the region and have less Influence than the Delegate, the Delegate's authority applies to you by default. The Regional Assembly merely determines how that authority is to be applied. The only way to escape from such authority is to relocate to a...

As someone who will remain anonymous put it: Seriously, though, accusing people who are heavily involved in internet games of being no-life basement-dwelling social rejects is silly on so many levels. Sure, if you throw the accusation around enough, you might hit the mark...if you play a...

For now, anyway.

One of the best ways of suppressing dissent is to claim that the argument is over.

Seeking endorsements from 300 people is aggressively gathering endorsements. It vastly exceeds any number of people you could conceivably be trying to develop close relations or whatever with. You can argue about semantics, but it's up to the Delegate to determine what is a threat, thus the...

This is Nationstates. There are Reds under the bed, squeezed in there with the anarchists, fascists and monarchists. It's like the Rule 34 of politics. If the political system can be imagined, there's someone in this game willing to stage a violent revolution to put it in power.

Genetic engineering: Putting the "cat" back in "cattle".

Because endorsement-swapping is in many ways an innately hostile and aggressive action, of the sort you might not want to do if your intentions are friendly. To use another example, if a nation declares peace and friendship with another, it would be prudent to cease posting vast military forces...

We're always open! :Hello: I may be interpreting this wrong, but one possible rationale behind the current approach is that endorsement-swapping is an inherently hostile action, equivalent to an attack mechanism in more militant games. Sure, some players may be (and most are) unaware of the...

Indeed, it's really more of a probability than a possibility - NS history has shown that aggressive endorsement-swappers pretty much always want to be Delegate. Sometimes they say it outright, sometimes they conceal it for a while, but actions speak louder than words, and there's really only one...

The title of this thread sounds like a daytime soap opera. Ideally, it would be one - we could tune in every week for the latest shocking episodes about who's conspiring with who, who's planning what, and who the father of the baby really is. Family fun all around, as the world turns...

Religion and politics, too. Now all we need is for someone to mention sex to complete the trifecta.

According to the Crimson Order, this is your fault.

Regional ads go in another section of this forum. Yes, I know you don't think of yourself as a region. This is still an advertisement.

My first browser was AOL. I wasn't aware that Navigator could be used to actually access the Web.

Sweet! Where can I get one of those aerial facecats?

And here I was expecting 'Miss Saigon'.

Are you saying I'm not the dark side? :bat:

New Jersey?

Pissed? Did you see me at the time? I was friggin' ecstatic! ^_^

Do not be surprised if you encounter some resistance to those ideas. Why? It is true that NS is a game of game mechanics. It's also true that in terms of game mechanics, it's one of the worst-built games on the whole Web. No insult intended to Mr. Barry - he just never gave us much to work...

Ah, I remember this one. Kittens? Worship: 5.5/10 - Everyone seems to love them, but they're hard to respect. Weapon: 3/10 - More useful as a diversion than the killing blow. Still useful as a diversion. How about...

This is thread necromancy of the vilest sort, but I think a response is due to this. One of the fundamental truths of NS RP - and one that not many RPers realize - is that if you don't place your forum's entire emphasis on war, almost all of the questions you asked have no wrong answers. Many...

Are you volunteering? :eyebrow:
