So, um, hey again. I guess most of you'll be surprised to see me here again, apart from Eluvatar and a few who've seen me around on IRC. Also, sorry for that episode last year. RL issues closed in, but I shouldn't have disappeared like that. :pinch: During a recent discussion on endorsements...

Renewing some of our foreign relations would probably do TNP good. What do you all think?

So apparently, someone got a telegram recruitment they didn't like, responded to it, and the next thing I know I get this in my TG inbox: You have to love that. From the name, flag and motto, it appears he is also crusading against either Krulltopia's spam ban, or feeder-specific spam rules in...

It's been over a week, but it feels like only the forum tag makes it all legitimate. (Or as legitimate as I can be without ever having been elected. If I understand it correctly, the legal argument is that by being in the Security Council, I became next in line after the Vice Delegate in an...

Eluvatar has declared that Grimalkin is removed from the office of Speaker, pending the conclusion of the trial, and that special elections for the Speaker of the Regional Assembly are to be held immediately. As acting Delegate, I will appoint an Electoral Commission to conduct this election...

While New Kervoskia was delegate, the line limit on regional recruitment was lowered to two, according to the WFE. I can't find any reference to that here, so was this a decree by NK directly? Moreover, what should we enact now? Two lines are very little indeed, while 15 lines were quite a lot...

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

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.

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

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...

It is no secret that NationStates politics are a joke. Not an intentional one either. We're plainly ridiculous. But with the US presidential campaigns first entering "negative", sliding through "character attacks" and now straight down to "mud-slinging", I keep wondering whether we are all that...

Kind friends, North Pacificans, countrywomen and men, lend me your ears! This month has brought a new dawn to our region. For nearly one hundred days, our community here on z13 was in danger of being supplanted and phased out of relevance. Our democracy and constitution, everything we had...

I have submitted this already, but in the event of its failure, editing help would be greatly appreciated!

There used to be some gameplay restrictions that the mod placed on delegate wars, in the form of curtailing banjections. These restrictions have since been replaced by influence, giving rise to a kind of "do whatever you can get away with" philosophy. In my opinion this climate has spread from...

Premise 1: A nation can only lose influence by being outside a region or using the regional controls. Premise 2: An Auxiliary ranks higher than an ambassador. Observation 3: This morning, Great Bights Mum changed from being an Auxiliary to an Ambassador. Does someone have an explanation? Is...

I recall a topic on s2 where we filked song lyrics or poems and posted them as part of the Pixiedance unendorsement campaign on the RMB. I couldn't find the topic anymore, but it seemed like a fine tradition. Especially when the lines of a certain Tolkien poem came to my mind and I was...

Felasia's rhetoric is getting on my nerves. I must be that man he is talking about, but I rather fear the position shall be broadly contested. Can we have a quick roll-call of "No, I'm Spartacus" here? Think of it as a petition. We can have a precise number to counter Felasia's argument with.

I couldn't help but notice that the forum header is updated manually. I've whipped up a tiny little bit of JavaScript here that could be copied into the forum skin, which will result in the latest endorsement count being fetched from the scanner with AJAX-magic. :) It doesn't have to be used...

I actually just posted this on the RMB: It wasn't on purpose either. :lol:

So it seems I've missed a few things while I was gone. Rogue delegates, forum schisms, an NS upgrade that broke my scanner to bits, and now an ultimatum from a foreign power! But now I'm back and ready to rumble! I'll do whatever I can to help this proud region defend its own. :yes:

It is now four years (and one day, strictly speaking) ago that I created my first nation, Parth on NS. I've been gone for a lot of time in between, but I've usually come back whenever the really interesting things happened! :D Edit: And by coincidence, this is also my 333rd post. Yay for...

I've been away for a few weeks on a quest to learn the ancient lore of statistics, and the evenings were long enough to play around with PHP. :) I suppose you've all heard of the test that maps your economic and social policy on a two-dimensional plane? It's an immensely arbitrary test, of...

In NS terms, Microsoft was caught ISO-multi-ing in the region of Sweden. Unfortunately, it looks like Sweden merely gets ejected for this vote. I wouldn't mind seeing MS deated, personally. :lol:

So I just got a telegram... I didn't tell him I'm a die-hard atheist in order not to lose his vote. Which means I have become a politician in most senses of that word. :unsure:

All right... I'm sorry for what happened in irc://irc.esper.net/tnp. Asleep plus enforced nick kill plus auto-reconnect plus bad client configuration equals the annoyance of the century. I've configured Chatzilla so it should identify me more consistently in the future. Shouldn't happen again...

As I may have mentioned in the IRC channel a little over a week ago, I just got my nations revived. All 17 of them. Most of them for the second, a few for the third and I think one or two for the fourth time. Needless to say, if I pull that again, the mods will not look kindly on me. So I made...

I never did post a hello topic in here, so I guess I still get to do this. I don't know exactly how long I've been gone from NS (much as you don't really notice when you fell asleep, remembering when you last logged in is kind of tricky), but it must be a few months at least. I still haven't...

So I just stumbled upon a news article about CN, saying that the apparently fascist alliance "Nordreich" is being investigated by Norwegian authorities. Nordreich describes itself as "conservative", "nationalist" and "European pride", which are usually warning signs around here. Since a lot of...

Well, technically it started on the 29th - I made my first nation four years and three days ago. But I didn't have time to post on that occasion. Now I can wish you a happy new year and celebrate my fourth anniversary at this terrific game, all in one topic! And what is more, I read Jennifer...

I really envy the mod who gets to deal with this request. :pinch: It's the fault of Nanowrimo, I completely forgot what month it was.
