NationStates Dopers, a moment of your time, please...

Hi.

Remember me?

Nhanyanyja Thuthunha Jumanku?
Well, anyways, last year we had some good times. Remember Hawaii? That was a blast. I hope folks there are still drinking Metric Blue Hawaiians. And, of course, the whole “1984” thing… Good times. I see that the Dopestani Order has moved, so I just thought I’d post the good news over here.

Anyone remember why I had to leave?

We’re getting married April 3rd.

And I’m a happy guy.

Hey Darth. I assume my Rogue State is still going strong, but I quit playing a while ago. It was just obnoxious to deal with the same 3 Issues every week.

And congrats on the marriage!

Thanks. It was clearly worth walking away from Jumangku*, eh?

[sub]*jeez, did I really misspell my own name in my OP?[/sub]

i’d completely forgotten i had a state until I saw this thread…

Time to go check on it.

Just curious - how many NationStates dopers read the book because of the game?

I’m one. I’d seen the book in the bookstore, and passed on it. Then I read about the game in the Sunday paper and signed-in. Finally, I had to read the book out of a mixture of weird guilt and curiosity.

Hey congratulations mate. I remember you seemed quite keen on her!

My nation was Great Newington Butts by the way. I haven’t really paid much attention to nationstates recently, i’m not even sure if the invasions and stuff are still going on. My nation even got deleted due to inactivity, i resurrected it but haven’t done much with it.

We have a promo copy lying around the house, but I haven’t got around to reading it yet.

I bought it and read it. It’s fantastic. Truly inspired.

Giedi_Prime is still growing, although I dismiss most of the dilemmas and let the populace run wild. You can’t tell 2.5 billion people what to do all of the time, no matter how you try.

I never read the book- no time to read and surf.

I think I’m just sticking it out until the site quits, or until something interesting happens. If only you could actually do anything…

The Most Serene Republic of Deca Taegan has only existed for a few months.

Like Steelerphan, I have not read the book.

That’s why I read it. People who think Good Omens is the funniest book ever have obviously not read Jennifer Government. Any book that can make a mini-fridge the focus of a hysterical scene…

Alas the Holy Empire of Disgruntled Elves was dismantled by a higher power many months ago. What say you good people, ought I try to regain my country?

The Holy Empire/People’s Front Of eunoia extend greetings and congratulations and will dispatch an ambassador with the traditional gift of llama snouts and wet shredded newspaper.

I think the unicorns have overrun the populace by now and the survivors are holed up in caves, questing for fire. Poor Alluuna, I should really go and see the mess it has become but I never wanted to hunt unicorns for dinner, darn it. And the kids liked selling lemonade, why crush their hopes and dreams? sigh

I had a NationState once, but I got sick of the recurring problems, and left it alone to die of neglect.

It did prompt me to read Jennifer Government , however. A mediocre read, IMHO.

That’s great to hear man, congratulations!! We haven’t crashed regions that much lately, but it’s probably just a dry spell. We seem to crush other regions later in the year anyways. My nation is Happyplace by the way.

I’m the benevolent dictator of the Republic of Thallassa. I also read the book after seeing the site and reading the blurb about it. It’s great, and I use the green eye with the tattoo as my AIM icon, as well as on various message boards as my avatar. :slight_smile:

Alas, The Holy Empire of Disgruntled Elves can not reform. So I took the few surviors and formed a new nation The Holy Empire of More Disgruntled Elves. Of course they are, they’ve been forced to move! I promise to try to curb their violent tendencies.

I think I’m the only Doper who got into NS as much as I have. If I recall… the control over my life has gotten pretty extensive. I read the book about a year ago. The ending was “eh”, but the rest of it was very good.

As for Jumangku, that’s fantastic. I remember you were crazy about her. Sad to see you go though. You sure you’re going to go with her over folks you know on the internet? There’s still time, you know.

Ah, in that case the Dopeistani Order of Bastards honors your achievement with a 21 potato gun salute.

Salute

I have just learned that my state was disolved. Bummer
