NS History: You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers!

[Alvalero]

As I'm sure most people will think Testllandia made it to prevent some idiot for stirring up trouble as the factbook says

Maybe now, but originally that's false, since Isis was one of the first female named GCRs discussed if another sinker was added. It happened around that time rather than around everyone hearing a lot of news about ISIS/ISIL.

I know. I remember reading that thread. Imagine what it would be like now had it become a GCR. Now thanks to the actual Isis it would be a very distasteful move for it to become one.

Thank you for all the answers though

Could someone give a brief timeline on when some of the biggest NS events happened?

That is waaaay too generic of a question.

My nation was founded around Dec 2002. It remains to this day.

Could I get a brief history of Osiris? I want to know about this Kemetic Republic thingy and Empire.

Could I get a brief history of Osiris? I want to know about this Kemetic Republic thingy and Empire.

Ok, it was created in Oct. Revert was the first nation in, Zaolat was the 8th. (Sorry only order I recall)

Kain the Dragoon also known as Leonardo Romefeller, moved into the region with others from The Ascendancy. TITO saw this and moved in to stop Kain. Wordy as Sichuan Pepper lead the TITO troops.

I called in many people to assist me take the delegacy, and eventually after finding out that Kain was Leo, convinced him and his group to join me. Mahaj had a good amount of endos as well. In the end Wordy got the delegacy.

TITO had called for elections with A Mean Old Man hosting. In the end it ended with a tie between Revert & Zaolat. Because Zaolat had voted for Revert, Revert asked his vote be changed to Zaolat out of fairness or something. Zaolat won the elections and the delegacy and became the first Pharaoh of Osiris/Second Delegate.

Some of the people I brought in brought in others and others not brought in came, the initial planning was done by a small group and later worked on by everyone who became citizens. Eventually the KRO constitution was finalized and voted in. Elections happened and my Kai Repat (Vice Delegate) Dalimbar won the elections and became the second Pharaoh.

Dalimbar chose Oliver (Known from Europeia) as his Kai Repat. Dali eventually went inactive and Oliver took over in his stead. Lyanna Stark aka Earth eventually joined and won elections as Pharaoh. She had multiple terms iirc, and eventually was succeeded by StGeorge/Madjack aka Nierr. Madjack was succeeded by The Dourian Embassy aka Treize Dreizhen.

Finally, we had the next elections come up between Douria, Cormac, and Zaolat. Cormac won the elections and Douria went rogue starting the Gatesville Coup. There's alot more but that's all I will say for now.

P.S. Don't mind my third person bits.

Edit: Typos

[Ikania]

Thanks. Now can someone tell me about the Kemetic Republic, Empire, why Douria is now Vizier after trying to coup and what is Gatesville? I remember them from when I first joined.

Not entirely sure how to go about making it more specific, I don't really know anything at all about NS history :/

Like, battles and events that you would consider the defining points of NS - things that, if one were to take a beginners course on NS history, would definitely be included.

Still amazingly broad.
There's 11+ years of 'history' with hundreds of things happening a week. Raiders and defenders fight every update (twice a day) there's all sorts of things going on.

In the beginning there was Max. And Max brought forth the game and with it Admin to watch over the Code. Max commanded the Game bring forth Issues and the UN. And Max commanded the Game to bring forth Regions into which nations would be born with the help of Holy Sovereign Individuals. Later the Game called out to Max for help in managing it's charges and Max bade Admin bring forth the Mods.

Thus are the Game Created Regions tasked with three holy puropses: 1) To bear the fruit of Holy Sovereign Individuals in the form of Sovereign Nations. 2) To nurture and protect those nations regardless of how they choose to play the game. 3) To maintain themselves without end by any means necessary.

Then the time of Chaos came with wars and rumours of wars. French Pirates and Farkers roamed the NSverse and the Game Created Regions were in turmoil. Into the chaos was birthed the Sovereign Nation Francos Spain who had an Idea. Francos Spain spoke his Idea to other Sovereign Nations and they gathered together in their home of birth and the Pacifc grew strong from this Idea. Other Sovereign Nations chose to build their own regions and they further chose to gather themselves together in an alliance to oppose Francos Spain's Idea. And there was again war that raged for years.

Then came the UN which served the great Max with a Cease and Desist order. Thus was born the WA.

And came the nightmare of NS2 which rippled a Jolt through the universe and swallowed souls. And Max saw that it was not good.

On it's heels came from outside the NSverse, CN, which devastated the population of Sovereign Nations and it came to pass that the Pacific was subverted to serve CN.

And Max commanded Admin to rise up and commanded the Code to come forth and Improvements were created. And the NSverse praises [violet].

I left out a couple bits.

I think we just found our author for the 'NS Bible'

[North East Somerset]

The Belgium invasion that then took trr used between 90 and 105 endorsements. I don't believe it was the largest ever as there were a few massive ones from in the old adn days but it was the largest seen in many many years.

The issue with counting that raid of Belgium is that it was all done via ejections. So it wasn't an update force.

I believe the Battle of Palestine was probably the largest "battle" ever, save Puppet Master.

Palestine being the largest battle ever is incorrect, and I've already answered that issue earlier in the thread here:

I guess you were too busy playing Cybernations for NPO when Rajahland and some of the others occurred though...

Another interesting thing about Osiris was that prior to the founding of it...sinks did not have a ban / eject button. Had that been the case in Osiris TITO would not have deployed as the region could have evolved naturally. The decision by game admin to add the ban / eject button played a major role in our reasoning for deploying.

Did ADMIN confirm that beforehand? Because I don't recall it being mentioned there would be a ban button?

[Frattastan II]

The admins were silent on the matter, but TITO had expressed fears about the presence of ejection powers before taking over.

[Zaolat]

So then Wordy should have said this then:

"The speculated possibility of game admin adding in the ban / eject button played a major role in our reasoning for deploying."

[Frattastan II]

If you think that adds essential and perspective-changing details to what she said.

[Zaolat]

I do; cause either ADMIN tipped them off, they guessed, or they're lying

I dug up the old thread about it : viewtopic.php?p=7372413#p7372413

[Letoilenoir]

This sounds likely, but looking at the code, bans don't cover refounding nations. They can be ejected & banned, but if they're refounded, they can come back anyway.

Maybe the code wasn't that way originally.

Does that apply only to bans in the sinkers or across the board?

Lies, he couldn't have been busy as the NPO do nothing in CN bar sit in peace mode a let their weak members get destroyed. Fun for the rest of us though.

Oh, dear. I wouldn't say such silly things.

2. Max or one of the game admins messing with us

Max or one of the game admins are always super serious.
