[Idea] National anthem

by **Archeuland and Baughistan** » Sun Sep 21, 2014 5:23 pm

I understand this idea is quite simplistic, but I think (I am quite possibly wrong) that it would be an interesting feature if we could type the name of the national anthem. We already have national animals, after all, so perhaps a national anthem could be an unlockable feature at, say, 200 million? Perhaps the user could mouse over the national anthem and it would have a large tooltip that displays the anthem's lyrics. Or perhaps one could link to a YouTube video by clicking on '@NATION@'s national anthem is @ANTHEM@'. Maybe it could link to a factbook entry or forum post.

Just a suggestion.

This idea has been shot down many times before. There are things called factbooks for a reason.

I like this idea

I'm pretty sure the mods and admins have stated that no more national info things will be added because you can just use your factbook to add them.

That leaves the possibility that one could ridiculously easily leave a link to inappropriate content in their 'anthem'.

Not even counting that mods / admins have shot this idea down numerous times before.

I agree with this idea, but think of the copyright!

As mentioned before, this would be what the factbooks are for. Also, if I'm not wrong, there aren't any issues that have references to national anthems.

Yeah. Tried, failed, the mods and Max don't want to deal with it again.

I would support it if we didnt have factbooks...

I guess everyone who supports doesn't care about this?: :roll:

Could be done in factbooks as well

You actually have to search for factbooks, and creating them takes more time and effort than just copy and pasting a URL.

"The national anthem of @@nation@@ is EXAMPLE OF EXAMPLE, a glorious song wrote by @@randomname@@ on @@randomdate@@ when he was feeling bored. He posted the song on Youtube before tweeting about it with the caption '#420blazeit #yoloswag #justinbeiber'

The techies won't make a description that long you know.

If you're thinking a feature to compose one with tunes etc, very funny. Not easy for a site like this.

If you mean just typing the lyrics, there is this fabulous NS feature called a f a c t b o o k
