I was there when it was being conceived.

The things I saw...
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

Proof Challenges could be staying for a long time after the anniversary:

I've noticed that a few things there are a little broken (but not disastrously so), but I'm not sure if some of this stuff is disappearing soon, which would make the fixes kinda pointless to work into the theme.

The Challenge may wind up hanging around in some form, but the code is very messy, with lots of inline CSS (it was done in a hurry). If we keep it, I'll shift all that to stylesheets, where it would be easier for you to modify.

Je suis d'accord. NS a été, sera toujours beaucoup de plaisir. Excusez-moi si mon français est mal écrit, car je suis encore à apprendre la langue. Ma langue principale est l'anglais. Pas beaucoup de gens parlent français, donc vous pouvez avoir à utiliser un traducteur......


I hope I said that right.......

May I just say that I think NationStates is THE best government simulator on the Internet, and so does Google.

I'd be celebrating, but a great game that I also play (a lot more than NS) announced it was closing down yesterday, so I'll be spending the anniversary period saying my goodbyes over there.

Grats to the devs, and Max if he's still around :P
