The F+ Did A Podcast About NS

Postby Godless Munky » Mon Sep 26, 2016 8:35 pm

A dumb podcast I listen to that does episodes making fun of dumb websites and it's dumbest user's did a dumb episode on this dumb website.

https://thefpl.us/episode/228

Nation States is a game where players can create their own idealized version of a country, ally with other nations in the game, pass resolutions, and vie for supremacy. Separate from that, the forums of Nation States is a place where people post in character as emissaries from their fictitious countries to brag about their totalitarian regime and brag about which memes are the dankest. The results are infurating.

Did they mention me?
The United Colonies of Earth exists:
to bring about the settlement of all planets not yet inhabited by a sapient species within this Galaxy and Universe by the Human Race, or all members of the species Homo sapiens;
to ensure the observation and protection of the rights of all human beings;
to defend humankind from invasion, catastrophe, fraud and violence;
to represent the interests of humankind to the other governments of the Galaxy;
to facilitate the perpetuation of the unity of human civilization and infrastructure between otherwise self-governing colonies;
and to promote technological advancement and scientific discovery for the perpetuation and expansion of the unity and empowerment of all human beings.

Yeah not much commentary so much as Dramatic Readings of stuff cherry-picked for ridiculousness. I guess it's good for what it is(I liked the prioritizes as well as the Bernie impersonation nation name readings[so much that i made a left behind reference in the comment sections) but i expected something with more substance.

pyrocynical talked about NS too when a nation that bore his name came to light

tbh these don't matter unless they spur actual quality growth in site activity

Just to put it in perspective, the rate of new nations per hour is usually averaging around 60 or so, with fluctuations depending on the exact time of day. This evening, I'm guessing since about the time that podcast went live, the new nation spawn rate has spiked almost to 800 per hour. Right now it's tapered off to a "meager" just under 600 per hour.

If the trend follows that seen previously with the Reddit and Imgur floods, we'll see an upswing in activity (including an upswing in rulebreaking, see my earlier comment about nations with penises in their names/fields/flags and other such naughtiness,) that will taper back down to normal levels within about a week. How many of the newcomers stick around remains to be seen, but we can probably expect at least half of them to die off from inactivity in about a month, though some are bound to get pulled in and hang around as well. :P
