Awesome/Funny NS quotes (not your own quotes, please)

[United Marxist Nations]

I would have put Arch on mine too, but he posts so little

Well Arch is essentially NSG's Gandalf (which I say with the utmost respect, since Gandalf is awesome). Gone for long journeys to search for long lost knowledge who is beloved by all.

Still waiting for Arch to come back as a Senior Mod.

We have ICBM nuclear missiles. You fire missiles at us, and I will nuke you back to the iron age.

Well, sure, but guess who has more nukes?

Though I suppose that it doesn't really matter after the first hundred or so.

I wonder how long it will take for Reagan to nuke Brazil. He must be consulting with the jelly bean gods right now...

This is from the OOC of an rp where Ronald Reagan declares himself Emperor of America and marries a jellybean on live television.

[Idzequitch]

And finally....

Having a Ph.D doesn't make you a genius in all fields.

But... but... but....

Making a mod's eyes well up with bitter tears of disillusionment isn't actionable - but is it necessarily wise?

Next you'll be telling me that there's no Easter Bunny.

Alan Turing is spinning in his grave.

To this day no-one understands why he chose to be buried inside a washing machine.

[Geilinor]

Some great wisdom here:

The greatest challenge is not a lack of resources, or natural disasters. We are smart and resilient enough to deal with anything. Our real problem is our psychology: we are selfish, short-sighted, superstitious, and fiercely tribalistic. That's why there are still poor people even though we have the means to give everyone a good life. That's why we still have wars, and all sorts of oppression and inequality. That's why we're not dealing with climate change. We are wasting our resources, and jeopardising our future, on our insignificant squabbles.

[The Princes of the Universe]

Orson Welles had sequels to the War of the Worlds in mind?

Yes. They were discovered by the writers of a show and they tried to get the network to adopt it. Unfortunately, it was dumbed down, and thus, we ended up with Jersey Shore.

Thank you for boosting my ego to new highs.

[MERIZoC]

Apparently that's only when counting second-language speakers. But we need not get into that all.

Still counts in my book. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if it was the lingua franca in the city.

New Brunswick is around 30% French too, iirc.

Yep and everyone gets along eh okay.

Quoted for puns.

Thank you, Furry Alairia and Algeria!

On a lighter note, I would like to complain about the current tournament results over the last few matchdays:

Spain 1 - 2 Slovakia
Poland 2 - 0 Germany
Iceland 2 - 0 Netherlands
Greece 0 - 2 Northern Ireland
Germany 1 - 1 Ireland
Russia 1 - 1 Moldova

I also see that Wales are currently topping their group while the current World Champions are in fourth in another group.

While I appreciate that Margaret is an unpredictable whore, surely these results indicate that random is being given too much emphasis in the present tournament over rank and roleplay (I particularly like Gibraltar's current RP theme, where he claims to be playing on a precipitous rock where every team has to play on a cramped artificial turf pitch; wacky!).

I would therefore like to ask that the hosts take a look at their scorinator to see if they need to re-balance these factors.

Only will be funny to those of you familiar with scorination and NS Sports.

Reconstruct it. Because I hate links.

Alright that's enough NS for one day. I'm off.

Quitter.

Sometimes you gotta take a break from NS, we need sleep to survive still.

[Geilinor]

so then what'll they rename SYRIZA to, now that coalition of the radical left doesn't quite fit the bill?

Also KKE all the way I can see their tag line now
"KKE: well, who's left?"

Prehaps SYRIZA and KKE will merge to form a new party.....IKEA!

[Geilinor]

anything republican-esque is running further and further to the wackadoodle right with no end in sight. The right can be intelligent but they've chosen not to be.

Can you imagine going back to 1864 or 1865 and telling President Lincoln about the evolution of his party? He'd lean over to his secretaries, Hay or Nicholay, and whisper, 'This man is a lunatic. Call for the police, gentlemen, but quietly, quietly,' and then proceed to tell you some long story to distract you. And as they carry you off, you yell, 'That American Cousin play sucks! Don't go!'

From: How to lower civil rights?

Write down "Civil Rights" on a sheet of paper. Bury it six feet underground. Cover it.

Congratulations. You just lowered civil rights.

How I feel when a mod responds to something I said.

So true.

[The Princes of the Universe]

Well done!

After extensive research, I have developed a hypothesis as to the events immediately following the collision of two Moderaton atoms.

Moderaton (Mod) is a heavy element easily distinguished from common NationStates substances, particularly due to its bright red hue and tendency to emit high-energy particles capable of damaging or even destroying lighter atoms. Moderaton is not to be conflated with Adminium (Ad), a very heavy element capable of annihilating even stronger elements.

Due to its rare nature, Moderaton naturally appears as one lone atom, diligently observing other atoms and properly ejecting exotic subatomic particles known as Wharn and Bann particles, respectively named after Peter Wharn and Elizabeth Bann, who have spent the last several decades confirming the nature of rare NationStates elements. However, Moderaton atoms occasionally pass nearby one another, forming weak bonds and then flinging away from each other on their paths to observe the universe. Were two Moderaton atoms to collide, these bonds could last longer or even become permanent, creating a new molecule unheard of in the NationStates universe.

The nature of this molecule is unclear. Perhaps it would serve as a stabilizing force in our universe, allowing for homeostasis to become a more realistic possibility. Perhaps it would be dangerous and decay, releasing unprecedented quantities of Wharn and Bann particles, plunging NationStates into a new dark age. We can only hope that such a collision is unlikely and that our imperfect existence may be maintained by the forces of solitary Moderaton atoms.

From the same conversation:

Is that

when the doves cry?

Dig if you will the picture
Of Farn and I both hitting submit
We decide if to hand out a warning
Can you my Ethel,
Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a forum
An ocean of posting in bloom
Trump fan boys strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat of a warning sent through

Now we will just leave you standing
Alone in a thread that's so cold. (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe Farn's just like her mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we mod like each other?

This is what it sounds like
When mods collide

[Charlia]

Yes, Sage actually just jumped on Dremo.

XD

Best way to start an interaction. 90/10.

I was both flattered and amused by this.

Thanks for quoting this, I was going to when I got on a puter. This is my favorite post so far this year.

I found this amusing.

They're getting their arguments ready now, and then spending the mandatory 5 seconds thinking them through. Rumour has it some of them may even be attempting to apply the unorthodox strategy of coming equipped with an understanding of trans issues and the process of gender transition, though we have yet to see any hard evidence of this.
