Wow, Lamoni is a full bird now!?! Well, we knew they would let anybody in when Jakker made Mod, it only makes sense Lamoni made Mod too. :o Man, it has been a long time eh Lamoni? Remember poor ol' B5Tech . That was a fine Texas Texas nation thanks to you. They have been dead a long time, but we sti...

Ill see if I can get NewTexas to make a post here in the thread. Sorry Len, we are going to pass on this discussion. Been here, done this, not doing it again. We know how it works, somebody declares " ad hominem '' or " e pluribus unum " or some such " BS " and the next thi...

Thank you for the confirmation [violet]!

* bites tongue about having to convert to compare 813 million to 12.81 billion *

We hope this is not grave digging, but we too would like to see usage of the term quadrillion instead of the current trend of a thousand trillion. That just doesn't seem to roll right. A precedent of using "billion" and "trillion" has already been set. Quadrillion is not a stretc...

Wow, that hit to Economic Freedom really did a number on us. We had no idea. Dagnabbit! We just saw a lot of "High" stats and did not think that was enough to drop us out of Anarchy. Thank you for sharing the Updated NS Graph. You have to excuse the old timer. We are still used to: NATIONS...

We have a question for the Issues Editors. Why does answering a purely Political Freedoms Issue affect a government form directly related to Civil Rights? We went from Anarchy down to Civil Rights Lovefest. We got ⇡3.6% on Political Freedom and ±0.0% on Civil Rights and thought we would have retaine...

Howdy [violet] ! Long time no-post. Kudos! Things are really clicking along well. Here is a question - any interest in turning our " astonishing 11,599 trillion Fajita Tacoes[sic] a year " GDP into " astonishing 11.59 quadrillion Fajita Tacoes[sic] a year "? (have to put in the ...

Pulling back on what Reppy (and others) have said above, can I get you to be more specific on what you'd like to see there in a perfect world? We start our with that quote because you asked for it. Everyone has been bitching and moaning over the last 3 years about the R/D game and how it is broken ...

Working well in Texas! (well, except the part about pushing the custom button and going to the Boneyard thing Misely reported, but that is fixable by selecting Modify after the nation has been appointed)



Thank you [violet]!

As an old timer, we checked some pre-NSHistory records and found that Killer Monkeys, Delegate of TSP, had 373 endorsements when they voted on a UN Resolution titled " UN Where did it go wrong? " on March 20, 2003. It was one of the first snafus in the UN when it just disappeared from the ...

Refactoring has introduced some new stats, such as GDP and average incomes. These will be added to the API shortly, but if you have any special requests, now is the time! Looks like you got a early jump on the new API by converting TAX from integer to decimal overnight. Um, thanks. http://i1.ifrm.c...

We are pretty sure we saw [violet] post somewhere we can no longer find just what the optimal custom banner sizes would be to accommodate the downsize that occurs. Can that be reposted here? Better yet, can there be a section on Banners be added to the Technical FAQ so everyone could find such infor...

Absolutely Love the new banners! So pretty! So many options! Wow! Nice job! Thank you!

How many did everyone get? The same number? We got 27...

Love the ubiquitous Custom #1 through Custom #5!



Thank you in advance [violet]!

We second that Kenny! Ditto not needing the flag.

WooHoo!

[violet], we can always tell when you change the API even if you do not post about it. We can almost guarantee our tool will break. It appears v4 converts all percentages in the feeds from integers to decimals. Interesting. What would be really nice is if you used actual numbers only (decimals or in...

There is another one with an invalid entity in the dump:

http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/api ... eitstiefel

"�" is not a valid entity

We are with Northrop-Grumman & Starrie on asking if this can be fixed.

History is alive and well at NSHistory with weekly extracts back to May, 2003. However, there were no dumps back then; all we came up with was scraping All Nations and All Regions . So, we have a whopping 3 columns of data on nations and 3 columns on regions. With the advent of the dumps, we keep a ...

Wish we could help Afforess, but we load the database and dump the dump. All we have is yesterday.

Image scaling, hmm, never thought of that. We will see what we can do.

Maybe we will even get really efficient and pull all the images into our system. Not sure if the database would be faster or the file system.

Thank you for the food for thought Ballo!

If you would like to see all the Flags of The World - Region Edition, we have that on our NSRegionFlag page. We have not done Nation flags because there are a lot. 57,468 nations (52.78%) use the 470 game issued flags. That means 51,650 nations have an uploaded flag. The most popular game-issued fla...

Thank you Fris!
