It is acceptable to have human as a national animal. It's any subset of humanity that we don't allow.

Slow, I'm afraid. I'm in the midst of my last university semester which will be quickly followed by being married. I simply haven't been able to devote much time to NationStates at all. I'm planning on putting a new issue in tonight though so I hope that helps!

Some of these fields can't be changed until your population is big enough. After 1 billion, you'll be eligible for everything.

Hello there, sorry for the delay in reply.

No, there is no macro for plurals, I just stick an /s/ on the end:

An @@ANIMAL@@ in the hand is worth two @@ANIMAL@@s in the bush.

I've gots me a university degree to earn and a wedding to arrange.

I'll do it at some point.

If everyone on board had a bomb to defend themselves then no one would get hurt.

Think before you post, man.

I got engaged.

Issues are assigned randomly. Just because you're valid for that issue doesn't mean you're invalid for all the rest. It's not a bug, the issue will appear soon. How soon is a matter of chance.

Congratulations! That one is exceptionally difficult to get.

Knock it off everyone.

It'll be a while before I see any recently-submitted issues because I haven't worked my way through the current backlog yet. Could be a number of months before I see it.

I've changed the title because it was bugging the hell out of me.

Hmm... since the NS2 YouTube thing fell through, how would everyone feel if we started up a new competition where the winner (judged by the mods? By vote?) gets a custom user title or something? Might be fun.

Ah right, When gladiators entered the arena they would salute the emperor before doing battle as a mark of respect. They would say "Morituri te salutamus" -this translates as "We who are about to die salute/greet you". Salute works a bit better. I think the actual quote is someth...

I got an A in Higher Classical Studies, alright?

Geez, people, it's not like these issues are cryptic riddles - the options are very clear about what they do.

I'd kinda like a cool new banner for my blog. Can you describe what "a cool new banner" looks like? Thank you. Something which says Sirocco's Blog on it and maybe incorporates the hippo motif. Beyond that I'll be pleased with just about anything. Is OK? http://i779.photobucket.com/albums/...

I know what you're asking. Go ahead, I don't mind.

I'm still up for a banner for my blog if anyone's interested.

The nation restoration counter's broken too, I note. I definitely didn't only restore one nation. Ah, well. I'd also like to give a shout-out to the issue editors (Kandarin, Responsible, and Glen-Rhodes) who've been contributing to my issues score as well. Responsible: 4 issues Kandarin: 1 issue Gle...

NationStates is all about discussing matters that some people may find sensitive, offensive, or downright unmentionable. This includes hearing the opinions of people who disagree with you. If you can't handle that, then it's time to find another nation simulator I'm afraid.

I'll look into it later.

EDIT: I see no irregularities with the code.

No.

Thread title changed due to shittiness.

Looks like Melkor's got a lid on things. Let us know if any rules are actually broken.
