We need to figure out if we're the game community which sees most moderator intervention.

I think the worst I ever saw was F7's Night of the Wombar, which I think got F7 briefly shut down, and lead to such fallout as is described here. Please, please don't let us get that far.

I don't know about that. NSG has had some massive moderator interventions.

I don't' frequent the forum much, so I can't recall many specifically, but I've seen >30 redtexts in one post.

Is this discussion on-topic, by the way?
If not we'll need a Moderation chat thread or something. :P

If only you really were.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

Yes, but of all the options, they pick the second most absurd in the lot?

Because the people who came up with Representative Democracy, the modern alphabet, the majority of our legal terminology, concrete, mass infrastructure, efficient civil service (in the western world) and lawsuits, among a bazillion other things are somehow tainted due to an association with TNI? Pretty sure TNI doesn't own Rome.

And I doubt the options were just Communist and Roman (which wasn't even what I was talking about).

They made their choice, that's their thing. More power to them. But why? :blink:

I go to look at their new communist theme, and of course the first thing I noticed was a few posts by Milograd on their RMB.

The initial draft of our constitution, and thus the government structure was crafted by myself, actually. :) Althoigh of course, one could only imagine how supportive Milo has been in i,llememting everything through out the process.


I think it's a different take. The structure is something fresh in NationStates, and that's always fun. In the many years that I have played this game I have not come accross anything of the same sort. (although there might have been, of course)
We don't expect everyone to like it, but it is true to the core of the game - the practice of an ideology.

Asking here as it seems to be the general thread, is there a dedicated thread to finding a region? I realize there are many region advertisements by people promoting theirs (and I don't wish to receive advertisements in response to this post), but I wondered if there were some kind of consolidated gameplay thread that enabled people who were looking for certain things not easily discerned from the "Region Tags" game mechanics feature to narrow down their options? I couldn't find any particular thread in the stickies or most viewed topics.

Thanks for any help offered.
