Of course that's just for Z-Day, though it would be amusing if the person who most of the puppets belonged to left them in :p
Now if you'll excuse me, I should go double the population of The Local Cluster in preparation for the same

You're welcome to go pursue their RMB where they specifically chat about knocking us out of the top 20 :P

It's k' though, we can get back into the top 20 a lot easier than they can get their 2989 day delegacy back.

bruh, I'm in Forest and one of the Z-Day leaders. I know how and why we grew so large. It wasn't about knocking y'all out. It was more a happy accident than anything 8)

Mmm. Some of your members seem a wee bit more excited about that "happy accident" than the event itself, Mr. Bob Ross.

Why shouldn't they be amused at the accidental result of their Z-Day puppet pump? My puppet boosting of Spiritus for Z-Day put us back above LKE in the population standings, and we found plenty of satisfaction from that too.

Anyways, don't let this diversion distract you from the fact that Moneyness used a dirty puppet to report someone for the same exact stuff he himself said.

Pretty much everyone here reports people for things they do, if they report at all. Scratch a Gameplayer, find a hypocrite.

Member singular, even if it is the founder. Still though, I fail to see the big deal :p

Sure, we report each other for things of similar nature. What I found amusing here was that Money specifically went out of his way to use an anonymous nation, even though it was ridiculously easy to identify after the fact, and reported someone not just for similar content but for a near-identical parodying of his own remark.

Sometimes for good reason, and otherwise not. Happens in NS General over real-life politics too, as things can get heated, even if those involved aren't trying to make the conversation end up that way. There is Discord for more intense Gameplay chats though, so you don't need to always visit here, unlike in earlier days where there was only basic IRC, Messenger, and Skype.

Sounds like someone is awfully sensitive about their nation count. Or they just need better reading glasses.

It was merely amusing before, but since you've gotten so upset about it it's rapidly becoming hiliarious.

Amusing to you. To many of us, this entire line of petty discussion in a thread that is usually light-hearted, friendly, and casual is annoying, not amusing.

If we could not make Neutral Ground as toxic as the rest of Gameplay, that would be great.
