Also block jumping on the 'den did nothing wrong' train is as underwhelming as it is unsurprising, at least be original with your shit takes! Gimme a 'cora did nothing wrong' or 'wraith fin died for our sins'. This shit is just sad otherwise.

What about a 'anything that can be coded is legal'

I prefer a 'releasing a regional password cracker is totally legal'.

You’re right - the real DEN didn’t. TBR DEN was a hole of permissiveness for bad behavior and encouraged the use of Predator as well as urged members not to report their usage of it to the Mods the way they were instructed to by the Moderation team.

We can agree that the DEN of certain ages did nothing wrong in that vein.

I do not wish to communicate further with you, on this account or any other. Please do not seek to communicate with me on any account. I am blocking and foe’ing you on NationStates, and will report any further messages from you to the Moderation staff.

It’s really fucking cute how you try to play the sad little victim when just a couple months ago you were intentionally puppet wanking to get around blocks and foe lists. But I’m sure you’ll just claim that’s fake news too like the hypocrite you are, right?

Do you plan to copy and paste this message for the rest of your NationStates career?

From where I'm sitting, it looks like you're going to block and foe everyone who ever responds to you. Maybe we shouldn't.

Block II:

You were oh so close to evading a "Mods as Weapons" warning here, but then you had to tack on the bit about contacting moderation if the other posters did not perform X action.

As of yet, Kyrusia has not couped a Feeder. Was Propaganda Vizier of Osiris for a bit though

Nyet. And, unfortunately, no coup has, as of yet, been performed in the explicit honor of the Overgoat. sadface.png

Since we are nearing the end of a second decade in which NS has existed. Who are some gameplayers worthy of recognition over the last nearly 10 years?

That wasn’t a bad list until you named yourself, also too many GC people and raiders who really haven’t done much of interest.

Spartz/Wopruthien both need a mention for the ways they helped change r/d on different sides. BT and Wordy are the defenders that stand out but on the operational side Eluvatar, Vinny, Ravania and US of Vietnam probably deserve a mention.

Yuno me and Kawaii Schoolgirl of course! We made raiding kawaii! and cute too!

*high fives*
The Kawaii Empire was the most short-lived, but hilarious/funny/cute project

We came from opposite ends of NS, merged, started a raiding region, for a short time. Then we all split up again to 3 different places.

but outside of that project, we ALL did tons of raids as separate individuals (and tagged cute designs on all those raids)

So that was fun

See ya around

by **Drop Your Pants** » Sun Dec 29, 2019 3:33 am

I'd put Sedge on that list. His modship was seen as a disaster for raiders everywhere....little did they know defenders were more afraid of him :blush:

by **Block II** » Sun Dec 29, 2019 3:57 am

Sorry I didn’t add more defenders. I just don’t know them as well, because I kept to being a raider that claims GC as my eternal home. I’d also like to add that while I don’t particularly like a few of the people I mentioned, and I know even more don’t like me. I respect them all for how they have impacted the game in the last decade, for better or for worse.
