2002?
That it existed?

There's another "playground" version of NS these days, but with some players allowed on it, we have to behave. Somewhat. The Pacific is a delegate-less wasteland with "Region cleared by moderators. Please do not attempt to reestablish this region." in the WFE (i.e. someone tested emptying it at some point), and there's a Warzone Osiris.

In the early days spotting was mostly done by europeans and insomniac americans though. The sane americans would spot the early invader movements and then hand over spotting to us euros up to and throughout the update. Major update (the only one which mattered) ran from ~8 am to 12 am GMT back then. Those were fun times.
@ Unibot; The connections between defenders from Belgium/Netherlands and ADN grew pretty early. Their NS worldview were rather similar.
I'm interested in hearing how you think the 'americanism' and 'europeanism' affected the defender groups you mentioned? Especially considering minor update wasn't a thing at the time several of them were active.

English translation: "Don't let the bastards grind you down."
It's an old army phrase that was adopted by the Regional Assembly after a public consultation. Pretty sure us rejects just like the fact the motto spells out something naughty in latin. *chuckles*

The mods already had tested what was being proposed, see Sedge's post at the bottom.
I do have a bit of a mystery for NS History geeks. I found a really quite lovely piece by Sarda for the Meritocratic Times on the Rise of the NPO. [1] [2] but the dates have me screwed up. My intial thought was that Sarda's article must have been in one of the "missing" issues (my guess was #5.)
Missing Issues -
#5
#10
#11
#13
#14
#15
(If anyone has any copies of the missing issues, forward them and I'll put them in the index of recovered Meritocratic Times issues.)
However, Sarda's article predates the first issue which has me scratching my head. The Meritocracy Times Issue #1 was written at the beginning of Unlimited's delegacy but in Sarda's article it's clear he's writing from before Francos Spain's departure. The other thing that is confusing is Sarda says he's no longer the editor of the Meritocracy Times by July 2004 - but he was the editor for the first three issues of the Meritocracy Times that have been archived. My guess is that previous to it's issue format, the Meritocracy Times published individual articles on subjects. If that's the case, I'd love to see if the articles could be found! The sources for the Meritocracy are quite limited: the Max Barry interview had to be recovered by Winni especially by request.

The minor guys were seen as very dedicated, very efficient - a smaller, professional unit - the major guys had to get the pom-poms out to get folks to do stuff, but could organize big liberations when need be. It was much more of "carnival" atmosphere in the channel at major when a mission was afoot.

I believe your dating problem stems from a possibly incorrect assumption regarding the date given to you by Winnipeg. He provided you with a copy of the Times from the nosync forum but that was not the original Meritocracy server. Several threads were copied from the original jink boards over to the new server.
