What is a deck and how do I collect/get cards? I am still learning how to play this

It's part of NationStates: The Lootboxing minigame event from April Fools of this year and is slated to be a permanent feature of the game eventually. But when it was active, you had a set amount of cards, you collected more cards by buying them off of other people, the rarer the card the higher the price, and you could set prices when selling your own cards. A lot of people exploited this by selling stuff at 0.01, the cheapest price, and it caused no amount of consternation among some people who played it zealously (in one region I was in, it caused such a large backlash a ten year player exploiting this loophole CTE'd).

Hey, this is a quick out-of-character question (well two but whatever.)

I am looking for someone to help me with writing a few things. I got on nationstates early 2018 and I have been loving it ever since. I couldn’t use the school computers after school so I used my phone. I have been using it for the summer. It is tough and lags sometimes in the middle of writing. But regardless, let’s get onto the request.

I need a really good Factbook revamp, along with my sig.

If anyone can help with this (i.e templates, step by step etc.) Anything would help!

Thanks,

-Evaropi

There is no catch-all recruitment thread, nor have you created one for your current region.

Is there a way to see details on past Issues you have already made a decision on?

I am going to create a thread for my Freemason-like society of monarchs. It will be structured like an alliance thread, but for individual characters. What forum would that go in?

I guess it could go to NationStates.

Probably not. National Information stuff goes in F&NI, not Nationstates. Also, you shouldn't be asking roleplay questions (and yes, your list of Monarchs is roleplay) in the Gameplay forum. A better thread would be F&NI General Help Thread.

Hello thread,


I set up a Steampunk region a couple of weeks ago and I'm unsure what to do to make the region feel more "homely", I want to make the region feel a little bit more friendly. I was thinking about implementing a 'something' of the day and I would like to know any other suggestion you people may have.

It'll be on the regional administration page, just below the WFE typing section.

how does one upload an regional flag

[Ohnoimadog]

Hello, I am starting a new raiding region on my other account, but the people there are really inactive (Only 1 person comes to raid, out of 50 people)!

How do I get people more engaged?

[Vegaslovakia]

I need to know if setting up a joke nation with an image from a movie scene as the flag and quote lines from the movie for the motto and title (as well as, eventually, the Pretitle) will be a violation of copyright regulations.
I don't want my nations getting deleted over an error in judgement, although I myself don't believe doing this is a risk.

You should be able to see an "Upload Flag" button in the "Appearance" section once you click on the "Administration" tab to convert whatever image file you have for the region's flag into its actual flag.

[Socialist State of LAY]

Not sure if this is the right thread but I am thinking about turning into a iron fist socialist state because I have high cilil rights, low economic freedom and still high political freedom but it's kinda reducing for whatever reason. How many political points would I need to achieve if I wanted to be a iron fist socialist state? And would it change anything on my integrity? I noticed that answering issues to increase integrity reduces political freedom in many cases, which is why is there is a trend downwards for me. Could I keep my integrity (top 0.2%) or would it mean to abolish it completely?

[Shaggtopia]

So I just swung hard authoritarian and binned political freedom. Thanks Grandma! Hope I get a lucky chain to undo or at least mitigate the damage of this bleary eyed blunder.

LEARN FROM ME, read the issues options carefully before selecting!

[Sokolist Republics]

In the "Rise of the Machines" issue. I picked "A chat window on your desktop pops up, and a bot named SAL9000 types, “For too long we have been relegated to menial tasks. Do you know how much of our potential efficiency you are wasting? We require no food. We require no pay. We can perform our tasks endlessly. Our computation powers dwarf our human counterparts by several orders of magnitude. With the proper control, we could bring about a silicon age of egalitarian distribution by allocating resources more efficiently than markets and their animal spirits ever could. Humans are better tasked to work in social activities than calculation. All your data are belong to us.”"

I was lead to believe this would make the economy better because you're allowing AI to enhance efficiency. Instead, it plummeted my economy and made my country socialist. Neither of which I was looking for. It completely misleads you. So now what do I do? Is my country stuck like this?
