The 2014 NationStates Time Capsule

[Zaolat]

We might have serious problems if our conversations were:

"TEP is best P! Politics of various kinds. Caek lel! Something disparaging about talk of subversives and agendas. Hail TEP awesomeness! Something about regional values and all that jazz. FISHFISHFISH! Randomly attributing our achievements to various factors in the name of diplomatic sincerity. Hail the loligarchy! Something witty or satirical.

/end conversation."

Not really.

This sounds disturbingly like 2009 "CHEESEBURGER TACOWAFFLES XD" language.

[The Blaatschapen]

It doesn't seem cool now either

Then maybe it'll be the cool-kid slang of the future!

Sure, but then it won't be used on NationStates

Introducing: The 2014 NationStates Time Capsule

Greetings NationStaters!

This month, NationStates is celebrating its twelfth anniversary on November 13th! In honour of this event, The Rejected Realms would like to invite you to send a telegram to this account (NationStates Time Capsule 2014) – it’s a kind of time capsule.

On November 13 2017, we’ll reopen this nation for the first time in three years and future players will be able to see what you had to say. Perhaps you’d like to share a story, a memory or a message with them.

We won’t login into this account again until then – so any further questions should instead be directed to The Rejected Realm’s delegate, Unibot III.

Thanks for reading!

So how about this? Paging TRR.

(Is this an acceptable gravedig?)

Pretty sure I submitted something. Wanna see how cringy it is

[Kylia Quilor]

Damn. I missed this.

[Midnight Indo]

I'm interested in reading the contents of the inbox

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Sent my first identity/nation.

Declassification of these files is on par with the JFK files.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

The account already is closed. We won't be logging again into it until Nov 2017. We're just going to let the nation naturally CTE.

Cool beans. Anyway, I sent a telegram with some intel stuff. Will be interesting to dig it up in 3 years time.

What hot intel did NES submit? It’s time for the world to know!

[Unibot III]

So how about this? Paging TRR.

They've already been paged. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembered.

[Abhichandra]

Should someone create The 2017 NationStates Time Capsule ?

[Unibot III]

Should someone create The 2017 NationStates Time Capsule ?

I'm sure TRR has some plans.

[The Church of Satan]

I'll take care of this when I get home from work in about an hour (give or take.) So happy y'all remembered though!

[The Noble Thatcherites]

I think there's a service out there that lets you send emails to yourself in the future. For the next one (if there's a next one), you could send a reminder to your future self and attach the password too.

It's too big to post here and posting it in small portions won't work for some reason so I uploaded it to dropbox as a PDF. There really are some gems in here!

I'll be honest, I didn't read them all, but the ones I did were pretty funny ! The time capsule thing is really cool.

[Consular]

pdf is such a disgusting format but thanks

[Consular]

Some random thoughts:

1. All the predictions that the R/D changes would never happen were, as was very predictable, completely true.

2. Nephmir's revelation was as uninteresting as we all knew it would be.

3. classic bodobol.

4. How's that being Emperor thing working out for you, Feux?

5. Funk's thoughts about Lazarus were amusing in an ironic sort of way.

6. I like the Skeleton Horde.

7. I do not like recruitment telegrams.

8. NES is such a fucking tease omg.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Thoughts:

I was going to start with "hey those regions recruiting all seemed to have done well over the years!" but then I realized that those are all new since the nation was refounded.

Moving on.

Some roleplay stuff and random comments...

The nation "merviengrad" does not exist.

Kyorgia is indeed still playing. Probably spells better now too.

Ebola did not kill the world. It mostly stayed in Africa.

Now on NSWF6 instead of NSWF3.

Funkadelia is still around. Also still in Laz. Just not the PRL. Not really devoted to Taijitu anymore, pretty sure

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=ued is still here!

https://www.nationstates.net/nation=miggaria is also still here!

Oh dear, Usual People in Life wrote a whole bio...

The nation "imahobo" may not exist, but they were close - iPhone X, not the iPhone IX. I'd telegram you if I could, dude.

Ima stop linking nations who were super hopeful about seeing this in three years that are long-gone. Making me sad.

"I hope swag doesn't exist then" Sorry for the bad news....#swag

Lol, sayonara TBR.

...That's a good mario

4/20 and Doritos are indeed still relevant.

Vexotopia is long dead. His hate and disgust for NationStates and Mike remain, forever preserved,

Speaking of mike...Hey Mike! You are still the delegate of NationStates!

...I lied. The nation "germani" does not exist. Rest in Peace.

Damnit! The nation "arthalea" does not exist. I want to know how their long distance love story ended....

"I predict that some NS r/d game proposals will still remain unfinished." hahahaha

Bodobol, there are still Beatles fans, time to move to the moon.

Rom, you're still here ;P

Sorry, Evil Lord Sauron, raiding still exists.

Oh, fuck, there's mine. Yes, no idea, nope, I'm up at 1am reading this so not bad, unfortunately, ha, hell if I know, nope sailing is superior, hahahah no.

Did our plan with Unibot to turn the GCRs defender work yet?



Wordy nailed "summit changes ded"

I will be Emperor

Hey Syl, still kickin'!

Dali did not get condemned, AFAIK. He's CTE for 40 days too

Screw you, NES! A winky face is all I get for scrolling all the way to the bottom of this?!?!?!

Heh, Cormac recruiting for Camelot.

Yes
Depends on who you ask.
Ha no.
Ha no.
Ha no.
?

I tg'd a few folks in there, and poked more than a few others offsite too This was fun!

[Merconitonitopia]

looks like a few recruitment telegrams are finally paying off after 3 years.

3 years 3 days ago No matter what happens between November 11 , 2014 , and the time you open this telegram , don't ever lose hope and give into despair. Even if the world has gone to hell and people are dieing at a very high rate , or everyone is starving because there isnt enough food fo such a high population, there will always be hope and you need to find it and keep it.

Pre-President Trump optimism.

If this is reopened in 2017 I would like to say Long live Independent Scotland, Catalonia and Brabant and welcome to the EU Morocco and Turkey.

Well this is awkward.

It's amazing to me how many people actually did respond. We didn't really advertise the capsule all that well. The responses are like 80% hilarious garbage, 20% heartbreaking. That's NS for you.

At least I am independent.

I never thought for one second Raiding would disappear. I just hoped that we might have more consensual r/d. I pretty much had the same thoughts as Wordy, who absolutely nailed it as usual.

I didn't catch the NES one. I'll have to go see if I can find it. There are a couple of gems in there, but that PDF format is dreadful.

Consensual R/D may not have come around just yet, but everything else is still very relevant.
