I was wondering who would be the all time most famous, most notable NationStater. From Franco Spain to General Halycones, we have seen soe players who have made a mark on the game. But who is the most famous amoong the NationStates community.

So that's what happened to him.

A shame, he was funny and I liked him.

It's hard to say most famous of all time since famous NSers come and go. Most impartial way would be to compile a list of say 30 famous nations and distribute it to as many nations as possible. People then check off which ones they recognize.

My vote is probably Francos. Even after so many years his (wrong) ideas are still being debated today. Hell google will even instantly fill some searches related to his essay.

[violet] never was a player, only an admin. Uni is probably one of the more famous recent NSers, but there's 8 years or so of people would have never heard of him. Can't be the most famous of all time. Frak may be the most controversial...? Maybe? He's a footnote in the annals of history. Halc while a cool guy, gets credit for founding both TBH/TBR despite the fact that he ditched TBH and poached members from it. He's also one guy out of many raiders. Uni is lucky in the fact that in modern history, there are few defenders who have risen to his infamy. Thafoo is a nobody I've never heard of and Farn is Farn, I don't know too much about him to be honest and won't judge. Oh! And Blaat! He's an awesome guy and a great friend, he might have reached a high fame level if he didn't prefer being the quiet impartial guy who only revealed his true political leanings over pms.

In terms of GP, I'd say that Unibot and Francos Spain are the most famous. They also happen to be easily the most controversial. Funny how that works.

Francos Spain - so many of you have no idea who he is or what he's done, but you've still heard of him.

Eh, my goal was never to be famous.

But now I wonder what my true political leanings are :p

That said, most famous NSer is Maxtopia.

Most people are known for a while, then they at some point give up on this game and cease to exist, and cease to be talked about.
I think it's like that.

If we're talking about divair, it's most infamous in my book... He was generally pretty rude about people disagreeing with him, so I say infamous.

Either Nathi, or Blaat, or Violet. They make a nice group.

I don't recall him being rude, but maybe that's just my experience and all. Speaking of Divair, when and why did he leave, I never did find out?
