I get the desire to help write down history. I also get that it is cool to be the person to lead a thread that one hopes to be valuable and have good buzz. But honestly, I personally feel like this is getting ridiculous, MM. These constant historical threads of yours show minimal work. You haven't been playing long so you have a disadvantage in knowing a lot of things that happened. So why not actually take the time and reach out to players personally and build something substantial before posting it? Otherwise, I suspect this thread will turn out like basically all of your other threads. A few posts before being forgotten. Honestly, it's just becoming spam at this point. The GP forum should not be treated like the GA/SC forum.

I would personally value much more a OP of a thread with a lot of information and citations. Like actual substantial research. To actually make a good GP timeline probably will take at least several months. So if you want the glory of being the OP who puts it together, actually do the work. I don't see how these threads are helping anyone otherwise.

I wouldn’t be as harsh about it, but I kind of agree with Jakker. There should be a lot more before this goes to the forum.

I have researched past GP, so I am going to see this project to the end. Also, I don't care about the glory. I just wish to help future GP understand it's roots. Lastly, my past projects have been abandoned because they were deemed "unneeded" by other players. I'd love it if you could provide some notable raiding events of the past. :)

I DMed you on Discord.

Faux, I posted it because I'd like the input of other players who could possibly help me on organizing this and adding more events.

If you actually want help, take the initiative and reach out to players. It just comes off as lazy if you post minimal info with the hope that others will put more for you.

Marilyn Manson Freaks wrote:Lastly, my past projects have been abandoned because they were deemed "unneeded" by other players.


Then I am going to assume that you actually reached out to players this time and got confirmation that a timeline is needed? If so, those players who said yes are a good place to start with.

Yes, I have reached out to other players. Also, I don't hope that others will put for me. I posted it early so I could brainstorm what to include and what not to. Well, I'm getting off now.

Why is the date of the creating of the NPO flag listed but the August revolution not, anyway?

To expand:
Lone Wolves United: 24 April, 2005
The Black Hawks: 2 July 2005
Unknown: 12 January 2009
Souce: All 3 regions RMBs
And I've been told that those are the 3 oldest raiding orgs still in existence.

Yep, I totally forgot those regions too.

Was it really that difficult to look up? Or would looking it up have taken more time than you spent on the rest of it together :P

I honestly don't understand why you're posting a work in progress when it needs a lot more progress, even things that would take just a couple hours, like finding dates of the August Revolution or the establishment of the Pan-Sinker Security Pact, dates for various other important treaties, coups, important delegacy changes... it seems like this was just done off the top of your head. If you want to make a significant project from this, it would really help to put a little more work and research in, because if you don't care enough to put in that work, why would other interested historians do that for you instead of putting work into their own timelines?

I have other things to do than this, and also, it's not that hard. Other historians don't have to do that for me.

I already have other things compiled in a personal Google Document that I'm going to place on here. I'll edit my post once I get even more dates. It was not done off the top of my head, :rofl:

If I knew all of this off the top of my head, I would already have a completed timeline.

This looks like something you could have put a lot more effort into before posting.

I'm in general agreement with Jakker on the topic.

Might want to add some things about UCRs, specifically, you should probably add TRE, Firehelm, Spirtitus, some other regions I can't think of... Good start, but needs work. HyCom should be on. TBR, Den, Predator, etc.

I'm currently trying to find the date DEN members were deleted for using Predator.

On the subject of UCRs, you should include Gatesville.

It's not particularly hard.
In this specific case you could:
a) search the NS forum for all topics in the GP subforum with 'Predator' in their title;
b) look at the RR population graph and see when there was a spike due to DEN and its related puppet dumps getting shut down;
c) look up in the Boneyard when any of the players who got puppetswept because of it ceased to exist.

Repeat with this or similar methods for other dates you're interested in. :P

All you had to do was look up "NationStates Predator Deletions" on google amd the first search result is correct. April 2, 2016

Coraxion was DOSed on March 18, 2016. Texasa was punished on May 31, 2016, and his appeal was granted July 1, 2016. Then, he eventually got DOSed anyway...

Okay, all these dates will be added tommorow, and I will add some other things.

Currently, I'm going to go out and celebrate a friend's birthday with him.
