The Infamous Triple D.

Or alternatively, the 420 Fledgling Flood.

Triple F for the servers.

That's nothing. TNP was jumping by 100/day before this happened.

Which is a bit more than 4 nations an hour. Almost 10,000 new nations have been founded in the last 4 hours.

This may been a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I think that can only been seen a positive: when the game gets more exposure to different audiences. Whether it be through the Reddit booms or YouTube influencers stumbling upon it and showing it to their viewer base, I think that anytime the site has a chance to introduce new players to its brand of political simulation that has the potential to improve the health of the game.

Sure, it’ll mean the updates will run slow for the next few days to handle the influx of new nations being created, but if we get more NS players in the process then I’m cool with it. Some of them have already said that they think it’s cool, so the more we do to teach them about things around here the greater their experience playing will likely be.

Nobody really disagrees with you opinion. It’s just the lag and shock from so many new nations.

The lag brought a whole new dimension to raiding and defending. Now to make many puppets and put them in on a logon list to slow raiders

A message from the Government of Layem:

Yes we have had a shakey past, and with our refounding we have only showed acceptance to everyone of all religions and ethnicities, which we have always done, we have completely got rid of the usage of the "n word" as we did not use it for racial offense, but as another term for "loser" or "idiot".

We understand this was childish thinking, and we have drastically changed the way our discord and government operates on this kind of usage of foul language.

Also regarding the "anti semitic" remarks Tussia is talking about, he comes into our server full of majority Chrisitan nations, talking about how being a "Christian Jew" is the right way of thinking, and gloating how is "people" own the world and run all of the corporations. Basic flame baiting, and was mad when he was met with actual religious debate.

Now he wishes to join Layem again, but we denied him due to his childish and controversial past, so he goes around discord servers and apparently now the forums, to bad mouth the region. We will not be replying to any questions on this forum, you can DM our Supreme Chancellor or the CoFA. Thank you.

i agree. A new influx of players is not bad. It is just having a bunch of new people to meet and see how they make decisions.

Oh, I’m not saying that everyone will disagree with me or anything like that. More so, I’m saying that while some may see this as an inconvenience or a nuisance it doesn’t have to be that way. Of course, we’re bound to get a handful of troll-y nations who come here to shitpost and move on with their lives, but some of them may be good additions I think.

As far as lag and shock goes, it’ll just make updates more interesting for awhile

I do disagree. These people coming in are really edgy, and if they're going to act how they have acted (Having swastikas in flags, hard r n-word as nation names, etc) I don't want them here. I just hope they all forget about this game and CTE and the very few people who are actually worthwhile stay here.

200,000 nations! Almost 20,000 just today. And a 4 hour 15 minute long minor update. What a day

how do i default dance

What we must all do is challenge Deruuu (y’all know how that works yes?). I don’t know why.

Currently he has 122 losses and a 9% win rate, and interestingly he hasn't battled anyone at all himself.

I, on the other hand, am a nation only maybe 2% of the NS population can beat.

Glad I didn't log in earlier, although it's still kinda slow.

Not sure how a default dance is edgy, however it is a overused meme.

Drew for First Warden

I have to admit I'm quite surprised I haven't received any telegrams from viewers after being featured in this guy's video. Here I thought a horde had been unleashed upon me.

Then again, I have the defense forces to stop that... maybe it's what happened.

You'd have to move them between every update (probably need thousands) to actually impact us, and all to different regions more or less.
