I'm pretty new and did come from his video (the first one), and while I do think that the slowdown of the game is a problem, I'm also disappointed by the amount of people on here who think it's the end of the world and want nothing to do with the newer players. There are some people, like me, who want to actually play the game, and people's pretentious and obnoxious postings are probably going to turn even the people with the best intentions away. Drew didn't want to break the game, he just wanted to play something new that was similar to what he did on his channel. Just let up with the complaining about the game being ruined...it's not helping anything.

Sincerely,
A noob

I’m pretty sure Drew is benefiting a lot from this. Suddenly, he has thousands of NS players watching his videos, because he broke the site, which otherwise he wouldn’t get. I’m thinking that this is a sensible move from him, because either way, a view is a view. If I were him, if I’m losing views, I’d just do a panic break-NS thing. It’s a great thing to fall back on.

If TCM got one it would certainly be a mark of pride, although I don't know if a nation can be condemned if they aren't in the WA.

I'll admit, I was one of the people to join NationStates as a result of seeing Drew's (first) video about the game. I used to play this game a few years ago, but after a while I guess I got caught up with other things and completely forgot about NS.

Getting reminded of the game was nice though. I still remember my previous two countries from years ago. They're long gone now, though. Shame.

Haven't read up on WA rules, so I'm not 100% sure, but I'm gonna say maybe.

Just a really crazy thought, and please don’t do this as I’m not saying you should. But, what if the roles were reversed and all the NSers broke Drew’s comments by mass posting. Would YT break? Or is NS just more intricate?

I highly doubt that this was a ploy for views. The only NationStates players that know about this are World Assembly members and forum users. And that Venn diagram is close to a circle. He barely even understands whats going on the second video.
