Yeah, we've had them now and again for the past several years. Primarily from crafty use of Imgur's algorithm to hit the front page a time or two, and a couple from Reddit posts that gained some traction. Typically they're briefly annoying due to setting off lag/screwing up everybody's update timing in R/D, but about a month after the spike the tide recedes as most of the new nations die off from inactivity. Not to say we don't benefit at all from it, because every spike does still leave some new players who find NS to their liking so they stick around.

Didn't Kleo make an imgur post around 2016/17 that created a rush of new nations?

I feel like laying out the defensive mines was a bad idea. Should I remove them in case children come across them?
