Drew is CTEing

[Drew Durrnil]

Why did you make a thread for this, exactly?

I wanted to tell everyone that Drew is CTEing and I wanted to see the opinions of other nations. Also, I made a mistake, there has to be 28 full days until Drew CTE's. There will be another 24 hours until Drew CTE"s.
Drew has officially been active for 28 days but is still not gone yet, though his fans are already CTEing.

I don't think anyone else besides his dwindling number of fans on here actually cares.

You must care enough to comment on this thread.

Commenting to confirm a negative response to a question posed by the OP? No, not really.

Aww crap, there goes some of the Stat badges I got.

I will say, while the die-off has been noticeable, it has not so far been as drastic a die-off as I would have expected given how much the first spike ballooned the population. Granted, with the one-two punch of the first video followed by a second one a week or so later, we probably won't have a very accurate picture of the final die-off for a couple more weeks. But it may also be possible that the second video prolonging the population boom could also increase retention rate; instead of "one login and done", the followup video may have encouraged more newcomers to poke around long enough for the game to get its hooks into them.

Also, our new nation rate is still slightly elevated above normal compared to before the first video. Not outrageously so, maybe like 1.2x to 1.5x normal depending on the time of day, but it is still above average more than a month after the Drewpocalypse began.

I think that the increased new nation rate might just stay around that 1.2-1.5x range for a while longer, then slowly start reverting to normal the longer the two videos have been out. But I also think that where the new nations moved to might have something to do with the retention rates. Some regions have done a pretty good job at keeping their Drewspawn members active.

Drew is going to CTE today. What do you think will be the impacts of this event?

Who?

Who? Drew! Drew, that's who. Drew drew new players to play in this zoo. Is it true that you had no clue? I thought you knew too that Drew pulled this coup. It screwed up the game for an update or two.

I also hadn't heard of him until all this started. He is someone the kids like. Yeah, I don't get it either.

I'm glad my region (Karma) was smart and didn't recruit during the Drewpocalypse. We won't be hit near as hard once Drew and those who joined NS to CTE after him.

Had heard of him pre-Drewpocalypse. I quickly fell out of favour with his content because he stopped the Civilisation series. I stayed just a bit for his HOI4 series, then just stopped watching him after he stopped most of those. Only until the Drewpocalypse began I started watching him again. He did do another Civ episode, so maybe I'll watch that.

IT HAS HAPPENED. Drew officially CTE. This marks a new era in the history of NationStates.

I don't know about 'new era' though we may see the impacts of the videos through the actions of the people who have stuck around for the next x amount of time.

I saw him playing a different nation sim a few weeks ago, he probably switched to that.

[Drew Durrnil]

No, he's too dumb to understand that nation sim.

Lol. No.

I think that the feeder regions' power will decrease, mainly because Drew's fans almost entirely remained in the feeder regions. I noticed that there was a lot of debate in my home region of Lorania about whether people were not interested in the region, or were simply leaving NS (because every other region had that same problem). Maybe some might stick around due to lockdowns, being bored, summer holidays etc.
