Hello, people.
In case you haven't made any deductions based on the forum title, we’re back for another edition from the 21st to the 23rd May, and we can't wait.
“But Aga, what is NSGE?”, I hear you all ask. Well, to put it simply: NSGE (known among the cooler kids as the NationStates Great Exhibition) is an organization designed to share the collective wisdom of NationStates on one platform, with regions also being able to open their own booths at the exhibitions so that we can all experience snippets of many regional cultures. You can read all of our archives of the past two NSGEs at our forums here.
We’re also making a few changes to how things work. They’re going to be fairly minor, but still large enough to make a difference:
- Previously, we’ve been really particular about encouraging regional booths, talks and events onto the forums, but with the advent of threads and me realizing after two years that things aren’t worth caring about in the grander scheme of things, regions will be allowed to run regional booths solely on discord, and although most things will be transcribed to the forums, some events will also take place on the NSGE Discord for this year.
- We’re going to be running more panels and Q+As - we have a few more than previous years.
- Overall, regional booths are going to be more relaxed. We’ve been quite uptight with them in the past but now as long as regions will promote NSGE in some way, they’re all invited to form a regional exhibition whenever.
If you want to give a talk, panel or Q+A then you’re free to telegram Agalaesia. We’re always looking for interesting people from all walks of NS to give talks, so please don’t hesitate to shout if you have anything you want to yell at the game in general.
Lastly, if you’re wanting to run a regional exhibit this year, please DM me (Aga#3979) on Discord and I can help you get set up.
Anyway, that’s it from me. I’ll be sure to see you on our Discord (here) and keep your ear trained for any announcements that might be coming your way about speakers and talks shortly.
