Easter Egg?

Postby Melki » Tue Jun 22, 2010 9:20 am

In the issue 'Jolly Roger Sighted Off The Port Bow!' the buttons to choose your position say "YARR!" and the Dismiss button says some kind of pirate gibberish. What is this?

I wish I remember who wrote:Games like Nationstates are like a big cardboard box, and there are two kinds of people in the world. The kind who look at the empty void inside the box and ask "Where the hell is it?" and the kind who jump into the box with their friends and make it into a fort, or a spaceship.

Though it isn't [Untranslatable version of the indefinite article: "an"] Easter Egg Issue, it's (lit. there is) a good Easter Egg of a different kind, mate
Author of Issues:
#273: Is our children learning?
#310: Too Little Talk?
#315: Creative Flowers Withering Under Legislation
#324 "Tourism Tanking" Tells Tabloids
#334: Blot Out Bauhaus
#340: Defending Patent Pending
#365: A Busload of Worry

None at present

If I offer criticism on your proposed issue, I will often write in red: don't think I'm being aggressive, it's just a convention I use!
If I ask a question on a proposed issue thread, then it's because I feel it's one you need to ask of your issue: I'm being Socratic and/or lazy.

It's like that because it's the 200th (or was it 300th?) issue. Even if the numbering got boned somewhere along the line.
Now the stars they are all angled wrong,
And the sun and the moon refuse to burn.

In a demon's hand:

Oh! So the one's on a special number (Like 50, 100, 150, 200 or so) are special checkpoint issues or something?

We don't have 300 issues yet :p

It's listed as: #201: Jolly Roger Sighted Off The Port Bow! [I V Stalin; ed:Sirocco]

While its index number is 201, it was the 200th issue. That's because indexing starts at 0, and issue indexes #132 and #134 ended up skipped due to a technical error (issues ended up as duplicate in the list). So, #201 + 1 - 2 = the 200th issue.
