thanks for posting this!

Why?

[New Spartzerina]

Let me know how I can link to something in the middle of a forum post...

Since they're in numerical order, scrolling down shouldn't be a problem, IMHO.

- Click on those; they're right above your post near where it states the poster and when it was posted. Then copy/paste the link that is now in the address bar. That is the link to the post.

How do you find out what issue number an issue is, but not through this thread but the game itself?

[Aeyariss]

Must be nice though if anyone can pin point which options alter our nations ranking to become better.

When you're reading an issue, the URL will be http://www.nationstates.net/page=show_dilemma/dilemma=###, where ### is the number of the issue.

Okay, that helps a lot, thanks

as well as using
@@RANDOMNAME@@ so I can see what it does

Are the Capital City, Religion and Leader issues Easter Eggs?

[Melki]

Are the Capital City, Religion and Leader issues Easter Eggs?

Yes. Look in the Easter Eggs thread.

[Blademasters765]

Are the Capital City, Religion and Leader issues Easter Eggs?

nope

they are unlocked at certain population achievements

[Kalasparata]

Are the Capital City, Religion and Leader issues Easter Eggs?

nope

they are unlocked at certain population achievements

But can you get them more than once?

They are easter eggs that are added to your pool after you reach a population. Since they are added to the pool, you can get them twice.

Er, no...I'm pretty sure if you select to have those options, the issue goes away, but if you choose not to have them, the issue can come around again if you ever change your mind.

No, you can get them twice. Ask a mod, they'll tell you. I keep getting Harry Potter Censorship Row although I chose an option.

This post goes through what all the issue macros do.

[Ballotonia]

This post goes through what all the issue macros do.

That's an incomplete list though. I encountered the ones mentioned above in issues, and had to give them macro names myself.

Mind you, I could always have made a mistake. The entire list is user-made and thus non-official anyway.


@@NAMEINITIALS@@ would, if a nation name is "Kalasparata" simply return "K". See the issues list how it is used:
... the @@NAMEINITIALS@@SOC (the @@NAME@@ Society of Compromisers).
The @@NAMEINITIALS@@NHS (@@NAME@@ National Health Service) is ...
So, in the example mentioned the abbreviations would end up as "KSOC" and "KNHS".

@@RANDOMNAME_REVERSED@@ takes a regular @@RANDOMNAME@@ and reverses the words letter by letter. Note capitalization stays at the left of the word. This is used in easter egg issue #80 to create an alien name. Thing is, since I do not have that issue handy on a nation, I cannot verify now whether it's a hardcoded name or a macro. I decided to add it in the list as a macro, just to be on the safe side.

Bluntly quoting my own post

Update: New Spartzerina posted a method to have links within posts. See: viewtopic.php?p=3208343#p3208343

Now that I know how to link to items within a post (since my question was never answered I figured it wasn't possible at all), I've updated all posts in the spoiler list so that the initial table consists of links to the text of each issue further down.

[Ballotonia]

I don't know the results to ones statistics, and this thread isn't the place for ANY discussion.

Suggestion: start a new thread.

Do I get two random issues each day, or does it go down the list sequentially ?
