The
forum account of AFTER MAKING LUNCH VINNY shows as if ancient, though it was founded last month. There doesn't appear to be any record of a previous nation named AFTER MAKING LUNCH VINNY.

Clicking on the account brings me back to my own nation, not the boneyard. Is this normal?

Maybe the game saw what I made for lunch (Woolly Mammoth meat and Judean date palm fruit) and decided I didn't buy that at the grocery store in this millenium?

It seems that's happening because the link includes the Ancient tag, which the account doesn't actually have.
https://www.nationstates.net/nation=aft ... unch_vinnyThat's the valid link.

It's just a bug.
[v] has fixed something similar before. Your 'real' forum profile is the next number up:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1089880memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1089881Other cases of it happening (with Ballo fixing one of them), but it doesn't seem like the underlying bug was ever found.

There's a definite bug there. Not only does it say (Ancient) in the profile, it redirects to my nation when I tap on the nation in question.

It's the same bug listed in this thread. The "real" forum account is the next numbered one. As in:
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1112664 <---- Goofy account shows up for some reason
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=1112665 <--- Should be
I assume they just want us to post them when we see them until someone figures out why the forum and game aren't understanding one another on these.

The offending forum account has rejoined the ancient history to which it belongs, leaving only a trail in the moderator logs as evidence of its confusing travel to our time.
