Oldest Active Nationstates

Postby Firestorm0901 » Fri Jul 15, 2011 9:56 am

So I was looking through some of my posts today and saw I was RP-ing with a lot of newer nations, less than 2 years old, and was wondering how many older nations are still active. (Old is 5 or More years.) Myself I am 7 years old and still remember when the World Assembly was the United N*tions. Figured I would make a thread where older nations could get together, share stories, and help each other with your own NS techniques.

There are many of us who were in the before times.

* There is actually a War on Christmas. But Christmas started it, with it's unparalleled aggression against the Thanksgiving Holiday, and now Christmas has seized much Lebensraum in November, and are pushing into October. The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania

Just because a nation is "new" doesn't mean the poster hasn't been around for a while.
And this thread would serve you better in the Gameplay forum, not General.

Yes, the times when the First Ones battled each other to see what would theory would rule: Order or Chaos. And then many of the First Ones went away.

Heh heh. I was so niave then. I am too embarrassed to recount them all. The most popular, though, was a UN stock exchange thing. I re-read it just a few months ago and shuddered. To think it almost reached quorum... Hopefully it was due to my campaigning skills and not people actually agreeing with it.
