You lead a blessed life.

They weren't very interested in joining the site, but there were a few dinner table discussions that started from "So I was reading this topic on NationStates and someone brought up X...." -- Later on they determined that I was spending too much time on the site, and I had access limited to weekends and days when I'd finished my homework and the like. Even later on, when I grew bored and stopped spending so much time anyway (shortly before graduating from high school in 2007), they more or less forgot about the site altogether.

I was also introduced to the game by a friend, but the friend no longer plays that I know of and, in fact, I've lost touch with him.

I suppose most people just aren't really interested in nation simulation games. Not really surprising, that.

Wow, they must be really proud you're a Mod now, "See Mom, and you said it would never lead to anything"

"We're very happy that you have found this Moderating thing which you find satisfying. We feel so silly now, for trying to push you into Medicine. I'm sure you know best what to do with your life, dear.

I don't suppose we'll be hearing the pattering of little feet any time soon?"

i don't know if mine really noticed or cared. she never said anything about it.
i dragged her to a furry con once and she dragged me back for many more.
but she never really got all that much into computers as a social fun thing, or that much at all for that matter. she only wanted to play bizdroid on them, but she expected me to do all the computer stuff for her instead of being willing to learn any of it herself. she did eventually get herself and e-mail addy, but that was about it.

different people psycho-unintentionally set up different artificial barriers in their minds.
mine is against bizdroidism. her's, i'm not sure, but i think she may have found the internet intimidating. that or just not that interesting to her.

No, it's genetic.

Somewhere in NSG, LG's offspring are posting.

My SO knows. We discuss politics and religion, some of which are sparked by something on here. Usually along the lines of "You won't believe the shite I read on NSG..."

My GF/Common law wife whichever you want to refer to her as was reading over my shoulder while I was on yesterday causing her to ask about this. I was annoyed because I hate when people read over my shoulder but after 10 mins of nagging and not leaving while I was on I told her a bit about it, she just went downstairs and turned on the TV -.-

That reminds me of another NS couple, but I can't remember who it was. A guy from the UK and ... someone. Maybe Pure Metal?! Not sure

Nerdy and amusing, that's the same response I got. Plus the concern about time online, considering it's exam season

Yup, he's a member; no we're not married. We're dating though!

Too obvious.

Good... good. Now that we have the OP on our side we can begin the real fun.

The fun part is we haven't been particularly secretive or subtle about it, either. :rofl:

I dunno... if it looks like there could be a great deal of fun to be had in keeping it a mystery, I might conspire with him to string everyone along! :twisted:

The current lady in my life asked me what it was and what it was about. She laughed when I told her about the theme of nation and was glad I am not really like that. She likes to read my RPs in the sports forum sometimes though.

Like, totally quoted the wrong post.

Your holiness, please do not deceive those who been so loyal to the teachings of Max and have not yet earned the ire of the almighty mod squad.

One problem I see is that it's the most public thing since John Lennon and Yoko Ono had their bed-in.

Whether the three dozen or so people who know would tell anyone else remains questionable, but still...
