What if the NSA used NS

[Ravenflight]

So I have been thinking about this for a while. What if some government agency were to use NS for 'counter-terrorism'. Do you think Max Barry and these people

would stand for that? Would you stand for that? What would happen? Yeah this isn't my longest intro ever but I'm interested in everyone's views.

[Regnum Dominae]

I don't think the NSA remotely even cares about NS.

[Ainin]

Do you think Max Barry and these people would stand for that?

Meh..

Would you stand for that?

Yeah, sure. This forum is public anyways.

What would happen?

Not much. Unless some Taliban warlord decided to make a NS nation.

[Hackleberry Islands]

Nothing much'd happen.

I mean if it ever happened. I doubt they care but it's interesting to think about.

[Kinitaria]

They do. Bonus points if you can figure out how the Freemasons and/or lizard people are helping them.

I offer an idea and I get a comment like that. Honestly if you we're in place how do you think that would make you feel.

[Dumb Ideologies]

They'd all end up in F7 and become really bad roleplayers who have to pretend to be three different people in the same conversation and have an abnormal degree of affection for dinosaurs.

You offer a borderline delusional idea and fail to get serious responses. Did this surprise you?

And no, the NSA will never use NS.

They've got that in II, I hear.

not so fast!
The NSA is incompetent, so the most likely answer is they already follow nations on NS who have Oil WMDs.

[Imma Spy]

Of course not! No self-respecting spy would create a NS nation.

[Yorkopolis]

We don't use NS, why would we.

EDIT: You ain't seen nothing!

[Sebtopiaris]

What would happen if Kim Jong-Un used NS?

[Nueo Soled]

You'll never got me! I'm going to Jupiter!
(Maybe some guy that works on NSA plays NS, sure, but spying on this harmless website? Nope.)

Whatever you're smoking or drinking, either stop or share it with the rest of us.

Seriously -- NS is not at all important, influential or even that well-known.

[The Medici Monarchy]

seeing as Julian Assange has said that governments aspire for god-like knowledge of each and every one of us, so if this is the case, the NSA is most likely spying on us. with that in mind......

TO THE NSA: KEEP YOUR NOSES OUT!!!!!!!!!

[Britanno]

Do you think Max Barry and these people would stand for that?

I doubt they'd care.

Would you stand for that?

I wouldn't care.

What would happen?

Nothing.

[Britanno]

What's your opinion?

[Absurrania]

What would happen if Kim Jong-Un used NS?

He would most likely singlehandedly start an NS World War, all within one reeeaallly long, reeaally offensive post. He would also win the prize for fastest anihhillated nation, and quickest nation to be banned from NS. Until he starts another account. Eventually, Max Barry would have to bar any IPs from the Koreas..

[Cameroi]

it is not unreasonable to assume they use everything. even hip forums. not unreasonable at all concidering what has been revealed they have been doing.

the internet is essentially a public space, and being public means that the reasonable assumption is that anyone and everyone can be listining in, and if/when security is a concern, the reasonable assumption is that they are.

so wavy hi to the nice people at the nsa, and continue trying to set a better example for them.
