And no, the NSA will never use NS.

WE FOUND HIM! THEY'RE ALREADY HERE! *points accusatory finger at Vistany*

I'll sue you for slander! Nobody can escape the wrath of National Security!

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.

What do you mean "what if"? :twisted:

Pythagosaurus is one of the admins.

Just sayin'.

Before anyone freaks out, he doesn't roleplay on here, so this is still far from the truth

For this, it would require NSG to be important enough for them to bother watching. And as this is a public forum, why would they be able to glean anything of any real use from here? I really couldn't care if they did.

Pretty sure they monitor NS, too.

I don't exactly care. They can't touch me, and I doubt they care about a tiny little Star Wars RP in P2TM...

There's no doubt the NSA monitors NS. Why wouldn't they?

That's what they said about WoW.

I doubt the NSA cares about what goes on here.

The thousands of genocidal sociopaths that called NS home would be arrested.

Or nothing. Either one.

The sheer amount that I would not possibly care could freeze entire continents. (See, the joke hinges on the phrase 'burning passion' so thus the extreme lack of passion is incredibly cold)
I have the same opinion as when they, or even earlier, the CDC looked at WoW.

Apparently the United Nations did care.

I actually forgot that happened. Still though, it's not like NS is full of radicals.

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

That's almost everyone.

My nation has biological weapons for fuck's sake.

If they read half the post/threads in NSG I can see how they could come to the opinion that NS is full of radicals.

Meh
If they do, they must be insanely bored

by **Arkiasis** » Sun Jan 05, 2014 1:18 pm

Death to America.

Now time to wait for the FBI to show up at my door.

But seriously the NSA has better things to do than watch a bunch of kids argue.

Only half?

I don't believe the NSA is as extreme as most believe.

Half?

More like one tenth.

by **Neo Industrium** » Sun Jan 05, 2014 1:21 pm

NSG does have a history of saying pretty negative things about the US government, so, theoretically, NS isn't COMPLETELY useless as a political tool...

If that. And for every radical on the right, there's one on the left, which kinda cancels out.

This isn't 1984. The NSA has better things to do than read NS threads.

What if the NSA used NS
