Does Max Barry have a Nation?

[The Dusk Islands]

Perhaps Max Barry is the friends we made along the way

[Greater Pareidolia]

Wait... so, I'm Max Barry or not?

Maybe it's like the movie The Thing.
"If you wonder if you are it (the Thing), you are not."

Max doesn't need friends, he has his books and humor.

[Outer Sparta]

Probably Testlandia.

[Undivulged Principles]

Does the founder of Nationstates have nation himself?

Just something that I wanted to know.

If this is in the wrong place, then please tell me.

Yes.

[Nchiyamengi]

No, i'm Max Barry.

Excuse me, but I'M Max Barry

I'm Spartacus!

[The Forsworn Knights]

There are 176'947 nations in Nationstates at the time of my posting this. 176'946 of them are Max Barry.

[Greater Pareidolia]

Excuse me, but I'M Max Barry

I'm Spartacus!

You're 4 pages late to the party. But by all means, keep trying. Maybe some day you'll get it right.

[FelrikTheDeleted]

That sounded awfully aggressive.

Just being encouraging.

[USS Monitor]

Hey, at least now you can rule out me being Max. Then again, I'm pretty sure Max isn't a Civil War ironclad, so that should have made it obvious.

Or maybe you ARE and those pictures of "Max" are just a classic misdirect.

As if one would be able to sell any books otherwise. Nobody's buying a book written by a civil war ironclad.

What? Civil War buffs love ironclads. They would totally buy a book written by the USS Monitor.

[USS Monitor]

I thought you'd be more outraged at the fact that he called you a boat, after all, I heard that to refer to any ship as such was extremely offensive.

Let's be honest, I love and respect USS Monitor a lot but I doubt she'd ever make it across the Atlantic.

Which is why I feel perfectly safe calling her a "boat", too.

Yeah... I had some issues last time I went out in the Atlantic.

Scumbag boat. Survives the American civil war, sinks in a stiff breeze.

Perhaps Max is immortal and he once commanded you under the disguise of one John Worden

Would explain why I got modded despite my history of threadjacking.

I didn't survive the war. I sank in a storm while the war was still going on.

[2nd Thij Empire]

Hmm.

[Adab]

How did we go from wondering whether Max Barry had a nation to talking about Civil War ships?

Ironclads are cool.
Especially our resident NSG one.

I imagine it would be filled with anti-Virginia information, yes?

The Monitor is a hot topic.

[USS Monitor]

Because apparently John Worden and Max Barry are secretly the same person. Think about it: Have you ever seen them together in the same place at the same time?

[Greater Pareidolia]

If you want to be a stickler to technicalities, then yes, you're right. But the way I meant it is that you didn't die as a direct cause of the civil war. Unless the stiff breeze was Confederate weather control technology's doing.

Heh.

Sort of like the Guns of the South but with weather weapons instead of AK47s.

And now they expect you to withstand large scale flame wars and puppet floods. NS management has gone mad.

I dunno, Max looks like him but with a lot less hair.

It's a hilarious weather forecast.

Expected tonight at around 11 a cold front of puppet states that could last well into tuesday, followed by flame wars on wednesday. Some intermittent spamming is expected.
