Memorable NS'ers (2019 Edition)

[Ghost Land]

Personally, only NSers I wish would come back is my former region founder Cirilla and my non-troll friend Helgs rip 2015 ns

Anywaysssssssss, 9000+ posts in 6 weeks? Thats not humanly possible. And what did the RP mentor dude Milograd do to get DOS?

Lianhua basically spent all day on here; she must have had a boring job and been able to do NS on the side the entire day. Really nice girl, though; she had a lot of friends, and the entire TET dynamic was changed by her presence, in my opinion for the better.

As for Milograd, he must have gotten mad at something or someone from my understanding, started spamming the forum with silly topics to get his nation kicked, then he used some old puppets to spam inanity as a suicide-by-mod, including use of the mod-only warn code and a bunch of other nonsense. That dude had lots of puppets. He was allowed back on in November 2018 under the nation Milozoldyck, but he was booted again because his patterns of trolling and low-content posting hadn't changed after three years of being DoS.

[The Blaatschapen]

Coffee Cakes.

Sedgistan.

Soldati

Desiree

[Chestaan]

I miss Divair, been many years since I saw him post

Oh also Trotskylvania (or however it is spelled). It was always interesting to read his takes on communism, and he was highly intelligent and we'll read, especially on theory.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Some oldies:

Hippostania, didnt like him in the slightest, had a lot of arguments with him, but he is one of the ones that stands out to me most in my earlier years on this site.
Dyakovo, Dread Lady Nathicana, Sedgistan were all other prominent ones i remember seeing a lot.
Nadkor, fellow norn ironer, shame to see her go.
Imperialist russia (think he is gone)

Ones who are still around:

My paradox thread buddies: Bralia, Impaled Nazarene, Lunas legion, Ism, Abserdia, Genivaria, Washington Resistance Army, Purpelia, Ifreann, United Muscovite Nations (any ive not named soz you are still fun!)

Some others: The Blaatschapen, Hurdergaryp, Ethel Mermania, Farnhamia, Infected Mushroom, Archregimancy, Ameriganistan, Ballenstein, First Galactic Republic, Internationalist Bastard

Valentine Z, Ism , Huskar Social Union, Grenartia Internationalist Bastard,Ethel mermania, Kannap,Blaatschapen, High Swaglord, that guy who has a flag of boomy from avatar, to name a few

Aww thanks haha

[Pax Nerdvana]

Gameside, probably Lake of Fur. Forumside, and the rest of the Bar on the Corner of Every Region. There are a lot of people: the whole TET crowd, Luminesia, Harbertia, and much of the rest of the P2TM group. And Big Jim P.

[RiderSyl]

Dunno if they've been mentioned yet, but SkyDip / Skyrim Diplomacy in the GA and SC. The master of repeals. Inspired me to take more of an interest in the WA forum, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

[Grotesque Spore Creatures]

Jeez, where do I even start...

Valentine Z, The Chuck, and Fallen Albali for being the most supportive users through one of the Discord servers I'm in.

The Northern Light, Toerana, Ballpit, Frisbeeteria, The Salaxalans, ROM, Luna Amore, Samudera, Matrixulated, 9003, Ever-Wandering Souls, Refuge Isle, Wopruthien, Drop Your Pants, Queen Yuno, and Ponderosa for acknowledging and supporting my creation of (currently) the largest collection of ex-nation cards in the entire game.

Special thanks goes to The Northern Light and Samudera for donating ex-nations to me, ROM for linking me the most notable of ex-nations to collect, Luna Amore for advancing the popularity of ex-nations through the high purchase of Soops for 250 bank, Frisbeeteria for gifting me 2 legendary ex-nations (i.e. Sionis Prioratus and Noahs Second Country), urging me to collect ex-epics to solidify my deck, and for collaborating with me to make the record-breaking purchase of Menta Lee-Il for 205 bank (special mention to Captain Lard for momentarily raising its market value as well), Toerana for their sheer enthusiasm on a daily basis, Ballpit for being an exceptionally active pseudo-admin of the NS Cards Discord, The Salaxalans for inviting me to their Spiritus server, Ponderosa for specifically mentioning me and my collection within this thread, and to both 9003 and Matrixulated for having such grand ex-nation collections, with 9003 particularly inspiring many top card players to send their ex-nations over to him, rather than simply junking them.

Outside of ex-nations, I would also like to thank Rain Delay for regularly showing interest in my card. They're also one of the nicest people I've ever met, so kudos to them for being such a great person to chat with.

Hammer Britannia, Pax Cybertronian, Free Arabian Nation, Wentera, and Adad Civilization for being some of the goofiest people I've ever met, outside of RPs. A good laugh's always, well, good for getting through the day.

Narumasang, Maori Moon, Demirestad, Danubian Peoples, and La Paz de Los Ricos for being amazing countryball artists (at least to me); Dawetid and Silver Commonwealth for serving as reminders that such art still exists, generally, in NS today.

To add on to Valentine Z, The Chuck, Fallen Albali, Silver Commonwealth, Hammer Britannia, Free Arabian Nation, and Dawetid, I would also like to note of Scottish Socialists, Zitravgrad, Low Bloods, Skyhooked, The Zravvisk, Frievolk, United Republic of Freedonia, Kyoki Chudoku, Pan-Asiatic States, Gandoor, Heloin, Karamiko, Diarcesia, Arkeyana, Little Tin Hat, KiraKira Land, A m e n r i a, Fatatatutti, Las Palmeras, Aikoland, Bluelight-R006, Inkopolitia, Auzkhia, Catsfern, and -Astoria.

Every single one of these users has contributed to the activity of Forum 7, and I feel like each of them deserve credit for making it as lively as it is today.

And to, finally, Dora the Explora Empire (you heard me) for being the most active region member I've ever witnessed for a while, even starting an entire wiki of our region, the first (and probably only) of its kind. Hopefully they won't CTE since it's starting to look like it.

...And that's pretty much all of them. Had some good experiences this year (so far), and I'm hoping to have more in the future~

Hey, what about Trinadaed?

Who's Trinadaed?

The guy in the back.

Never heard of them.

Trinadaed: Ouch.

[Treadwellia]

Neat thread. Nice to see positive shout outs to folks, even if I know very few of the names.

[Bluelight-R006]

Neat thread. Nice to see positive shout outs to folks, even if I know very few of the names.

Though this may be NationStates, we strive to separate ourselves from the world we’re recreating.

[The Holy Therns]

For better or worse there's a lot of people y'just remember. Hippostania, Parkus, Slembana, Ionian Knights, Dread Lady Nathicana, Neo Art, DesAnges are some particulars off the top of my head.

[Grenartia]

We last had a thread on this topic in 2016-2017, and I figured it's time for a revival. I'm a nostalgia buff, NS and otherwise, and I was just hoping this thread could be a place where we could talk about the users of the past who impacted our lives in some way, for better or for worse.

I might be showing my age here, but bear with me:

• Dyakovo (RIP) - great guy, refreshingly brutally honest
• Kryozerkia - mod I never had problems with
• Ardchoille - nation is still active, another mod from "back in my day"
• Jenrak - another former mod, hope he's okay
• Sedgistan - my first mod encounter, April 2012
• Dread Lady Nathicana - mod team hasn't been the same since she was fired
• Goobergunchia - the friendly new mod from back in my day, maybe modding was too stressful for him

Others I remember: Hippostania (still around under a new nation), Skibereen/Temujinn, The Truth and Light, Bluth, Blakk Metal (still around), Mike the Progressive, Vonners/Rubiconic Crossings, Chinese Regions, Ganos Lao, Nightkill the Emperor, Benomia/Bezombia, Lianhua (late-2013 TET'er who racked up over 9000 posts in about six weeks, then left after it was discovered her "sisters' nations" were in fact her puppets, with flags being pictures of random women), Avalar, New England and The Maritimes, The Republic of Lanos, Panzerjaeger/Mussoliniopoli, Neo Art, Vandengaarde (now DoS), Typhlochactas/With Teeth, Milograd (roleplay mentor before his DoS), and a crap ton of others. I also remember USS Monitor as both -Ebola- and Nazi Flower Power; I always liked those names and flags.

On the less savory side of things: I also remember the DoS of Karinzistan very well, and how often he'd come back afterward; 1000 Cats, Objectiveland, Verbluffen, Winslavia, Moving Forward Inc/Acireman, the random gibberish spammer dude from December 2012, and a whole bunch of summer trolls over the years, many of whom having given me some good laughs and reading material. And don't forget all the threads I've read about such colourful past characters as Drunk Commies, BNPs Britain, Beeker in his 2003 incarnation, Hairless Kitten, and a whole bunch of other names from the old Hall of Ex-Nations on the original NSwiki. (And the archives of the current Moderation forum. There is some gold in there!)

Do these names strike up any nostalgia for any of you guys (especially you old-timers)? I'm sure GPers, RPers, Generalites, etc. will have different ideas of who's all memorable and whom they've never heard of, and with only about 600 posts on this nation, I'm doubting anyone will consider me too memorable, at least under this account.

I really miss Dya (RIP), Nightkill, Zeno (as many of us from back in the day knew her), Gidgetism, the OG Nuclear Fist (RIP Vlad), and Divair (to name a small few). I still keep in touch with a lot of people from here that you mentioned, and certain people I honestly wish never came here in the first place (hough, Kare Bear was fucking hilarious).

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Chattysteph or Chatkasatan, Lackadaisical, Hammurab et al, Poliwanacraca, Parkus when he was tolerable, Allbeama, Erickat, Erinkita, Gidgetisms, Hetalia Dakota 2 II, Italios (post more, damn it!), Gallade, Sibirsky, Dyakovo (gone too soon), Ashmoria (RIP) and a few others.

[Diarcesia]

Hey DGES, I appreciate the shoutout, and gladly return the same for you

Oh dear, here we go:

I started here in 2012 in a long-CTE'd nation that RP-wise got written into a corner, though I remember the people that would later on inspire me to dive deep in worldbuilding down the line.
- Yohannes, Lamoni, Anemos Major, Milograd(F), Lyras

Other mentions from that era:
- Sedgistan, Kyrusia, USS Monitor, The Blaatschapen

Fast forward to starting Diarcesia as my main, here are some that I can recall:
- Neonymphonia, Haja-Mishu, the user behind Hellgustine Empire and later, Skyhooked (cheers to one of our resident freedom-lovers), Nilrahrarfan, Jolthig and Valentine Z (some of the most friendly folks I've met), Conserative Morality, Ostroeuropa, Dawetid, Liriena, Vassenor, Gandoor, Anollasia, Pan-Asiatic States, Washington Resistance Army, United Muscovite Nations, The Xenopolis Confederation

Other RPers of Note:
Camelone, Kuronami, Britonisea, The Burke Islands

Others:
Willania Imperium - Remember the time when he's very active in F7. Will love to have some coffee with him.
Nanatsu no Tsuki - I'm not sure who has more posts than you

I was supposed to meet up with Dya about a month before he died. I'll never get over the idea that if he'd been able to meet up then he might still be here.

Probably Trump, on his Twitter.

I know I shouldn't, but I still feel guilt about that.

Happens. It was someone you interacted with often and were even going to meet. I still miss him. He was my first forum buddy.

[The Supreme Magnificent High Swaglord]

Valentine Z, Ism , Huskar Social Union, Grenartia Internationalist Bastard,Ethel mermania, Kannap,Blaatschapen, High Swaglord, that guy who has a flag of boomy from avatar, to name a few

Yay! Someone has mentioned me!

Anyway, since I’m busy at the moment, I’ll give the abridged version of my list of NSG... friends? Maybe? I dunno, does that work? Meh. Here’s the list, in no particular order.

Luminesa,
Fahran,
Hanafuridake,
Valentine Z,
Herp,
Novus America,
Kowani (sometimes, when we’re not arguing over assorted metaphysical stuff),
Old Tyrannia (not so much “friend” but I look to him as a role model)
Abserdia,
Conservative Morality

And some others that I can’t think of at the moment since I have to get back to my RL obligations.

[Shofercia]

What happened to Soldati?

[The Supreme Magnificent High Swaglord]

What happened to Soldati?

He left, IIRC.

[Forsher]

• Keronians
  
• Joseon
  
• Yoot
  
• Nadkor
  
• Steel Magnolia
  
• Ailialia (impossible to spell)
• Electroconvulsive Glee (I believe this was a reincarnation of TCT)

Obviously it would be weird to include current players since anyone who's not mentioned and reads the thread might feel slighted, since, obviously, everyone has extremely fragile egos.

I think most of the other former-players I remember have been mentioned. Strictly speaking I think Nadkor was also already mentioned, but I'm not going to check.

The reason Parkus hasn't come up, in my opinion, is because he was a totally different person the second time he came back... honestly, I feel like his politics did a complete 180.

I guess most of the people who knew Divair are also gone now? Time was when his name would've been all over a thread like this. Although, I suppose, he did get annoying towards the end.

I was surprised to see 1000 Cats in a dishonourable mentions thread. Most BS DOS ever.

[Taihei Tengoku]

HMS Vanguard

[Diarcesia]

Lianhua basically spent all day on here; she must have had a boring job and been able to do NS on the side the entire day. Really nice girl, though; she had a lot of friends, and the entire TET dynamic was changed by her presence, in my opinion for the better.

As for Milograd, he must have gotten mad at something or someone from my understanding, started spamming the forum with silly topics to get his nation kicked, then he used some old puppets to spam inanity as a suicide-by-mod, including use of the mod-only warn code and a bunch of other nonsense. That dude had lots of puppets. He was allowed back on in November 2018 under the nation Milozoldyck, but he was booted again because his patterns of trolling and low-content posting hadn't changed after three years of being DoS.

9000 posts in 6 weeks...simply epic....

And Milograd sounds like a legend lmfao

Remember him back when he was an RP Mentor. One of the people I look up to. Sad that he went the way he did.

And I just saw someone mentioning 1000 Cats. That was insane, what happened there.

Wasn't that the person who admitted to (and advocated) engaging in lewd acts with their cat?
