Infected Mushroom is very memorable.

[LiberNovusAmericae]

Dread Lady Nathicana was fired? I thought she just retired.

Linky: viewtopic.php?t=353319

I was told I could post something before it was posted for me, so here goes.

I'm no longer a moderator on NationStates.

How and why? The reasons are many and varied, depending on who you talk to. I have my answers, some of the other mods have theirs, and the site owner has his. At the end of the day, what started out as minor disagreements on policy, the handling of situations, attitudes, and assorted other issues became bigger, and made it impossible to continue in good faith on my part, and impossible to deal with me on theirs. Not my preference, not my choice, but then again, its not my site. And hey - it is all no longer my problem.

From the sounds of it, stuff got heated backstage and they ended up removing her from the mod team. Not as crazy as the 2004 Stephistan mental breakdown and emergency demodding, but I remember reading the Nathi firing thread and it came as a big shock to me. I always liked Nathi, so it's sad to see her gone now.

Thanks for the response. You're right, the site owner stood her down. I found this in the Moderation forum from a few years later, and there was some drama.

Much as you may like, you cannot take my time and service on this site away as simply as the owner did the shiny red color on the account name. "Any normal reader" could see this was merely commenting with knowledge on a topic that was in question, and thus open to players - of which I happen to be one. My opinions and statements prior to modding were much more to the point, much more heavy-handed, and much less loomed over by moderation. Well how 'bout that.

[Borovan entered the region as he]

Frisbee good guy active mod
Unibot remember he endorsed me when I was ejected and has funny flag name

[Free Arabian Nation]

Ohh boy, quite a lot of them, but here goes:

From NSG and other non-F7 threads:
- Ghost Land. You're a cool guy to talk to when it comes to music.
- USS Monitor for inviting me to NSSCRA and just giving me general confidence and support all the way. Also a very cool gunboat Mod.
- Bluelight, because you're just a sweet dude in TET.
- Hurdergaryp, Ethel Mermania, Blaat, Heloin as well... really swell people in TET. ^^
- Many of the Mods who have all been very helpful and nice with me.

For NS Cards:
- Ballpit, Fris, Ballotonia, 9003, DGES (Destructive Government Economic System), amongst many others.

For NS Issues:
- Candlewhisper Archives, Chan Island, Jutsa (for maintaining a huge list of issues), Ransium, Helaw... very supportive and helpful with me when I first dabble into writing Issues.

For F7:
- Toooo damn many to count, so there're Stanier, Zitravgrad, Yegla Islands, Frievolk, Silver Commonwealth, 13 Necropolis 13 (now under a variety of other puppets!), Scottish Socialists, Free Arabian Nation, Hammer Britannia... and that's not even scratching the surface.

Thank you Val, very cool!

[Fartsniffage]

What was the name of that old guy who used to hit people with trout a lot?

[Free Arabian Nation]

What was the name of that old guy who used to hit people with trout a lot?

My dad?

[The Liberated Territories]

Sibirsky, AmCal, Hippo (though the latter is still active gameside)

[Bear Stearns]

Sibirsky, AmCal, Hippo (though the latter is still active gameside)

heh

[Cannot think of a name]

What was the name of that old guy who used to hit people with trout a lot?

It sounded like Estonia or something...Etruska...something like that.

Eutruska?

[Cannot think of a name]

Eutruska?

Yeah, that.

[Bombadil]

Free Soviets and Soheran waffling endlessly about philosophy.
Ryadn - I think that was how it was spelled

Ashmoria and Ardchoille were particular favourites though already mentioned.

I personally didn't mind Melkor Unchained.

Soyut merely for a thread about whether whether we should be silicon based not carbon..

Others I'm sure..

[Kowani]

I’m surprised nobody mentioned Parkus.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

I’m surprised nobody mentioned Parkus.

Parkus was really quite annoying, and often descended into trolling.

[Bluelight-R006]

Don’t forget the people who are active debaters and RPers on the forums but not really memorable at first thought. I think that’ll include some of the people here, and I’d place myself on that list.

[Kowani]

I’m surprised nobody mentioned Parkus.

Parkus was really quite annoying, and often descended into trolling.

This is also true. Although I think we find many people who we disagree with more annoying than those who are at least on our side.

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

Maybe, but he also did some kind of scummy trolling, which is bad regardless of political ideology.

I only caught him towards the end, so the trolling wasn’t egregious. Or if it was, I didn’t notice it.

He had this thing for creating new nations and pretending to be Muslim. It was weird, and gave the impression that he only cared about pissing people off.

[Bread Herbert]

I used to be very active on this site up until a few years ago and I have only sporadically visited under various nations since then only to lose interest and leave again. Players I will always remember are:

Dumb Ideologies: I always liked her snarky comments and her flags!
Crazy Girl: One cool moderator.
Nervun: Yet another cool moderator.
Hippostania: The Finn that was madly in love with America. I disagreed with him on many things, but it's a pity that he is gone.
Franklin Delano Bluth: The satirist that always kept things interesting.
Screensaver: Such an interesting character that always had something to say about everything.
Karinzastan: His calls for revolution against the mods.

[Destructive Government Economic System]

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~

Thanks for the mention, and props to you for that entire list! Clearly a lot of effort.
