As far as I can remember, it takes a few days. So still be careful.

Sometimes up to a couple weeks. But I have the flu virus in me already through that injection. :p

Try to stay healthy. If you don't, there will be two irritable people on NSG, and that would be a problem. :p

Pshaw, to thrive on NSG you have to be as smart as at least a rock.

A common misunderstanding, actually. In order to be able to fully immerse yourself in all NationStates General has to offer, it is absolutely necessary to be at least as intelligent as several rocks and an assortment of pebbles, or a pair of medium sized bricks.

The last thing the internet needs is another obelisk to humanity's capacity for inhumanity.

We should dedicate more corners of the online infinite to pleasant things. Like kittens.

Who is this Doctor Smith? MD or PHD? What's their concentration/specialty? Was their degree awarded by a recognised institution?

Many are your questions, but answers are few. Those in power are hiding many shocking facts from us.
