I used to, a long long time ago.

Now? I just chill with my nation.

I've always intermittently dabbled, but this spanking new forum has pushed me back into an issue-a-day fellow.
I suffer, I labour, I dream, I enjoy, I think; and, in a word, when my last hour strikes, I shall have lived.

Knowing NK, I think a number of posters have misunderstood the OP.

Nothing about Issues in there. ;)

I play the game... I'm closing in on 2500 posts on Canada's forum, but that's mostly in the spam section. Don't know what an endo swap is, but I do know what a feeder region is. What's an NPO? And nope.


I have no opinion on serious players.

In a more serious post than my previous one, yes, I do play the game. I was into the UN before with another nation and have lately gotten back into that field. Still not into the whole raiding/defending game. Rarely answer issues, but do so on occasion. I also RP when I have the time (like now, what with my last final on Wednesday).

Yes to all. I've gone pretty much through every aspect of NS in my time here. This has made me realize that the answer to the question "what does it mean to play the game?" is probably something very long and existential. I love it anyway.
I wish I remember who wrote:Games like Nationstates are like a big cardboard box, and there are two kinds of people in the world. The kind who look at the empty void inside the box and ask "Where the hell is it?" and the kind who jump into the box with their friends and make it into a fort, or a spaceship.

Where's the "kinda" choice?

I log on, dismiss all the issues - unless one looks like it's new (when was the last time there was a new issue?) - then, since I'm a WA member, I check the issues there - if there is one, I vote no. Then I go and check my status in the world, delete any telegrams and go to the forum which is where all the interesting stuff happens.

I used to be involved in some addictive RPs in my regional forum "The Beyond", but that was many a year ago and now I'm in NSG.

I may like to RP again...
