How there could be dissatisfaction over it is what confuses me. I must've missed when the purpose of the thread changed from "chat" to "break records in speed-threading".

Yes, speed-threading is a word now. I made it so.

I wasn't dissatisfied. I was just surprised, the tempo was quite quick when I left yesterday.

Why would you? :(

So I can never be imprisoned by people I don't want to be imprisoned by?

Speed-threading, you say? Yeah, that seems to be a good word for it. Some come here to chat, others enter to satisfy their need for speed.

TET regulars are not a distinct race, so your statement is silly and potentially insulting. You're in for it now, kid!

Not you specifically, hon.

So I can never be imprisoned by people I don't want to be imprisoned by?


:( But I would never allow that! Just me.

A distinct race of the greater Generalite species. Your lack of understanding in this nuanced manner is regrettable, but understandable. Henceforth seek more knowledge before sallying forth and making such bold assertions, however!

Featuring amazing action scenes involving furious pounding on keyboards and shouting at tablet computers. You know, a bit like this.

Because NationStates: the movie was such a resounding succes. The guy thinking up that little project apparently has been forumbanned for a year. TET: the movie should at the very least result in several permabans.
