NS Cliches II: Re-Rebooted

[European Federation Reunified]

Users who, instead of simply bump their storefront, accept the requests despite the latter come from nations that are practically dead.

There is always a first time.

As far as I'm concerned, if it's been a while since I've replied to one of my storefronts and the nation hasn't CTE'd, I'll reply to their application. Doesn't matter if it's been a few weeks or even a few months.

If you can't deliver to someone who's dead, your delivery system is a filthy casual and needs to git gud. Get some detective on the trail and find those customers!
Man, I really need to hurry up with bringing the legion into a state I'm satisfied with. The WDS calls for me.

I have seen the opposite, quite a lot more often, actually...

The OP / seller / vendor CTEd long before, and perhaps forever in internet years. Founded maybe in 2009, last activity in 2011.

"I would like 500 of your guns, plz"

But then how will you get paid if the customer is dead?

Simply have the dead customer pay, duh. Are you Necrophobic or something? Cause that's cringe yo.

I'm not necrophobic, the system is. All dead people are unfairly poorer than the living. It's not my fault they can't pay up.

Many nations have rather young leaders despite they are not dynastic empires where the likehood of young leaders would be higher than not.

Yeah I notice that, especially young female leaders. There's nothing particularly wrong with it but it's not that original.

The trend of young women being leaders seems to be people wanting to waifu-ify their national leader.

And the users who bump these long-dead threads from CTE'd accounts are almost always somebody who just joined this site too.

How they even find these threads is quite baffling, too.

One would've thought they'd have a gander first at the more recent threads, but no.

Maybe they did, but they just wanted that certain something...

I find it weird that nobody sells AGLs in 40x50mm, even weirder that nobody offers things like bayonets or incendiary weapons either. Like, grenades. Or anti-structure munitions.

Heck I've yet to find anyone who sells an automatic mortar or even a self propelled mortar that exceeds 200mm in caliber.

Right... time to open me an incendiary weapons store.

Person who joined NS 15 minutes ago: Goes to the very last page of a thread instead of page 1 like a normal person
Finds a thread from 2009
Ignores all the CTEd flags
Ignores literally all the context

/is warned by mods for gravedigging post from 2012

This just reminds me: warnings for gravedigging has to be one of the rarest types of warnings mods give out, right?

Cause usually their MO when it comes to gravedigging is to just lock the thread, sometimes with a post telling people not to gravedig long-dead threads and sometimes with just a lock.

Like the only times off the top of my head where I can recall a user actually getting something on their record for gravedigging is one instance of someone did a very deliberate spammy gravedig (it was literally some shit like them replying to 4-5 year old thread with something like 'I cast ULTIMATE NECROMANCY! Thread Revived!') and at least one example of a user who kept on gravedigging F&NI threads no matter how many times the mods locked the threads they dug up and told them to stop. Pretty sure they eventually ate like a 1 or 3 day ban for their constant gravedigging.

I think that seems to be the mod team's stance. It's only directly actionable when it's malicious, and that's fair enough.

Been noticing a trend of people who think ignoring war conventions and committing war crimes against opponents which adhere to international law somehow translates to automatic military success
