Similarly he also hated Ashtou iirc.

Imagine having beef with someone over a forum

Imagine caring about your hobby and those you share it with.

This is an extremely common event though? Have you never been in any forum for even moderately long periods of time?

Gonna keep it real with you chief, I kinda understand both sides in this "argument." Yeah, it's annoying to get no effort and I understand wanting people to write more than "Idk lol" but it's also a bit silly to get as up-in-arms as some folks do about it. I feel like there's a fine line betwixt actually wanting effort from people and just being obnoxious.

Yeah I'm gonna be honest, at this point the people bitching about low-effort posts are more annoying than the people who make low-effort posts like deadass.

Gonna agree with TAR that there is a fine line.

Buhers, You are on the right side of it.

I was a summie for some ten years easy(_{if you are looking at my founding date add 6yrs}), but would have put on my pull ups a bit sooner if there was a Buhers around at the time.

Back in the good old days of NS, no one cared about any of this crap.

I mean this community has always been terrible but no one cared lmao.

Instead we argued about the eternal thing: NS stats vs RP stats.

We need to go back.

fuck these kinds of nations i hate them

Heh, my nation used to fit this description actually. I had no idea what I wanted to do with it, but I liked playing both. Later on I just decided it's better to just make another nation instead.

Imagine having a coherent idea of what one plans to do with their nation.

If you didn't have your entire nation's lore planned out when you joined this site at 12 years old, can you really say you belong on this site?

Biggest cliché of all in NS: have all of your lore be entirely in your head and never bother writing it down, and then be surprised when people don't magically know how your incredibly detailed judiciary and legislative branches work.

Nobody is gonna read that shit even if you write it down, so they still won't know it.

Summer posters and low effort posters are just a fact of life on NS and we should just accept it.

It's funny seeing how many people think that I genuinely support slavery, imperialism, LGBTQ+ genocides, unbridled corporatism and worker exploitation, political corruption, etc.
But then again, I can sorta see where they're coming from given the sorry state of the U.S. government right now (which happens to be one of the inspirations behind this nation)...

you are either a technocrat, fascist, or conservative!!!!

The real trick is to just accept the fact that, for a game that's supposed to a government simulation game, probably the majority of people on this site are completely politically illiterate.

By that, I meant knowing what to do with it, and putting it in a coherent fashion.

Let us embrace the pain. I think I'll make an ideology in Rimworld called "NS Roleplayism" and it's just a cult that loves diseases and venerates pain.

That if you are hard on crime and criminals, you’re not a real leftist. Historically, many leftists have been tough on crime as well. We’re not all Scandinavia. Though I agree with most things about Scandinavian style social democracy, I don’t share their hand wringing over draconian penalties for crime, especially violent crime.

I was making a joke implying that I had all of Gandoor's lore planned when I joined this site.

I very much didn't lol.

Ironically, they are among the most active participants in the roleplaying threads. They are indeed playing a big role in keeping this site alive. While I do not technically support the summies and their low-effort posting, I do understand that they are indeed willing to participate in the roleplaying. Although offcourse, people like Northumbria and Azadistan don't count. They are trolls tbh.

What's also important to remember is this is pretty much how NS RP has always been.

It's so easy to talk about the supposed 'golden age' of NS RP, but I guarantee for every user who joined in 2018 who thinks that 2018-2019 was the golden age of NS RP and it's call gone downhill since then, there's going to be another user who joined a few years before that in 2015 who thinks that 2018 is when NS RP started to decline.

The actual truth, of course, is that you're only going to remember the high-quality RPs and RPers as time goes on. You're not going to remember the tons of generically bad but not offensively so RPs that might last a week or two before everyone loses interest or the poor RPers themselves. Excepting for ones who become known for their poor quality RPs, but that falls outside the realm of 'generically bad but not offensively so'. It's like movies, there's a difference between a movie that's bad and boring and a movie that's so bad it's good, y'know?
