Quick question...

[Oppressorion]

This is very minor, but has bothered me since I joined. I know that DEAT refers to deleting a player's nation, but what does it actually stand for?

[Transnapastain]

The origins of the word DEAT is shrouded in mystery and intrigue...

Some say its an acronym, but can not cite its meaning. Some think that to do so would bring death and destruction upon NS.

Others think its simply the phonetic pronunciation of a shortening of the word "delete"

Still others believe that the word DEAT derived from a misspelling of dead, and through sheer weight of badassry, endured.

Rumors concerning the origins of the mysterious punishment abound, but, ye, no single player has managed to discover the truth....and lived.

'We don't know' works too

If non-mod-folk are allowed to interject here, could it be 'Destroyed, Eradicated, Annihilated, Terminated'?

Good one. 'Delete with Extreme All-encompassing Terror', perhaps?

Perhaps this could clear up matters as well.(not a mod)

It can be many things, perhaps it is a meta-physical entity that becomes what you want it to be.

Just see that it does not become you, neh?

Aha, but, you see, I said no "player" has discovered the truth and lived. Learning the mystery of the DEAT is an integral part of the arcane rites of moderation.

Blasphemy! Those holy texts should never have been posted by the heretic at NSWiki.

Someone once got deleted for a long rant filled with profanity and threats, including threatening DEATH to people, except he missed the "H" and ended up threatening DEAT!

It was vaguelly amusing so it stuck around like all funny things on the internet do. Until it long since ceased to be funny.

NS marriages henceforth must include the vow 'til DEAT do us part.'

Alright, question sufficiently answered, lawls were had by most....if not all.

Thank you all for coming.
