And the six millionth nation is...

[The Moose]

...The Moose! This is a solid milestone for NationStates, which has given me countless hours of entertainment over the years. It is pretty cool to be part of that milestone.

I have two questions:
1. Will there be a news post to celebrate?
2. I remember that Terrible Books, the three millionth nation, got to choose their pretitle without having to wait for the standard 500M population. Any chance of that happening again?

Screenshots and activity logs can be faked, of course, but these are not. I imagine the admins have their own records anyway.

I doubt it, but you never know.

What the hell. Sure, I'll give you a custom pretitle. What do you want it to say?

What's the reward for being 6 millionth nation?

DEAT

A pat on the back for being lucky

[Lord Dominator]

What's the reward for being 6 millionth nation?

It can be safely assumed the only inherent award is the notoriety of timing the nation founding right

[Ratateague]

What's the reward for being 6 millionth nation?

Only having to compete with ~163,000 other nations.

Nice! I would like it to be "Antlered Fury."

[Trotterdam]

Where does it say which numberth nation you are?

[Lord Dominator]

Where does it say which numberth nation you are?

It doesn't but Moose has a lovely screenshot and comparative activity feed evidence to verify a claim, and my own nation count agrees with them

Wait mods can do that?

seconded.

Mods can change pre-titles yes, but it's usually for rule-breaking mottos/new-mod hazing

Done.

Mods can do ANYTHING. We're AMAZING!!

Well, almost anything. We're pretty cool.

When it comes down to it, it's just site-related stuff. We're still hawt.

OK, it's mostly minor cosmetic shit. And we've mostly got vastly inflated egos.

[The Moose]

Done.

Beautiful, thank you.

Mods can do ANYTHING. We're AMAZING!!

All hail!

As a congragulatory milestone, I have defeated The Moose 15 times in Challanger
Thus taking away The Moose's 0% lose rate, in order to celebrate him/her being the 6 millionth nation

Yes, well, this thread's about The Moose's milestone, not attempts to steal their spotlight.

Sorry

[Sovereign Wilderness]

From one moose to another, I salute you.

[Nilrahrarfan]

Yep, the 6th millionth nation is the Moose. Katrina Stormia is holding a military parade, and preparing for Z-Day (which should've been announced by now).

[Mallorea and Riva]

You blew it with that custom pretitle. We can go beyond the length limit so you could have really made it something impressive.

Yeah, it's such a shame.

Hey, maybe on the 7th million nation in 2020 we can have something impressive.

Is that the same Moose that once took NS offline for a couple of days by biting through a cable near the servers?

[Flanderlion]

5 mil is a big milestone. I'd have put 10 mil as the next major one for news posts and the whole shazam. Congrats anyway to Moose for the 6 mil mark (haven't checked but trust they're right).

No, the mods wouldn't give that moose a custom pretitle, it received a deat from life due to the most serious breach of the griefing rules in living memory.

I hate that pretitle rate limit, I can't create 'duely elected government of the provinces and peoples of Greater Vakolicci Haven'
