I just joined NS today, and I had so many supportive telegrams. And people say that NS is bad, but it couldn't be further from the truth! The first telegram I got was Max Barry telling me that he's my number one fan. Awww. It's nice to have fans all over the World. He even said that he'll be eager for me to steer his destiny, should I put him in touch with Ms. Simonyan?
And I was instantly bombarded with propaganda, including this one, reminding me of my Pravda days.
Hey there Putin Vladimir Putin,
Welcome to NationStates.
I'm sure at the moment you are being absolutely bombarded by telegrams from people telling you about how great their region is and why you should join. Well, I must admit that this is also one of those telegrams. Except, we're telling the truth.
Awww. It's as if I never left Sputnik. I've also gotten TGs with an "exclusive" invitation... I love that trick. Just slap exclusive on top of any invitation, and presto. Yet another region wanted me to run for office right away. Seems NS is as troubled as 1990s Russia. Brings back memories. And yet another offered salutations.
But then there was a TG stating Putin Vladimir Putin, ATTACK YOUR ENEMIES! - is that a trap? I thought trolling wasn't allowed? All in all, it's been a riveting experience on NS and NSG thus far, I got to thank Barry, and get awesome TGs, even ones telling me to embrace Democracy.
What was your NS/NSG experience like when you started?
(Also, if this should be in another forum, please move it. I don't mean to take over NS right away. Like Ukraine, these things take time.)
