What is a summie?

[Eros Prime]

Not sure if this is the right forum. What exactly is a summie? I have seen the term more and more these days, but I can’t figure out what it means. I suspect it is a term unique to the NS forums, since I haven’t seen it anywhere else

A summer poster. There is an annual influx of posters in summer during school holidays.

More specifically an influx of posters who just try to start fights and generally act like trolls.

This puns leaves me nonplussed.

I have seen quite a few summies in my time. They are usually just bored shitposters and simple far-right/far-left trolls looking to get a rise out of people.

All this time I thought that (northern hemisphere) summer is a quieter time in NationStates.

Why is that? The majority of the developed world is north of the equator.

My definition of the word "Summie" is:

A person who often makes low-effort/low quality posts which are in the region of spam posts. The term "Summie" usually applies to Forum 7, though it may also apply to other subforums as well.

I forgot to add the porn spammers. They seem to pop up a bit more around summer sometimes.

I've never seen the word...nor heard it.

I have never seen nor heard the word either, but I still knew what the OP meant by it.

I just put it to differentiate it from the southern half of the world.

Who can forget Chaucer's The Summies Tale?

Hold up thy tayl, thou Sathanas!' quod he;
'Shewe forth thyn ers, and lat the mods se
Where is the nest of spammeres in this place!

Why was that necessary?

I used to love our annual crop of nazi posters. So much fun to fuck with.

So negative

Children need to spend that summer energy somewhere, for some it ends up being here. I maintain it should be the mines, but that's apparently "cruel" and "abuse".

Little turds already play minecraft all day anyway, they yearn for it.

What is wrong with playing minecraft? If you mean the multiplayer then maybe yes but if we're talking about the sandbox mode then there is no problem with that.

First time I am hearing it as well.

holy shit I never actually thought of it like that

...Because it's not summer in the South?

I simply felt like doing it.

The only form of mining I would've been curious of when I was a kid was panning for gold in a creek or a river.

Huh, I got relatively active in the forums a month or two ago. No wonder everyone in the F7 age forum thinks I’m 17.

Kidding, sort of. I can see how folks would come to the conclusion. Not a huge deal, anyway…

[Neon Lunar Eclipse]

I remember 2-3 years ago we had this crazy kid repeatedly spamming the forums with a bunch of all caps nonsense and making fun of the mods. So much dedication and love for bananas he had.

There comes a certain time every year where mods shine up their swords to pad their stats for the Mod Olympics. This would be the start of that time...
