NS Cliches II: Re-Rebooted

[Gandoor]

Cliché: A mod making a reply that's full of swearing after someone asks if you're allowed to swear on this site.

It makes me chuckle every time it happens.

[Free Stalliongrad]

Cliché: if you have "north" in your country name, you will create a thread in international incidents to spark a civil war in the south.
the reverse is also fine.

[Perikuresu]

The north south split is an ideological one and the war is one of reunification
(I assume it's a cliche)

[Diarcesia]

Cliche: Communist countries using a hammer and sickle as representation of the workers.

[Gandoor]

Y'all remember when it seemed like every few weeks someone would come into this thread to complain about anime flags lmao.

[Diarcesia]

Thanks God that died a bit.

[Perikuresu]

Cliche, well more of an experiment

How to tell people have read your factbooks-
1. Use a name for an account that is different from your country
2. Post on a F7 where your country's name must be used
3. People who use your account name clearly didn't read

[Huaren Gongsi state]

Cliche: You can't be a social-conservative without being a religious maniac that hates technological advancements ✔✔✔✔

[Gandoor]

People having like 50 factbooks/dispatches just for their military shit and like basically nothing else lmao.

[Orlesian States]

Culture? Government? Bah, we have tanks and millions of nuclear missiles! We are the most powerful ever so who cares about rational nation building?

military STRONK and ALIVE destroy all in our path and little/no substance beyond that

[Orlesian States]

^{but the military is the substance! noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!}

[Karazicu]

To add on: I do have to say that plenty of FT nations do fall into a trap of heavily focusing on writing about their military and displaying how epic and mighty their army is without really fleshing out much else very well. It just looks more like a listing of stronk weaponry than anything else, not very good when it does.

[Gandoor]

For someone I have a distinct memory of someone on this site from years back who's factbook said something along the lines of 'all of our military's weapons fires a nuclear weapon' and I honestly can't help but laugh at that idea.

I'm pretty sure it was pre-factbook feature too, so probably like 2011 or some shit.

Ahhh yes. The good old cliché of when a supposedly FT nation has the same types of government, economic system and culture as what you can find in the modern day, and where the only change that happened between now and the future, is that we have spaceships and laserguns. Let's not think about how the massive robot army implies that in that world, AI and automation are good enough to have a bigger impact on broader society then BIG and STRONK military. Let's not think about how much ideas and movements the real life industrial revolution spawned, or the impact the internet has on culture. I think that one of the main problems of some military-focused nations is that you don't see a lot of civilian life.

Why does it look like something out of Ratchet and Clank?

[Dayganistan]

To be fair, this is probably because it's so rare for anything else to come up in RP on NS and a lot of people are using real world cultures instead of making something up from scratch.

[Nationalist Northumbria]

Cliché: if you have "north" in your country name, you will create a thread in international incidents to spark a civil war in the south.
the reverse is also fine.

I have never done this.

[Gandoor]

Trading cards season 3 lmaooooo

[The Onox Legion]

Cliche: People being anal about flags and incapable of judging things like heraldic crests just by the same standards.

[European Federation Reunified]

Threads of any kind that were initially not considered by anyone, then are constantly replied by users.

[Perikuresu]

Do you ever decide to just jump the ship on an NSG discussion when you see this one really toxic person join in and ruin the discussion

[Continental Free States]

Not sure if that's the one you mean, but IM just has that effect on people.

[Aikoland]

I'm honestly convinced that the mods keep certain users with, how should I put it politely, out there political views around entirely because it's funny.
