Are you sure this would fall under an NSG glossary? This is more of an internets in general thing. :/
NationStates remains an excellent educational tool for children. It can teach you exactly just how far people will go to gain extrajudicially what they could never gain legitimately. ~ Questers
And congratulations to Derscon, who has finally codified the exact basis on which NS issues work. ~ Ardchoille

Or when the reader has the attention-span of a gnat and can't be bothered reading more than a few lines before being distracted by ... oh, look! A bunny!

Combined the both of them and added. Thanks!

Another for the II Glossary :p

General A strange realm. It is rumored that people here solve their ideological differences with words, not missiles. As if that would work anyway, seeing as that any compromise from your Centrist position would lead to disaster.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.- Carl Sagan

Added then.

Though quite honestly, I think we're using missiles over here as well. ;)
