How to waste more time on NS?

Postby The Northwood » Thu May 19, 2011 10:35 am

To start off I love this game and I'm simply wondering how I can become more involved. My only complaint is that theres not enough to do! The only RPing i might be into is warfare but that even sounds a little lame to me. Any suggestions? Anyone with an incredibly active region they might suggest joining?

Argue with libruls and socialists and anarchists on NSG, also wank around on F7, thats really a waste of time.

(Factbooks are kinda fun and educational, so not entirely a waste of time)

For what possible reason would you want to spend even more time on NS?

At least if you sell your soul to the devil, you usually get something worthwhile.

Make your very first real friend. That's what Zeno did.


Then again, Zeno's concept of reality is shot to hell, so... whatever.... It's real to Zeno at least....

Make a dozen or so puppet nations. :meh:
As we speak, the Libyan people are being
massacred by terrorists in arms against the
legitimate government. The elderly, women,
children... everyone in Libya is in danger tonight.
Help raise awareness and support Gaddafi!

I don't know where getting that from, theres almost to much to do.

Spend your free time adding things to your factbook
Use MS paint and Google images to make flags and Maps of your region
Read the factbooks and you'll be surprised at what you can learn

Good RPing can be setting up a storefront
Some 'continue the story' forums are good to
Set up or open up an embassy program in your nation or another one

but above all else, be realistic and don't godmod, for the love of god, allah, buddah and the rest of the gang don't godmod or you will be dead to us all. You'll get bannished to F7 if you do

Khanastan is an entirely fictional PMT nation somewhat similar to a larger, more free version of China. We are a massive federal representative republic of half a billion people with a self-sufficient, world-dominating economy. NS stats are not used. Use our Factbook instead.
Call me Khan. I've been here a while. I'm from Glasgow, Scotland. I think people should treat people like they want to be treated themselves. If you want to know more you're going have to buy me a drink or get to know me better, otherwise i'll stop being such a mystery.

Once you're here long enough, your routine will devolve into posting in as many threads as possible, and constantly refreshing the page to see if anyone's replied.

Troll NSG just make a thread about how Communists, Nazis, Fascists, Liberals, Conservatives and Anarcho-Capitalists are all secretly closet homosexuals who worship Satan. That should get the ball rolling.
