Like many, I first heard about this game from a friend. This was probably in March or April of this year. I since have told others about this game.

I don't think it's against the rules to take a nation with someones permission. Ive already mentioned multiple times in the past Toronina was once my siblings nation before they quickly got sick of NS and gave it to me, and I've never really been asked about it.
Now I'm back in the ring to take another swing

I had the ability to be one of the oldest, but I failed to return to this website soon enough. The Jolt era, so vastly different.

I've been around for a while, off and on. Certainly not the oldest, though. And compared to some of our newer nations, I've done very little in the way of furthering NS.

Folks just tend to grow up, or lose interest, or get far too busy with RL--as I often have.

Oh wow awesome! Then I guess now the hard part is tracking down who owns New Zealand (and possibly... convince him/her to... hand it. To me nicely.) :evil: :twisted:

I think I joined in 2012, cause I remember all the fucken Romney vs Obama shit going on at the time. I haven't really had a consistent account until this one, of course, in large part because I'm someone who gets bored very easily and also because sometimes RL gets insanely busy.

Your information is wrong. See, now I got warned because of you. This is not fair. :?

But back on topic: What about Frisbeeteria? I heard once that Frisbeeteria was actually friends with Maxtopia? Is this true information or not?

Thank you very much for post. I've found this picture as well, but after some research.... yeah, they're all history by now.
Testlandia or Unibot III might know something. If that didn't work, I might have to email Max for answers...

(The current existing New Zealand is a different one. A quick check at the boneyard reveals all)
