Indeed, Welcome to The West Pacific Orainia! You will find life here quite interesting, filled with a wide range of characters/players. If you wish a more intricate/intimate involvement with the inner workings Westwind offers the most "best bang for the buck" advice. A couple of things: Always remember that all your chocolate are belong to Darkesia and if you see a marsupial....shoot it!

Yes, when they understand what is expected of them game-wise.

Holy Carp!

I agree totally TAO. I often screen the newer players created here and either link them to AGP or report them directly to the Mod Squad for action(which they do get around to deeting offensive nations). But when it comes to getting the squad to act upon certain spamming nations, often The squad defers or does nothing at all. IMHO the spamming definitions are too broad and the ofense offered is often left unanswered. If they would further define or even have a thread with examples of prior decisions would help immensely with how we can decide for ourselves how a particular situation is handled. TRR often is not enough for repeat offenders whom IMO often fall between the cracks. For example there are a few nations in TRR that want to use the rmb as their personal messenger medium, yet because they do not post abusively(according to the criteria offered by the game) they get away with it. Repeated attempts at resolving this has worked though(this time) as defining exactly what behavior is expected/undesired has gotten them to realize how they appear to the region and they seem to get it now. One of the GCR's has a program that allows the more experienced players to adopt a new nation, being its mentor to gameplay. Have we anything similar? I believe that such an entity would be useful in developing newer nation's gameplay and or interest in the game. A lot of what we call n00bish behavior seems to derive from a players ignorance of the games rules/etiquette or what is expected from them from the region as a whole. Being an "in-game" player(PD called me that) I can only offer the most basic/crude advice to the newer players. My forte it seems is being the regions rmb guard dog, lol. woof

Some of our older players often act like ten year olds....

I am starting this thread in an attempt to get some things off my chest. Any and all are invited to post here. Bear in mind this is NOT a thread to present nor generate debates/arguements/discussions. This merely is a thread to post comment ONLY. No questions or discussions will be allowed. Just speak your "case" and be done with it. That being said: I am appaled and somewhat dismayed at the apparent lack of "concern" the game mods have taken towards players that continually harrass and or spam regions in this game without regard nor concern about being modded. The inaction on the part of the mods apparently supports these mow-rons and their style of "gameplay". It makes me almost ashamed to continue to play this "game". I understand it is the holiday season, but in my mind, that is not really an "excuse" to shirk their duties/responsibilities to this game. Period. By allowing continued harrassment/spamming by these so called "players" tells me the mods indeed "Do Not Care" or "Could Care Less" about this game and should consider being replaced by more "active" players. Or at the very least, allow for more players to moderate the game to "lessen the load", if that is what the "problem" is. One possible solution might be to create a region that TRR could send these players to that would not allow them to move nor post(But they could telegram) as there would be no rmb to post on. This region should also record their ISP so that no new nations/puppets could be generated by these playes to continue their harrassment/spamming nature. A slow death to be sure, and more humane than said players deserve for threatening the game site ToS and the very existence of NationStates.

What in the world has gone wrong with Sensorland? What is his obsession with the marsupial thing? Was this a test? Was he a "spy"? And Tunapocolypse......is he testing the delegate as well? As long as TAO is alive I strive for a marsupial-free environment! *kicks a roo* Sensorland , IMHO, dared to test the stance/resolve of AGP and felt it. Every marsupial entity must be met with swift and powerful actions. Death is too good for these pouchies! Sending them to TRR is but one way to resolve any "invasion" by these anomolies of nature!! I stand firmly by this...*munches a fried koala leg*

Or discouraged him

Welcome The Icy Blackness of Space! I like pancakes myself. I LOVE migas(fried corn tortilla strips with scrambled eggs) smothered in catsup and dusted with fresh black pepper! Yummy

You moved a house?! holy carp

I used to assemble this brand, it is from Denmark and is the Ekroness chair, usually in the $1-2,000 range. Top grain leather and solid wood base. It also swivels and reclines.

Please, be my guest!

Welcome Leo Heartship! Pull up a chair, have something to drink, enjoy the views. Don't mind the insanity, it's normal here.

As long as they don't draw blood ....

Well I only bring mention of them every now and again. Special occasions, appropriate situations, that sort of thing. Not many have seen them and of those that have..... well there are survivors to be sure. To be honest, I've been known to lose track...
