NationStates

[ChannelDelibird]

Does anyone else here play NationStates? It's a very simple but pleasantly fun game of creating a nation and defining its policies. Thought it'd be interesting to see if people have played before or would like to join, and maybe we could set up a Mafiascum region.

My nation is here.

EDIT: Mafiascum region (password: cdbismafia)

[ChannelDelibird]

Looked interesting; I joined.

What's your nation called?

[ChannelDelibird]

Joined the Mafiascum region. Also,

Vote: CDB

, apparently.

I said this in the region board, but I'm totally for establishing a Delegate ASAP.

(person with most endorsements is delegate, fyi)

I agree. I'd be happy to do it, but I don't really mind - if anyone else has a burning desire, that's fine with me.

[ChannelDelibird]

I'd live there.

Shall I join the WA? Pros? Cons?

Pros: Feels a bit more like you're one nation in a larger world, you get to vote on things you like and against things you don't. Political chicanery regarding endorsing other people to become regional WA delegate becomes an option.

Cons: Your nation has to abide by any WA resolutions passed whether you like them or not. (I'm not sure to what extent this actually affects your nation, though.)

Has this actually improved? I played a few years back after one of these threads started and it got stale pretty quickly. I just remember a daily dose of survey questions.

It's not massively different but they have a few fun new options to play with, like being able to name your capital, religion and leader, and some slight developments in regional relations. It's essentially the same game, though. It was never all that deep, just a bit of a lark.

This whole thread is kind of about how we're already in a Mafiascum region. Reading, do you speak it.
