It's an online game.. mostly for amusement value.. I got this today.

 

"You're all thinking too small!" exclaims Jazz Bush, an avid Star Wars fan. "What we need is more research into the possibilities of space weapons! Big laser cannon and satellites with complete annihilation power! And cool spaceships! Boom! Rat-a-tata! Bang! Bang! It'll be expensive, sure, but think of the power! THE POWER!"

 

SW has it's hand in everything. =o)

Speaking of which, things have been somewhat quiet of late in our region...

 

Here's mine: http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=jahled

Well, after ten minutes of trying to find a name that's not already in use: This is my nation .

 

I'll need to come up with a unique flag, but that one shall do for now.

My zombies moved in.. hope you don't mind? =o)

What's most funny, I tried to get everyone to see this way back in 2003 and I got the same basic reactions. Funny how things die-out then come back. My nation, called Gitano (Trej made a flag for it), was ENORMOUS and then...well...I got bored with it after the issues started to repeat themselves and the sim-UN kept passing stupid declarations and I simply stopped.

How does this work? Do the UN declarations actually force people to do anything?

 

Can you wage war and stuff?

and can you play america and just ignore the un and do what you want?

Nope, You just creater your state and manage it by answering questions on a regular basis. (i was disappointed too)

Despite having a look in everyday now for a while, I must confess to be loosing interest fast, given there's so little you can actually do.

Has anyone found anything else we could all play?

I remeber posting a few games we could play on the last thread that talked about nation states. One idea would be to create a guild in a game like World of Warcraft.

Well someone could go write their own Star Wars web game like Planetarion and we'll all consult.. yeah..

 

In fact Evaders wanted to do that until laziness took him over .

Yeah, nationstates is fun if you have patience to wait and wait and wait. Beyond the issues and making some cool tweaks to your nation, there isn't much more you can do. And, no, despite what some people may say, the game does not allow for war.

...and with that goes the fact I broadly don't agree with how such issues as Civil Rights and Political Freedoms are resolved in the authors minds effecting my nation. Since i've been at it i've been striving for a secular state and seem to have been stung on these fronts with every issue. Not allowing religious-bigotary to influence my society can't be deemed as an assualt on civil liberties or political freedoms can it? Its a contradiction in terms lol

Jahled, will you be our next pope? (sorry, that was wrong)

Compleaty Ignoring what SOCL said...

 

How about this?

The probleme is that it ain't multiplayer

I would suggest this in stead.

How about creating a SW Galaxies guild?

Compleaty Ignoring what SOCL said...

Hey, whoa, man, I had only realized the wrongness of my post after the fact (I hadn't remembered what had happened to the Holy Father at the time of writing the post).

Yes, yes, It's too bad. I just hope we get a new that's one as good he was.

 

Nice find Mad

Not to go too off topic (by the way, I hadn't meant any offense), but rumor has it the Vatican may want to Saintify (sorry, I'm not sure of the verb for "to be made a Saint")* the late Pope John Paul II.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Yes, I realize who satircal that came across, but I assure you, it wasn't meant that way.

Beatify is the verb your looking for SOCL.

Maybe we should get back on topic.

 

Shall we create a guild on the server of an MMORPG?

Well, I'll start by going off topic for a second: beatify is actually "To proclaim (a deceased person) to be one of the blessed and thus worthy of public religious veneration in a particular region or religious congregation." To declare someone a saint is to Canonise someone (they must be dead though).

 

Back on topic (somewhat): The only problem with MMORPGs mad is that a) we'd all have to pay for it; b) we'd all have to be able to run it one our computers; c) it would have to be one we all agree on and would enjoy. Some tough requirements .
