Ummmmm, no.

Ummmmm, no.

My sentiments exactly. Most people don't want to be in a region being hyped by a nation that is 6 days old.

alright then. this nation may be six days old, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing NS for awhile and don't have other nations that are months old. I know what I'm doing and you shouldn't assume, cuz you know what they say about assuming things. :evil:

Well, judging by this thread, the way in which you expect people to just flock to some ambiguous region with no set ideology and purpose, and your last post, I'm prone to come to the conclusion that actually you don't know what you're doing. Sorry.

Well then if you have other older nations with respect, use them to get people into your region. And yes I know what they say about when you assume things. "It makes an ass out of you and me." But I have to say, my assumption isn't too far off, almost any other nation would have said the same thing I did.

Ambiguous region!? Well, some people actually know what Annares is, by reading the book, the Dispossessed. And it just pisses me off that people assume things. thats all. I don’t understand why everyone is so judgemental. And if you read the book, there are set ideologies and purposes …

Well, you seem very upset. So I'm going to just walk away and leave you in your quiet place now. Bye-bye.

yeah ... I would do that but my other older nations are in a different region ... well then.

So? Does it really matter if they are in another region? Anyhow, the fact remains, just by looking at when your nation was created almost everyone would assume that you don't really know what you are doing. It's how the game works. New nations get blasted, plain and simple..."well then."

Guess what? You need to give us reasons to go there, apart from a vague description.

He is right though. Until the forum keyword serch is reinstated, modalerts are useless.

420 skateboards: You based your region on a book that I bet most people here have never heard of, then get mad when someone doesn't recognize it? My my...

And by your grammer and smilie use, I would say that you are one of the following: Arcel and got a whole lot better at spelling, New Spartha returned to provide entertainment and frustration to all, or a n00b that is trying to pass himself off as an older player.

Why don't they work anymore?

There is your answer. Can't use the keyword search.

There is no need to flame..

If 420 wants to advertise, let him. If you don't want to move there, don't. But there is definately not a need to Post: Ummmm No, and definatley no reason to quote that and get into an arguement over it.

My evaluation:

Sliponia is at fault here, at least partially.

There is no need to flame. Who's flaming? :?

Fine I accept the "partial blame", but as I said early, most other nations would have said the same thing, I see it all the time. As for the "Ummmm No" thing, I technically never posted that, merely quoted, so I suppose Presgreif deserves some "credit" as well.

Are you sure about that?

Knock it off. Stop flaming those of you who are.. and don't feed the trolls for those of you who aren't.

:shock: Uh... did they only take out the search for regular members? Or have the Mods become omnipotent?

yes, yes. I guess I should of known that it was kind of an unknown book. I was just in an angry mood and didn't want to deal with anyone giving me .... well, I won't swear, but yeah. I'm not a n00b ... I was just trying to let people know my region exists w/out getting harrassed about it ... maybe I went about it the wrong way ... sorry for any upsetment ... oh and hey thanks for sticking up for me Trousers ... I really didn't mean to cause this whole big scene ... sigh. some people just want an arguement. one more thing - what is "proper" to post and not post? I seem to hear the word "Modalert" quite often.

whoops. there I go again not paying attention. that previous one (The Sex Pistols 1977) was me. sorry about that.
10-12-2003, 19:41
Thats okay skateboards. As for joining this region I have not heard enough good things about it plus I am too involved in my own region and its a new region.
