NationStates Jolt Archive

The other day I was going through the archive looking for some threads on events that happened long ago. However I noticed the archives were lacking. Many threads i thought did not belong their, and the archives still did not provide much information on the past.

Many should remember the archive threads, in which people would post every link involved in a war or event. Unfortunatly many of these threads have been deleated, as are any of their links. Anyway, what I am hoping to do, is have a history project of sorts.

What I want is some volunteers to gather information, and sort of write out what caused the event in nationstates and how it turned out. This would be basically an archive of all great roleplays in nationstates history, typed out and explained. When everyone has finished the history of an event or something, than we can take all of them, post them into one thread, and than put this thread into the archive.

I think this would ultimatly be beneficial to the nationstates communities. I understand that it is hard for newer players to understand what is going on in nationstates. Often times a newer player will find themselves confused, wondering what the hell is the GDODAD, or what do you mean i cant have ww3 cause there has already been a ww6? Anyway I hope everyone find this to be a great idea.

What I am hoping to compile are the histories big events. I would like the histories of all the world wars, the formations of big alliances (im sorry to many players, but when I want histories of alliances, I mean big ones like the Arda, SATO, the now defunct CENNA, and others like this), regions, big RP events, major wars, and anything else worth mentioning. However what I am not looking for is the history of your nation.

Anyway, with this archive created, there can truly be a place for history.
on nationstates. If anyone is interested in helping out please contact me by telegram.

Wow that's definitely an idea...

I'd be willing to help out... wish I could remember half the stuff I was involved in x_x

Great idea, LCS.

I probably wouldn't be helpful, since I only know what went on from late April-late August, and I can't remember half the stuff I was involved in.

im sorry to many players, but when I want histories of alliances, I mean big ones like the Arda, SATO, the now defunct CENNA, and others like this)

i'm kind of insulted you left out the CACE, which is 1) one of the largest alliances around, 2) one the oldest RP alliances (who's older, the Reich? the Reich is a region, cof cof), 3) the oldest and most powerful non-capitalist alliance 4) the only group ever to pull off a succesful disinformation campaign, 5) spearheaded the IFTA, the largest economic bloc in the NS world.

considering the CENNA hardly did anything and died soon after birth, while the CACE has endured numerous attempts to bring us down, i think we deserve to be up there.

please my freind, do not be insulted, if you notice, i said alliances like this, of course there are many alliances that have effected NS RP, and CACE would be. Any help you may render would be greatly apreciated.

Now I am asking everyone who remembers an RP event to telegram me. Alot of RP's I would have just read over again to refresh my memory, but most great RP's have been deleted. anyway, anyone please help.

Here ya go LCS, a GDODAD history accurate up to the point we went underground. I copied it from the post where I disbanded the Dominion ages ago.

The First Official Thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5670&highlight=)
Here, the GDODAD begins its long road to glory. The first thread sees the coming together of revolutionaries, and, n00bs as they may be at this stage, they've sown the seeds of the greatest alliance NS has ever seen, and is ever likely to see...

Here we see The GDODAD's first enemy, Nutland and his band, form an anti-GDODAD alliance, and then in the next thread they are ruthlessly crushed in The GDODADs first war, with our great nation The Silver Turtle launching one of the most powerful warheads we have ever produced at an enemy, after they surrendered. So noble...

More Poonanny wars (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7476&highlight=)
Here we see the beginning of the Poonanny war, and the first great co-operation between The Coalition of Evil and The GDODAD. Eventually, the Poonanny war ended with victory for the CoE/GDODAD alliance, with Poonanny joining the list of conquered and allied nations. Shortly after this, the cause of te war, Pillager Villagers, split off and founded the Ragnarok (this name has later significance) region, creating another pillar of power.

Nod Vs RF-Conclusion (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10836&highlight=)
Well, that mass of threads was World War Four. Unlike the other dubious world wars that revolved round the alliance, that was definately a world-scale war. Treaties went back and forth, fronts went back and forth, and an awful lot of people died. A major problem though, was the unreliability of the forums back then. More often than not the forums would be inaccesible, and battles could be won due to the inability of alliance to act together.
GDODAD Proven Stronger (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12579&highlight=) In the first of many analyzed UN rankings, GDODAD member nations are proven more powerful than their enemies.

Arani Invasion, Part II (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15282&highlight=)
GDODAD fleet goes in to save ER troops. Large sea battle. Supremacy subs prove themselves tops. Drum Gods a big help. AMND proved weaker than The GDODAD.
GDODAD Forum (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22207&highlight=)
Steel Butterfly sets up an off-site GDODAD forum. First NS announcement. Many spies attempt to infiltrate, some succeed for a while. Some don't.

Russian Forces threatens The GDODAD. Claims are made about how we were beaten in WW4, but the facts argue otherwise.

Fluffywuffy VS Drum Gods (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33410&highlight=)
As usual with a GDODAD world war, there was a lot of confusion in WWV. Was it even a world war? It was more like several medium-sized wars, all happening more or less simultaneously. It was also called world war four-and-a-half...
The Infamous Bubble-Bursting incident (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34368&highlight=)
In a whole lot of godmodding, Camdean claims he bursts the bubble with some of the worst RP'ing I've ever seen. Still, ours wasn't much better...The bubble is redesigned and is now an island in the south pacific.
Reform Proposal (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=35147&highlight=)
The GDODAD, seeing its loss of respect, proposes that it reforms. Overwhelming support is expressed for this.

IF threatens destruction. We don't really care.
Crimmond resigns (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37178&highlight=)
Crimmond resigns from The GDODAD.
Lots of confusion about WWVI (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44783&highlight=)
Again, WWVI was not so much one war, but many small wars all at the same time. There are far, far too many threads for me to do all about WWVI, so that one'll have to do.
Dominion Strong! (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54816&highlight=)
Drum Gods has proof The Dominion (note name change) is strong.
EOTED Vs DG (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53600&highlight=)
Ma-Tek and allies/puppets invade Drum Gods. Dominion defends DG.
DG annoys elves (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54231&highlight=)
After he "left" and came back, Drum Gods found that several nations had occupied his empire. This led to the war (thread above).
Ammerica war (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30232&highlight=)
Not official Dominion action, but many Dominion nations join in anyway. World shocked at The Dominion doing something "good".
Knootoss (I) (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=56050&highlight=)
Knootoss elects a dictator. SATO intervenes, Dominion asked to help.
War on the land of Nod (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=55480&highlight=)
A tiny nation takes on the billion+ nation of Nod. Laughable.
Billionth citizen (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=58625&highlight=)
TST reaches one billion, exactly.
When Gods Go to War (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=60859&highlight=)
The beginning of the Melkor war, ends with a decision to start again.
Melkor war Take II-Space front (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61833&highlight=)
Melkor war take II- naval front (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61937&highlight=)
Wombat News report-Melkor war (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61749&highlight=)
The Melkor war was eventually one, with the combined might of Arda and The Dominion. In the sea, massive enemy fleets were forced back by overwhelming ground and sea based forces, while in space dominance went back and forth.
Knootoss treaty (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71195&highlight=)
After an inconclusive set of skirmishes, and before escalation of an all out war, the Knootoss conflict is brought to an end by a treaty between The Dominion and SATO. The main thread seems to have disappeared somehow...
Steel Butterfly leaves (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=69984&highlight=)
Possibly the final nail in the coffin of The Dominion, a member of the inner tripod leaves, and The Dominion is crippled, never to recover...
And that is the most comprehensive history of The GDODAD ever done, and probably ever to be done. It has taken Dave, Minister for OOC Affairs, over four RL hours to do this. The threads go from earliest at the top, to most recent at the bottom.
I hope you've enjoyed it, and enjoyed yelling at us for one reason or another.

I'm a relatively new nation, since I've only been here for 4 months, so I couldn't offer much help. But as far as the idea goes, it sounds good to me. Maybe some of the older nations will be able to help out and get this going.

I don't have time right now, but I'll post what I can about the Amerigan Slaver War.

God bless,

The Republic of Syskeyia
