NO NATIONS LEFT! YOU WILL HAVE RECEIVED A TELEGRAM IF YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED CONTROL OF ONE OF MY NATIONS.

Thanks.

I would take any one of the three. What I'd do with it depends on its status though. Are they modern nations, or future ones?
07-03-2004, 19:34
They are all modern ones. I don't want them going to someone who will neglect them though, especially not Monte Castello! I love that nation!

I'd like any one of them.

EDIT: And don't worry; I take good care of my nations.
07-03-2004, 19:36
Ok, when I said 'state your case' I didn't mean just ask for one. I would appreciate some sort of vision for them, why do you deserve to run them? I don't want them to be just run into the ground and forgotten.

I would like Monte Castello because it looks like it's been very well run and is right around the population of New Cyprus.

Ah. Well, I'm always looking to expand my empire of sorts, and having one would be a good way to gain a significant amount of strength. I would run it as I run any of my other nations; with liberal-libertarian ideals. At the worst, the longest I'll go without checking up on a nation is a week, so the nation will be in good hands. I might even use it to RP another side of myself.

My last post accidentally got posted before I was finished. But if you ever wanted it back (rejoined NS and telegrammed me or Monte Castello and could prove it was you) I would give you back the nation. I'd also like it because I haven't let one of my nations die yet, and I've even taken on friends nations who don't want them anymore, and they still haven't died!

Hey, I'd be glad to take one. Any one of them is fine.
07-03-2004, 19:47
hello, im a fairly new nation. But a little while ago i got a few threats of anexation i would like a large nation to prevent that. I would keep the nations as they are and improv on them in any areas that could possibly use a little help. I would recieve any of the three with utmost thanks. Also I have never left my nation unatended. I look at it every day, so your nation would be in very capable hands.

Ok, I'll say it again for people like Magnus Valerius. DON'T JUST ASK FOR A NATION, YOU WON'T GET ONE! Try to justify WHY you should have one. This thread will remain open for submissions for several days.

Well, if they're modern nations then I'd just use the one i got for modern RPs since my nations are both future ones. I can't promise what exactly I'd do with your nation, I'd just play it like I do mine.

Well, I'm an old nation, but I need more nations to set up some plans of mine.... I control 2 2bil+ and 1 1bil+ nations, but these nations are already engaged in other things, so I'm really looking for another 1bil+ nation. So taking control would be very useful to me.... And I think the fact that I have these nations show that I can look after them.

I'd want New Transylvania. I've been looking into starting a vampire-themed nation, and that would be a good nation to do it with.
07-03-2004, 20:39
People like spaam are the reason why i could use a large nation. I think that you shouldnt give any of your nations to people who have multiple large nations. You should give them to some people who either have only small nations or only have one mid sized nation. Those are my thoughts but you make the ultimate dissition. These are just sujestions. Please dont take them the wrong way.

I would be extremely interested in having the opportunity to manage one of these fine nations.

The nation of new-Transylvania initially caught my interest, given my fondness for eastern Europe (not just at the tacky, Dracula level I might add :D ).

However, a closer look revealed that the nation of Monte Castello, with its' corporate police state tag was closer to my concept of statehood, as established by my principal nation (Oshima & Izu).

As a ruler, I am committed to maintaing each of my nations, and unless it is completely appropriate, I do not subordinate the needs of one to another (in other words, I don't RP contacts unless there is a good IC point). Likewise, I understand your concerns about passing on such fine nations into the care of another, and would be happy to respect any instructions you left regarding their development. My view is, every nation created fro NS has a unique aspect, which in some cases has been carefully nurtured over a long period of time. That sort of commitment should mean something, and should be respected.

To wrap uo this rather long statement (!), I believe that I would be able to manage Monte Castello in a thoughtful, immaginative way, and whilst adding my own ideas, would be prepared to remain true to your vision.

Many thanks for the opportunity to present this case

Erm... I'm sorry about that blatant response. I should've read the thread. :(

Alright, if I were to receive one of the nations, I would be able to return them to you if you ever decide to return to NS sometime in the future. Of course, the nations might have gone through "Valerianisation" - they might end up as Reactionary states, unless Emperor Alexander I dies before the nations are accepted as Valerian colonies (which is very likely). If Alexander II, the future emperor, oversees the consolidation of the new colony, then they'll pretty much remain as is in terms of civil rights, but political rights might be reduced.

I would use one of your nations as an excellent opportunity for RPing and for the development of my own nation (in RP and technological sense). My nation's in the post-WWI era, and of course, if it 'conquers' one of your modern nations, it would aid me in modernizing my country, which is what I really have been planning for awhile. I just haven't come around a way to execute such a modernization as of yet. Also, the takeover would open a lot of other RP items that I could devise, such as perhaps a New Imperialism among Valeria.

Finally, I have taken care of my nations, as shown by my rather large nations and the rather nice number of nations I have. I never leave a nation unattended unless I want to get rid of it, and I wouldn't want to get rid of your nation; I understand keeping it for that long was a lot of work. I also have been around NS a very long time. My first nation was created around December or January, but I can't remember its name to revive it... I let my first nation drop because I did not know about RPing on the boards (so I lost interest eventually), and I had also a very unaccommodating schedule at school. I haven't lost any interest in NS at all since I started Magnus Valerius and started RPing on the boards, so I will not drop my nations and yours since it has taken time to grow them as they are.

Sorry- me again (Delta Phi Sigma- using my other nation as the connection hates me :D )

As an afterthought: I will be completely honest and state that part of my interest in maintaining one of your nations (specifically Monte Castello) is due to the possibility of becoming more involved with some of the Rp opportunites in teh forums.

I have noticed that many RP opportunities are denied or restricted to new nations, without regard to the ability of the owner to RP, to act sensibly etc. I would be extremely interested in having the opportunity to investigate some of greater challenges that derive from playing as a larger nation.

I would add to this that I am neither a warmonger or a godmodder, and thus have little time for new players who merely want to go off on a power trip, ruining other people's enjoyment. This is certainly not my intention!

One nation has been allocated to a new owner - he/she will take control when they reply to me.

New-Transylvania is NO LONGER available.

The two other nations remain open for the taking.

I am still accepting submissions.

I've finalized what I would use one for...New-Gondor would be preferred. I plan to model a large sect after the WH40K Imperium (an Empire in which the Emperor is revered as a god...it's all like a very deranged religion). I'd use them for a more interesting aspect to RPing both modern and future tech, which would allow me to expand my roleplaying abilities on the forum, and make opportunities for much more ineresting stories.
08-03-2004, 01:46
I'd take any one of them. I take good care of nations. I check nations one a week and I don't plan on leaving NationStates for another year or two. I'm also a good RPer.
08-03-2004, 01:47
I'd take Monte Castello.
Monte Castello
08-03-2004, 09:24
One thing I'd like to point out here is that New-Gondor is a member of the Europe forum of the region called Europe. I would be grateful if any nation wishing to accept New-Gondor keep this nation active in the Europe region and forum.

You know, I'd like to taake the one active in Europe. I dont normally RP (except for sports RPs) here, but I am very active on my region's offiste boards. I would need a nation in Europe, but moving any of my current puppets would disrupt what they are for - spying, investigating, the like.

In case you need to know, I have this 2b+ nation, two 1.5b+ nations and another 3 1b+ nations, and two 500m+ nations - which shows you that I do care about all my nations, and wont let them die (except two of them, one 500m + and one 1b+, cos I forgot I had them)

Your nation will not cease to exist, and since I am seeking to venture into other RPing regions, your nation would help.

Naturally I'm still interested (and sorry about the multitude of posts from both nations- had comp problems :cry: )

If I were given the job, I would be happy to keep MC active in both the region and forum- my main nation has recently been accepted within a forum, so I have some experience (albeit limited!), and I would be keen to see what Europe has to offer...

Right. I'll shut up now :D
