NationStates Active Forum-Nations Guide of Advice

TROUSRS
18-10-2003, 14:34
This is basically a guide with some of the active forum members and
what they are known for. You're just all lucky because I put links to the
nations. NOTE: This guide will only include nations that are famous for
something. The reason for this is so new nations that are interested in certian categories can contact these players and ask for advice.

Good Role Players
The following nations have shown exemplary skills in the art of Role
Playing. These nations are worthy of imitation (to a point as a role model)
They have proven that Good Role Play still exists.

Pantera: (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=Pantera)
An excellent role player, know to stay true to alliances, keep a level head
and be opposed to selling of nations. Also a good pal of mine.

AutoMagFreek: (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=AutoMagFreek)
Known to be an excellent role player who has created many good things that affected a large part of NS.
(Skyn00b..erm net SkyNet ;-)). He was a space nation for a while, then
came back to earth. He's one guy you dont want to get in the way of.

Little Danya: (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=Little_Danya)
Her original nation was Danya, but she gave it to AMF because she wanted
to start a different Role Play approach. She has a lot to say in the General
forum and is nicknamed Dani.

Diminix: (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=Diminix)
Yes, Good ole' dimwit. He owns his own successful RP forums and is a good
role player here on nationstates. He is known for interesting story lines
and insulting Intergallactic Hell.

Wolfish (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=wolfish)
Wolfish is one of the most Realistic RPers and has begun a string of proposals akin the the Geneva accords for NationStates

All Around Interesting People

Parratoga (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=Parratoga)
I have the most posts on all of Nation States. I'm rather imfamous for my worldview and am very well known on the General Forum as I've been posting there a long time.

Beeker (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=Beeks)
He does start interesting topics in the general forum. His main nation
was deleted for spam and flame, which he does on occasion. But that doesn't
stop his interesting threads from popping up.

north-Eastern Europe (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=north-eastern_europe)
A worker at the infamous Volcano, he starts interesting topics in the
general forum and is a proud Post-Whore who has made a total of around
15,000 posts 9,000 of which where deleted.

Invaders

Ackbar (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Ackbar)
Ackbar or Ack is the unoffical expert on invading and the most prominate non-griefing invader. If any invader becomes a mod it will be him.

Nothingg (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Nothingg) Nothingg is a bit less known, but the only other legal invader to use the forums with regularity.

Puppeteers

Corinthe (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Corinthe) is likelythe chief puppeteer and has roughly 80 nations.

Qaaolchoura- see Tech Forumers

Tech Forumers

Ackbar- see invaders

Cogitation:
Recently promoted to a moderator, Cog had been one of the most helpful people in Tech. Now that he is a mod he does not get on to help people quite as often, and it has fallen to Sirocco, TROUSRS, Qaaolchoura, and Ackbar to help pout n00bs, in roughly that order.

Qaaolchoura (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Qaaolchoura)
Qaaolchoura (Qaa, Qaaol) is a frequent poster on thte Tech and moderation forums. He has recently resolved to leave politics out of his involvment in NationStates except in his issues and the UN, and by private 'gram.

Sirocco:
One of the newest moderators Sirocco is the only Forum mod who helps out newbs at close to the same level as he did before his elevation to moderator.

Tactitical Grace- See Moderators

TROUSRS (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=TROUSRS)
Although inactive on the tech forum unti recently he has made up for it by creating several helpful Tech threads, and an RP sticky. Also a stickie in the UN forum on his old nation that he so genrously gave to Klamath. :wink:

Cogitation- See Tech Forumers

Sirocco- see Tech Forumers

Stephistan
Steph devotes most of here moderating time too the Sound and Fury section, and has taken flack for her political leanings (She is a Left-Leaning Moderate)

Tactical Grace
TG is the newest mod (about an hour newe than Sirocco), and also one of the best at making here prescence known. She is in all of the forums, and despite a 56k connection she manages to be quite efficient, although she now almost never helps newbies like she used to.

Game Moderators
Enodia
Enodia is the only Aussie Mod. HE will edit posts where you address him wrongly and make vague references to "the problems of Kitsylvania" while doing so. Spending most of his time in a dank dungeon zapping UN proposals, he's actually not too bad when you get to know him...seriously. Enodia tends to be more contactable by telegram, especially where the problem is proposal-related.

GMC Military Arms- ?

Karmabajian-

Melemecar-

Melkor Unchained-

Neutered Sputniks
Neut, or Nutty, is the game mod whom has attracted the most vocal opposition, largely because he admits to certain unpopular actions such as the Deletions of Satan and Beeker (And Klamath I Think), and is very ruthless and efficient. Though is one of the most active moderators.

Reploid Productions
Rep Prod the Mod, has a sense of humor that is not evident af first glance, and has created several threads poking fun at mod haters. She is also the forum admin [repliodproductions]. BOW DOWN TO REP PROD THE FORUM GOD!!!

Scolopendra-

The Most Glorious Hack
Hack was for a long time a forum mod (and a damn good one mind you), and is the only Game mod who has a pattern of granting positive requests that should be reported via getting help page that are reported on the forum. One of the most placid mods, but he can and will be firm when needed.

The SLAGlands- (where should Slaggy's bio go?)

(I made this about 2 weeks ago and just remembered it..I went blank on
any other categories or people. Please help!)
Enodia edits things compulsively when they aren't right

Where do you think that Konania and Loop belong?

But otherwise, probably just generally helpful people

More RPers

Wolfish (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=wolfish)
Wolfish is one of the most Realistic RPers and has begun a string of proposals akin the the Geneva accords for NationStates[/url]

Bonstock (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Bonstock)
Bonstock is the primary anti-communist RPer.

Isla de Penquitania (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Isla_de_Penguitania)
IDP is the primary anti-imperialist RPer.

The Resi Corparation (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=The_Resi_Corparation)
Resi RPs as staunch capitalist with territories on Mars, and is also very helpful to new players.
TROUSRS
18-10-2003, 15:55
I'm looking for extraordenary RPers. Bonstock, Resi, Wolfish, and myself are all average.

Maybe you could think of a bio on Melkor.

The SLAGLands:
[Something about his sense of humor]
Qaaolchoura
18-10-2003, 16:00
.Melkors bio is easy. "EVIL" :twisted:

As for Slaggy, yeah that is obvious, he is also a member of the Trimiverate, but I want more info on him then just those two things.

Oh well.

The SLAGlands (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=The%20SLAGlands)
Fampous for his hilarious RPs, Slaggy is a member of the Trimiverate of Yut, and so popular, that he could likely delete half of the people on NS and get away with it. Slaggy is the official grammer guard of NS.

Edited beacue Qaaolchoura is a bad speller, which reminds me. . .

Thanks for the inclusion, and the not intended nudge that I need to be a bit more helpful to the newbs in the Tech forum. Not to compete with the others listed, just that it is important to serve when you can, Karma and all that.

Also, I think [violet] and the other guy in [] should be mentioned (sorry can't recall the name within the []).

I will try to think of others whom deserve to be mentioned for both their regularity and the content of their posts.
