Weird Nation Names

31-10-2003, 22:26
How come some people have bits at the start of their name that are not in the list?

e.g. The Furry Corporate Paradise of Bushytails (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=bushytails)

A long while back, some nations discovered a loophole in the coding that allowed them to rename their @@TYPE@@. It's been fixed now.

I think it would be quite nice to be able to change this.

It will be soon for large nations.

Hmm...Skeletor Unchained (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_region/region=the_mod_wannabes) seems to have a custom title and a pop of 7 Million. I'd think if the loophole was fixed a while ago, he'd have a bigger pop. And mods aren't allowed to change titles on other nations anymore. :?: :?:

How large? My nation Clonetopia (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Clonetopia) recently passed the 1 billion population mark.

500M or 750M are the probable amounts...1B is over either way ;)

My next best is Caveymen (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=Caveymen) with almost 700M

I've got 914 million, and I'm my largest country.

The only other one that would have a chance of qualifying is -The Prophet-.

If I still had FunkyMonkeyLand it would have a massive population. Now I feel sorry I let it cease to exist. (I now use New FunkyMonkeyLand (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=New_FunkyMonkeyLand)).

You can have it resurrected if you post a request in the Getting Help Page.

For real? Do they have them stored on back-up or something?

Yes.

Where is the "getting help" page?

Now I just need to think of an RP reason...hmm...

I don't think the population grows while its not in exsistence though

Good point. I don't think I'll bother.

If we really can change the bits at the start of nation names I'm going to have to start thinking for Clonetopia!

I'd just like to bump this one. Hack commented that mods aren't allowed to change the titles on their puppets, so if the loop has been fixed, how does this title exist?

Unless of course this nation has been resurrected from back when the bug existed... but 8 million isn't enough for it to have died out

I'm looking into this. I'm thinking that I missed something from earlier.

Is this new title system far along in the process of being completed? Or can't you tell me that......
