An Odd Real life occurance

1 Infinite Loop
12-12-2003, 05:31
Ok the other day I was at the Mall, and over heard a dude talking about NS, well when the oportunity presented itself I introduced myself and said Hi, as a fellow NS player, he asked my nation and I told him,
Infinite Loop, and he immeadiatly started berating me, for being a pr*ck and an A***ole, saying he has seen my flags and id I have the ability to make such wonderful flags, then why the H*ll do I not share these powers, why do I only make flags for myself .

I was kinda shocked, and said, Dude, have you never seen the factbook for the East Pacific, or even the forum, in the Tech Forum, I have a thread stickied where I amke flags for folks, on the EP factbook I have the link for the Flag service in the Ep Forum, He called me a liar, and stormed off, saying he would get me for being so selfish, myself and the clerk he was talking to watched him, he went to , of all places, Hot Topic (lol).

funny aint it how someone can be so very ignorant in real life and still retain an assumed aire of superiority, I seriously doubt anythig will pan out of this but perhaps it is a reason why Max does not endorse the Nationstates Meetup thing, heck my meetup got cancelled as Im like the only person in town who was interested in it.

That is funny. I haven't met any random NSers yet.

Wow Loop...that's amazing. Your probably the best known and most respected flag maker on NS. And yet he doesn't know that you make flags for other people?

Do I smell n00b? :roll:

Don't worry buddy, we love ya! :wink: :lol:

That is a bizarre story. :shock:

I have stumbled across a few people talking about NationStates... always fun. Of course, then they never believe I'm me. :)

My meetup got itself cancelled too. Not that I'm drastically annoyed, since it was on the other side of town on a day when I'd be transport-less and trying to get to a friend's booze-athon...er...party.
Then again, there aren't that many NSers in Brisbane, so perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised.

You should look at the region I'm in .. even though I'm not from Adelaide, the founder and atleast one of the other people there are.

And after just telling someone else not to advertise in Tech, too

Wow, Loop, that is really insane. At least it's funny as all get out. Did he tell you what his nation name was (don't post it here if he did, just curious).

I've thought of the Meet Up idea for a while, thought it would be interesting. Unfortunatly, it would likely be the format to prove I am far more boring then ever anticipated, so I haven't really looked into the idea anymore.

There are certainly some nations I would enjoy meeting, some nations that amuse me for sure.

You mean there are nations out there who know who [violet] is, other than the mods?

They could answer the eternal questions of who you are... this is a revelation.

Or do you delete them afterwards, to protect your secret identity? :wink:

That's an interesting story. Just goes to show that some people really are as stupid as they appear. I think you certainly showed a fair amount of restraint, though. If it was me and some random ass started being smart with me, I'd be all over him - declare war on him IRL :evil: , and bring on the pain!

My God! I knew Loop made maps from the first day I joined NS! How doesn't this idiot know that? My God, what an idiot! I doubt anyone will ever find out who violet is, either...except the few idiots who didn't believe her...I feel sorry for them.

Or just mess around with their nation. Move them from region to region, change around currancy and animal, motto, give them bad issues. Just have fun with them. :lol: :wink:

That's... interesting, loop. While you haven't got the nicest rep everywhere, that has nothing to do with your flags! In fact, this is the first time I've heard of someone not liking what you do as far as they go.

I wish I knew someone in RL who plays NS though, even if it's a weird encounter like that. I always talk about it to my friends and it bores the heck out of them :?

Good thing, or you'd be unable to sit down without squashing their faces as often as not. :P

I got that from Dilbert

Or in my case, I would try to weasel the secrets of NS out of you, and when I couldn't, storm off.

The only NS player that I know personally is Larune, and I introduced him personally.

Wow, Loop, do you think the person was a functional illiterate? The forums and the boards are filled with posts offering your services (I noticed other nations are pretty free with your time), thanking you, or asking you to tweak something. Then again, there's always the possibility of better living through chemistry . . . :roll:

And what do you think I'd do if someone started being an ass to me?
Well, Salusa, those of us who read the Moderator From Hell thread are all a-quake just thinking about it. :shock:

he said it but I forgot, although I do suspect he may have been one of the two nations flaming me via telegrams the other day.


You mean Flags, Loop doesn't make maps.


Actually I did, that is how I got started, although it was a long time ago,
however I do believe that map is still clasified by the region I made it for.


That's... interesting, loop. While you haven't got the nicest rep everywhere, that has nothing to do with your flags! In fact, this is the first time I've heard of someone not liking what you do as far as they go.


?? can you elaborate on the Underlined part please?

I'd think it would be obvious. From time to time a n00b throws a fiit when you kick them out for endorsement swapping.

Never mind that you let them back in after the update, a thing which you are certainly not required to do, they find themselves unable to become new Francos, and it galls them.

They therefore accuse you of being the original Francos.

Sure, and Napoleon was the original Hitler. :roll:
