Resurrecting Maxtopia?

I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, nor if it's already been asked, so my apologies on both accounts, but I was just wondering...

Would it be possible to resurrect Maxtopia?

Now, I know Max Barry is no longer playing it, so it would eventually sink back into oblivion, but in the meantime (with his authorisation) we would all be able to see what Nation #1 looked like. . . :)

Or perhaps it could be enshrined in it's own little region, and prevented from dying?

Yeah, it would be interestiong to see how he answered his issues in his last days and what he currency was and stuff. :twisted:

The region idea would be cool. :D

Maybe he should just start playing it again and set it up so he can't recieve telegrams.


except from special people like me 8) :wink:

'employers may fire workers without giving any reason'
'political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations'
'voting is voluntary'
'military funding has been stripped back'

Glad he agrees with my on what I used to consider the nost important of the issues. :twisted:

What about his currency, animal, motto, flag, and CR/E/PF?

I'd like to see it too. Especially his population...I wonder how big it is now...

Well... currency and animal are nothing special. Kangaroo or some such nonsense. Flag wasn't custom. Motto was something like "Really? Bandwidth costs that much?".

I can't see CR/E/PF without actually ressurecting the nation and looking at the spotlight.

And I will tell you no more! (not like there's much left to say...)

Oh, and Qaal... I disagree with you on the "proper" responce to the Corp Donations issue, but I guess that's not too surprising, heh.

Well....I'd hate to do this...but why not have Max bring it back and just disable telegrams? Not that I'd want to speak with him, but I'm really curious what he thinks of the newer issues, and the older ones too.

I mean, knowing his beliefs would be very insightfull. It would allow us to see a little into his mind. And since we can't know his current nation (for good reason), why not let us see his opinions on his old one?

Not to mention, having the oldest playing would be nice.

Ahh. I saw another nation with a motto like that once. Wonder if it was another Max nation. Of course, I can't recall who it was now.

Oh, you can see the customizable fields from the stored file?

And I will tell you no more! (not like there's much left to say...)What is left to say? . . . :twisted:

Heh, what can I say. I'm a socialist, you're a libertarian.

And is this like some mod conspiracy, ommiting the "o" when typing "Qaaol"? :lol: Hmm. . . :P

Of course. How do you think we change inappropriate mottos, animals, and currencies?

Actually, it's more focusing on omitting the 'u', that I forget to add the 'o'.

One of the reasons Maxtopia was killed was because it was used as a test nation, so had bizarre politics. More bizarre than usual, I mean. And people who saw it and knew who it belonged to wrote in asking, "How can Max justify these awful policies?"

Hmm. . . maybe we should run a campaign in Gameplay or Forum 7 to look out for a nation like that. Or wait, was that Teslandia I recall having that motto? It would make sense.
