That is quite funny.
Haha, If only I could do that to someone else. Or help someone with their computer, then make a link on the desk top to that goes to that URL. (after I would have introduced them to NS) And tell them the better and bigger their nation gets, the message will change :)

I was wondering how long this would take to find. Fortunately there isn't a security bug associated with it.

Sal, what is this exactly? And is there anyway to rig this to give yourself reminders?

My thoughts exactly; it'd be a lot of fun! :p

This is a tool for the game to pass simple (usually 1-time) messages to nations. To see it in action, try to login to your nation once with a bad password and then login with the correct one. At the moment, that is one of it's only uses (I can't recall the others), but I'm sure that we'll find others.

It got posted up a while ago actually.

Yes, I've noticed this a few times, and think that it is very useful for that - not to mention that the use above is quite funny.

Hmm... it does work with different words. But now how can we get this to work to say what you want it to, when you want it to? Having to click on a link doesn't exactly help remind you of anything, because you have to remember to click it in the first place...
Oops, sorry, didn't mean to double-post.
well, you could make a program to change your home page automatically. Then if you have auto login you could open up IE (or whatever) and it would show you your message. But I don't have a clue how to program.
You could have it set to say random things, at random times (If your kid is not suposed to be on it could say, "I'm watching you! Get off of the computer! I KNOW when you are on" or just the normal "Hey Stupid!")

Only in BASIC, and even then not very well, so I'm not going anywhere either. Can someone who has a clue about this post some pointers?
