NationStates Jolt Archive

I wanted to create a nation, but as always I check the name first. Oh joy, it is unique :cool:
But when I wanted to create it, it was already reserved :confused:
I tried again, because I have no life anyway, and it turns out to be unique again. Is this some kind of glitch? I really want this nation, because there is a region named after it. Don't ask me what the name is, because you would like to have it too :P
I am willing to telegram the name to a moderator, if that will help.

You can telegram it to me if you like, I'll have a look and try and see what's up.

Done :)

I really want to have that one.

There's currently a glitch whereby a small number (~20) of nation names show up as being free in the name checker, but when you try to actually create the nation you get told you can't because it's reserved. This is a bug in the Nation Name Release Program (TM) I'm implementing, which will free up old nation names for re-use.

I expect to solve this very soon.

Finally they're gonna be released! :)

Let's just hope that nobody takes that name, before I can. It was just funny that I could create that nation. Just a pity that it doesn't work yet. Many have been created already, and I've got my fair share on them. No real harm done. ;)

You are already to late, if you haven't created any yet :D

Apparently the problem is that while the name is free in the game, it's used by a pre-existing Jolt forum account. I'll see what we can do about this.

Thanks. It just happened to me as well.

That is one of the problems with having Jolt host the server. I like the speed, though.
