How do i find out exactly how long i've been playing NS because i sure can't remember and i can't find it...maybe it could be put on your nations "home page" (or whatever you want to call it) in the future

If you were never deleted for any reason it would be on the xml page.

Your forum profile is also rather accurate (if you've never been deleted):

Actually, I don't think that works if you're older than a certain date. Possibly the move to Jolt? I've never been deleted and I checked some of my older puppets too. They all have 0 set as the founding date. But the Forum Date works.

I thought it was the forum date that was screwed up. :confused:

Anyway, you can guess at the basic age of your nation based on the population. 500 Million is equal to about 3 months. But it's not always accurate. I hit 2 Billion earlier this week, but my anniversary isn't for a few weeks yet. And I think Tuesday Heights said that she hit 500 Million in about 2 months.

P.S. - My XML feed works.

I've got a rather large gap between puppets, but July 03 ones show no founding date. So... anyone remember something happening between July 03 and Feb 04? :)

Odd. I haven't ever been deleted, and i'm at 4.3 billion people. It also shows 0 days as my nation's age.

I'm fairly sure that's because your nation is so old, it was created before the game started logging birthdates.

If I recall right, some of or one of the economy calculators give you an age in days but I'm not too sure ...

Sunset's does. But I believe he's estimating based on your population. Forum date is more reliable in general.

And Myrth's right, birthdates weren't recorded until... summer of '03 or so.

Is it just me, or do you get just a little worried when you see an Administrator say something like that?http://67.18.37.15/html/emoticons/ninja.gif

Well, Hack isn't an administrator, but I get pretty worried when I see anybody say that. :mp5:

Does anyone know where in the XML text I can find where it says how long ago I was founded. It doesn't say.

Yeah, I get a Founded: 0 too.
Still, I already know my birthdate- 12th March 2003. Still have my Welcome to NationStates telegram, I think.
