Very smart! I was about to suggest this myself...

---Post deleted by NationStates Moderators---

Well, that's one way of handling things, heh...

Are you going to do this with all the other forums?

Already been done in NS.

Tech had 4 Announcements, and 4 Stickies, with 1 more pending. It was getting a little obscene.

Argh, you have foiled my masterplan of having the entire first page of the Technical Forum be nothing but Sticky's!

Step 1.: Create lots of technical topics, and get them stickied.
Step 2.: ?!?
Step 3.: PROFIT !!

Hmmm.

Now what if I were to create my OWN list of non-stickied topics that are interesting enough to have sticky's? Would that get a sticky? Or would that eventually merit a stickied list of lists with topics that should be stickied if only we'd have first-page space for them? :D :D

I agree with Ballotonia, I think the images should go. If the mods will let you, you can recreate this hilarity in another thread, but the images should not be kept in a reference thread like this.

"Think about it for a moment."

...

"She started it"?

I keep forgetting, is Scolopendra male or female? If female, then why did she use this image?

It looks very masculine to me, so I'm a bit confused.

Yes, but Scolopendra also RPs as Zero-One...whose leader is female.

Scolo is male... :| ... erm... I think he is...

Scolo is male, not that I know that first hand or anything. I swear I was drunk... :lol:

*folds its arms and snickers*

Goodness, I enjoy messing with people's minds. And hijacking my own threads.

--Hearty Aerospace Pirate Cap'n Scolo

I have the answer!! Here's a copy of Scolo's first post:

::<Open Titan YutLink>::

YET MORE COLONISTS ON TITAN

The ever-more increasingly inaptly-named Triumvirate of Yut has accepted another new nations to the Titan colonies. After the acceptance of LaRhiannon to Titan, Scolopendran scientists discovered that the additional food resources expended by the additional population would deplete current stores within three decades. To prevent this, the Principality of Bezerker was allowed to leave its less-than advantageous location in the South Pacific for the equatorial regions of Titan. There, Bezerker's traditionally extreme amounts of food overproduction could be used to maintain Titan's expected population growth until our terraforming projects make topside agriculture more successful.

Supreme Emperor Kommetrez of the Federation of Scolopendra had this to say at a regularly announced press conference: "The Triumvirate of Yut will probably not be accepting any more requests for moving to Titan in the near future because of our miniature population explosion. Rest assured, however, that Titan is still open to tourism and once our resource production/consumption ratios level out we will once again be looking for brave, pioneering souls who want to be on the cutting edge of Saturnian system colonization."

It has been noted by Jaynez Defense Review that Titan is arguably now one of the best-defended locations in the entire solar system now that it has three major military powers co-protecting an area of little interest to anyone else.

SCOLOPENDRANS ANNOUNCE PROPULSION SUCCESS

Scolopendran scientists have declared their experiments in gravitic propulsion successful. Current reports estimate that their new civilian-consumption gravitic drives to be capable of up to 20 gravities of constant acceleration with no adverse effects to the cargo or crew of vessels.

::<Close YutLink>::

I have boldened the appropriate word. He was an emperor therefore scolopendra is a male!

Myrth has an Empress. That doesn't make me a woman :P

Besides, there was a complaint that nations were sucking up to Scolo because she was a female and that Scolo was playing along with it and 'spamming up the forums' :roll:

Having an emperor doesn't make Scolo male. Keep in mind that SHODAN is female, after all.

So, since Scolopendra has managed to RP successfully as both genders, I can't really make an assumption.

Were important threads ever in danger of deletion? And if so, would putting them in a separate forum still hosted on NationStates.net protect them?

Some threads relate to Technical, some to roleplay (International Incidents), some to United Nations, et cetera. It makes sense to me to keep it like it is.

Great post, thanks. That said, kinda of wish you had locked this one Scolo... not hating on you, good post, and thank you.

I think it should have 'now featuring GDP calc' on the end of the topic name so everyone knows where to direct people asking about it.

each day we see new classement in the world, can you add the list of all classification types ?
for example today is : Largest Basket Weaving Sector

(sorry for grammar, i'm a french speeking)

That would be a job for someone. Note down all the various UN rankings.

Question on image hosting ~ are images from geocities.com and freewebs.com forbidden or something? I decided fix some stuff in my storefront, and laboriously uploaded a whole bunch of images onto geocities. That didn't work, so I tried freewebs, and it still didn't work... :? :x

Any thoughts? I know I did the link tags correctly, so is there just some sort of restriction on those sites, maybe?

Possibly. Try www.imagestation.com or www.villagephotos.com

Okay, I must be really stupid because I just can't get this GDP calculator to work. I wanna specify what my population is not get some random figure for it which is totally wrong.

So my population is 954 million and I tried typing that in the brackets for specifying population after my country name but it didn't work it just came up with another page which had a warning message and saying that I no population and no money.

I must of really screwed up so can you help me out?

Replace [number] with how much you want to change the population by (eg 100000, -900000000). A + is not required to add, but a - is to subtract (duh :))

I got it to work for which I am grateful but the bit about the equipment is that the amount I can buy or the amount I can maintain within the military budget?

I don't think they'd add that one thread at its current stage. Once it's completed, and the member starts a new thread on it displaying the information s/he gathered in a neat organized fashion, then it would be added.

Right now it's not worth much, and you have to sift through posts to get the information.

Just my thoughts, so take it with a grain of salt. :)

I'm thinking a provisional "sticky", much as yours is (or was, it looks like [violet] may not revive the old one), for the time being.

(although I really don't see how this belongs here at all):

Premade "Make Me Founder" response:

The mods no longer accept requests to be made founder of a region on the basis that you have had plenty of time to ask since they first said they'd do this.

<except without the empty-region, refound text, since you probably can't convince that many nations to refound a region>

Your region should be fairly safe, though, since a region that big should have a well-endorsed delegate.

Doesn't really matter. I was just blabbing off.

Is 'Frightening' or 'Widely Abused' the highest rank on the civil rights scale? If it's 'Widely Abused', then how come I've never seen a nation with it?

From the sticky:

Edited by Scolo der Game Mod for Level 15 Civil Rights (Widely Abused, as evidenced by Freebodnik IV

I've looked through a number governments, mostly restricting myself to Anarchy types, and have not found anything higher then World Benchmark, Excessive, or Frightening (which I presume is the correct order) in Civil Rights. Of course, Civil Rights having just 14 categories seems a little off, so I will update if I am notified/find another missing link. On the flip side, there is also a possibility that I have made an error in the other two columns. :?

Well... Freebodnik IV is down to "Superb" now. And, to be perfectly honest, I've never seen "Widely Abused" for Civil Rights before. When we were beta-testing the Jolt site, we had free reign over our nations, because it didn't make much of a difference, so I played around with my stats in the Mod Centre, and I could never get my Civil Rights above Frightening.

Meh. I take Scolo's word for it, but I've never seen it, myself either.

It's great, except for the fact it won't process my antion because my host 'region is too big'....

OK heres my question:

Im going on vacation for three weeks and I've been off of Vacation Mode for approximately nine days. It said in FAQ that u get deleted if you're not logged in for 28 days. So if I'm logged in but don't do anything for 28 days or more I get to stay???

I belive your connection times out in 5 minutes or so... easiest is to just switch to vaction mode, and then you get 60 days instead of 28

Could anyone explain why I have been sent the same issue twice in 10 days, even though I made a decision the first time round?

Any help appreciated, thanks!
