Alright. I'm an idiot. With that out of the way..
I forgot my Nationstates password (for Chercheur) a little while ago. This nation was created solely to post this help request. I realized this when I accidentally logged myself out. After a few attempts at what I could have sworn it was, I figured I'd just get a new one sent.
Now, I have AOL. I figured AOL has problems, but when I signed for the UN it did ok. I had to resend it once, but it got through. This was probably two weeks back that the UN thing came through. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, my email seems adamant against letting this one through. I've resent my request over a dozen times in the past three or so days. And, I'm not getting a thing. As in, my spam settings are disabled, accepting from anyone, and am still checking my spam folder in case AOL decides to be AOL.
And given that I've requested a new password.. I can't even try to guess it anymore. Whatever it might be, I'd never get it, since I have no way of finding it out. (Side note-- are passwords case sensitive?)
Do any of you think I have a snowball's chance in hell at salvaging my nation? I realize I don't have a ton invested into my nation yet, but I don't exactly want to give it up. Is there an alternate workaround I'm not aware of? Lord knows, I want to just change the email address for the nation, but that requires being logged in. And I'm aware that without being logged in, it becomes a little more iffy to be sure I'm not just trying to steal my own nation. Or rather, a nation that isn't mine. But it is. My brain is sad.
Perhaps cry to a moderator/admin, along with a few bits of information? Not sure what that would be, but it can't hurt? There's not really a future for the poor girl otherwise, and I can't just abandon millions of people to a merciless slaughter!
I'd love a hand if you guys can offer one. This is one of the most interesting things going on the internet, but I'm much more of a one nation (or whatever..) guy. The idea of starting over is awful to me. Plus, what would my friends say? I used to be the big bad man, lording my size and greatness over them. (Relatively..) And now they'll laugh at me. My ego is very fragile. It has days where it can barely choke the life out of a room. :(
EDIT: Is there any way to use my AIM SN thingy tied to my old nation to help? Maybe with a really, <i>really</i> hard-working/compassionate/nice person willing to at least use that to track me down? It's a longshot.. but it doesn't seem so long compared to everything.
