NationStates Jolt Archive

Hello there Nationstates community, this is my first post here, don't be alarmed.

The Real Lives simulation (http://www.educationalsimulations.com/) is in a ton of schools already, and it is based around real world countries. Maybe if you got your dev team together with theirs, you could produce a fictional nation simulation with much more details, and it would definitely be a push forward for Nationstates.

What does the community think?

That it's not going to happen, not least because NS doesn't have a dev team (at least, not much of one).

That, and from what I gather from the Real Lives website, it's rather boring.

In a game ideas thread in General awhile back, someone proposed a life-simulator game that seemed rather boring until we jazzed it up with attack chickens...

OK, OK, back on track. Simulating one's life, especially the average, boring Joe Schmo, is not half as entertaining as simulating the real-time growing of grass, which in and of itself is not a fraction of the entertainment value that simulating a nation is. Or a drug-addicted, out-of-control twenty-something celebutante.

That said, if we had any means to further the NS game, NS2 would be alive and well right now, and I would probably have money debited from my account on a regular basis to pay for the game.
