Proper Adjective for Nations
Honored Colleagues
In the interest of avoiding embarrasment and unintentional disrespect among ambassadors, I suggest publicizing the correct proper adjective that should be used when refering to entities from your nations.
If you wish to be included, please post the relevant information and I'll gladly update the list.
<EDIT>
As per moderator advice, the list will not be updated here. OMGTKK started an NSWIKI page which everyone edit. Ambassadors are encouraged to update the page with their relevant information.
I'll still monitor this thread and update the page accordingly.</EDIT>

This is a good thing to list in a NSwiki page somewhere, but not in an ongoing thread here. I recommend that you either start such a page or learn to live with the embarrassment.
Not gonna close this thread, but I recommend against it becoming some massive ongoing thing. Lists are better, and anyone can edit the original post in NSwiki.

I just checked the list. Neither of those are the adjectives my people use for yours, Kenny. :p

Wouldn't this sort of thing belong in Gameplay, and not the UN Forum?
When 2 of the 5 prior posts are from mods, you can safely assume that we didn't have a problem with its location.

We are known as Subistraticans... at one point in the past, it was Subistraticists. But that made us sound like we followed some sort of weird cult.
OOC: And the NS Wiki is being very screwy today... I've been getting problems with it exceeding "the 'max_questions' resource" both at my house and at school.

Sadly, the easiest way to work around that is to... hammer the site more by refreshing several times. Took me 3 tries to add my adjectives.

I think people are missing the post wherein Fris said not to list your adjectives here, because it's pointless. Just add them to the wiki - or are these yet more folks who read the OP and ignore everything after that? :rolleyes:

Three, lucky you. It took me about 10, and that was just trying to log in.
