Too Many Puppets?

Presgreif

Do you have puppets? Sure you do, we all do. Some of us have more puppets than others. Some of us have so many puppets, its hard to keep them all active. We all know how much time and effort must be put into a nation to make it truly magnificent. I'm sure we all have nations we love, but just can't dedicate any time to, due to work overload with our main nation. Sometimes, potentialy great nations, millions or even billions of people, just fade away, because their creator can't be bothered to keep them active. Don't let this happen!

The Greifan Empire now presents you with an innovative solution to your puppet woes. If you have a puppet which you can't be bothered with, but would hate to see it die out, transfer it to us! We will give your nation a good home within the Greifan Commonwealth, we will give it the attention it deserves, and most importantly, we will not allow it to die out!
Later, if you decide that perhaps you miss your puppet alot, and want it back, we will be happy to come to some sort of arrangement and transfer it back to its original owner.

Don't allow your nations to go the way of the dinosaur! Contact Presgreif today!

Noooo, Presgreif is a combination of words, Presbetirian, and Greif, the German word for Griffin.

Take your threats elsewhere, who cares about you and your opinion?

I have 3 nations. Two with 2 billion + populations and this one.
The other two are for role playing and this one is for general. I must admit that my other two have not seen the light of day for a while.
Gaspode the Wonder Dog
31-03-2004, 13:39
Some people use many puppets for roleplaying.
One nation is future tech, second modern tech, third elven nation, fourth whatever... I (the player) have two nations for that purpose. Just that I haven't RP'ed with this one yet. :)

I have two puppets that i made for RPing.
The trouble is i spend so much time messing around in General that i still have absolutely no idea how to RP properly.
So i don't.
Yet.

I only have computer access at work. Playing NS means that I do less work (cue moral indignation from capitalist whores), but at least I keep my sanity (just) and not to the detriment of my free time.

Although...

I live in London. I assume it's pay-per-view, because we don't seem to have it.

oh well, just for silly things. I made Gaspode because I wanted a Pratchett character; he started off in a Discworld region. I made The Evil Server because it was funny. I made the Wonder Kitten to amuse a friend (it later died). I made another one so that I could join the Rodent Alliance. and I have one or two others because I felt i was getting too stuck in male personas.
