I know you got deleted, but if you still read posts in this liberal fantasyland forum, then I invite you to look me up in the alt.spacebastards newsgroup. I think you and I would make a good team. I always liked your posts.

If you don't have a good newsreader then go to:

My handle is 'Xomicron'.

So Snubis, I have to ask you, now that you admit you were being a troll.. were you really as fanatical in your opinions as you let on? Or was it just an act?

Thanks!

Well, I keep posting this, but I'm Anthrus. Know why I was deleted? I was Brobrada.

Raysia got deleted? yay! :lol:

Yeah, I'm the one who caught you .. I was really surprised.. you were always so reasonable.. I have still never understood why you did that. Were you just bored that day? Or had you done it before and we just never noticed?

I did it before. I have a thread explaining my reasons for Brobrada somewhere. Let me pull it up

k, kewl.. but is this the real you now? Again with this nation you've been really reasonable with also.. or are you sort of like a troll like Snubis has claimed to be? Is this the real you? I'm just curious.. :P

Was Brobrada somewhat reasonable? I'll take that as a compliment, as I want to be a lawyer. Anyhow, this is the real me. I'm a conservative who lives in Upstate New York, not a militant anti American activist in Corsica. As for my reasoning, I hope this is helpful.

Long story short, I wanted to see who'd find me having a shread of reason. Just the inner lawyer in me, I guess.

Ok, so I think I understand it better now, it was sort of an experiment. I'm okay with that, it's too bad you had to do it at the expense of your main nation.. but your puppet was pretty brutal. I found you quite reasonable as Anthrus and I find you just as reasonable as Purly Euclid. I did not like your puppet to much though. Was kind of fanatical, but I guess that was what you were trying to do. I just hope you got it out of your system, I enjoy your input in many of threads I have taken part in. All is forgiven as far as I'm concerned of course I don't know if some people are a little ticked with you, but heck after all it's just a forum on the net. I just hope you stick to being you, you're quite likable when you're just being yourself :)

Peace,
Stephanie.

Thanks. I agree that I shouldn't have said that Americans are de-evolved, deserve to die, etc. But there's a little reasoning behind this. Most Americans are of European decent. I said early as Brobrada that the most famous de-evolved person was Constantine, our communal ancestor. It was certainly not outside the realm of possibility, as the Romans were all across Europe.
Then I claimed other things, like the migration to America was an attempt for highly evolved governments to dump their less evolved people. I was gonna say as Brobrada that America controlled the world through an undectectable radio frequency that subliminally made you think pro American thoughts, and claim that's what the Menwith Hill facility in the UK is for. I guess that would've been overboard. But like you said, I got it out of my system. And hopefully, I don't get the urge to pull crap like that again.

Repeated trolling despite warnings. He now posts under the name "Capsule Corporation."

Here's a thread about it, all jolly fun.

I saw the thread where Raysia was deleted. I have 1 thing to say, "Impeach Stephistan and Earl Warren"

Hehe and if the players had a say in who the moderation staff was, maybe you could..lol but since they don't.. no sense wasting your time. Just in case no one has told you yet, Nationstates is not a democracy. It's owned soley by Max Barry and we just follow his rules. You want him to change his rules... I suggest you take it up with him. I will have to warn you though that the last time I checked he was 9 weeks behind in email.. ;)

how come my trolls almost never get deleted in a firey mod nuking?
do i manage to walk the fine line of roleplaying and trolling, or am i just beneath notice, and minnow in the shark feeding frenzy?

The original staff kind of was chosen, at least indirectly so, by the players.

That staff then picked the others.

Save for people like Cogitation and Sirocco, who proved themselves by actually having programming skill.

I have no hard feelings against steph. She warned me fairly.

I just lost my cool and got 2 warnings in a row :P

And surprisingly, I wasn't arguing with steph this time! :P

i'm sorry that was pointless, wasn't it?

Umm you think so huh..lol Sorry wrong! But please try again. Sirocco has devolped some programming skills since he's taken on editing the "issues" I would like you tell to me exactly what "programming" skills Cog has?.. Salusa is our Tech.. there is no need for "programming" skills to be a moderator.. although.. some of us do have them yes. However, it's got nothing to do with being a moderator.

I think you're cofused.. may I suggest forum 7? LOL :P

Well this would explain it then. Now it all makes sense. It's your lunacy you see that causes you to have such an empty head and meaningless life that creates you to actually act like you're proud to be a troll. That it is your pass time to contribute nothing at all to the human race but your stupidity.

Actually, now that you mention it, I have a question. What idiocy have you exposed of mine? The most I've ever said to you is that you're a parrot because all you can say is that there's no seperation of church and state.

In all fairness I do have to agree with Snubis on one thing.. lets give credit where it is do.. no one more then Snubis has exposed his idiocy.

How would that make me a parrot?

I really have to explain it to you?

You know what a parrot is, right? You know how you can train them to say a few simple phrases. And once you do, they repeat those phrases, no matter what you say to them. No matter what you say, all they respond with is the same phrase that's been ingrained in their heads. They're not actually responding to what you're saying, because they really don't understand what you're saying. They're just repeated the same tired sayings that they've been taught.

Is that clearer?

I asked him, he never did answer.. but I did a little searching.. most of the political discussion he ever had was slanted to the conservative side liberal bashing.. so, I'm going to assume he really was a conservative.. but who really knows for sure. He also took part in a "furry" site as well. So who knows.. and no I will not explain what a furry is..lol you will have to look it up on google.. it's a little disturbing. :shock:

i looked on google, but i'm afraid to click on the links! :?

A furry is a person who likes dressing up as an animal and engaging in sexual activities with similarly attired people. They also ah...like naughty animal pictures a jolly lot.

FYI:

Here's where you can find out more about "furries" -- a term which has come to be used both for furry characters, and for the fans of them.

Several TV shows, including CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Jimmy Kimmel, The Man Show, ER, Drew Carey, and specials on MTV and HBO have featured furries. However, these depictions have largely been along the lines of "lookit the freaks" and are not a fair representation of furries or furry fandom in general. Have you ever noticed in TV coverage of a football game, how the camera often focuses on the few fans (out of a stadium of tens of thousands) who have painted their bodies in the team colors? Yes, furry fandom has its share of colorful characters -- but most of people who are fascinated by furries are not that different from the people you know at school, work or church who enjoy sports, gardening, arts and crafts, cooking, collecting, games, or any other hobbies.

What Are Furries?
You've probably seen many: they're the stars of greeting cards, TV commercials, comics and movies entertaining millions of young and old alike. In short, folks with fur... characters in literature, film, TV, comics, or roleplaying who aren't quite human. Examples in popular media include cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny; mythical creatures such as werewolves and dragons (the possession of fur is not a requirement of being "furry"); or aliens such as the Wookies and Ewoks of Star Wars.

But for some folks, the furries appearing in popular media aren't enough... so they seek out independent comic books like Steve Galacci's Albedo and Mike Curtis's Shanda the Panda. These long-running series deal with mature subject matter: the former, the personal and physical devastations of war; the latter, the ecstasies, agonies, and intricacies of adult relationships. And in fact, the only comic ever to win a Pulitzer Prize is furry: Art Spiegelman's Maus, chronicling the experiences of his grandfather in Nazi Germany, with cats cast as Nazis and mice as Jews.

Fandom is in many respects similar to science fiction fandom, but "furry" is a "meta-genre", since it cuts across traditional genre classifications of SF (the Wookies of Star Wars), Westerns (Feivel Goes West), heroic quests (Watership Down), and even sports (Animalympics).

Have you ever noticed in TV coverage of a football game, how the camera often focuses on the few fans (out of a stadium of tens of thousands) who have painted their bodies in the team colors? Yes, furry fandom has its share of colorful characters -- but most of people who are fascinated by furries are not that different from the people you know at school, work or church who enjoy sports, gardening, arts and crafts, cooking, collecting, games, or any other hobbies.

What Are Furries?
You've probably seen many: they're the stars of greeting cards, TV commercials, comics and movies entertaining millions of young and old alike. In short, folks with fur... characters in literature, film, TV, comics, or roleplaying who aren't quite human. Examples in popular media include cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny; mythical creatures such as werewolves and dragons (the possession of fur is not a requirement of being "furry"); or aliens such as the Wookies and Ewoks of Star Wars.

But for some folks, the furries appearing in popular media aren't enough... so they seek out independent comic books like Steve Galacci's Albedo and Mike Curtis's Shanda the Panda. These long-running series deal with mature subject matter: the former, the personal and physical devastations of war; the latter, the ecstasies, agonies, and intricacies of adult relationships. And in fact, the only comic ever to win a Pulitzer Prize is furry: Art Spiegelman's Maus, chronicling the experiences of his grandfather in Nazi Germany, with cats cast as Nazis and mice as Jews.

Fandom is in many respects similar to science fiction fandom, but "furry" is a "meta-genre", since it cuts across traditional genre classifications of SF (the Wookies of Star Wars), Westerns (Feivel Goes West), heroic quests (Watership Down), and even sports (Animalympics).

Heh, that MTV one was apoplexy-causingly wrong. I've gone out with a member of said furry subculture! She was patently not as they get misrepresented.

A furry is a person who likes dressing up as an animal and engaging in sexual activities with similarly attired people. They also ah...like naughty animal pictures a jolly lot.

Bullshit.Dude, she's not kidding. HBO's Real Sex did a piece on it. I'm tough to weird out and it was one of the most disturbing things I'd seen, even weirder than the Real Doll (and that's all kinds of effed up).

So I assume all Americans are like the ones I see in Jerry Springer? Gotcha.


I happen to like Real Dolls not too sure about the whole furry thing...

So tell me, what's wrong about furries?

It's similar to other rp problems, some people get lost in their character. maybe moreso because of cosplay.

Most of it's just innocent fantasy fun.

You need to be careful to thoroughly check out a fur group before wandering in there, some people are out of touch with reality.

Some Cons are wilder than others too.

Just like everything else on this planet then?

Hey, I don't judge any one for what they want to do.. it just appears to be a little twisted to me.. whether it includes sex or not. It's a little out there.

A Realdoll is a custom made perfectly anatomically correct lifesize doll.
