I'm guessing someone named Josiovich (sp?)

But I'm wondering what the admin would be doing...besides staring at this guy's every move

Heh...kinda hard to make two UN accounts on the same IP then huh?

Probably a shortly-lived test nation to see if the base coding worked properly.

[Violet] was the first account created, but I'm not sure whether there was ever a nation attached to it. I can't remember the name of the first nation created by someone coming along and signing up, but someone will know.

Try bringing up [Violet]... no country displayed.

Nor is there any nation named Violet or Violer. It's possible that the first nation still exists, in which case finding it would mean locating the nation with the largest population.

[violet] still exists, and is an admin but there is no nation attached.

I read very recently that it was Violet, not Lucy, who pulled the football away from Charlie Brown at the most opportune moment.

Nations and forum accounts are seperate, though. It's plausible that [violet] was never a nation.

Population bug is the reason his population is so big.

ok... were you active in forums then? i remember the wars between "The Evil" and "Pure Evil" as to who could use Mars as a test ground for their biological specimens... then there was the three way war between *some ppl who dont matter any more*... ah the days when i was the only international arms dealer... :-) selling to all sides in the same war was fun :-)
how about you... what do you remember?

Had a look on that list. I'm apparently #3048 oldest active nation.

Yeah, from the early days... I remember a server that wouldn't allow you anyway near the game to begin with. I wasn't too involved in great wars and such, but I do remember when the II forum was created. The first mods. The proposal list in the UN that used to be 50 pages long with proposals like "Who stole my pizza?!?"

I can't even go back to look at my posts, almost all are deleted. :( The ones who survived, well, those are in stickies and such.

Funny things when you add mods to a site like this: all of a sudden you have lots things going on that wasn't really there before. I'm thinking about phenomena like Count Dickula and such, who obviously only come back because they're going to get deleted...

That's so true.

so true, so true...

but the mods are now too entrenched... and it did get pretty bad before...
11-05-2004, 12:31
Ah, to remove all mods now would clearly be impossible, although it would be a nice experiment!

I have had this thought for a while now: What got really better in the forum since the mods arrived?

First, the moving of threads is a good thing, but it doesn't matter too much, because malplaced threads sink fast.

Second, the purge of the proposal list in the UN. It came a little late for me, because I lost interest in the UN before the purges started.

Third, I can't think of any third. People are flaming just as bad today as before if not even worse just because there are mods around. The mods haven't been able to change the manners of the players no matter how many players they have deleted. The removing of tubgirl and such pics is of course good, but those pics rarely travelled across the forum before the mods arrived. When they did, [violet] fixed it. I have no interest in invasions, so I can't judge that part of the game.

Feel free to comment.

well invasions didnt exist before mods either... you couldnt get them to work properly then (or now truth be told)... (i have no interest in them either)... i never saw go@tze or tubgirl on this forum until mods arrived... UN well considering you cant remove a UN proposal once it is in force i quit... after all the socialist nations took it over... (does anyone who is currently a member of the UN know that slavery is compulsory for anyone on an income of less than 100,000 USD? That air is charged for? that it is against the law to have welfare? That all nations MUST maintain a stockpile of at least 10,000,000 nuclear warheads at all times?

Those were the days, when we controlled the UN :-)
