New Nations: A Guide to NationStates

With the rise of new nations joining the ranks of NationStates, I thought I’d put together a list of the most common threads one should check out before diving headfirst into the NS world.

I hope this helps, and as always, suggestions are always welcome even via post here or TG to me personally.

Note: I know there are many threads such as this one for their respective forums, but I do not believe there is one thread for the entire game. Hence, my creation of this as such. I'm also not sure if this is the most appropriate place to post this, but since most new nations probably check out this area of the forum first, I thought I'd give it a go.

So what if it is? Does it really matter that much? If no one wanted the job, then we'd have problems. You should be happy that regardless of motive, TH is one of several helping to keep n00bs from developing.

I think the only thing wrong is, maybe TH should have made the thread title more user friendly...

Where would you suggest I post it, then, Roania?

Also, to the others, can we stop spamming my thread?

Another reason to rename it, because not all newbs are n00bs... Some of the veterans here still retain some of their n00bish qualities...

True. Though I'm not sure if there's a way to phrase it that would target both groups.

You really want to be a mod badly, huh? lol. I'm no N00b, and i never really call anyone that. I have been playing this game on and off since around 01. I can't wait when it will cost money to play. I'd even pay for this version or the old. It will filter out all the trollz, "spammers" ad godmods.

We could finally have an international community! We could get it all down on an official map. $5.00 will be well worth it. :lol:

Actually, there's no thread with all of these inside them from the different forums. Check before you speak. :wink:

This thread is definitely turning into one of those where people post about how they are beating other people up or jumping behind tables and other dumb stuff...
