If you had $1 for every post you made on NS what would you do with it?
I'd buy and sell y'all, but that's just me.

I don't have that many posts, so I guess I'd just dump it in my college fund. Or I could start a "my own car" fund instead.

I'd invest some of it, the rest I would use to subcontract people who could use my NS to post all day, for a small percentage of the dollars per post. Then I would use the profits from that to hire even more.

I'd be wanting to know what the hell the moderators were doing with the money from my posts that they deleted.

Another option would be to use the money to finance a NationStates specific version of ELIZA which would respond to threads in her typical fashion:
Poster: Bush is an asshole.
ELIZA: Why do you say that Bush is an asshole?
Poster: Because he lied about Iraq.
ELIZA: Why do you mention Iraq?
Poster: He dragged us into a war for nothing.
ELIZA: Does it please you to believe he dragged us a war for nothing.
Poster: No.
ELIZA: You sound very negative.
Thus my fortune would be made as NS-ELIZA did all the work, and I jsut lay back and collected the loot. Obviously a 'flame' subroutine and a 'semantics' subroutine would have to be added to the BOT, but I think that should be well within the capabilities of the program.

Every single megaman toy ever made would become mine.
wait that's a lot of money and I don't have many posts. How long is this offer open?
I'd save it. It's not too much.
Spoffin, on the other hand...can you spare a buck? :D
Well, as I currently am in the formation stages of forming a Limited Liability Company, I would use my money to as capital. As it stands, to purchase everything needed and get all research and development done - start-up costs are $59,404. :O I'm working on my fourth business plan for investors.. I havn't been satisfied with one yet so I keep starting over. -.-

And I would use the money to pay off some debts.

Who is ELIZA?
One of the first attempts at working towards a computer programme that could pass the Turing Test. I believe there were others that came before here, and shared some of her limited functionality, but it is the name ELIZA that has been passed down to posterity as the first functional attempt.

I don't think I would have enough to retire on quite yet! And anyway, I'd probably lose some of it on the exchanging it for money I could spend here!
I'd fill an empty swimming pool up with the money and skinny dip in it.

Score:5, Funny.
i would pay the rest of my tuition.
or at least half of it and keep the rest for myself.
I would definitely be spending some on I dont know. I could buy a mod, I guess.
Spam like crazy, and then buy tons of manga. (Just got Love Hina vol. 2)
Buy NationStates from Max
and constantly pwn the servers, because I KNOW they'll come running back after the servers come back online.
