DO you ever shill your own threads?

do you ever come back on NS with one of your puppets to toss a little life into one of your threads that is falling flat? ever debate yourself with a puppet?

i'm noticing a distinct absence of our more viscious posters this evening. the "international zionist conspiracy" nuts and the michael savage wannbe conservatives to be specific. it leads me to wonder if many of them (in their own category of annoying) are in fact the same person who is away tonight or has perhaps been deleted.

have i been being annoyed by the same 1 or 2 people who have been shilling their own threads and filling other threads with posts as if there were bunches of people who agree with them?

Perhaps so Ashmoria. Do you remember The Snubis Incident?

Anyway, I've never posted with a puppet on one of my threads to keep it going, and the puppets I have posted with were not used regularly. I doubt anybody outside of a few regional allies has ever heard of any of my puppets.

Yes, it's illegal to have second countries too.


I have a few countries, but I only use one in the UN and on these boards (which isn't often anyway). Besides, this is my only country with my email in it.

You can have as many nations as you like, but only one in the UN. Parratoga had about 80-odd nations floating around before her mysterious disapearance.

Eh, why is it disallowed to have more than one country?

I've accidentally continued a debate with a puppet on a few occasions but I've always admitted it. Probably.

I do have a puppet I use for certain special occasions. It's been a while though.

Ehm, no.

the international zionist conspiracy guy was Tenete Traditions, if I'm not wrong, and he/she got banned for two weeks, again, if I'm not very wrong.

Cause it's cheating. you could vote yourself UN delegate, argue against yourself, and waste server space (since this game is to advertise Jennifer Gevernment, using more resources than your share without paying is cheating).

incidently I have no puppets - and when my threads trail of I just get sad, and maybe post on it a bit more than I should. :(

Of course if you just have puppets to do the issue thing, then noeone will mind much (except mods) but don't get caught.

I just want to say how impressed I am with The Holy Word's debating skills. Witty, erudite and always right. I bet he's incredibly handsome as well.
