Some Scary Stuff...

I was using Google and for some reason decided to look up Nanakaland. Now keep in mind that Nanakaland has been on NationStates on and off since March 2003 (recently resurrected by a mod last month). Now what's really scary is that I found 107 results on my nation! And I'm not even that popular of a nation. I know that all 107 are on me because Nanakaland is completely a random name. The most of a nation (with an uncommon name) I found on Google is Menelmacar, who gets 5,190 results (and just Sirithil gets 863 results). Well, I think it's just a little bit scary that NationStates nations are on Google...

[EDIT: Wow. Solopendra gets 14,600.

Now with some common names:

Catholic Europe gets 4,070,000 results and my puppet nation, Great Freedom, gets 15,900,000.]

So after reading this, I of course googled "Mistress Kimberly." The very first thing that comes up is a post of mine from yesterday. Ugh. And the rest....are either girls who make their own porn at home, or dominatrix's in London. Interesting.

First link to come up, my nation's home page thingy.

Only one result on google for CelebrityFrogs, and my computer could not find it (If that's how computers work???)

NationStates gets 849,000 results. I have yet to see a noncommon name beat that on Google, though.

Only 20 for me... :rolleyes: And some were things like "Jar Jar "***king Binks. What in Gods name were they thinking?" On star wars pages.

The (Latin) plural of dominatrix is dominatrices. Like the plural of matrix is matrices and the plural of appendix is appendices.

Sorry. I gave myself a good pause on that one...and then I just gave up and put that. :)

Apparently someone is named Colodia Owens....

What the flying ****?

However, the anglicizied plural of any word is always correct as well.

I got 55,700 results for 'evil woody thoughts.'

The first result was my Jolt user profile; the second, a post of mine on this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=372479); the third, my national info page.

The next seven had nothing to do with my nation; I admit I was lazy and didn't look past the first page.

Damn, I'm popular if my nation tops the first three Google entries for a subject with 55,700 matches. :D :D :D

I'm the only thing that shows up when I Google my name.:(

A whopping 39 results.

I have still yet to see a nation with a common name top Great Freedom, though.
Klonor

A shocking 217 results for 'Klonor.' Some, oddly enough, for a nation simulation game that isn't NS.

Weird.
Smilleyville
02-12-2004, 22:57
NEGATIVE RECORD!
Only 4 results, and each from NS!!
Sedia
02-12-2004, 23:08
My name, sedia (based on my surname) gives over 664000 results, but I'm not sure how common the name is in other language.

OTOH, my other nation, edsia, gives only 224,

A nation simulation game other than NS? There is such a thing? You must be out of your mind. Who would want to play any other nation simulation game?

I know!

It horrified me, too!
Aerou
03-12-2004, 00:03
37 results for "Aerou"

Some of them are strange.

I found a "song": http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/fab/fab059.htm that contains my name though, haha.

NationStates is the only true nation simulation game (or the only popular one). All others are heresy! ;)
Skepticism
03-12-2004, 04:47
Skepticism and "Nationstates" got 14,000 responses, but none that I could find were actually about me.
Northrop-Grumman
03-12-2004, 07:46
490,000 results for Northrop-Grumman

Of course, we all know what most of those results are for...
Xerxes Xavier
03-12-2004, 08:04
You'd think that the first result of 'Xerxes Xavier' Google got would be in that order of words...but instead the first result is some Heavy Metal band called Xavier Xerxes.

My nation is 3rd on the list.

548 for me, including someone from here who quoted me in his blog. I guess he didn't like my lack of support for legalized prostitution. He said something like "blah blah blah, incoherent train of thought, blah blah blah, people like this, blah blah blah."

That's the last time I do a vanity google.
Kellarly
03-12-2004, 08:50
13 results, all me! :cool:

It had to be that number though didn't it...grrr
Cannot think of a name
03-12-2004, 08:50
My profile topped the list for me.

What I was suprised by is that I didn't hit other forum users using that name. I don't do a lot of forums, or any, but I thought for sure there was at least one person who copped out when having to come up with a name on every forum.

Most of the hits where part of some ancedote about God and Adam...

Interesting. NSwiki pages tend to be higher on results than nation pages...
Silent Truth
04-12-2004, 00:27
My search resulted int this...

Silent Truth (Paris) is a 1986 thoroughbred mare by Silent Screen out of Honest I Do by Nashua. We plan to breed her to a thoroughbred.

and another website about deaf people's rights.

By googling my name, I found my first post ever on Nationstates!!

Way back on May 24, 2003.

Unfortunately, due to my demise and resurrection, the thread is now under 'guest'. But fortunately, my thread mentions my nation.

Let me set the scene a little bit. I was new to NationStates. I thought that the United Nations was worthwhile. More disturbingly, I thought the United Nations Forum was worthwhile! :eek:

So my post survived. Buried under U.N. compost for a year and a half. and here it is:

So in answer to the unasked question; Yes. I've always been this screwed up. :D

LOL. That's a battlemech. From the Battletech/Mechwarrior universe. It would kick an AT-AT's ass.

Especially if it had reflective armor. More specifically, it's a Mad Cat 'Mech. It can mount about sixty tons of weapons.
