Why don't most NSers check their "Telegrams" more often??

I always check my Telegrams. It does say on your nations main page if you have any. :p

Because no one ever TG's me and if they do I give them my email so I don't have to remember to check my telegrams. And I'm a forum addict.

I just don't get many. I'll get one occasionally...but yeah, I just check my issues and my tg's before I go to the forum (I get bored without issues).

Well I tend to check mine every two or three days. I mean, there's a link on the first page after you login so it's not that hard. I usually get one a day or so but my guess is people don't check TG's because they look at their issues first and then forget about telegrams.

Eutrusca, I feel like I may have helped start this thread. :D

I'm terrible at this because, like email, it feels like work. With 35-50 emails a day on the job, it just doesn't seem like fun.
Besides the forums, I try to use as little keyboard communication as I can get by with in life.
Telephones are always more appealing to me.

I was planning to send al the people ho are said for their tg'ness a telegram, but I'm too lazy.

Just think you got something like this:

Yay! I send you a telegram

Aaah, my good deed for the day.

Maybe there should be a chain TG.

How many can you store? 'cos I'm definitely missing some......

It's also weird getting random tags from unknown people.....I mean why is 'The mighty Tim' saying 'hey baby'?

I check my telegram box daily - however, unless it's related to the NS forums and moderately lengthy, I strongly advise people to communicate with me via IRC or PM on an offsite forum.

Because 15 is too short. (Although it's better than 10 *recalls*)
Lakren
27-02-2005, 23:13
I remember when my TG box used to get full and I'd have to delete some...

*oh, the memories*

i only check my nations a couple times a month, just enough to keep them from being deleted.

I always log in though the main site, before going to the forums...but i get TG's every now and then.

Because I hate one-sided conversations. I get all rambly and then people think I'm batty. And I prefer people to not find that out for at least a month or so.

Stupid TGs/emails/etc. I stab them. Stab them with my mind. Rarg.

Besides, most TGs I get are just people demanding I get on MSN, which I usually can't if I'm not already... or complaining about how I never reply to TGs, which is a pretty tricky thing to respond to. Plus I usually just log straight into the forums and ignore my nation entirely. I can't even remember the last time I dealt with an issue...

Invaders send lots of telegrams to eachother and I am sure that defenders do the same. It's just the people who are neutral or forum addicts who don't get any telegrams.

Oh, and I liked that Spartacus pepsi ad.

Well, I think it has more to do with the region I'm in actually USING a forum and the region board than anything else. Not exactly very many secrets in California...

I check mine before I get on the forum every evening. I only get TG's from my region mates, with few exceptions.

I check mine before I log in to the forum...I occasionally get one. Or three, as happened not long ago. I felt so loved.

I have about 6 or seven puppets, and I check all of them at least once each day. They all get 2 issues per day. :D

*gives many a cookie*

Yes, I'm afraid it is. Well, all that plus I'm just a lazy sod. I'll *eventually* reply... well, probably. If I don't you can just throw banananananaes at me on the forum. That'll learn me.

I can remember receiving ... three telegrams in my entire time on NS. *shrugs*

I check my telegrams every time I go on, because I use the link from the main nation page. I have fourteen at the moment, but I'm slightly annoyed about it. I used to have a telegram that was way over 100 days old, and I was cultivating it, realising that it was still a junior, and then I got two telegrams and it was autodeleted. I cried that day.

Anyway, there you go.
