I'm sure Mr. Barry would be happy to know that he has such a great champion in you. The site is really great, I must say!!!

I know 3 persons that have more than 250.000 puppets each.

Nah, you're right. Great success.

We are all Max Barry's puppets.

but yeah i hear they are gonna charge a fee for NS 2. I hope they have a less strict set of rules if they are going to charge us.

NationStates2 will have a fee when it's released. Around $5 a month.

By viewing this website, I'm inspired to buy his book. He is making money off this site, and shouldn't be charging for it. I sure as hell will not be paying $5.00 a month to view a website when there are quite a number of others out there.

Yes sir the site is the best and fun

Perhaps not directly (the ads on the forums fund Jolt rather than Max's pocket), but definately indirectly as marketing for his writing. He's established himself a nice niche as a cult writer thanks, in part, to the success Nationstates.

I use several ad based free services ... Including YAHOO, BATTLE.NET, etc...

There is always some stupid Kids who complain about the ads...

I wonder if they prefer to pay 5$,10$ or 20$ a month.

The Super Bowl is Ad bases...thanks God...i would not like to pay some $100 to wach it.

Cult is right. The book is holding down the number 7000 spot on Amazon. They bundle it together with _Syrup_ and sell them both for less than $20. This will probably get me banned right away, but I read the first chapter and it isn't something I'd buy. NationStates is kind of a clever marketing idea. I wonder if it pays for itself?

I hardly think you'd be banned for simply expressing your taste in books. I did buy JG, and I did enjoy it, but it's not the kind of book I'd reread just for the sake of it.

He is making money on his book that I bought it was 12.50 and from that money he gets %12 of the cost of the book


I also wonder if he pays for this site>?<
