I was wondering what everybody does on NationStates besides answering issues and voting on UN proposals.

I know that I can't draw any conclusions from this poll, because I ask it in NS General, so only the people who read NS General will answer. But I'll give it a try

Poll coming up!

Actually it's my cause for insomnia. Too drugged with NS so that I can't sleep :p

It's 1.30 AM here.

I RP... take care of my nations... socialize and meet interesting people i would just love to meet... and have limited discussions about RL, but let's face it, the subjects keep coming back so i don't feel i need to post a thousand times my opinions.

Is Chiati a white wine? And what're fava beans?

What am I doing on NS? Good question! Primarily trying to inject a bit of logic and reason into some of the discussions on General, and maybe ... just maybe, convince a few that they need to broaden their horizons beyond parotting ( or rebelling against, which amounts to the same thing ) what their parents and/or teachers have been filling their minds with.

Hmm, I think it's one of the best ways to die: Being the meal of Cogitation. Let's break a rule ;)

On the other hand, I don't want to give Cogitation an indigestion, now do I :p

Chianti is a variety of red wine.

Chianti is a kind of wine. Fava is just a type of bean.

This is also meant as a reference to a fictional character named Hannibal Lector, or Hannibal the Cannibal.

May I suggest the mint & vanilla bean ice cream w/ chocolate for afters? :)I didn't actually watch the movie, so I'm not famliar with this reference. I assume it from the same movie.

Nope... it's just what I would eat after a meal with chianti, given my druthers.

Of late, a lot of lurking and laughing or despairing.

Discussing RL politics in General and Moderating; also being goofy.

Fluffling, however, is NOT my raison d'etre.

I'm wondering, since NS is sleep depriving, is it healthier than those hallucinogens? :)

This place keeps me sane in RL, by allowing me to vent my insanity here. CACTUS!

I tried some RP with this nation but got largely ignored, so I pretty much gave up on that. So I've just come here, hopefully to hit a few people with chairs! Um... I didn't say that. Don't watch your backs.

I RP occassionally with my ns nation on the ns/II forums, equally occassionally RP on an offsite forum with the same nation, discuss politics/philosophy/whatever on the general forum, and socialise, but rarely/never fluffle.

And I still want to kill -9 whoever invented the "fluffle" smiley. We should replace it with a Volcano or something.

But seriously, where's the "run an encyclopedia about everything in the game" option? :p
