You know you're an Ns veteren player when...

1 - you haven't made a puppet in such a long time that your smallest puppet nation is almost at 3 billion, while your main nation stands at 3.6 billion and counting.

2 - the UN becomes so meaningless that you've joined and left about half a dozen times

3 - You've given up hope on taking the #1 position in biggest (insert something here)

4 - you laugh at your puny neighbours who have only a billion or so people (1.4) and they say their army is better than yours, despite that you have sheer numbers!

5 - alliances are meaningless

6 - You've had so many leaders, you don't remember who's in charge

8. You can type your nation name into google and come up with a link to your nations homepage, your regional messageboard, your NS page, your haggis recipe website and half a dozen posts you've made on various forums.

- You know the fine line that lets you piss off the mods before they can give you a warning, forumban or delete you

- you have fond/not-so fond memories of the old forum

You start wearing black when one of your allies gets DEATed.

Greeting cards get you to start thinking of one of your NS friends.

You write lyrics and compose music to your national anthem. And you sing it. And you post it to your website.

Or a time when posting Goatse and/or Tubgirl was a method of suicide by mod. (Fortunately, the fad for that passed a long time ago!)

3 - You've given up hope on taking the #1 position in biggest (insert something here)

Or when you haven't given up, because you've hit the top 10. Or have already made it (*shakes fist at FeministBioengineering*).

You remember when there were no Mods.

Amerigo is a land of Contrast.

You remember [dredd] posting.

Beeker, Marathon, Perrier, Textpeople, Sheol.

You remember :tantrum: because it'd work, then not, then work again, then not...

And, like The Blaatschapen said, you've seen a million of these lists...

...and you're amused as people try to pull up things from their first couple days to show how long they've been here :p

I remember all those people...but only from my very first days here on NS. I swear people were talking about their leaving as I first started posting. Does that mean I'm a vet? ;) Or am I still a young recruit, struggling to remember the name of his old commanding officer back in basic?

You might be an NS Vet if...

*You remember the amerigo slave conflict

*You were actually in the amerigo slave conflict

*The word Demoness is more than a female demon to you

*You remember a time before earths

*You've gone past your stage of trying to be genocidal and hated

*War has become pointless for you, little gains and usually no good rp

*You remember when there was no International Incidents

And yes, Amerigo /is/ a land of contrast.

Do temporary leaders who seized power via coup d'etat, only to be ousted shortly afterwards, count? If so, then I've had three leaders.
