What's the deal with all these people with [NS] as part of their name?

Aren't they nations that are "recycled". (you know the ones that were abandonded and are now up for grabs again).

I think it is where their name already exists on Jolt in another forum and so to differentiate a [NS] is put in front of their name

Think its what happens if they choose a name that somebody on Jolt allready has. Maybe

Normally I'd know, because I was one of the NST guys way back when, but I have been away January-May, and a lot of changes have happened which have n00bulated me. :(

That makes a lot more sense than my theory.

Correctamundo.

Have they even started releasing those yet? I've been waiting to get my hands on the Kingdom of Daventry forever now.

I think it's when using a name that's already taken. Somehow Jolt got the impression that I didn't have an account, so if I sign into my nation on NS, then click "Forum", I will log in as [ns:::]marmite toast or something (a separate forum account).
