Post some of your favorte myths and legends that have to do with the general forum or other aspects of the game.

Gataway_Driver is not a perfect speller

"Max Barry = [Violet]" myth.

Another good myth is that Czardas is the "Supreme Ruler of the Universe". ;)

It was once possible to have a sensible debate about abortion, evolution, or gay marriage without flaming, trolling, or running off-topic.

"Max Barry = Myrth" Myth. Yes, I just said "Myrth Myth". :)YOu mean like the "Max Barry = [violet]" Myth?


:p

We are all understanding and able to see everyones point of view

i am really just a trolling hard line free-market capitalist :eek:

Arguments can be one by critising your oponents spelling. Likewise a valid point can be refuted by pointing out mistakes in grammer.

Polls are in fact intelligent beings, who prey on threads.

Another good myth is that Czardas is the "Supreme Ruler of the Universe". ;)
Yes, everyone knows it's actually me.

YOu mean like the "Max Barry = [violet]" Myth?


:p

Someone once thought The Most Glorious Hack was Max Barry.... ;)

Polls are in fact intelligent beings, who prey on threads.
Kinda like limpets?

Myth: NS is in fact the real world, we just all play a game called Life. Yeah, its a myth :shiftyeyes:

I am going to name a few some are obvious, others are not:
Smoking Man = ?
Myrth controls most of the nations in the world
This forum was once peaceful

Another good myth is that Czardas is the "Supreme Ruler of the Universe". ;)Yeah I just got promoted to Supreme Ruler of the Multiverse. :p

Someone once thought The Most Glorious Hack was Max Barry.... ;)No, Hack is Salusa, Myrth is [violet], Cog is Max Barry. It should be obvious.

Or not. :rolleyes:


;)

No one finds this thread to be a spam hole, but they continue anyways. *Joins them on the fun fest* :fluffle: :eek:

No, Hack is Salusa, Myrth is [violet], Cog is Max Barry. It should be obvious.

Or not. :rolleyes:


;)
All of the Admins are one person and Myrth = Max's humorous side.
Cog = Fris

My name has a pronunciation.

My name has a pronunciation.
It actialluy looks like the name of a real nation.

All of the Admins are one person and Myrth = Max's humorous side.
Cog = FrisNo no no, you've got it all wrong. Cog = Kat. Fris = Hack. Max = Goober = Smokey the NSer = Reploid Productions = Czardas = Commando8 = Kervoskia....and so on and so forth. Don't you know anything? :D

My name is actually spelled correctly, and I'm Max. (everyone knows that)

Yeah I just got promoted to Supreme Ruler of the Multiverse. :p
Ja...but now I'm surpreme ruler of the Multi....Multiverse......so HA and such...
*hides in the corner*

Dispite wild rumors that Ravea is an international assassian, the only proof is several dead dictators with a golden disk engraved with the letter 'R' implanted in the forhead of each deceased dictator.

Forum 7. :eek:

I am a living legend. :cool:

You can't be rideculed if you like America

Forum 7. :eek:

i remember Forum 7!

there is no conspiracy

Myrth's tears are at a frequency and pitch that causes pigs' heads to explode.

Arguments can be one by critising your oponents spelling. Likewise a valid point can be refuted by pointing out mistakes in grammer.

Shouldn't that be "Arguments can be won by ..." ;)

Shouldn't that be "Arguments can be won by ..." ;)

Don't forget "oponents" is "opponent's"... ;)

I win the debate!

Lunatic Goofballs once attempted to shave Michael Moore's neckbeard, but failed upon realizing that the hairs were actually tiny Malaysian children.

Alien Born can draw circles with more than 360 degrees.

This is going to sound very newbish but what exactly is this 'Forum 7'?

Don't forget "oponents" is "opponent's"... ;)

I win the debate!

Well it could actually be "opponents' " assuming more than one of course. So no, I win the debate, as you corrected potentially incorrectly..

OMG OMG IT'S SPELT GRAMMAR OMG WHAT YOU SAID IS STUPID NOW.

Alien Born can draw circles with more than 360 degrees.

Only dressed in thermal protection gear though.

Very well, you have won this duel of grammatic verbosity. Upon my return, we shall oppugn the peculiarities of English linguistics and endeavor to ascertain whence these abberations have been derived.

Ja...but now I'm surpreme ruler of the Multi....Multiverse......so HA and such...
*hides in the corner*There's a Multi-Multiverse??? :confused: I thought that was just a myth, and all the other Multiverses exploded during the Third Cosmic War.

This is going to sound very newbish but what exactly is this 'Forum 7'?

The Book of NationStates

--Founding--

(F 1:1)First there was nothing...Then there was Al Gore.
(F 1:2)And in thirty eight and one half days, Al Gore created The Internet, and it was good.
(F 1:3)On the First Eight Days Al Gore created The Servers, in which The Internet would exist.
(F 1:4)On the next Eight Days, Al Gore appointed The Programmers, who would give The Internet Shape.
(F 1:5)And on the final Eight Days (nobody said anything about counting) Al Gore Appointed The Admins, who would control the Internet.
(F 1:6)Chief amoung the Admins was [violet], who served the Other Creator Guy, Max Barry.
(F 1:7)And there was strife between Max Barry and Al Gore, and Al Gore said to Max Barry, "Thou shalt leaveth mine Internet, and go into the Publishing Buinsess!"
(F 1:8)And Max Barry went forth, and published a few books, and was bored.
(F 1:9)Thus Max Barry returned to the Internet, and found that it had grown great and prosperous, with many entertaining pornography and warez sites, but it lacked something.
(F 1:10)And thus Max Barry took from the greatest of His books, the plotline, and from, this he forged The NationStates, and it was good.
(F 1:11)Many users of the Internet flocked to this new thing, and were overjoyed by its great greatful greatness.
(F 1:12)And thus Max and [violet] were overwhelmed by the many NationStaters, and for at time, things were good.

--Moderators--

(M 2:1) But there was discontent within the NationStaters, for a despicable parasite had come into their midst, and its name was n00b.
(M 2:2) The NationStaters feared the n00b, for it had a great power to annoy and incite arugment, and they called to Max Berry and [violet] to send them aide.
(M 2:3) And Max created The Moderators to protect the NSers, amoung these were Myrth the Great and Cogitation the Wise, and Stephistan the Lost, greatest of the Mods
(M 2:4) The Mods struck down the n00bs with righteous lightning and wrathfullness, and the n00bs fled before the Mods, and were gone.
(M 2:5) The Great NationStates prospered under the Mods and the Admins and Max, and for a time, things were good.

--Generalizations--

(G 3:1) The forum of General was at once a great and prospering city, and at the same time, a slum of inequity.
(G 3:2) For while it was a place for the free exchange of ideas, it was at the same time a ditch of insult, stupidity and repression.
(G 3:3) For many long years, the so called 'liberals' held sway over the General forum, and they were happy. They throve and prospered and agreed with each other alot, while the 'conservatives' were silenced by the vast cacophony that arose when they spoke.
(G 3:4) But over the years, their numbers grew, until at last the conservatives were able to voice their opinions without being silenced by the vast numbers of liberals, and things were good, for a time.
(G 3:5) Alas, througout this time there were many, trolls, of a type similar to the n00b, and they throve on the attention of the Generalites, and prosopered.
(G 3:6) The Trolls, alas, still threaten the Generalites today, for they cannot be destroyed permenantly, and thus arise again always, for if one IS struck down, three arise in its place.

(Okay, I admit that the last one was mostly a dig at the forums politics up until about 2004, but the rest was good stuff :P
Feel free to add, if you like)

What species?

Dontgonearthere once drew a self portrait with the blood of a thousand virgins.

Hehe i have a good myth...

All people on NS are sensible, rational, and can hold an intelliegent debate

Oh and they all have lives outside of this site... :D

Dontgonearthere once drew a self portrait with the blood of a thousand virgins.
Actually, it was more like thirty, but thanks for the compliment.
Virgins are so hard to find these days.

In times of stress, Lashie bursts into flames. He is then reborn from the ashes.

Virgins are so hard to find these days.

Don't be modest ...

Dontgonearthere is the only known entity to whom causality does not apply.

The legend that I am God's Gift To Women is.......

TRUE.
I have never broken a single law. I am still a virgin. I have never taken advantage of any one. I am the only person that women can rely on. I am always faithful. Unlike all those male guttersluts that are roaming around dropping their pants for every single female walking the street, I have something called moral values.
I am perfect. Not only am I perfect, I am God's Gift To Women and every woman on earth should be at my feet, on their knees bowing before me, begging for my good graces and if they are not doing that, they need to be building temples with statues of me.

Oh shoosh, your name has not one but several pronunciations....some of them not very polite, others downright obscene. It all depends on whether or not the person in question agrees with you. :p

We should figure out some possible pronunciations, and have a poll to see which one is most popular.

I'll be voting for "Van Helsing", that's a good pronunciation for any name.

Surely its pronounced Se-Dare-iji

Lunatic Goofballs once attempted to shave Michael Moore's neckbeard, but failed upon realizing that the hairs were actually tiny Malaysian children.

Nobody was more surprised than I was.

Note: I tried to shave them off anyway, but the little bastards are agile as hell. Even when covered in shaving cream.

Czardas taught Godzilla everything he knows.

Legless Pirates is actually an Albanian dwarf who, for the sake of friendship and social interaction, dressed his entire body in a large pirate outfit that concealed his dwarfism. When people asked about the legs, he just told them he had none, thus the small legs simply became his 'stumps'. Also, everyone who has ever been deleted from nationstates was removed because they discovered his terrible secret.

Unfortunately, that's 12 suggestions, and polls can only have 10 options, and we need an 'Other' option, so we need to pick 9 from this list. I'll automatically veto 'Myrth' because I hate that fad.

Two suggestions - keep Throat-Warbler Mangrove, lose George McFartingpants. Possibly get rid of Van Helsing too, unless you wish to be associated with an incredibly crappy movie.

Personally, I thought it was bloody awful. But then again, that's just one film-fan's opinion in a sea of people who liked Robocop 3.

I couldn't bring myself to like the machine-bow thingummy. The sea of crap that surrounded it just clogged it with shit, and tainted it forever.

Also, I tend to get annoyed at poor science in films (autistically so, in fact) e.g. I pissed off my friends after watching Batman begins (highly enjoyable) and denouncing a key factor to the film as being 'rubbish'.

I've seen it. Some people wept in that film because Bruce sacrificed himself for his daughter's happiness. I wept because YOU CAN'T BLOW UP A FUCKING ASTEROID SEVEN MILES ACROSS WITH A NUKE!!! (but apparently you might be able to by painting one side white)

SHHHHH! That's part of the myth!

My favourite forum myth?

That claiming you are something MAKES you that which you claim to be.

They myth that I actually send out every issue to every nation individually would be amusing if people didn't keep telegramming me thinking that I'm the one responsible for making them have the Harry Potter issue so many times.
