What would you do if you met me (Or some other NS player) on the street?

Okay, so, one day you're walking down the street. It's a nice day out, nothing out of the ordinary happening, and you see two guys walking towards you from the other direction. The first guy's a walking Adonis, damn close to the best looking man on the planet, you get weak in the knees just looking at him, and next to him there's me. Well, as we pass each other, you hear "So, you've gotta try this great game called NationStates, I've been playing it for over two years and I'm still hooked." What do you do?

Me, if I heard somebody else say it, I'd immediately go over and say "Holy Crap, you play NS? Me, too! I'm Klonor! What nation are you?" and then attempt to enter into a dialogue when they've finally given up trying to escape. Of course, if they revealed themselves to be a nation I don't like it'd probably turn down a dark path rather quickly (Stun guns and plastic wrapping would play an integral role) but it'd be fun up until that point.

What would you do?

While my response would be friendly and inquisitive either way, it would be more so if the NS'er in question was an attractive female.

Honest, aren't I?

Yeah, I'd end up getting Ffc2 and having him try and convert me for two hours with semiliterate unsubstantiated arguments.

I'd strike up a conversation, but some people, I'd wanna deck. Others, I'd want to go out to some place and eat with. If it was Lunatic Goofballs, I'd hang out, but studiously avoid all mud holes and pie producing areas.

I would deny any knowledge of.. what is it? "NationStates"? Never heard of it...

I would avoid eye contact and hurry past.

I have used up a lot of mod nukes. :(

Be very polite. If it's a female, be extremely polite.

Conversation (if male):

NS Person: Hey, have you ever palyed this game Nationstates?
Me: Sir, you're eating my fries.
NS Person: No, I'm not.
Me: Yes, you are. Don't lie.
NS Person: Okay....
Me: I'm Jenrak.
NS Person: OOH! The N00b?
Me: Shut Up.

lol! Since you're gonna be doing the Flash animation for the Musical, I'd prolly buy you lunch (take this as a compliment, as all my friends will attest to the fact that I'm a miser, and part very grudginly with my money...lol). If it was Klonor, I'd prolly wind up talking about books.

Awwww...

If it was Aerou or a few other select few, I'd probably give em a big hug or handshake (depending on gender, of course).

If it was someone else, I'd probably hide my face, turn and walk / run in the other direction...I've made a few too many enemies, methinks...

There he is! GET HIM!

(Look on the bright side, people can't multi IRL)

I'd like to think I'd do the same as you, but I'm very much more shy in real life than I am on the internet, so I'd probably just say nothing and feel stupid for being a dumb shy person.

Having spent a while in the ADN, I can only conclude that the majority are a bunch of bored girls.

You mean...it's a bunch of nations run by a few bored girls? A certain nation springs to mind, starts with "C" ends with "orinthe"...

Yeah, and numerous others I could name. It seems I'm one of the few guys involved in all that.

I'd just continue walking. Wonder a bit, but continue walking. And then later I'd regret it.

I'm not good with the talking to strangers. I have a tendency to act like an idiot.

Difficult one. There are some people that I'd really like to meet IRL, but there are many others that I'm glad I never will meet. How do you tell which they are if you just see them on the street? I'd probably say nothing.

I'll do all the talking, baby.

*laughs*

Well, I'm not terrible at talking if someone else starts the conversation, so I suppose if someone thought to themselves, "Gee, that long-haired chick over there in some mystical way reminds me of Poliwanacraca despite not having said anything," and approached me, that would work. :p

lol, exactly. And damned if I know what else you like. :P

Tactical, Neut..Y'know, you could just say you were some random nation (or a puppet), and later reveal your identity after finding out what they thought of the mods. Or...you could DEAT them, irl, if they were one of the ones that really pissed you off, but you have to do it Mafia style.

if they were one of the nations that really pissed me off I'd ask them if they wanted a shag. The rules on trolling/flamebaiting do not extend to real life.

Need I say 'nerd', or is that just considered superfluous?

It's considered blatantly obvious and, if it's taken you this long to figure it out, an indication of your mental status.

Wondering why the hell am I walking on the streets alone and where the hell are my parents because some random stranger is talking to me and is getting WAAAAY too friendly with me, as I'm 15.
