Hello! To any and all who join, welcome!

Sigh, my original nation was pre-2004, but alas, it is long gone.

Barely under!

Yay. Erm...which is the official one?

This one is the official one :)

Not really, as I was never one for the elitist hogwash, but it is nice to know if I felt like it I could be.

This isn't about being part of the "elite". It's just for people to reminisce. A lot of things have changed in the last couple of years, sometimes it's nice to just sit with other people that remember and talk about it.

The benifits of clubbing with the mods! :D

Do I get to give lots of :fluffle: to TG while talking about things I never bothered to participate in? :p

How about created before 204, never posted, and then revived in 2004

No, because we have no evidence that you really had a nation before 2004. If you want in, jsut ask the mods to revive your previous nation.

Damm. Now that's old.

Do you keep in touch with Lucius Septimius Severus? How's the old boy doing?

yay for Roman history!

I would like to add one thing that I really miss reading. The General RPs. not the Volcano Club, but the ones involving the Gods and Goddesses, or the time people were stranded on a desert island, or all the various balls and such. The bookshop and the club that was... (dark/gothic is the only word I can come up with :p) were also quite nice. I feel like there's a real line drawn between General and the RP now that wasn't there before.

yay for Roman history!

Well, you arn't the sharpest taco in the fridge, old man. :D

LUSHERIA! So there you are!

;) Got room for another dinosaur?

Bah! I bet most of youse don't remember why we got players to become mods in the first place. It was one particular event that really triggered it. Some guy posted a goatse in a thread not many people would have seen. But this other guy in all his brilliance posted a "DON'T LOOK AT [the first guy's thread]." So way more people looked at that thread to see why we shouldn't look at that thread in the first place.

It was a horrible time for curiousity.

Are you talking about Colodia's old thread? The one where people were screaming and saying he should be banned.

I forget who it was. Was it Colodia?

Well people were rightfully pissed off. I mean who would say "don't click this thread" and expect people to actually not click it?

I think so. I was reading an old thread, I was bored, and I came upon a thread that a picture so horrible that people would not describe it. It was something about a dead horse or some such thing.

Nah. That was recent. It was like half a year ago or something. I'm talking about back in the day, before mods. Before I was mod that is. :D

Yep I knew it. Most of youse guys dont remember.

13 magic bullets to take control. Which means everyone gets killed but me.

I guess it's much more easy to nuke all of you.

Hmmm. Maybe I should reincarnate again as Orca.

I guess I must be Generation X?

As the late Don Adams would say:

"Missed it by that much"

I guess the benefit of not being able to join, is that you cannot call me an old fart. :D

Ooo, we have a club now do we? Spiff!

The sad thing is almost all of my puppets are around the same age as this nation if not older.

since you've been Grampus

so i figured that one out on my own, but was there some sort of announcement i missed?

"I never died said he"

...ish. I seem to recall that I made some kind of public anouncement, but I can't recall if some of my fellow Northern Ireland/6 Counties posters had announed* it before hand or just said 'Aha! I thought so" afterwards.


Anyhoo... good to see you keeping well. Its just Sheila-na-gig and Spiritual Anarchy that I wish were to return now.



* 'anounced' or possibly even 'announced'. Crap spelling due to the fact that copious amounts of whiskey and soda are the only thing keeping me rolling in these days of extreme backpain. My critical faculties are well below par right now.

Ooo, we have a club now do we? Spiff!

The sad thing is almost all of my puppets are around the same age as this nation if not older.
Shall we register all our puppets too? :D
It's always amusing to see people post their population counts and then realize you have totally unused nations that far exceed that.

mmmmm........sign me up

Woohoo, I qualify!

Put me on the list :p

Created before 2004, eh? Welll fine then.

I'm happy with my little golf buggy and hookers.

Anyhoo... good to see you keeping well.

well enough, anyway. unemployed, out of school, and trying to figure out a way to convince a couple of the notoriously anti-actually-doing-something american anarchists to join me in attempting to actually make a living in a libertarian sort of fashion, and maybe fund a few projects along the way.

but yeah, you too.


Its just Sheila-na-gig and Spiritual Anarchy that I wish were to return now.

perhaps if we were to preform some sort of voodoo ritual and revive the corpse of the original anarchist thread, sa would magically show up?

Tried and failed already (well, not the voodoo bit, but the reviving the thread). Seems like the virtual corpse of SA is happy in the soil.

*totters around with his walker*

Join date? Eh? June 2003, whats it to you? What? Fossil? Never!

*wanders off looking for his Geritol*

**Died and ressurected in 2004 no less. You can'r keep a good man down!**

Would you like to be in the mod category?
Naturally.

Wow can I touch you? :p
Ten bucks.

Tried and failed already (well, not the voodoo bit, but the reviving the thread).

exactly my point. just the thread isn't enough; we need to shake a dead chicken while we do it.

Hmmmm Am I old enough to be a fossil? and do I want to be thought of as a fossil?......ah well my kids think I was around in dinosaur times so what the hey....

I was glad to see that this wasn't an elitist thing.

So when do we play our first bingo game?

Dang, even amongst the longest here i've been here a long time... FEBRUARY 2003!!!

i would like to join

Done. Welcome to the Fossils Club.

Thursday is the official "sit around the brass spitton telling stories of days gone by" day.

Count me in. *taps computer screen with his cane* Where's my social security check!?

Dinner is at 3:30.

That was an hour ago! Where's my dinner! It's hard work to sit and grow a nation for 2 years!

And if we're young oldsters, do we get to suck on pacifiers or something?

*passes out the bubbly and hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries*

*passes out the bubbly and hand dipped chocolate covered strawberries*

STRAWBERRIES! YAY!

*Munch*

Yeah for chocolate covered strawberries!

I say we regale each other with stories about our younger years - when we were yet newbs! It's what fossils do; or so I have read. Who will go first?

Me! I will!

I remember the Volcano. All the drama, crazyness, sometimes mean people, but most of all, it was just fun to kill time being a loser with fellow losers :)

*clears throat*

Ahem. Hi.

Include me before I set your eyeballs on fire. And then set them on fire a second time, while they're still on fire. With my mind.

Yeah, hardcore.

Anyways, what's up? Is we'ze gonna rock the hizouse with our mastery?

Everone who isn't March 2003 and before are newbies in my eyes. :D
Screw you too, A-hole :P

I fit the deadline! Haha!

No you do not, whelping! Now run off before I smack you down like a red-headed stepchild!

:P

oooo... strawberries! *secrets some away for Back to School night*

My younger years.... having awesome fun answering the issues? :D

Oh... 2003... Oh...

Whoops...

I guess I am a n00b...

*whacks GZ with his cane.* Back in line sonny -you're still a youngin! :P

I remember checking into the forums one time early on and someone was making a fuss about this "Beeker" fellow coming back, and at the time I was wondering what was so great about that, lol.

Everone who isn't March 2003 and before are newbies in my eyes. :D

Gaaaaaaawd, Amerigo, stop being such a newbie. N00b!

I'm enjoying this far too much.

Hahahaha, Beeker. I remember him. He was NUTS. He created a lot of contraversy and upset mods, which obviously got him banned, then from what I remember he came back, then was banned again or just left. I think. I'm too senile to remember entirely ;)

It'll be nice to be the youngster in a crowd once more.

Sign me up, if you will.

Yeah. It's been a long time since I was a newbie. I think I'll enjoy the nostalgia of feeling like it was back when I first joined.

I'll join, if only to feel like I'm young again. 23/12/03 birth date - I'm the baby of the group!

*sits on the porch drinking some lemonade and thinking about trying some new wrinkle creme*

Oh, Grampa, please, will you tell us the tale of Komokom and the Golden Frying-Pan?

Or maybe the one about when they used to play Twister in the Strangers' Bar?

Is it true everyone used to RP much better? Did you really play word games and get away with it? Did you ever build post-pyramids when you were young?

Thump!

Sorry, Grampa -- young-er, I meant.

(Snickers to Keruvalia, the only other youngling present: "They're so silly! They actually think there was a time when the Mods didn't exist!")

Well, I helped build a few quote pyramids back in the day when Forum 7 was around. Maybe before that too, but I'm not admitting to anything specific, you understand. ;)

And word games used to be all the rage. Why, I remember when Sixy and I would be composing one-word stories and Blue Viper would run through the thread naked.

Komokom? That reminds me. Where is that old fossil, anyway?

*wanders around looking for Kommers*

Beeker and then Beeks!

And if the Mods are actually gods, then wouldn't they always have existed as opposed to just *popping* out of existance?

And word games used to be all the rage. Why, I remember when Sixy and I would be composing one-word stories and Blue Viper would run through the thread naked.

Not to forget the games of Mornington Crescent in Forum 7 and NSGeneral.

Forget? I'm too young to forget things!

Now where did I put my teeth...oh yes. Here they are.

Mornington Crescent was a game I avoided. I didn't know how to play, and in my youthful arrogance refused to learn.

I'd like to join ... :D

... Why, I remember when Sixy and I would be composing one-word stories and Blue Viper would run through the thread naked ...

Ooohh! Ooo-waah!

*blushes*

(Knowledgeably: Of course, in their day that wouldn't have been considered vulgar at all. Mum says everyone was very outspoken back then.)

Look At Me!

Now where did I put my teeth...oh yes. Here they are.

Mornington Crescent was a game I avoided. I didn't know how to play, and in my youthful arrogance refused to learn.

I think a lot of people would like to know how to play mornington crescent.

And althought i may act like a newb at times i'm as old as you guys dammit!

Is there a club for pre-2003 people?

Ah, shucks. Looks like I spent too much time in the UN and too little in General back in my youth.

Or maybe not.

They don't call it your second childhood for nothing.

Ooooo! Cool refrigerator magnets! I'm gonna get me somma those!

Ah, shucks. Looks like I spent too much time in the UN and too little in General back in my youth.

Or maybe not.

It was more fun back in the day. You could start social spam threads and such. Why, I remember the Lonely Hearts Club and...

*falls asleep*

Hello everyone,

Nah. My back hurts.

He's alive!

I'll join, if only to feel like I'm young again. 23/12/03 birth date - I'm the baby of the group!

IIRC, I joined on 8/12/03. So you're not much younger. :p

*looks for her cane* :D

*looks for her cane* :D

Honey, you need a wheelchair. Canes are for us younger fossils. ;)

IIRC, I joined on 8/12/03. So you're not much younger. :p
Whereas, IIRC, this nation of mine joined on Boxing Day 2003, so I'm the baby! Yay. Go me! :cool:

(My other nation was older, but only by a couple of days.)

Is there a club for pre-2003 people?

It wouldn't be a very big one.

And much less entertaining without Hotrodia around.

Darn, this is a disspointment. I though we would get to talk paleantology.

*slinks away*

Yay, another club for Bahgum to join, count us in.

It wouldn't be a very big one.

And much less entertaining without Hotrodia around.

Hey sonny! *shakes cane angrily and white beard bobs* There're plenty of us still around! And we're darn entertaining!

*looks at watch*

Oooh! Medication time!

Hey sonny! *shakes cane angrily and white beard bobs* There're plenty of us still around! And we're darn entertaining!

Update your prescription sweetie, I'm no sonny.

So far I've only seen two 2002ers in this thread. We tried inviting a bunch of ancient Wysterians to bump those numbers up, but they seem to have gotten lost along the way. Or maybe they just forgot where they... uh ... and...

what was I saying again?

*looks at watch*

Oooh! Medication time!

Ohhh..What did you have in your cup today! I had the red Laxative, the yellow Sedative, and my blue Alzheimers pill. The laxative had a strange taste today.

Hey, wanna play bingo?

At the urging of a good friend who seems to think I need to come to terms with my "fossil" status ( :p ), I would like to join the club. :cool:

Um...

Where am I? More importantly, WHO am I?

I believe I was like 7 days late... so now I'm doomed to be the earliest 2003. :(

Don't worry, I'm right behind you.

Not sure of my join date according to this, but I'm resurrected. So add like 2 years.

It just hit me ...

If you're all fossils, and you can talk, then

We're magic fossils.

Yeah

A better question is, "Are YOU real?"

Wooo, Erastide...I just checked out your Player Profile thread thing. I've got things I need to update, like how old I am, for example. Where can I let you know? Yes, I know it's off topic, but I'm a fossil, I'm allowed to forget where I am ;)

Yes. Or is this all just an internet forum thingy for a secret government mind control experiment? Ever thought of that? Huh?

My bad. Sorry. *blush*

Ah, poor Amerigo.

Hey, wanna play bingo?
Bingo is unacceptable. I have a sort throat, so the guy calling the numbers won't hear me say bingo. :(

We can get you a nice, padded room if you like.

When I was a young nation state you only had three issue and you had didn’t have no regional controls. There was only one Pacific region and if you didn’t like it that was just too bad. Did I mention that I had to scroll uphill through a thousand proposals twice a day. Well we were made of sterner stuff back then I tell you.

Or we could dig out this treasure that someone on these boards discovered a year or so back: the oh-so-realistic Real Lives simulator...

I wish I could find the original thread that this thing spawned - people having 31 kids and living to the age of 160, people living in cardboard boxes whilst working as high court judges in the USA. If this is reality then something is seriously wrong with me.

I remember that.

Ever try Alter Ego? It used to be an old PC game, but someone updated it and made it online. http://www.theblackforge.net/ (if it doesn't work, try the mirrors)

Ohhh..What did you have in your cup today! I had the red Laxative, the yellow Sedative, and my blue Alzheimers pill. The laxative had a strange taste today.

*Squints to read*

O...Oestrogen. And...Lithium.

What do they do?

Hey, boobies! *fondles self*

I've been fine. How bout you? And Hans?

It's good that Fossils can still have fun. ;)

I believe joining in Febuary '03 gets me in.

Hehe, any other 2002 nations around? :)

I think I qualify for this distingushed assembly. For once...

Damn, I just scrolled up. This is pretty damn old.

It's so good being a 2003, the best damn year. When the internet no longer exists, and in the records people write something of a game called NationStates, it'll say "2003 Was a fine year, the best if I may speak so freely..."

This is the Fossils Club. This club is where the old timers can join together, and tell stories about the good old days.

Any Nation created before 2004 is elegible to join.
My first nation (The Safalran Lands, now long dead) was created in either October or November of 2003 (a couple of months before this nation). Can I join?

Why is it that I'm always forgotten when it comes time to make lists like this? I was under the impression that the only thing I had going for me was my age.

Man, why'd you have to go and do that? See, here I was going "ha, I'm older than all these guys saying how old they are", they you come along, about one month older, and completely screw it up. I guess I hate you. ;-)

Dance Kirby! ('.'<) ('.'^) ('.') (>'.') (^'.')

(And yes, I'm from Feb 2003, not whenever this founding date says. Stupid resurrection)

Hello! To any and all who join, welcome!

I want to join, I don't post a whole lot (due to work and grad school) but I would be willing to hold an office in the General fossils Club if one were to go up for grabs...

I don't get you guys. Are you even paying attention?

Plus, Topher, considering she had almost no posts at all until a few weeks ago, that average doesn't really tell you too much.


Eh, nevermind me, it's just my daily five nit-picky minutes *shuffles off kicking dust*

I don't get you guys. Are you even paying attention?
