Has anyone ever thought about that? It just occured to me that if I was a good writer I would definitely write a book about this magnificent universe... But beeing much better reader than a writer I think I have to just forget that. Anyways, what would you people think about the idea? What would you see in the book? How/why should Your nation be in it?

I should definitely be in it to muddy the plot(no pun intended) and keep readers semi-distracted by my antics so they are surprised by the climactic end. :)

Well, you see, that's the thing...NS and II are already given the fame they have by those who take the time to write out their stories. In a sense, your idea might be better off if it were a collection of stories all relating to the NS world.

You would think anything over 2401 would get you in the book;)

Actually, Neo-K, Czardas, and I are writing something very similar to this.
Details to follow in a few weeks.

Marvellous news!
And Franberry, I am well aware of the fact NS is made around the Jennifer Government.... But what I meant was a book about the in-game world. The universe that has been created by the players. If anything like that is ever accomplished, I would just secure even the smallest sentence mentioning Madnestan :p

It would be good if it were about invaders and defenders. Some of the great moments in the histor of places like DEN and between the members of such armies.

I actually laughed at YOUR name though. I read it to be Heroine-Market Warriors, and for some mysterious reason opened my mouth and let the funny sounds out.

Personally, I've always considered the RP's done by various players to be like writing books. Sloppy books, mind you, but still books. I'll try searching the archives for a really great RP to base a book on.

We may never know why that happened. We can only be thankful that it did.
