Which NSers would you want to have a child with?

Ilie
07-03-2006, 17:50
...if possible, based solely on things they've posted, and assuming that the child would have a personality and set of values that would be a blend of yours and the NSer of your choice.
Kzord
07-03-2006, 17:53
I don't know NSers well enough to make that decision. And it's hard to judge personality when you can only read their words, not hear tone of voice or perceive any other form of nonverbal communication.

Now that's an interesting question.

If it were medically possible, Fass. Otherwise, Sinuhue. Definately Bitchkitten.

Probably a combination of the three.

Just give me all of the cultured, intelligent, left-liberal types rolled into one.

Shall we assume that this child is a result of spliced DNA so that two males or females can have an offspring, or are we required to choose partners that are physiologically compatible?

For those that are physiologically compatible, I'd choose Smunkeeville.

Grooviest mom I ever met. :)

On that note, LG... though it'd partially suck because I'd always have to be "bad cop" But hey, sacrifices must be made for the good of humanity.

Otherwise.....same response as to whom I'd miss -- Nation of Fortune. Or Kanabia, though that'd be a child I'd fear. Not because of the Kanabia-ness of it or anything.....just that it'd be half-Australian. Talk about a genetic mishap.

Our offspring will limit itself to dominate the Western hemisphere? I am severely disappointed, I had hoped for it to be greater than its parents, rather than lazily resting on our heritage. That slurred work ethic must be from your side.

okay, I suppose it would be cheating if I picked my husband right? He is on NS, he just hardly ever posts in General since I always say what he was going to anyway.

In the SoWiBian Charta of NSers' Rights it says in §1.1:
"An NSer shall, for the purpose of any thread SoWiBi may grace, be herewith defined as any poster on the NS boards. Mere ownership of an NS nation shall only qualify for Preferred Relations status among the previously defined member body.

So then, does that mean that if you simply post on here and no longer have a nation (or don't have a nation, for whatever reason), you're still an NSer?

I only ask because I'm trying to determine the measure by which my own choice was possibly cheating.

Actually, yes.

Think of TJHairball or [violet] for instance.

(To keep on-topic: While I detest children with a vengeance, I may donate DNA samples anonymously to Fass, H N Fiddlebottoms VIII, and/or Simonist. The combination of sarcasm, mild insanity, megalomania, and intelligence will probably make the kid a viable candidate to succeed me, even though it's a moot point because I plan to live forever, but I'll probably abduct it at the age of 7 and train it to follow in my footsteps, excessively harshly of course—it would be subject to a daily whipping for whatever reason, would have to learn to use a magnetically charged pole before age 13, spend most of its time doing errands and carrying heavy things, and so on. That'll harden it to future experiences and make it sadistic enough in later life to rival me, almost, at the very least.)

Basing my Charta only on my own experience, I must say that the prerequisite for posting here is having an (active) NS nation. (I'm one of those obscure people with several puppets, two of which I use on the forum as well, and I've more than once found that I let one of them die and then try to access the forum with that account and cannot log in anymore. )

I'm blond and blue-eyed so that is pretty much guaranteed. However, my children will have my strong features, Nordic proportions and large genetalia. I'm quite positve that's dominant. And let's face it, that's the important parts anyway, so it appears the pwnage is all on your side.
