NationStates Jolt Archive

Ok, this may not be the "appropriate" forum to discuss this, but what do you think about the changes to Nation States?

I like the changes in color and layout, but mauve? Oh, come on! Mauve! ICK! :D

I also like the new "Nation Dates" theme. I even tried it ( just to see what would happen, you understand. *cough* ), but it matched me up with one of my puppets! ROFLMFAO!!!! :D

I see it more as a sort of fuscia.

The Armed Republic of Bogmarsh ( http://www.nationstates.net/bogmarsh ) is now hitched up with http://www.nationstates.net/22901/page=display_nation/nation=st_john_the_highlander

The new color is absolutely disgusting. The site look horrendous now. :headbang: :mad:

Feeeeeeeeel the love!!!!:p

lol. I got match up with the The Empire of Canuckastinians. I thought I miss spelt the address and got this odd copy site. Best April prank ever! Love everyone. love!

Sorry. Didn't see it. Honestly don't care, either. :D

Even I thought it was funny... and I'm English, and therefore, have no discernable sense of humour.

"Naffer?" WTF, over? :confused:

Here's what I can honestly tell you about the colour used:

It's R 254 G 230 B 230. (RGB scale)

It's C 1 M 11 Y 5 K 0. (CMYK)

It's a desaturated warm red, not unlike a cadmium red (paint pigment) but it is a light tone - there is no trace of black so it couldn't be described as a shade. And yeah - I just checked and it has a saturation index of 10% colour... but it is a pure colour.

So you see... it's not 'mauve' or 'pink' or 'salmon' or any other interior decorator jargon. It's a very light, warm red colour. I like it!

i just like thing fighting each other

Have to say, I like the new front page, but as long as it's gone soon. That pink/mauve/muted red, whatever you guys want to call it, gets a bit harsh on the eyes after a while!

He thought it was hilarious too!

Yes it does. I was sound asleep when they changed it and it woke me up. I thought, WTF, over??? :D

He thought it was hilarious too!
LOL! Kewl! Sounds as if you two might be better matched than you realized! :D

I'm from England too. And I'm mad as heck that I can't drink SODA!

If it helps, when I did live in England... there was a shop in the Sheffield City Centre that used to import American sodas... and those groovy Japanese drinks that claim flavours like "Hello Kitty Flavour"...

Yes it does. I was sound asleep when they changed it and it woke me up. I thought, WTF, over??? :D

Now, I wouldn't say it's THST bright! And what are you doing with your computer on in your bedroom in the middle of the night in the first place?!?:D

LOL! Kewl! Sounds as if you two might be better matched than you realized! :D

I don't think so, probably something to do with the fact that both of our logins are on the same IP address. Funnily enough, he got me!

Hey I was on my computer in the midd.... err.... nevermind. :D (this is joke btw)

Oh, come on, I'm Irish, living in America, and American soda's are gross. Really could never match up to European standards. We travel 30 miles to this Irish shop just to pick up real drinks from home - lucozade, my saviour!!!

Don't worry, being on your computer in the middle of the night is right of passage, just sleeping with it gets disturbing!!!

Uh ... perhaps because it's never turned off? I have cable. :)

Well, if you can't sleep with the one you love ... ! :D

Uh ... perhaps because it's never turned off? I have cable. :)

I have a cable modem too, but I only turn on my laptop when I need it. Plus it comes to work with me every day too, and the battery's totally crap to it has to be switched off. You ever even turn off the monitor? Or close the screen on your laptop (whichever's applicable)

Well, if you can't sleep with the one you love ... ! :D
Hmmm, I wonder how your wife feels about this threesome!

You ever even turn off the monitor?
Very, very seldom. Why?

Hmmm, I wonder how your wife feels about this threesome!
What does she have to do with it? We've not lived together for several years now. :confused:

Oh, OOoooh! I see! Living in sin, you should be ashamed of yourself!

:sniper: :upyours: I hate pink. i hate love. this game was intended for nations to be able to fight each other and see who is the top nation. now i feel that alot of people are going to stop playing the game. i say that we change it back to the way it was. plus it don't look god an male nations!!! no one asked us if we wanted to change it, they just changed it and that violates our rights.

I've found a couple of things over here worth going out of my way for... the Root Beer here, is better than I got back home, for example.

But, can I find a decent Guinness? Like hell...

No Ribena, either...

AWwwww, Ribena *drools*. Don't mention unreachable things to a pregnant woman craving everything she can't get her hands on! I miss proper fish and chips too - would kill for a Johnnie Walkers! Oh, and a good greasy chinese, the stuff over here sucks!

Damn straight! Can't get a decent Chicken Tikka Masala, either. :(

No English cheese. No decent chocolate. No 'east-end-style' pie and mash. No black pudding. No blackcurrant of any kind.... Americans like grape, apparently. No chocolate orange... they prefer peanut...

Waaah!

Edit: oh! oh! Kebabs!

If you really want good Chinease food in your area, you need to go to Washington D.C.'s pathetic excuse for a Chinatown. Thats where you get the good Chinease food.

Also, does anyone find it wierd that NationDates matched me up with myself?

what, your same country, or another one you control?

Well, I found a really good, and really simple recipe for good Tikka Masala on line. I'll TG it to you later if you want. So easy!

Yeah, the chocolate thing was a real pisser. We found a World Market close by though, we raid the place for chocolate about once a month, that place rocks! They have proper galaxy, milka and cadbury's twirls/flakes/dairy milk. The cost is extortionist, but it's worth it for a taste of home!

There was a really good chinese restaurant in Maynooth, Co. Kildare back home, where I went to college, called the Lily House. They did kickass chicken satay, good, hot and peppery. Would so kill for some of that now!

The same country.

well if you're your dream other, then so much for opposites attracting eh?

The same country.

They matched me with my hubbie, at the same IP address. It's probably tracking IP addresses all the time so that people don't have two UN memberships on two different nations at the same time. And now they're using it to 'match' you with someone very close by to you. Obviously, you don't live within a (insert value here) mile radius of anyone else on NS!

now that i look at it, i think it is because gaithersburg is the only country in his/her region. i think that's how ND pairs nations.

Thats impossible, I live in the suburbs of a large city. I have friends that use NAtionstates! Maybe, they're matching us with nations that have the same IP adress. Thats why so many people are being matched with thier puppets. Since all of my puppets have died and this is the only country I have now, I'm being matched with myself.

That's also a very strong possibility, didn't think about that!

I fail to see the problem with that.....or am I supposed to be a punk and rant about how NS sucks and would look so much better if everything was BLACK and dreadful and unlively! ;)

Yes! TG me curries! Well, recipes, anyway. (I need to find a way to have curry delivered by email....)

There was an 'English' store about 60 miles from me, but they shut it down a little while after I moved here. Poor fools didn't realise I'd have kept them in business.

And now - I'm off to look at 'expatboxes'... apparently.
