1,000 Days: You'd think I would have clicked the the 'delete' button by now

Okay, so I logged on earlier today and, while checking the telegrams waiting to be read, I happened to glance at the oldest message in my 'In Box'. Received less than a month after I founded Klonor, my oldest telegram is 1,000 days old. An impressive number, nobody I know has a message of equal age. In fact, though I actually passed the 6 billion population mark on the same day, I'm much more excited about my aged communication.

Anybody else have such an impressively long-lived message?

No, I pretty much delete mine straight away.

As of today, one of my telegrams is 1065 days old. It's just a brief history of my region, of which I am the sole heir to.

I also have a 877 days old Telegram from Westrogoticae saying 'This is BMV talking through the master... ;)'. Let's see how many people remember BMV. BMV was cool.

Jeez. This guy's telegram must be pretty old now...


My oldest one is 1357 days old, from within my first 5 months of playing NS. The message was from one of my other nations, used to preserve the message here so I wouldn't have to lose it somewhere on my computer. The message describes a weapon the nation was selling to other nations.


Heh, actually, this nation, The Blu Dragon, carries quite a few old telegrams, the YOUNGEST being 69 days old... I don't use it much, except for storing telegrams.

I think it's appropriate that this nation also resides in a likewise very old region- Wysteria.

You really have to try to only have 10 posts and grave dig threads over a year old.

Perhaps it was meant to be funny?

My oldest ones are from 683 days ago, from Kellarly, FairyTink, Tactical Grace and Anarchic Conceptions, none of whom hold active nations anymore. :(

Actually, I was playing the conscientious poster by not re-posting a topic that already has multiple threads, after a judicious searching of "oldest telegrams".


As to the number of posts I have... I figure the NS forums is much like the theory that an infinite number of monkeys at infinite typewriters will eventually write shakespear- except in this case, it's a hundred thousand posters at a hundred thousand keyboards eventually making every topic pointless to discuss.


Also, this isn't my main nation, which may have something to do with it.

I have one from...715 days ago. I don't like it as much as the one from 594 days ago, a wonderful message from Dilber in the midst of the West Pacific Dominion incident.

I did have some - but I cleaned them out some time ago. Oldest one now is 137 days.

One of my puppets had one that was over 1000 days old (I forget exactly how old).

1022 days ago on a puppet (the only puppet that survived from 2005 and before besides my main nation).

It's a message stating that my nation should join The Youngworld, as of today it still is not anywhere near that region :p

Awesomeness en masse. It's a TG from the first UK NS meet as well, for a bit of nostalgia. I found out the other day that the Temple used to be a public toilet and that a lot of people complain it still smells of wee :p

I've got one from 1134 (heh) days ago. The previous one before that was my first, but it simply says "unknown" instead of a number. I think I broke NationStates. ^_^

Yes, I can supply you with the items you request. I'm wondering if you would be interested in joining our Region. I'll put it to you this way: If you are interested in joining us, everything you ask for would either be provided free or of very low cost to you. In our Region, the larger "Super-Power" nations as well as every nation, work to build eachothers military. This dosen't mean that all our stuff is the same. We "pool" our resources to supply the Region. We have a "Free Trade" Alliance umongst us. This alliance is called APTO (Allied Powers Treaty Organization). We do not war amongst us, unlike the E.Pacific.
Mrs. President,
You will find no other region like ours. We offer you the growth, support, and economical future your Nation deserves. Why worry about being attacked? In our region, we act as a whole, 22 nations at your disposal! Take a look at some of our members, I think you will like what you see. We are not a bunch of warmongers, but we do have our wars. We have not lost any. When we are attacked, people dont figure that all of us will join...not true. We are "United", and when we are attacked, not only do they deal with us, they deal with our allies.
I formally ask you to join us, sit back, grow, and know you have the security of billions.
Let me know, I win over you all by a good margin. And it also shows my age, with myd ol old APTO recruitment TG. XD

Wow, I got excited for a second that Klonor-san had made a thread, but alas, from last year.

Well if Klonor still has his TG sitting there, it would be pretty close to the age of your one. This thread is a massive gravedig.

Ahh, it's not that bad.

Perfect place for a meet up since we couldn't really miss each other :D
