I believe there comes a time when the elders of NSG must band together to compose a list of rules for the little newblings to obey, or risk a thorough ass smiting because they have breached the golden rules of NSG.

The 10 Commandments of NSG

Brought to you in part by Kryozerkia, home of the hyper-active Soviet cheese weasel!

I - Thou shalt not misuse smileys. For that matter, thou shalt not use the gun smileys or the finger smiley.

II - Thou shalt use proper spelling and grammar. Typos are common, but do not detract for the overall context, but, bad spelling and grammar do. Take note to prepare thy arguments well, lest ye be subject to the wrath of the older posters.

III - Thou shalt not grave dig for old threads. Start a new one.

IV - Thou shalt not double post, spam or make copycat threads.

V - Thou shalt not troll, nor shalt thou feed the trolls. Even if the trolls are starving, thou shalt not feed them, for these abominations taint our water, pollute our air and otherwise irk the elders.

VI - Thou shalt cite thy sources when necessary, and when thou art asked to, thou shalt provide thy sources.

VII - Thou shalt lead by example.

VIII - Thou shalt not copy Drunk Commies Deleted or Lunatic Goofballs, as these elders are unique and any attempt to copy them shalt constitute infringement.

IX - Thou shalt remember that sarcasm on ye ole internet isn't apparent to all, and ensure thou make use of yonder rolling eye smiley to ensure that thou doesn't insult unnecessarily.

X - Thou shalt not use NSG for thy whiney emo kid problems. If thou seeketh advice, do so if thou need it. But, do not whineth unnecessarily, as thou will be mocked and chased out of NSG by the anti-emo crowd.

Correction made, you mighteth wanteth to looketh into such other verbiage similarities.

This is what....the billionth time this thread has been done? :p

This should be stickied or whatever it's called over here. Very concise, very true. As a n00b I would've been grateful for this.

I cannot be copied. At least, not all at once. However, sometimes specific parts of me can be copied. Never leave me alone with a photocopier. :)

*sigh*

Again?

And who are you to claim yourself elders? :p

Thanks, corrected.

Yeah, but it's my first one! :p So, I'll make my own instead of digging up the old threads!

They sticky them here, but... I don't know if the mods would so it unless it was requested.

I'm way older than most of the little tadpoles here. But, at least I'm a sprite young frog, and not a cranky old toad.

:) That's true, you're already more than 3 years around here :)

Which reminds me that I totally forgot my 4th NS birthday :(

Hey, I resent that! :p

:eek: do we REALLY need them? i mean i can see the fun of thy speaking in the old tongue but really now... most of them are obvious enough to infer that people break them on purpose when they do and some of them are plain silly: "thou shalt lead by example":confused: ... did you run out of commandments or something? :(

You should have commandments about posting in other forums and RPing *nod* This is a monoforum. Posting in other forums is a cardinal sin.

:) That's true, you're already more than 3 years around here :)

Which reminds me that I totally forgot my 4th NS birthday :(Oooh! I'll invite you to my 4th NS birthday. It's either on the 10th or the 11th. I can't remember anymore.

*hands you a package of Depends* Happy Birthday. :)

Thank you :) But why do you give me Depends (I had to look it up)? Are you afraid that I pee in your mud? :p

Correction made, you mighteth wanteth to looketh into such other verbiage similarities.

Perhaps you should, too, seeing as the regular second person singular verb ending is "-est" (-eth is third person singular) and the infinitive has no verb ending at all as it's, well, the infinitive. So your "correction" is way off: it's "thou seekest", "do not whine", and you also omitted "thou wilt" which was incorrectly written as "thou will".

If I ran out, it would have been the 10th one. I figured it looks good if I have a nice short one in the middle.

Hey, I resent that! :p
I called you a tadpole, not a cranky toad. It's a good thing.

Oh yes, this shit again. NYAH! And you can't do anything about it!

Ah! True. However, I consider myself more of a small frog than a tadpole. Over 1,000 posts I'll have you know! (Albeit only just).

More like that half frog, half tadpole thing. You know, it hops like a frog, looks like a frog, but has that sexy tadpole tail still...

Technically, anyone with a "2003" or below on the sidebar, with more than a thousand posts, a population of at least six billion, and a sense of humour.

In practice, it's a bit more limited.

And my thread still exists, it was amalgated into the General Forums Ruling thread. Which newbies tend not to read. Maybe it should be retitled "NEW PLAYERS READ THIS, OR REPLOID THE FORUM NINJA WILL FEED YOU TO HER CYBORG!"

Biggest regret of my life is that I didn't sign up to nationstates before the Xmas holidays. I'm now forever stuck with a nation that was founded in 2003 and not 2002. :(

Well, generally, if you were deleted and came back again, you're still considered an elder. Sort of like Nazz.

What was your original nation anyway? You look familiar.

And behold, for I give unto thee The One Commandment:

Thou Shalt Chill.

Seriously, if I could hand down one commandment to this forum, that would be it. Deep breaths, people, deep breaths.

Yes, there are libruls and conservatives all over the place. There are Teh Gayz and a loud little pack of racists and a bunch of weepy Xians and some angry atheists and a whole lot of other people who would be delighted to piss you off this morning. It's okay, they can't bite you through your computer monitor, so just sit down and relax a little.

Not exactly saintly, but I'm a pretty good kid. Except for that part in commandment V about not feeding trolls. I think it's a crime for anyone to go hungry.

II - Thou shalt use proper spelling and grammar. Typos are common, but do not detract for the overall context, but, bad spelling and grammar do. Take note to prepare thy arguments well, lest ye be subject to the wrath of the older posters.

Speaking of proper grammar:

Thou, thee, thy, thyself are singular
Ye, you, your, yourselves are plural

In order: nominative, accusative/objective, possessive/genitive, reflexive

Correction made, you mighteth wanteth to looketh into such other verbiage similarities.

Perhaps you should, too, seeing as the regular second person singular verb ending is "-est" (-eth is third person singular) and the infinitive has no verb ending at all as it's, well, the infinitive. So your "correction" is way off: it's "thou seekest", "do not whine", and you also omitted "thou wilt" which was incorrectly written as "thou will".
Ah, yes, seems you're faster than me...
