Well, it's not the most exciting game in the world. You pretty much need to be a self-starter, if you know what I mean. You should find a region to join, preferably a big one that has its own forum (Europa is a decent example). You'll find folks role-playing there and you can join that.

Nationstates General is the place where we play with our food, call each other names and generally discuss everything except the game.

Indeed. People often get taunted for daring to remind us what the NS stands for in NSG.

Game? There's a game attached to this forum?

What? Oh...that one. The one with the 30 day timer that you have to beat...

Yeah, good times. :)

Don't worry, I've been playing this game since 2003 and I am also a little unsure.

One bit of advice on issues: don't dismiss them. Your country won't change unless you take a stand on issues. And it's kind of fun to see what the outcome of certain decisions are, it's not always what you think.

the game is to post as much as you can before the mods ban you or your head falls off.

all kidding aside...

don't forget to log into your nation at least once every 30 days. You loose your nation, and you cannot post in the NS Forums.

Also, Read the stickies... especially the One Stop Rules Shop (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=416023)

Basically all you do is answer the issues and try to get the best nation....here on the forums you can do roleplaying etc., but the game itself really isn't much. The good part is all of the forums.

As I've said before: Welcome to the madhouse.:D

Really, welcome. The forums (General especially:cool: ) are the real attraction here. Most of the denizens don't bite (A few are actually nice people).

Enjoy your stay.
