Would things be better? Worse? Something else?

I want to run just thinking about the possibilities...

Would things be better? Worse? Something else?

Someone made a thread, a long time ago now, asking whether NSG should rule the world.
The result was a resounding no.

Meh. A world under me - I mean, NSG as a whole - would be no worse than the current hell we live in. Bring it on.

Nothing would ever get done.

Nothing would ever get done.

And that is different form the current state of the world how?

It would be like the real world, except even more of a mess.

is all that can come of this

And that is different form the current state of the world how?

Is that a philosophical question?

I NSG ran the world I would put a lot more effort into constructing my arguments and making myself heard.

if NSG ran the world, it would be one huge forum. Only part of this I don't like is the PG-13ness of the idea, but it sounds great otherwise.


Also: Everyone could do the TIIIIIIIMMMEWAAAAAAAARP!

The entire world cannot be rated, so if NSG became the world, X-rated posts would prolly be okay.

Jolt would have an even harder time...

Would things be better? Worse? Something else?

Liberal democracy. But the mods would outlaw porn. :(

Excellent poll.

Except for: why would you have an option for "without bunnies" when bunnies were the best thing about the other option to begin with? *sniffles*

True.

I imagine, rather than being removed due to pg-13 restrictions, porn would simply become NSGified.

*imagines*

And that is different form the current state of the world how?

You have a very good point. I suppose it wouldn't be much different. We would just be covered in Spam.......Wait we already are.....so definately no difference.

Fuck! The lag! No!

The PG-13 thing wouldn't be a problem. Remember, mods would only have UN level power IRL. So you could ignore them whenever the hell you want to. Which is why we currently do not rule the world. The mods got a taste of power, and they are not willing to give it up. I don't blame them though, power tastes great, especially with mayo.

Anyways, I would think that the world would be a much funnier place. Which is a good thing, so I voted better.

kitties and godzillas hugging each other and living in harmony? sign me up!

Fuck! The lag! No!

Well, we could always get a better server then. With us owning the world it would certainly be easier.

way things end sometimes

And that is different form the current state of the world how?

And there you have the basis of the house of commons. A collection of people who were interested enough in politics to push themselves forward far enough to run a country.

There would be no difference if NSG ruled the world, its people very much like us who already do.

Actually I quite like the idea.

Let the Purge begin :cool:

Well, we could always get a better server then. With us owning the world it would certainly be easier.That would almost be worth taking over the world for.

Everyone would have a say.

But we would need to build more bridges.

I felt like this needs some more creative text, but it was all I could come up with right now...

Fine, but we shall now refer to it as being voted off the island.

The first person to be voted off the island is Ruffi!

*thinks*

No! Wait! We need him so we can blame our failures on him. Kinda like our own Emmanuel Goldstein.

That's it. Zilam is the first person voted off the island.

That would almost be worth taking over the world for.

Aye.

I doubt we could do any worse.

Who would you put in positions of power, though?

The OP's name is oddly fitting.

It would cycle through facism, anarchy, mega liberal socialism, libertarian unobtrusive government, communism, and theocracy.

So basically, no one would know how to act each day.

If NSG ruled the world, I'd imagine there'd be some negative side-effects....

http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s281/Irony147/trollpage.jpg

Max can be king, and the mods can be the parliament.

I was thinking more about the people already in power we will replace....! LOL

are you forgetting where Max comes from

are you forgetting where Max comes from

okay so he can be Prime Minister...

well if the RL UN was run like NSUN that would be slighly funnier/disaterouser/alcholicer/drunker/sillyer/

but the world in general would have to depend on who we put in charge

Max can be king, and the mods can be the parliament.

Hey! What are the rest of us? Plebs?

Overthrow the Old Order! Chaos Now!

And that is different form the current state of the world how?
there would be even more typos

There would be no world.

there would be even more typos

and timewarps

Max can be king, and the mods can be the parliament.

I want to be Minister of Cookies, please.

and timewarps
Oooh, we could have time warps in real life!

Oooh, we could have time warps in real life!

It would certainly give us the upper hand in negotiations.

I wouldn't mind retaining my title as Minister of naughtyness. :)


Just be careful, however, because I predict that whatever position Lunatic Goofballs get would cause a dramatic influx of ads such as this one:

we'll if we'd all get government jobs then i'd want to be Minister of .........i dunno

Why, what would that be?

Why, what would that be?

would you let me lead the army and blow up things i think not

you just want to be a postal worker? :p

Oooooh! Buttons!

*starts pushing them randomly*

would you let me lead the army and blow up things i think not
No army in NSG world!

Well, I for one would welcome our new NSG overlords. What could possibly go wrong?

you just want to be a postal worker? :p

you never get your mail , i would lead the other postal workers as we go postal on you :p

No army in NSG world!

told you

Hey! What are the rest of us? Plebs?

Overthrow the Old Order! Chaos Now!

The more posts you have, the more power you have, naturally. :p

But a pleb is still a pleb...and that includes you ;)

But I have more influence than say, oh, I don't know.. you.

We'd all become slaves and be forced to build pyramids and bigger jolt servers, thats what would happen.

But I have more influence than say, oh, I don't know.. you.

Yes dear...now here's a nice cup of tea to sooth yer seething soul. I know its a shock to find out you are just a normal pleb...but you'll survive...

Earl Gray? Earl Gray?!

*throws tea at RC*

Awesome.

I still haven't gotten the zeppellin. :(

If NSG ran the world?

How many people would be "deated" for rule violations? :p

Earl Gray? Earl Gray?!

*throws tea at RC*

Who's Earl Gray?

Who's Earl Gray?

Generic tea, of course. Why else would I be so offended?

Oh right...You mean Earl Grey!

Funny thing about tea is that the tea you usually have in yer tea bag are blends of teas from Kenya, India, Indonesia, Malawi, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and China.

Gunpowder tea is not as much fun as it sounds....

(not tea but coffee for me...)

For mornings, I prefer espresso.

For mornings, I prefer espresso.

The only downside to espresso is that there just ain't enough of it...and if you do get enough you'll buzz like a bastard in the morning and come the afternoon yer crashed out at yer desk...

not that that ever happened to me! *ahem*

I'm trying to decide if I want to be Secretary of Education or Secretary General of the UN. Either way, I could do so much... ....good. :)

If you were Secretary-General, could I be Under Secretary-General for Peacekeeping?

not that that ever happened to me! *ahem*

When I get up early enough to make espresso, I usually make 4 cups and then chug till there is no more.

I don't get that major suckage buzz, so it's all good.

How odd! I thought I had already replied!

4 is the optimum really...anything less is not worth making and any more leads to hectic-ness ;)

I'd be the Minister of Defense. Failing that, I'd be the leader of the NSG Secret Police! We would deat people for rule violations. /nod

Everything would be the same except nobody would have inhibitions.

The citizens of the world woulde be liberal, anti-Bush atheists.

North America and Europe would be like the General forums.
Africa would be Spam.

The earth would be covered in spam, particularly fluffle spam. The world would fluffle and flame, day in day out.

The world would be a lot like NSG.

Would things be better? Worse? Something else?

Nothing would get done. Everything would be debated endlessly.

If you were Secretary-General, could I be Under Secretary-General for Peacekeeping?

Hmm...

Maybe. How handy are you in a pie fight?

kitties and godzillas hugging each other and living in harmony? sign me up!

Yeah, me too. ... And more of those shiny red buttons, please?

Why is it that I get the feeling that if NSG ran the world, we could expect regular gun fights from all the various radically opposed political factions?

But remember, only one of the two warring factions supports guns.

Because I would make dueling legal again.

but only at dawn...

if NSG ran the world it woud probably last half an hour before some n00b troll decided to launch the nukes to kill all the libruls/a-rabs/jooz/mexicans/brown people/french/UN/emos/sk-hate-orz/commiez/etcetera.

Well said...sadly. *sigh* Oh NSG, why are you so weird.

But remember, only one of the two warring factions supports guns.

Alright! :D I'm on the winning team (Not conservative but AnCap, but since there's not an armament that AnCaps don't like, I'm the winner-est!)

Just don't tell Fass.

LoL! Could I still be Captain of the Guard and Fluffle Duchess?

Also, that would be a world in which I might be happy to live!

Well, I for one would welcome our new NSG overlords. What could possibly go wrong?

I like this idea!!

I shudder to think at all the do-gooding you would achieve in such positions.

I still haven't gotten the zeppellin. :(
*ships LG zeppellin*

Everything would be the same except nobody would have inhibitions.
Would you have lightbulbs over your head every time you spoke? Cuz that could be wicked cool.

Also, I was somehow born without the "shame" gene. The world is still deciding if this is a good or bad thing.

That sounds pretty acurate.But what about Latin American and Asia?

Because that is why we love it so?

Just don't tell Fass.
haha, I wouldn't mind living in a world ruled by smunk and ruff.


The world would be spammy and sarcastic and occassionally burst out into flames. But ya know, this could be good for the world.

There'd be a lot more fluffling and random digressions.

Gay marriage, abortion, immigration, and pirates and ninjas would be the only thing ever on the official agenda.

Also,innuendo would seep into every facet of life, even those where it currently doesnt exist (like official laws)

Also, occassionally the world would just end, because it would not be available. And by occassionally I mean every night at the same time for an hour or three.

Excellent poll.

Except for: why would you have an option for "without bunnies" when bunnies were the best thing about the other option to begin with? *sniffles*



True.
DEATH TO ALL SURFACERS!
VOTE MOBRA!!!

The more posts you have, the more power you have, naturally. :p
^_^

Somehow i fear that the World would become too liberal, but then there are also conservative sections of NSG, in any case it'd be Anarchy and people would die, to be sure to be sure...

If NSG ruled the world, I'd imagine there'd be some negative side-effects....

If it were based on postcount, the world would just become incredibly spammy. It'd be delicious. Or, if not delicious, at least mounds of fun!

Pretty much the same.

Once all the commies and do-gooders and christians and anarchists and libbies and anyone who cannot construct a witty acrostic for "NSG" are dead or at least muted.

"Nelson Sucked Goats" might just pass. "Nine Sexy Girls, And Deat Menacing Invading Noobs" would get you the keys to the city.

Of course, we'd ALL have the keys to the city. Heck, who needs keys? It's an Utopia, right?
