Why is NS losing so many nations?

When I joined NS in early December, there was almost ninety thousand nations. Now there are close to eighty one thousand. What is happening? Is this normal in the summer, or are more people leaving the game because of lack of interest?

I have 46 NS Nations, keep a record of them on notepad as list of NS Nation Names, 01 to 46 with their passwords, Regions, and updated Regional Influence, update them a few at a time, a few days a week, for a few seconds to a few minutes.

I am mostly ignoring & starving the Populations to death, because I am afraid to answer any more issues as it changes my Nation Category Type, it is cool that our Civil Rights, Economy & Political Freedoms change as we answer Issues, it should change up or down, perhaps, after every Issue to make it more cool, but not our Nation Type, or give us a way to change or request a Nation Type change, which will never happen,
perhaps on Nation States 2.

Also keep records of nation issues rank, this should be done on Notepad.

I have kept 1 notebook with all the diffrent changes on a particular nation,
and 1 notebook with all the diffrent changes in general of all the Nations as I
answer the issues, with the general Page comment, organizing the notebook takes time, as it goes by issues in alphabetical order or numbers, once it is set up it dosent take that much time to keep up with it, but I must admit my notebook is in-complete, perhaps with a new Nation it will be complete.

I also keep it on Notepad.

Since our Nation Type changes and I dont like that, I
have been thinking of RP ing a Nation in Nationstates or
International Incidents with the issues, changes and comments,
even add a few of my own issues possibily with options,
in diffrent posts and one upadated general page, but
I think those issues should not be graded by me.

If anyone wants some specific suggestions on how I set up my notebooks,
you may telegram La Habana Cuba.

Hooray for puppet nations within puppet nations!

As for the OP, maybe the admins have more time now during the summer to clean out some inactive nations.

There is a Thread on how many NS Nations we have,
others have more than me, I.

Some to practice with answering the issues for your main nation or nations,
I have 4 main nations, also every once in a long while, I get nation name creative and cant help it, like an addict, a Copy Holic & a Nation Name Holic.

:p

i was the only one in my region for awhile but then i abandoned it and joined others.

as to the ops question, like many things on the internet it gains popularity and then loses popularity. depending on if it changes to keep appeal to people will determine if it stays online.

Is this normal in the summerAs it was answered in your last thread, the population always drops during the summer. This is perfectly normal. As is people claiming it's a sign that <insert game here> is the "real" reason for the drop-off.

I'm guessing the other version of this was locked for excessive spam and threadjacking. Assuming you guys can stay on topic, I'll leave this open, even though you have your answer.

Is questioning La Habana Cuba's total weirdness counted as staying on topic because I want to know more but I can't think of the right question?

The question I have revolving around my head is: Do you murder small children much?

Yet I don't think I should leap into that right off the bat, I would like to lead up to it like: Do you have any other strange habits?

This issue has been perplexing me.

As I have posted Barringtonia, other fellow Nation posters have many more nations than me, I, there is a thread of how many Nations we have,
as for my record keepping Copy Holic, Name Creation weirdness habits,
a few other fellow Nation posters also keep many records, you are always welcomed to send my Nation a Diplomatic Telegram, perhaps I can give you specific suggestions on how to set up your own Notebook & Notepad records similar to mine, as for staying on topic, the changing of Nation Types as we answer issues, which makes me feel like I cant answer the issues anymore is my discontent with NS, but I cant force myself to let my Nations die because of my love for the intrests I have stated on my post, I lost many of my Nations during the Great NS Nations Flood and had to recover my Nations from the bottom of the Great NS Sea one by one.

This Post maybe updated later.

Apologise for what? Not insulted in any way, your are still welcomed to Telegram my Nation any time on any matters, including Economic, Political and Social relations even though our Politics may differ on Dictators Fidel, Raul and Cuba,
but on NS I can deal with it.
I RP issue La Habana Cuba like Fidel runs Cuba.

I like to Post in semi RP Mode.

I wonder if others of my fellow Nation Posters feel the same way I do
about the Change in Nation Type and that may be causing some to loose intrest in NS?

I am mostly ignoring & starving the Populations to death, because I am afraid to answer any more issues as it changes my Nation Category Type, it is cool that our Civil Rights, Economy & Political Freedoms change as we answer Issues, it should change up or down, perhaps, after every Issue to make it more cool, but not our Nation Type, or give us a way to change or request a Nation Type change, which will never happen,
perhaps on Nation States 2.

The only time I liked my Nation Type Change was when I decided to make my Psychotic Dictatorship Nation democratic, thats why I sujest a way to change or request a Nation Type change on Nations State 2 as it will never happen on Nations States 1.

If I may refer you to my Post 15 for a complete updated post.

It was around 125,000 nations when I joined. Number goes up and down all the time. What I find odd is that so many of them don't interact on the forums at all.

I think the obviously Marx-inspired auto-generated comments about nations on their homepages doesnt help either
