The Proud Nation of Marathon was the most important nation in the history of NS. He hated everything equally and in doing so became very popular, and back when NS was young, in 2002 the World was split between anti- and Pro- marathon camps. It was later deleted by moderators because of private feuds between one of the Moderators and Marathon itself. Marathon lived on as a kinda occult figure in the senor nations that have been around since it was, aka 2003.

Now Marathon has returned and the MODERATORS have tried to cover it up and have LOCKED FOR NO REASON the post called MARATHON RETURNS and locked its accompanying poll.

This is one of many instances illuminating the Fact Moderators wield two much power! Who is with me when I say we should restore marathon and the moderators need to get a life!!!

Where is the Myrth option?

Who is with me on saying that this thread is a copmplete imitation of the first and will result in a lockage and probably a deletion this time around?

Get a life man. Just because you hate the mods doesn't mean you should spam II with these crappy threads.

Stop ranting and raving.

So you were banned for hating everything? (assuming you're Marathon...?)

Even now people are banned for hating Jews, blacks, gays, etc. We're generally a tolerant forum. You might want to post more on General than II, though.

Post afore lock...: O

I WANT A MYRTH OPTION! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PROPER POLL WITHOUT THE MYRTH OPTION!!! [/allcaps]

Maybe the Mods should use their mod powers to edit the poll and add a Myrth option... =P

EDIT: Woot! Time Warp!

...why is this in II? It obviously isn't RP related.

*Sacrifices Marathon Revived to the Mods*

EDIT: Ah, much better.

So, someone moved it to General, finally. Let's see how many people here remember Marathon.

Ah damn, the Mods moved the thread yet they did not add the Myrth option! :eek:

Was this supposed to be moved into General?

Who??????????????

Was this supposed to be moved into General?

Probably not.

Only pretentious assholes refer to themselves in third person all the time.

Sounds like you were deleted for being a dick, get over it. I doubt anyone here is going to be like "Yeah! No more mods!"

For the most part, they do a good job. If you want to act like a total asshole to everybody with no consequences, you can always go to 4chan.

So, someone moved it to General, finally. Let's see how many people here remember Marathon.

Marathon who?

Oh, and is deliberately antagonizing the mods a good way to return? Doesn't seem so, but what do I know?

What's a Deuschbag? or a Deutschbag? A German bag?

Mods have two much power. DEAT and what is the other one again?????

:D

Probably not.

Unless they wanted to save themselves the trouble of sorting it out in Moderation and instead just threw it to the dogs.

Good thinking. :)

Where the F**k's my Myrth option? Honestly how long do I have to wait?!?

:headbang:

What's a Deuschbag? or a Deutschbag? A German bag?

I believe it is an old, old german bag used in the first world war...

Firstly, I'd like to mention that were there a desire on the part of the Moderation staff to "cover up" the existence of Marathon, your nation could easily have been deleted and your posts removed permanently from the forum.

Secondly, I suspect that your posts here are indicative of the fact that it is hardly the Moderation staff that has no life.

Thirdly, I've moved this thread to General. That will be punishment enough for your repeated nonsense at present, and it's a better forum to discuss the issue than II is, certainly.

Ha ha. Awesomely said.

Ah, yes, yes. We can have fun in the thread! Yay for more nonsense!

We can giggle at the silly egotist same as the rest of you.


It'll be interesting to see how he fares in the current incarnation of NS. I'm betting on "eaten alive" or "utterly stymied by actual logic".


There will be no "Myrth" option. Quit asking, please.

looks like they were before my time

Gee, thanks for making NSG sound like a some sort of cannibalistic Pacific island.

"Look, one of the iron gods has landed again! Quickly, let us devour his flesh and make his power in we!"

Oh. I like these bags (http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/human-skin-laptop-bags) better.

lulz... Tis just a joke, Fris =D

Well put.

Awww mannnnn

Well, welcome back I guess.

Wait, who are you again?

Wait, ain't we at NSG like that? *bites on flesh*

Yum.

Oh and......

**clasps hands and widens eyes**

PUH-LEEAZE?!?

xD

You're not in 2002 anymore, Dorothy.

I was a Generalite when I originally joined NS, and I'm still a Generalite. I am quite proud of our intellectually and sarcastically cannibalistic heritage.

Thats funny, I dont remember being in any camp. I dont even remember anybody named 'marathon' although I may have forgotten it in the vast sea of various persons I've interacted with. I remember ol' Xerox though. Possibly the first guy on NS to nuke HIMSELF out of existance. I think he got banned later for being a sort of proto-Hataria though.
I think Mr. Marathon just has ego issues myself. He is kinda funny though. His level of arrogance and conspiracy-mongering remind me of good ol' TRA.

You're not in 2002 anymore, Dorothy.

o.O Someone remembers the person!!! O.O

Now what the hell have I landed here for?

I knew it.

You're just bitter because the time-warp favored my post. Why can't you let me have this one time-warp win? Just this once? :(

You know, someday one of us should do a poll and find out how many of us (and I bet it would be a LOT) have managed to exist around here, have our say, make our jokes, debate, argue, fuss and disagree, all without ever having to be banned, or warned or anything and STILL enjoy the place.

I guess we hear less about that than the folks who insist on not getting along. It's that whole squeaky wheel thing, I suppose.

Thirdly, I've moved this thread to General. That will be punishment enough for your repeated nonsense at present...hehehe.. cruel and unusual punishment :DWait, ain't we at NSG like that? *bites on flesh*

Yum.who's got the BBQ sauce?

Alright, but only because it's you.

Not necessarily. He stated in an earlier thread that he was from December '02.

Well, sorta. I have a pretty good idea of what the forums were like five years ago, and I have a pretty good idea of what they're like now, and I can tell you that 2002's big-shot is today's n00b if he hasn't stuck around and adapted. This is '07 and arrogance and random hatred gets you nada from the experienced players. Or as a certain monthly publication would put it, Maddox is reduced to 'Tired'.

I am, of course, generalising broadly. This probably applies only to a very small number of players. (i.e. Marathon, Beeker) But generalisations are FUN!

Sigh. Some of you need an NS history lesson.

Marathon was one of the first 10,000+ posts posters. He was deleted a long time ago.

Brothers, an outsider! Why has it come here? What does it want on our island? I say we cook it and eat it.

On second thought, let's skip the cooking part it looks too bitter and tough as it is.

Alright, but only because it's you.

Yay! *feels an overwhelming sense of goodness and joy*

Does that mean we go straight to the eating part?

I'm having a ball

Does that mean we go straight to the eating part?
Yes. I've already eaten some. *bites some more*

Try it with coconut milk. Yummy.

I'm having a ballYou want the testicle or the eyeball? cos all what is left is whats below the belt .. :D

Does that mean we go straight to the eating part?

Soon. But first, the ritual ticklng and mudbath!

*starts slam dancing on Marathon's grave*

Don't know you, but you seem a bit egotistical... Seems to be a proper punishment.

I'm having a ball
Then you're eating too fast.

Then you're eating too fast.

Finally someone got it. :fluffle:

Can we use chocolate icing?

Yeah, so, I just checked my dossier, which had the names of some of the most notable nations in NS and II from way back when (most of them have been are nonexistent these days, but their names are still listed), and you are not there Marathon. Don't be ridiculous, you weren't that important, and you weren't a big deal anywhere but inside of your own head.

They are fine as they are, but I wish the cults would go away. The mods hate it and it's just plain retarded.

Thats because the MODERATORS continently left me out. Look at this instead,http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Marathon
I had A cult following after I was banished.

The grand revival of Marathon just hasn't lived up to the hype. I guess I ran all this way for nothing.

Of all the triumphant returns I've witnessed, this is by far the dullest.

The Proud Nation of Marathon was the most important nation in the history of NS. He hated everything equally and in doing so became very popular, and back when NS was young, in 2002 the World was split between anti- and Pro- marathon camps.

I think you mean TOO much power, not TWO much. lol :p :D

Oh, that's nothing. Do you know how many typos and punctuation errors and bad phrasings I had to correct in the poll to even get it into decent shape? Not to mention taking out the trolling bits.

For maybe about 2 days. I never heard your name when I joined and those with bigger personalities than you have disappeared without a trace, so I doubt your stories of glory.

He also misspelled "impotent".

And missed out "humble".

There is a new invention out there! It's called spellcheck.

As for this link I never heard of "Maradong" since I have been on NSG. The Wiki article I assume was written by a deranged lunatic.

The Wiki article I assume was written by a deranged lunatic.

Actually, it was mostly written by our NSwiki host, Goobergunchia. Marathon vandalized it a few times to try to make himself more impressive, but it was always reverted.

I'm not quite sure why Goob was so taken with Marathon. Apart from that little quirk, he's mostly right in tha haid.

Isn't a moderator supposed to act continently?

If you post image spam of moderators acting incontinently, I'm gonna have to ban you.


Just say no to Tubgirl

I'll just keep your pics on my hard drive then.

Leverage.

No shit = sure lock.

Were there even mods in 2002?

So.. Marathon huh.


Seriously, why bother?

Blah, blah blah blah.... sounds like egotism; pure narcissism at work here. Tripe is all this is, pure tripe. Why not just play a scratch CD; the effect would be the same.

Who honestly cares who you are? So you have a cult following. Myrth has a bigger one. He has the higher honour of having been a poll option, something your reputation hasn't afforded you. That should tell you something.

Frankly, I'm... amused to see that the mods are being lenient. If they truly too much power, they could have shut down your blood soap box and turn it into ash before you could blink. They're being far too charitable for someone with a chip on their shoulder; a vendetta.

And to think you were deleted back when the mods pretty much ran this place about two shorts shy of full blown anarchy compared to the bloody KGB infested psychotic dictatorship we have now.

This is even more lackluster than Beekers return, and that was pretty damn lackluster...

Hey, guess what. Your last thread was locked. And guess what? It's getting locked again. Why?

It's pointless. Don't do it again. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your poll options, btw. Not bias, whatsoever. ;)


Let's add a nice official warning in there as well, for trolling and for spamming.
