We all have to do it at some point, and join RL. Many of our brethren have already succumbed to it. So my question is, when do you plan on leaving NS?

Hadn't planned it at all. If/when I leave it'll probably be simply because I'm too busy & just don't get on NSG anymore.

Ah, less than 300 posts to go then, that's good. :p

I kinda left for a bit, to hide in GM - then I returned. So whenever life gets too busy I guess.

Leave NS? There's a world outside of NSG to leave to?

What the hell am I still doing here then?!?! :mad:

I don't leave NS. I just fade away.

I'm leaving at 10k :D

I don't plan on leaving at any point, though if I ever get to the point where I'm so busy that I have little free time I might find myself abandoning it. We'll see.

I'd rather not, though. I'll need NSG to keep me sane once I'm in the Navy.

I'm in the Navy.

Still dreaming?

I left after the forum just kind of petered away so to speak...

Now I'm back since there is no debating whatsoever on UMP or GM.

Still dreaming?

Not dreaming.

Probably when I return to the US for the foreseeable future (Though that date keeps getting farther and farther away) and will have people to argue with.

Japanese just don't debate or argue, they have group agreements were one person says something and the rest chime in with "Yes, that's so". Drives me nuts sometimes. ;)

I'll be hear 'till the Ragnarok, making my last post as the world is scorched into a fiery cinder.

The phrase "when Hell freezes over" comes to mind......

I'll probably eventually check it less and less until my nation eventually dies and that'll be that. No plans for that, though.

Actually now. My wife is taking me out for dinner. :)

Eh, I won't anytime soon. I just sort of take short breaks from time to time. Occasionally a nation of mine will die, but I think that's from burnout of running multiple. I just have the one now.

when I no longer have a pluse

When this computer finally dies. Takes several good whacks to get it started, and sometimes it won't start at all. Since I only use it for news and entertainment and not work, I probably won't go and shell out several hundred dollars for a new one when it finally dies.

Well, duh. When we get a significant other who reintroduces "priorities" :p

I'm leaving at 10k :D
how dull. Make it 9999 which is so much cooler.

how dull. Make it 9999 which is so much cooler.

Oh, nice :D

I suppose when someone realizes higher up that NS2 will never come out and decide that no one is buying the crappy books anymore they then shut the site down. Until then I will be on and off NSG about as much as my favorite ex-girlfriend Samantha. Which if that is any indicator was very often.

I'll be hear 'till the Ragnarok, making my last post as the world is scorched into a fiery cinder.

In other words, until President McCain starts World War III.

*runs*

When I lose my sense of humor. *nod*

How much time I spend here depends on how much uni work I have and whether there are interesting threads to post in. At the moment there are interesting threads and uni isn't back until the 25th (finally!!! I've been off WAY too long), so I've been posting. I'll slowly stop posting soon, and then hopefully come back every now and then, if I don't, then that's when I leave, if not then the cycle continues.

When I lose my sense of humor. *nod*

It seems our schedules are synchronized.

I will, inevitably, stop for a while as the post quality goes down and the political news gets boring. And then I will observe both picking up again and make a new nation. This will insure I never get a post count too high.

I believe you're right. :)

I thought Ragnarok ended in ice, not in fire...

Old NSers never leave, they just fade away...

Then they show back up in a random post. ;)

Like Vetalia?

to hide in GM .

so thats what you were doing

so thats what you were doing

*Retreats to isa proof location...*

Then they show back up in a random post. ;)

indeed ,just pop out of no where

I thought Ragnarok ended in ice, not in fire...

See my previous posts.:D

when I find interesting people to talk too or possibly when I start giving a rats ass :p

When I reach 1 million posts. So never.

When I reach 1 million posts. So never.

Careful, thats what they said about 10 000.

I just realized that I've been here for rather a while now.

I have never made any plans to leave. Sorry.

When I lose my sense of humor. *nod*
that wasn't particularly funny.

*Retreats to isa proof location...*

just one more and i'll have 150000 poeple in their isa proof locations :p

i did not have to leave real life to join ns so i see no reason i should have to abondon ns to go on with my real life.

i am however, forced off the internet entirely every few years by equipment attrition. owing to my limited cash flow, it may take me anywhere from a month to a decade to return when this happens. and as it happens, generally without prior warning when it does, there's no way i can put cameroi, or whatever other nation i happen to be playing at the time, properly on ice to await my return.

this is what happened to carlemnaria and why i'm now cameroi instead.

this is also why i haven't volunteered to help mod anyplace.

and why i'm not any sort of genius guru, dispite my many years of playing with tecnology, almost from before there were i.c.'s, let alone cpu's on a chip.

=^^=
.../\...

Well, seeing as this is about my 6th nation on here...

When something happens to cause me to abandon my nation, and it gets lost, and I finally can't be bothered to start a new one.
So probably not for a long time seeing as I'm rather stubborn.

Japanese just don't debate or argue, they have group agreements were one person says something and the rest chime in with "Yes, that's so". Drives me nuts sometimes. ;)
So desu ne...

Makes me laugh, but then, I only get it very occasionally on TV.

I will of course not leave until RL has become more interesting. I suspect that will be when I leave for my adventureous holiday some time after the middle of the year (though of course I may have a thread running to update stuff that happens, which I then neglect...) Then my honours year will suffer because I'll take up time I don't have to spend on NSG.

But then, once I finish honest work my boss may make me stop. Or, if I'm lucky, it'll actually be exciting enough work to make me fade away, as some put it.

Japanese just don't debate or argue, they have group agreements were one person says something and the rest chime in with "Yes, that's so". Drives me nuts sometimes. ;)

What's wrong with that?

I'll be at my fifth year involved in NationStates come April. I quit officially when I started university, but I kept checking back to help out... and then my nation got accidentally resurrected and now it's staying alive. I think I'm ensnared forever.

No one should leave.

Plans to leave? I have no plans. We'll see what the future brings and all that.

There was a thread like this on another forum I frequent, several years ago. I remember it because I dug it up recently - I posted in there that I'd leave after I reached 3,000 posts. I have almost 12,000 and counting, and I'm still there...

Nobody 'plans' on leaving. One day you just get bored and stop. Or maybe you never get bored and never stop. Who knows?!

These days all I do is sign in once or twice a week to keep the nation ticking over. Sometimes I'll head here to General and see what's happening.. As for when I'll be leaving, I think I'll be able to continue my current form of participation for some time, so not sure.

I can check out any time I like, but I can never leave.

Probably when I return to the US for the foreseeable future (Though that date keeps getting farther and farther away) and will have people to argue with.

Lies. I refuse to believe this ridiculous claim without an amusing story to back it up.

I'll never really leave. I've taken extended breaks before, but I've always come back. Obviously. :p

I've often gotten burned out on General, but stuck around for nation-building and regional gameplay. I've had periods when I've been too busy to be active because my boss expected work out of me (bosses are strange that way). My main nation was in danger of CTE last year due to power outages (and a few minor nations DID succumb). But, so far I'm still here and have no plans to leave.

Meh who knows, when I get bored of it, when Bottle and I agree too much, when Cabra gets over here to buy me beer, or when the Mightly Leeds Utd are back in the premiership!

Hadn't planned it at all. If/when I leave it'll probably be simply because I'm too busy & just don't get on NSG anymore.

Pretty much. But even then i'm bound to return sooner or later to check back on things. Like I did. :P

When it becomes possible to leave Hotel California, I will leave NS.

About a week after the site shuts down permanently.

or when the Mightly Leeds Utd are back in the premiership!

So we are stuck with you forever then?

I have no idea, could be tomorrow, or the next day or a thousand years. I really don't have a clue. This is because death is not as certain as it used to be, i could be hit by a car any day, suffer from terminal illness. Maybe if i have kids they can take over my nation for me. That would be nice, i like NSG, despite a few trolls or arrogant comments it's not bad overall and it's useful to learn political info.

I know, my problem is i never give a straight answer.:D

i've been less and less active over the past year, but damnit i'll never leave for good! *heroic stance*

Oh, nice :D

9768, I say.

My answer is that I probably won't leave, just cut back. I'm down to about 1000 posts for this year, from obviously higher tendencies. Basically, I occasionally get bored and get involved for a bit, then slack off, and round and round we go. Leaving is for losers.

I thought Ragnarok ended in ice, not in fire...

In simplified version it goes really cold winter, lots of people die, then the battle begins, the world ends in Fire as Yggdrasil is burned down to the roots, of course killing all humans. The final battle ends soon afterward, and the world cools to ice.

I'm leaving at 10k :D

I had an enforced leave of absence for many years...but I came back like a bad rash in the end ;)

I'm hardly on NS ever, anymore, but I don't think I'm going to ever plan on entirely leaving. I still lurk around once in a while. :)

"Planning" on leaving NSG never really works. I've left before, and may do so again. No planning involved.

We don't miss you.

*pushes you into a vat of tapioca pudding* :p

*pelts you with tacos*

When it becomes possible to leave Hotel California, I will leave NS.

Beat you to it.

that wasn't particularly funny.

*pushes you into a vat of tapioca pudding* :p

When Scientology bans this site, along with every other forum that has the world "scientology" appearing in them.




Or when LG leaves.

When Scientology bans this site, along with every other forum that has the world "scientology" appearing in them.We could get together on ScientologyStates then! =D

I had intended to leave at 10K but I was arguing. so I missed it.

I think 20, unless I post this and am already over 20, then I will just leave.

oh, crap! I'm reallly close to 20K!

uh......erm......soon I guess.

*quits posting*

*makes a puppet*

We don't miss you.

That's not what you said last night. Or this morning. Or right now.

That's not what you said last night. Or this morning. Or right now.

That's why we don't miss you.

The next time I forget to check my actual nation for more than a month. They might not give my password back this time. :p

I'll probably eventually check it less and less until my nation eventually dies and that'll be that. No plans for that, though.

This. And even then, there's no guarantee I won't come back with a new nation within a year or two, as happened the first couple of times around.

I'm planning on leaving when I reach 10K and making a goodbye thread. Then I'll immediately make a new nation and bash people that I was once nice to.

I'm leaving at 10k :D

I'm leaving in a little bit, to see a movie and get some grocery shopping done. I'll be back at some point tonight though.



I know that's not what you meant by leaving. :D

I don't plan on leaving anytime soon...why would I? It's a lovely place, full of interesting (sometimes very interesting) people, and lively (sometimes very lively) discussion. My presence here harms no one, including myself.
Even if I don't post quite as often, I see no problem with lurking about.

So I'm here to stay, for the time being. I intend to become one of those old "farts" here that acts wise but at the same time curses the very ground he stands upon and snickers behind everyone's back.(snicker)

I thought Ragnarok ended in ice, not in fire...

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

I don't plan on ever leaving, not that one could.. but will obviously not be around if I am too busy.

When the gods strike me down or when WYTYG leaves, whichever comes first.

I will die with my hand on my mouse and have my funeral on NSG

When one of three things die:
The Internet
NSG
Me

I'm planning on leaving when I reach 10K and making a goodbye thread. Then I'll immediately make a new nation and bash people that I was once nice to.

Mmm, classy! :)

That's why we don't miss you.

Hehehe. Fair enough. :P

Nevar! I spend more time on GM these days, but I still like to keep a finger on the ol' NS pulse. I love you guys!

"Planning" on leaving NSG never really works. I've left before, and may do so again. No planning involved.

Hi Laerod! Haven't seen you in a while! Did you "leave"?

Depends. With parole, maybe only in a few years.

I'll probably still log in and peruse the topics until the forum closes. There's something about fiery political debates between anonymous intellectuals that's more addictive than Youtube and Facebook combined,

I don't see it happening as long as I stay in the NS World Cup...

I want to be cryogenically frozen and have my brain hooked into the net, so I can remain on NSG forever mwahahaha....

riiiiight no...

*points to his sig*

You know I coined that phrase because it's true... There is no leaving NSG for good, especially not planning how and when to!

I'll probably get banjected from every region out there, even The Rejected Realms.

I will remain a fixture of NSG forever. When I finally do have to leave, I'll pass my account on to a relative that the name of Fiddlebottoms may continue.

The last zombie posts...

September, 7th, 2008
Spore will comsume most of the rest of my life... maybe.

Spore!

I'll probably let my nation live forever, though I might not be active, my nation still would grow, and be on vacation mode.

The last zombie posts...
Exactly. I've got to insure that Jolt never escapes their shameful legacy:

11-30; Nevah Fohget!

Nobody 'plans' on leaving. One day you just get bored and stop. Or maybe you never get bored and never stop. Who knows?!

The Charr will leave! Because I have the STORM HORN!! All will fear it! Rin is ours and The Charr will be driven back over the wall! ;)

As for me...

As long as Ifreann doesn't call me on it, I'm here as long as I'm breathing.

*pushes you into a vat of tapioca pudding* :p
no please! Not the tapioca pudding! Anything but the tapioca pudding!

I believe that it was on November 30th, 2006 that several posters got their accounts screwed up. I also believe I'm the only one with a zombie account (no sig, no post count) that is still active, as the rest either got new nations or wandered away.

I followed the paper trail to the official Moderation thread on the deletion of Hogsweat, which I'd completely forgotten about, only to realize I was one of the first people to post in that thread... go figure. =/

When shall I leave.....well, I haven't posted anything in months, barely post at all. I am a remnant of a time long gone(pre-Jolt). I just click an issue every few days or so, just as habit. I am basically gone, but still here. Over 4 years, and fading away.

And they were advised not to post with the screwed up accounts.:p
See, see, see! They're just trying to sweep me under the rug, just like that.
But the man isn't going to keep me down!
That is but one of the many similarities between me and a month-old carton of Chinese food.

Great thread Zilam, I would love some Public Poll options on this thread.

Never. even though I am the most ignored person on General Forums & International Incidents. Once in awhile a few of you will throw me a bone here and there. Ok when I die. Even then all our posts will live on forever on the internet. If can post from beyond my grave I will.

I was a ghost for quite a while. Well, my nation was anyway. :p

I'm leaving when I hit 10,000 posts or when NSG bores me. Whichever happens first.


Also, Zilam, you left once already didn't you? Or was it twice?

When NS dies and stays that way.

either
1. NSG dies
2. I die or
3. Penguins evolve to have mutant powers

I had lots of family business to attend to, and couldn't spend much time on NSG each day. Check in, post a couple of comments and only wait five minutes for replies. Furthermore, if anyone wanted to carry it on or debate what I said, I had to bow out.

I found there was a pretty sudden tipping-point, where I didn't really feel part of NSG any more. You pretty much have to invest an hour or so, or it just isn't worth doing.

One of the reasons I started to RP was I got tired of answering Issues. That changed my 52 NS nations UN Rankings. Sometimes we want to change the rankings, but most times not.

I know I have a very unique style of RP. I know I am not a good RP er. As far as posting on the general forums and International Incidents, If can post from beyond my grave I will.

When one of three things die:
The Internet

what?! you'd let little things like those make you leave?

the young people these days! no stamina, that's the trouble! no stick-to-it-iveness, that's what it is!

I have not been here long enough to think about leaving. One day I hope to be an old-timer.

Right now because I didn't win sexiest NSer. ;)

I agree. Kids these days.:rolleyes: I blame in on youth.:p

Leaving?

When I Die.

I aint going til Max pulls the plug.

When the abrahamic religions have ceased to exist. ;)

When the mods kick me off. Then I'll just recycle and come back as someone else.

Or when I get permanently bored, whatever comes first.

Again, I haven't made any plans to leave. This is my second nation, I ended up getting busy and first nation got deactivated so I just decided to start new one altogether. I am sure at some point I will just fade away as other things take more precedence again but for now I am having fun. :)

I have been on the same pace of checking this account every weekend, from time to time saying hello to an old friend, and from time to time even trying to role play in my or another region. If I have a few weeks of forgetfulness due to old age (31), I could very well have my account cancelled for lack of use.. But, for now, all is well in Danmarc.

I will say I wouldn't plan on leaving, but midterms are fast approaching...

Aaaw :fluffle:

i left and joined the real world, but i came back. it is very scary out there. i need my nsg blanket of crazy conspiracies.
