Ok, so my boyfriend showed me site, cause well he's a jerk and knows that I have work to do, and yet wont be able to get anything done because this is so amazingly cool sounding. So my question, being new and all, is what do we do on here other than check our issues?

We debate about political crap, discuss how religion, and/or atheism is teh ebil, discuss what kind of pie is best for throwing, how many times you masturbate a day (No kidding, thsi was a topic once), etc, etc.

On the actual GAME, you just check your issues. Here at NSG(Nation states general) , see above. Over in II(International Incidents) you get to make up cool stories about your nation (I'm on a break from it for a little). And that's about it.

Actually, just about all of us lose the game fairly regularly. You might consider mentioning that, so they get it out of the way.

There is one rule and only one rule, and that is: all new posters must parade around the forum grounds completely nude for one month.

This is true, however...

I'd go to this page and read through from top to bottom - http://forums.jolt.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=1235

Only read the top 3 within each section, right at the top, labeled Stickied.

I'd skip a bunch, terribly boring, you'll probably end up back in NSG anyway.

You seem to have forgotten my current outlaw status here for wearing a hat that day.

It was a neat little Trilby hat too.:D

1314 strode into the room, red eyes casting a dim light over the dark forum room. Calmly walking up to Barringtonia, he shook his bandaged head. "You should know better then to insult II." 1314 lifted his head up quickly, and pulled a gun to Barringtonia's forehead. With sadistic satisfaction, he pulled the trigger and watched the bullet penetrate Barringtonia's skull, blood spilling onto his face. Putting his gun away, he walked out of the room, and back to II. Where he belonged.

You absolutely do but we require pics for proof I'm afraid, just a formality so we can process the paperwork, I'm sure you understand.

Otherwise, it never happened.

You know, much as I'm all for documentation, I'm pretty sure the site would kick me off for that. Given that it yelled at me when I signed up for trying to make "F*** you I'm drunk!" my motto....

Yes, there's a strong 'no posting when drunk' policy, which is odd given Katganistan is a moderator.

Blondie, alas, you have fallen among sinners, publicans and Generalites. If you want a detailed answer, go to the Gameplay forum, where many a newcomer has asked the same question, and receive the Truth.

The most recent query I can find is this one (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=557268), but there are plenty of other ones. Just read back a bit. And the stickies, too, of course.

Barringtonia, I believe Basement Ka-- I mean, Basement Cat -- would like a word with you.

It's been nice knowing you all these years. Be brave; we'll remember you ofttimes at night, when we sing the old songs.

What do we do here...

We birth the selves that never were, donning guises of varying quality, for as we urge the authentic from others, we find our own selves too crude in a judgement so deep and harsh we will not register the verdict in our own books...

Log on, and the eyes of the mask merge to one monitor, and as much as it was not so consciously deliberated to be something other than the other you think is your true you, you will find who you thought you were was just the one mask you were wearing inside out, and wearing thin...

What do we do here, in nationstates...

Don't think it fake, false, for its transience, from the absurd to the profound, is not unreal, at least not more so then who you are IRL, as real as you count yourself...

The lure is this...in being something you aren't, in a place where you aren't, you can be all the things you wanted to be but can't where you are, in what you wear, and why...

What do we do here in nationstates...

See a strange and small sampling, of too small a number to infer a truth and too large and loud to ignore, for behind the gun smilies and pithy sigs are your peers all over the globe, and though not all are manifest as they claim, in nation or age or gender or any of the other boundaries that are leapt so easily by your ISP, they are all something...

What do you do here in nationstates?

Bathe is all the swirling and bubbling fluids of idea, some stagnant with the wretched and the trite, some fresh and cool with careful considerations, some rich and flavorful with educations of many years, some hot and caustic, acerbic with the hatred of pained lives...

Oh, and watch out for Neo Art. He may be my lawyer, but he's still a Jew.

Dude, one time, Kat and I were at the Marywood Library, checking out this new pop-up edition of Summa Theologica, part of a traveling exhibition of catholic children's literature of the 13th century, and Kat was so blitzed on Pinot Evil that she gushed a big sour red stream of winepuke onto a 72 year old security guard who was trying to get her to the ladies room while she was screaming that Mel Gibson may be a hateful leathery shitbird, but Man Without Face still deserved an Oscar.

When she sobered up she maxed her Credit Card in the gift shop because she felt so bad. Now I have twenty seven Thomas Aquinas Bobble Heads and 11 Stations of the Cross calendars from 2006, still shrinkwrapped.
