Noobs Guide to the Nationstates Forums

This will be a model guide to the different subforums and posters of Nationstates.

WA

Forced by the UN to be renamed the World Assembly after the WA broke the UN's record by passing it's 50th useless resolution. They pretty much don't do anything besides get drunk at a bar and pretend to pass resolutions that have an IC effect on nations. A fairly intelligent group, it is often said the only thing higher than their IQ's are their blood-alcohol content. Recently, boredom at the WA reached new heights as the WA delegates burned down their bar just so they'd have something to do, building it back.

NSsport

Mostly seen posting on the Nationstates forms, Nssporters are a people of many inside jokes, reclusive leaders and pan Atlantic crushes. Nssporters are also quite often drunk, and are unable to type while intoxicated.

IIers

Not to be confused with draftroomers, IIers are a pathetic bunch who wage wars and kill billionz or pplz daily with their fingers. :sniper::sniper::mp::mp::gas::mp5::mp5::mp5: Its always good to wake up and find out a 5 million nation has nuked you and landed fighters in your country while you were sleeping.

Draftroomers

Draftroomers are an odd bunch, who spend most of their time forming circle jerks around the Mattocrat and his three bitches, forming one of NS's most famous personality cults. Some of these guys will never get laid and therefore channel their unused sexual drive into designing 5 mile long battleships and nuclear powered hunting knives. Most draftoomers seem to be classic liberals, but in fact are all die hard communists.

Generalites

The largest and possibly the most hated, Generalites are a peculiar bunch who worship people for *nod* and proper insertion of :tongue:. Most Generalites are either prostitutes or visit them very often. Often Generalites spend their time in servitude to a mod, so that the next time they threaten a brainwashed bourgeois with death, they can escape with a lighter punishment. Generalites are in love with George W. Bush, whom they regard as the fourth greatest leader of all time, behind only Hitler, Stalin and Robert Mugabe. NS general is widely regarded as the least useful forum (besides II), and all the Generalites agree it should be deleted. They lack any sense of humor and take themselves too seriously.

It was a waste of effort, and not at all funny. Satire is the use of humor to draw attention to some problem. In this case where was the humor and what is the problem?

Also satire is not a phrase, it is a word. :tongue:

Perhaps he is asking Satire if he recognizes the phrase "It's more meaningful than a lot of other threads in General." Which I suppose is a sentence, not a phrase. Although I suppose you could make the semantic argument that a sentence is a completed phrase...

Hahaha, how whimsically ironic. The fact that you probably had to search around desperately for that thread I made aaages ago about an article I find amusing (apparently it's you who cannot take a joke, I wasn't serious about trying to take revenge on whoever(you) wrote it which you can easily tell by reading the disclaimer at the bottem) shows that the thread clearly struck a chord with you since you still seem to deem it significant, perhaps it is you who takes yourself to seriously then.

Yes, but neither a low post count nor a recent join date is a sure method of measuring the quality of a poster. Better to judge them on the quality of their posts.

This one was just... confusing.

He probably has more than one nation and posted as the wrong one. It happens all the time (at least to me;)).

nah, i don't think postcount has anything to do with it, its length of time on the forum. 1 year here and you are no longer a n00b.

Actually no, I remembered it because I wrote something about you whining about it on the ED page, and you seemed generally upset. Whatever, anyways enough with the newb calling I've been around since 2005, just not with this nation.

Actually he said like, five times in that thread alone that he wasn't upset, he just thought it was funny and wanted to know if someone still on NSG made it. And several times in other threads. Including this one.

Besides, it's all harmless n00b fun with the n00b calling...n00b.

Hey, stop stealing my avatar!

N00bishness has nothing to do with age. N00bishness is a mindset.

Yeah, but it's usually associated with a certain age and/or forum age. Just like puberty, most people get over being a n00b, but not everyone.

Newbie should shut the hell up and lurk for a while before posting with the sharks.

n00b will be beaten like a rented mule. Constantly.
