Well, I just want to know what I don't know about what you know that other people don't know about Nationstates. I know that Wilgrove and SaintB are elves, and Baldwin for Christ is an alien. So, enlighten me, what do you know about Nationstates that other people don't?

Many NSG posters are not human. The entire 'Nationstates' game was designed as an elaborate Turing test, a way to lure large numbers of humans onto these forums so that Max Barry could see how good his AI bots were at appearing human while participating in a wide range of discussions. His ultimate aim is to refine the AI sufficiently so that it is capable of writing all his books for him.

You really don't know how the UN works do you? Think of the UN as a government department or even a government. There are huge problems they have to fix but because it is hard to do they just speak about doing things without actually doing anything to do it. While the small irrelevant problems which are easy to fix they work on and put in more effort than is required so they can say they do fix problems.

lol, high school chorus instructors are always... insistent. I always used to get drafted into every kind of performance through high school and college just because I was "the guy who can hit the low notes." It always surprises everyone to no end that I actually have a good part of my vocal range that extends above C4, I'm just never allowed to use it.

She gets a huge kick out of making me and my brother switch the base and tenor parts mid song and having my sister move from alto to saprano at the same time. I think I'll find a reason not to oblige her next year though. She got into a big time 'bring back the alumni' kick.

I hate quick changes in register... I was in a show at one point in which I went from a low of Eb2 in one song to a high of G4 in the next... my voicebox almost exploded.
