OK, so there's the Ozzie meet up thread at the moment, and there've been tons of others in the past. People don't attend ones in their own countries because it's too far/people can't agree on a midpoint etc, so I've thought of a genius plan to get the whole of NS to meet up. We all give our locations, find the centre point between them, and the nearest piece of land to that is where we meet. It could be a tropical island, the middle of the Atlantic, anywhere! What d'you say?

I'm pretty sure said place would be at least a few hundred metres underground.

Well I, for one, would be impressed if we had an undersea NS base.

Are you buying my plane ticket?

Inside Neuschwanstein.

clearly that would have to take place in Northampton seeing as how its the direct centre of the universe...

*gets out the blankets*

with a bar naturally

To the Moon!

Im only going if the place is close to me. And when I say 'close to me', I mean down the street. And when I say "Down the street" I mean I'll make up some lame excuse, like the flu.:p

What do you need land for? I'm living under sea level as it is, so just stick with the centre point, even if it is in the water.

I hear Virgin package tours aren't too bad :wink:

*ever so slightly wishes Branson was on NS*

New Orleans?

seriously though we could just have a meet of the Dutch and English in London tbh its not far

Wait. never mind. I have AIDS. It's, uh, a new strain. It's airborne, you might want to stay away.

Flu medicine: the new candy

But London sucks, and does not deserve to be the capital of either England or the UK.

Somewhere that isn't too far north. Might get eaten or something up there.

Or too far south, get mauled by a lion or some shit.

so I've thought of a genius plan to get the whole of NS to meet up.

Why would anyone want to meet the lot of you?

Why would anyone want to meet the lot of you?
Because we're such lovely people?

Even the word "people" is a stretch, let alone "lovely".

Because we're such only slightly disagreeable assorted creatures, weirdos and bigots for the most part?

Morbid curiosity.

Everyone likes to go to the freakshow once in a while, no?

The meet should be in Manchester.

We have a bar with a space shuttle you can sit inside.

But London sucks, and does not deserve to be the capital of either England or the UK.

are you suggesting we get smashed on a ferry to Amsterdam?

Why would anyone want to meet the lot of you?

because we are rich.

are you sure thats not just a car with the wheels nicked?

To find out you're a fat balding Republican from Topeka?

When did the limeys hijack this thread?

They have a life sized Predator as well and a really hot goth barmaid.

we took over the forum in about 2002 iirc

hmmm a goth girl surrounded by a room full of predators you say?

Manchester could be good though their hasn't been an NS meet in awhile

I'd say Fiji is quite central to all of us.

When did the limeys hijack this thread?

Our servers, our thread.

Suck it bioatch.

Since when has the UK not been the 51st state?

I always thought the majority of USNS was east coast?

Bermuda > Fiji (though really their both British so what does that tell you?:tongue:)

Since when has the UK not been the 51st state?

I think you have that the wrong way round :p

*points at US music scene*

Lies.

Barbados perhaps?

I'm going to see The Killers in concert later this month, so that's faux Americana. Aha!

Common misconception. You have it the wrong way around.

How many of your presidents share the same first name as our famous kings? George, William, Richard, James, John?

It's a secret but our royal family actually runs you guys. Sush, don't tell anybody.

Well, at least now we can blame the Brits for all our problems.:p

Som bara råkar prata flytande svenska och inte är ett dugg fet?

Most of the world already does. What's one more country?

Barbados perhaps?

also British but that sounds lovely :cool:

I agree that blaming the Scottish is always fun

Se rättvist, därför att du lärt svenskt tänkande det Budweiser bikinilaget var verklig, som inte tar bort rosta från din varubil.

If the Swedish to English translation is anything to go by, that should be a mess...enjoy...

To the Moon!

The moon's too cold this time of year. How about Mercury?

Why would anyone want to meet the lot of you?
Cheap anonymous sex?
Morbid curiosity.
Same thing.
Our servers, our thread.

Suck it bioatch.

Aren't the servers in New York?

That's the first stage of invasion...Hmm I think let something slip there. Oh well. *puts Ifreann into a coma*

Not exactly "Uber", now is it?

"See fairly, because that you learnt the Swedish (adjective, not noun) thinking the Budweiser the bikini team was real, that does not remove rust from your delivery car (lit. merchandise car)".

Did everything taste purple for a second there?

*wanders off in search of orange sherbert*

No, cab fare.

Couldn't be that those are biblical or general European names, could it? :D

To be semi-serious though, NYC or London would probably be the geographical center of Nationstates, right? Even if the idea of everyone flying or driving in is probably unworkable, a convention would be pretty cool in theory.

I hear Antarctica is nice this time of year.

Maybe we could pool funds for some webcam action, hosted through NS?

Hell, the US has a lot of places that we could gather...NYC, Houston, San Fran, Seattle, not to mention internationally: Tokyo, London, Sydney....

Why would anyone want to meet the lot of you?

So that's a "not attending" from you Fass?

I hope so the evening will be much more enjoyable.

Well I remember reading about the lineage of some of the US Presidents and Bush is related to George III, Adams was descended from one of the Edwards and there were a couple of others as well of which I don't remember.

We all just dig directly downwards. It will be a great journey, to the centre of the earth!

I. myself won't be coming. Because I'm too young.

Well, at least one can say that they'll have you to supply an ample amount of bitter to the occasion.

Ah, the personal attacks that make life on NSG so much fun...

i was about to say "where?", but then i saw...oh well anyways i got another idea for communicating to each other if you guys are interested, just an idea.

you could write letters to each other, and leave them at a known location to you and the other person (this means you don't need to give away your address) in a hidden location perhaps, or at a post office somewhere neutral and where you'd be in no danger of being stalked by freaky people.

i know you can easily email each other but well it's a thought, letters are more personal i think.

And it would make us feel like we were in a spy film.

"The raven mainly flies high over Moscow in the summer", or some other shit.

Well, at least one can say that they'll have you to supply an ample amount of bitter to the occasion.

You know maybe you should come Fass, as you will provide something else for me to laugh at.

But could you explain the bitter comment?

Verging on flaming?

So we're agreed on Afghanistan then?

I agree that blaming the Scottish is always fun
Hey!

...actually, fair enough.


So we're agreed on Afghanistan then?
Last one to Kabul is a terrorist!

Last one to Kabul is a terrorist!

Oh come on.

That was the easiest setup I've ever seen for a Carry On Up The Khyber gag I've ever seen.

Oh come on.

That was the easiest setup I've ever seen for a Carry On Up The Khyber gag I've ever seen.
And how many such set ups have you actually seen?

And how many such set ups have you actually seen?

You'd be surprised.

I work with some outlandish people.

Fair enough.

I can't say I actually like any of the Carry On films, so that's probably why I've never really seen any set ups for any jokes based on them.

Oh come on.

That was the easiest setup I've ever seen for a Carry On Up The Khyber gag I've ever seen.
I refuse, on point of principle, to get involved with anything Sid James-related.
