the NSG signal.

greed and death
27-03-2009, 05:42
So I am wondering if any of us actually get on TV as politicians should we come up with a signal that we can identify ourselves to NSG with?
something that doesn't stand out and we can get away with during an interview. I dont know what do you think?

If I am ever famous and on TV, I shall drop my pants and moon the camera screaming, "VIEW THE ANUS OF YOUR NEW LORD AND MASTER!"
That's how you'll know that Fiddlebottoms has been elected President of the World, and then you'll know that it is time to start looking for other planets to move to. I hear that the Summers on Jupiter are quite something.

Not neeeded, I'm afraid.

Whichever one of us it was would be in an interview, or debate, or discussion group, and someone would trot out some alleged fact or figure. The reply of "I'll wait for the source for that, shall I?" would be heard echoing throughout all of NSG-space.

GnI has the best idea when someone makes a claim all we have to ask is Source? NSG should know then that this person is a Generalit

Yes, but let us make a preliminary smirk at the camera man.

The signal should somehow involve A = A. As in, if someone says something obvious, you reply with "yeah, and A = A".

But being that much of a smart-ass on television could damage one's political career.

My old van is on tv, pimping Avis rental cars...who won't actually rent me a car, if I recall...(for eagle eyed people who for some reason give a fuck, when the guy leaving the Saab closes the door, the white van behind him, mine. Well, was, it died last June).

That's when we use the Lawyer-signal:

It summons a masked superlawyer bearing a suspicious resemblance to Neo Art. *nod*

We need a mug shot of Max Barry, a plate of glass, some glass etching chemicals, a large light, Gotham City, a large amount of criminally negligent and insane evangelicals, trolls, and emos, and a mayor that will allow us to beat the fuck out of the lot of them.

But if your on TV as a politician you've already admitted to being one.
What you would then be admitting to is being a NSG member.

Sort of like the secret symbols used for skulls. Just now for NSG.

In the British case, I think the following would do...

"Mr Speaker, the Right Honourable Gentleman is a troll. He has flamed me on numerous previous instances, continually resorting to ad hominem attacks and ludicrous strawman distortions of my views. May I suggest, Mr Speaker, that use of the banhammer may be appropriate, and that, given his previous offences, MI5 be consulted with a view to establishing a Delete On Sight order?"

Easy...

Just refer to any country or state as Nationstate and insert the term elsewhere as well...

Also describe countries by WA categories.

- We consider the politics of <[insert country]ish> nationstate to be civil-rights lovefest
- Nationstate of ZimbabweBurma is horrible example of Father Knows Best form of government
- We the United Nationstates should work to eliminate Tyranny by Majority

etc..
