Alright, we've all been playing NS for awhile now. Some, it seems can't seem to quit.
How much is too much?
Well, just for you Dear friends, I've compiled a list.

1) You start dreaming about NS.
A) You dream your RP's and wake up violently plotting revenge over an RP you dreamt that, never really happened. (I have been exhibiting signs of this.)
B) You dreaam you are a character in your Nation.
C) You dream you are a character in someone elses Nation. (I once Dreamt I was Queen Kaymiril VII of Kaymiril.)
D) You make up most of your nation in your sleep and post it when you wake up. (Guilty!)

2 You see every day situations as potential Debates/RP's

Examples given:
A)Folding the Laundry: There Dale stood, folding his Laundry. Suddenlt the Anti-Laundry Nazis busted in and forced him at Gunpoint to stop doing his Laundry.
B) What type of Laundry soap should be used? Should Laundry soap be used at all?: Tide is Soo much better, its Like, the best. Most definatly yes, Soap should be used, stinky.
C) Riding the Bus: John was sitting quietly going to University, when suddenly, a Smelly Bum got on and sat next to him. The terror, the terror....
D)Buying Groceries: Martha was at Wal-mart buying a pretty new Dress, when sudden;y, Aleins abducted her. Oh poor Martha.

3) You act out your Nation when your away from the computer

A) Pretending to be the Ruler of your Nation
B) Putting down an address from your NS nation instead of your real one.
C) Making an ID from your nS Nation and trying to use it at an RL Store.
D) Asking random people if they heard of/know how to get to your NS nation. Points if they actually do know of your Nation and are another NSer.

4)You Stalk Max Berry hoping to get some sort of special NS advantage, like a 5 Trillion POP.

5) You begin acting Like a Mod, and eventually take over as King/Queen/It of the Moderators, even though your never made into a Mod.

6)You talk on one thread so long it reaches over 10,000 posts. (I, Kaymiril, Snake Eaters, Balrogga and Theao have done this, on "The White Tower, the Greatest College of Magic" thread, The Originator has Long since Died, but we're keeping it alive.)

These are just a Few of the symptoms you may be addicted. Exhibiting symptoms not listed here, or know someone who is, List them here, for the benifit of ALL!

Thank you.
Dr. Hisenhelger, Docter of Warhaven.

I'm on summer vacation now, but I signed up here right at the end of the school year.

I was involved in a major storyline here (Saharistan War) and everyone was posting more than me because of school.

On top of thinking up superweapons during class, I would do anything possible to go to the library so I could sign in here and make a post.

This is joint work of the channel #sport on irc.esper.net:6667, I am just nerdy enough to maintain this list. Since it began on the old forums, some parts do not apply anymore.

First, it is an NS thread not a II thread.

Second, people in II typically post only one line

like "Kelly Bites Pete's D*** off"

or "Fire the missles"

So if I tend to be less than impressed by a less than year old thread that has a ton of posts so be it.

You consider Billion pop nations 'the little guys'

You recall fond memories of Rp's in the past, and realize your up at two in the morning arguing about the posting style of I.I. versus N.S.

(There is a huge gulf between God Mod and single line posts, I.I. has always been about quick and dirty...N.S. has always been more thoughtful. Excluding the true I.I. institutions like AMF of course)

The Gettysburg Address took less than three minutes.

The speech before it took more than three hours.

The Gettysburg Address was far more profound and meaningful than that bloody long speech.

So yes, while there is a lot of BS and newbishness in some II threads, you cannot discount the fact that there is quality rp here.
I can state in a few sentences what you can say in a few paragraphs.

Do watch that you don't slam the good rpers with your petty and biased generalizations. I happen to find NS deadly dull.

I happen to insist on a modicum of decent rp and interaction in my thread. The creator of that thread may have died off, but he left it in my care "when [he's] not around."

We are getting off the subject of the thread.
But I'm not trying to dis the thread. Only point out that is not the greatest thing since sliced bread or the creation of Pink Bunny Cola.

Actually the greatest thread was Granny Slag's Cookie Thread, source of all the "I'll give you a cookie..." posts.

The greatness thread trutly is not measured by the number of posts it has, (or its age either) but by the number of references to items from that thread. (Or in somecases to a famous type of thread)

-You call all II players wankers
-You bust into II OOC threads to flame and then go away again
-You flame anyone that makes an inferior tank/rifle/aircraft/ship than you

You know you're addicted (or just have issues) when:
1- In the middel of a geography class or history class you claim something is wrong with
A: The naitions on the maps were invaded or broke apart before the map was finished
B:One nation was annexed by your nation

2- You argue with your best friend about the physics of your super weapons (wasted five art classes doing so)

3- You carry a birth certificate saying you were bron in your nation

4- You tell people you'll n00k them if they don't back off

5- You try to explain to your mother/father that you are the leader of a nation that can crush the world (I did this once. My dad actualy called my mom when we were in a diffrent province and told her I'm fucked.)

6- When away form the forums you suffer from withdrawl if you don't post for more than a day.

7- If you are at a friends place drinking and partying and you still find time to post (Yes I did this once.... after I got chuged down five beers and mouthed off to everyone on the Halo2 matches we were on)

*Shakes Head* You've read too much into my statements above. I was trying to say the following points:

NS posts typically are longer and more drawn out than II posts (Some of us like to paint and some are individuals of action) So don't try to treat them as equivilants when comparing thread length.

That using thread length to measure, well anything at all, is ridiculus.

I could say something here about the Gettysburg address being the wonderful optimum of imagery and length...

Nor am I dumping on any Rper really...I'm not sure how you got short post = bad, but likely it was an unitended consequence of me not really being impressed with ten thousand posts. (I do disagree with the apparent statment that long posts lead to God Mod)

The War: Der Fuhrer Dyszel read this Thread began before I was a nation in May 03' It is a Pre-Jolt thread...

Pfft. How about: "You remember when War: Der Fuhrer Dyszel read this" was started.

...you remember when there was only 5 forums (NS, UN, Tech, General, JenGov)

...you remember when nations larger than the United States were FREAKING HUGE

... :twisted: :evil: :mrgreen: and :tantrum: mean something to you

...the names "eternal thread" and "Mankind United" make you giggle

...the fact that you've seen more of these suckers than you can count

You remember your own thread (in General) just like this one.

Yet you contribute to this thread anyway just because you're too lazy to look yours up.

HS! OMSG! HMOG! and I thought I was addicted...

Another addition from me:
You might be a bit addicted to NS if you won a NSWC
