What, so you're never going to really start actually designing semi-decent equipment?

Never.

TPM you should join the draftroom in celebration of this momentous occasion.

Never.

8 billion... I remember those days. I remember alot of those nations of which you listed.lol. Don't leave what ever you do, the 2003 nations are thinning out and the 2004's are the one rising to power.

Good to have you around.

lol, 2004s are the decent RPers now.

Thanks, Hobbeebia.

He got booted from the original. For the reason he's already mentioned..

I wasn't "booted". I voluntarily left, and deleted my designs after I responded in jest with the comment "you guys are just jealous" after Willink posted "Mr. Militia, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

The full story is right here (http://z13.invisionfree.com/The_NS_Draftroom/index.php?showtopic=1709), on the original draftroom.
Quite childish if you ask me.

My apologies, then..I misunderstood.

Never.

We tried, we failed. Your designs live on TPM... :P

I remember the time when you brought out the mustang as a possible replacement for helicopters...i was like, "WTF", and still am at many of your designs. At least, thats what i remember of it.

I also remember when you left and announced all your puppets, i thought you gave away the US' nations but hey, must be wrong :-P. Wow, that takes me back, i probably didn't even post with Hotdogs2 (crap name after all, but i do love the massive SD's i use, and i need a big population for it). So yeah, varied career, puppet wanking suxorz and i have a strong held belief you shouldn't do it unless you have been allowed to do so by the people you are RPing with.

Other than that, the crayon style was better than the PC made designs, looked better IMO. Have fun, but expect me to ridicule anyone who RPs using your designs, as an NS_Der i often ridicule anything i can, so replacing helos with mustangs will bring roars of laughter from me...at least use an autogyro :-P.

I gave USARMY to United Elias, United Elias returned it to me when I came but I let it die sometime between 2004-06.
And well that mustang was made basically to kill enemy helicopters, then do the job of the helicopters it just killed. A fast, but not too fast dogfighter seemed the perfect idea to take out slow moving helicopters. I also have 4 or 5 attack helicopters that I sell alongside the mustang. But anyway, I don't mind criticism. I mind dismissive arguments, carefully disguised "its designed by you so it won't fly" comments and the same 5 people following my threads and posting the same argument 12 times in different wording.
Most of my designs are very well thought out beyond what I actually present on the forums, but even so, none of my technology is 100% realistic, and anyone who claims there's is --unless they are using straight real-life equipment contained in an rp like AMW-- is full of it. Its meant to add color, flavor a visual style to the text based role play we find on this forum, for a game where a fleet of military grade choppers can lift your entire nation and move it to a region of your choice at will.

lol thats true, but then again that in itself is just RP IMO. The way RP works to me is that if the people you are RPing with accept what you have created, and remember just because some of us base everything on what we believe possible on an earth like ours doesn't mean you have to RP with it.

So i would say your designs, whilst some may be flawed (a mustang would fall foul of an sidewinder long before it got into range of the helo for example) in some ways, your right they can be used to add flavor to an RP. After all, most RL designs have their down sides which can be exploited, that can make a good story to an RP (although not always, some people dislike looking too closely at their military equipment, thats also fair enough).

I will destroy you.

Any advice to the '07-ers like me???

Yeah don't buy from him.

or... just don't buy from Clandonia Prime who in order to avoid criticism, simply didn't even bother putting any stats in the short lived Clandonian Corporation Defence Sector Storefront's products. You know unimportant things like height, length, width, displacement, speed, crew complement, etc.

My advice to you New_Brittonia, try not to get involved in RPs that don't concern your nation, and remember the idea of proportional response. For example, if a nation much smaller than you declares it is outlawing gay marriage, and executing anyone who tries to, don't jump the gun. Too many times, RPs that have been started by new players, with only the intention of breaking into the international community and starting to rp, are ruined by a 1½ year old nation storming into the thread and posting "if you don't stop this outrage we will invade and conquer you!!!" which is usually followed by a few more 1 year old nations dogpiling in on the side of the attacker, which usually results in an ill-thought out rp ending in the conquering of the nation that started the thread, and that nation usually quits NS before its finished or soon after. Remember that while you can't win this game, you also can't lose either.
I'll give you a snippet of advice, avoid n00ks whenever possible. If you start an RP which is going to have any kind of war element to it, a good idea is put a notice in the OP that nukes won't be allowed. I think a lot of this is covered in the stickies, which can be sometimes dense reading. I'd suggest you skim a few of those anyway, and learn from other people's mistakes.

I remember reading that thread a while ago. Glad I switched to Mac's Draftroom along with almost everybody.

Happy 8 billionth!

Back when I was like two weeks old yes I had a noob store front sort of reminds me of yours. Now most of my designs like the Lion Guided Missile Cruiser, Danskeran Class Submarine, Avenge Class Battleship which is on flight two stage and soon my Nelson Class Super Dreadnought have detailed descriptions and technical specifications.

I don't have a store front, I have little effort to make and maintain one or a large number of designs to suffice the need for one. New_Brittonia I can recommend several people to buy from if you want accurate, good quality weapons and objects. If you want more help come onto Lineart (http://z13.invisionfree.com/LineartInc/index.php?) and the Draftroom (http://z4.invisionfree.com/NSDraftroom/index.php?).

About war, my nation is a neutral non-belligerent (like Switzerland) soI won't do wars. I just do diplomacy.

That's great but no one was asking for a list storefronts to buy from, please take the advertisements out of your post, that's not the topic of this thread or discussion. Nobody was asking for your storefront recommendations.

I was just trying to give New Brittonia some helpful advice before he gets in with the wrong crowd.

And that's fine, even leave the draftroom irc + link up, but please take the storefront links out of the post, put them in your signature if you want. Please

Since I realized my nation was small compared to the other HUGE 100 million population nations, I made a lot of tongue and cheek posts at first, making fun of my military.

Nice. I wish the huge nations still only had 100 mil. Its quite a shorter distance to make up, as opposed to a couple bill... *sigh*

Nice job with the "puppet mastering" too. That's pretty funny.

Why? Its not exactly damaging your business your highly profitable business, be open to the free market.

OK, so. . . am I the only neutral nation on NS?

No there are other nations which try to remain neutral and make peace between others, so you are not alone.

Unless you're playing FT. Then nukes are about as harmless as missiles get.

OK, I took the idea of being a large NS Switzerland, as I can't RP wars at all. . . but I am good at diplomacy.

Perhaps you should participate in the formation of NEATO (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=529419) which is going to start now.

I personally am on the surface relatively neutral, but tend to engage in wheeling and dealing in an attempt to gain an advantage. Actual exertion of military force on my part is rare.

I am a rich nation, so we tend to give large sums of money in order to help other nations keep my positions

The Sovereign League (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=506863) is a better and powerful alliance, New Brittonia should join that seeing as he's capitalist which I presume if he's rich.

NEATO is not alliance.

Erm and why should I care?
