Who in Max's name ressurrected Marathon for a few minutes?!?

Slaggy's going to have a heart attack of he sees that.

WTF?

lol

VIVA EL MARATHON!!!!!!

I hate marathons. Im not good at running.

Having a puppet there, I see quite a few of these. I have no idea why it happens, but it seems the mods will resurrect a modbombed nation, then kill it right away. Strange... :?

Hey Goober, I checked in the mod center and Marathon's nation did not exist.. So I'm not sure what happened there. However, as far as I could tell from the mod center he has in fact been DEATed.

I've seen this done before.
IP check, perhaps?

That would be the most logical thing I can think of.

But his IP was banned, so in order to come back he would need to change his IP. :?

Even cable internet IPs change occasionally. They probably just checked the hostname.

He came back from his grave to haunt us :shock:

Lazarus scares the hell outof me. I wouldn't even keep a puppet there.

Maybe the mods sometimes ressurect nations just to modbomb them again.....as a stress reliever. Take that! And that!...........ahh much better Beats the hell outa of taking it out on the rest of us poor sods :wink:

I've moved a puppet there.[/off topic]

i think Myrth was correct.

My (limited) understanding of the system is that whenever a dead nation is examined in the Mod Center, that nations is resurrected and moved to Lazarus for the duration of the examination. After the Game Mod is done looking, the dead nation dies again.

I've yet to see someone use that short timeperiod to log into their nation and run off with it, so the movement quoted here is probably just the normal automatic move to Lazarus done by the system.

I'll grant double bonus points to any 'dead' nation capable of becoming delegate anywhere during that timeperiod as well. ;)

BallotoniaWell, the mods could just kill you again.

But you could cause some major spamming in the meantime :twisted:

(this is a joke, I do not advocate the use of spam)

myrth may be correct, but i think its a bit more entertaining to think that the ghost of marathon is up and out to haunt us and appear in our jelly jars and mirrors....
ooohhoo!

:D

I love Lazarus.

I make a point to always keep Zab in there, and currently I have three others(resurrected).

Lazarus is a blast. It's a nice quiet place. Except when people spam it with ads.

Anyway, my personal theory is that some dastardly mod is using Marathon to pad their numbers for when the next report card comes out :P

Gotta luv dem addz.

'Course a bitta chat 'ere an' 'ere gets that recruitiment sadly, officially nonspam off in no time.

I resurrected Marathon to take a look at the nation due to some requests from a Forum Mod who had believed that Marathon might have found another way in.

Rest assured, Marathon has not found his way in. Nor will he ever.

Good to hear.

And may God have mercy on his soul if he does manage it for even five minutes, cause if he does I for one won't hesitate for a moment to note that he could only have hacked in, and thereby is subject to prosecution.

its so funny its not funny. A week ago or so i had my deleted nations that had been deleted months ago ressurected, then it went to lazarus then it died and i said to myself wtf and continued watching porn
What were your old nations?

Dear Lord people, can we PLEASE not start the "Marathon should/should not have been deleted" debate? That dead horse has been beaten so many times we are actually on the thrid horse.

Yeah, but the original one was purged. ;)

Like I've said before, I'll immediately start a thread in the NationStates forum entitled "Nuclear-tipped ICBMs Fired At Marathon".
