This kinda sucks - I thought there were 100's of issues that the game would go through, maybe even more.

I've only been playing 3 weeks, and my governemt kicks ass... almost 1st or 2nd every day, and I dipped under the top 10,000 I think once... but I'm getting the SAME issues I've already voted on! How am I supposed to vote, the same way again?

Why can't I get new issues... this is rediculous I've had at least 4-5 of the same ones already... I have 4 outstanding issues and I'm not sure what to do with the ones I've gone through already.

There are only about 80 issues. up until about a week ago, you were applicable for less than 30 of them.

Even now you are still not applicable for them all, and as some of them are once-per nation issues, or once-per nation if you chose certain options then the pool is narrowed even further.

On top of that, some of them seem to be more common than others.

As for the ones that you have gone through already.

1. If you like the effect of the first option the chose it again.

2. If not chose another option.

3. If you do not like other options then dismiss it.

You could always submit more issues with the button under issues that says submit your own issue.

He can, but it will not really solve his problem.

They have plenty of issues. The fact that all but fur of the moderatorss have some sort of consientious objection to editing issues, and two of those esigned, gives us an editing bottleneck.

Well theres something that can put an end to game play. When the Gamemasters cant agree on anything.

Game masters deside the play dont they? Well if the Gamemasters cant agree then they cant deside the game play and the game is stalled.

The only part of NS that is supposed to be an RPG is the International Incidents and NationStates forums.

ANywhen, g'nite.

Well this sucks... I'm really enjoying Nation States, I would hate to have to stop because I get the same issue over and over again. This game is very inovative and easy to have fun with.

There are other thigns to do in NS then the issues. First off, there's the forum (which you've obviously found) which, although tempermental, allows you to RP (which you might like since you played DnD), talk about the game, or just chat. Also, there are region politics, things like invading and defending regions. Finally, you could do UN politics, although this is fairly related to RPing (but just because you do one, doesn't mean you do the other).

Also, there aren't any GMs in NS, just moderators. They don't really enforce or decide on gameplay matters (except editing the issues) or make stories like they would in most RPGs (NS isn't really an RPG anyway), just make sure no one does anything they shouldn't. More like police. Look around in the stickies and in the FAQ for the rules.

You can always submit your own issues by following the link in your sidebar (click the 'issues' section).

We've been a bit stretched for issue editing recently, but it should pick up soon.

Cool, good to hear that we'll be getting new issues, Sirocco.

As for the lame: "Heres what u do, either stop whining sum1 has put in hard time into this and if u haven't send in a issue idea u cannot talk. or set it so u dont get so many issues klike one a week to help u get on top of stuff. K"

Learn English in that African/Asian Nationstate you live in, buddy. I don't consider it a 'whine' simply because I was repeating issues after a little less then three weeks, ok? Geez.
