Tracking the NS Bunny

just this morning I noticed that our region had a visit from the Unstoppable nation of NS Bunny. S/he was on our turf for a brief stint, then bounced off for new terrain. I thought it was odd that the bunny would visit for such a short period, so I decided to track the NS Bunny. I discovered that it had bounced off to two other nations since it last visited us... I thought this was hysterical, that there was a bunny hopping around from NS to NS.

Does anyone know anything about this NS Bunny? Is it part of the game or just a hoppy bunny in role play? Has anyone else been visited by the bunny?

Not the first time I've seen it happen. Moved through my region (Isles of Arden) too. Seems to move through every region alphabetically. That's all I know.

The NS Bunny is a player using a script to automatically travel round the world. There's also an NS Turtle and various others. I think they periodically meet up in the NS Zoo or something. Can't remember the name of the region...

according to my region's records (atlantic union), 21 hours ago from when i'm typing this, it came to my region from atlantic states and left soon after for atlantica.

mayhaps it's hopping alphabetically?

much like the nation of migratory flocks of geese, the nomadic tribe of the slow and steady surfing turtles, and star treak deep space 9 "go nowhere when any man has gone before" there are nations that spend all of their time and recources hopping from one reagion to another. they get a list of reagions that are not password protected and go there by alaphebit because that is how the reagin pages display the different non password protected reagion so far by clicking on the different links I have treaked the links to the different nations.

After that I had lost the trail of the elusive nationstates hopping bunny As I began to trail the entrepid adventures of the slow but steady nationstaes turtle that could be controled by the same user.

Someday I think I mjght become a nomad but that day is far from now. I am happy resideing in the nation of dictatorship, whithc is now password protectexd as of 6.78hr ago due to a invasion of DEN forces,

I admire your great effort of treaking the nationstates bunny I hope all goes well

Just checked, and my Region (Cislunar space) was hit.
1 day ago: The Nomadic Tribe of The NationStatesTurtle departed this region for CITADEL
1 day ago: The Nomadic Tribe of The NationStatesTurtle arrived from Circustia.
1 day ago: The UnSTOPable Nation of The NationStates Bunny departed this region for CITADEL
1 day ago: The UnSTOPable Nation of The NationStates Bunny arrived from Circustia.


The Turtle is currently in "Hooterville"
The Bunny is currently in "Uberasia 2"

I think that the Turtle is travelling at a rate to get thru the whole NS region list in a year and the Bunny in somewhere from 4-6 mos.

I had the bunny 15 hours ago in my region (Terran and Terrator). I think he's travelling faster than people estimate.

Maybe this is like the Tortoise and the Hare. The Bunny will get really close to finishing and then stop for a while, allowing the Turtle to catch up and eventually finish first. Maybe it's a race.

It's just a thought.

lol- it must be, because we were just hit by the turtle hours ago. I think I'm rooting for the turtle to win. I wonder if the program (that the race is running on) allows a couple of turtles to hide in various regions, just like the parable, then once that wascally wabbit enters, the turtle runs ahead. I think we all need to check our carrot inventory though, just in case. ;-)

You think they'd be offended if I made a nation with the motto "Kill da wabbit!" and had it chase them?

They start moving to every region at some point every year. And no, its not part of the game, just a nation with too much free time on their hands.

I've noticed one quirk to the roaming nations running down the alphabetical list. When they went through Farkistan, they went to Farmer Browns Farm, skipping Farktopia, which doesn't have a password. So, I pulled up the alphabetical list of regions, and followed the bunnies path. Bolded regions are the ones the bunny and turtle initially skipped.

Fantasia nations: 17 (has password)
Fantastic Four nations: 3
Fantastical Paradise nations: 2
Fantasy Football nations: 1
Fantasy Freak nations: 1 (has password)
FaP nations: 2
Far away nations: 2
Far Away Remote Island nations: 1 (has password)
Far Far Away nations: 3
Far Far Far Away nations: 3
Far Islands nations: 1 (has password)
Far North nations: 2
Farbini nations: 8
Fark nations: 7
Farkistan nations: 72
Farktopia nations: 38 (no password) (later visited by NS Bunny and Bikerz)
Farm Lands of Evil nations: 1 (no password)
Farmer Browns Farm nations: 1
Farrget Islands nations: 1
Fascilists nations: 1
Fascism nations: 1
Fascist America nations: 1
Fascist Amerika nations: 1
Fascist Europe nations: 1
Fascist_federation nations: 1
Fascist Italy nations: 2
Fascist Reich nations: 1
Fascist sector nations: 3
Fascist States of New America nations: 6
Fascist Union nations: 1

About 20 hours after the bunny and turtle skipped Farktopia, the bunny, now chased by Bikerz, wandered through Farktopia from Elysian Isles and then went to One big Island. Perhaps the bunny hops through x amount of regions, then skips one or two, only later to be chased through those regions by Bikerz.

Also, Farm Lands of Evil is only four or five days old, so maybe that is the reason it was skipped.

Also, I spent way too much time looking into this.

GO BUNNY!

Well they have arrived in the region of Texas and the Bunny has changed his motto from "I wont stop til I find it" to "I have found it" or something like that.

Seems Texas is the holy grail or has the holy grail (Maybe some really hot lady bunnies) or something, maybe worth checking out.

the NS Bunny is a nation from a moderator. it uses a script to travel through whole NS in alfabetical order.

i remember that the Bunny was the first to make such a trip, almost two years ago. a few months later followed by the NS Modling and the NS Weasel.

Im pretty sure its not a Mod nation, but its a fantastic idea, I wish I thought of it.

The list is contained in world, click on that and much like the nations list in you region you just click through them, there must be hundreds of pages though.

Three cheers for the Bunny and Bikerz.

He/she is currently residing in the region of Texas, and appears to be resting.

From my region, Viking Europe

# 20 hours ago: The UnSTOPable holy moley of The NationStates Bunny departed this region for Viking lands
# 20 hours ago: The Texas Chopperz of Bikerz departed this region for Viking lands
# 20 hours ago: The UnSTOPable holy moley of The NationStates Bunny arrived from Vijverbeek.
# 20 hours ago: The Texas Chopperz of Bikerz arrived from Vijverbeek.

I think Bikerz was winning at the time.
