Greetings, all. This is a thread for creating persistent posts related to my new, as yet untitled, project. It has been quite a while since I've used CFC, and for the most part, the this NES will functionally be off-forum (mostly in the NESer Discord and Google Docs). But the forum is useful...

Yes, it's that time of year again -- the one where doomsayers declare that we are DOOMED. In order to refute the doomsaying, we are going to go ahead and pull a doomsday book. In an effort to make this more objective, instead of asking whether you are an NESer (which somehow manages to attract...

This thread is for completed maps, and also for all other cartographic discussion. Requests, tests, examples, ideas, and discussion is appropriate here. I will maintain this thread by editing the few opening posts to contain all completed material to date -- with the caveat that I'll do it...

In the spirit of flyingchicken's short-lived game, I'm DMing a campaign of DnD over IRC. This will serve as an ongoing log and discussion thread. If you're not in the game, well, watch as the adventure of these intrepid young men (and maybe women) unfolds, and if you want you can try to sub for...

Hi all, I have been looking for some good poetry to set a song (choral) to, but I am practically illiterate when it comes to non-prose works. I was wondering, therefore, if the good denizens of Off-Topic could come up with some good suggestions. Criteria (and I'm not going to argue these...

And I'm still not. However, this means I occasionally miss some interesting things. The other day a friend of mine IMed me to check out Susan Boyle, from Britain's Got Talent. I assumed it was another one of those 14-year old prodigies that they're always telling you about, and brushed him off...

Have a good one! :)

This map is based on Five Thirty Eight's estimate on which states gain and lose seats in the electoral college after the 2010 census. Well, strictly speaking, it's not exactly what he said. Oregon is even money to gain a seat, Washington slightly less so; if they were to each gain one, they'd...

1360, Anno Domini My Dearest Cuilinn, If my sources are right, the Chinese have crossed the southern border in force. Tens of thousands of them, all told, the entirety of the border region’s swords focused on a single purpose: the overthrow of the Scholars’ Empire. The garrison at...

Nineteen? Have a good one. :bday:

This is a thread for out of character conversations about any NES, NESing in general, or any related topic -- mostly we just want to keep the regular NES threads easy to navigate through and free of spam. The standard forum rules apply, especially the ones against spam. I took the liberty of...

Operations of End of Empires on forums.civfanatics.com have been suspended indefinitely. See post 5476 for more details. End of Empires New Players Welcome! Welcome to the End of Empires. If you are completely new to NESing, then I’d like to give you a warm welcome, and am flattered...

Using polls cited on Wikipedia, I figured out the general election electoral vote for the two candidates. Keep in mind that this is an extremely early set of polls, so they should only give a rough idea of who has more catchup work to do. I also don't know the sample size for any of the...

Some of you may recall that Michigan officially moved its primary date to January 15th, in direct violation of DNC rules, in order to have a better influence in the national party system. Well, that appears to have backfired. Democrats withdraw from Michigan 'beauty contest' The scoop...

PureNES: Years of Excelsior Eons before the age of men, the world had come to life. Streams of flame rolled over night hills, a quilt of light across the land. The smoke of earth frowned upon rocky plain, and all was the uttermost dark. The moon shone down, but no rock saw its light–silver...

Do PMs take up significantly more server space if they are longer? Or is it mostly the existence of the PM that takes up the space, rather than the length? If it was the former, wouldn't it make more sense to have longer PMs take up more space in the PM box, and shorter ones less space? As in...

A Short Introduction We will not lie: if you are illiterate, or if you detest a fun romp in a world that you can mold to your preferences, then you probably won’t like this. However, if you enjoy the drama and fury of an NES with deep background, genuine thought in updating, and a sweeping...

And do what I've often done before: I will take a round three months or so off of NESing entirely. This is not good for my health; I am up to my neck in homework; I am having so many extracurriculars that the leaders are beginning to get mad at me whenever I have to prioritize one over another...

Can we have some way to specify "parts" of multiple choice polls, so that members can only choose one option in a certain group of options, and then another option in another group of options? The main reason I ask this is because I am sick unto death of people who think they are oh-so-hilarious...

N3S II: The Eagle Awakens This is a preview thread. Welcome to the second NES in the second series of North King’s NESes. If you know anything about North King’s NESes, he has a tendency to end them prematurely. Alas. But in any case, my workload has somewhat decreased, and I’m thinking of...
