GuideNES: The First Step for Lurkers and Newbies!

[Terrance888]

Sorry for my non-comittment of order: pass deadline, no want dead, no want spam box of joe. I'll just quit this for now. (for ever?)

 

[LittleBoots]

Nao!

Oh. Good. Lord.

 

[das]

Flyingchicken, what have you done? In your greed for an update you have doomed us all (I mean, what will happen if the new players pick it up?)!

 

[flyingchicken]

Abaddon and JosefStalinator have brought this upon themselves (see the rest of thread). I'm only following through with what heresies they teach.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

NAO's here? Damn!

*signals call to arms*

 

[Abaddon]

MOAR!



Seriously Joesf.. If you cannot grab this, I will write the update on monday/tueday if you forward me the orders..

 

[JosefStalinator]

I was hoping on getting through it tonight actually, but if I can't abaddy, I'll forward to you.

I submit myself to punishment by seppuku for what I've done to this NES!

 

[Fetus4188]

No, no seppuku, we want an update, your honor be damned!

 

[~Darkening~]

..... From the horrors of the old, to the atrocities of the new- the unholy torch has thus been passed. Weep, you fools, weep for the horror of NAO has descended upon you all.....

 

[flyingchicken]

I dun get the thing behind nao.

 

[LittleBoots]

I dun get the thing behind nao.

It is an ancient evil... we do not speak of it.

 

[Stuck in Pi]

since nobody else has, Germanicus I claim as advisor.

 

[Tasslehoff]

Huh? So what's happening nao?

Spoiler :

 

[Chandrasekhar]

I'm just lurking right nao, but I find this whole situation amusing.

 

[Abaddon]

I cry and am embarassed

 

[germanicus12]

since nobody else has, Germanicus I claim as advisor.

And I shall accept, what nation do you play as and where is it?

Granted I could find out by looking at the first page, but I figured this would be a better way to find the truth behind these decieving lies that the Mod sometimes post by not updating the list....

 

[Stuck in Pi]

I play as Russia (listed as Kiev), located at Moscow.

 

[flyingchicken]

Lurkerism: "Russia" is an anachronistic concept. The Rus are, as far as I can tell, barely numerous and the various small groups of people (including the non-state nomads) around that area have yet to develop enough to create such a thing. Have yourself conquered by someone more advanced than you, breed your ethnicity under their rule, and rebel--that way, you get the political and possibly physical infrastructure to establish "Russia."

 

[das]

"Kiev" in Moscow is really no better, though I can come up with a plausible etymology.

On a sidenote, did anyone else here know that in the late Middle Ages, the area of modern Muscovy was called Ukraina Zalesskaya, which may be translated as "the Transylvanian Ukraine" (okay, actually "the Transylvanian Frontier", which is pretty awesome too because of the mental image it creates)? Funny coincidence, IMHO.
