While We Wait: Writer's Block & Other Lame Excuses

[Boundless]

Never been annoyed. Found them invaluable because most of the time i'd simply forgotten due to RL, not because I was bored of the NES.

A question: what do y'all think about reminder PMs for people who slack off in sending orders? From my experience modding a short-lasting beta of the future SKNES rulese in an SG elsewhere, I have found that this can be a major help to get in a high proportion of orders on time, but I can see why they would be annoying? So, what does everyone think about them?

When I mod, I try to keep a list in the thread showing who has sent orders and who hasn't. I would use a PM only if the nation was very important and time running out.

I find them helpful and motivating.

 

[Terrance888]

Great Question! In fact, I'm going to send off a round of these PMs as well. Especially since I usually update the afternoon of said deadline.

 

[SKILORD]

I compulsively send them off.

Sometimes they even help.

Anyone want to participate in shaping a world (geography included) in which an NES can play? Assign mountains, rivers, barbarians, cities, wonders of the world, point by point, with the roll of the die.

THIS world is yours, a preNES.​

​

Post in thread, and I will tell you how many points to have for turn 1 (10+1d6). The first turn will end Wednesday.

 

[SKILORD]

Haha! Third Update Posted!

Still alive.

The Time Has Come again for Census. I will eagerly ajudicate the various NESes, and will personally clean and save my PM box in preparation of the deluge of claims of misjudging.

To prevent that, I would love for moderators, especially in established NESes I'm not in, to PM me about the state of their NES.

 

[SouthernKing]

Oh yeah, just so everyone knows, I do have an AIM.com now: southern_king

 

[Tecknojock]

There's an app thread for that

 

[SouthernKing]

There's an app thread for that

Ah, did not see that. Thanks

CENSUS COMPLETED! Read and critique. My PM box is ready for the barrage of hate-messages. .

In other news. Stories and Tales Times is a adhoc newspaper which highlights good stories and techniques, as well as conducting interviews. Although I am not offering myself as an Editor (Lord knows how hard this project is ontop of my NES...), but I am putting it out there as a suggestion of something we can do.

If our community stays true to its roots, we will enthusiastically agree and get the first edition out a week early, the second a week late, and disband for the third.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

You give us too much credit Terrance.

Good one, Terrance.

 

[SouthernKing]

Help explain to the IOTers why NES is better

 

[Luckymoose]

NES= RP
IOT= Strategy

NES sucks. Admit it. You have no strategy.

That guy is on to us.

 

[Tycho]

Strategy, eh? Well then, I guess making military decisions and stuff similar to that in Fresh Start and other NESes of the sort doesn't matter.

 

[GamezRule]

On another note, did Abaddon get unpermabanned? His avatar and such is back.

 

[SouthernKing]

Alright, let us keep the IOT vs NES argument out of this thread.
And for those not in the know, Christos200 is a Greek ultranationalist who is hated by 95% of the community and has the great honor of being the single poster who has broken my tolerance limit for ultranationalism and gone on my ignore list. Not trying to troll/flame/whatever, just telling the truth as it is.

Abbadon has not been on since the 25th, we will have to wait and see. Considering what Boundless has said, both of them would be in Italy, so more waiting.

 

[GamezRule]

I think he hates me because I pummeled his cute little nationalist Greek state in your beta.
