When I was a tiny nation I was seriously afraid Vandoosa could eat me, or something.

Now I'm just a bit worried that one or two of the regions Eadrias and/or The Valley of The Wind would burst and release their squeaky nations to the NationsStates world all at once.

Hey, hello, what's up in your regions?

Edit:

haha, we have a welcome telegram. I didn't know that. Thanks Unindicted coconspirator

I live only to serve, Oh Mighty Founder!

I run 101-200 nations but I bet you I can name them ALL

But a lot of them are CTE’d

Are they all very lardy? Which is your oldest alive nation?

They are both jump points. Eadrias is a much better one though.. might can rent it out to raiders..

How can one jump point be better than another?

((Edited away a question))

Eadrias updates a minute or so after The Valley of the Wind. could help get one or two more tag raids in.

_{Not that I understand how that exactly helps the raids, but ...}
Ah, I see, update times!.. I never understood how they are determined. Do the newer regions update first? I suppose it is more complex or unknown?

Talking of raiding: one of our first embassy regions A1 storage was abandoned by its founder Vasalos and then snapped by some fascist raiders. But why? And, how much do you care Vasalos?

At least two further embassy regions also disappear already. That was fast.

A made a very random collection of statements that I recently witnessed and find remarkable for one or the other reason, loosely related to the theme of our region.

This will probably not help much to understand why we spend so much time with NationStates .. but it is partially about defining what this game and its nations, regions, embassies represent for us.

raider specific stuff and update time

Thanks but this part I understand, while I don't understand why the update time of the jump point matters. But don't bother to explain. And my real question would be:

Why so? What are the basic determinants for a region updating earlier or later than another one?

No idea.. some regions are just lucky I guess!

Question: How does one create a Jump Region?

Answer: You mean like a jump region in the R/D sense? Found 200 and use the latest updating one.

I just sit and wait to refound one already seen as a late updater.. Like with Eadrias.. *-yoink-*

That's the default setting, which a friendly telegram reminding me that I'd forgotten to switch it to allow posting would have solved.

Issue solved. So I welcome you here instead! Thanks for the embassy.

I meant it in a funny way in my previous post: who wants to exchange anything with 'A Glot of Noisome Nations', referring to the name of your region only. It wasn't very funny, I guess. Sorry.

I saw your region and others emerging from The Rejected Realms . What was the sister region again? The United Confederacy of Allied Alliances? It was a good laugh that day.

PS: Actually I didn't think you will keep all the regions for long(?)

Ah, so the update time doesn't change with a refound, I didn't expect that.

And actually, no, most of them don’t have anything to do with lard...
More to do with cancerous memes

I see. A solid theme. Luckily I hardly know any meme. :P
I only learned on NationStates what meme is. (Ya, I know.. I was raised in a swamp with very slow internet connection...)

The update time matters, because a ns can only update once per update period (which occurs twice a day). If you updated already during the update period, and you go to another region that updates later, you won't be counted while that region updates.

It's like... if you have a birthday and gained a year at 2pm PST in california, and then rode a rocket to new york by 149pm EST, you don't gain another year at 2pm EST. If you could do that, then you could technically be hundreds or even thousands of years old after a while, riding around in a rocket all over earth, chasing after your birthday every year in each timezone and gaining decades each birthday.

Ah, I think I understand now. That's why it is better when the jump point updates late. So that your nation(!) doesn't get updated already.

Thanks for dropping by and explaining!

hahaha,Molch I was thinking of asking the same poll
I currently have 6 Brille my primary Bry12 and Yogiee both refounded Arkyparky Browni and Vida de paz the newest haha

Most of them are named after my dogs 😁

And you like the colors orange and yellow, that's for sure
: )

Careful now that your number of nations doesn't explode!

It was too funny a name, so I thought I'd hang onto it for a while.

The others were funny as well, but I'll let someone else refound them, have their fun.

The poll is drawing to a close. Those in the largest group have between four and ten nations, which sounds eminently sensible. It is a fun to see how many nations a few people have. Why not!

If I ever worry about wasting my time on NationStates, this region has helped me realise that I also quite enjoy it. I was pleased as punch to find that my nation in Philosophy 115 is the second longest serving there after Dr George.

Where I am founder, there is pressure to entertain. Why is the message board so quiet? Think of a poll. Find a joke. Other people's regions are more relaxing.

Some regions have size requirements and insist on a minimum number of WA members. Two of my regions have chosen only to exchange embassies with close friends. In another we swapped embassies with anybody who asked. The decision is always democratic - a way of getting people involved.

By the way, I noticed that your hello visit to the Rogue CONclave was incorporated into their role play thread. You may want to briefly return and extricate yourself from some difficulty.

Aahrrg, thanks, but I'm very busy currently. Is it a space shuttle? Just install a nice bath tube in the back with a lot of bubbly foam and a cute rubber duck, and I'm in, silently dabbling in the back (for now).
