i played it many years ago and forgot about the game, started playing again a couple of days ago. they seem to have added a lot more depth and options of ways to play in the last 10 years or so.

do any of you guys play this currently?

thats how i was tbh. i saw someone mention it passively either on gamefaqs or reddit and decided to try it again. i always thought the premise was cool and there is stuff to do whether someone wants to play it in depth or just passively

I used to play it ages ago, then stopped, then started up again for a while a few years ago but got bored of it after a while. Might have picked it up again in between once or twice. It's fun for a while but eventually I run out of fun ways to be a nonsensically insane tyrant and then it loses me.

yeah, i played it for a long while and had a large nation built but eventually stopped playing. apparently your nation disappears after so long of not logging in but can be resurrected, i just don't remember the email or password of mine so i started a new one.

it is very cool how you start with a baseline and can change and adapt it through issues and the world assembly is really cool too imo

i think tenkostar is the only surviving member of the community we had from b8 in the past. i don't seem to be able to @ him on here but it would be cool to resurrect a 15+ year old community with b8'ers imo

cool, i see you joined the region. it has been so long that i don't remember much about the regional political structures or world assembly or anything but if you have any ideas i am down for whatever.

not sure how active tenko is but he probably knows much more about how the game works now than i do

also it appears i can appoint regional offices of vice delegate/security officer/communications officer/research officer if anyone wants any of those positions. honestly idk what they even entail right now but i am trying to re-educate myself on the game

i have no idea how to even "progress" in nationstates other than play regularly and try to drift your country away from any evident statistical problems, like abnormally high suicide rate

yeah, i think the issues directly impact your direction as a nation although some seem more important than others. you can enable multiple issues a day or just one.

i think a lot of the gameplay is through regional politics and the world assembly, although i am still reading up on more specific explanations of how both work

a lot of it probably comes down to what is discord politics these days, but funneling our endorsements into one person might accomplish... something, maybe

I played regularly until a couple of years ago, just got completely sick of it. I think from memory my nation was given an Epic level collector card, which was the second highest level as I had a lot of worldwide top 1% ranks. (I assume these cards still exist - it was originally an April Fool's event that was really popular so they kept them). Fun enough site, but gets repetitive.

If anyone is serious about knowing the effect on your nation before answering issues, you can check what will happen on the below list which I still had in my favorites for some reason - it does ruin the surprise of things though. I assume it is still being updated, didn't check.

Not planning on joining again, but I do recommend checking it out.

Hi.

you are the mvp for keeping the b8 region active for all these years. i am guessing you have a lot more knowledge about the game than us that haven't played in eons. it should appoint you as the world assemble delegate when the site updates, are you familiar with that aspect of the game?

haha hopefully so. i am fascinated with how the site kept my nation intact with decisions i made 14 years ago but it is cool i was able to resurrect it

To answer a few of your queries:

Te WA delegate is the person in the region who is endorsed by the most other WA member nations in a region. That person gets to put the regional vote in for WA issues. Don't worry about any of it. The WA voting is completely controlled by about 10 regions, the B8 region will control around 0.01% of the total vote. All it does is basically give someone an icon next to their name.

The regional controls stuff mentioned allows you to give abilities to various people in the region to kick people out, change the region password etc. Pretty useless.

Issues still remains the main way to shape your nation, over time. There's not a lot else to do really.

I literally just check the game twice a day to do my issues and that's it. But I just checked it out and if you click on Officers and then the question mark, it breaks it all down.

i was one of the last to hang around nationstates b8 region after the last time it was brought up, with my two regions being... Apocoreveria and Hypocretia if I remember right. At the time it was active I think apocoreveria had the worst economy out of all of them lmao

i don't recommend joining the world assembly or whatever, there are some perks but you also get affected by decisions made in votes there which unruined my economy (greatest tragedy)

I wanna try out the cards against humanity clone in it if people are using it again!
