Yeah, it's people like you that give that show the ratings it gets.

Let's all get our torches and pitchforks and chase Tony around for a while.

My NationState's government has just passed a ruling making nudity mandatory... The clothing companies are being liquidated and turned into condos.

And mandatory organ donorship. That's a damn good idea...

OMG dude that is soooo not cool. Not only are you putting all the employees of those clothing companies out of work, thereby flooding the job market with a group of people with little marketable skills... you're exposing the fat and the ugly. Ew!

On the plus side, though... the fat ones may become even more self-conscious, and gym memberships will double... stocks in exercise gear will skyrocket... and the members of your government and special "friends" who invest in those gyms will be able to afford those new condos. Nice how it all works out, no? :laugh:

The "fat and ugly ones" certainly weren't the citizens I had in mind by passing this law, but yes that's good thinking.

I wouldn't go quite that far. Of course, if Tony would now be so kind as to institute mandatory exercise regimens for the masses... but that would ruin that little financial scheme of his. Unless the mandatory exercise regimens instituted made it so the people had to join those gyms... so you're basically forcing the people to pay you even more. Uncle Sam just grabs you by the ankles and shakes you upside-down; Tony pops in a Richard Simmons video and raids people's lockers while they're doing their naked aeorbics. :laugh:

Done and... Done. Does anybody need some used sticks of deoderant? I have nearly a gross here.

lol now you're getting it. Sell the masses Tony's Deoderant and Antiperspirant, and specialized soap for the lockerroom showers. Shame the game doesn't let you go so incredibly in-depth; you'd be on top of your own economic hegemony in no time. And about those workers who lost their jobs at clothing factories... well, they can always join the military or police force to enforce the law, although I don't envy anyone who has to climb a fence naked while chasing a robber.

Well I've seen some of the game's participant take matters into their own hands and make maps of their regions, histories, etc. They've built a system of rules for warfare from scratch... I mean it's ridiculous, but really cool.

Chimaera182 · Post by **Chimaera182** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:36 pm

I doubt they have come up with anything like that yet, though. Besides, it's not like they can do anything but act it out; I mean, their warfare is role-played. That's just tacky.

Chimaera182 · Post by **Chimaera182** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 5:54 pm

I'm mildly curious how y'all came up with your country names. We can rule out Bloodstalker's, since he named his Lord DS just so he could say "The Oppressed Peoples of Lord DS" and stroke his ego. :laugh:

I wanted to use a name from Norse mythology, since I've had that stuff on my mind a lot lately, but the names I chose were of course taken. But I've been reading this scifi book--which also had some Norse mythology references--and one planet was called Qasama. Since it seemed rather unique, I tried it and it worked.

Complete accident. I didn't intend that to be final at all. I just ran through the steps saying more or less random stuff to get to the end and see what went on. Then it turned out it was not a demo and you couldn't delete and start again

Not very exciting or significant at all really

Breghte is a city in a fantasy world I created. And the Commonwealth of Breghte is part of the history of that city. It went on to become an empire, conquering the subcontinent it is on, but this empire after almost 2 millenia disintegrated into a number of small states.

Ey. The link is here. If you will also take a look at the population, you'll know that ik911 is on the frontier and beyond... again.

and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities.

Wow. Heaven. And yet, you're well nigh past 4 billion people. How easy is that parenting test you have set up? :laugh:

If they pass the test, their babies get cloned many times... If they can raise one, they can also raise twelve.
