How do I find the link to my nation? It's called Lauritius, if that helps you find it.

 

Too late, I saw money so I spent it, that's just the kind of leader that I am.

 

The URL on the nation page; mine is http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=529019

Found you...PM sent in-game.

 

Ah okay then, here I am: http://www.cybernations.net/nation_drill_display.asp?Nation_ID=546784

The only message I have is from admin.

 

No worries, $2m ain't much in the grand scheme. The only downside is that, by going into peace mode, we won't be able to get you attacking random unaligned nations for a few days.

 

I just got an abusive message from, I assume, Mikey. Can I declare war on him or is that ill advised?

 

Rat bastard that he is, Mikey decided to start in peace mode, which means that no one can declare on him.

However, we'll probably get you raiding people pretty quickly. Raiding is the rather dickish practice of attacking worse-off nations that aren't a part of an alliance, stealing their money and technology simply because you can. It's also a good intro to what passes for a war system.

 

Rumour has it that the real gauge for that is an old duffer *cough*godders*cough* who sits in the Kingsland

 

I must learn to read slower ...I read that Elaine Page has come out, but re read it again and it's Ellen page that has come out..( whoever she is).

 

Just paid £450 for the last round of repairs. Another 3 went last night...would give up for a while, but one loose panel is pulling at the new section. Have to call the man out Monday. However, there has been a lot of flooding and damage on the Island, so I think I got off lightly. The sea flooded Cowes so no access to ferries (which had stopped anyway).

 

Aww, there go my chances with Ellen.

 

Seems like there might be some mild flooding down here in Brighton at the Sea Life Centre. Well, I guess if you're going to flood anywhere.....

 

Is that name after a certain female tennis player perchance?

 

My capital is Robsongrad, so what do you think?

 

So what team is everyone on?

 

So I guess I'm joining this game then.

Edit: what team am I supposed to be choosing?

 

Can't think of a country name, having a creative block.

 

Heh, purple team (though it doesn't matter terribly much), start in war mode, start in Defcon 5/Low threat. Once you've done that, go to the left hand side to 'edit my nation', select that, and where it says 'Alliance Affiliation', go to specify other and put in Sengoku.

Edit: also go with democracy, monarchy or capitalism for government. And while it's hardly required, I'd recommend setting your currency to Dongs, because who doesn't want to pay for things with Dongs.

 

Ruler: Joe Chi Bing
Nation Name: Hermesia
Capital: Tetovo (real place, couldn't think of anything funny)
Government type: Communist (against the advice of Schad, which I hadn't read until it was too late)
Currency: Dinar
Religion: None
Slogan: "Peace, bread and land. Mostly land."
