I'm new to NationStates. It's a little confusing...

So, I'm new to this iteration of Nationstates, I was around /years/ ago, but never really got into it past managing my little nation and seeing how it grew. Anyone have some pointers for me in terms of how to navigate this brave new world?

Hmmmm poll ideas?

I like that poll idea but something is busted with poll creation, if I click "add another option" it just goes to my nation page... So right now I can only make a poll with two options, or we can wait for it to be fixed! :P
Alekseandrea
That's easy then . . .
New Poll:
* Do you do you computing on: *
A device of your choosing.
Choice is an illusion and you are being mind-controlled by an evil, manipulative, alien overlord named [nation=short]Salaxalans[/nation]

See, easy!
Two options only.

So you did see "The matrix reloaded".
I'm getting mixed signals here.
First you make a lame joke, then you go all "determinism, determinism, determinism".
This amount of doublethink might turn you into a shambling wreck before you know it.
It's dangerous.
Look what happened to JZJ.
He used to be JJ.

Are we still stuck with only 2 choice's for the poll? Or did that fix itself? o.O

Should Parrona refit the blorg concentration camps to make way for walruses?
Yes
Yes and I want a potato with it!

This election is fair!

Matrixulated, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud, The Parron Republic, The Dark Lorde
Nice, but we will still need enough blorgs to, oh wait, the Culverians... *kidnaps Culverians to feed the walruses*
In this new situation, the Blorgs have been granted full citizenship and reparations will be made (and finally the Americans will stop petitioning for once) to the families of the victims.
Matrixulated, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud, Blazedtopia
Okay I decided to go with a meta poll. I'm really annoyed at this. :P
Matrixulated, Alekseandrea, Mrglglglgland, The Parron Republic
It makes sense from a psychological and storage standpoint; as the number of options goes up, satisfaction with the result goes down. It also uses much less data-room - storing 5 to 7 options in the database uses up to 3.5 times as much data as storing 2 options.
Then again, more options allows more wacky quacky.
The Salaxalans, Matrixulated, Alekseandrea, The Parron Republic, The Hooligans
I can't maths. Therefore potato.
The Salaxalans, Matrixulated, Alekseandrea, The Parron Republic, Blazedtopia
[spoiler= A small amount of literary criticism on the "meta poll"]
Salaxalans has a history of obfuscation and misdirection, to weed out the unworthy and show his message to those who can see the Truth.
Seeing the average Spiritian, it is little wonder that the more subtle meanings elude them,
thus, I decided, magnanimously, to enlighten them in the meaning behind Salaxalan's poll.
This poll asks the question: "How does everyone feel about polls not allowing more than two options currently?"
First, we must determine what Salaxalans believes "everyone" to encompass.
Naturally, we would assume that he assumes "all humans", which would mean that Salaxalans is a free spirit who spits on political correctness and is, horribly speciesist. This of course is a fair portrayal for it's time, because he clearly doesn't imply the non-humans are inferior, which, we all know, they clearly are.
If seen in the context, we can assume that he means "all intelligent members of Spiritus, showing his good judgement and respect for the ancient and wise monicker "One man, one vote.", yet we see that other nations than Alekseandrea are allowed to vote, which is clearly shows this isn't the used definition.
Thus we conclude that Salaxalan's "everyone" is "everyone in Spiritus". Implying that there is no world outside Spiritus. This must be born from his deep seated resentment for the outside world. Why else would he deny the thruth? Why does he hate them? Well, Salaxalans, in all his actions, seems to seek control. He must hate the "outside" because it can't be controlled. Thus making Salaxalans a tragic hero fighting for order in an inherently chaotic world. His insistence on fighting, shows his unrelenting spirit, he is doomed to fail, after all. Truly a man we should admire.
This loss of control is further signified by his negative reaction at a loss of freedom. Does he accept this? No! He grumbles and complains about it, silently blaming outside forces like "those polling mechanisms ". This irrational anger, shows his self-destructive tendencies, showing the struggle of this tragic character. It are not his enemies, but he himself who shall instigate his own downfall.
His choice in responses only serve to underline his tragic battle against chaos, there truly is no choice. One can choose to give in to hatred or insanity. This shows his inability to cope with chaos. He would rather give in to his self-destructive tendencies and become isane than tolerate the hurdles on his path. Here we see the theme of the downfall return, showing us that Salaxalans is truly and utterly incapable of averting his worst enemy, himself.
[/spoiler]
I would disagree, storage is cheap and satisfaction declines with less "choices", here representing the illusion of freedom Salaxalans desperately needs to remain functioning. Clearly this is "a contrived coincidence" that brings conflict in the writer's life, which he is unable to cope with, slowly losing his sanity, setting up the narrative so his dramatic fall can occur.
The Salaxalans, Matrixulated, The Botched Pejazzle Of The Studly Spud, Mrglglglgland, The Parron Republic
Blue Pill to stay oblivious.
Red Pill to know oblivion.
Being aware of the choice is torturous.
Making the choice creates conflict.
The problem is choice.
Yes, I saw all three movies.
I also watched 'The Animatrix' DVD.
I read 'The Matrix Comics' Volume One and Volume Two.
I played the PC game 'Enter The Matrix' with all the cut-scenes and 'canonical content'.
I played 'The Matrix Online' MMORPG from nascent Beta-testing in July 2004, all the way through to the very last minute when they shut down the server at 00:00hrs, August 1st, 2009.
I also played the woeful, 'The Path of Neo' on the X-Box.
Since 1999 when I saw the first 'The Matrix' movie I have voraciously read short stories, books, novels, religious works, and absorbed hundreds of websites, fan-fictions, theories, philosophies, dissertations, and papers and spent thousands of hours worth of debate and discussions on Ventrilo, Skype, TeamSpeak, Discord, XFire and Mumble servers with hundreds of people from all over the world about the 'Matrix-verse.'

Did someone say, mixed signals?
There's alot of mixed signals in Parrona, Horsea and Eakira.
[spoiler= Here's one of the said signals! ]
Eakira, with its failure to ensure the victory of the Republic of Parrona, has taken a more direct approach, the President of the federation has activated War Plan Mayhem, denouncing the constituent nations of Greater Parronia as terrorists groups before launching an unjustified invasion of Last Stand, a planet in one of the westernmost systems of the country, meanwhile in Horsea, the usually decent parliament has seen its first fight ever, torn between its old enemy and a former client state, it is unlikely Horsea will ever join the war, after the commercial break, we have news from the UNE, tensions rise between the great powers of Earth...
[/spoiler]
So we have hypocrites, indecisive pacifists and more...wheeeeee!
I'm definitely off my meds.

Such a loveable nutjob, our Parron.
And I have a peanut allergy too!
So, here we are on the eve of Nuclear Armageddon, and I've driven out to my cabin far from any large, populated areas.
I am sitting here in my antique & highly collectible, #moonsParrona PJ's, and I'm making some 'Prepper' edition S'Mores by my survivalist campfire.
I am deeply gratified knowing that at least Parron wasn't SO nutty to resort to begging [nation=short]Salaxalans[/nation] for favors at the end.
I mean, who would do such a thing?

Truce takes effect, but not before...
[spoiler= Yielding of Parron ]
Parron, homeworld of the country's founding species and its capital, has fallen to advancing syndicalist forces.
Bypassing Pegon, they marched towards the capital which was declared open by Loyalist forces moments before their last units retreated. Several columns of Militias marched towards the Relmskrieger and recreated the razing of the royal palace of Parron while Parronans looked on in stunned silence.
Sporadic fighting can still be heard from some districts, but a strange calm appears to have settled over the rest of the mostly intact planet.
