My oldest son introduced me to NS. I enjoy the style and ease of this game. Card collecting is a great feature IMO...I appreciate that type of thing.

Yeah, tbh card collecting is hard b/c you have to sign in every so often and answer the issues. I think it would be fine though

honestly the taste of raw celery doesn't get me as much as the texture. it's just unpleasantly stringy :(

I dislike licorice seeds, but the flavor itself doesn't bother me. It's not as intense as my hatred for ketchup, at least

Basil..and Oregano....the classic styles. I am not a huge fan of either of them. Other than that I am an herb nut. I have so many varieties and grow my own. Other less-known varieties of basil and oregano, that I grow myself, are more tolerable to me.

I have been active in the game off and on over the time I have been playing it. I enjoy answering the questions and seeing what silly outcomes it brings. My nation has been everything from a socialist democracy to an anarchist state, etc. I am now a psychotic dictatorship haha Crazy. But I do enjoy the cards and going thru them! I hope that one is made for my nation soon.

So true there's just something vaguely gross about ketchup. like i can eat it if there's no ranch for my fries but there's a 65% chance i'll randomly find it utterly intolerable halfway through

I had a dream once where I got arrested for not stopping for a stop sign and they were going to sentence me to like 10 years in prison but I avoided the sentence because I knew where a body was buried in a farmer's field that solved an old murder case. I don't know if that's "fun" but its certainly interesting :P

Waffles, then pancakes, but I'd want clarification on what you consider "french toast" to be, because it means different things in different places and I attach the name to a savoury dish myself.

i swear i'm not harvesting information for social engineering attempts, honest~

I can't remember why I chose "Cretanja".

I do know that this particular puppet of "New Cretanja" was created back when I held my own UCR and the new government of "New Cretanja" was established. As for my online handle; after joining the rest of the on-site community after the great Black Hawk Raid of Cretanja Queendom, I tried to forge my new name as "Kraven", which was my penpal name ( snail mail ). That didn't stick though, and now, most everyone calls me Cret. I'm glad for it too, as Cret is much more unique. I guess I also have come attached to it, as well. I am Cret.

Bloody Good Riot wrote:Question of the day:

(this is not "why did you join ns")

Hard question to answer. I guess I started playing all those years ago because it was an outlet for me to bring my government-like fantasies to life. I stay now, for all the new friends I have made this past year. There are so many people on this site - so many good people - that thankfully I now call friends. Regardless if they're online or if I'll never see their faces; I've heard their voices, gotten to know who they are and their lives, and they mine. I do appreciate government-esque things about it [the site] still, and the occasion political banter/scene - but truly, I stay for the friends.

My answer is the same as Iota's. Celery is such a disgusting vegetable. It taste like wet dirt. I hate it with such a passion. Like, I want to like it. But I simply can not. I've tried so many times to try and make myself tolerate it's awful taste - it isn't possible. CURSE CELERY!

Devious wrote:question of the day:

I've had a reoccurring dream since as long as I can remember - I'm walking up an inclined dirt part and the hill is shaped like a cylinder pyramid... no matter how much I walk, I can't get up the hill. Then, like always, these huge flowers with faces on them appear on the edge of the road near the cliff part and start singing and swaying back and fourth... and each time in the dream, I know that there's a dragon ( a Chinese dragon ) is chasing me up the path... but I never get away from it, because no matter how hard I run, I never get to the top. But, it's not scary, it's like myself and the dragon are playing tag. It's weird... but true. lol.

Celery is in the same category as iceberg lettuce for me. It is minimal flavor but adds needed texture to things. Like Peanut Butter slathered on top, or to add some crunch to a mushy stew.

I'm actually with New Astri on this one, there's a very specific recipe for choc chip cookies with perhaps a smidge too much baking soda. You need to be eating them in a tiny pentecostal church while someone is pretending to speak in tongues at the other end of the hall, though.

Little square pizzas, like the kind they used to serve in early 2000s at public American schools. They were honestly the most trash pizzas, but simultaneously the best...?! Those are super nostalgic for me even though the store bought ones, don't quite taste like the ones they used to serve in school.
