Welcome!
[quote=penguania_and_antarctica;22159305]Welcome in our lovely community. I'm Peng. Nice to meet you. Make yourself at home
Thank you peng, I feel so welcome already :)
Penguania And Antarctica
Thanks
Penguania And Antarctica, Freewire
Thank you so much :)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Freewire, Yukona
Oh, welcome, Paragpt. Sorry, we're rather busy cancelling the Apocalypse.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Thanks bro
Penguania And Antarctica
Page eight of what?
Nations ranked by Population.
The cure missiles are striking Page 5, at the moment.
And that's it. Next update should show that we are clear of Zombies.
Just finished curing the last nation on the list. We'll see at update if there's any left.
Ludania, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
All hail [nation=short]Killdash[/nation] !! Our lord and saviour !! Hallowed by thy name !!
Jaslandia, New Estaris
If we do clear, we'll be in 4th place worldwide for Most Survivors+No Infected.
Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris, Yukona
Swiggity
We still have 17 million infected
We should allow small amounts of nations to enter and clean them
The system hasn't updated. It updates in about 30 minutes. Then we'll know.
It read 17 million, but since then, I've cleared a page and a half. The last page and a half.
Ok thanks for the explaination
Killdash
I agree. I just want to make sure we're 100% clean, and then get approval, and then I'll post on the Zday forums.
But founder will have to be on, because horde nations WILL come.
Jaslandia
thank you for not killing socialist zombies
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
also holy hell guys good job
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
We did it!!! It's official!
Guys, I wanna thank everyone who contributed time towards stopping the invasion. Some people were on for literally hours launching missiles. We are officially in the top 10 for Most Survivors+No Infected. This is amazing work for a region of our size.
The coordination between us was all excellent, camaraderie was cheerful, and no one tried to betray the region. Enjoy your victory, chaps. You've all earned it.
Veni Vedi Vici!!!! Long Live the CFN!!
Ludania, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Yo.
How are you?
I design warships for people, and spend time just being a friend on the Discord.
The only question we face now is: Do we open the borders, and help cure outsiders?
This will need the founders permission, and also that someone stays on the account to banject, just in case.
Penguania And Antarctica
That's fantastic news!! I'm so glad haha
Penguania And Antarctica
Same. You were a great help. I wasn't on all night, but towards the end here, you and I took down quite a few nations.
Ludania, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Good job everyone (not me) !
I'm sure we can increase the number of survivers if we get [nation=short]Aldaur[/nation], [nation=short]Vista Major[/nation], and [nation=short]Crato[/nation] back on board.
Jaslandia, Yukona
Nonsense Peng, you did a lot.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Does someone want to TG them that it's safe? I would, but I'm at dinner at present.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
I can
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica
Wow guys.....no zombies left.....we did it!
I've never seen this happen b4 with me present....
Jaslandia, Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris, Yukona
Nice work everyone. And thanks to those who cleared me while I was away.
Jaslandia, Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Why do you people care so much about something with zero permanent consequences?
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Oh, it's just fun to see if it's possible to organise the region into a lean, mean, zombie-curing machine.
Plus, it tests our crisis management, regional security, and rallying abilities. Also, tradition.
Ludania, Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Well, traditionally we've floundered and been consumed by zombies.
Jaslandia, Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris, Yukona
I motion that we hearby bestow upon Romnesia the title of our resident Negative Nancy.
Ludania, Jaslandia, Killdash, New Estaris
Apparently the border controls need to be relinquished for them to join back?
New Estaris
Yes. I think we can turn them off for now. The founding account should be online. Just tell them to move in quick.
New Estaris, Yukona
I haven't participated before...;).
Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Are all the zombies really gone? Hooray!
I'm sorry I couldn't help more; I was having the engine equivalent of a panic attack all night, so Gordon and the others had to calm me down instead of firing missiles.
Also, it turned out a couple of zombies got into Tidmouth Sheds and zombified James's driver and Gordon's fireman, so we had to hold them off while Edward ran through the zombie army to get some cures.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Of all our embassy nations, we're the only ones who made it.
In other places...it's not a pretty site.

New Estaris, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I think I'll go with science next time, military seemed quite ineffective
Killdash, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Heh, well, they have to deal, really.
New Estaris
This is the strangest yet most endearing fictional state yet.
I mean, his country of mostly train engines and their operators has factbooks detailing their government structure. It's adorable!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Percyton
Now, with [nation=short]Percyton[/nation] here I couldn't imagine how I'll react if he disappears. He's one of most adorable and loveable guys here.
Jaslandia, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Confederacy Of Free Nations, Percyton
Good job everyone. I know y'all couldn't do it without me /sarcasm
But thank Killdash. He essentially gave organization to this chaos and brought us through such a troubling time. 3 cheers for Killdash!
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
You're making me blush. Thank you! I really didn't expect this.
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Oh nonsense, just doing my bit to help. Wouldn't have worked anyway without all the people who stayed up to fire the missiles anyway.
Jaslandia, Greater Banitia, Penguania And Antarctica, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
So yeah, anyone have any great design programs for Warships?
Killdash, Greater Banitia, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Sorry, not my best subject. Wouldn't know where to begin.
Guys, you did a brilliant job today. Zombie free. Never experienced that before.
Goodnight, buddies. Sleep well tonight. Love you all. <3
Jaslandia, Killdash, New Estaris, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
The world doesn't look so good
https://www.nationstates.net/page=world
This is the first time in a while that the survivor rate was higher than the infected rate.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Goodnight, Peng!
Killdash, Penguania And Antarctica
Is OK.
Technically, I actually don't need anymore, but I suck hard dong when it comes to lineart (or art in general >.>) and prefer to have a RL model or three dimension blueprint.
New Estaris
Well done on the apocalypse, guys.
Jaslandia, Killdash, New Estaris
I have awoken from my nap.
Jaslandia, Killdash, New Estaris, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
I was going to suggest that you open the borders for a bit.
But that was earlier. There's only a few hours of Apocalypse left now. I'd just leave them shut. There can't be too many people we can help now.
This has, though, given me many great ideas for the next Apocalypse.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Don't need to say it, I know how you feel. I'm trying to get one of my friends to teach me how to draw in a better way. She's incredibly talented at it, in fact, inversely proportional to myself.
Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
I can't even get better, or at least, I won't.
I'll maybe find a bit, maybe.
Penguania And Antarctica
Great news, everyone! James saw what you all were saying about me earlier, and that inspired him to want to join us once the zombie a-pock-o-lips is over. He said you all have "never seen such a splendid and red engine" as him, and that he wants to "show all those CoFNers what a truly amazing engine looks like." I'm so excited!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Oh no. He better not spam the RMB with comments about how red he is, or how he hates working with freight cars.
Penguania And Antarctica
I have to say [nation=short]Percyton[/nation] I love your Factbooks and I am increasingly excited every time I see you've made a post, I enjoy your presence in our region greatly :)
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra, Percyton
Thank you, Merc! With the way you and everyone else have been treating me, I'm really excited to be here. Hopefully James will enjoy it here just as much as I do!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Tserra, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
So, why do those other nations let zambies in?
They want to troll, is why.
Anyone else have suggestions for Warship design programs?
New Estaris
Whoo!!!
The Confederacy of Free Nations ranked 64th for most survivors!
Congrats everyone! We made the list!
Jaslandia, Killdash, New Estaris, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus
Lol.
Honestly, by this point, I'd be open and willing for someone who was just good with lineart and didn't mind donating some time.
New Estaris, Senatus Popolusque Mercunovus, Yukona
zday is over
Also, we were 45th for Most Survivors+No Infected.

Child Safety and Prevention?
What does that even mean?
Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
Condoms.
Nuremgard, Killdash, Continental Commonwealths, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris, Yukona
Those are very safe, but I don't think that safety is primarily for children.

Reminds me of those Engrish labels on knife sets that say things like "Keep out of children" (as opposed to "Keep out of reach of children")
Nuremgard
Assassinian knife sets have the same labels!
How weird is that?

Refuses to censor satirists. Civil rights goes down while social conservatism goes up.
It's one thing for issue options to influence completely unrelated factors. It's another for your option to have the opposite effect than would be expected.
Jaslandia, Killdash, Aldaur, Penguania And Antarctica, New Estaris
True. Like with allowing marriage between humans and androids reducing Civil Rights. Or, by turning over all banking decisions to robots, your Economy collapses, and the Private Sector disappears.
Jaslandia, Aldaur, New Estaris
Trump led by 1 point in the Washington Post's last poll. It's within error margins, but still that's a huge drop since email scandal v.93.44.3 occurred.
If Trump wins it'll be the first time I've been glad to live in the UK since pre-Brexit not because of the guy himself, but because of the 8 weeks of hysteria that would follow it.

I predicted that Trump would win the presidency from the moment he secured the Republican nomination. I stand by that prediction today.
I'm wholly convinced this year is some sort of cosmic vendetta against polls and celebrities
We had Brexit occur despite polls, Columbia's referendum failed despite polls and now Trump'll probably win despite all polls in the last 6 months.
also lots of dead celebrities.
Killdash, Vista Major, Penguania And Antarctica
Also, if Hilary loses, she'll have lost without the support of almost all of the big Hollywood celebrities, plus a majority of pop singers, American YouTubers and Ex-Presidents.
I think people are just so used to orange people being quoted in the media as inherently smart people, that now that one is running, the public is massively confused.
