Aye, RantSpot is probably one of the few, besides NC, who continued to exist with any regularity...

Suppose I'd fairly have to include Blake Livelys Scalp and Bodegraven in that list as well, at least in the last odd decade or so...

I can hardly believe I joined NationStates and the GRA almost 10 years ago to be honest. Can't exactly say that time has flown by, but it sure has become hard to keep track of it.

I've CTEd a bunch of times.

Yeah, the GRA that I remember was mostly about a decade ago. Though I had dabbled in NS before that, but not the whole forum world.

Yo

Hey Buck! How’re you?

About Nationstates Sports

The Nationstates Sports Community, known colloquially as "NS Sports" is a community of nations that operate and run national and international sports competitions within and between nations through the Nationstates Forum system. All nations are welcome to Nationstates Sports, Trans anarcho-communist lesbian catgirls or not. Typically politics are left at the door when competing in Nationstates Sports much as in real life, however, national elections, border conflicts and other traditional disputes regularly find their way into Nationstates Sports Roleplay threads when describing the backstories of nations competing. The current champion of the World Cup, Farfadillis, is in a period of national Anarchy which is a storyline that often takes precedence over the reporting on their individual match results. Nationstates Sports is also home to the Annual NS Olympic Games, hosted most recently by Liventia and Vilita with participation from throughout the NS Multiverse.

Prior to the move from the jolt forums, Sports were integrated in the old "NationStates" forum. However, the growth in popularity of sporting competitions between nations in game earned the community its own forum when migrated back to the NationStates server. This has allowed a major blossoming in both the quantity and quality of Nationstates Sports Role-play though there may now be less 'cross posting' between genres. We welcome all to check out some of the active Nationstates Sports threads and signup for the 85th World Cup, the longest running sporting event in all of Nationstates, which will begin this summer ( viewtopic.php?f=7&t=482320 ).

Many current and former game admins, moderators and mentors have participated in Nationstates Sports, the World Cup or smaller regional competitions. These include current sports moderators Starblaydia, Audioslavia and The Archregimancy as well as a slew of others such as Lamoni, USS Monitor, Bears Armed and The Macabees. While we have yet to see Testlandia sign up for an NS Sports competition, we are optimistic that the next World Cup will be the first and hope a successful campaign for WA Secretary General will see this become reality.

Testimonial from an active Nationstates Sports user
Imagine, if you will, a young fifteen year older. He establishes himself as a star in his home turf, a god among men. Alas, his cries for relevance require that he go through the challenges that lay beyond the borders of his very own nation. He devotes himself to being the finest man in his sport. Alas, due to his brashness, he fails miserably.

He gets thrown around by the circumstances around him at first but then he keeps at it. He realizes that there's something out there for him if he keeps at it. He soldiers on, in spite of the lack of acknowledgement from the crowd. He reaches his lowest point... and then, a breakthrough happens.

He finds himself on top of an emerging nation. He finds himself linked to what he always wanted himself to be, a world champion. That's the story of a fictional player invented by an user that has long since left the site, yet remained alive through the efforts of other users which, for better or worse, allowed his creation to enter the Hall of Fame of the sport he was introduced as a player of.

NS Sports is a tight-knit group that allows such weird stories to be told and be read with a smile. It's a place where a race car driver can be confused with a pony. It's a place where one can spend an entire tournament running a multi-faceted war and yet not take full spotlight. It's a place that isn't even restricted to the laws of causality, let alone the laws of actual sports. There's a reason the place I spent most of the time at NS is NS Sports. Never had to ruin other people's days for that too. Why don't you drop by? You might like the peace, the place... and the music sessions at Friday.

About Atlantian Oceania

Atlantian Oceania is the current delegate of Atlantian Oceania, the all-time winningest and most active region in Nationstates Sports history. Atlantian Oceania's sporting triumphs have been most prominent in the Football World Cup where they have since won 37 of the 71 World Cup's competed in since their creation; a victory rate of just over 50%. Atlantian Oceania and its users also were the first to create regional based competitions, hosting their own regional Olympics, a regional football tournament started by Krytenia which is now the longest running Regional Sports competition on Nationstates, as well as other smaller competitions leading to the classification of Atlantian Oceania as a "Sports Region". While there were other historical regions with a sports focus, none ever had the staying power of Atlantian Oceania and the model has since been followed by Rushmore and Esportiva who form the 'Big 3' of NationStates Sports.

About the Atlantian Oceania #EUR-AO Campaign for WA Secretary General

Atlantian Oceania and the Nationstates Sports Community have a long history of participation in Nationstates April Fools events. A full history is available here: page=dispatch/id=1007273 . Atlantian Oceania or its Nationstates Sporting Community allies have placed inside the Top 10 during every official April Fools event since the first Z-Day event in 2013 but have yet to claim first prize. Some of the greatest accomplishments for the community include the 3rd placed showing of the International Geese Brigades during the first Nuclear Option event and the 7th place finish during the first World Assembly Secretary General elections by partner nation Eura.

While Eura was unable to advance from Rd 1 of the 2020 Elections, Atlantian Oceania and Eura have now partnered for the #EUR-AO campaign, unifying the Nationstates Sporting community as they look for a reputable Top 10 finish in the Nationstates-wide election while at the same time looking to bring knowledge of the Nationstates Sports community to a new audience that may have been unaware of the existence of organized national sporting competitions. The official #EUR-AO campaign thread is available at viewtopic.php?f=37&t=482666

UPDATE: THE #EUR-AO campaign has now merged with the Lovable Cat Campaign of VALENTINE Z! Atlantian Oceania is the official running mate of Valentine Z for Rd 3. In Rd 2, Valentine Z was placed 7th while AO was placed 14th. Together we might just be able to make the Top 5!!!

Thank You to everyone who voted for us in Rounds 1 and 2. I hope you will all support the Valentine Z / Atlantian Oceania Joint NS Sports Ticket in Round 3!

Hello, all. Our great WA is on the brink of destruction. Racoda wants to end it, McMasterdonia wants to ruin it, Riskarga is unreliable, and Fauxia made up a fake GAR to try to get votes. Don't even get me started on some of the other candidates.

My goal is to bring the power of Sec-Gen to the people. Vote on what I do and vote on, talk to me directly, request changes, etc. And now that I have teamed up with Zoigai, even more great things are possible for the World Assembly. Just vote for us. I don't care who you vote for as long as it's me or Zoigai.

My platform:
page=dispatch/id=1339171

Zoigai's platform:

If i am voted then i will let the people run my choices and do what's best for everyone!

Even though I may not be as famous or be experienced with NS, I still have Real-Life experience being a secretary as i've served for a 2 year term for a club at my school.
Though i still have yet to publish a resolution and put it on the table for votes. I still try very hard to get involved and be active even though some days i just can't get time enough to get to this with all the work there is to do. That's why i want to make a difference for people with my same situation and help their voice stay alive even when they are inactive for a few days.

I believe that with every members help We can Make NationStates Great Again!!

As secretary I Pledge to
- Listen to every member possible
-Make sure that The duties are followed to the maximum.
- Give even the lowest of members a chance to be heard
- Do everything in my power to keep NationStates a welcoming environment
- Bam the "Dillies"

I'm ok. Still healthy so far. Mostly been absorbed with life (or a lack of one lol) and work (see again, lack of a life 😜). But then again 60 hour weeks will do that.

I'm still working so far, just less hours than what I had been, yay, we're considered essential, so I ain't out of a job. I'm glad for that despite the virus, I can't pay bills with sand.

How are you?

I’m good thanks, working from home, which I do a lot anyway, but now all the time. Only going out to exercise and get food. Watching a lot of films! And not a lot else.

How is the rest of the GRA doing?

Lower bowmania

I've popped back around...hard to believe this place still exists!

LB! How are you? Long time no see! What are you up to these days?

Lower bowmania

Not much - working like a dog, but that's about it! What's new with you, JB?

a lot of GRAers hang around the discord https://discord.gg/45VFsW8 if you guys want to pop in from time to time

I’m good thanks! Well, good enough considering the current state of the world! How is everyone doing with lockdown / COVID-19 life?

Hello SL! How’re you?

Hi!朋友们

Hey guys! I hope everyone is well! I was wondering does anyone still bother with the chat room linked in the regional bio?

I really doubt it, so why not change it to link to the discord chat at

https://discord.gg/45VFsW8

There is usually one or three people online at any given time, but it mostly seems to just be a place to touch base and see if any of us have died from Covid-19 yet.

Feel free to pop in!

We should keep a link to the old forum to keep the history accessible.

Also, I believe we were just subjected to an invasion about 4 days ago by Devide by Zero, from The Black Hawks... to use us as a SC vote? Or they didn't know we don't have an executive WA delegate and/or didn't notice the founder?

Why they did it... who knows. I am just glad they left again.

Love and honour

Never mind the old forum we need to use the discord https://discord.gg/u6AprDrbUA

Greetings and salutations from Founderless! I'm WS/VE, Foreign Affairs Director, and I've got a foreign update to share with you! No, we are not dead. We're back, better than ever, and Sedge has prepared this spicy report for y'all on where we are and where we're headed.

Give it a read: viewtopic.php?p=37999156#p37999156

On behalf of all nations in Atlantis, we wish you all a Happy, safe and active 2021 and hope that in the coming year our regions will build friendship through our Embassies.

Hello all, hope you are all well.
Here is this week's poll, regarding the heinous raid on The Embassy. Vote and feel free to share to others (it's an open poll, non-restricted) , this concerns every nation and region on NationStates!!

Great Turf Wars



There were already Turf Wars dating back to 2,000 years before the current setting, perhaps either as a competitive sport or a method to settle conflicts. The first recorded Turf War occurred during a period in Inkling history with many similarities to Ancient Egypt, roughly 2,000 years before the events of Splatoon began. However, as these Turf Wars of nineteen centuries later involved the Inklings and Octarians (instead of just teams of four Inklings), it has expanded into a bigger campaign, great enough to become a historical event.

Before the Great Turf Wars, the Inklings and Octarians had "amicable relations", until the rising sea levels caused them to lash out against each other in a power struggle over the remaining land.

As time progressed, the Octarians separated themselves from the other species of the Mollusc Era. They became dissatisfied with the amount of available dry land and waged war on the Inklings, the other dominant species at the time, to gain total control of the turf.

The Octarians constructed a variety of large machines known as the Great Octoweapons and began attacking Inkling cities.

The first battles of the Great War ended in victory for the Octarian forces. The diligent Octarians easily dominated the Inklings, who were unable to wake up early enough in the morning to defend themselves.(The Inklings have long led a hedonistic style of life).

Heralded by loud explosions, the Great Octoweapons quickly stormed the Inklings' central stronghold. Victory for the Octarians seemed all but certain, but due to a plug being carelessly pulled from its socket, their hopes were dashed. Lady Luck shone down on the Inklings, and the Inklings' victory over the Octarians was most likely due to their superior number of limbs. The Inklings secured a victory in the war and forced the Octarians to retreat to underground lairs such as Octo Valley, which were constructed from the ruins of the subterranean cities built by the remnants of humanity.

The Inkling faction had a fighting force known as the Squidbeak Splatoon led by Cap'n Cuttlefish, which fought against the Octarians during the war..
