To think there are people here younger than NationStates.

It's also heart-warming to hear other people joining NS in middle/high school. I discovered it in high school, and, along with my friend group, it became such a fun time. We literally pulled in so many other people into our silly region war, and it just made high school so much better!

Can someone link a HQ Wii Sports Bowling GIF where it's thrown behind? I almost hit someone with a 9lb-er, trying to get 20mph speed, and, well…

I discovered it in HS because everyone in my political science/economics/US government class was playing it. Now I do not even remember what my nation was named. I just remember that it had a line drawing of a capybara as its flag. I made one nation after that one and before this one and my two other puppets and it is currently my ambassador nation in Yggdrasil.

I hear they do radiocarbon dating nowadays (don't worry you aren't too old for this kind of thing). People with pruners snip a tiny branch off ya, and analyze it for ratios of radioactive carbon isotopes. If you don't have any carbon-14 left, then you're hella old.

Well, considering you're probably immortal...
Yeah, I find it interesting that there are young people around Forest as well. It seems that most of my generation is either in a Pacific or a meme-based region.

Younger than NationStates here as well!

I would like to think I can 'hang' with those who are older than me. After all, nationstates does only appeal to a certain demographic of people - those who are capable of comprehending certain concepts like government, civics, and intelligent conversation more than others. Then again, I am just young, so I may be stepping out of what I should be permitted to say.

I do, unfortunately, feel UCRs are not considered as important by most of my generation who tend to be feederites on the whole, and it makes me worry a little bit for the direction this will be taking NationStates.

Why only post on the forest RMB? Our RMB is interesting too.

Maybe too much RP for some people, 10/10 of the last posts have been about RP, but still, it is fun.

Too much of this :D-faced person, too! You’d think it was a masked dance performance with the three :Ds in a row...

*meekly raises hand*

That statement is the NS equivalent of “wow, you’ve gotten so big!”— the thing everyone older says in increasing frequency relative to their age about anyone especially young. :P

I bet you cannot guess my age.

I'm going to go with Ambassador Tiku and guess 16.

Hawwwwwww how is Late 30s rude to someone in their early 30s? I would say I was fairly close!

How would you like to be aged nearly ten years?

Rounding up age is never a good idea. Trust me, some people will get p*ssed off.

My tip: when you're face to face with someone and they say "how old would you say I am", always take what you think, and knock five to ten years off. Always better to round down than up (with the exception of teens hoping to get into a club without being ID'd, no-one has ever been offended at having their age underestimated, face-to-face -- online it's a whole other minefield).
