Well we did have admin access to his entire discord and put the link to logs of it in a channel that hundreds of people had access to, so it's not out of question that he had personal information in there somewhere and some enterprising goon dug em up.

It's literally simple text and input boxes. You could play it on a phone from 2008.

There's also not much actual playing which makes all of the drama and ruined-my-life seriousness around it baffling.

Imagine a game with literal children and teens playing it that doesn't require anything more sophisticated than a phone. Combine that with nominal adults whose maturity is the same as said children and teens.

I just meant the time investment is so minimal for the average player that it's confusing how they get so invested.

But the goon perspective is maybe strange because a lot of people wouldn't have ever touched this if it weren't for "just follow these directions with these resources and we'll tell you when to do something else" while most pubbies probably started a nation, learned the game, joined an alliance, planned stuff, have to manage resources and try to grow, etc.

It's likely the groups they form that is the thing they're latched to, the Discord channels they've made "friends" in.

They then use their victories in game as a group celebration of accomplishment in their otherwise bland existences. They may also take pleasure from imagining themselves as the actual leaders of their grand countries.

By using the social/economic policy aspects in the game, they're able to signal to each other who's good and who's not.

So goons come in and smash their sand castle that they and their friends made, with the escapism they made for themselves over years.

It makes sense why they'd cling to it.

Yeah when you’ve been playing Serious Nazi Roleplay for years and suddenly a bunch of people join who treat the RP as a joke, report the nazi bullshit to admins, and still kick your rear end with regularity it could be a little jarring.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

So, this thing got me interested and I decided to join up.

I followed the instructions in the OP (including applying both in-game and on Discord) and got up to the point where the bot asks you the nation ID.

Then the bot just stopped working, and that's it so far. As I am an idiot I have to ask, do I miss something very obvious here that I need to do?

Thanks, but I already found my ID under Basic Information. My problem is that the drat bot doesn't accept the number. After three tries I gave up and came here. (My ID is 185964, in case that helps)

Edit:

Well, at least I can play Baseball in the mean time. By which I mean I'm sadistically forcing people to come to Antarctica to play against my nation's team. :getin:

:stare: Man, do I feel dumb. The bot only asked the first time, and I assumed I had to follow instructions to the letter, so when it stopped asking, I stopped typing !answer.

Now I realized I had to type "!answer" before every goddamn answer, regardless of what the bot asks. It worked now!
