Are you bored of NS?
I'm slightly bored of it, given the numbers of repeat issues. How about you?

Funny, I was about to post the same thing. I'm bored of it. Maybe I'm not in the right RPGish mood.

I'm slightly frustrated because I can't join the UN. But since I'm a new player handling only one issue per day I've not received any repeats yet... I expect to like the game for another month or so before quitting.

Slightly bored for the same reasons as ColdWizard and Kass. I'm hoping having a map will bring the politics in this forum back to what it was around the "incidents".

RPG needs to be represented in the game at least a little bit, all that we have been doing is making up stories that have no effect at all.

also, selecting 2 issues per day really killed it for me, should have gone slower

I just started, maybe I should keep that in mind.

ACK!

Yes, it gets old quite quickly. There is only so much you can choose, and they are limited. I'll keep playing for a while longer though, I haven't gotten all the issues yet.

In related news, I still play Simcountry, and that is quite fun. It is more geared to controlling the finances and resources of a country rather than the ideology of the country.

Still very much enjoying it, and only just starting to participate some in the RPG-ish aspects...
I only joined a couple of days ago, though.

I'm bored of Simcountry too. Too many things to handle. Suddenly Civ3 seems a very attractive game again...

I voted that I'm very bored with NationStates, because that's true. It's getting abit tedious as the server seems to have some "issues" and only certain times of the day seem to be good to access the site. Also the following reasons have caused it:

- Repeatative issues. I'm sure I've had that marriage issue at least 4-5 times soon and most others too several times, so it gettings abit tedious. I'm now more like tossing a coin which one I should choose, rather than following a specific political agenda.

- Maintaining contacts. I have limited time and I've been slacking with all the diplomacy in this forum, so that's why Suomi has lost it's position in the development of the region and in general I have only very few contacts.

- General atmosphere. As the overall atmosphere seems to be abit depressed or bored here, it has an influence on me too.. I'm not eager to think about the sports issue as no one else seem to be thinking either. I've never received any work from the UN regional court, despite I'm a judge, as Drogue has handled the work.

Now I have 2 countries (one in Apolyton and on in AoE2) as Frozzy introduced NS on AoE2.com (I'm quite sure I'm right when I smell meat in it ), so now I have to govern two nations, despite New Livonia is easier as you only need to check the issues as the NS playing on AoE2.com isn't organised.

I guess I'm soon like Marwin when it comes to NS issues or bored as Coldy.

WZ,

I don't know. I guess we are all too bored to take the initiative.
