Is this how our country has been run?

[Grumpmeister]

I was sent a link to this site a while back and I'm now convinced that Bliar and co have been using it to create and test policy (not to mention ripping off other people's) before unleashing it on the rest of us.

Although scarily enough some of the policy options you are given here are more sensible than what has been coming out of Number 10

From a recent thread . . .

Concerning the rules about Warez (as defined in the One Stop Rules Shop):

Do ROMs and emulators for abandonware games fall under the "or keys/cracks/hacks to software to get around purchasing requirements" clause in the rules about warez?

The issue came up in a recent thread (to be left nameless unless absolutely necessary), and while that thread now seems to be resolved, I'd like to get some mod clarification on the subject should the question come up again.

I think I'll stick to Mornington Crescent; I have a map to help me. . .

[Grumpmeister]

Er I hate to ask this Pastis but what on earth are you on about. Its browser based not abandonware or warez? 

[Nick]

This thread started out quite promisingly and now it has gone all technical! And so quickly

[Grumpmeister]

ok Nick just for you:

Non techie instructions
1. Click on link
2. Create a country
3. Follow instructions 

[Nick]

Well why didn't you say that the first time? You should get a job writing manuals for electronic appliances!

Step 3 might contain hidden traps though

The quote is from a recent topic on the site... that was enuff for me!

[Grumpmeister]

Ah random topic inserts, are you certain you arent one of Nick's alter egos 

[Pastis]

Perish the thought! I have enough problems with my own ego thank you.

[Nick]

Wot alter egos?

[Grumpmeister]

I'd count them up for you Nick old boy but it would overload my calculator

I tried it,, my national Animal was the sheep..the currency was the Taff,, I have been sacked as the The Great Leader, Keeper of the Seven Seals, master of the Known Universe and surrounding  bits of Dark Matter. It pretty darn hard being a liberal leader

How on earth did you manage to get sacked, I've been playing it for a while now and havent had that happen? Having said that my style tends to swing from benevolent to psychotic depending on what kind of day I'm having, overall it seems to work though
