With the Upstate community as dead as it's relativity, the Commonwealth of Jefferson-Lewis finds interest in New York as a whole as it appears to be much more functional and active with much more opportunities of cooperation. We wish you all glory and prosperity.
Oh it's pretty quiet here. Not much gameplaying going on, for that you might be better served in Hell.
New feature rolled out! It's pretty sweet.
I telegramed you Gell! Check your tgs! :P
I am pleased to announce, Hell has a Governor and the gates are OPEN, after nearly a decade behind a password.
Can check out our special edition of Hell's Bells here!
Ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
May 16th, 2023
Special Edition I. Back in Black
After over 8 and half years behind a password, Hell has finally reopened their gates. Thanks to the creation of the new frontier/governor system put into place, Hell has just appointed long time delegate and King of Hell The Stalker as governor. Freeing Hell from all prior security concerns and allowing the permanent removal of the password that had kept Hell safe for almost a decade. Special thanks to Sedgistan for pioneering this change that will allow a new life to so many historic regions.
In conjunction with momentous event, please join me in congratulating Premedite, Draconic Aiur, and Morbus as they all rise to the rank of Hell Elder. Long time residents of Hell and some of the very last to complete the trials to join Hell, it is an honor to have them join the rank eldership.
As the newly appointed governor, I’d like to take a moment to thank my fellow elders for helping us get here. I thank Cynical Alcoholics, the most senior Hell Elder since July 2003 and only other Hellion left who was once delegate of Hell and his long service to the region. I thank Donkervader, one of the first nations I recruited to join Hell upon becoming delegate almost 9 years ago. I thank Sathan, long time Hell Elder since December 2004. I thank Boolaroo long time Hell Elder since March 2004. I thank Yodoshi aka Daisy Johnson for her leadership of Underworld and devotion to the Hellion community. I thank Kyraina long time friend and Prince of Hell. I thank Altmoras as leader of the Horsemen, and all the advise and help with security he has given over the years.
I thank my former co-rulers, Freddland the Gatekeeper of Hell and Big jim p the Lord of Hell, for putting their trust in me all those years ago to lead Hell, it is my hope they some day return to see the newly freed Hell.
And a shout out to Gehenna Primus, Demonos, Mrev the Dead Goblin, and anyone I may have missed. It was a collective effort to get here, and it is because of their and all the Elders past and present dedication to Hell that reopening the gates became possible. It’s been too long, and we’re glad to be back.
We hope you've enjoyed our special edition of Hell's Bells. Nations interested in contributing to future issues should contact The Stalker for details.
Important Note: In payment for having enjoyed our Newspaper you are expected to up arrow this factbook. Failing to up arrow this factbook means you are willing choosing to forfeit ownership of your soul to The Stalker for all eternity instead. Thanks for reading.

Philosophers 4th News Edition.
4th Ed.
Summer 2023
Theme: Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Price: $500 (cost of living uplift).
Introduction:
- It's here! It's here!
- I see the crowds waving and cheering (jeering, actually) on the long-awaited 4th Ed of the Philosophers News. Good things come to those who wait. And we have been waiting for over a year! This is how Christians must have felt upon the publication of the Bible many years after the event.
-What a momentous year it has been. In a real-world setting:
- Covid has been declared a non-emergency.
- The UK came second last in Eurovision after being second first, one year previously (ah, fortunes do change).
- Ukraine continues to fight against the fascist regime of Putin.
- Other events, of course, but the Eurovision News, indeed, comes top.
- And, oh... ChatGPT and AI taking over... apparently. Indeed, we embrace this shorthand tool as we dive into this fabulous 4th News Ed.
- The theme, this edition, according to ChatGPT anyway, is: Artificial Intelligence (AI). How we got this remains a mystery, but we have to be subordinate to our computer AI overlords.
Debate Highlights:
- Brought to you by the beautiful collaboration of ChatGPT. We have searched high and low of the RMB, compiled it in the Deep Blue supercomputer and yet... somehow... still came out with this... take a look below.
Questioning the nature of reality: The authors examine the reliability of memories and the distinction between dreams and reality. They explore the idea that what is often considered supernatural or metaphysical may simply be scientific phenomena that are not yet understood.
Inconsistencies and anomalies: The authors describe instances where people they know were believed to be deceased but later appeared alive again, causing confusion and speculation. They also mention encounters with unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that defied conventional explanations, leading to a reevaluation of their understanding of the physical world.
Scepticism versus open-mindedness: While acknowledging the importance of scepticism and the principle of Parsimony, the author also expresses a willingness to consider theories of parallel universes and other advanced scientific concepts. They emphasize expanding perception and embracing experiences that challenge conventional beliefs.
Unexplained phenomena and seeking explanations: The authors recount personal experiences, such as sightings of unidentified objects in the sky, that cannot be easily explained. They turn to theoretical science as a possible source of explanations for these phenomena, suggesting that the current understanding of the world may be limited.
Overall, the posts explore the possibility of parallel realities, challenge traditional beliefs, and encourage open-mindedness in the face of unexplained phenomena. It raises questions about the nature of reality, memory, and our understanding of the physical world.
Are we obliged to help others? This question raises fundamental considerations about our moral responsibilities and the nature of societal obligations. To delve into this topic, exploring different perspectives and underlying principles that shape our understanding of justice, ethics, and human interactions is crucial.
When examining the notion of obligation, it is valuable to reflect on the concept of "help." What does it mean to help others? Is it offering a small gesture of kindness, intervening in critical situations, or actively seeking to alleviate suffering? The magnitude and inconvenience of assistance play a significant role in determining the likelihood of people providing help. While many individuals believe they are helpful, their definition of helpfulness often falls within self-serving boundaries, such as online activism or raising awareness, which may require minimal effort or personal sacrifice.
Regardless of personal beliefs, religion has profoundly influenced societal values and moral frameworks. Different faiths offer distinct sets of moral rules and incentives, whether pursuing spiritual rewards, avoiding divine punishments, or ensuring a favourable afterlife. Yet, these manufactured moral structures sometimes fail to translate into genuine acts of assistance, especially when inconvenient or demanding significant sacrifices. People may align themselves with religious principles, but the extent to which they genuinely adhere to them often varies.
To truly explore the question of obligation, we must strip away the notion of reward or penalty and examine it from a perspective devoid of external influences. In this context, the focus shifts to the responsibility of individuals to offer assistance in a world where no rewards or penalties exist. From this standpoint, it becomes evident that individuals have no inherent obligation to help others.
However, if we broaden our perspective to encompass social responsibility and the cultivation of a compassionate society, the notion of obligation takes on a different dimension. While not bound by duty, individuals can recognize the importance of helping others as an integral part of fostering kindness and collective well-being. In this sense, we are responsible for offering assistance if we are committed to building a compassionate society.
Returning to the hypothetical scenario of Gilligan, the castaway on the USS Minnow, the question of obligation becomes more concrete. As the skipper or a passenger, the duty to save Gilligan's life is paramount. Moreover, the severity of the situation necessitates immediate action, with everyone present sharing the responsibility to rescue him. However, this specific scenario involves a clear and urgent danger where the moral imperative to save a life outweighs any personal considerations.
Drawing a parallel to global issues, we encounter challenges like extreme poverty and starvation in different parts of the world. While comparing these scenarios to Gilligan's plight may be tempting, the complexities and scale of global issues render a straightforward solution impossible. The responsibility to help others extends beyond individual actions, requiring systemic changes, collective efforts, and international cooperation. While the need to address such issues is undeniable, it is crucial to consider the practicalities, limitations, and potential unintended consequences of different approaches.
In summary, the obligation to help others demands careful examination of the nature of assistance and the absence of external rewards or penalties. While individuals are not inherently obligated to help, a compassionate society values the well-being of others and acknowledges the importance of collective responsibility. Striving for a community that fosters kindness and supports those in need can lead to a more just and harmonious world. However, the complexities of global challenges require thoughtful consideration and a multifaceted approach to address them effectively.
Sentience in non-human animals: The argument is made that non-human animals, including humans, possess feelings unless severely brain-injured. The author supports this claim by highlighting the similarity in the pain response across different animal species when injured, suggesting a shared capacity for emotions and consciousness.
The role of an agreed definition of sentience: The post acknowledges that the crux of the debate lies in reaching a consensus on the definition of sentience. It questions whether the resistance to accepting non-human animals as sentient beings stem from religious beliefs, specifically the Christian idea of human superiority.
The subject-object dichotomy: The author explores the distinction between subjects and objects in relation to sentience. Mechanical and programmable computers, lacking autonomy and the ability to feel pain, are considered objects and not viewed as having souls or sentience. In contrast, animals and humans possess rationality, the capacity for suffering, and the ability to plan for the future, placing them in the subject category with direct moral status.
Marginal cases and moral status: The argument is presented that denying direct moral status to marginal cases, such as people in comas, would logically justify denying it to computers. However, the author contends that this circular argument needs to be revised, as computers lack direct moral status due to their current lack of sentience.
Potentiality of AI and the significance of the subject: The author discusses the potential for AI, specifically referring to beings like Data from Star Trek, to become sentient. However, they conclude that current AI systems do not possess the potential for sentience, and labelling them as such would diminish the importance of the subject and blur the line between objects and subjects.
Regarding AI models:
The authors introduce their fascination with AI models like ChatGPT, Dall-e, and Bard, acknowledging the philosophical and ethical concerns surrounding their capabilities. AI models' natural language processing abilities raise questions about whether they are merely parroting learned text or making deeper connections. The posts highlight AI's exciting and disturbing implications that can mimic human conversation and prompt readers to consider the positives and negatives associated with this technological advancement.
In summary, the posts explore the concept of sentience in non-human animals, the resistance to accepting their sentience, the subject-object dichotomy, moral status in marginal cases, and the potentiality of AI to be considered sentient. It also raises philosophical and ethical concerns regarding AI models and their impact on society.
The controversy surrounding Roald Dahl is disheartening, particularly when a publishing house attempts to make significant changes to his works based on a particular ideology without the author's input. Editing a piece while the author is alive and can provide feedback is one thing, but altering a deceased author's original work raises concerns.
The quote by Francis Bacon captures the sentiment that no modifications should be made to an artist's original work once they have passed away, regardless of the reasons. Such changes become even more questionable when they veer into absurdity and pettiness. In reference to the article (https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/feb/18/roald-dahl-books-rewritten-to-remove-language-deemed-offensive), one example is found in The Witches, where a paragraph explaining that witches are bald beneath their wigs is replaced with the line: "There are plenty of other reasons why women might wear wigs, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that."
Overall, the incident surrounding Roald Dahl's books highlights the debate on censorship and the importance of preserving an author's original vision, particularly when they are no longer here to defend their work.
The concept of monarchy is indeed intriguing, and it's interesting to see it being discussed despite its perceived decline as an ideology. One can understand the perspective of those who believe that some elected individuals lack self-awareness, consciousness, and understanding of the consequences of their actions, leading to poor decision-making. This raises the question: would a single, unelected person be any different?
A glimpse into history reveals that monarchs often exhibited qualities such as wrath, stubbornness, vengeance, greed, deceit, arrogance, and sadism. They ruthlessly strengthened their positions, often at the expense of innocent lives, because it seemed like the rational thing to do. Their decisions were often driven by their pompous egos and endless narcissism. Life under a monarchy was far from orderly and organized; it was a world where domination ruled supreme. Additionally, destructive wars were frequently waged at the whims of monarchs.
On the other hand, in a democracy, there is at least a chance to bring about change. It provides an opportunity to unseat aggressive, callous egoists and choose leaders who will not perpetuate more suffering. In a monarchy, one is left powerless, watching as friends and family bear the consequences of one person's faults, with no ability to effect change.
However, it is important to acknowledge that democratically elected leaders are not necessarily superior at governing than the kings of old. In fact, some argue that they are worse, as they often seek power to amass wealth and have limited time due to term limits. They resort to manipulation, lies, and suppressing opposition, only to leave when they have accumulated enough wealth, leaving a void for another power-hungry individual or group to step in, perpetuating the cycle.
In a monarchy, leadership and wealth are hereditary, eliminating the need for excessive lying and stealing. It prevents the use of mass media, propaganda, and constant changes in laws to benefit friends and family, followed by subsequent regime changes that lead to societal upheaval, division, and hopelessness. While the elected thieves may be tolerated in the hopes of a new administration in the next election, the reality often disappoints.
In a monarchy, there is at least a chance for stability, progress, and development, as politics and the economy are not destabilized every few years by the advent of a new regime. The monarch has a legalized right to rule and possesses enough wealth to avoid risking the entire country for the sake of short-term gains that can occur within a four-year span.
It appears that some posters may be exaggerating the problems they have personally experienced while downplaying the problems they hadn't. Do you, dear reader, genuinely believe that life under a monarchy was superior to life in a democracy? It's reminiscent of those American "socialists" who claim that life in a communist country is preferable to life in the United States. Have you considered what a traditional monarchy, like the one in North Korea, entails?
Yes, North Korea can be seen as a monarchy in spirit, often referred to as a hermit kingdom. One man, Kim Jong Un, exercises total, absolute, and unquestionable control over the entire population. Everyone must treat him with absolute adoration, or face execution for insulting his ego. That's precisely how things were under a monarchy. Does "leadership and wealth being hereditary, thus eliminating the need to lie and steal with so much effort" hold true? North Korea serves as evidence to the contrary. The ruling regime doesn't care about your identity or wealth. Your property belongs to your feudal owner, and if the ruler decides, it can be taken away from you. Monarchs of the past did the same. The reason they didn't need to put in as much effort to lie and steal was that it was easier back then. Monarchies did employ propaganda, and they did change laws to benefit their families while oppressing the people. You were constantly bombarded with propaganda about the perfection of the king, all while having to provide substantial tribute to sustain the extravagant lifestyles of their relatives, only to wait for the next king to plunge the realm into chaos through a foolish inheritance war.
To put it simply, so many haven't experienced what it's truly like to live in a country solely dedicated to fulfilling the ego of one individual. "Oh no, another president of my nation embezzled funds. Let's overthrow the entire system and establish a monarchy!" If you delve into history, you'll realize that all your claims are ultimately false. Kings did lie and steal, sometimes even more openly than contemporary presidents. Their propaganda compelled people to treat them as living gods. They manipulated laws to suit their families while suppressing the populace. The death of a king often plunged society into chaos, division, and hopelessness if the successor was sufficiently deranged, as was frequently the case. Thieves were tolerated as long as they benefited the king, and the arrival of a new king brought no significant change. People continued to live in a totalitarian state with no hope for improvement. Furthermore, the economy was destabilized whenever the king made ill-advised financial decisions that threw the realm into chaos.
It's worth mentioning that some arguments may unintentionally serve as free propaganda for the alt-right. It tempts me to revisit Aristotle's "Politics." Assessing political systems is no easy task; one must consider the best-case, worst-case, and likely scenarios, along with the ever-changing variables. Moreover, one must define the terms clearly: are we discussing any form of democracy versus any form of monarchy, or are we specifically referring to certain types?
Plato, as a philosopher, advocated for the philosopher king. However, it's worth noting that associating his preference with his philosophical background could be considered an ad hominem argument. Furthermore, characterizing one poster's comment as "free propaganda" borders on name-calling.
To argue against monarchy, we can employ one poster's reasoning ("I don't believe people can represent themselves or deserve elections due to a lack of self-awareness, consciousness, understanding of their actions and consequences, and general destructive behavior"). We can add that those kings and emperors were also individuals. If people are poorly behaved and easily manipulated, imagine the potential consequences of manipulating one person at a time, passing on this manipulation to their children and future generations.
Ultimately, the debate centers around corruption and how to avoid it. Would a fresh start with a more direct democracy that truly represents the will of the people it serves help? This would lead to less corruption, as those administering the government at the local level would be more attuned to the needs of the people and accountable to them. While direct democracy may be an ideal that we cannot fully achieve, we can establish an administrative structure that empowers decision-making at the local level, with more frequent elections and referenda on crucial local issues, such as annual local government budgets.
Present-day examples, such as China and Russia, demonstrate undercurrents of an empire-like structure where the elite and wealthy retain power while the majority of the population suffers and lacks representation. This situation is not dissimilar to the West, where the rich and elites continue to wield power while the majority of the population experiences marginalization. However, the difference lies in the fact that during elections, there is a chance for significant change if public sentiment shifts, and individuals are not imprisoned for holding dissenting opinions, unlike the current situation in China.
Democracy may indeed be the worst form of government, except for all the others
Hall of Fame and Shame:
Shame:
- The votes are in, and we deliver nil pois to Putin. Shame. Shame. Shame. Ah, to strip him naked and throw fruit and other objects at him on the street.
- Paying homage to previous editions, Ayn Rand replaced the Shame segment. However, this added little to the Shame theme here. So instead, we name her the permanent honour holder and perennial runner-up. Low-hanging fruit is easily picked.
Fame:
- As influential as this publication is, I know, I know, TIME magazine has asked us to partner with them for Person of the Year on several occasions, but dammit, we are not a sell-out commercial enterprise despite what our vast team of AI-generated workfare of Oompa Loompas may otherwise suggest. Our TIME Philosopher Person of the Year this Edition goes to John Searle, especially considering his work on AI. Check out the argument here.
Regional:
- Philosophers has again expanded like the list of charges in Donald Trump's FBI file in 2023. So far, we have seen an almost tripling of the population. And all without entering into the Raider's wet dream of Frontier mode.
- We naturally welcome all, including our raider friends, should they have a philosophical bent.
- We continue to accept all into the region and embassy requests should relationships wish to be forged. We simply don't collect them, though. Contact should be made via the WAD, and an offer for dinner, cake, and an overnight at a 5-star hotel. But I'll leave the finer details to you, fellow respective AI-generated chatbots.
Regional Map:
- Not since the days of the Age Of Discovery has map-making been revamped to such degrees. This makes the Mercator Projection look old, circa 1569 old, alongside the standard Web version... 2005... Thankfully our efforts have enlisted ChatGPT again, and although the map is similar, we have new countries listed, which is, you know, far more accurate. Contact MountAye to claim your place on this most precise world map Projection.
- Check out the regional map.
Conclusions:
- The ending is always the worst. Unless you're the WHO and conducting the end of the unprecedented novel coronavirus pandemic health emergency. But an ending it must be. We hope you enjoyed the read and join us via the RMB in the future.
-The words of wisdom are carefully forged below as our usual sign-off message.
-“The trouble was that he was talking in philosophy but they were listening in gibberish.”
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods.
-Don't say: it's been too long since the 3rd Ed was out, you lazy S&%£.
-Do say: a 5th Ed is due out, eventually... I thought I had become illiterate, as it's the only article I'll read now.
- Until... what is time?
Best,
Philosophers
Layarteb is more avoided than the Devil.

“We impose order on the chaos of faction evolution. You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.”
- The Stalker when asked the purpose of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
The non-aggression pact, the shameless megafaction, the backroom agreement, these are the tools of cowards and weaklings. True glory rests in the hands of those who succeed on their own merits. Strength is the only currency accepted by The Atom, and only the strong will prosper on N-Day. The Horsemen of the Apocalypse are the greatest faction in N-Day history, that is a simple fact, the highest score ever, the highest faction population ever, the most nukes ever, the most shields ever, the only faction to ever finish at #1 with no radiation, our accolades are limitless, our abilities are peerless. You all know who we are, and you know what we're about. If you wish to free yourself from the shackles placed upon you by bickering cowards and sycophants then seek us out. The ability to choose what is destroyed, when, and in what manner is the exclusive prerogative of the powerful, following the weak will only lead to you being counted among the vanquished.
RP aside, we dominated last N-day, claiming the top 10 faction ranks in the name of the Apocalypse, and we're going to win again this time even if it requires us to actually try a little. If you want to be in the #1 faction then join us, accept no substitutes.
If you want to flex on all the other nerds that play this game join our Discord now and join our faction.
And I heard as it were the noise of thunder, One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw, and behold...
The Count Down: page=news
It's time my friends, The Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride once again.
Hell, Underworld, The Order of the Grey Wardens, Lily, Glass Gallows, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, St Abbaddon, and bringers of the apocalypse ride again!
For those who haven't ridden with us before and for those of us in need of a refresher please read over the NS News dispatch here; page=dispatch/id=874170
Simple Version.
1. Join faction to start building production
2. Spend Production on missiles or shields
3. Use missile to strike foes for points, use shields to stop incoming missiles
4. Read ^ dispatch, V read the Plan.
5. Be on the Discord! >>> HERE! <<<
The Plan
We show no mercy. Join us and you will be free to attack whomever you wish, we have only targets and make no non-aggression pacts.
Join us on the discord for organization hits, or pick your own targets on your own.
Stick to your specialty, if you're military build nukes, if you're strategic build shields. If you're economic do whatever you please. Whatever your specialization be ready to fight at the start, who knows how many losers from last year will try and fail to get revenge on us early.
Hail to the Riders of the Apocalypse, for we are the leaders of the Horsemen, follow us into oblivion and glory.
Best way to avoid becoming a repeated target will be to keep our defense strong, if they can't land a strike on us, and we don't attack them, they will move on. While we'll focus on earning points.
I wanna encourage folks to have a 40% offense, 60% defense slant on production. Particularly at the start of the game and while people are more active. At the start we will see a lot of attacks coming in from everywhere, so have your defenses ready. Remember it is better to stop the first attack to discourage future attacks, strikes only get easier later on.
All of this will be organized through our discord.
Altmoras is the Lord of War, leader of the Horsemen, follow his orders.
FAQ
How many nations to use?
Short answer, as many as you can manage, and in relationship to the time you plan to put in.
Everyone should use at least one nation, if you plan to put in the time and effort use a few more. Remember you build resource/"production" only when the nation is in the Faction. Allowing you to buy shields and missiles, more nations means more you can build up, have one nation just for defense, one for missiles, etc.
However more nations also means more targets for our foes to target! So you gotta pull the weight of the nations you use. Lots of inactive targets is bad, what we want is the right amount of active folks making best use of the max production they can handle.
Does this affect my nations stats??
No! There are no long term repercussions.
History of the Horsemen
N-Day I: We made it into 30th for top strike, our offense was on point. However we didn't have nearly enough defense, we also attacked indiscriminately, started fights, and got mass attacked by everyone in return.
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, Glass Gallows, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day II: We made it into 12th place with 12,606 strikes, and only taking 5,827 hits.
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, Glass Gallows, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day III: We rocked the house taking 2nd place thanks to the tireless work of Altmoras, with 67,539 strikes, and only taking a mere 39 hits.
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, Glass Gallows, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, Citadel of Ricks, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day IV: We won. We came in 1st. 332,564 strikes and not a single hit landed on us. We are the Kings of the Apocalypse!! Great work to all involved, special thanks to organizer and leader of the Horsemen Altmoras!
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, Glass Gallows, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, Citadel of Ricks, The Order of the Grey Wardens, Lily, St Abbaddon, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day V: We took on all of NationStates. For the first 13 glorious hours of N day we rage war on all of NS. No alliances and no mercy was shown, pure slaughter and destruction followed. Eventually in the 13th hour, all of NS united against the Horsemen and finally overwhelmed us nuking us into oblivion. Ending with a score of -643,469. The remaining faction fed on our faction's corpse.
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, Glass Gallows, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, The Order of the Grey Wardens, Lily, St Abbaddon, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day VI: We joined with the Crabs and became Crabs of the Apocalypse! Two of the most powerful factions joined as one left no chance for anyone else. First 12hours Crabs of the Apocalypse had a non-aggression pact with The Potato Alliance, and the two removed weaker factions of the board. Upon ending the non-aggression pact, TPA was destroyed, and the rest of NS shortly followed. Crabs of the Apocalypse dominated so completely all ten of top faction spots were claimed in the Crabs of the Apocalypse. Final score was an absurd 1,287,974.
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, The West Pacific, The Pacific, Balder, United Kingdom, The Great North, The Communist Bloc, Europeia, The Leftist Assembly, The Land of Kings and Emperors, The Internationale, The Social Liberal Union, The Sasquatch Republic, Glass Gallows, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, The Order of the Grey Wardens, Lily, St Abbaddon, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day 6 News Report
N-Day VII: Horsemen of the Apocalypse returned in classic form. Naturally claiming first once more with score of 444,575.
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, The Order of the Grey Wardens, Lily, Blackstar, St Abbaddon, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day 7 News Report
N-Day VIII: Horsemen of the Apocalypse once again claim the crown. Scoring a record breaking 1,652,905 score. Making the 4th N-day we’ve won, more than any other faction. First several hours the major factions built up farming smaller faction, until Potato Alliance and Cosmic Corsairs attacked Anime Nations Against Liberals (ANAL). Once the dust settled, Horsemen came in and cleaned house on Potato Alliance. ANAL and Cosmic Corsairs would continue to fist fight throughout the event. Over the course of the event the Horsemen would rain hellfire upon the remaining factions, claiming the top three positions, and largely only factions that had their nations leave the faction after scoring would remain positive.
Member Regions: Hell, Underworld, Middle Earth, Hippy Haven, The Order of the Grey Wardens, Lily, St Abbaddon, Atlantis, and bringers of the apocalypse.
N-Day 8 News Report
N-Day IX: Similar to N-day 5, we took on all of NationStates, only to eventually be overrun and destroyed.
