Exaequatio wrote:Can I help!?

Have you ever looked into "cognitive functions" (eg "introverted thinking" (Ti), "extroverted intuition" (Ne), extroverted feeling" (Fe), etc) that's really what piqued my interest in it and made me read further into it. It definitely has its flaws, but when looking at cognitive functions, I find many of those holes get filled. For example, the typical eight letters don't really make the distinction between the different "thinking" or "feeling" styles, for example, as cognitive functions do.

To me, at least, you definitely seem like Ti Ne Si Fe (INTP). Your introverted thinking seems incredibly strong, which would make sense since its your dominant function as an INTP. Whereas an INFP is Fi Ne Si Te (which I wouldn't be surprised is Petro's type). Fi ("introverted feeling") is placing your internal values (doesn't necessarily have to be logical) as your primary way of decision making.

I have actually but perhaps not in as much detail as you have.
Your comment about introverted thinking makes sort of sense but I find Ti and Fi are very close together (even if some claim that they are not). I find it is difficult to assess wether a decision is made by a logical thinking process (Ti) or internal values (Fi). They seem to intertwine at some level.

And yes, I wouldn't be surprised either that INFP would be Petro's type instead of INTP.
For the longest time I thought I was the INFP and Petro the INTP. But seeing as things have evolved. I wouldn't be surprised that it is indeed the reverse.

It also didn't help having religious zealots living right next store from you either... and being closely allied with Exae/Sjeal...who were both closet trigger-happy lunatics.

I suppose. Also, it doesn't help that I'm somewhat of a closet imperialist :) (sometimes)
I mean, I did have colonies, eh..I mean mandate at some points (east and west Guppychal), which even after their mandate was revoked I worked to retain economic influence by holding on to crucial infrastructure (such as rail lines) and the companies running them. Still, I made sure they had some level of self governance in the form of a local domestic legislature (even though the executive was run by the Roelandian government and its appointed governors).

You can look at other functions to help too, like looking at Te; I'd be amazed if you're a Te user (whereas INFPs are). Fe and Te are hard to confuse.

Its good you were... benevolent... After rereading though some of our posts, it seems that Sjeal and I just made a deal to carve a bunch of inactive nations up and into our territories. Haha.

You sound like the true imperialist now.

Hi, speaking of inactive countries, here's one country that's not inactive: JCNation. I have already completed the map application process and would like to know whether I need to do something else before my application is evaluated...

Well, I hate to break of to you but this region hasn't been active for quite a long time... I haven't even looked at the application thread recently, otherwise I would have noticed. Right now this region is mainly just a storehouse for old friends who used to roleplay together in another region(s) that's now abandoned. Besides, even if I evaluated it and have you a spot on the map, you would be the only one playing at the moment as I haven't RP'd here in over a year at this point. Perhaps I should modify the application thread to signify its closure...

Sorry JC :( Thanks for your interest, though.

No problem. thanks for the information. I will probably stay anyway if it's ok (at least for a while)...

Jcnation wrote:No problem. thanks for the information. I will probably stay anyway if it's ok (at least for a while)...

Sure, that's ok. You can stay as long (or as short) as you like. You can read up on the rest of us reminisce about the goold old times :)

Ok. Thanks. I'm quite new to NationStates and have messed up two or three things within my nation by accident ;-) and am waiting for them to become available again so I can reverse my policies...

Answering issues can be a lot of fun. I know I had fun when I first joined which is now six years ago, if you want to believe it, ... Although you'll find that many (if not most) regions won't use them to relate to one another. Power status relative to each other is usually determined by some home-brew system, some of which may rely partly on the nationstates system but most of the time it won't be. So don't worry too much about the policies that come out of those issues, they are mostly satirical in nature anyway.

Commercial imperialism is where it is at now, exporting large volumes of cheap consumer goods to other nations.

How's it going fellas?

Soviet, hello. Still alive and breathing normally. What’s been happening with you?

Judgning from your deleted comment I presume you had the same "server error" problem that I had :) (which resulted in a double post in my case)

Haha, yep, exactly what happened.

I've been doing pretty well. I'm in my second year of Zoom University, which has been a real blast so far. Other than that, I haven't been up to much.

Cool! What subjects are you studying?

Out of a sense of nostalgia I went through every thread I could find and made a list of every nation that has RPed in the regions at one time or another. I found 121 nations over 4 regions. Assume the list is not fully accurate.

Very nice, although it does give a bit of the impression that you have way too much time on your hands :)

It did take a few hours and I only had one class today.

I didn't expect there to be this many nations, I was thinking at most 40-50. Enough nations to be like an IRL Earth.
