This will be my account of my journey through Cybernations. Hopefully you will enjoy it, whether that's because it helps you understand an issue better in some way, or brings back old memories.
I've played browser games (OGame etc) before, but this is quite a bit different than those, I must say. I suppose it is the level of complexity in the game itself, as well as the dedication of the community.
I haven't really gotten into much military education yet as I'm still waiting on the NPO to a
Well when I first started to play CN, I was confused and lost. I had no idea what to do/how to manage my nation. I tried to go through all of the different categories on the side toolbar, but it did not help. So it took me a long time to get how to work my nation correctly. I was too lazy to read the information page(who hasn't before ). But it took me a long time to get it. So there may be some demand for an information page that is not so long and intimidating to the eyes. Maybe just a quick
Hi there! If you are reading my blogs for the first time, here is what it is basically about. I am jotting down observations on how a new nation would see the site for the first time and what problems/issues may occur during the first phases of playing. This is my personal observations and some people may or may not have the same initial problems as I have experienced. I may also hint some potential bugs. So if you want to comment feel free. I do ask you to follow the rules for this website if a
Anybody who knows me knows some very defining attributes about my character, namely, that I'm a fat drunk. Well, not really fat, more like a bit paunchy- but definitely a drunk. A debaucherous animal that caters only to it's carnal whims. A chain-smoking, hard drinking, sexy animal, mind you. (And I can't lie, I've loved every minute of it.)
However, the other day I decided to get off my lazy ass to engage in my quarter-yearly act of masochism, otherwise known to the world at large as exercis
The true question is will CN stand the test of time? Thus far, one could argue that CN already has. As when compared to other spreadsheet games, CN has outlived the majority of them in terms of it's life span. Although, it would be unfair not to note that as far as member retention is concerned, following a typical bell-curve, we could expect CN to fade into obscurity in the next few years if measures aren't taken. What does this mean? Eventually, CN as all good things must come to an end. Howev
God only knows what they were up to in there... and furthermore, Susan, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that all four of them habitually smoked marijuana cigarettes... reefers.

So, has anyone ever registered and earned their Master of Military Arts from Norwich University? Their ads have been on the top of the OWF for a few years and I always wondered about it.
Cryptozoology is a guilty pleasure of mine. Grainy images, videos of anomalous objects, "In Search Of" episodes and an early adolescent inability to distinguish one of my great aunts from an enlarged bi-pedal hominid (leading to multiple sightings), has finally culminated in a great revelation. One of the great mysteries in my life is about to end. This summer the existence of the infamous creature known as Bigfoot will be proven. Of this I am sure. My close friends and I discuss this subject wi
Back in my greater n00b days, when I first started playing this game with my brother (we live in separate houses and were therefore able to play CN together), we decided we would be a force for good and "hunt raiders".
My brother had been playing for some-time longer then I had, so he fed me cash while I released my inner war-monger and demolished n00bs with my own n00b nation. We'd tell them to stop raiding, while offering the raid'ees a place in our micro.
We got into trouble a few times,
Today I'm here to tell you about this beer.
You should drink it.
Also, I've already been drinking it/something/alot/tonight. Thought tonight I'm drinking capt morgan's and samuel adams and listening to ZZ Top. 10 !@#$@#$ DOLLARS FOR A 6 PACK OF SAM ADAMS WHAT A !@#$@#$ CONSPIRACY. !@#$@#$ COLLEGE TOWNS, I !@#$@#$ HATE YOU.
CAPS DO NOT EXPRESS MY OUTRAGE!
Anyway, on to the real deal.

Disclaimer: I am a known government GPA Cabinet member and a former GPA President, thus you can probably assume that my word carries a bit of weight when it comes to the Agency. I am anyway handling this affair from a player's POV rather than from an IC angle, and I can't currently really talk on behalf of the GPA, anyway, thus this isn't an "official" stance. Specifically, none of this blog entry has been arranged in the GPA.

Since our last competition was a tech challenge, I figured we'd continue along with the stat-specific competitions and have a recruiting challenge.
Now, granted, it would be incredibly easy to win a recruiting challenge if someone really wanted to; have a bunch of allies join your AA for a few days, demand that people go onto your AA in exchange for peace, spam the living daylights out of the unaligned nations, promise each new recru
For reason unbeknownst to myself I've been developing this desire to explain how you do the "real" Coffee (as I see it). And here we are!
First of all, you need a "Moka" coffee pot, i.e. something like this thing:
How you do it, tricks and newbs mistakes included:
[Newb mistake] You don't get an aluminum pot. You get a stainless steel pot. (Strangely enough, aluminum will oxidize and develop stains that will alter the flavour of your coffee: never go for aluminum, get the steel.)

1. Drink because you want it, not because you need it.
2. Bent over a toilet isn't "fun", slow down before you get there, figure out what went wrong if you do, don't repeat.
3. Work hard, then play hard. Earn the booze.
4. Be cool. Violent, passed out, mouthy, and stupid aren't cool.
5. Never drink alone.
6. Courage and self confidence can't be stored in a bottle.
7. The state is the last entity that should set a minimum drinking age--any organization that will allow you to carry an auto
In case you have not noticed, there is a new CN radio network, CyberNations International Broadcasting. Bloodfury and bros have put in a huge amount of work to put up the infrastructure, and several DJs have begun populating the network. After much pushing and pulling, Bloodfury got me to sign on to a bi-weekly show Thursdays at 9 PM EST (8 PM server).
This week in CN will be a political talkshow dedicated to current events and interviews with headline-makers. Shows will be archived and re-p
