I am tired but otherwise healthy!

I saw those posts and your Crusader Kings character. Everyone looks like they are having fun.

Sometimes I think about doing another NationSim but it really is a massive amount of effort to put together. FranceSim was exhausting, especially as people started abandoning the country en amasse for the Americas. I have something based on the Russian Revolution floating around GoogleDocs, and another game based on the Kingdom of Jerusalem. I probably won't run either, but I still toy with the statblocks from time to time.

it really is. the only one I ran that actually met to completion was the Indian Springs one you played in, and that one I think was really, really good, but mostly because it was so small-scale, and had a built-in end-date. my grenada one was pretty much D.O.A. :/

Indian Springs was fun! I just wish I could have killed more Yankees and racists, maybe using my mill.

The other issue with NationSims is that you need a player base that won't immediately abandon when the game starts. There was a brief period in which NationSims seemed to be a regular thing, and began developing an experienced playerbase. I don't know if a game run now would last long, due to player abandonment.

I think the last game I played in was Maher's Hope, which was a moon colony NationSim. I am really disappointed it never went anywhere, because I was secretly an advanced computer program masquerading as the colony's founder using Weekend at Bernie's style shenanigans.

yeah I blame myself at least partially for that; right in the middle of grenadasim I started finals and then immediately thereafter bar studying so I abandoned the internet for a few months. I think though if someone ran one, we could get enough players. We'd definitely get a handful of the LF people along with a bunch of normal people to temper their desire for eternal radicalism.
