@Drusketh Hello! I don’t know if I can give you explicit permission to copy the game as it was, as that would require some legal shenanigans, but I certainly won’t mind that you draw inspiration from the game. Good luck!

@StianBa Hello, Stian. I am reaching out to you in an attempt to receive your blessing for the recreation of Nationsgame. I understand that you are quite busy with your job and that it doesn't really leave any extra time for you to work on old projects.

@volzee52 I don’t think that’s realistic, unfortunately.

@StianBa Ohh, it seems I made a spelling error. Can the NationsGame community by chance purchase the game itself?

@StianBa Hello, can the NationsGame community by chance by nationsgame.net?

@IsaacDykes4 No, unfortunately. It would require a lot of time for me to facilitate that, and that is time I don't have, or can use on Nations now.

@StianBa One more thing: and there's absolutely no scenario in which you'd be willing to let us work on it?

@StianBa Hi, I'm the admin for the NG Wiki. Even now we're still getting people on the discord asking when they can play the game so I was wondering if there was anything we the community could do for you to let us work on the game (not fully hand it over), eg a letter of support

@MatyBoyRocks No, sorry, nothing positive at least. I find it highly unlikely that Nations will be live again unless something drastically changes.

@StianBa hello sir i don't want to seem as if i keep bugging you but was just wondering if you have anything for us as far as NG is concerned thank you matt.

@MatyBoyRocks Hello! Unfortunately, I don’t think that’s possible. My priorities are not on Nations at the moment.

@StianBa hello sir we where wondering if it where possible to arrange a chat on the nations discord in order to discuss the game and its future on a day and time set by you so its not incontinent and as many of the mod team can be there as possible Thanks.

@MatyBoyRocks Hello there! No, sorry. I can't even say for sure that it will become online again

@StianBa hello sir are you able to give us a time frame for the game?

@quaccsac @MatyBoyRocks Thanks, you too!

@StianBa @MatyBoyRocks That’s understandable, I do hope that in the end Nations will return sometime. Thanks for replying stay safe man.

I know this has been said from @MatyBoyRocks previously but what has been going on with Nations for a lil bit? @StianBa I hope it’s not gonna be a permanent thing. Really missed playing it when I was in with the community.

@MatyBoyRocks Hello! Yes, I had to take it down due to some (not entirely unexpected) issues. I'm not sure when I will be able to get the game back up again, but it's no secret that Nations is unfortunately a bit neglected at the moment.

@StianBa hello sir i was just wondering if this was your doing?

@ng_pharaoh Hello! That's a generous offer, that would cover cost for the server and database upkeep for about month, but I'm afraid it wouldn't do alot to help the speed issue, as that's more of a code and infrastructure issue. So, while it's a great offer, I wouldn't be able to accept it

@StianBa How much does server space cost? I'd be willing to donate $100 (USD) if that would make any meaningful difference in server space/speed of API calls. Also how does unit targeting work?

@MatyBoyRocks Hey! What e-mail address was it sent to? Can't seem to find it.

@StianBa hello sir a very skilled and trusted member of our community has sent you an email proposal if you could please take the time to read it i think he wants to help you with nations thank you Mercia.

@Drusketh Hello! This is absolutely fine! In fact, you can use a public API endpoint to make your life a bit easier: api.nationsgame.net/game/getAllian… (you can paginate using ?from=20 etc)

@StianBa I know that you previously granted Shag the permission to do this, so I was told by Duke to ask you for that permission as well. The Game Mods did not seem to have any problem with the idea and told me to ask you.

@StianBa For Nations archival purposes, would you grant me the permission to run a clientside script that stores a list of all alliances in the game, their ranks, gp, etc? This would be run by anyone that you trust to run the script.

@DucklesMc I agree. Ducks are great.

@StianBa It seems its only working again for most. Any did you think about adding ducks? I think its just what Nations needs

@StianBa The Nations servers are down help

@NKatz19 I deleted some feed entries that always seem to slow things down. Hopefully it speeds up after that.

@StianBa sorry but we Need your help mate Nations game is getting laggy and last night some people could not log on to play and the pictures and backgrounds are broken again thanks again Mercia

We’re stoked to see all seats filled at yesterday’s meet-up at Sanity HQ. 🎉 Especially thankful that @amedia_no (Renate), @StianBa, @wilhelmja and our own @rexxars talked about their own projects on Sanity. 🙇‍♂️
