Let me begin by acknowledging the brave souls Dead I Jack, Thepeopl, Emenamai, and Pandaland MMIXX for being the only Rejects to post on the RMB on September 7th. We had over 21,000 RMB posts in 2019, but somehow just five were made on September 7th. Yy4u from The West Pacific chipped in for a sixth.
I thought it would be fun to make a few charts about RMB activity over the last year. The seven most active days on the RMB during 2019 were....
1. Halloween (360 posts by 87 posters)
Halloween, of course, was Z-Day. No day of the year had nearly as many nations post.
2. Dec 16 (333 posts by 38 posters)
December 16th was the day we had that especially annoying spammer. But it also featured discussion of chess, psychoactive drugs, furry hate, prized NS cards, and an RP started by Lerasi. A typical day on the internet.
3. Nov 26 (227 posts by 23 posters)
November 26th was a random day full of banter from Yahaba, Aandruzognivia, The Romanum Byzantium Imperium, CoS, Masayang Babae, ThePeopl, South Accren, and South Comm. Truthfully, a lot of the posts this day were utter crap.
4. Dec 3 (207 posts by 36 posters)
December 3 was the beginning of #BreadCoup. Yahaba and Aandruzognivia were also more active than usual this day.
5. Oct 30 (185 posts by 58 posters)
October 30th was Z-Day again.
6. Mar 19 (169 posts by 39 posters)
March 19 was a classic day on a NationStates RMB.

we are constrained by mysterious and unknown social laws. These are simply decisions made within
institutions that are subject to human will and that must face the test of legitimacy. And if they do not
meet the test, they can be replaced by other institutions that are more free and more just, as has
happened often in the past". --- Noam Chomsky

This was the Saman Empire's joke. Do you think they should've been banned? It's not the worst joke in the world, but I would've booted them on principle.The Saman Empire wrote:Hey guys, I got banned from Balder for a joke.
How is your day?

Thx, y'all!
May 23 was the day of the (not so) Great Sock Puppetting.
The RMB was full of players talking to themselves and it became impossible to track who was who. But that's sort of NS in a nutshell, right?

Toerana is actually a citizen, but the citizenship nation is Toerana IV.
The East Pacific was our most engaged embassy on the RMB. They especially loved us for a few days in October.
Aandruzognivia still has time to catch Yahaba for most posts made in 2019, but it'll be close.
