RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

What should be?
All technologies and construction go slower? Or that each nation has specialties that make research go faster?

Re: Official Nation Game Topic
Deathumania begins researching Ash Grenades - 40%
Deathumania begins researching Grenade Launchers - 20%
Deathumania begins researching Lighting Power Plants - 15%
Deathumania begins researching Toxin Extractor - 25%
Deathumania begins researching Land Mines - 37%
Deathumania begins researching Coastal Batteries - 15%
Deathumania begins training Scouts of the Grove - 10%
Now before you guys can say "OMFG powerbuilding!!", notice how everything isn't going up by massive amounts of percentage. I'm trying to keep it balanced by how difficult it might be to research, and how retardedly slow my scientists are

Re: Official Nation Game Topic
Land of Innernet,
Deathumania would like to invest in your Erotic Dancing research, as we wish to purchase some of your dancers to put in Deinen, for we know that it would increase trade possibilities with other nations, increase the city's happiness, and attract further investors and tourists from around the world. Please consider this, as it will increase your Erotic Dancing research by 25%.

That the more things you try and research/construct, the slower each of them go, unless given top priority (in which case the ones that are top priority would go faster, but the others would go even slower.
CSSR:
Wind power research: 20%
Nuclear submarine research: 15%

I accept this offer, but I must wait for Comrade Swift to reply, for I have neither the authority to open the trade route nor the knowledge of what materials we have.

Re: Official Nation Game Topic
Construction
No construction in progress
MILITARY ACADEMY COMPLETELY FOCUSED ON
Deathumania begins training Scouts of the Grove - 65%
Therefore the rest of training are left to eat the rest of the leftover hot pockets until above training is done.
Deathumania begins training Shadow Riders - 0.5%
Deathumania begins training Dusk Stalkers - 0%
RESEARCH ENTIRELY FOCUSED ON
Deathumania begins researching Lighting Power Plants - 35% (was 22%)
Due to a scientist getting killed by a lightning bolt recently, his body was taken and studied, and scientists have found out how the particles reacted to the electricity, and added that to their test build, increasing the percentage researched by 2%
Therefore these researches stop almost completely
Deathumania begins researching Ash Grenades - 52% (was 50%)
Deathumania begins researching Grenade Launchers - 31% (was 30%)
Deathumania begins researching Toxin Extractor - 36% (was 34%)
Deathumania begins researching Land Mines - 50% (was 48%)
Deathumania begins researching Coastal Batteries - 21% (was 20%)
