Descent into Bickering

Everybody's other favourite political game (after Particracy) is Cyber Nations. As is traditional for a new political game, a massive influx of NS players will soon bring down their server, though not as bad as the NS server was way back in December/January 2003 because all the short-time players will not be there.

Will a critical mass of long-time NSers bring problems? I don't think so, the issues between personalities on NS should not arise because, unlike NS, CN provides a game-mechanics way to interact. NS gave us the regional message board and essentially halted - the regions then went away and created off-site forums and regional governments (interlinked). That's why personality conflicts and factionalism are abound.

There already appears to be a pan-NS alliance forming on CN. I think this could be the beginning of the NationStates Exodus.
