gtamann123 2,384 Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) @gtamann If you don't mind visiting the site again, see if this (http://www.wikihow.com/Block-Ads-(Unwanted-Pop-Ups)-in-Opera) fixes it. If not, the popups are probably caused by something already on your computer. Even then, I really doubt such an acclaimed online game has intrusive popup ads like that. If you have half-an-hour or so free, try scanning with MalwareBytes (https://www.malwarebytes.org/) to remove whatever's causing it. McAfee isn't exactly the best for catching stuff, and the only reason it's pre-installed on your computer is because the manufacturer was payed to put it there. And if you prefer using Mcafee, MalwareBytes is easy enough to remove when you're done. I will look further into it but as I said the issue hasn't returned since I stopped visiting NationStates.

Coin 19,464 Posted October 4, 2014 Who are "The Black Riders" and how and why have those wankers taken over the region? Judging from the activity, a whole group of people came over from Nugut, voted this guy as a delegate member and too it from Chap Islands, then he went and removed a whole bunch of stuff.

Raavi 22,314 Posted October 4, 2014 Cheers. Judging by the names of these regions and their message boards "The Black Riders" are NationStates' equivalent of trolls. Wankers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coin 19,464 Posted October 4, 2014 Cheers. Judging by the names of these regions and their message boards "The Black Riders" are NationStates' equivalent of trolls. Wankers. If someone (say you) gets enough endorsements to be delegate, we should be able to wrest control back, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raavi 22,314 Posted October 4, 2014 Yup. But then we need at least 4 more endorsements for "The Chap Islands" (he has the most WA endorsements ATM). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coin 19,464 Posted October 4, 2014 Yup. But then we need at least 4 more endorsements for "The Chap Islands" (he has the most WA endorsements ATM). Well, I've gone and applied to join the WA myself, so if a couple of other people do that we should be fine then (depending on how long that process takes). Corannis stands read.

AlienTwo 30,257 Posted October 4, 2014 Okay... i can;t see how to nominate a delegate. I've joined the WA in an effort to free our people from the evil Black Riders, but now I don't know where to click. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've joined the WA in an effort to free our people from the evil Black Riders, but now I don't know where to click. Go to the nation's page, and you should see a button that says 'Endorse' if you're both WA delegates. Click that. I've just rejoined WA, so now I gotta wait for the email. Who do we all intend to endorse? Edited October 4, 2014 by ShootPeopleNotDope Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
El Dildo 14,396 Posted October 4, 2014 Who are "The Black Riders" and how and why have those wankers taken over the region? yeah I've basically stopped playing my nation after that happened. f*ckin' lamers. lemme know if GTAF takes back control, maybe I'll start again. but I haven't touched my nation in weeks.

mareepx 2,368 Posted October 4, 2014 Who are "The Black Riders" and how and why have those wankers taken over the region? According to my research, they're an infamous group of raiders/trolls who take over regions and mess them up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raavi 22,314 Posted October 4, 2014 Chap Islands is WA delegate again, now he only needs to come online, kick out those trolls, stop construction of an embassy in "The Black Riders" and put a password on the region to guard the region from future wanker attempts.

Sugar Free Nos 7,246 Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Applying to join the WA now, I was putting it off for as long as possible, but it seems my hand has been forced. Let's send these cheeky fkin cnts back where they came from and build a large fence to keep them out. Who controls Chap Islands, and is this BS over already Raavi?

Raavi 22,314 Posted October 4, 2014 Yes it is. However Chap islands as WA delegate might not've been the best choice considering his nation isn't particularly active. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sugar Free Nos 7,246 Posted October 4, 2014 Yes it is. However Chap islands as WA delegate might not've been the best choice considering his nation isn't particularly active. Can we somehow elect you? I'm WA and I've endorsed you now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raavi 22,314 Posted October 4, 2014 You can elect anybody you like, you can endorse/withdraw endorsements whenever you like.. It's popular vote. Most WA endorsements = Delegate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
