The Nerdfighteria Dream: Get the Vlogbrothers on board

[Cyril Lunt]

Over the past few months, there has been a movement amongst some Nerdfighters to make the nation of Nerdfighteria on an island (for the most part, we've been looking at Mouton Island, an island off the coast of Nova Scotia). It has a rather strong following on the ning, but we want more: we want the vlogbrothers to make it an official Nerdfighter project. And I know how.

In one of John's recent videos (found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_hF4whnBt4), he states that we can ask him what we want to see happen. Well, this is what we're asking: We want the vlogbrothers to work with the Nerdfighteria Island movement to get the ball rolling for the Nation of Nerdfighteria to exist.

It's no more colder than Mass. or even northern Pennsylvania. Infact, it's warmer than Maine and New Brunswick.

It can't be that cold all year, just look at these photos:

it's not actually that cold, we just run the risk of getting hit by stay hurricanes.

Wow.

Nicely done Senator Lunt!

We need people involved to get the Nerdfighter icons on board.

Get a floating island.

This is an awesome idea and i would love to see it come to life so my vote is YES to the island. Nova Scotia is my favorite place with an extremely misleading spelling for the pronunciation.

Oh my, just looking at this made my day.
I really hope this happens!
:D

The island is about 1,000 acres large, and already has like four to seven buildings. It could support a small population if we plan it well.

Yes, we intend this to be a full fledged nation: government, et al. No, we don't intend this to happen within the next five to ten years. Of course teenagers or young adults aren't going to be able to make a nation by themselves, but no one within this project wants to just up and move at the time being: we're still in high school or college, for the most part.

I hope that answers your question.

OK, so I think we have established that this is a wonderful, not completly whimish (totaly not a word but nerdfighter wasn't a word so....yeah) idea I believe it is time to move on to phase 2: getting the Vlogbrothers on board.

How do you propose we do that? It seems easy but im phresh out of ideas. Please reply so we can brainstorm.
I look forward to the development of this conversation.

P.S. That is one made of awesome avatar pic cyril

So i just looked at the entire Problems thing and i found it interesting how some people were like "this will never work" and every freaking time you came up with a good response that made sense and reasonambly said YES THIS WILL WORK and that's pretty cool. so maybe its not time to get the Vlogbrothers on board just yet (or maybe it is, i dont know) but i still think that that is phase 2 so whatch out for that.

Bump for the realisation of ideas.

UCF, my local college campus, is on the order of 1000 Acres, which is about the size of Moutton Island. It would be perfect and at $1000000 seems really cheap. I agree that a cheaper option is tempting, but 40 acres is really small.
