I don't consider myself to be an amazing writer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not horrible, but it's not something I'm extremely good at. However, occasionally I do like to pick up the pen (metaphorically speaking of course, since my handwriting is atrocious) and write. And that's what this blog is for.
A lot of people seem to remember me, but just as many don't. That's fine. I'm here for basically a new start. I took a three year break from this game, and a lot has changed. To give an exampl
After less than a couple of weeks of TE 22 starting, some delicatessen inspired newbies (self called BLT) picked a brawl with Skaro , when we got tired of their continue raiding for techs against us ... offering peace and then not giving it...! So, even knowing they were in a superior number than us, ( 9 to 21 or more), we went to war against them...! We were able to held our own and even anarchied their leader (Recent) ... Of course, having just 6-8 active participants in the war, didn't permit

About a year and a half ago I assembled a new PC. Nothing fancy, really, but since it was my first new computer in a few years it was definitely a step up for me. Here's the core of my system then:
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 3.0GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333MHz
Drive: WD Caviar Black 500GB
GPU: Radeon HD5450
It soon became clear that I'd gone too low in terms of the GPU, so I moved up to a Radeon HD6770, which has turned out to be perfect for the few computer games I play.
And then I became annoyed by

Hello, Bonjour, Hola, Griviet, Bonjourno!
No matter what corner of Planet Bob you come from, I would just like to say hello and to introduce myself: I'm King Ben II, ruler of the Ctes du Nord, a small nation but one with a lot of heart and passion (namely football).

AKA Zero $%&@s
IRL I have a motto I live by when I'm planning on having a very good time. The motto is zero $%&@s, and it plays out that I do what I want, act a fool, and don't give a single $%&@ what people think about me.
Zero $%&@s makes the night good. It means I'm suddenly finding myself partying withe the group of girls in the bar who I'm not supposed to have a shot with simply because IDGAF. And if I have no game, that's cool because I have a ton of fun. It mean

The blogs are terribly war-filled of late. Lets do something light for a change. If you read this, you're infected and must re-blog it with 6 things of your own.
1. My CN forums signature has a different link to a different song whenever I log on here or/and when the mood changes.
2. I am not very good at war. But shh!
3. I really miss Ronin.
4. I am currently 780 minutes of work away from a month off work!
5. I only dislike one person in CN. The rest are okay, awesome or I don't know yet.

So, I give this speech every war, and I will give it again, because its really become a pet peeve of mine.
Lets start with IC-OOC.
World Affairs and Alliance Announcements are in character. That means, of course, that as you post there, you are expected to post as the leader of your nation within the game.
Why is this important? Well, to me it seems simple. We allow, in this IC forum, people to spew nonsense about a classy war declaration, or an honorable war declaration, or that any particu
Stuck in a doctor's office earlier today, I happened upon an article about what Canadians think of themselves and just how well those opinions match up to reality. I took notes.
And so, without further ado, here are some factoids that will hopefully dispel a myth or two, if not among outsiders than at least with ourselves. Sources (according to the article) are noted.
Canadians Can't Get Enough Hockey
