Australian Story

Firstly, who is Rextu? This is what my first blog entry is going to be all about. It will be in some ways, a shortened biography of my Cyber Nations life, which is why I have titled it Australian Story--the only decent biography program on television that I know about.
I have been in this game since a week after Great War II finished, that is, since late January 2007. I have never re-rolled and since mid 2008, I have been a member of the Multicolored Cross-X Alliance. During that time my interest in the game has varied, or been weakened due to playing other text-based RPGs such asLunar Wars where I came to know some iconic figures in Cyber Nations--the most iconic of which probably being Chefjoe. Nonetheless, I'm no stranger to MCXA Government, having served on Gopherbashi's transitional council as Minister of Finance after the TSO exodus and organising the TSO goodwill aid and Karma War reparations. After that, I took a good long break from CN because of other things popping up in real life, only just returning now.
Coming back to CN, I can see not much has happened. (Insert lawl). I expected to come back to find myself banned on the MCXA forums for being away for so long and returning to an alien world on the OWF. Instead, I was welcomed with open arms by familiar faces in MCXA government. I am proud to say that the MCXA soldiers who I once saw as newbies (except for Neural Link, you ain't no newbie in my eyes 
) are now serving as Chancellors and doing a job that I am nothing less than impressed with. In the first week back reading the OWF, I saw no war, fewer DoEs and THE DARK LORDS. Oh, and an annoucement from an alliance that I thought was long gone-- "stupid slashes M" (Trotsky's Revenge, CN Talkshow 2009).
But something else has changed. Blocs these days aren't what they used to be, in terms of Continuum-style one-sidedness in MADP strength. Alright, I haven't done much research into the new blocs since I've been back, so point and laugh if you must, but I think we all agree CN politics might just be that little bit more interesting these days. Even if every thread on the OWF is filled with four bajillion single-sentence posts from bored MK members. Eh, that was the same before I left anyway. 
But before I forget, has the Maroon sphere become united through the Chestnut Accords? Bet you would not have seen that coming in 2006
So that wraps up my first blog entry. Hopefully now you know me just that little bit more so if you see me make a post somewhere on the forums, you can say "hey, I read that guy's blog!" If you ever want to have a chat on IRC, I'm ususally in #MCXA. But until another day...
Sayonara.
