993 days as of today. I'll be 1000 in a week or so.
CN from a footsoldier's point of view:
* I remember being attacked by ODN during GWI for some odd reason. That was my first war, though it only lasted a few days.
* For a few months Sapin remained independent. It was possible to do that back then, because tech raiders actually had some standards and usually preyed on inactives. The tech raiders of today are mostly scum with no class. Some aren't though, it depends.
* In order to keep trade partners loyal (furs was a horrible resource in the old days), I promised $10,000 if I ever canceled a trade without warning. The news actually made it onto the front page of the wiki for a week.
* My first alliance was CIS, because their recruiting message had the least typos. Oh god, if only I had known beforehand what the CIS was like.
* GWII and GWIII were both fun to fight in. I remember one guy from MCB who was totally cool to talk to. I don't think he's around anymore though. ;_;
* Sometime in between the great wars I was accidentally attacked by IAA for some inane reason. lol
* Finally fed up with all the incompetence and BS, I left the CIS shortly after GWIII.
* I migrated to TOP, where I remain to this day. I truly couldn't ask for a better home in CN.
* The GPA and NpO wars were a breeze. I kind of wish they had put up a bit more resistance. It would have been more fun.
* For now, I light a cigarette and lean against the wall of my trench. Another war will come, it will be fun and I will continue to be useful. That's about it.
