I felt pretty darn betrayed when I read that NPO was plotting to attack the Legion after the war. But I put on my big boy pants and got over it, forgave NPO, and wanted to be friends again one day. wat

Hahaha. Oh, just you wait, Mr. Wonderful.

Thanks. I'll post it in a day or two. It's significantly shorter and punchier.

Last Sunday was my nation’s three-year anniversary. Three years is a long time to do any one thing. In the three years I’ve been here, I’ve learned a lot, seen a lot, and done a lot. I wasn’t planning for long to write anything for that day, since in many ways it is just another day (hell, I didn’t even get a happiness bonus as thanks from Admin for sticking it out this long), but I find myself beginning to struggle to recall some earlier details, and figured the best way to motivate myself to finally get down on paper my long and sometimes controversial history was to do something regarding my anniversary. I began writing the story of my history here in CN with the intent to post it the night of my anniversary, but soon realized that a task like that takes planning and preparation, and I had a lot more to say than I originally thought. Instead what I’m doing is a bit different. I still want to share, but more than that I want to write down the events from my past here because I want to have a record of them before the memories fade away. I’m not known for brevity, and I decided I’d have fun with this and tell stories rather than just create a historical overview. In those stories there is more than just my history, but also a great deal of history from The Legion, where I spent almost two years. Because a number of the events of my past are still confidential and their revelation could get some good people in bad trouble, this cannot be a tell-all, but it is a tell-lots, especially in the early stories. WARNING: These are long, and I make no apologies for that. This was a big intro-/retrospective writing piece for me, and for the sake of readers and so I can fit it into posts, I decided I’d release pieces at a time, making several of these in episodic form. Thanks for reading the first installment. I invite you to continue the adventure in Episode II - Ascent to Cabinet and The Third Great War (for what it's worth, the GW3 story has a bit more action to it if you felt that was lacking in these stories).
