Botha Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 RP HISTORY: Next Friday, January 15th marks the two year anniversary when, at one minute after one o'clock in the afternoon, Transvaal innocuously proclaimed the first documented RP land claim in The Scramble for Africa. Although completely unintended by Transvaal, in the following days and weeks this soon launched scrambles across all continents on Planet Bob before The First Map of the World was drawn up by welshgazza1992 on April 4, 2007. So in light of this profound anniversary in CNRP, I, Botha, now apologise to Planet Bob for giving birth to such a monster in the first place.

Lavo Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Look how small Rebel Army was back then! Actually, I had claims on more land then. The Asia and SA threads hadn't been accounted for yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtleknifewielder Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Actually, I had claims on more land then. The Asia and SA threads hadn't been accounted for yet. That would make a bit of a difference... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subtleknifewielder Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I was actually at my biggest back then. Wait, I thought your current claims extended a little further south than the ones listed on that map...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavo Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Wait, I thought your current claims extended a little further south than the ones listed on that map...? Nope. Wait actually you're right, I wasn't at my biggest then. My biggest was right after the Persian war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vedran Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Huh. I'm not on that map. That is probably because I made a claim around March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uberstein Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 That statement makes me feel very old :/ I remember CNRP when it was just me and Slavorussia pretty much. I was one of the first to do the news thread CNRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botha Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) I remember CNRP when it was just me and Slavorussia pretty much. Yeah I recall that pretty much. When I got into CNRP three years ago it was pretty much you, Justinian, Nelson Mandela (who I believe still is here rerolled under a new name), Ninara ( =Velka?), and Kashlinkov (also rerolled). I think Martens and Mudd were RPing at this time or started soon afterwards. Soon after I started, Hendrik von Kruger (Boer Staat) started RPing. There were some others who didn't RP on the forums but had pretty established RP for their nations on the CN Wikia, J Andres comes foremost to mind in this regards. Actually, if it wasn't for Nelson Mandela's entertaining RP stories combined with his lulz in-game behavior as a rogue, I probably would not have rerolled as Botha to provide a suitable foil opponent for him.

The FSM Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yeah I got involved shortly after that when the Euro scramble started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberstein Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Euro-scramble was fun, and we had so many people changing that I made at least 3 of those "Where are you" threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You re-rolled at some point? Hmm...ya learn somethin' new every day. As for the scramble threads, I remember I had trouble at first, because there never was any Australia/Oceania thread--I had to do it in the big, WORLD thread.
