So I am taking today to celebrate and reflect on where I have been so far. When I first started this game on my first day I received a recruiting message from ElBruc inviting me to join the GPA and since I knew next to nothing at that stage I thought it would be a good idea to join a neutral alliance at first and find my feet with the basics before moving on to the more complex stuff like war. This worked out quite well and I met many good people like Kirstin Marie and SWK who helped me learn all that I needed to know. But this era was brought to an end by the events of the Valid de impala term as pres of the GPA and the resulting vote of no confidence. And I saw the direction the wind was going and left the GPA to gain first hand combat experience in a warrior alliance since I knew that I would need these skills now and in the future. So I selected the largest non-raider alliance I could find with a good record and applied, This was the NPO. Life there was good, there was plenty of tech deals to be done and trades were easy to find and at the time they were happy to rebuild me as I perfected my combat skills in the numerous brush-fire wars of the continuum era. But this era came to an end with the karma war, when my nation was utterly destroyed and I was forced to reroll and leave the NPO, A move I regret, but it was better for all concerned if you did not have to rebuild me during that war when there were other nations that were still able to be saved, so it had to be for the greater good. This also spelled the effective end of my participation in CNRP since I had a well developed story at that point and the radio silence of the war combined with the re-roll meant that I was removed from the game and I did not feel like totally beginning again from scratch. I liked my old RP nation too much and I could not stop wanting to play that even though the rules forbade it. So I gathered my new nation and went to Polaris and joined up there and worked for a while in there tech corps and diplomatic service as well as tackling the occasional ghost that was in my strength range. Life there was good as well, but ultimately I fell prey to boredom and deleted my nation and took a couple of months off to play other games. But eventually I came back. And I decided that it was time to return to the first home I had ever known and fight for a cause that I could believe in, namely the right to sit back and mind my own business and eat popcorn during the alliance wars. I have had my share of alliance wars now and all I want is a quiet quasi retirement where I can hopefully pass on a few skills to the newer players and leap upon any newbie tech raider/rogue that has the grave misfortune of meeting me in battle. Now it is the time for the traditional shout outs. Margrave: I still have your shoes from long ago and they are being worshiped by my people as a holy relic. ElBruc: You probably can't see this but good luck out there wherever you are. Tailsk: I loved your avatar. Ivan Moldavi: You were the finest emperor I had known and it was a pleasure to serve under you. Moo: You did a good job and were a worthy leader. Almighty Grub: Your understanding and help were greatly appreciated. Electron Sponge: Mr Wonderful All GPAers Past & Present: You are great people. To the NPO: It was fun while it lasted. To the NpO: You guys have incredible potential. To everybody else: I may not of loved you all, but I loved as many of you as I could. So I love/hate (I am not sure about this bit) you all and I look forward to another 1337 days with a 1337 group. And I wonder where I will end up when I make my next 1337 announcement in another 1337 days. EDIT - Mods: Please do not move this thread as it is totally OOC & I am forbidden to post in the IC sections of the forums due to alliance rules. Edited January 8, 2011 by Prime minister Johns Quote
