Alfred von Tirpitz Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Hello. Intoxicated and irritated so formatting is out of whack. The nation of K252strin is 1002 days old today. What started out as a "mhmm, what's this then, look like a semi interesting link in the right column of this website here" ended up consuming 1000 days already. The journey has been a mixed bag, with a massive on realising that CN cant umlaut to begin with. Started off in TGE with another nation and promptly re-rolled to take 800K cash as part of the germanization program. TGE you still owe me that cash. Keep it, unless you wish to pay it back with interest, a 50 tech would do nicely. Hmm, what happened next? Two weeks into the new nation, oh look, lumber and wheat, hey look TGE has a graphics subforum, maybe i can do some stuff there. Hey, elections!!!! Meh, some folks won.. what's that? Electoral malpractices? Lets ask a few questions. Uh oh.. ZI sentence. XD Good friend Franz Ferdinand of L252beck [yeah , no umlauts allowed, eat that!!!] and self along with a Polish dude Lech Walessa ponder creation of alliance called Lux Aeterna. Trying to get protectorate from IRON... hmm.. face interview with MCRABT, realize self not ready to lead a sheep to the meadow never-mind an alliance. Franz ends up in Ragnarok, self in hippy mode, Lech undergoing ZI sad, very sad days. Talk to Franz on msn, apply to RoK, get PM from TGE all is forgiven, realize Hoo saved the bacon. Holy crap Ragnarok forums are huge! Oh look thousands of threads in the graphics section.. "momma i'mm coming home!" Make some art, also finally find out there is something called back collecting. Also something called ghosts, and that ghosts are fun. Spend months playing with ghosts, finally get ass chewed out by TJBooth and mykep to stop mucking about and to start growing. Hmm, Ok, lets buy some infra. Hehehe, Illuminati II. woops, infra go buhbye. Goodie, more ghost busting. Oh look NEO.. Elections, Franz wins Lord of Recruitment, picks me to be deputy.. ugh.. OK, pfft.. will just keep recruiting as usual. Oh Noes, Franz stepped down!!! Quick find another Lord or you will get promoted... hmmmm. here is Iangator.. make him the lord. whew, close call. Feel tap on shoulder, its the Hoo man, damnit, made into Lord of Intel. :s 4 terms at the job. Thats 8 months. :s NoCB comes and goes, impressed by some Vidians in war, and by them all in terms of outlook on Planet Bob. Dissapointed by a whole lot of folks as the war progresses. Not a good time to put trust in people's words. Oh Look OcUK infiltrators, hunt them. bleh, hes a good gov member does not have much info anyways, let him continue.. o.0 OK Hoo, you know best. Job has good bits as well, meet more people, Xiphosis, NoFish, ENI, Delta, Trace, Pyroman, AnuDrake, KaitlinK, Mila, Zilla, Cable, JoshuaJames, Mia, Darkmistress, Srgt, JuJu, whole lot of notable worthies. Also meet and make friends with a new guy, SpiderJ, talk to him often one days confide in him unfulfilled wish to go rogue on Kurushio .... ROFL. That was awesome though. Hmm, Hoo retired, damnit! A triumvir system, nice! ChairmanHal at the top w00t! If hes as good at this as he was at teaching me war, we are set! AWESOME! treaty with Polaris! There was dancing in the streets of K252strin followed by many nights of debauchery. Also a load off the soul from the days gone by. Oh hey, this guy Penguin is interesting to talk to. Hal stepped down, info available dont make much sense seeing as how its sort of not like him to make threats of a disloyal nature. Damnit! . .some more stuff went down . Hory clap!! Became triumvir. Hmm these OV dudes are cool, maybe we sign a treaty witht hem, MDP, yeah? Yeah announce it tomorrow. What's this, OV and mhawk and moo and Archon and hory clap!!! Noway, lets announce the OV treaty today!!! Oh look! some shots fired. We are gonna die! Gremlins are undecided, damn that chill dude. meh, lets go in anyways. SF is ready and primed, and the boys are hungry for a fight. Here comes Legion ... hello boys, been a long time coming, eh? Oh look there are Finster and his boys. Good Fighting all round, boys delirious with bloodlust, happy Rokkers all! Uh Oh fight in private channel over stealing warslots. Great view seeing Fark go to work. War drags on, Rokkers enjoy it everyday, dreading the day peace is made and tax collections become the high point of the day. Hmm wot's this about TOP butting in? Dangit, get out of our war! Maybe let Pacifica go and focus all on IRON instead, hell with Karma, bunch of moralist sycophants anyways. Advise pouring in to not go ballistic... drat! IRON out of the war, Legion out. Goodie Goodie, low level nukage from former high NS Pacificans! Saxasm! Daedric Banrae is one crazy sum!@#$%*. Still the proudest time for me seeing the lads so eager for carnage. Inhouse contests for most nukes eaten, till date dont know who won, i think it was me! War over, damnit! Tears of boredom. GenLee goes rogue on TOP..atleast hes made his fun on his way out. Humdrum existence, got Cable active again, hes good at this Lord of War thing. Another RoK anniversary, Make a post on owf. Hoo returns. Retire from government, high time. Go fight with \m/ in the war against NpO Back to RoK to fight against NEW, great fight! War over, on verge of deletion, maybe i need to travel a bit, see more of the world. lets go to Polaris... no wait lets talk to people a bit, to decide where to go.. Hmm, GPA? Cant post in IC areas... sorry. FOK! cant speak dutch. GOD? More of the same SF crowd, love em but have had enough of it, need change damnit! OK so Polaris it is. D34th/Dajobo/Penguin/JP here i come! Since then, been puttering about. Observing folks and their words/actions. Getting more and more depressed and turned off. Thankfully, the RoK and Polar communities are still awesome as ever, and event he honorary \m/ember mask makes for some interesting threads to partake of and participate in. Hope to last another year or so, but no promises you Nation Rulers you. Quote
Hiro Nakara Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Congratulations on lasting this long AvT. You have an interesting history and I mostly always love reading your posts. Hope so see you around for longer. Quote
Acca Dacca Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Your ass was nice to chew on. There are some people I truly enjoyed watching become active in the community. Watching you become more than that was great. Keep going for another year, it makes this game worth my time. Quote
Salmia Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 *scratches her head* I am older than you? I always for some reason thought you were one of the 2006-2007 players. Congratulations... or is it really considering how long we've been in this game? Anyhow, great to see you still around! Quote
Poyplemonkeys Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 You told SpiderJ that you'd always wanted to go rogue on Kuru without realising who SpiderJ was? That is sublime I've never spoken to you, but always admired your posting from afar, stick around some Quote
D34th Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Congrats AvT, is a great pleasure have a nice and skilled person like you in Polaris, to more 1002 days! Quote
Jon the Warlord Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Congratz man, glad you've made it this far with us. I'm just slightly older then you, but I remember all those conflicts, just from the R&R, not RoK. But we tended to roll together, hey? Quote
Cataduanes Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Another hopelessly addicted fool , congratz Tirpitz Quote
Raffaello Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 Congrats my friend, keep chugging along. Quote
Schattenmann Posted January 14, 2011 Report Posted January 14, 2011 AvT I'm almost certain we discussed your applying to CoJ Happy 1002! [quote name='Poyplemonkeys' timestamp='1295009988' post='2575005'] You told SpiderJ that you'd always wanted to go rogue on Kuru without realising who SpiderJ was? That is sublime I've never spoken to you, but always admired your posting from afar, stick around some [/quote] I never spoke to Spider like that, but Kuru and I spent weeks at each others' throats and then later I had no clue that they were one in the same.

[/quote] Aye, we did, I did not mention all the alliances I pondered. There are quiet a few good ones out there. You got someone better than me though, risho. Thanks, guys, for the kind words.

Other than your choice of alliances, I've never had a bad thing to say or think about you. Happy 1000! Quote
Thorgrum Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 You're one of the best people around Al, period. What you need is a red dead redemption sequel to refresh your inner outlaw. Quote
Chief Savage Man Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 Alfred von Tirpitz New Polar Order member Honorary \m/ member Yeah, you're pretty much unique in that regard. Quote
Emperor Whimsical Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 I always liked you. You'd be welcome in GOD any time. Good luck on your journey. Quote
Groucho Marx Posted January 15, 2011 Report Posted January 15, 2011 [quote name='Chief Savage Man' timestamp='1295051883' post='2575539'] Alfred von Tirpitz New Polar Order member Honorary \m/ member Yeah, you're pretty much unique in that regard. [/quote] Very true. I'd say "Here's to another 1002 days!" but I think we'd both agree that would just be stupid. So instead, congratulations on accomplishing so much and having fun in this game on your own terms and I hope it continues. Quote
