Ok, since this is such a special post, I ran this through spell checker (don’t get used to it) :p. Ok, so I may be doing this a few weeks early, but I can't wait. It's only 1/2 of a month untill the 6 month mark (November 15th).

6 months of NS......wow, I still feel like a newbie.

Well, I’m a may nation. May 15th to be exact. I NEVER thought that my nation would be around this long (and I have a feeling that some other nations thought the same thing, or WISH I hadn’t :p). Well, my 1st post was me trying to put together an "Alliance of Smaller Nations", or the ASN. I don’t remember my early RP’s, probably because I was involved in one conflict after another. I usually won, that is, until I got involved in the Elarian civil war, on the side of the rebels. BIG mistake. It ended up being my 1st major defeat. I dropped out of wars for a while after that. Except for the Rukemian wars (my best war). Well, by now it was mid June My n00b days. *shudders* Well, I decided to jump into space. It began innocently enough. A ship here, a ship there..... Well, I decided to move to the Pleiades Cluster. By using city domes to transport my cities. Well, needless to say, I ended up ignoring the idea myself. Then came the Marathon days. Marathon had a tendency to stalk me. For a week, he flamed me wherever I went. He even made a flame thread about me. *Thanks God that he is gone* By this point, the ASN was in disarray. Only a handful of us where still playing. So, the remaining members voted themselves into oblivion. We still have alliances with each other, but not THE ASN. Well, with few allies, I joined the APTO, where I mended my relations with Elara. I also made it into the Pleiades Cluster. W00t! I made RP’s during this time (July and August), but few joined, until I joined the APTO. I have now left Earth completely, and am a happy member of APTO.

Now onto my thank you list.

Novus de Italia: my oldest and most loyal ally. I wish you luck in future exploits. I wish that you still played NS, but I respect your wishes.

Elara: although we met as enemies, you have proven to be as much, if not more, of an ally then Italia.

New Genoa: You gave me a home. ‘nuff said. Thank you.

The other members of the APTO: you made me feel welcome. Thank you.

The Damned Peoples: Well, what can I say about you? Well, you where kind to me when everyone else was proclaiming "GODMOD!" at my back in June.

The Slaglands: We still need to finish our Cola Wars :D

Zoir: You helped me add much to the history of my nation, and we had some good RP’s along the way

Rukemia: I applaud you for being cannon fodder for me :p. It was an excellent set of wars.

Danya: You where also kind to me during those harsh times in June.

New Russia: Same as TDP and Danya. Thank you.

Night Elves: If you still exist, thank you for introducing me to this wonderful game

Monkey States and Never Setting Sun: We are the only surviving members of the ASN. We made it this far, it’s all down hill from here.

I think I got everyone. And I wish everyone like Melkor and Marathon would all go and jump off the side of a cliff. Well, More RP’s are coming soon. And I can’t wait until NS2 comes out. Well, only ½ of a month until that 6 month mark. Looking forward to it.

From a fellow May nation...very nice, and congratulations on not giving up on NS like so many of our compatriots.

This has been an OOC post.

I've never RP'd with you, though I've seen some of your stuff. I wish that you'd spell check more often. :wink:

I want to RP with you though. TM me if you start one.

Vrak: lol, no Japanese things. Besides, I've revamped my fleet. No greek temples. You will still see a piramid here and there, but.....

Tiburon: no, I didn't forget you, I just didn't know how to spell your name, and there are some things spell check can't help me with :wink:

Damn! Who else is going to build flying buildings??

I like the renderings that someone did quite some time ago of your buildings. You really can't see a flying Torii of Itsukushima (horizontal mind you) looking like a kick-ass destroyer or frigate? Maybe even a blockade runner with the six bottom posts resembling engines? Ah well.

YOU will have to plan something big, not me. I just plan to have a nice "birthday cake" with six months in icing on it and stuff. :P
