AMF breaks 2 billion (OOC: Automagfreek retires)

All the top leaders of AMF had been at the Great Hall all afternoon. Lord Dreadfire had been beeming, for the reports all indicated that soon Automagfreek would have over 2 billion citizens. 2 billion.. Damien kept thinking to himself. Long gone are the days when the Hoardsmen numbered in the thousands. To think that I would be here to witness this moment.
Minister Hartman, John Kimble, Samuel Jackson and the likes all sat around in casual discussion, the occassional laugh penetrating the calm atmosphere. So what are your thoughts Damien? Hartman shouted over to the Warlord. Damien ran his hand across his rough chin, and began nodding slowly. I agree, I think that the time has come, for it is the 8th Age of Automagfreek after all. The dignitaries all nodded and expressed their agreement.
Then let it be done then.
***
High atop the mountains of the ULE Valley, Damien stood overlooking his Empire. Though the frost covered peaks were cold and unforgiving, the Warlord cared not. It is time. This day had been long predicted, and now the scriptures hold true. Damien lowered his head and began chanting in the forgotten tounges of old. As the words spilled from his mouth, his eyes rolled back, and he lifted his mighty arms and held them at his side.
As he changed faster and faster, the sky began to darken, and the waters surrounding AMF began to stir. Dreadfire raised his arms higher and higher, and they were now perfectly outstretched at his sides. Upon saying the closing passage, he lifted his head towards the sky, and with one final motion raised his arms above his head, and sent them crashing down.
Thunder clapped, and the seas danced violently. A black cloud had covered the lands of Automagfreek, but this was no ordinary cloud. From space, the Freekish satellites could not see their homeland, but from the ground, the suns rays still shinned through. Damien had a smile across his face. The blanket of the Gods has been cast, and all the pieces are now in place. Let us remained unseen by the world now, let us steal ourselves. We must shelter ourselves from the traps that are sets for us. We must tend to ourselves now.
***
OOC: Here is the point of this thread: I am retiring from NationStates. No, this is not an empty promise nor is this a cry for attention. I've barely posted anything in awhile, and I'm sure some of you have noticed. My reason for retiring is because I've found a new addiction, SOCOM II. Now that I'm in a large clan and getting pretty good at the game, I've kinda lost my desire to RP. I won't let Automagfreek die off, I'll still check my TM's and issues every morning at work, but as for RP involvement...well, no.

IC:
(In a transmission across the world, The One stood in front of the large fireplace inside the Great Hall. The room was dark save for the wicked light of the burning fire. The One lifted his ehad, his large hat shadowing his face. He spoke for only a brief moment.
When the bell tolls 3, he shall come.

Then the camera faded, and with that so did the Excessively Armed Empire of Automagfreek.

OOC: It's been fun. If any of you are on SOCOM II, hit me up, my screen name is "Dreadfire". :twisted:
congrats, and you know you don't have to go

OOC: I won't be gone forever, but I really have no time to RP in the morning, at at night I'm playing online. Like I said I'll still keep my nation alive.

The WMNK Old Guard has been reduced to a mere few. Good luck killing them terrorists.
Isn't it strange though that we've had to wait an entire year to reach 2 bills, when other, older nations hit that mark well before their birthday? Veeeeery fishy.

OOC: Sad to see you go AMF. Have fun with SOCOM II and when you get bored of that pay us a visit for at least one good RP. :)

OOC: AMF, good to have seen you on NS all of this time. Take care with your new game addictions. I don't think I'll be able to soon forget your RP additions to the community...or your preferences for sadistic characters in more recent weeks and months.
Take care and so long.

02-03-2004, 05:21
OOC: Thanks all. You can still reach me via telegram if any of you need anything.
OOC: Just saw this.
Good days, and enjoy your new interest -- and possibly, addiction. Although it is of course bad to have another NS player to drop out, see you soon. Enjoy the game.
Bye, I havn't really RPed with you much apart from in the Melkor Wars, but it's sad to see a good RPer go.
*mutters*
He'll be back....they always come back.....
*ahem*
You'll be back....... :P
Perhaps you'll find time to come bacck later in the near future. I guess I'll have to deal with your absence in the meantime. Good luck and godspeed in all your endeavors.
And thats one less friendly face on NS......

Oh well, the best too you...and may your life outside NS be fruitful, it was an honor too RP with you, ever since our first Interaction in the CFA with Slavic Dogs, to the Trojan War.
*Salutes**
Good bye, AMF. I'll never forget you allowing me to help you crush New Spartha.
I still miss my 'world's largest uranium mine'. Ah, well.
Best of luck! We'll be seeing you around again, I'm sure. Enjoy SOCOM II, and paintball.

Just wondering, AMF, are you going to give Greece its independence back?
No, I am not looking to take it, just hoping Greece will be a free county once again.
God bless,

for leaving even though i don't know who you are, i place a curse on you! may you be rained on sometime in your life!

Yeah, it was nice putting that "incident" behind us. I'm glad I got to accomplish that.
OOC:
Hope to see you soon in the RP boards somehow, always wanted to Role Play with a Good Veteran such as yourself, or elite. :)
Got something for you, just in case you too are going through a trail in your life, even if your not. Remember this, for I wrote it and have seen its meaning many times, never forgetting the origional story of the Footprints in the Sand:
"Yet as I move Forward in Life I can't help but look back, seeing just how far that one set of Footprints really is."
May Lord God and Lord Jesus Bless you, AMF. God Be With You and Lord Jesus Walk beside you all the way, Good Friend. Amen.
AMF..sorry to see ya go..never really rped with ya but i liked what i saw. Also, check you t-grams.

Maybe eventually, but not in the forseeable future. I'm 100% for real on this.
2 billion was the goal I set for myself, and now that I'll hit it in like 3 days, I can have some closure and depart. Believe me, I'm sticking to my words when I say that I'm retiring. Maybe some day down the road when my schedule loosens up I'll come back, but like I said it won't be in the forseeable future.
