OOC: 2 years of NS

Well, today (the 2nd) is my 2 year anniversary here at NS.

I first came in during the n00brush of 2003, and I have to admit that I was probably the worst. Declared war on the entire world within my first week. Of course, that was before Ignoring was the name of the game and new players got little attention from the older nations.

Operation: Righteous Smackdown caused two rival factions to join forces to beat me into the ground, and Melkor nuked me. For the first time.

Pretty soon I became involved in the Midnight/Anti-Ragnarok wars, then went on to become one of the five founding members of the first NATO, along with Hiraki, Celack, Ruhr and Derieties. Those were goood times, back in august of 2003.

That alliance eventually fell to shit and I went off to join APTO. I was involved in several large incidents during my time there.

Eventually, AMF, an old ally, got the idea to brinig back NATO. As I and Celack were the only original creators left, we worked with AMF to get the alliance back up and running. Then APTO started to fall apart, so I split off and formed my own region. Currently, I'm the only one there, because I haven't yet started the search for nations to join.

And now here I am. With a 2 year old nation.

I have done a lot of RPs in my time here, and I'd have to say that the best were with Steel Butterfly (RotR was awesome) and Rave Shentavo (Shentavo Academy year 1 was lots of fun).

I've seen alot of nations come through and get beaten down, from MagicChina to Fascist White States. I've had tons of alliances and friendships here in the game, some are even still around.

I know that my name is not as easily recognized by the younger nations as AMF, Melkor, Menelmecar or so many others are, but I plan on changing that.

Now I shall see what the next year holds in store for me and my nation.

OOC:2 years! Awesome. I've had this nation from last august, but i started my first nation in 2003 or something. I ended up having a war and losing it. Then i lost interest with NS and after few months came back with another one :)

Congrats!

I certianly have fond memories of mid to late 2003, though I was about as well known as a fluffy sock back then, and now I KNOW no one remembers my old nation (The Armed Republic of Telcordia). Though I did have sparse interactions with you... though very rarely, but I remember you being a great guy ^_^ Again congrats and lets hope your around to celebrate another two years.

Rawr... two years...

Man, we should get another hobby... to think of the amount of productive things I could have done instead of posting in Nationstates, but then I realised; I probably would have spent the time playing computer games instead. So meh, the way I figure it it's better for my typing this way at least...

Well done, seeya around next year.

Stick around - we need old farts like you to keep things interesting, what with waving your cane and telling us yunguns to get off the lawn.

I can't believe you got from declaring war on the whole world to this. Heck, I can't believe you declared war on the whole world at all. Wow. Kudos.

Congratulations and all that jazz, but tell me more about Operation Righteous Smackdown, it sounds awfully interesting.

I still chuckle when I hear Macabees saying how he he loved to shoot down 30,000 men of yours in unprotected C-130's from Scotland to Spain.

It was 15,000 and I still am looking for vengeance on that one.

More on Op:RS can be found here http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Operation_Righteous_Smackdown

That really sums it up. I think that it was quite possibly the shortest serious war in NS history.
