Retirement from NS; Territory Beneficiary Named
Credonia
19-09-2005, 15:12
Friends, allies, and foes alike, it is with deep regret and much sorrow that I must announce my final departure from NationStates. In a way, you can say that it was inevetable, though I have tried tirelessly to prolongue that from happening. The time that I used to have devoted primarily to NS has been taken over by my extended responsibilities in the Navy DEP Program as the new DEP Cdr, by college life, which isnt so bad, and by other things beyond my control.
Its hard to believe that two years or so ago I started on NS as a small nation with big plans, big ideals, and a big ego. The product of that can be seen in the current status of Credonia today. Credonia is a pinnacle of the ideals established by the democratic system: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Credonia is the original father of the NS War on Terror, which took the centerfold of NS-II attention just a couple years ago. Credonia led that fight against terrorism and won, with astonishing victory after victory. To this day, Credonia's success and power can be seen in the fact that the nation has never once been invaded by foreign nations, big or small. Very few nations of Credonia's size can honestly say that they have gone on for years without being invaded once.
To Credonia's loyal friends and allies, thank you for always being there to back Credonia up and provide assistance in every conflict Credonia has entered into. I appreciate that and its one thing that I shall remember long after I leave NS. To my loyalist of loyal allies, the nation of Independent Hitmen, we have come a long way. We have suffered through many struggles, have seen many changes, have fought many wars, and we have not once lost a conflict that we have both been involved with. A lot of what Credonia did could not have been accomplished if it werent for your support and in some cases, guidance over the years. For that, I am greatly indebted. To show appreciation of your unwaivering support, I am formally giving control of the protectorate nation of Somalia over to your control. From here on out, that nation is yours. I am also giving official control of the Protectorate Nation of South-Nerotika over to you as well. I will be sending you the password for that nation as soon as I can. Thank you for your support, friendship, and loyalty over the years.
To all nations in which I have RPed with, Credonia's successes and failures, all of which factor into Credonia's success could not have been done without you. Thank you for 2 great years of RPing. Its sad that I must depart NS like this, however, I decided that instead of putting on some grand RP leading to the defeat of Credonia, I would leave peacefully and gracefully. Thank you all, once again, for 2 great years! Good luck to all nations who RP on NS-II.

Well, as we all say, the real life is always more important than the world we make on NationStates. I offer you my spiritual support for your college and military life, as I feel you, as I myself am in college, and although not in the military, in other programs that do take up a lot of my time. Now, if these latter programs take up a lot of time, I could only imagine what the navy can do. Regardless, joining the navy is a much better choice that continuing to play NationStates, and you will always have the gratitide of those who play for your service.
Other than that, I've had great times role playing with you, including being in the first IADF, and although you may not played a big role in the third IADF (dunno about the second) you were also the underscoring spirit in its creation.
So, in other words, thank you for these past two years, which [b]have[b] been great.

From: Galen Q. Leotardia
To: Kaimoni A. Sutton
It is a sad day indeed when a leader of a nation that is one of the Empire's closest allies leaves his command. We, the people of the Pure Socialist Holy Empire, declare today "Kaimoni Day" throughout Shazbotdom. And thus on this day we will send 15 jugs of Shazbotdom's finest wine, along with $5,000 cash and a comemorative plate. We hope you do well in anything you want, now and forever.

OOC: It's with some mixed emotions that I write this note. ICly, we didn't have much contact with each other until a few months ago when we were teetering on the edge of war. OOCly, I remember my newb days on NS and I remembered quite a lot of threads where people demonised you ICly at every turn. I'm glad I just decided to sit back and read to get a sense for what was just political hot air and what was my country's truth.
We didn't get a lot of opportunity to interact with each other and establish much of a history between our nations, which is a shame. I wish you much luck and success as you join my favourite branch of the U.S. military. May the spirit of the great officers and rates of the U.S. Navy past and present help guide your way.

From: Kir Kanos, Secretary of State, the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia
Re: Your Departure
Sad is the day that one of the most upstanding and responsible world leaders I have ever had the privilege to work with leaves the world stage. The Imperium is indebted to your tireless efforts to promote life, liberty, and justice for all across the world, and for your absolutely incredible work in the fight against terrorism. We were, and still are, proud to adopt your doctrines and assist you however possible in the never-ending fight against terrorism. I am proud to say that I was a friend, if only a casual one, to President Kaimoni A. Sutton. Godspeed to you, sir.
Respectfully,
Kir Kanos
President of the Democratic Imperium of Halberdgardia
[OOC: I'm sorry to see you go. I enjoyed the brief IC contact our Presidents had, and I was looking forward to RPing them meet. And even if CATP goes defunct in your absence, I'll still leave that link in my sig. Best of luck to you in the Navy, and I hope that perhaps one day you'll come back to resume the war against terror in II. Godspeed to you, and best of luck in all your endeavors. -- David (the player behind Hal)]

Thats touching Cred. Its a pity to loose you, and it really is a shame that you have to give this up. Then again all good things must come to an end.
II will definetley be a different place without you.
I'm really glad that you remembered me :), I can also remember when you just started out. To say that I tried to take you under my wing would be wrong. I saw great potential and helped to shield you from others that may not have liked that during the time it took you to find your feet in the NS world.
It's always a sad time to see good RP'ers move on from the stage of NS, and I wish you every success in the future in whatever you choose to do. Hopefully we can still chat on MSN for years to come.

:( This is really heart breaking. I SHALL return, but for the next several months, that will be impossible for me to do.
To all my allies who have responded thusfar, I just want to thank you again for your support
To Sarzonia, perhaps in the future pending my return, per your stay on NS till then, our nations can establish peaceful relations. Even though we've been to the brink of war and back, I always have admired and respected your nation, which is why Credonia has seeked to avoid confrontation with your nation as much as possible.
To Holy Panooley, its nice to see you're being your stubborn arrogant self. I love ya too man lol. Even tho u can be a prick at times (dont take that personally), if you ever wanna chat on MSN or somethin, just im me. Im pretty sure I have the patience to tolerate ur arrogance now...by the way..we should debate again so that i can kick ur ass a second time in that :p
To Independent Hitmen...not enough can be said, and like the saying goes, some things are better left unsaid. I'll see ya round MSN.

HOLY MOLY! What else did you expect? I cannot be any less arrogant in such threads... That way everybody knows I'm just a melodramatic pain the ass. Being stubborn and annoying is part of my Mysterious Internet Alter Ego©.
