OOC: 4 years of AMF

Alas, another year comes and goes. Tomorrow marks my 4th anniversary of joining NationStates, and I can safely say that though I've been playing this game for 4 years, it seems as if it was just yesterday that I started out.
Sadly I lied last year when I said that I was going to take things to a whole new level. Work and assorted personal problems kept me off the site for awhile, and year 3 was spent largely in seclusion, emerging every once in awhile to do battle with the likes of The Kraven Corporation (great guy, really easy to work with) and so on.
BUT, this year it WILL be different, and I've already started by threatening to declare war on a 100+ nation region for trying to recuit Gholgoth into becoming a protectorate of theirs (the recruiter sadly tucked tail). Expect good old fashioned wholesale slaughter on levels that were seen last in '04, and a LOT more surprises involving my characters and national direction.
Hopefully this year will be one of my most memorable, and I want to thank all of those I've interacted with, and those who still read my work.
Thank you.

Congratulations, If I'm still around in another four years time I will be very pleased looking forward to reading about your new campaign of doom.
Heh, it feels like 2005 was yesterday. Congrats on AMF's near 4th birthday.

Good to see a great writer is still around, and he whose postings inspired me to pull out all the stops, no less.
Congrats on your fourth year. If your writing in your posts didn't show your dedication, this does. And good luck on the war, may it be as free of OOC trouble as possible.
Here's to another year... and you not finding anything involving Damien Dreadfire photoshopped into a schoolgirl's uniform. P/MT NS is scary enough.

Yes, my lurking days are officially over. I've been watching all the recent developments, but until now I haven't had time to get involved. That all changes now.
Wow, it actually-honestly feels like only yesterday you were celebrating 3 years of AMF.
Looking foward to the future.

Congrats, bro!
Hopefully this little slave decree of your's will mean that you and I will be finally RPing on more than just a diplomatic level... :)

I am considering pulling my support for Kraven now. :p

We'll see how it plays out Doom. :)
I am considering pulling my support for Kraven now. :p
Dreadfire still views Kraven as irrelevant, though some in the Freekish military and diplomatic offices are growing weary of Corporate authorities spouting off. Doubtful if anything will happen in the near future.

:whew: I guess I could run the risk for a couple of more (rl) months... that is if he ever gets around to actually invading SEA!

Hurrah for anniversaries! Wasn't around in '04 so... this should be fun. For the record, if you find yourself with nothing better to do, that offer of mine still stands.

Yes AMF but what have you really achieved?
Death, that's it.
Wouldn't you rather have a full life and experience peace and love?
I say convert to pacifism, NO ONE will expect it and your nation will become a new focal point for a NS-wide conversion, lay aside those arms of hate AMF, you can do it!
(That was a joke, albeit a bad one)
Seriously AMF, it's always good to see you in action, despite the fact I have almost no connection to your nation.
Congrats on 4 years AMF! Whenever I think of NS, I think of about 5 nations, one of 'em is you. Keep up the dedication.

It's been an honor interacting with such a fine role-player as yourself, Automagfreek. Keep up the good work, and let's enjoy more years of writing and interaction with one another to come! :cool:

You bet SEA!
And to those whom I haven't yet interacted with: Hopefully that will change.
Yay on AMF reaching four Years. He is now one of The Bigger then any other nation Nations. Oh and just to let you know, I reached 6 billion, but still a long ways for Beating how many People you have AMF.
And to those whom I haven't yet interacted with: Hopefully that will change.
:eek: Or maybe we can just keep it as it was...
:p

Wow, it does seem like you were celebrating three years just yesterday. From a not well known nation, congrats on four years AMF, heres to another four.
On a personal note, I remember the first RP I tried to join involved you; I remember joining the side you opposed, looking up your nation stats and shitting myself seeing your five billion to my seven million. I think after seeing that and everyone else's fear of you, I flip flopped and changed views. Heh.
It was the FelineCatfish thing btw.
A round of drinks on me!
Congrats, AMF.

Congrats.
Has anyone ever told you Damien would make a good candidate for the Next Scary Movie?
Anyways I hope we RP sometime, I read some of your stuff and it's pretty awesome :D

Having been around for almost all of that time to read your works and watch your character developments from the beginnings of the APTO, I can say it's been a great pleasure and a helluva ride. I doubt I'll be able to go all out with the RPs and be in all of them due to school and sports and social life taking up most of my time for a nice long while, but rest assured, I'll be in where I can, and I'll read what I can. 'grat's on the big #4, and hopefully there'll be a few more.

Huzzah! Regardless of our IC differences, you are an integral part of the II community and a very good writer. I hope we see you here for another 4 years to come, AMF!

Congratulations. Hope to see you around for the next four years, and more.
And I do fully intend to get a response up to "claim, prove and conquer" sometime soon. I also fully intend to blame my life for the reason that I haven't done so already.
Congratulations, my friend. It's funny, I never before realized how close our two original join dates were - April 15th will be my four years.
Having been around on NS, though not always on II, for nearly four years as well now, albeit with a year-or-two break in the middle, I can firmly say you're a great RPer and a good guy to work with OOC. I'm glad we've managed to do stuff together, and I'm glad I'm on your good side IC and OOC.
Now with this announcement, given in typical AMF style, I look forward to seeing just what's going to happen over the next year. Should be a good time.

I've only been around here for a few months but I want to say happy NS 4th birthday! And for more Real Life and NS ones for you too.
Alright glad to hear it! Unfortunately I only recently came into activeness here on II and never had the chance to read through all the stuff you did before although I've had to listen to it incesently from friends here on NS. Who know perhaps the paths of Groznyj and AMF may cross someday soon. Happy 4th birthday! :p
Btw, oocly I really want to see you and Kraven as the two dominant evilish powers on NS, though icly I want Krave to rot in hell:p :p
Welcome back.
I've only been around here for a few months but I want to say happy NS 4th birthday! And for more Real Life and NS ones for you too.
My sentiments exactly.;) You're quite the force to be reckoned with AMF, in either sense IC or OOC, and that only makes this forum better. I'm still new thanks to missing out on 2K4 and 2K5 while CTEd, but a quick read of the histories and simple listening has schooled me there. After all, without characters like Damien Dreadfire to take up a good cause so brutally that people wonder about those siding with him, I'd have to go much farther ICly to keep my country's underlying conspiratorial and mercenary streak in play after all the sweetness and light we normally fight for...:p Perhaps even so far as to cross over into real 'villainy', after all.
Ah, enough about me. Kudos to a great nation of great characters, AMF.:) I can only hope to learn from your example, and maybe be your equal by my four-year mark if ever. So far I like your thread versus Melkor, so hopefully we'll see that done somehow. My nation's elves live in the usual IC fear and loathing of him anyway, so we're rooting for you. As for the rest well, hey; the play's the thing...

Anyways. Happy 4th mang. Hope your 5th goes as you want it to.
Happy birthday mate, hope you enjoy the stepped up RPing.

I was starting to wonder who'd take up the mantle of ruthlessly slaughtering dozens of nations in the meantime..... wait, so that's why you declared war on Kraven! :eek:
Anyway, happy birthday. I just turned 3 (not my original nation here), except I wouldn't bother posting a birthday thread because I only ever RP once every few months.... and I've never even fought a proper war. >.<

Glad to see you still going strong, AMF (even though I came around when you were already cemented in NS history). I'd be glad to do any RP with you in Year 4.
