Ithania

Oh I see, it’s been several years since I was here too so we’ll be getting familiar with things at the same time. Good luck with it and hope you truly enjoy it here. If I can somehow help you with anything at all then don't hesitate to ask.

Hello there and welcome! I hope to get to know you in the future and look forward to exploring the new forum at the same time. I believe I've seen you posting on the RMB but is this your first time signing up for a TWP forum at all or merely the new one if I may ask? As an alternative to beer and dancing girls, I offer fruit tea and books on gender theory. I appreciate that probably isn't the best thing I could offer to make a good first impression. Oh goody, somebody that acknowledges our superiority. After all, we didn't collectively win the Nobel peace prize for nothing! * quietly sweeps arms dealing, World War I/II, and centuries of oppression under the rug*

There's obviously no rush but can I just check that the administrators have been made aware that this forum is redundant due to duplication? I'm sure they've been informed but I like to cater to remote possibilities. >_<

I'd love to be assigned to a region, or multiple regions. Of course, my familiarity with NS affairs is a tad terrible at present so I understand if I'm not regarded as particularly useful, Also. I don't think I'm quite annoying enough to make somebody declare war but I can't promise not to do something that causes sanctions to be imposed on us. Or to check my suitcases for plants or animals that cause a plague upon returning, I'm too absent-minded for that. As an aside, I believe I still have the details of the ambassadorial medal scheme I created for retention and recruitment purposes should TWP ever desire them. They were focused on rewarding various stages of service and recognising exemplary effort so may need a little tweaking given the changes I missed.

This will most definitely come in handy when I’m at certain conferences or sat listening to horrifically blinkered and affluent middle-class white people talk confidently about subjects over their red wine. My polite attempts to encourage humility and to discourage bigotry tend to be a tad too weak sometimes.

Your post suggests humility, pragmatism, diverse interests, and admirable candour Libetarian Republics so I'm sure TWP could/will benefit greatly from your contributions. I look forward to getting to know you and congratulating you on each step towards college and your degree. Oh dear, I recall private information becoming public knowledge but I thought that particular misunderstanding had been dealt with via a few posts. Sadly, my mental health at the time meant I didn’t have much energy to invest in dispelling the misconception. On top of that, I could be quite dramatic and callous. I regret any negativity, small or large, the confusion inflicted. *mournful sigh* I just hope I can compensate for it if or when I encounter those people again. I'm glad to see you're still playing Kevin, I remember wishing I'd had the same admirable desire to get involved in something rather political when I first encountered you on here. Now I can envy your ability to persevere too. Also, thank you very much for the welcoming comments. They're deeply appreciated. *hugs offered if wanted*

That's very kind of you and greatly appreciated. Although, I can only presume you think it's a positive due to Stockholm syndrome, the only way people could remember me is due to some kind of trauma. You have my apologies. Naturally, I'm exceptionally glad that you, and others, that made/make this region so amiable and intriguing remain, not that I expected anything less.

I played NS for a year or two and decided to return a few days ago after a conversation brought back interesting lil memories. At present, I'm attempting to understand the many changes that I missed whilst simultaneously prodding any sleeping memories back to life. There's an inordinate amount of dust and cobwebs to clean out of my mind. With regards to TWP, I doubt anyone will remember my mediocre and transient presence here but my first instinct was to return to this region since I associated it with a great deal of warmth. I sincerely hope that choice wasn’t presumptuous of me and also hope that I’m not intruding at a sensitive time. If anyone does object then please don’t hesitate to let me know. However, if there are no objections and anyone thinks that an erratic, inane, and wistful person could be of any use with their efforts then I’ll be happy to invest my energy. It seems that I returned at an interesting time so I’d love to help in whatever way is deemed desirable. In relation to general NS personal history, I primarily focused on United Nations/World Assembly issues so was a member of several groups linked to that; was a rather incompetent Delegate for England; offered some assistance with a few things here; and did some rather immature things that I shan't be repeating. Take care and wishing you all well!
