Of all the contemporary software I used, I liked Sixguns' the best. But Winnie's Vortex was easily the best during it's time. It was easy to use, extremely practical and more timely than Six's had been. Sometimes I pine for the days when I was so deeply involved. But then I realize that what I pine for is the time I had to be that deeply involved. I wonder, if I had the time, would I use it the same way I had before?

Sorry. I thought the Former Delegate mask had access. Working on that right now. OK. Check now and let me know.

Welcome to The West Pacific! Do you have any chocolate?

Another Cleveland Resident! OH...

Done!

I'll take a peek later tonight. I've got some evening plans, but will have time at 9 ish.

Gravedigging is scary

Glitter, books and conspiracy theories about the Empire.

Done

Now, you are both masked as Delegate. If it's ok, I will leave your mask until she officially overtakes you in endorsements.

Done I'm slowly getting caught up with things. Thanks for being so patient.

Gravedigging without comic intent is generally frowned upon. That being said, we are a mostly "hands-off" admin team, so I"m not locking the thread. Only pointing out that you are 15 months late with your response.

Added everyone except Dali, who was already in the Hall of Nations.

I share generously with the good people of TWP. I hope you are going to stay with us. We like you!

Hello! Welcome to TWP! Do you have any chocolate?

Sad to see you go, Khanter. If command wishes to change your masking, have them reach out to me any time. Hope your activity returns soon!

Everyone in the above list has had their masking reduced to "member." Note, that includes some who had military masking (among some other things.) If you wish to add military masking back to anyone, just let me know. Also, there were two on the list that had no record. That means the names were never registered. Let me know if it's a misspelling or nickname and I will try to dig them up sometime. But at this point, those names do not exist.

His Royal Highness is now a member of the Hall of Nations!

All done

Hurray!! I admit, I was expecting that.

Hello! It's good to see you here! Do you have any chocolate?

6. Do I think that NS needs a region filled with loyal, enthusiastic citizen soldiers who would march into battle blindly for the sake of their finely crafted cultural obsession? Do I think NS needs regions who are not what they seem and powerful in ways most are unaware of? Yes and yes! Do I think that basing that culture on a crusade against the WA is the way to go? Not so much. I treasure my time with GV and my time collaborating with them, but I think the crusade against the WA might not be viable in the new NS. 7. I have been out of the game too long and no longer know what the R/D paradigm might be. From my perspective, the R/D paradigm is well entrenched and after the Predator scandal and subsequent Purge has a set of rules that make it an NS Institution. I am unsure if one event could change an institution. I am more inclined to think that change will come slowly as a more cultural shift, if it comes at all. One of these young upstarts will come up with a crazy idea that will catch fire and the game will be changed forever without anyone much noticing until after it's happened. 8. Yes. I met Karpathos there. That's about all I am going to say about that. Some things should not have the mystery peeled away.

My desire to rule NPO is directly involved with the way Moo and Ivan drove traffic to those other realms. Though that duality gave us Elegarth (whom I adore!), I still hold a bit of a grudge against Moo and Ivan for the decimation of the NPO by CN.

So, I have been trying to answer these for hours now. I get half way there and need to close the window for work. Here is a shortened version of the answers. If anyone wants a more detailed explanation, I'll try to give it at a later date. 3. Honestly, all the coups and Theatrical events have started blending together for me. I remember The Crimson Order but I keep getting mixed up between Equilism and TNP. I recall the members of Order and their "main" identities. But I didn't participate directly other than lobbying GV participation. And since I can't recall if I was a TWP Guardian, or GV Delegate at the time, I can't recall how much lobbying I actually had to do. lol I recall more about the TNP/TP friction because so much of it involved raw emotions on the part of some TNP folks chafing under their transformation. And some of it was openly directed at me for my associations with TP and the Old Regimes of TNP (including Ivan's tenure(s)). 4. Hmmm... Which did I enjoy more? My second term, despite the way it ended (URAP *shivers*) was much more enjoyable, if less eventful. I actually had fun the second time around. The first time was fraught with lots of drama and bad feelings and I left my post months earlier than planned because I was stupid enough to let the game start effecting my health. The Game wasn't helping me blow off stress, at that time it was adding to my already considerable stress load from RL. Frankly it was leave the post early or have a damned stroke. As my game relationship with Biyah was permanently damaged by events in Lemuria years prior, my personal relationship with him was damaged by events in TWP. We are only now becoming carefully cordial outside of the game for the sake of someone we both care about. All that being said, I believe I had more impact on the region with my first term and with my service as a Guardian where I made my focus the recruitment and placement of NEW blood in the big chair. I'm proud of that. 5. The short answer is that I held every position I wanted except the one I wanted most (see above). PRP Governor, People's Puppet operative, Comrade Senator of Intelligence in the NPO and whatever they called Interior and FA. OK. I am pushing the button on this before I have to close the window again.
