Westwind Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 You know you've been playing NS too long when... And congrats to you and your daughter Westwind! She was a carpet crawler back when I started, and now it won't be long till she's ready to start conquering NS regions. She does claim that she's "evil", so be very afraid.

Joe Bobs Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'll make sure we have her name in the FRA intel files then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Good thing she's part of my plan to take over FRA from the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bobs Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 That would make an odd episode of Jerry Springer... 'Next up we have a girl who claims her father used her to gain intel on the FRA. Her father claims she was passing puppet nation names to the UIAF. And we'll meet several conspiracists who claim the daughter and father are the same person!'

Westwind Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I can do better than that. ADN Director Pope Hope was both my daughter, and my siamese twin. To top that off, she turned into a shark, swallowed both Penngrove and I before barfing us back up. Ah yes.....those were the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bobs Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I remember those days. I've recently been writing up the history of the GRA (I'm literally going through thread by thread, it's taken me two months to write the first 8000 words, which has covered the first year (2005-06)) and I came across all scandals from that time, RLA forum deletion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Had someone in TNP ask me about helping with Feeder history the other day, and that just sounds like work to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consular Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 better use of time is to plot more shenanigans for the future, rather than reminiscing about old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Bobs Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Meh. The thing I like most about NS is writing, so I do TRR Times, the GRA updates, did one of the FRA updates, and working on the GRA history. Don't get much chance to flex the creative muscles in my job so it's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westwind Posted May 22, 2014 Author Share Posted May 22, 2014 'Tis a good thing, since it's a text based game. better use of time is to plot more shenanigans for the future, rather than reminiscing about old ones. Pretty much true. Use today to create the future that we'll reminisce about tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwind Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 *chuckles* He's been doing this sort of thing for a long time. Was making six figures straight out of high school, he's already passed all the computer/network/security certifications that were available. He used to write custom firewall firmware for awhile, was part of a million dollar firewall guarantee for one company. Was then Senior Security guy for Nokia worldwide. They provided him with company paid apartments in Germany, Sweden, Finland, Indonesia, and a couple other places. His wife still works for Nokia as an international lawyer (she's from Brazil). He then left Nokia for Experian to become their Vice President for Security, establishing a new presence in South America for them...they see that as the best new market for them. Then he rejected offers from Goldman Sacs, and is now at Blackstone where they do billion dollar deals over lunch. Meanwhile, my other nephew just passed the last Architectural test available in California, and his company made him a senior partner. I remember giving him rides in a basket when he was a baby, and now he turns 39 this month. Dang I'm getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huangshi Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I get the feeling I'm probably the youngest active resident of TWP... Though if he's writing essays Archsium might be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwind Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yes, even my dad has said (after a sideways glance at me), "Hey.....you're getting old!" Ask him to send a spare Million this way I can't even get him to do that for me. But he did pay for a night on the town on his expense account once.
