Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Rucket; A Memorial to Legacy

This park was named in memory of Rucket, a respected and well known member of the AWP community in May 2008. This thread has been put together with the help of many other members of this community; showing their respect for this Icon.

A Short Biography:
Rucket was recruited in one of the three or four recruiting runs done by the nation "Jess0rz" in early July 2007. She never got credit for recruiting him...

During this time he also contributed to the building of the AWP RDF. Together with Neasmyrna and Death or Life they were a small addition to the massive armies of the FRA and TITO, but he planted the seeds for our modern RDF which is now right up with the top defenders in the game.

Although Rucket went on less than ten successful missions together with Neasmyrna he brought the RDF into the "updater age" going on precise liberation missions entering a dozen nations into a region within a minute or two.

He was made an administrator of the forum and helped make the forum what it is today. He had 3,000+ REAL posts within a two month time span and it looked like he would never stop.

But he did.

While on an RDF mission in the defense of The Rejected Realms, he disappeared. He last logged onto the forum October 28th 2007. His nation stayed alive well into November as it was logged into twice while in The Rejected Realms, both after reaching 7-10 days inactive. But after a second log into his nation... Nothing ever happened again.

He has not responded to multiple e-mails sent to his account and has never been seen to log onto his MSN or AIM. he left without saying good-bye. We all hope he is ok, and even hold onto the hope he may show up again some day...

A lot of what can be said has been said apart from personal feelings. I always saw Rucket as someone who had a geniune care for AWP from day one. He is one of the members I most respected while he was here and I miss him and his input in importnat matters now he is gone. Hopefully he will return one day and is alive and well in the RW.

Recruiter, newspaper founder, active spammer.... he was involved with everything here and has left his mark on every aspect of the region and the forum. Even though I joined after he cte'd, I almost feel like I know him.

This thread was drafted so as to get "facts, thoughts and opinions" together so as to sum up of our memories at the moment we name something after him.

The names are the names of the nation she sent messages to and the smiley marked the one who arrived in the region.

He was recruited on July 7th and joined our old forum on July 9th at 12:38pm PDT.

This was perhaps the lowest period of activity in the regions history. Neasmyrna was active in 10,000 Islands and was just keeping AWP alive. Rucket was the only real active member on the forum at that time.

He continued to be active on the forum even when no one else really was. At the end of August Neasmyrna made the decision after much debate to return 100% to AWP.

This done, it soon became apparent we needed a new forum. So at the end of August, we moved here.

Here is the message that was sent (by rucket) at about this time:

Greetings,

This message is being sent to you by Rucket who was kind enough to send this out but was written by Neasmyrna.

Howdy all... I am here to announce new life for our region!!! As some of you know I have for the last month had my main nation, Petalumadom, in 10000 islands... After some talking about various options with Falconias Prime and others, I have decided to move Petalumadom back here...* What does that mean for you? I have more time to spend here... and more time to recruit, something I have hardly been doing here... I really liked 10000 Islands but I decided leave all that I was doing there and focus on THIS region. I again am going to focus on making this region A WORLD POWER but I need your help... here are a few simple things to do:

1. Join the United Nations, by joining the united nations you make your nations more influential in the region, and in the nationstates world. If you already are in the UN go on to step two...

2. Endorse Kelh our elected delegate. By endorsing Kelh you give him an extra vote in all UN matters making our regions opinion on things count even more... He currently has 44... Let's see if we can get it up to 50 and beyond!!! If you have already endorsed Kelh, thank you.

3. One of the most important things for a region is fun and activity... Where can we find those? On the forum... MANY many things are happening on the forum, we are working on starting up our currency again and several government positions are being formed... Please, if you haven't been on the forum make a point to do so at http://aworldpower.proboards100.com
If you come on please post!!! Post post post... the more people posting the more fun it will be.

4. The RDF is getting ready to grow in leaps and bounds and become a respected and feared fighting force. We are now part of the FRA (founderless regions alliance) which is made to help protect regions all around nationstates who need help. Please go on the forum and join the RDF.

And last of all I would like to ask a big favor of you... Be active... Activity=power AND most importantly FUN!!!

Please be active and help us to TRULY become A WORLD POWER!!! If you have any questions please feel free to telegram Neasmyrna. This telegram in a few lines is:

1.Join the UN
2.Endorse the delegate
3.Join the forum and RDF
4. BE ACTIVE

Thank you

*Petalumadom will be back in the region within a week, I have to close some things up first.

He was exactly what A World Power was all about, he saw his and our vision and worked tirelessly towards it. He had ambitions of one day becoming our delegate too. If he were still here I have no doubt that we would be at around 500-600 nations, not just from his recruiting but from the energy and activity he created too.

Some people will be as involved as possible and still get bored with something, and need a change. I'm sure he's doing fine, but I do hope that he is living a life he enjoys. He is sorely missed and always shall be.

Maybe Rucket was in the military and was called to duty. It seems unlikely, but possible.
