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.

What a odd thing it is. I am what I am in NationStates because of someone whom I now hate and pretty much never want to talk to again. Life takes you on unexpected pathways, ones that have led me to be what I now am.

I first heard of NationStates on a different website in which I was extremely active at the time, Chris Creamer's Sports Logos Community. A member there mentioned NationStates, which at the time was that forum's latest fad. So I figured, what the hell, why not check it out?

When I first joined NationStates, on February 26, 2009, I got tons of recruitment messages, as all new countries do. After reading all of my messages, it came down to two regions; 00000 A World Power and Brinotopia. The most appealing part of AWP was the tavern and nightclub (which I now know never existed). For Brinotopia, it was their promise of nude beaches and simple ways. After a few minutes of trying to decide which region to go to, I finally chose AWP because of the nightclubs. So, basically, the only reason I'm a member is because of a lie in the recruitment message.

For a few days, I just sat around the region, doing nothing in particular except issues for my country. That changed on February 28, two days after Ten Stars' creation. Neanbear sent me a telegram wanting me to join the WA and the forum. I didn't join the WA until much later, when I created Brown Barbaloots, but that's another story. I got a relatively small welcome, only 5 replies, to be exact. I also requested a spot on the map. And that was about all I did until March 21st, when I applied to join the POP. I had 4 posts on the forum at that time.

When I joined my first political party, the Pessimistic Optimists, that was when I started to get active. I quickly made my way up the totem pole until in early August, I was "the most promising member" many had ever seen in AWP. I was about to lead my first RDF mission and was considered a lock to win the Western senate seat over American Vampires, known here as South Boston Irishmen. This was when I made the biggest mistake that I have ever made.

I just had watched our RDF forces lose a fight in, if I remember right, Eagle Clan. Something had happened earlier that night that night that had pissed me off really bad. I made the mistake of rubbing the defeat into Neanbear's face, and after the agrument that ensued, left the region. The only other region to offer me refuge was, ironically, the region that just defeated our region, The Black Hawks. I joined the region and was just starting to get settled when their founder banjected me because he thought I was a spy. Shocked and without a home, I wallowed in the Rejected Realms for a few days before AmericaXLI convinced me to come back to AWP.

This meltdown effectively cost me the Senate seat, which is currently still held by American Vampires. However, a few weeks later, I was provided with another opportunity. A person requested an embassy with 00000 A World Power around the same time I began to get active in interregional affairs. I decided to become the ambassador to a new region, just starting out, called The Walbard Union.

Really interesting, however dissapointed with the lack of Liberty in the thing.

:P

I have found by now that New nations who rise and are seen as promising members always do something that drops them, for me it was becoming Minister of Education, however I have found it doesn't ruin it later. As I hope to be delegate.

Really good, I hope you carry on.

For me it was probably becoming Communications Minister in the FRA during the battle for The North Pacific. Didn't change anything here much but to a number of older folk (Westwind et al) I was then seen as the little upstart just trying to stick my nose in areas that only experienced players should get involved in. To those on my side my passion to tackle the Crimson Order was a good thing but it put a lot of obstacles in my relations with Equilism following TNP.

I had just led a failed defense mission, the only one I ever led, in fact. Neanbear, after the loss, called me a "brainless slug" for losing the battle. This pissed me off so much that I abruptly said goodbye and left the region. The only region to offer me refuge was, ironically, the region that just defeated me, The Black Hawks. I joined the region and was just starting to get settled when their founder banjected me because he thought I was a spy.

Funny how a person's memory can alter things isn't it?

It might've harmed things with Equilism - and you later joining the region wasn't particularly wise, but you impressed everyone in the FRA at the time, and at least you didn't resign in the middle of your term :P

Not to put a damper on anything............. but that was just a straight out weird night... we had a completely standard liberation mission where the delegate was active... and so he was able to banject us before the region had updated... a very common occurrence... but right afterwards TS made a post in the region and said something like "good job guys" (to TBH) and then moved his nations in to TBH moments later... I was actually talking to Red back at the time (I think it was him... or evil wolf) and he was wondering what the heck was up with a guy from AWP moving to his region...

anyway to make a long story short... that was a super weird night and it definitely wasn't nean's fault...

anyway............. just had to get that out there.

EDIT: anyone want to make a nightclub?

Ranny you can't preach out of a bible you do not follow, Turl me, have you offered us apologize, mostly me after that insulting PM, but also Turl.

NO, so preach from your own bible and let people follow their own choices in life, cause if you don't do that then it's just sad.

Sorry about bringing up an old post but seriously.... I also want this updated. :D

that smile wasn't to you ranny <_<
