The Original

The Revised History of the Universe

I'm not going to put the official thing here cuz then i'd have to copy it, and i still have alot of work to do. The revisions include:
-No Aliens
-improved map/general cartography
-Things not happening so fast
-More realistic factions and weapons
-More realistic politics
-2 new Religions, and how religion will advance into galactic colonization
-Detailed histories of colonizations
-A revised system of navigation
-Improved calendar
-and much much more!

this is so much cooler than my last history, this is like...

its just cool.

So if you dont mind too terribly, i'll post my abbridged History here, just so i dont leave you going "uh, so what?" after all that buildup.

Starts out with the creation of the IAUS (interplanetary alliance of united
systems, i couldn't think of a better name)
Hrakkn refuses admission into
IAUS
Jovian Union splits from the IAUS
IAUS and JU have some
scuffles
Hrakkn moves in and says "STFU" on their mini conflicts, and leaves,
but tensions remain
End of conflicts and tensions means ARMS RACE! (cold
war?)
Hammond Project, and the JU Secret version, the Theyst
Initiative
IAUS attacks the JU
JU owns the IAUS
JU absorbs the IAUS,
creates the Galactic Empire
Empire Expands
IAUS rebels colonize the Outer
Rim in secret
Empire attacks Hrakkn (Hrakkn Incident)
Theyst goes
political in its discontent
Andreanov puppet state created by
emperor
Theyst starts assassinations
Hrakkn starts rebellion
Andreanov
rebellion occurs
Hrakkn defeats empire at a battle
Theyst defeats empire
at a battle
former IAUS systems rebel
Galactic Empire (jovian union)
Collapses
More colonization occurs, conferences for war etiquette and
standrdized time scale
Nanotechnology development
Jovian
Reunification
Former IAUS creates Glactic Republic
GR attempts to absorb
other systems, hrakkn and theyst call it "the second galactic empire" as slang
term
Galaxy declared "fully colonized" (all parts of the galaxy are occupied,
but not every planet has people on it)
Nano storm (nanobots that release EMP,
sweeps across galaxy in 2 years)
Conrad Hyunh goes to Exile
"Electron
Plague" Ends
Rise of the Kherdiin Federation
Theyst Recovery
Hrakkn
Re-assertion (not incredibly developed)

And thats where i leave off, i'm not sure where else to go...i can't keep writing history forever...

but this makes me think...if we can go from planet to planet, it'd take billions of years before the galaxy starts feeling overpopulation is an issue. in fact, it would be difficult to KEEP planets populated (but i have a way around that, dont worry). I guess the galaxy could provide humanity an infinite amount of new things to do....

Entry 31: Retirement from Nationstates.

Yep, my 4 year habit is finally getting the boot. I posted the following thing in my region:

Yep folks, i'm officially retiring from nationstates. I've had a good run, and i
think given my RL circumstances, this is a good time to leave. Unless we make up
our minds on how the Dyriiad Federation is going to collapse, if at all. but
yeah, an explanation first.If i were to stay, it would be delaying the
inevitable, and i can't think of a more convenient time the when i've already
been away for a week. As much as i love this region, and kicking much ass here,
in a year i'll be going to college, and i'll have to focus all my energies on
that. I need to focus everything on this upcoming YEAR to get my GPA up and
such. I hope you all understand, the old NS maxim that RL comes first. Thats not
to say i wont be around, of course. theres always my email (xrscott1x@yahoo.com)
or msn (tylusV@hotmail.com) that you can contact me with, and i'd be glad to
help you out and such. But, i think it would be a good time to reminisce about
my long history here. So if you dont want to read all this crap, then skip to
the bottom when i say goodbye. Otherwise, after the upcoming line, is a (almost)
year long history of my life in
Caprecia.
------------------------------------------------------
It all started, actually, with the region Cingeta. I was there for a long time, but
thought i'd take advantage of the provincial rule and make my own region, the
New Byzantine Empire. I tried to maintain ties, but they had a lousy ambassador
service, and i was busy making the NBE kickass and look cool. It was a
dictatorship, of course, but had a large enough following. I think i recruited
Sheen from there, and he's been following me around since. Anyway, that region
sucked, we had issues with possible spies and inactivity, and despite our
regional conquests we weren't doing too well. So, we split. I can't remember if
i went to VESN from here or to Empire incorporated (both regional upstart
attempts). VESN is where i recuited EM, i think that was...AFTER the NBE, and
maybe before Empire Incorporated. i can't remember. Anyway Empire Incorporated
was SSDD (same sh*t different day) and was doomed to failure from the get-go.
So, i decided to make a re-appearance in an LKE affiliated region and cause some
more havoc (my history with the LKE is a different story.)So i went to the
region Great Britain and Ireland. WOW whata mistake. i applied for citizenship,
and was denied, so i made a big fuss under the alias "THe Hub Republic" and
eventually i stormed off, to empire incorporated in hopes that they would follow
and see that it was me. I dont remember why i chose caprecia as my next place to
go, but i came here, and said i was a n00b. Then i decided to make ANOTHER
region, Theyst VI (my sixth attempt at a region named Theyst) so i took EA and
ran it by here, apologizing for lying and going on my merry way, when Dominion
was good eough to invite me back and suggest i look at the region more
seriously.So i did, since it was less work than the alternative, making my own
region. And MAN this place rocked, so i stayed. I think my first major post was
some international radio broadcast thing, probably still in national
developments. I started also dabbling in cartography and making friendly with my
neighbors and such. It took me a while to realize i had a hihger population than
alot of you, so i was playing safe by pretending i was weaker, and i was since i
wasn't familiar with the game. My first war was the first Andro-Zaran war. I
think it was because of a treaty i made with South Totowa, but i didn't realize
that i needed an army for defence so i moved my army of 19 million (back before
the 1% rule) into Erid'Lor, and wulfenstein and verenberg kicked my ass. From
that point forward, i kept Home Guards in all my cities. Then, when they had
gone, i grew a bit more, OTE moved next to me, EM came to Caprecia, and i
introduced Hadarism. AZW 2 ensued shortly after, with the holy war and such.
Then OTE went inactive, and decided to make himself a vassal state. After more
growth and a civil war and blah blah blah, hadarism died, i became more
prominent, and world events had happened. Soon after the introduction of Novreal
(or days before), erid'lor decided to go imperial-communist, and i kicked his
ass with OTE's and verenbergs help. Then there was TGE and all this other stuff
in andresia, lot of tensions, but nothing major. That saw the expansion of the
theyst republic, with the incorporation of Ialocin and Tellaria as provinces of
the republic. THat was pretty cool, people started to get worried. Then i
acquired brachion, kicked eyyguii's butt somehow, and jumped on Odersty while he
was young and stupid, and before you knew it the Dyriiad Federation was born.

the rest is hsitory, really.

---------------------------------------------
suffice to say,
i'm incredibly proud of my accomplishments here, and i'm really pleased with how
EM and OTE have helped the federation grow and become what it is today. Brachion
was also a good addition to the team, but he hasnt been around, and i dont
remember alot of his participation (sorry!).
So i'd like to say that its not
something that i want to do, but its something i had to do, this retirement
thing. Dominion, as long as you're around, this region will prosper, and as long
as the dedicated members that are here right now stay, this region will be
unstoppable. who knows where the next year will take you. Everyone, you've been
great, you've put up with alot of crap, and dealt with my unstoppable trend of
achievement that you couldn't hope to reciprocate (:P) just kidding on that last
thing, i'm sure the geography will do some more changing, i'm looking forward to
seeing what the future holds.

So....so long everyone! i'll be around.

PS
Erid, dont get too comfortable...

Anyway, thats that.

I guess i'll tak this time to list what positions i've held.

Prime minister (x2)
Head Cartographer (x2)
Delegate to a Conference
Regional Delegate (x2)
Senator
Minister of Defense
Co-Founder of the Repellican Party
Founderof the Dyriiad Federation
among others, but i can't think of them all right now.

Anyway, i've been there for a long time and now i'm leaving. See ya, nationstates. time to be productive.

Entry 30: Movie Review (yay!)

So for this, i had to go back to the origin of why i was reccomended to watch groundhog day to begin with.

"I have a question for you, have you seen the movie "Groundhog Day"? If so, what
are your thoughts about it? Do you feel there are there any "deep meaning"
messages in it?"

So i watched it today. Not a bad movie. hiiilarious.

But as far as deep things are concerned, i'll have to return to the blog that sparked the reccomendation, and its reply, just to touch up on things a bit.

My general thoughts though, are that there was no incredibly DEEP meaning. It was the logical evolution of a common mans train of thought when given an infinitely impossible situation.

He cycled through various sins, through suicides, and eventually ended up doing the right thing.

when given a bad situation, he responded poorly, and was unhappy. eventually he learned that using his bizarre situation to do good things can have positive benefits AND make him happy. Its like a rat pushing the button for a shock or for a treat. Once he learns what makes him happy, he'll do it over and over and over again.

Before his Groundhog days, he was egotistical and mean. Afterwards, he was selfless and nice. the transition was relatively realistic.

with reference to the "Big picture" or master plan. the movie is hardly indicative of what the plan is, and does not imply divine intervention, but if one were to infer divine interference, then it would be to teach the main character a lesson.

in real life, i think it would be too presumptuous (spelling?) of any of us to say we know what the plan is. if there is a plan, presumably its rather complex, and involves some paradoxes concerning sinfulness.

As far as movies are concerned though, i give it 3.5 stars. i hope this has been a sufficient movie review : )

Entry 29

I need to dust off some ol' cobwebs.

foinstance, i haven't updated this thing in a while.

largely in part because i can't think of anything to write.

just thought i'd share that XD

Entry 28: The Ultimate Perspective

So in reply to my previous entry, Mr. Baker suggested i contemplate an even larger perspective, "what is the purpose of life?"

((Just a side note, i would like to acknowledge that the only people who really read this blog are Bakers, and i know you guys are Mormon. I'm not entirely clear on your beliefs in regard to the subject matter of this Blog, but I know my beliefs are very different. I'll try to avoid saying anything incredibly controversial, but if something slips in, please do not be offended.))

So, our purpose in life? The question itself implies Religion, so i'll dive right in.

I am of the belief that God gave us free will to make free and complete use of it. To Live life to the fullest, to make success for ourselves and our family. So our purpose in life could be to simply live.
I like that line of thought because it gives humanity some wiggle room. Its a bit Humanist, and leaves God almost completly out of the picture in regards to how we run our lives.

---

Now Considering the counterargument that hypothetically my siblings would make, who take a somewhat fundamentalist view.

God wants us to glorify him, honor him, etc etc, but he wants us to CHOOSE to do it. We have free will so that our worship is all the more heartfelt.

The Reason i dislike this line of thought is because i do not believe God is that...self centered? My justification is that if, as the bible says, God made us in his image, then that includes some non-physical attributes as well, such as modesty and humble...ness. So I believe God would have made us for US, not for himself.

---
So, Assuming that the purpose of humanity is to exist, one might think thats kind of a pointless existance?

The reason our existance is NOT pointless is because we exist! If our existance was going to be pointless, God wouldn't have made us. If our existance was devoted entirely to god, it would be equally pointless (In my opinion) due to the fact that either way we would be wandering aimlessly. Except in the first, we aren't saying anything, and in the second, we're praising God.

This also calls into question the nature of our creation (somewhat), but thats another matter alltogether. One deep blog at a time, Russ.

I'm not entirely sure where else to go from here. This i believe would be the first MAJOR issue i've tackled on this blog, so i guess...thats that.

Thanks for the suggestion, Mr. Baker!

Entry 27: In Admiration of The Big Picture

Looking at the moon this evening, i realize how much i don't appreciate my surroundings.

I Told my grampa recently that some of the places i most want to visit in life are World War era battle sites, like El Almein, Normandy, Dunkirk, the Maginot line, moscow, places like that. I said (and have said this for some time) that i want to see them to make them real. I know they exist, i know what they should look like, but i dont know how they are. they are merely stories told to me, that have matching pictures and several versions. But if i go there, i can take history and apply it to the location, i can make it real in my head that this place isn't just a place.

All my life i've stood on the earth and looked at the moon. I know what the earth looks like. I know what the moon looks like. The earth is real, and yet i dont appreciate its size sometimes, same with the moon.

So though it may never happen, i think i would enjoy standing on the moon and looking at earth. that would make everything more real to me. i could look at the earth, and say "i can see my house from here".

Ultimately, i'd like to see everything from the larger picture. the galaxy, the solar system. but some things are more possible than others.

I just love that space is real, and impossible to comprehend, yet so easy to understand.

and that one day, we'll be able to take it for granted.

Entry 26

Yeah, so...

just thought i'd pop in, rub some dust off the ol' blog, write something not worth reading again.

I guess, since i'm planning on writing a short story about time travel, i'll speculate a bit about it.

Realistically speaking, time travel isn't possible. It would require the existence of a multitude of parallel universes, and i dont believe parallel universes exist.

But assuming time travel DOES exist, you mays well throw in teleportation. Say you had a device that allowed you to travel back in time, and end up at any point on the planet you are on, or anything within your planets gravitational field of influence. That would mean the Moon would have a limited capacity for being travelled to.

Anyway, i think it would be possible to travel back in time, maybe half a second, to any point on the planet. thats teleportation. Time travel farther back is what gets annoying.

Consider time as a line.

consider time travel as taking a thread from the end point of the thread (Now) and reattaching it to a previous part on the thread (then) and then letting the thread continue on its way.

Heres a real-world example.

A man is running. A man appears next to him, who looks just like him. They cross the finish line, and the first man travels back in time to when he was running, except he's running next to himself. he crosses the finish line, and his original self disappears, and he goes and gets a drink of water. The End. 

Its a bit weird. because what will happen has happened before you even contemplate doing it. 

So i've developed a system that kind of works. Lets take the running-man scenario.

The mans running. A kid calls out "I'm Going to throw a rock at you!" and your future self comes back and tells you to step a bit to the left. The kid throws the rock, and you dodge it. You reach the finish line, and theres the time machine. You HAVE to go back in time, otherwise a paradox will take place, and you'll end up with a bruise on your shoulder somehow. So you go back in time, and warn your past self again. 

That system only works if, upon reaching the finish line, you make the choice to go back and remain consistent with the paradox. If one were to choose not to go back, though, then problems would arise. 

BUT that also brings into question the nature of free will in regards to time paradoxes. assuming parallel universes do not exist, and you can go back to any point in time you want from any other point in time, you have all the time in the world to go back and avoid the paradox. So if you cross the finish line, and you choose not to go in, at some point you will go back in time to warn yourself, if by accident or otherwise, because its already happened, it becomes inevitable, the choices of free will have already taken place. you have a choice, but you already know what your choice is before you make your choice. 

am i making sense? I'm glad i'm wording this out. But i should probably be doing something, seeing as i'm in my 3rd block class right now...

Time travel is mind boggling to think about.

Reading over it, i decided to throw in one last thing.

If one were to go back 5 years, you'd be "running" with yourself for a really long time, before your original went back 5 years and you became the sole person. By the time you catch up with yourself, you've aged 5 years. So in my system, once the people go back in time, they retire until their original goes back, at which point they can choose to either return to the force or continue on their paid retirement. 

But no travelling to the future, once your in the past. the future HASN'T happened yet. This short story will take place outside of my amazing timeline (see "History of the Universe"), because its theoretically impossible. 

now i'm done.

back to work.

Foiled Again

I knew i would end up not updating this as much as i should.

Things just "got away", time "slipped by", "flew" if you will. I "stopped posting in my blog".

And i probably wont post again for a really long time. but i'll get back into it. at some point. I swears.

At least i'm consistent with my selection of font.

Libertarians for the win!

Entry 25

Happy (belated) Easter everyone! We came down to my grandmothers house in lexington, VA, and hung out with my cousins, and sally and aaron came down for a while. it was pretty fun. No one ever tells me where to sleep, though. all i heard was "on the couch" so i ended up sleeping on the tiny couch that wasn't INCREDIBLY comfortable, but it was good enough.

and we're coming back today. :D

Entry 24

Today was pretty good. i dont feel like going into details. but it was good.

Entry 23

Today was swell :D

3 jet fighters were flying around. loud, and disconcerting, but cool

Entry 22

Arthur C. Clarke died today. *tear* oh well. i have his stuff already, got it before it was super-expensive.

i wonder if asimov is still alive?

:D

i'm in a good mood.
And i'm dumb. As is usual when one dabbles in matters of this thing right here ---> <3

Entry 21

So i haven't updated this thing in a while

My laziness in independant study came back to bite me. Getting slammed on that front.

Working out other issues, should be good. i'm pretty excited actually.

Bah, i knew this would happen- my blog is falling into disuse! oh noes!

Techno Mix CD

From 5:52 - 6:37 (Shortened and lame version, but the only one i could find)













[I couldn't find the Swamer Battle Music from the game HOMEWORLD]

Entry 20

So here i am.

20th post. REAL post. Only the things that are listed as "Entry #" are REAL posts. i'm not sure HOW many posts i'm at. Not really important.

Good-ish week.

Nothing interesting to report. I went to a BP lacrosse game vs. albermarle. We could have one, if they'd switched out our starters. both JV and V got trounced.

And i have homework. Swell.

That "IN the Hall of the Mountain King" song is my new favorite song, and i made a techno mix CD of some of my other favorites and listen to it in my car.

Maybe i'll make a post with the songs ON that CD.
Yeah, that'll be cool.

In the Hall of the Mountain King

Insomnia

Entry 19

So, today was lame.

I Dont really feel like going into detail about it.

But it was lame.

The Gym was cool, though. i actually brought my ipod in with me.

I'm glad i'm going.

Entry 18

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=29991907

Just thought that was FRIKKIN AWESOME!!!!

Anyway, another semi-good day today. started off poorly, because i was up late worrying for no reason last night. But i worked out and showered, so i'm all energized.

The comedy team of Myself, J. Shaw, and Becca Brannon is going to kick off on Sunday, i hope. Battle Salmon. Look for us on youtube, when i tell you to.

Quick rundown of my day:

Morning: lousy
Commons: Lame
Math: SO BORING!
German: Boring
Lunch: Not too shabby
Independant Study: Productive, but lame
History: Took a test, failed, so lousy
Gym: Not too shabby, but i forgot my iPod in the car again
Home: Cool, got home, was gunna have a shower but got distracted *cough* Tory *shakes fist*
Homework: Lame

I wish math wasn't so boring. I can't remember how to do soemthing because i zoned out. Curse Canas!!!!

I'm done.

Entry 17

What a good couple of days!

Yesterday, i applied at Aquia Landing AND at Target. *Hopes the Target job comes through*

I also wrote that AWESOME timeline.

and today i went to the gym!

Ah, everything is going quite well.

And i have a cat sitting on my lap :D

but what really has me in a good mood is that Timeline. i cannot wait to start bringing some of the stories to Fruition! GAH! so awesome! thats a major accomplishment in my life. Major major major. An even bigger one will be writing stories for it. And actually finishing them. Its possible! i can do it!!!! and i canna WAIT to do it, too. *drools* So much good stuff.

For those of you who dont realize i'm a nerd, this is your Captain Obvious quote of the day: "Russell is a Nerd"

Anyway, good day so far. And i think i'm getting re-elected as prime Minister in Caprecia (my nationstates region)

aaannnd that war, that i fretted so much about earlier, is still on hold. Whats-is-face ran off. RL commitments take priority, so its ok. but suspicious *shiftey eyes*

I'M IN A GOOD MOOD, DAMMIT!

I think i'll take some pictures of myself. like the one i have in my Blogger profile, with a koala head. or the original picture, which looks something like http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g212/xiP_sllessuR/flippinawesome.jpg <= That (If you look REAL hard, in the background you can see my automotive. *sigh* what a nice car. i use it to drive places.)

While i'm waiting for the above picture to upload to my photobucket account:
NOTE TO SELF Cartography updates: Remove DU members, Neu Wien, and freshen up some of the static, if you could be so kind.


And i'm done!

Dont feel like thinking anymore. This is good stuff!!!!

History of the Universe

So i'm slowly developing a series of stories that work in sequence with eachother, its really cool.


My latest idea? A Civilization rising after the fall of a great space-faring culture. So you have these humble farmers on a hillside, looking into space and seeing stars that move, and looking on the horizon to the ruins of an urban area, or someone who keeps a garden in the middle of a city thats been reclaimed by nature. And then their counterparts from another part of the galaxy come to them, and document what happened to them, and leave, leaving everyone bewildered. And then an expedition goes into the heart of a city, or travels throughout the city looking for records, and they discover vast technologies that have been lost to time and machines and all sorts of cool stuff.

Oh, and this civilization is also plagued by falling Sattellites that have been neglected. Maybe. Maybe they'll solve that problem in the future. but it'd make for some cool stuff.

"Another Robot from the sky, Johann?"
"Aye, ruined my corn crop it 'as."
"Thats a shame, eh."

and various other technological malfunctions that plague the humble farmers. Maybe it'll be on Kherdiin, or...Earth would be awesome. But i like to avoid earth. it'll be some other planet. but it'll make for a really cool story, when i write it. i'll devote another post to my make-shift history of the Galaxy.

JOBS

I applied for a job back at Aquia Landing today. I really dont want to work there, so in a little bit i'll be goin to Target to apply there too. I hope i get Target, cuz i really dont want to work at the beach. Bah, i hope i get that job!!!

maybe i'll apply at some other place too. Just in case.

Entry 16

Wow, so, lots has been neglected. Todays the last day my sister and her boyfriend are here. and as bad as it may sound, it couldn't end sooner. I love 'em and all, but sometimes....*shakes head* anyway

If anyone hasn't heard the YES song HOMEWORLD (The Ladder) then i suggest you look it up. its my favourite song right about now, right next to The Messenger, also by YES.

Driving is still cool, even though i've been doing less of it. But starting this week, i'll be able to do everything i've been wanting to do! that is to say, Going to the gym after school, and etc.

But i have homework, and i can't remember really anything i wanted to say. Went to festival, dunno what we got (saw Tory, 'twas kick-ass (See her blog and my comments))

Um...yeah, thats about it.

I'll update more later.

Gotta get into the 1-2 a day routine again.

((THIS JUST IN: We got a 2. LOL! karma, but sutherlands gunna be pissed, but thats a good thing. she needs some dissapointment to realize how bad a teacher she is.))

Entry 15

So, the storm last night was pretty cool

Woke me up though

We all went to the basement, because apparently we were in the path of a tornado.

But the house is fine, but i realized how much i would lose if a tornado DID hit (any given disaster, my room is the first to go (Ok, not any given one. earthquakes, no. but any one involving wind...))

It was almost a life changing moment. but i got over it :P

School was uneventful.

So was everything else.

Yeah, i lead a boring life, it would seem.

Entry 14

Alright, so, lets see....

Nothing much to report. Sutherland lost her cool at the wind ensemble, and yelled "This is frikkin wind ensemble!"

To that i lol'd, and made this when i got home: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g212/xiP_sllessuR/300-1.jpg

I took the multiple choice part of my english SOL today, and i'm taking the writing part tomorrow.

Lets see...

Rode the bus. Uneventful.

I really like my house. when its like it is today in the winter (damp and leafless) then it seems more like my central base than my home, which gets the gears turning for sci-fi inspiration.

speaking of which, i have 2 great ideas that i need to develop more. i started one and haven't written down the other, but have the premise pretty much solidified in my head.

Meh. nothing new to report. *out*

Entry 13

W00! ladies and gentlemen, yet another post.

Persuing Tory's link list, i see her little blog thing is catching on.

In pondering this, i realized i really dont post much worth reading.

So i'm turning over a new leaf!

Yes, today is a new day!

I'm not going to care any more!

bet you (the anonymous and not-so-anonymous reader) thought i was going to say i was going to post actual content. Psh. who posts content. apparently, not me.

Switching gears from that somewhat silly rant.

UPDATE ON MY DAY:

Lame, boring, etc

getting a bit tired of certain things, and my sister is taking my car to go visit a friend in virginia beach. not my car. my dads car, which he most graciously permits me to drive (right dad? *thums up*) Anyway, this makes me have to ride the bus. Which kind of sucks.

but my mom wants her laptop back. seeing as i dont have much else to do, i mays well go to bed.

Curses.

G'night, foo!

Lack of Posts

So sally and her boyfriend are over, and the bo gets the computer room, so that means i wont be on as much as i'd like.

But on that note, i forgot to mention

2 days ago, in english, 2 friends and i switched personalities, confusing our substitute. it was Tad, Ryan, and Myself, so Tad was Ryan, I was Tad, and Ryan was me. it was very confusing and it was essentially an excuse to make fun of each other (i learned alot -.-)

and that was hilarious. we did a slightly less funny version today, and we plan to do it every english class with a different combination.

But thats that. Bye for now.

Boredom

So, i'm here in my 3rd block class. the time is now 12:35. and i'm bored. i wanna play some games. But no ones on meebo while i'm at shool -.-

i need to find some good flash games that aren't blocked by the brooke point servers

Entry 12

Back down to 1 post a day. which is good. i was getting a bit excessive there.

School was fine. started off poorly, was mediocre the rest of the time. Band was better. Sutherland still complains about her budget.

After school i drove to the gym, it was closed, so i went to wawa and got gas and then went to Stafford music to buy reeds for my sister and i. then came home, now we have a Pre-Festival Concert, and Wind Ensemble hasn't had ANY rehearsals....*whistles* gunna be bad! and its gunna be long to. Bleh

War with totowa is on hold due to RL issues with Totowa, things were getting nasty so i got rid of all the nastyness and simplified things.

Annnnd thats all. I had cheesecake. T'was delicious.

Entry 11

Today started off poorly. and then remained mediocre. The rain sure didn't help. But i listened to good music on the way home. so it was all good. kind of. I was all sniffley today, that was annoying. bah. it wasn't a bad day. just wasn't a good day either. and i had a bad morning, so -.-

Alls well that ends well. the day is still young.

I have more clones than you

Entry 10.2

Dangit! The gym is moving somewhere, cuz its in Aquia Towne Center, which is being renovated.

Entry 10.1

Tomorrow i get to start going to the gym!!! *w00t* annes going to start a running club, and ima go to the gym, and on my way back i'll pick her up. hurray!

Entry 10

My day in breif

Woke up
went to school
drove anne to the dentist
came home

i dont really feel like elaborating much, since writing twice would be a pain and this IS supposed to be RUSS-LITE, but i appear to be writing more crap in here than my Lime Juice. *shakes fist at tuberculosis*

But anyway, driving was fun, sutherland was a pain, german was alright, and....whatever.

War with totowa is going poorly. lots of atrition going on. and subterfugeing or w/e.

I'm done.

*phwoosh*

Entry 9

So, i had a post earlier today, but i lost it. so, i'll paraphrase

woke up, went to the range with my mom and dad, shot some targets, came home, put a funny bumpersticker on my car, went and picked up anne from church, came home, was on the computer, and i forget the rest of the day. lots of angst though. heres a picture of me with the bumper sticker!

Chess- A Short Story

Night fell on the town. The dual moons looked down on the countryside. As the Larger of the two moons set, the lights in the town slowly faded into the darkness. As the last of the townspeople were receding into sleep, the city erupted, and moments later the shockwave obliterated the town. “Fleet Command, this is Bombardment ship Rho-9, we have hit target with maximum yield. Proceeding to secondary target.”
“Rho-9 this is Fleet Command, Good job.”
The 1 Star Admiral commanded the huge Capital-Class Bombardment ship with flawless precision. He input the destination, and the ship began its journey to the location. He relaxed in his chair to watch the landscape go by, when his communicator buzzed. “All Bombardment ships, Cease fire! Enemy fleet inbound, redirect all fire at capital ships.” The ‘Urgent’ light flashed as the new coordinates were input into the computer. The Admiral watched with a strange sense of vertigo as the planet in front of him swung out of sight and the massive fleet came into view. The enemy ships were highlighted on the screen, and the admiral watched as several bombardment crafts locked on to various ships. The Admiral felt minimal acceleration when he punched the engines.The fleet had regrouped and was in attack position when the enemy fleet arrived. The Admiral grinned to himself. “Target locked?”
“Yes admiral!”
“Fire!”
The Rockets seemed to take forever to reach their target. At the moment of impact, the Ion Beam fired, blasting the weakened shields away. The ship tumbled towards the planet in a fiery mass. The other Bombardment craft fired at their respective targets. Several more crafts separated themselves from the fleet with critical hits and a few plunged towards their terrestrial demise. The firefight began.
The shield prevented most of the shots, but every now and then a shot would impact the hull and send echoes throughout the ship. The admiral hit ship after ship, and the fighters caught in the beam would burst like fireworks. The admiral began to have fun when his com buzzed again. “Cease fire! The Opposing admiral wants to surrender.” Cheers went up from the crew. A brief battle, but crippling for the opposition. The Opposing flagships faced each other, as the admiral presumed negotiations were underway. Then, all of a sudden, the enemy flagships engines flared to life, it seemed to erupt with fire. The Entire fleet lurched forward, as if their motions could stop the craft before it hit the flagship, but it collided in the largest explosion the Admiral had ever seen in his career. The fiery mass descended towards the planet until it impacted. The blast surely eliminated anything within many hundreds of kilometers. The admiral didn’t have time to think. He shouted into his com “Leave no survivors!” and the fleet fired everything they had at anything within reach.
A small battle group was dispatched to stop the retreat of the critically damaged ships, so that landing parties could capture the ships and the ships could be integrated into the fleet. The rest of the ships either exploded or fell to the planet below.
________________

After the battle, cleanup crews were clearing the wreckage from orbit, so that the invasion of Hrakkn could continue. The admiral proceeded to his secondary targets as the second in command 4 stars Admiral took charge and issued orders. The bombardment from that point on went smoothly. His Surveillance officers noted some troop movements on the ground and in the skies, but nothing that couldn’t be compensated for. The Admiral dispatched a minor bombardment on a troop column moving down a major highway.
“Admiral Cervidas, I would like to ask you a few questions concerning the mission.”
The Admiral felt the weight of age and the weariness of Post-Engagement Syndrome. “Look in your briefing,” The admiral’s eyes flickered towards the mans uniform. “Colonel.”
“I have sir, my questions are more technical.” This was the first time the Admiral noticed who the man actually was. Lieutenant Colonel Hadar Pontavus, leading one of the landing craft for the invasion. He’d asked many questions during the whole affair, and the Admiral suspected him of brown-nosing for a promotion.
“Well, what is it?”
“The landing will commence 14 hours after we eliminate all threats to the fleet, correct?”
“That is correct, AND in your briefing.”
“Yes, well, what will the nature of our landing be?”
“What do you mean? That wasn’t in your briefing?” he took the folder Pontavus was holding and flipped through it. “Damn those staffers. It will be by a standard landing craft, not by drop pods as originally planned. In fact, you should probably be going to the Flight Deck soon. How are your troops, by the way?”
“Pumped, sir.” He grinned. “You wouldn’t happen to have any environmental specifications of the Beachhead, would you?”
“Not off the top of my head. If you go ask one of my surveillance officers over there, they’ll be able to let you know.”
“Thank you, sir.” Pontavus saluted, then left.
The Admiral returned his attention to the display. Scenic! The star illuminated the fleet and Hrakkn with a purplish color, and the long shadows on the magnified screen painted a picture of victory for him.
His thoughts were interrupted by a small red flashing light and an alarm in his com unit- “Unidentified Craft locked on.” Surveillance had an immediate display- a missile had been fired. “Take care of it!” the admiral said. The laser defense system destroyed the missile before it had gone too far, and a small bombardment destroyed the base where the missile was launched. His nerves were slightly on edge. These people weren’t going out without some kind of fight.
An alarm sounded, and the Admiral clenched his fists. “Landing Party Alpha through Echo, report to Flight Deck 0046A, Foxtrot through Juliet…”
As the Marines received their commands; the admiral stared at the map. It was about to begin. He was going to make sure his crew made it back intact, and he was going to watch everything.
“Surveillance, get me Waypoint 00R9 on the main screen.” The beachhead appeared on the screen. “Is this feed live?” “Yes sir!”
“Show me the defenses.” After a brief hesitation, points appeared on the screen. He touched them, and read their information. “Military Presence?”
“Minimal. The planets defenses are spread pretty thin, they don’t know what to expect. They have slightly higher concentrations under our ships.”
“What about their air force?”
“They are on alert.”
“Take out what you can. I’ll suggest this to the other crews.”
“Fleet this is Bombardment ship Rho-9, try taking out their airbases to give our landing parties a bit of an easier go of it.”
“This is Rho-4, Roger that Rho-9; beginning attack.”
“Ditto, this is Rho-12”The various ships called in their attacks.The Admiral wondered why the ships don’t just eliminate the ground forces from space. Apparently there was a conference many hundreds of years ago, making it unethical. Too many civilian casualties. Oh well. His com buzzed with idle traffic. He drifted lazily off to sleep.

The ship stopped rattling. He looked through his display, and saw a huge craft, facing theirs. “Ceasefire!” he yelled into this com. “Hrakkn Flagship, are you prepared to negotiate?” no response. “Hrakkn flagship, are you prepared to negotiate? Do you copy?” no response. He saw the engines flare to life, and the ship rushed towards the screen. The feed went dead when the craft shook dramatically. Then he was engulfed in flames. He was ejected from the craft, and as he flew out of the fiery command center, he held his breath, watching his comrades falling. This was the end. As he slowly faded out of consciousness, The admiral woke up.

He was sweating. The scenic beachhead and been turned into a battlefield. He turned to his Surveillance team. “How long was I asleep?”
“I don’t know, sir. An hour maybe?”
“how’s the battle going?”
“We’re winning” The admiral smiled. Good to hear.
____________________________
The party was long, and annoying. The Admiral had to leave. He went to the observation deck to look at the newly conquered Hrakkn. The smallest moon, Daenyr was full and close to the horizon. He took his drink and swirled it around, but couldn’t bring himself to drink. He had a piercing headache that commanded his thoughts. His unsettling dream, the annoying Lieutenant colonel that didn’t come back, the loss of the flagship. It all bothered him. Something was about to change. And he had to give a speech praising his men? He laughed. Ridiculous. Its not over. Its not over, he told himself. He made up his mind to posthumously promote Pontavus. He wasn’t sure why. He was told he was an amazing combat soldier. He heard footsteps behind him.
“Escaping the party, Admiral?”
“Yes...”
“Me too.” The guest extended a hand. “Captain Andrei Petrokov, a pleasure.”
“Likewise.” said the admiral.
“The Fleet has conquered yet another planet. And Admiral Cervidas has again fired the first shots. How does that make you feel?”
“Its just a job, Captain. One day, you will reach that point. I don’t care about doing things first, or doing it fast. All I care about is that it gets done, and with minimal casualties.”
“But this isn’t just a job, Admiral. You had to have considered at one point that you are on the living edge of the Empire. You fire the shots that change the maps.”
“That had occurred to me, but look out there. The planet is the same. The moons, just the same. The flag that flies over it is all that has changed. The people now get to read something different in the news. Trust me, the planet is far from taken. It takes months to settle down. I doubt they will be instantly pacified by a new force that swept aside their defenses. These people are desperate.”
The captain considered this carefully. “Desperate?”
“Yes, desperate. Tell me Captain, are you familiar with the game of chess?”
“I am, yes.”
“When the game is nearing the end, in my experience at least, the defeated faction realizes that the end is near, and they strike out with such vicious desperation that it can take many turns before the King is finally captured. Often times it can change the tide of the war. Valuable pieces are sacrificed in the name of a dwindling cause.” The captain looked thoughtful. The Admiral turned to him, glass in hand. “They sacrificed their flagship. They knew when they sent their fleet the game was up. They just went out in a blaze of glory. The men on that ship will go down in history; the men on ours will be forgotten. Yes captain, they know the end is near. What more will be sacrificed? Will it result in a stalemate? Frankly captain, I’m afraid for the Empire.”
The captain looked shaken. “Admiral…could you possibly be wrong? I mean…war is war, nothing is certain.”
“Some things are more certain than we would all like to think.” The admiral set his glass on a counter, and walked out of the observation deck. As he walked into his chambers, he felt the blasts rock the ship. He grinned as he was engulfed in flames.



Sorry if the spacing and things seem a bit weird, it didn't keep everything when i copied it over. lemme know what you thought!

Entry 8

The Invisible man is such a stupid book.

Why didn't i finish 1984? I loved it, and i didn't get to finish it, and now we're reading a stupid book and i'm more inclined to finish it. I need good grades, so i need to read, but i needed them earlier when i read 1984. Grah. oh well.

Anyway, the book is stupid.

Right about now, im taking a break. I just read 30 pages of Invisible man, finished outlining answers for "Letter from a birmingham Jail", and wrote my thesis sentence for history. I also thought of a really cool Story idea. Sci-fi, of course. I'll elaborate below:

Not sure what to call it yet, but its after my story with the Electron Plague, centered around the Kherdiin Federation. Probably can go after some of my other stories too. Anyway, the Kherdiin Federation expands, and they find this system that has not been colonized. so they send a recon crew to investigate, see if its possible, and they realize that its already inhabited. Aliens from another galaxy came into the galaxy and colonized it. they have superior technology, but not without its problems.

See, the Aliens strike at Kherdiin, since its the closest thing to them, and eventually make their way to the capital, where a large fleet is massed in response to the threat. Heavy losses on both sides, because the aliens have shields to deflect lasers, but not projectile weapons. and the Kherdiin have armor to deflect projectile weapons, but not lasers. So both sides take heavy losses, and eventually both sides change their technologies to deflect projectiles AND lasers, and the story i forsee will end at the human attack against the alian homeworld, or...adoptive homeworld. Capital.

Anyway, i think that would be an interesting book. i started drawing concepts for it. Should be fun. :D i think i'll post some of my stories on here, eventually.

Entry 7

So, snow day today. Not too shabby. I did absolutely nothing. In fact, i probably did NEGATIVE work. But video games are fun. So is nationstates. and cleaning. Ok, nevermind. i did stuff. just no school work. I will later.

Bah. Today was pretty lame, despite its awesomeness.

The End.

Swell!

SNOW DAY!

AZW3(Nationstates)

So, i'm up late, i mays well provide the world with an abridged history of the Third Andro-Zaran War.

It was fairly quick, but heres how it went down:

Erid'Lor, my arch nemesis from AZW1, had a civil war which resulted in a genocidal maniac coming to power. Coincidence that she was a woman? I think not :P (Just kidding! hence the ":P") Anyway, she was all "ima conquer you sucka" and i'm all like "Oh noes, my continent!" and he's all like "Shut yo face" and i'm all like "ima busta cap!" That is to say, He started conquering the nations around him, and i figured it was my duty to defend Andresia from the zaran threat, seeing as i'm the closest one TO him. So i send the full force of my miltiary on him, and my buddy Verenberg does the same, and several other factions give me troops: among them Brachion, Ialocin, and the Tellarian Empire (my vassal state, at the time). I use the troops, blitzkreig their ass, then pull out for reasons i can't entirely recall. I think it had something to do with the Helghan Empire putting some stick about. anyway, it resulted in Verenberg occupying the Erid'Lorian oil fields, and Erid'Lor getting obliterated.

Erid'Lor decided to start over, so that he could have a fresh start and not screw up. but he's at it again, pledging to bring Genocide and conflict with him to Novreal. XD what a loser-face! he's gunna get his butt kicked. *sigh* what a beautiful thing, idiocy is. The guys a 12 year old kid from like...california or singapore or something. i'm not sure. but he's a loser. and a really lousy RPer but he's been there longer than me so i can't tell him to go away.

but thats that.

Entry 6

Boy do i hate Ms. Sutherland.

Heres why-

She went over budget, and now complains about not having the money to do things
She doesn't teach us. She expects us to do it by ourselves, since we are wind Ensemble. But telling us why we do things wrong isn't enough, ms. S. Try helping every now and then.
She Does not plan ahead. She only allocated time for like 4 rehearsals, and the last 2 have been cancelled, and as i predicted, she's panicking. It was hilarious! she was very mean to certain students though, this guy Kerven Benoit who plays the french horn pretty poorly, she let him INTO wind ensemble KNOWING that he sucked, and then singled him out for being bad and blamed him. THATS being B****y, in my opinion. *fumes*

Anyway, lets see, English was fun, GERMAN! ah, german, that was the most fun i've had in that class in a long time.

We were learning words for clothes, and doing some Model show. it was horrible, but hilarious. I made fun of this guy for being communist (even though he isn't. i dunno why he gets so uppity about it) and everyone walked down the middle of the class with smooth music playing and the lights turned off and the projector playing funny colors and stuff. this guy named Marcus hid shorts in his pants, and pulled them out in a comical fashion, much to the amusement of everyone in the class.

Math analysis was painful. we have a test coming up, i need to study for that.

Nationstates news: I consulted my military saavy dad, who said of the strategies i proposed, Operation Maelstrom would be the best. I told my allies, and they are on board. Its goign to be a 1-2 punch kind of thing, Im going to take that territory while my buddy Verenberg (currently in charge of Magilan) does a beeline for the capital.

Not much else to report.

Boy do i hate ms. sutherland

boy do i want snow tomorrow.

Entry 5

Another day....

Lets see whats in store:

Morning
Math
German
Lunch
English
Band.

*shudders*

band

Sutherlands gunna be pissed that the WE rehearsal was cancelled. but sucks to be her for not allowing a contingency plan. *shakes fist*

As for everything else, i'm anticipating a smooth day. bus ride home should be fun. hopefully whats-iz-face isn't on.

Bah, i can drive this, but noooo. too icy. -.-

Thus, the earth is saved.

Tactics

So in my pending war against South Totowa, i'm not sure what to do. I was thinking i could do one of 2 things: Not attack, or Attack. Duh.

But theres no way i can get my navy all the way to the oil fields without getting into a scuffle. I'll post some strategy maps.

This is the map for Operation Maelstrom. The Red numbers are my Naval Battlegroups, the white lines are my infantry, and the Blue lines are my transport aircraft. The strategy is to move Battlegroup 1 into position in the Sovren gulf, off the coast of Neu Wien, have an amphibious landing there and march them into Totowa. Battlegroup 5 will serve as reinforcement if needed, and landing area for any and all aircraft that need it. Battlegroup 4 will protect the southern flank, navally speaking. Battlegroup 3 will protect the bay area, while 2 bombards the city known as Kama.

With that naval set up, i'll airlift my troops into the mountains, and set up artillery positions to bombard various cities. After sufficient bombardment, i'll march my troops in to occupy them. Probably primarily Shinsi and Wutai. Shushu and Ataro will be taken by Infantry originating from Battlegroups 3 and 1, respectively. From that point i will hold that territory, and Be a thorn in the side of the Totowans. By taking that territory, i would need good relations with Magilan and Galidra to prevent them from making troop movements, and i would need good naval support, because their navy just might be better than mine. I really dont know. This will take them by suprise, seeing as their forces are concentrated on conquering territory#16 and the accompanying Oil.

Next is Operation Hail Mary


Hail Mary is essentially the same general tactic as Maelstrom, which is to take the one territory and hold it. The tactic is different though- by creating a blockade to the south, and preventing any major naval conflicts (i assume there is no naval presence in the area, but i can take care of it before creating the blockade). I'll use the Andro-Zaran railway to get the bulk of my troops in the vicinity quickly, while using naval landings to take Kama, Ataro, and Shushu quickly. I will then use my major force to take the remaining Wutai and Shinshi, and then readjust my troops so that the bulk is on the borders.

The Final strategy i will bore you with is Operation Lincoln


Operation Lincoln is aimed at dividing South Totowa in half, separating them completly. The hope is that once i get my navy in position, i'll be able to do a naval landing and an Airlift. I hope to take The coastal cities of Sengoku, Tetsuyo, Koku, and Shushu fairly quickly. Naval Battlegroup 3 will land troops on the coast between Tetsuyo and Koku, and they will move north and take Akira. This will divide Totowa, and force them to Concentrate their forces on one of the two fronts, because they can't attack on both fronts infinitely. and by having the superior defensible positions, we can last much longer than they can. If things go bad, my troops can retreat to the territory i occupy in all the other strategies, and defend from there if necessary.

Thats all for now. if you have an opinion, let me know, please. i'm still trying to figure out if i should go to war at all.

*gasp*

ITS SNOWING!!!!!

Entry 4

Today was satisfactory. and its not over yet, i may have to add another entry later.

Uneventful, lame, boring, and interesting. Thats all. Lunch is my favorite.

but nothing of note actually happened.

*shrugs*

Maybe i'll write about AZW3 when i get back from the band thing tonight. 6-8pm! w00t.

I should really take some time to write better stuff. SORRY!

AZW2(Nationstates)

So, i'm really bored, and the Second Andro-Zaran war is pretty interesting.

It started with the introduction of the phony religion "Hadarism" to the game. It was lead by the Novid (Pope) who happened to be an extremist. Which was interesting. So Theyst was the first Hadarite Nation in the eyes of the Novid, and second was The Tellarian Empire. Coincidentally, Erid'Lor was having a(nother) civil war, this one involved a communist rebellion. Anyway, everyone jumped on the chance to kick Erid'Lor while he was down, so OTE (The guy in charge of Tellarian empire) went on a Crusade in the name of Hadar (God). The Tellarian Empires leader, Kaiser Peter Callert I, became mad with power, and declared himself a Reincarnation of Hadar, if not Hadar himself. That was blasphemy, the Novid excommunicated him, Theyst fell into civil war, the Emperor Viktor Andreanov, his vice president Wade Kasen, and the Extremist Novid were all assassinated, Theyst went under Martial Law, and Theyst, Erid'Lor, and Ialocin all formed forces to assault the Tellarian homeland. Eventually, one Magilan decided that enough was enough, and told everyone to retreat or be forced to retreat so Magilani forces could take care of things.

Tellaria has never been the same since.

They became a protectorate almost immediately after the war ended (OTE had RL issues and left me in control) and only recently they were absorbed into the Theyst Republic.

Notes on the aftermath: Ialocin was bankrupt due to the vast expenditures that went into their army, Theysts Elections were won by the Sneed Faction candidate Sheldon Sneed and his vice president Weldon Weed (recreations of 2 people my dad knew when he was a kid and in the Ham Radio Club. Weed wasn't really his last name though, and Sheldon Sneed died this summer.)

So Theyst returned to the republic, and prospered Ever since, despite the AZW4.

Funny...

Just thought this was worth laughing at

AZW1(Nationstates)

For lack of anything better to write about, i'll write a breif history of the First Andro-Zaran War.

It essentially resulted in the royal pwnage of the Theyst Republic, and ended up with Theyst turning into an Empire.

So it started out with the T3 Defense Initiative, formed by my former ally Totowa, my recent aquisition The Tellarian Empire, and myself. (Totowa, Tellaria, Theyst- T3). We had a number of Secret Conferences which my arch-nemesis, Erid'Lor, was disobeying the rules and looking at them and acting on our secret conversations. That disgruntled us, so Totowa and I readied for war. It was really unlucky on my part- Totowa started some things, and i followed through, made battle maps and whatnot, and began the invasion of Erid'Lor. Totowa decided to leave at that point, so i bore the brunt of the war all by my lonesome. After some horrible god-moding on everyones part, the result was this:

Erid'Lorian Capital: destroyed completly by erid'lorian airforces
Theyst Army: Heavy Casualties
Theyst Capital: Heavy damage, many if not all political leaders dead
Theyst city of Atlas: Occupied by Verenberg troops (then allies of Erid'Lor)
Wulfenstein troops: Occupied Theyst Capital
Erid'Lorian Troops: Heavy casualties

Essentially Theyst is occupied by two foreign forces, except for one tiny part where Refugee City was made, it became known as the Free Empire of Theyst, lead by one Viktor Andreanov. As for Erid'Lor, they were left in a state of Chaos that he didn't know how to recover from, so it lasted pretty much until a couple weeks ago when he moved his country to start over. To give you a sample of the time frame, the occupation which lasted for WEEKS ended on December 7th

So the occupation lasted a really long time- Verenberg limited my troop numbers and demanded comission on all trade. which sucked. but i had a lousy military by comparison, so i had to take it.

Eventually, i got rid of the comission and everything, and that almost led to the Second Andro-Zaran war, but thats not how it REALLY happened. I'll post various histories in my spare time in the future. But thats that for the First Andro-Zaran war.

Entry 3

So, today wasn't too bad. Everything went smoothly, and there was an FBLA meeting with icecream cake at the end. swell!

Haven't checked NS any time soon, so not much news there. until later, that is.

Umm....drivings going well, getting my grades back up. The outlook is, if only breifly, quite nice. like this weather. i listened to my YES CD very loudly on the way home, and that was quite enjoyable.

Yeah, so thats it.

Entry 2

Holy smokes! Everything was translating into Hindi! Sorry 'bout that Ganesh, but this blog aint for you.

Moving on. Mays well give a brief synopsis of what Nationstates is, how i'm associated with it, and then i'll continue.

NATIONSTATES: Online nation simulator, gives you text based issues that change how your nation is described. Most of the action is on Forums, which is awesome, because i happen to be the Prime Minister of one region known as "Caprecia". Though, since my grades have currently slumped (remember Enron?) my activity on it has been less than i want it to be. though i've been getting on alot lately.

ANYWAY, my buddy South Totowa, on Zara: he's gone all "Ima conquer you, sucka" and i'm all like "oh noes, my oil!" and he's all like "shut yo face" and i'm all "ima bust a cap!". That is to say, he's conquering everything he can, and no ones stopping him because he's not conquering any PEOPLE. but he took my oil, which is off the coast of #16 on that map, if you looked at it. So i said i'd send my navy to secure it, but theres no flippin way! And by the way, i'm THEYST, on the left side of that map. Heck, i'll just post it here.

There we go. Thats Totowa, somewhere around the South Eastern part of the map, and theres Theyst on the West side of the map. i need to update that, because i recently absorbed the Tellarian Empire. I'm a huge box shaped republic. like america, only somewhere else.

Anyway, thats some conflict. i've been thinking about bluffing, and making him nervous, but i dont think i'm going to. its just oil. i have enough.

So thats that for the Nationstates Scene.

My family and i just played Settlers of Catan. i won. PWNED! it was fun.

Thats all. this will proably be the longest post i ever make.

Entry 1

Step one- change font.

Step 2: Choose language. I'm thinking using a cheap russian translator might be fun. but it probably wont show up. So no.

Step 3: get content.

Ok, slightly more difficult. The concept was to make a lighter version of my LJ. i dont think i'll be able to keep this up to begin with, but its worth a try. So...what do i put in here? News from NS? that would require daily updates. But so would posting lighter versions of my day, which i usually describe as Lame, annoying, uneventful, cool, or fun. Not too shabby.

The only things i really go in depth with aren't thinks that you, the untrained observer, would be interested in. So i guess i'll just improvise. *shrugs*. not like i have time for these things anyway. Its all your fault, tuberculosis. All your fault.

That concludes this initial entry, which too shall be classified as "LAME". lemme jazz that up a bit.

LAME

That works for now
