  • You think so lowly of us Winty! I'd be fine with writing articles about us!
    In fairness, I've tried not once, but twice. You can't blame me for being a little pissy about it at this point. :P

    tru..... But if you need I can write you one when need be, write a part on our Minecraft status and civ stuff.(speaking of civ I'm available to host one at any point this weekend and virtually all of next week.)
    End of Time

    I remember there in the dawn,
    When the suns rose and rose,
    That never could I know,
    A sight more grand than this.

    Now I sit here in the dusk,
    While the suns die and die,
    That never will I see a sight more sad,
    Or a sight more beautiful.

    (Thought I'd pop in and say hello)
    How sweet and thoughtful! Thank you! :D

    Things aren't bad overall...sorry we haven't gotten a dispatch to you in ages. I think some people would rather have root canals than write articles about the region. :P

    Don't worry about it, I know you are all very busy!

    I'd definitely prefer to write the article than have a root canal though!

    I'm sure that's why they made you the delegate...willing to do the tough work. :P

    Actually I recall you were delegate over there before...how has your latest experience in the role been so far?

    The following is a Special Notification from 10000 Islands.

    XKI Founder, Grub, to retire after 14 years at helm. Woonsocket named successor.

    Quote
    A Message from Grub:
    After 14 plus years in the 10000 Islands, I feel that the time has come for me to step down as Founder of the 10000 Islands & let someone else lead this great region. I made this decision about a while back, but wanted to let it sit in to make sure that I am comfortable with actually stepping away. I have loved being your Founder, but I have not been able to put the time into NationStates lately & the region deserves better. The great thing is that the 10000 Islands is not just successful from the contributions of one, but from all of you.

    So, as is my duty according to Article 2.2 of the XKI Constitution, I am naming @woonsocket  to be the next Founder of the 10000 Islands. Over the next few weeks I will help Woonsocket make the transition to Founder & he will eventually take over the Grub account. I am confident that the 10000 Islands will be in great hands with Woonsocket & I hope to see the 10000 Islands maintain its place as a great region in NationStates.

    Once the transition is over & the reigns have been fully handed over to Woonsocket, I will effectively be retiring from NationStates. I will still probably pop my head in time to time to check & see how things are going over here. Before I go, I also wanted to say thank you to all of the great friends & nations that have been part of the Islands over the last 14 years.

    In looking back, we were once a sleepy little region with 20+ nations when one night we were attacked without reason by a region called the Empire of Power. Back then, an attack like that would completely destroy a region. The night of the attack I went all over NationStates asking for assistance. Lots of regions ignored our requests, but a few stood up & fought along side us in one of the epic battles in NationStates history. Regions like Texas, the Urbanites, the Heartland, The Rejected Realms Army, and several others came to our defense that night. We remain in their debt for the help they gave us that night.

    Since that time, the 10000 Islands has tried to help other regions in the same way that those others came to help us more than 14 years ago.
    The 10000 Islands/TITO has helped to defend over a thousand different regions with over 2,700 successful missions & with Woonsocket in charge, that will continue.

    It has been my great honor & pleasure to serve as your Founder. I wish the 10000 Islands much success & I am confident that the best is yet to come for this great region!

    Long live the 10000 Islands! Long live TITO! Long live Woonsocket!

    Grub

    The Co9, and TITO Command assure all our allies and friends across nation-states that the handover is going smoothly. We remain steadfastly committed to maintaining, building, and defending these alliances, and forging new ones wherever possible. We welcome you all to join us as we celebrate and honor Grub for his hard work and commitment, and welcome in Woonsocket as our new executive founder.

    I'm sorry to hear that Grub is stepping down...it must have been a tough decision to step down as founder of one of the largest and most successful user-created regions in NationStates. XKI has stood the test of time, and I'm sure it was hard to step down from something that's been a part of his life for so long and expect it to continue to go on without him in the thick of it. Letting go is never easy for anyone, and I imagine it's less so after 14 years. But I'm sure it will, and I wish both XKI and Grub the best in the future. :)
