Sure, I give out personal info so people can contact me when they need an actress on NS. :roll:

Also, thank you all for the well wishes.
I am actually in grad school right now and had an unprecedented load of academic work. It is sad that I have to go on one of Lazarus' most exciting moments in history, but also still exciting because I had to go due to great formidable future academic mentors. :)

Harmoneia, we all knew that you were going to step down for Milograd within a few months. I just expected the ones in control of Lazarus to be more subtle.
Never underestimate the power of cynicism, pessimism and negativity to prevent terrible things from happening. Only idealists try to build the future on a mountain of bodies.

The Thing to Remember About NationStates is that it is an almost entirely social game - fundamentally, you have no power beyond your own ability to convince people to go along with your ideas. In that sense, even the most dictatorial region is fundamentally democratic.

I know, it's kind of creepy! :P

Thank you, though. :)

Things are going really well for me actually. I like being busy and find the intensity of rigor spent on sleepless nights, hoping to be productive, very exciting.
It's never gonna be easy, but in the end, only excellence matters, and for that, we sometimes have to make sacrifices.

The only thing I knew was that you were going to come up with some outlandish theory to discredit Lazarus.
Of course, yes, "The Ones in Control", shady agents of a foreign power who write scripts for Harmoneia to follow (implying she's a puppet politician, or maybe an easily manipulated figurehead, things which seem strange to anyone knowing her personal history or the history of the region).

Standard rubbish.

I wasn't even the person who came up with it Fratt. I'm just using the script Unibot handed us all. This is his personal melodrama, remember?

This is an internal Lazerene affair Qualor, your analysis of the situation is unwarranted. Then again, you always seem to assume that anyone cares about your wild conspiracy theories.

Rolling your eyes doesn't constitute proof. You're the one making the assertion of being correct in the past. Submit proof.

I already have. Furthermore, the concerted efforts to smear me and pile any thread or accusation I make is proof enough that I'm hitting too close to home. Give it a rest already.

Where?

Furthermore, the concerted efforts to smear me and pile any thread or accusation I make is proof enough that I'm hitting too close to home.

Wait, what?

Asking for proof is not proof that you're correct. I don't like you, yes, but if someone on my side went around making the kind of wild accusations you do about the other side that you do, I'd ask them for proof too. Like a reasonable, logic-minded person, I like proof for assertions. You have made an assertion that your various conspiracy theories about Imperialists have been correct. I'm asking for proof of that assertion, in the same way that I would ask for proof if you asserted anything else. I know you, as a master conspiracy theorist, like to live in a world of supposition, but I like proof.

Give it a rest already

You forget that I enjoy this kind of banter in GP.

"The NPO's Retort" ? Showing NES blatantly admitting he thought he had control over Lazarus and Balder? In addition to the imperialists' attempts to secure power in The West Pacific and Osiris?

Anyone who can't see how they benefited from inserting themselves in the Osi situation is either willfully ignorant or trying to play innocent. They came out with the most gained of the situation. Lets be real here. They just lack the balls to come out and openly do what they're doing through the illusion of "helping". With the Osiris coup they've managed to kill PSSP, gain a foothold in Osiris via NES, and come out looking like the heroes they want everyone to believe they are. Now they have MadJack doing spin control.


I'm back fellas, up your counterintel and get ready for a bumpy ride.
