Wow a lot of familiar faces! :)

Reploid Productions - glad to see you're still here keeping everyone in line! How's it going?

G-tech - hello! Yes, I remember you salvaging the GRA's RP section, and then basically becoming the King of RP across the game! In fact I think we were in government together. How're things?

Jakker - yes I best dig it out! I couldn't quite remember what flag I used to use but now you've reminded me. How're you?

Wabbitslayah - Delegate of TRR I see! Good for you. How the devil are you?

Wopruthien - Hello! How goes the FRA? Are any more old friends still around? How's your life?

All - what's happened in NS in the last 4 years?

Passable, passable. Can’t complain. I spend my days chasing children around P2TM (was it around when you were here?) these days more than doing anything offsite, that’s for certain.

The last four years have been centered around Lazarene shenanigans, new mods promoted, several DOS, one of which shook all of Gameplay, the Pacific is The Pacific as always, and, yeah, a lot has happened that will require an Onderwall or a Uniwall to explain it all.

Yo, JB! WE have dissolved the FRA, and in exchange, Onder has given defenders the region of TSP.

Wop, Dyr and Guy have all been commended, just leaving you and Fratt to go on miserably unrecognized.

The Grey Wardens came back and lasted longer than a few months.

"Joe Bobs did nothing wrong" has become an unofficial slogan of mine.

And TBH got blessings to take over FRAvision which is now RaiderVision, and you’re just in time for it too! Submissions are open right now.

Defender awards got salvaged by defenders, too.

Well, The Black Riders got in trouble a few times with the mods, the ones in charge made a shitty version of DEN (and whatever Cimmeria is), used a highly illegal script and managed to get half a dozen people DoS, at least a dozen others with some length of WA-ban, and the latter two regions mod-deleted.

TBH got a second Condemnation

Lazarus got couped a couple times

There was probably some other important stuff that happened, but I can't remember what

I mean, you could also include round one of TBR bans, and hence Bob + Halc The bit that made them go founderless in the first place. And if you count another person or two that probably *should* have been DoS, avoided it, but faded from the game anyways...there's a half dozen

However becoming an unofficial slogan of yours, BT, seems an even higher place in history. :p Though that suggests someone else is saying I did do something wrong... what did I do?

FRAvision was great, I'm glad it lives on. I remember my GRA entry to the tune of the Cheers theme, good times.

So are the old FRA crowd in TSP now? I might have to head over and say hello.

It looks like the largest PCRs haven't changed much in the last 4 years, well done to 10K Islands and Europeia for holding those population levels, not an easy thing to do! I don't remember any PCRs in the old days holding those kind of populations over such a long time.
