Thank You for 10 Years NationStates!

[The Grand Ayatollah]

Not sure if we ever crossed paths when I was briefly involved in TBR years back, but I certainly enjoyed the thread. And congrats on ten years. Sounds like you had an illustrious career.

[New Excalibus]

Gosh dang it, I thought this was going to be a fun, happy thread and Block's tone was so friendly... good lord. Did this guy really make this many enemies, while still being so friendly? Good lord.
I think you're all being a bit aggressive, but if Block really did do enough damage to warrant a unanimous "frick you" from Gameplay, I don't even know what he/she even did.

[Tim-Opolis]

The friendliness is an act that he's putting on in an attempt to get back into peoples' good graces.

In terms of what can be mentioned on-site:
- the destruction of two offsite regional forums
- trying to frame other people with that forum destruction
- really disparaging remarks about individuals with PTSD
- usage of Predator, a very illegal script that some invaders used to augment their tag raiding a couple years back

There's some other stuff too, but that sums up the majority of it.

Thanks for clearing that up, Tim. Many thanks. *leaves cookies*

Haters are just fans in denial.

Oh? That's an interesting interpretation

[RiderSyl]

- usage of Predator, a very illegal script that some invaders used to augment their tag raiding a couple years back

Just for the sake of accuracy: Block got swept up in the wave of Predator punishments, but he never used Predator.
That's the only inaccurate thing in your post, though. The rest is, sadly, very true.

[Saint Block]

Oh, my cheerful demeanor is no act. I’m like this all the time unless I am given a reason not to be.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Haters are just fans in denial.

More than one type of denial going around.

[Saint Block]

I’ve been a fuck up my whole damn life. But I’m here to do right. One day maybe you guys will see.

[Klaus Devestatorie]

You know, if you hadn't publicly accused me of conning you into nuking a forum, and claiming that I'd faked the logs "like I always do" (Have I ever even been accused of that? I don't think so...), I'd have probably given you another chance, because Bradley was genuinely a cool dude. But you can't both try and throttle me with a bogus COPS accusation and be my friend. Good luck with trying to be a better person, if that's what you're actually doing. Good luck with Amestris, but I ain't working with someone I can't trust.

[Saint Block]

I’m sorry Avakael. I know this is worthless. But I miss our friendship. I was bitter and playing mind games. I deserve this again as always.

[Unithonia]

I don't understand why he cannot get at least one more break from you guys. I've done things in NS and IRL that I regret, but given another chance I was able to prove that people can change

If you are trying to be a better person, don't worry about what I think of you. Go and make Amestris the coolest place on the planet. While I think very highly of my own opinion, it does not change how good or bad a person you actually are.

[Unithonia]

Can someone explain to me who St Mason is and why they are dead?

[Saint Block]

I do owe it to my region to give it my best shot rather than running away.

They died in real life.

Sounds like he got that already.

[Zaolat]

That's literally none of your business. K thanks.

[Cormactopia Prime]

Are you planning to tell them who you are and everything you've done? Because they deserve to know why your region will be treated like a pariah.

[Third Asopia]

I thought this was going to something like a farewell and like everyone’s like,”Oh my gosh! I hope you will be well for the rest of your life.” And starts to sob, but nah, it’s not like that, I guess?

[Saint Block]

Yes, Cormac. I will.

[Ryccia]

How interesting. An unlikely coalition hates you. Cormac, Koth, Tim, RiderSyl, and I presume many, many others. I cannot attest to these events, as I was not there, but to see Cormac and Tim in complete agreement is something to behold.

I, for one, do not mind seeing ghosts that cannot hurt me. After all, they must disappear, one day.

[King Bradley]

It’s really not that suprising. They are the old Osiris crew after all.

[New Excalibus]

Well, Block, I don't know you that well, but I wish you the best of luck on whatever it is you're planning. In the meantime, we can only make assumptions on what you're going to do based on the past, and while your actions are simply unforgivable, I hope you actually do some good this time around.

[Saint Block]

Thank you for that.
