Way back when I was still in XKI, I didn't endorse people who had a tyrannical government type (Psychotic Dictatorship, Iron Fist Consumerists, or Corporate Police State) because I took stats waaaaaaaay too seriously.

I started out in International Incidents as a totalitarian nation that committed a ton of war crimes and other atrocities (slavery, genocide, etc.) for seemingly no reason other than the lulz. As well as having some really cringe ideas about how ethnic nationalism was a good idea.

As the Planet Onora I transitioned from a Planetary Constitutional Monarchy into a Peaceful-Feme-Fascist Regime and was serious at that time due to a lot of teen issues regarding a shame for being male, a disgust at the civil and foreign conflicts around, and a desire for someone to bring an order to it all.

Teenagehood is... really a terrible time for one's mind... I should know since, as a player new to P2TM I ended up learning to stop hating myself thanks to the friends I met here who helped me in a very dark time.

So when I started and was at the nation-making process, I chose Zeloria because it sounded like a nation-name or something. But when I started establishing an identity on, my name became less fitting with my nation. I now have to justify why a space civilization is called "Zeloria". Speaking about establishing an identity, because of the "make a meme about AL" thread, I decided to make my nation more "memey", and I cringe everytime I think back about it.

500 years ago, the universe saw an apocalypse that destroyed most spacefaring lifeforms caused by self-replicating machines, the universe went into a dark age until species that weren't advanced enough for the machine-swarm to detect started travelling into space. It is now the 23rd century, the universe is currently at 'peace'. Will this 'peace' last, or will this new universe end up like the last one?

On my first time here, I wasn’t very mature or even polite. Frequently, I messed with people, intentionally annoying them. To be frank, I was a cringey jerk ass who took delight in annoying everyone. Especially the mods.

I eventually saw my behavior was useless and rude. With time, I learned from my mistakes and improved myself.

- Thinking Aleutes is a valid short version for the Aleutian Islands
- That one time I thought making a thread about the Kuril Islands in General was a good idea
- When I posted in a thread without knowing it was not PG-13 because I didn't finish reading the OP
- My 70+ dispatches about this nation, completely chaotic, a fifth being called "test" or "WIP"
- My first RMB RP posts and my first forum posts
- Pretty sure my existence on this platform belongs on this list too-

When I created my First Nation, Fundon, being a n00b I sent a Recruitment TG to someone. Not only did I not mark it as a Recruit, I also just said this: “Do you want to join Fundon?” Evidently I didn’t understand how recruiting worked, but I’m much better now.

There are good RPs at P2TM.

It isn't for everyone, however, which I understand.

Yugoslavia's back baby...

How the hell did this happen?
Well...we don't actually know. Just sort of happened one day.
Is it a reunited Yugoslavia in the 21st century? Is a rebel colony world in the far future? Is it a race of cyborg neo-life at war with any assimilating organisms they come across in the far far future? Who knows, who cares?

The cringiest thing I did was shitpost and get in forum feuds while not being old enough to actually understand how to do either of those things. Shoutout to anyone who remembers the postwhore.com image site.

Spent a lot of posts spanning several pages complaining and arguing about the price tag of the Access to Abortion proposal. The biggest mistake I've made, assuming serious economic principles and models in an RP world where magic is real and galactic empires can powerwank resources out of nowhere.

Edit: Also all of my national information dispatches are also unimaginative cringe.
