I love strategy and political intrigue. NS provides a channel to express such interest.

It is not, "Where do I play NationStates," it is, "WHY do I play NationStates."

You don't know how to read, right? I said why I play NS. I goof off or debate in it. You really should, and this is just a suggestion, learn to read properly. :roll:

On NationStates
There is a fascist killing communists
and liberating the gulags, the best he can do.
All the people that come and go, try to intervene...
In F7, There's a Fuehrer with a Castle.
And little children laugh at him behind his back
And the Bistro is always full of fun
Very strange.
NationStates, is in my ears and in my eyes...
We're beneath gray globe-decorated skies!
in NationStates, there's a moderator with a banhammer, and in her pocket, is the picture of Max Barry. She likes to keep her banhammer clean, it's a clean machine.

Now this is a story all about how,
My nation got flipped turned upside down,
I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became Fuhrer of a land called F7.

International Incidents, born and raised,
In Earth II where I spent most of mah days,
Invading, Roleplaying, looking all cool,
Shooting up some commies outside of mah home.
When a couple of mods, they were up to no good,
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood.
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared,
And said 'your moving with your auntie and uncle in F7'

I TG'd for a region and when it came near the
World Factbook Entry said 'fresh' and there was spam in the RMB
If anything I could say this region was rare,
But I thought nah, forget it, yo homes to F7!

I pulled up to a forum, about seven or eight,
And I yelled to the delegate 'Yo homes, smell ya later!'
Looked at my castle I was finally there,
To sit on my throne as the Fuhrer of F7.


Hath's backstory in poetic form?

I play because, while online, I prefer to be in a place like this, where there are interesting people, and interesting things going, and where I can express myself and present points that I can't do anywhere else, as opposed to hanging out on facebook or something looking at what my 'friends' are up to and what they are thinking about and doing and shit like that. I can be with my friends in real life, Not online as well, which Is why here is a good place to be, and I like being here.

I love this place. You guys are so funny. I love the atmosphere, especially F7. Some people on here are like friends to me. I feel close to some you guys, even though most of you are thousands of miles away. I also like to write, so, this place is sort of like a place where I can build up my writing skills to the point where I want them to be.

And thanks again. Keep on posting, folks!

Now, here is another reason why I play NationStates.

I play it for character RP's, wars, and peace, and RPing gives you an ability, to mold your nation to your will.
