Thank You for 10 Years NationStates!

[Saint Block]

I for one, am feeling quite cheerful. Despite whatevery one else is posting. I have had a great time on this site overall. I’ve made many friends in the game that have turned into friends outside of it. The adventures I’ve been a part of, the tales I’ve seen unfold, being able to watch everyone go about their NS careers; it’s all quite exhilarating looking back on it all after 10 years.

I suppose it's better if you keep that smiling disposition and don't crack, elsewise you'll be up to your balls in angry jugglers even worse than now. That's how it happens, you show weakness for even a second, and then BAM! The mob sees blood, and you're done for.

This is NationStates Gameplay, tell me something I don’t know.

Microwaves are a significant health risk, and you should cook with baking ovens, toaster ovens, stove tops, and other cooking methods that do not heat molecules through radiation. Maybe you didn't know that, but I figured some friendly advice on this anniversary would lighten the mood. :^)

[Saint Block]

Ha! Thank you for that. I was hoping for some lightheartedness. But this is gameplay where everyone is either grumpy or bitter. It doesn’t help that I’ve been controversial throughout my time here.

[Tim-Opolis]

Those are some nice logs you have there. I’m glad to see that you’re still great at photoshop, pal.

Keep digging your grave, forum crasher. Oh, let's not forget that's far from the only bit of impropriety you've gotten banned for, so you might want to start apologizing for quite a lot more things.

And the title sounded so cheerful, too.

That's because this "cheerful" reject's M.O is to come back every couple years pretending to be reformed, until one look under the hood shows it's the same old rotten individual who has earned bans from most anywhere that's respectable.

There's folks well beyond the point where they're worth forgiving or trusting as rehabilitated, and Block crossed that point years ago.

[Saint Block]

I have done nothing I feel is worth apologizing over. There’s plenty of people who have done far worse than I ever have, and continue to do so; and are still welcomed. I’m just your favorite punching bag. It’s okay Tim, I can hack it.

I don't see any evidence of the logs being Photoshopped.

[Saint Block]

My oldest friend that is still around, Avakael is quite good, isn’t he?

[Pergamon]

Oh my, it's you again. Long time no see

[Saint Block]

Hey buddy! It’s been a while. I’m glad The Order is still treating you as well as you treat it.

[Ambrella]

Not sure why your nation in Europeia, you're not welcome. That has been remedied.

[Saint Block]

Thank you Ambrella, this trip to Kandy Land was pretty good. BBQ is as great as ever. Can’t say how many times I’ve made my rounds through here.

[Greater vakolicci haven]

Good luck in the future. I get why most people don't like you from the posts, however I've really not had experience enough to judge.

[Taliostia]

I've been on NationStates for over a month now and I like it. This website is fun to use and great people to to talk to.

I just wanted to apologize for all of the OOC stuff man, out of respect to our past friendship. I don’t expect anything in return. I just want to apologize. After some self reflection, I do feel bad about my OOC actions towards you. I won’t even try to excuse myself.

I fully intended to get around to replying to your DM eventually. Probably with a reply along the lines of "that's good, but it's not really me that you need to apologize to, all you did was nonsensically threaten to run me out of the game, whereas some of your other comments and actions really hurt people." Then I saw this -

I have done nothing I feel is worth apologizing over. There’s plenty of people who have done far worse than I ever have, and continue to do so; and are still welcomed. I’m just your favorite punching bag. It’s okay Tim, I can hack it.

Kind of undercuts your apologies when you turn around and say that you have nothing to apologize for, mate.

[Saint Block]

That’s because you’re the only apology I felt I needed to make, and it was already being handled, pal.

[Arkesia]

Ha! Thank you for that. I was hoping for some lightheartedness. But this is gameplay where everyone is either grumpy or bitter. It doesn’t help that I’ve been controversial throughout my time here.

I haven't been on NS long, but from what I can tell, 'controversial' is putting it lightly.

[Saint Block]

Some make a bigger of issue of things than they should is all that is.

[Conquerus]

Hi Block! Long time no see! You're still welcome on the TI discord.

[Saint Block]

Thank you, Conquorus. I’m glad to see you’re still doing well. Thank you for taking over for me, and the invitation to return. I’m sorry to let you know that I’ve closed the TI chapter in my life and have moved on. I’m grateful for all Gest and the rest have done for me, and I’ll never forget that.

[Consular]

Just leave. You're clearly not welcome.

Microwaves are a significant health risk

No they aren't. Not unless you're literally living in one for some dumb reason

Not sure why your nation in Europeia, you're not welcome. That has been remedied.

Lol

[Wycliffe]

I think most people here have gotten the right idea about Block and why he should never, ever be allowed to return to the Gameplay scene. Absolutely no remorse shown for his incredibly harmful acts, and a flippantly defiant attitude towards the people and communities he's hurt. I'll be sinking back into obscurity now- GP is better than this. Try not to dignify him with more attention in the future.
