Partially my new bio that explains most of my activity around here, but there were a few major events that really carved up a tonne of good posts long before the new system switch. Part of last year has gotten me into the modding mood in games, well only one such game I truly adored for years at the expense of being unable to finish the lore about my former planet. Many of us said in their heads that 2018 was indeed the golden year, especially because of my near-constant rivalry with @[deleted]'s maritime alliance over a single little thing in the middle of a very nasty, yet heroic first RP I made the year before that. There is still no sign of a peace treaty, and I cannot be sure whether both of us would ever come to some sort of compromise for the better or worse. There was a brief truce or two, but it didn't last anyway, because truces are only short-lived agreements or compromises that nearly always guarantee to break.
Then I got into some skittish diplomatic negotiations with Gensokyo, a couple instances ended up having to resolve their never-ending cycle of incidents, and the one that knocked out my planet somehow with a giant cutting-edge sword wielded by a fanatic nature-loving, xenophobic member claiming to be a leader of the Scarlet hierarchy with a superior complex. That was indeed the "last straw of sanity", which caused his fellow loyalists in Eientei to disown him and declared his own return to Chireiden, and from there he stays without doing much. Sometime after that, the environment around where Lucia once stood as a planet became occupied by the very forces that struck it down with ease; some even go as far as to claim that the Lucian race had died out, but not on my watch.
In recent months, I cannot really seem to get @[deleted]'s nation having a new leader despite cooperative efforts, and forgotten to suggest using some sort of naming generator to name a new leader. Not even my artistic improvements catch any attention lately because now we do not have as many active members to go around as it used to. What I can do for now in my head as I type this is setting up the one-in-all nation with nearly all the nations I ever played, mash it up and micro-manage until it meets each of my five leaders' needs, but in the end only one leader takes it up for grabs, ouch. That was also the time the real panic from social media about an unknown virus, and I had not even bat an eye until very lately.
So far, I had not run into any potential troublemakers ever since my old Tripartite died out, it is only trouble enough if a nation grows so big and then starts roaming around the various forums and other regions just to scoop up their own activity for one's gain or a region's particular interest. About roughly 50% the time I spent here posting something good, another quarter of the time tending to my nations' business, and the other quarter dealing with life. Some things just won’t prop up from my mind to reveal it to you publicly to save face, which is why even after three years being here, I still maintain a subtle degree of mysteriousness, but not completely left out. Yet I'm making a real comeback on NationStates in terms of making a five-in-one nation under the Socialist side on a new world, a hybrid race of Lucians and Surians, and my chance to get back on my feet very soon.
Overall, I really cannot wait to start exploring the new planet Suria that is only 700 light years from here due west, I just have to find a proper ID seed and a good colonization spot to begin the Lucian Pentapartite. There has not been one nation from the list of nations going by it; the closest was Five Nations, inspired by the song Five Armies.
Eh, it turns out Suria is a single dark rock ringed planet, but the vegetation should be bluish-green. It's sadly the only planet orbiting a lone small white star.
