When I first rediscovered NationStates, I was going through hard times. To an extent I still am. The forums and gameplay only seemed to depress me more and I was obsessed with finding a region. I had finally walked across TIO as it was also recommended. I was immediately enthralled by the great RP. I mean, don't know if this sounds stupid but the RP and the region generally helped me pull through. Seemed like the only thing at the time and along with meeting some really nice people here that 're-sparked' a great sense of creativity not only in writing but other things. To an extent, I believe my obsession and interaction with the community may have even saved my life, serving as a distraction from unpleasant thoughts.

Even though I know I can be difficult in RP(switching around all the time), I hope it's not too much of a pain =P Anyway, just thought I should get that off my chest. That this region has some personal meaning for me, though I feel I've been lacking in RP generally. Think I'd just like to thank the community. Perhaps more than you know, you've all helped :)

Your story of RPing and your experiences with the TIO somehow serves as an inspiration and is heart-warming in a way. Although I'm still new to TIO, I'm very happy to be a part of your experience (somehow).... :D :D

I'd like to thank TIO as well, being a former refugee from a region constantly torn by conflict, the users and RP are amazing. I've learned so much from being here, and I've found that this place helps me become more creative as well.

Right, it's no secret I have a problem... >_> <_<

So, I'm disenchanted with Toshikawa, I only brought it back to satisfy historical dependencies in the first place(jesus christ ever hear of stand-in NPCs????). NA was an utter failure because of reasons I don't feel like ranting about right now. Meshika is the docket for a test run and I have a million other concepts going through my head. It's no secret that I have been increasingly disenchanted with the RP in general and have thought about taking a long leave for a while.

Creating new nation's is my attempt to respark interest somehow.

So, I'm adding a poll so I don't get a flurry of negative feedback from the community.

I know I ain't part of the forum community, but I would like to say something. I would like to thank you Gad, you are super cool, funny, and honestly always are great to be around on irc. I enjoy talking to you when I can, and you have given a lot more back to me than I have to you, so I should be thanking you really. Perhaps I haven't done anything to help, but if that is the case, then nevermind :P But we all love you Gad, glad to have you here and keep being you :D

Sparta: TIO has a tendency to bring out some writing talent and political adjustment ^^

My incredibly awful writing skills have seen some improvement when I was in TIO. Also, being the leader of a new nation really helps you gain new perspectives, not just limited to politics.
