    Timeline - Graph of every TNP Delegate since 2008 until today

    Sup Punk! Speaking as someone who became active in the PRP Jan 2005, I actually missed most of the cool stuff. Peak NS was 2003 to 2005. We were still sorting out philosophical questions of how feeders should be run, to what extent feeder sovereignty should apply, etc. These early gameplay...

    Timeline - Graph of every TNP Delegate since 2008 until today

    Oh wait, I found it. Anyway, I made another timeline programmatically, with tooltips and stuff. I whipped this up in about an hour with little stylistic creativity, so I think Vivanco's is prettier. Data comes from the NS API so it only goes back to 2009. LINK...

    Sir Kasto Must be Recalled Immediately

    OK alls you gotta do is get into the delegacy, then give me your nation. The trick here is that I don't want to put forth any effort whatsoever. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

    Favorite TNP Delegate of all time?

    Some of the ADN maneuvers of that era were pretty incredible (AFAIK, SoS was PH and Lungwallabad was some other ADN person, but not 100% sure). Puppetmaster (the liberation maneuver against Great Bight) was another example. Unfortunately while their spec ops were top notch, ADN's public...

    <3 Oh my GOD, it's Durk's memoirs!!! <3

    Kid from 2004/2005 famous for animated waving US flag avatars and trying to port the US constitution to regions in NS. At the time, no one took him seriously, but I thought he was unwittingly hilarious. I think he helped write TNP's first constitution after the Directorate. I'm not sure how...

    PART 4: LIBERATING OSIRIS Only a few months later. Usiris. The Osiris Imperium. Whatever you want to call it, my final 'illegitimate' GCR regime would last for exactly one month, which would be my final and longest duration coup of my career. The Dourian Embassy lost some stupid forum...

    PART 3: THE UNIBOT AND JAL DREAM TEAM The year was 2010. I had recently finished college, and should have been interviewing for jobs amidst the financial crisis. But instead of doing that, why not play a dying browser-based political simulator instead? Yep, let's put off my RL career and...

    JAL. Durk. Poo Dynasty. Ladies' Man. One of the most storied and beloved players of all time. An unparalleled career spanning nine years (2004-2013); five mostly lawful and popular GCR delegacies; thousands upon thousands of mostly legal and rightful ejections; and winner of the hearts and...
