I will eventually. I have a lot on my plate right now. I just finished the new Syrixian Parliament.
True Sebland:
How did you come up with the name Syrixia?

How did you find nationstates?
1. That's actually a very good question. I used to play an MMORPG called GraalOnline Classic and part of the game is creating "Guilds" with other players. One day, a bunch of people got together and founded a military-themed guild. I eventually joined one of these guilds, and rose to prominence in the military world. Guilds rise and fall, and, seizing the opportunity presented by the fall of The State, the largest military by far, I founded the Syrixian Empire. The name itself I came up with on the fly. Eventually, long after the fall of Syrixia, I found NationStates and quit Graal. I decided to use the old Syrixian Empire as inspiration for my nation, which is the reason NS's Syrixian Empire existed. The rest is history! However, I will say, if you're interested on Graal Military history and stuffs, check out the GraalMilitary Wiki.

2. I got bored one day and searched nation simulation games to sate my thirst for non-boredness. I found NS.
 
True Sebland:
How old are you?

What are your hobbies?
I'm 15, though it's often been said by my family and friends over here in the African savannah that I have the wisdom of an 80 year old.

I like playing NS, making videos for my YouTube channel, browsing Wikipedia out of boredom, and eating grass off the African savannahs. It's actually quite delicious, though IMO the grass by the water holes is the best.

My general age-area guess was right :D
 
Giraffes don't have fingers to type.

And before you ask, nebulae can use mind control to make puny humans type their messages into a computer or smartphone.
 
Giraffe years. For reference, one giraffe year equates to 10 human years.
 
Would you mind enumerating exactly how dragons are superior than giraffes in every possible way? :P

So if you guys can't tell already from my hinting as well as my inactivity from roleplay, I have a fever. With a fever, of course, comes low energy levels and the dreaded WRITERS' BLOCK.

Hell, I should be at school right now, but I'm in my bedroom chugging cough medicine. Point is, I'll be lurking around posting now and then, but for the next few days I will be a little less active in RP.

That said:

Cronaal: I will be posting on The Beginning of a Relation first thing when I return.

Esplandia: I will be posting later that day or possibly the next day.

Wish me luck, folks! I don't wanna have to live with blowing my nose to find weird orange matter on my tissue for the rest of the month. :lol:

The Truth Revealed: House Lannister is Behind the Doom of Valyria

Based heavily on this genius reddit post: https://m.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/2l64xt/spoilers_all_the_doom_of_valyria_explained/

In the world of Game of Thrones, before the unification of the Seven Kingdoms under Aegon the Conqueror, the Ancient Rome of that world, which will henceforth be referred to as Planetos, reigned in the eastern continent of Essos. This was the Valyrian Freehold, based on the ancient Roman Republic.

The Valyrians, their dragons, and their magic brought Essos to heel. (More specifically Western Essos, with the Far East dominated by the China-esque Golden Empire of Yi Ti.) But why did the Valyrians never invade Westeros? Apparently the Valyrian sorcerors had a prophecy that gold from the Westerlands would destroy Valyria. They knew the Casterly and later Lannister families had lots of gold and never moved to contact with them, so greatly was this prophecy respected.

But still, the Lannisters brought the gold to them. Shortly before the Doom the Lannisters commissioned Brightroar, their great Valyrian steel greatsword, and they pay for it entirely in their native gold. It is said multiple times that they overpaid heavily, giving up so much gold for that blade that they could have purchased an army with it.

Some say the Doom occurred when the warring political Valyrian families finally killed too many of each other's fire mages and there were not enough left to keep the containment magic of the 14 Fires, the volcanoes where the dragons where discovered, going. With no containment magic, the volcanoes were prone to erupt.

Everyone always thinks the Faceless Men, an order of assassins from Braavos, (a city in northwest Essos founded by a mutiny of Valyrian slaves) caused the Doom but they have no idea how. But this guy on Reddit, and thus I, do know.

The family who sold Brightroar to the Lannisters used that gold to hire the Faceless Men and unleash them upon their rival families. Most specifically they had them assassinate the mages of the rival families in exchange for enough gold to field an army. Maybe they thought it would leave them as the only ones with the magic and power. Whatever they thought, without the mages the 14 fires were no longer stable.

So, Valyria goes BOOM.

Thus, the Lannister gold paid to the Valyrians for Brightroar was used to get the Faceless Men to kill rival families' mages, causing the 14 Fires to become unstable. The 14 Fires then erupt, the city of Valyria is destroyed, and the Valyrian Freehold collapses utterly. A chain reaction, it seems. Started by whom?

House Lannister.

First Lann the Clever swindles Casterly Rock from House Casterly, then his descendants destroy Valyria and fulfill the prophecy, and then their descendants, specifically Tywin and Cersei Lannister, manipulate their way to the Iron Throne.

Those guys are not to be messed with.
 
OH DEAR GOD! I just realized! Jon Snow is the Prince who was Promised! The White Walkers want humanity to affirm their peace treaty and have emerged again from the Lands of Always Winter because they feel they have been cheated! The Prince who was Promised was Promised to the White Walkers to uphold the treaty! That's why the Night's King gave Jon a dirty look when he escaped just in time from Hardhome! Plus, R+L=J, so Jon is a prince and the last one alive in a dynasty! That means he's qualified to be the Prince that was Promised.

The Fourth Infantry Division, or rather the 1st Malum Infantry Division was just created. The 4th is made up out of former Malums, including Rin, Azrael, and Carter.

 

 

It was a two week period of total war.

It started with not one, not ten, but four simple horsemen.

It ended with the <em>destruction </em>of the Malums.

Primo victoria men! Some people will be getting medals, check our page for the recipients.

The Autumnwood Offensive is finally over!

The campaign led by Sir Constantine and his officers to push all Malum out of the mainland once has been completed! Within exactly a week, our forces <em>pushed </em>Malum from York, to Destiny and Swamp, to Nafets and Castle, and MoD and Delta.

The Emperor has handed out Autumnwood Offensive medals to all NSE soldiers.

Amazing work.

<h1 style="text-align:center;"><strong>Join Sarovia Today!</strong></h1>

<hr />
<p style="text-align:center;">Or, y'know, whatever floats your boat.</p>

As our large divisions closed in on the city of Destiny, we began guarding it. A man or two to every single building. For minutes, half an hour, we stayed here until some pathetic <em>Pinecones </em>attacked our operations. Within minutes the entrance to our newly taken city was in full chaos. For hours on end, the battle raged on, soldiers excelling. When the Emperor was asked if we can capture Malums and Pinecones, he replied <em>"Non prisonors, nisi tropaea!"</em>

An offer was purposed. A squad of five versus five. We were ready to fight when the Chancellor, 2'Xiao, found a mysterious fighter by the name of Rill. We won 2-0 and Destiny was ours!

Good work to Dimitri, Constantine, Hermes, Rill, Xiao, and Paw.

 

<em>Primo victoria. </em>

That's what we said as 4 horsemen charged upon York to clash against the tyrant forces of King Blackfyre. As we called upon men, men answered. As we struck fear into the tyrant forces, they retreated and retreated. Strike upon strike, we forced them back onto the bridge. With a show of strength, the tyrants asked for a five on five of our best men, and we delivered, not only winning the two out of three, but the three out of five too. That's what we said as our 23 horsemen charged upon York.

<em>Firstly the victory.</em>

You can read more about the May 21st Movement <a href="http://graalmilitary.wikia.com/wiki/The_May_21st_Movement" target="_blank">here</a>.

M-21 is the predecessor of NSE, built to combat the Malums at an earlier time than NSE. NSE launches on Friday. Pm Constantine for details.
