Anniversary

[Great Bights Mum]

It was 20 years ago today my first nation was founded. My brother introduced me to the game with the unforgettable words, "It only takes a few minutes a day." After a few delegacies, vice-delegacies, and possibly 50,000 endorsements given, I can attest to the irony of that statement.

Why 20 years? It is because of you all - the community here. Where I've met people from all over the world, and made some real friends. I am often wowed by how smart, funny, creative, and enlightened my region-mates are. Keep shining!

What an incredible milestone! It's an honour being a part of this community and the experience is always made better by sharing it with wonderful people such as yourself, GBM.

That’s cool. I personally hope I’m not here that long, but kudos to you for taking what must have been quite a wild ride. And thank you for choosing to do it in this region! We appreciate your wit and wisdom and you’re a delight to have around.

Happy NS anniversary, GBM!

I feel very weird that I technically first started playing before you did, by three months and a day.

My brother pointed out to me today that The North Pacific's constitutional order is (significantly) older than South Sudan. In fact, we haven't experienced an outright coup or civil war since before that nation became independent. Also weird that the region is technically older than said brother.

The North Pacific would not be the same without your consistent, thoughtful, friendly presence. Thank you for being here these past two decades.

How much does your brother know about NationStates

How much does your brother know about NationStates

A good bit. He was a bit puzzled by Scardino et al's pre-coup purges.

Happy Anniversary, @Great Bights Mum!

Personally I am around in NationStates similarly long, albeit with different nations, which are now extinct.

Amazing milestone GBM. You are an icon and inspiration that many in the community should aim to emulate. Here is to another 20 more!

Was really nice meeting you in person! Crazy how NS brings people together in special ways.

I had not logged into the forums in a while, but I would also like to add my congratulations!

I am a little late, but happy anniversary @Great Bights Mum!
I'm new around here, but I would also like to congratulate you! Thank for the work you have done and we will be sure to continue your legacy!
