Good day to whoever may view this. I am Red, and have been playing NS on and off for quite a few years now. I love to roleplay whether it be Pathfinder, D&D, or something made up off the top of my head, so I'm really into that and will rarely break character when in the game (hopefully this doesn't agitate anyone too much). I'm hoping to find a good role play within this Region, as in the past it has all been rather lack-luster. I'm looking for a more in-depth intro the this region from someone more experienced with it and hopefully I will be able to work with all the nations here. We used to have a really lively role playing community, but it's waiting for a good jump start these days. @stk has been making some efforts to bring RP back up and I'm sure you guys could come up with some pretty cool stuff. I've never been very good at RP myself, but I'd be happy to help you guys out if you need anything done with that part of the forum to help get things moving

Hi Friends My name is Keegan and I'm from the US (Washington) My favorite kind of food is Italian (must of been italian in past life) I deal with religious descrimination a lot (I follow the Hellenismos pantheon of god s) I think I'm mentaly impaired to not spell right :3 I'm 12 years young When I'm older I want to get into game devolping I hope this explanes who I am Who are you? Gaming is what originally got me interested in programming, but then I fell in love with databases and decided to specialize in that. Coding is still a lot of fun, but I've quit every job I had as a coder. The money wasn't an issue, I just wanted to care about the projects I was working on. Now I work with large database systems, and that's enough of a full-time puzzle to stay fun for a while

I apologize for our forum. Sometimes if you post out of Preview mode it kills your formatting. You can set it to default to BBCode for editing and this should fix the problem.

Greetings RIA citizens. From this moment on I'll be a visiting member of the press (The Rejected Times to be exact.) I look forward to bumping into y'all 'round the forum. So, my main nation is The Church of Satan. I'll clear up all those bad thoughts right now: The Church of Satan is a real, Satanic organization. When I say Satanic, I mean LaVeyan Satanism, which is different from mainstream Satanism. We don't sacrifice anything and the organization doesn't condone harming anyone (especially children.) The only exception to harming people is in self-defense. Why call my nation the name I did? Well, it's simple. I am a LaVeyan Satanist. I'll leave it at that. Anyways, I got my start in NationStaes back in April of 2013. I started out by accepting a recruitment telegram from the region NationStates, ruled by the benevolent Mikes Hope Essence of Mikes Will. I enjoyed my time there but I decided to get out and do something after a week or 2. So I moved to 10000 Islands. I stayed there for about 2 or 3 weeks. I joined TITO even. Sadly however, Grub banjected me and IP banned me from the forum before my first deployment because of religious differences (I didn't hate HIM for HIS religious views.....) Suffice to say, I took it rather personally. So I got up 1 morning and found I was in The Rejected Realms. As any first timer would do, I tried moving my nation back to 10000 Islands, but to no avail. I then tried visiting the forum to figure out what happened. That was a dead end too as all I got was a white screen that said "You have been banned from this forum." I noticed I had a telegram from Grub. It said "Sorry man but I just don't dig your name." He can cover it up as a simple name all he wants but I knew what it was really about. I was furious! I responded to his message trying to persuade him to change his mind, but he didn't even take the time to block me. He just deleted each and every one of my telegrams. He and I haven't spoken until today, this very morning, a whole 9 months later. At least today he admits why he did it. Although I stopped holding it against him a few weeks after he banned me. So I found myself in The Rejected Realms. What do I do now? I posted on the RMB. The people were so welcoming and accepting. Naturally I told them about my situation. Frattastan himself personally telegrammed me and promised my religious choices wouldn't be an issue at The Rejected Realms. He encouraged me to join their forum and become a citizen. From there I flourished. The rest is, as they say, history. As for my life outside NationStates, it depends on the weather, lol. I'm single for now. Still looking for a girl I can fall in love with (yeah I believe in love lol.) My favorite sport is football. I could have been a quarterback in high school because I have a good arm, but I'm a light person and I don't think I can take a hit from a 250 pound linebacker, lol. I declined the offer. In the summer and spring times, I exercise every day. I take long bike rides (usually around 12 miles minimum.) In fall I take 6 mile walks. It's killer on my feet but worth it. In the winter I only go outside when I have to. I tend to gain weight in winter, as you can imagine. I have 2 great passions in my life, poetry and cooking. I got 1 of my poems published in The New York Times when I was in 10th grade. I've been writing poetry for 8 years. As for cooking, it takes priority over poetry. My dream is to open a restaurant. I just love cooking! I see many people settling for frozen food because it's more convenient. I think frozen food is disgraceful! I would much rather make a home-cooked meal any day! The time, effort and mess is well worth it! Since I live with my 2 brothers, I often rope them into my cooking. They complain, sure, until they eat, lol. We're a big happy family. As for work, well, times are tough. I've been searching for quite some time. I have a disability so it's hard to find work. I did go to college, but during finals in my first semester, I had a seizure and went to the hospital. The board of the college wouldn't allow me to finish my final exams. So I flunked out and ended up in debt $1500. I haven't found work since so debt from my college loans have literally doubled. I pay it no mind these days. Can't take something from someone who has nothing, right? That'll teach them! Hahaha! I only ever found work on 2 occasions. Seasonal work as a bell ringer and working construction. I wish I could have had the construction job for more than a week. I made $300 a day (tax free because it was under the table work.) I truly enjoyed both the work and the money, heh.

Well, we're the Renegade Islands Alliance for a reason. A good number of our founding council were members of XKI, and a a few more have been involved with XKI at one point or another. However, my original banishment from the region was completely deserved. Today we're on pretty good terms with 10000 Islands and our military works with TITO regularly. I don't think Grub is my biggest fan though, but again, that's deserved. I've CTE'd literally every single time he gave me something important to do, the last time coming after I told him I'd be online for at least a whole year longer than I was

Hello All. I'm Frankie. My nation as you see is New Alderann-Coruscant and as you may have suspected it, derived from a little movie world known as Star Wars, you may or may not have heard of it I love sports. I love gaming. I tried NationStates in the distant past but it didn't work out due to school and work schedules. Now all that is way more balanced and i'd like to give it a real go. Sports - Yankees, Knicks, Jets. So as you see, other than the Yankees in the past, very frustrating life. I also love college sports. I am from Texas (which you couldn't tell from my professional teams as my grandfather is from NYC), my College team, Texas Longhorns. I love Texas and the Longhorns. I also love the "original" football. I am proud of my US national team and love that MLS is coming up in the world, and am also a Barca fan and Spain is in my blood. cant wait for the World Cup! Spain is my pick, but i think Brazil might take it. Regardless of that all i hope US puts on it's best showing it has had since the 50s! Very diverse as you can see. A little bit nerd, a little bit jock but alot of different passions makes for a healthy life. Oh and TV. Love How I Met Your Mother and Modern Family, loved Seinfeld, loved Breaking Bad, and right now hooked on the Walkinh Dead and True Detective. My next Netflix series will be either House of Cards or Sons of Anarchy. We shall see what the gf votes for. Between my gf and i we have 4 dogs. 2 pits, a golden and a lab-shepard mix. Never a dull moment. Oh and I currently live in Arizona. So I hike a lot when its not triple digits. I live a semiactive life (depends on the season)
