It is Sad to See Me Go, After Almost 3 Years Being Here, Retirement is Coming on 11-03-2020

I like to keep this nice and short for as many people as I can recall up to this point on my experiences.

As far as you're aware, I, under the pseudonym Lucian, yes, the person who's been playing for over ten nations to date can no longer feel totally safe after I seen so much unfun chaos that's taken a toll on my sanity. When I first came here under a friend's invitation off-site and I can't tell you exactly where I came from to maintain anonymity of site location, it was the most exhilarating moment I ever tried experimenting with simulated politics. If not for my passive-aggressive-defensive stance on my approach to politics, I would've enjoyed more and more of Max's nostalgic design as intended.

The first three nations I recalled are what I termed as the Tripartite Era, with the first failed very miserably from my horrible error, but in the process given rise to one of my friends a whole new coalition that gives new meaning upon my main nation's death. It struck a chord around the world of how really sacred and powerful that world was with a lot of lore I wrote on from my childhood journaling, all of that for nearly two decades simply went to waste in an instant, and that scarred me emotionally from time to time. Shortly before that, I came across the STORM Union, and one that would took me many more nations for me to create, each in its own era of lore with a continuity in trying to find the correct ways to defeat that faction that sowed upon my main nation.

During the interlude period until this iteration, I made the Viva La Rebel Academy and Torian Rebellion, two of such rebel nations to try and see if I can claim the Asian continent, no, not the region in name, but the portion of the map itself to be more democratic. The former failed too quickly and I know who it was, it was Tulenia and their allies, as well as from the STORM Union once again, since the latter recognized me and my intent on bringing justice. For the Torian Rebellion, taking place a little bit after the events of a failed Rebel Academy, I made that successor nation able to make contact with my own kind on a new and very last temporal planet, Suria, but I named it the Lucian Pentapartite, which is a merger new nation out of the majority of old nations that I played, a serious comeback after many previous failures. That really give me purpose to get back at the STORM Union, but due to some complication with joining the World Assembly under orders from the same old friend I given birth to the same coalition I worked with, I given up on the merger nation and allowed Suria to fall into anomalous weather changes, probably coming from Lily, of course.

Then, just when I thought I have given all manner of hope in allowing the remains of my fallen main nation eternal peace, I finally found the ultimate answer, by blending in to my nemesis' surroundings by acting like I'm on their side and covertly navigate through their territory until reaching their heartland where I used to play as Tiyana. That ultimate solution is Sturmdrungen, a.k.a. Storm Penetrators, akin to a storm's formation being crippled by wind shear, and my very last one to play. This time, with my own coalition, the Pan-European Alliance Nuremberg Union Treaty, akin to a peanut being repeatedly criticized until its guard is left exposed, and despite some coordination trouble with a few of my shaky allies, I manage to defeat and disband the STORM Union once and for all, and given eternal peace to my fallen kindred species, the Lucians.

And now, after all I have gone through, I finally decided that I, Lucian, can happily retire coming on Election Day. If you're reading this, whether a passing stranger, an acquaintance, a former friend, neutral, or even enemy of me, know that my time here is almost about to pass. I just need to have a smooth transition to leaving especially if you're in the very latter not to start trouble with me until that day, and I'll happily give up the ghost on the former STORM girls that is my Sturmdrungen.

If you made it this far, this is the picture of remembrance I'll give you, even if you won't like it, at least appreciate my time playing with you all, no matter how weird my playing style is. I thank you, but I will not regret my loss with my fallen kindred, only pure blissful silence is all I'll give.
