Hello one and all.
I won't bore you with what you already know. I'm DD, former Vice President of the ADN. Former because I was a spy and I admitted it. Their "stellar" intelligence service had their suspicions but just didn't catch me. Enough tooting of my own horn. Time to explain myself.
I'm here because i've never really had a problem with the NPO. Except with the whole The North Pacific thing, but the region is free again and i'm not one to hold grudges over a game. More i'm impressed that you were able to pull it off.
While I was with the ADN all anyone could do was complain about how the NPO had a stranglehold on The Pacific. Recent events in The North Pacific show that if the people wanted a government change then they could do it. So one of their best arguments is horribly untrue.
Another is the banning of nations for resisting the government through the collection of endorsements or protest. But all that ties back into the first argument I outlined. If the people didn't like your form of rule then they could change things.
So the ADN has no real reason beyond their childish anger that they got banned from a region. Big deal, I was banned from The Pacific a bit ago. I wasn't really do anything but I admit that back then I was a tempting target. When I telegrammed the delegate to explain things he took me off the banlist. Truly evil action there, no?
Then there's the silly notion that they're doing it for "good". Like they define what good means. Is good "destroying a government that has been in power for months" perhaps? Or is good "invading a region because the people there are bad because we say so"?
Regardless, I am here now. Every time I have talked with anyone from the NPO I have found you to be courteous, intelligent, and most importantly, mature. That's the trait i've always enjoyed from you guys. I look forward to hanging out here on your forums. Retirement is a nice thing, I don't give a damn what will happen because I registered here. Although I fear this may ruin my chances of getting into The Meritocracy.
