ooo a thread! This is probably gonna get rambly.

First by way of explanation. If you look at the boneyard you will see another nation called "Witchcraft and Sorcery" alive for a couple weeks in 2005 or 06. That is not me. I also do not control "The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," the current founder of the region Hogwarts, as much as Yuno and a couple of others occasionally credit it to me. Contrary to popular belief, my nation's name actually has nothing to do with Harry Potter. It was inspired by an inside joke we had in my Science Olympiad team - whenever we didn't know an answer on a tournament test, we would just write "witchcraft and sorcery" or something like that. Because science, ya know :p

My main nation was founded on 1 Feb 2013. I was a freshman in high school and my civics class had made a class nation where we voted on how to answer the nation's issues and tracked our progress. The nation "B2 Civics" is unfortunately too big for me to claim myself, but you can still see our glorious factbooks here. I and a few others thought this issue answering was fun so we made some nations of our own. They all just kind of stayed with that and eventually got bored, but I happened to open my telegram box and see a recruitment TG from 10000 Islands. It looked cool so I moved there and that was the beginning of a rabbit hole that hasn't stopped for six years. With the exception of a year and a half from March 2017 to September 2018, my main has resided in 10ki ever since.

My involvement with TSP started back in 2014 when I was made 10ki's emissary to TSP. All I did back then was just foreign updates on the forum. The Great Council and all the weird stuff that went on flew right over my sheltered little head. In early 2016, however, I was made Tactical Officer in TITO. That was my dream job, and sort of the start of "phase 2" of my career. During that time, I started to meet (and reconnect) with people outside of 10ki and open my world perspective a bit.

This gradually led to me being at loggerheads with the rest of TITO command on an increasing basis over various issues, and it came to a head when I resigned in 2017 after one particularly nasty dispute. I joined the Grey Wardens, and that's where I met Roavin, Nakari, and Vincent Drake. They're the ones that turned me into a true defending machine. The four of us, along with Tim, Deadeye Jack, and Vietnam, led the defender world on an absolute rampage that spring and summer.

It's around this time that I finally officially joined TSP as a legislator, at the "recommendation" (read: probably cajoling but I forget) of Roavin and Nakari among others, and made a hasty and probably ill-advised run at MoMA barely two weeks after joining up. I hung around and participated for a while, managed to make Kris angry at me for attempting to bring the Tanzbola to TSP, hosted the 2017 defender awards, then flamed out of NS due to some old grudges/people who had harassed me rearing their heads and general exhaustion. 

I guess we're in phase 3 now. I rejoined 10ki last september and resolved my differences with them, and came back to TSP officially just a week or so ago. I missed y'all and I'm excited to see what's ahead. While I don't plan on running for any government positions for a while due to an impending 10ki delegate run, we shall see what the future brings and I genuinely hope this stay will be more permanent.

Viva la TSP! o/
