The Mysterious Suspicious Faceless Man of NATO

I am one of the luckiest members of NATO. I came to CN much like Anu did, from a post about CN on the FARK website. I quickly realized that joining up with Fark at the time would mean certain doom to a fledgling of the game. So I floated around quietly as a none for awhile. I got tech raided once and realized that an alliance was a necessity. I believe it was a recruitment SPAM from Wolverine that I got, but I was more intrigue with the alliance name than the promises being offered.

I joined NATO on April 11, 2007 and have been here ever since. One of the first people that i spoke with was Anu Drake. I had brought to his attention where a NATO nation was getting attacked by another nation. From that moment on, that is what I did for NATO. It is also what brought me into the diplomatic field. When a NATO nation attacked or was attacked by another alliance it became my duty to confront both sides to begin the mediation. Soon, I became the Undersecretary of State to represent NATO in alliance conflicts. After that the Deputy Secretary of State. Also during this time, I was first the LT of Legio X and then the Bat. Cmdr of Legio X. Funtimes with the noobs. Many of which are still with us and still flourishing.

On August 24, 2007, Anu Drake asked me to follow his footsteps into the SoS position. Soon he would become the first Secretary General of NATO. During the next month, i would work closely with Wilinator of the CATS alliance on negotiating terms for ALMEA during that war. Which in turn led to our eventual protectorate with CATS. Many other diplomatic events have come and gone over my time in here, but no reason to itemize them all. After 2 terms as SoS, I followed the steps of Anu into the Secretary General position.

Either as SoS or SG, I have always preferred to be more behind the scenes. While I have promoted my own ideas and plans, I have always thought that it was for the best of NATO to have one primary leader, one organized voice to the rest of CN. So I have been a supporter of Anu Drake ever since. To work as an advisor and questioner of his ideas and plans. To be brother Tom, to his Micheal Corleone. (No Poll, that doesn't make you Fredo) To be suspicious of all things new and question all plans laid out. I have spent much time lately trying to calm the waters of internal strifes. Negotiating and Mediating is my thing. I am glad to say that we have had some good resolutions lately and NATO is once again on the upswing.

But, above all things for me, is to make being in NATO fun for those who have choosen NATO. Above the ideas of Anu or anyone else in council, the membership has always been priority one. They signed up to be our brothers and sisters, our fighters and aiders, our advisors and confidants. I have always felt that way and always will.

On the RL side of me, I am old, older than Anu by about 5 years or so. I was a complete bastard in my day and lived a rambling wild lifestyle for quite a long time. I gave it all up, moved to another town, and did the wife and kids thing and haven't looked back since. it was that or be found dead in a ditch someday. not a fan of the ditches. Lived on the West Coast for a good while and loved it, moved to Nashville a few years back and it is ok. May move again though....no photos only because I am too lazy and uninspired. I'll get to it one day.

I am That One

You sir, are epic. It amazes me how similar our backstories are. Crazy 20s, Farkers, the same type of personality, West Coasters in our past.

Your complete disregard for the 'Post your pic' thread is a real concern though, as no one has yet gotten a clear picture of what you look like. Imagine the propaganda possibilities! Someday...

On a serious point though, Lenny (and to a lesser extent, Karl) has been an extraordinary force of good for NATO. Pollexter refers to him as 'Sweet, Moderate Lenny' and I agree completely. He is the yin to my yang, the cream in my bitter coffee and none of us would be where we are today without him.

Here's to you, Mr. moral compass!
