Hi, Archetype. Long time, no see.
Sorry to hear you still need the painkillers; I thought you were having a big surgery that was going to make things better for you. I've had to hang around a lot of chronic pain patients recently (I'm in medical school now
) and no one deserves that - not even someone who's gone down in the annals of micronational history as a legendary thought-controlling insane mastermind
There aren't any rules for posting here any more than there have ever been. Don't make a huge signature or get into fights with people and you'll get along fine. The latter may be harder than it sounds - by a horrible fluke of bad timing (or an act of Eris) Bill3000 just showed up here a week ago after several years of retirement.
The update (if you even remember us): Ryan's married and involved in environmental work, Ric's still in school, Jadie and Zarathustra are engaged to be married IRL (!), Harvey's an engineer, Bill's doing some kind of research in a nuclear laboratory (I know, I'm scared too), Ardashir's Shirerithian now, Erik went on LOA a week ago for political reasons, and Ari's doing something apparently involving lolcats and digits of pi (ie same as always). Siri hasn't been seen since your age, Mari we drove away, and...that's all I can think of.
I'm really busy these days and forgot I even came back here for a while (damn painkillers lol) and the other night saw an ad for country simulation game and decided I wanted to catch up on the micronational world. Can't promise I will check regularly but could anyone fill me in on the rules of posting around here? I have a few friends who I talked to about micronations recently who may be interested in joining depending on their college load. If I introduce them on here please point them towards suitable nations since I don't know which ones exist today and no guilt by association please. 
I wont lie I've considered it over the years but I think as memories fade it's a lot easier to remember all the good times than all the backstabbing propaganda wars (which were pretty fun to watch play out too I wont lie). But all the hurt feelings were never enjoyable. Seems you guys have a relatively peacefule existence now these days... the biggest trouble facing you is your ugly forums lol.
