Birthday: 2/5/54

Preferred subdivision: Musica in Yardistan

How you heard about Shireroth: Can't remember, I could have heard about it through any number of micronational channels.

Previous micronational experience: Cabinet, Assembly, executive experience in Morovia. Preferred role - private citizen promoting some discussion group (e.g., The Briesk Freethought Society) or business (edited The Morovian Telegraph for a bit). Was a citizen of the Kingdom of Hanover for a while.

Anything else about you: My previous micronational involvement has been very role-playing light, but with my interest in writing fiction and previous experience with Call of Cthulhu (sp?) and Dungeons & Dragons role-play, I should adapt. Really don't get into micronational warfare at all. Warning: I love to argue, hate to feud (and this is a feudal society? ). Also, I write very long posts and overuse smiley's.

No problem!

One funny thing about Bill is that when you talk to him over the internet, he doesn't at all come across as a 54-year-old man. I was very surprised when I found out his age.

As someone once said, you're only young once... but you can be immature your entire life.

I try to take full advantage of that possibility.

Wow. We should give you and Hypatia's Mom a special forum where you can sit together on rocking chairs and complain about kids these days and yell at us to get off your lawn.

Just kidding, just kidding!

And a Call of Cthulhu fan. Nice. You should fit in well here.

Damn kids

Actually, I've been told I'm off my rocker a number of times.

Now that was a role playing game.

The job was to run away from the monsters, not defeat them.

And the only reason for the pistol you carried was to shoot yourself if you couldn't run fast enough

Welcome to Shireroth, Bill. I guess we old fogies have to stick together. Actually, I'm a bit older even than you, but I don't think I'm off my rocker yet. I'm Minister of Immigration and Naturalization, and it is my pleasure to stamp your application APPROVED. Please read about our duchies and choose one to live in. (Brookshire could use more citizens, but you may choose your favored division.) I hope you enjoy living here.

I believe Bill has already chosen Musica, Yardistan.

Yardistan it is, then. Your duke is Duke Benkern. He should be along to greet you and help you select a county to live in. I'm glad you and Mike are acquainted. It's always good to have friends in new places. I hope you enjoy it here. Oh, yes don't forget the heavy-duty earplugs for Fiesta de la Boom. And you should be safe staying with Mike until the rebuilding concludes.
