This is the User page for Kedalfax, also referred to as Kedalfax/Audland.

Why Kedalfax/Audland? Because way back in the day, I belonged to the Simtropolis region with Kedalfax. Then I moved it to the IDU, replacing it in ST with [[Giotizia]], which has since CTE'd. I wanted it to be clear that Giotizia and Kedalfax were both me, so I started referring to myself as Kedalfax/Giotizia. When Giotizia CTE'd, I replaced it with [[Audland]], and thus Kedalfax/Audland was born.

My parents have been drilling Internet paranoia into my head since we first got WOW! almost a decade ago (Why was it named wow? 'Cause now you say "Wow. We thought ''that'' was good?"). So I won't be saying too much.

I had maybe three minor CJs on [http://www.simtropolis.com Simtropolis] that died before I had originally planned. They were badly written anyway. I have been attempting to write a novel for years, and just the other week I had finnished a couple of paragraphs before deciding it was terrible. (If I ever finish, I'll be bragging about it).

My favorate music is classic rock, and I think that the debate over whether Jimi Hendrix, Edward Van Halen, or Eric Clapton is the best guitarist is stupid, they were all good enough for me to like them. But to tell you the truth I like  Lynyrd Skynyrd better than any of them.
+
 
+
Let's see, what else...
+
 
+
I hate my school for leading me to think I could take the AP Computer Programming next year, and then cancel it.
+
 
+
I think Intel is probably worse with the monopolism than Microsoft, but I hate them both.
+
 
+
EA Sucks. Big. (Whoever's avatar that was, sorry about stealing it)
+
 
+
I have a new eMachines computer that sucks. I know you all want the story. So my dad and I go into the store, and my dad embarrases me by looking like an idiot and pretending to know nothing about computers, even though he's probably done more with computers than that Intel rep will ever do in her life. So we look at these two eMachines computers, and they have the same specs, but had all the internal parts made by Intel, and the other had AMD and other stuff in it. So my dad asks the Intel rep what the difference is, and she, being an Intel rep, says the Intel is better. She said that the Intel one won't have any conflicts because the parts are all made by the same person. We should have known better. The computers at my dad's office are all cobbled together peices of various computers, with all of the parts being at least three years old. Our current computer had four original parts. The case, power supply, motherboard and processor. We never had a problem steming from incompatable peices. But we fell for it. I had been planning on getting a POS machine and trading the graphics card with the GForce 4 in the old one. But it turns out, INTEL FUSED ALL THE STUFF TOGETHER! I can't figure out any way to take out the old Video card, and I don't have the cash to pay for a new one. so now, the Sims 2 crashes half the time when I try to run it.

+
I live in upstate NY (I can tell you that because you could easily trace my IP from earlier edits and find that I live in Coxsackie, which I don't {Thanks, StateTel}).
+
 
+
I connect to the 'Net using DSL.
+
 
+
I hate it when people say things like "MY Internet is down"
+
 
+
I hate it more when people use abbreviations loke LOL and OMG in offline conversations.
+
 
+
I REALY hate when people make forum posts or titles IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, as if I wouldn't notce it otherwise.
+
 
+
I hate how "abbreviation" is such a long word.

+
"You may be right. I may be crazy."

+
I'm not really that big of a Billy Joel fan. "Piano man" was good. "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" was okay. The rest was mediokre. sp?

+
I like when people let you know when they don't know how to spell.(See above)
+
 
+
I'm still upset about Vietnam and Kent State, even though I wasn't alive yet.

I actually suck at typing.

I think Google is sneaking into my life a little too much. I thik it's like Wal-Mart that way.

On August 22, 2005, I found NSWiki, and started pages for Kedalfax and Simtropolis. I made a primitive map, which can still be seen in the history of Kedalfax's page. On August 23, 2005, I made my account here. I used my user page as a quick redirect to my nation. (I liked having the link right up on the toolbar there). On 1 September, 2005, I made the first regional map for ST, collaborated from existing maps of other nations. To this day, nearly 2 years later, I maintain the regional map.

NS History

Way way back in the annals (funny word, sounds like anal) of history (2005), a nation was founded. This nation was called Kedalfax.

I first noticed NS from a signature over at ST. I came over and started a nation. For a while I stayed in the Pacifics. Then I started a region, Upstate New York. When that became a miserable failure (I think the highest it got was about two or three members), I began looking for a new region. I found Simtropolis. I joined. On August 22, 2005, I found NSWiki, and started pages for Kedalfax and Simtropolis. I made a primitive map, which can still be seen in the history of Kedalfax's page. On August 23, 2005, I made my account here. I used my user page as a quick redirect to my nation. (I liked having the link right up on the toolbar there). On 1 September, 2005, I made the first regional map for ST, collaborated from existing maps of other nations. To this day, nearly 2 years later, I maintain the regional map.

In 2006, I made my first puppet, Giotizia. Originally, it was meant to be my IDU nation. But after I spent some time on the forums there, I decided to move my UN nation to the IDU. Giotizia became my only remaining connection to the region

Later in 2006, I made Brechenlass, meant to be a right wing messed up nation with plenty of problems. I put it in the IDU, figuring I already had a nation in ST.

In February of 2007, I created The Sheridan Islands, bringing my nation total up to 4. That one still exists. It is meant to be a right-wing tourist trap, somewhere for the rich Kedalfaxians to go on vacation.

In April of 2007, I let the first two puppets die out. The placement of Giotizia as an island nation in a stormy gulf made it easy to wipe out, and Brechenlass had always been on the verge of political collapse. The next month, I decided to start Audland, to restore my connection to Simtropolis.

Current Nation Status

I have three current nations:

  1. Kedalfax, the older brother. Founded 2005, redesigned Sept. 2006, probably another redo coming soon. Generally mirrors my own views as of '06, unlike my RL older brother. Some of my views have changed since then, but the nation remains mostly the same.
  2. The Sheridan Islands, the middle sister. Quite opposite to my RL sister, who's a far-left bleeding-heart liberal-hippie pinko-commie sarcastic-hyphenated other-term, this nation is right-wing, and that kind of racist that isn't mean about it, completely casual, I-don't-like-non-whites kind of thing.
  3. Audland, the youngest brother, like me. Started way out there left-wing, but I've been moving it more central lately. Now I think it may be closer to me than Kedalfax in quite a few spots.

Former Puppets

In my time in NS, I've had five nations. Two CTE'd: Brechenlass and Giotizia. Both CTE'd on purpose. I realised that the connection between the two and my main nation Kedalfax was too strong to let me make the nations truly individual. Also, it was more difficult than I'd thought to develop the two into what I'd wanted them to be realistically. So I let them CTE and made Audland, which has begun taking more ground on the main nation front. If I become tired of Audland, I'll probably re-re-do Kedalfax, rather than let it CTE. Historical reasons, you see.

Other Junk

I found NS through someone's signature over at [www.simtropolis.com]. Since then, I've founded four more nations, let two CTE, joined the IDU, and yet I still can't get a resolution to the floor. Oh, well.

My middle name is spelled with one of these things: ß in Germany. Kind of cool, actually.

My favorite authors include: Dave Barry, Carl Hiaasen, who just came out with a new book, Tim Dorsey, who will soon, and Douglas Adams. Unfortunately, it'll be hard for him to make another book. *awkward silence*
