Oh dear God I'm crying

Like when the part you mentioned the carrots in the strawberry tree... played my heart like a violin :(

Andy. Andington. Andromeda. Andalusia. Andrewson. No, that's weird, can I just call you Andrew? Mother of God Mallace, this blog was one of the best blogs I've read in months, and that's saying a lot, considering I'm a devoutee of the Breasleblog Fan Club.

BUT, my friend of so many years... No matter how many blogs are written, how many BNOs are shut down, or how many Indonesians are freed from the tyranny of Jack Pistol, do know this... You are the greatest friend I've ever had. In the POTCO world, of course... lol

Ahhh yes the classic nostalgic moment to capitalise on this dramatic episode... I remember when I first met you. What was it like autumn of '09? That's been three years. I've known you for three years. And although my mind is hazy, I believe I was already an officer of the Co. when you came along shortly after... We were a good guild before, but after you joined... The triumvirate was complete. You, me, and Benjamin... Wow. My first impression of you, when you were Captain Andrew, was like "oh wow some poser trying to look good". But that was the wrong impression. You weren't some poser trying to look good. You were some poser trying to do good. Not just for yourself, but for the Co. Empire. And I soon saw that through your dedication to the guild, and your strong-willed character.

Then came the prime minister elections. Lol, first off, I have no clue why an EITC guild would have a prime minister, but nonetheless, you were there for me as my running mate when I decided to run. When we ultimately won, I wasn't the prime minister. In writing, I was, yes, but the true brains behind nearly all success I've had was you.

Then came the United Empire days. Although I did not stick around for that era, I knew without doubt that you were a primary leader in that campaign, and drove forth an evenly successful (if not more successful) continuous of the Co. Empire we had loved. I love Benjamin to death, and see him as my brother, but Mallace, let's be honest here... If it weren't for you, where would any of Benjy's guilds be? Hell, where would the EITC be? HELL, where would roleplay be??

After that, the dark ages and the dire chapters of the Adventures of Mallace. When Captain Andrew was banned, the mark of the EITC's decline began. A new form of roleplay, one in which countries would be ruled rather than a tea company, emerged. It goes without saying that when you returned in summer of '11, you adapted quickly, taking on numerous positions in England, Russia, and the beautiful wastelands of Uzbekistan.

Mallace, the point I'm trying to make is that despite the situation, you're there. You dedicate yourself to whatever roleplay may throw at you, and you do it with the Mallicious style everybody loves (or hate). And for anybody who doubts Mallace's character and dedication, just take a look at his Minecraft server. Yes, he mentioned it in his blog and the effect it has on his personality, but he didn't say how successful it's grown. Sometimes, I am unable to get on the server when I want to, because it is constantly packed to the limit with other users. The server itself is a work of art, and perfectly reflects the hard work put into it by my friend Mallace.

Now take a look at England. It's no secret that England has gone through some turbulent times, and perhaps still is. We've gone through wars with Pearson, drama with Sven, internal conflicts, you name it. There were days when John simply gave up on England, and days when even Goldtimbers gave up. But who was it that always stood by, through rough times and through good ones? Who was it that always wrote that state-of-the-union blog? Who was it that never backed down and remained loyal to the people he called friends? Sarah Palin.

He could do all this while having a good time. Yes, the BNO was a slippery controversy, but still, as Mallace said, it's probably the most well-known term on the wiki. It has been seen by some as an enjoyable, ingenius idea, and by others as the wiki's greatest, most disgusting downfall. But one thing everybody must know... The BNO was not a result of Mallace's "perverted mind", no, it was the result of his driving intellect, his stubborn nature. Yes, he has a stubborn nature. Everybody should.

Wow... this comment is becoming longer than expected o_O

Finally, I'd just like to say that Mallace, you are my brother. My husband-brother. But, it goes without saying that I am in no way equal to you. The BNO was your creation: I simply joined along like a desperate mongoose. Truth be told, I'm jealous of your humour, your ability to turn even the most dire situation into a buoyant mess... Do not lose that skill, as well as your others. Also, when I was promoted to rollback, do know that you were not holding me back. I was holding myself back. I didn't want to leave our grimy world behind and become one of those camel-molesting G-Men.. I wanted to remain a BNOer. Alas, those times are gone. And now, after reading this blog, I feel I am ready to move on to greener pastures. You know what they say... You can't spell "redstone" wothout spelling "stone".

But the humour is not dead, and roleplay is not over. As long as you are here, Andrew, I know that everything here will be okay. I know that I will do well as a rollback with you behind me every stpehen of the way. Also, I know that I will always have one good friend.

DUN DUNNN DUNNN DUUUUNNNNNN I'm done with this comment.

Almost.

I also will never forget the days of the BNO, obviously, or even the days of the Co. Empire that seem aeons ago. But through your friendship, Captain Andrew the Great, those memories and not just memories... They are still happening.

Merry Christmas,
