Don't know exactly what possessed me now to tell y'all this, but anyway.... I drove to Billings, Montana from Lincoln, Nebraska and back again back in March. Went to Montana just to look around a little bit. I got... maybe an hour of sleep in the Walmart parking lot in Billings. Just couldn't get any rest for some reason. Point is I basically spent a little over 2 days just driving around. Looking back, I really should not have been driving for that extended amount of time. The sleep deprivation started getting to me when I was coming back to Nebraska. From some point on I-90 in South Dakota to the intersection with US 81, I had really bad tunnel vision and I basically have almost no memory of driving the hour and a half that was that part of the trip. Started seeing random shadow people soon after that. Just seeing people on the side of the road off in the distance. Saw a bunch of weird lights in the distance at one point, which ended up being just some road signs that my headlights were reflecting off of. Somewhere between Columbus, NE and Seward, NE, I saw a 20 foot long alligator crossing the road. I slowed down since I didn't wanna hit it. Got within about 30, 40 feet of the "alligator" and then I blinked and it just disappeared. Yeah.... It was definitely an experience though..... Definitely an experience. Anyway..........................
It all started happening after it got dark, so that's probably partially why. The darkness let my imagination run wild.
This place died when Shiz died a year ago
Please be careful on the road bro!
Yep. Exactly. It was a little freaky to say the least, although I remember I didn't really care at the moment since I was just so brain tired. My mind was basically like "Oh, it's an alligator. Huh. Oh, it's gone now. Oh, wait, there's no alligators in Nebraska. Eh, whatever."
*Meanwhile, in Whippoorwill County, Pensyltuckee Island.......*
Deputy: *sitting with his feet up on the desk* *throwing darts at a dartboard on the wall*
*The door flies open and the sheriff walks in with a handcuffed man.*
Will: "Uncuff me immediately!! My lawyer is coming! He should've gotten off the plane half an hour ago!!"
Sheriff: "Hold your horses, I ain't even started with you."
Will: "I've done nothing wrong!!"
Sheriff: *gingerly sets the man down in a chair* *sits down across the table from him* "Well, I received word from those 2 fellers you were talkin' with at the bar yesterday. You got a little bit intoxicated and apparently said sumem about killin' your wife while y'all were out in the woods campin' and makin' it look like some sorta accident. One of them fellers is Jesse James Junior. Now Jesses James Junior is probably the most honest man around these parts. He couldn't tell a lie if his life depended on it. Hell, back when we was kids, I tried to start some sorta name for him but none of them couldn't hardly roll off the tongue too good. Couldn't hardly come up with something that began with J......... It's your word against his. Anyhow, you were reported to be sayin' *puts on his glasses and holds up a police report* "And I quote. 'I think I'll push her off one of those cliffs you guys have around here.'
Deputy: *pops open a Johnson Beer and takes a sip*
Will: "So you think I came all the way here from Wisconsin just to-"
*The door suddenly opens and a man wearing a suit walks in.*
"Will, do not say another word. Hello Sheriff, my name is John Kipley and I represent William. My client will say no further words at this time. We will discuss this later in court. Will, let's go."
Sheriff: "What in the world are you talkin' about?"
*Will stands up to leave.*
Sheriff: *pulls out his revolver* "Sit down."
John: "Sir, are you threatening my client? I will hold that against you in a court of law."
Sheriff: "Relax. I just need to get a little bit more info."
John: "Sir, the Miranda rights state that you are not allowed to interrogate my client without an attorney present if he so chooses. My client has the right to remain silent."
Deputy: *takes a sip* "Boy, for a lawyer, y'ain't gotta whole lotta knowledge 'boutcha."
John: "What do you mean?"
Sheriff: "There ain't no wordin' that says 'at in any sorta lawbook in all of Pensyltuckee."
Will: "What?!"
Sheriff: "Y'all'er welcome to talk amongst y'allselves afterwards, and of course, there is the court date. Alexis, the wife'll be there standin' testimony to the divorce and whatnot. Y'all'll also have y'all's say then and there. But right now, I'm a goin' to ask Willie here some questions. Plus you said your presence is required and you are currently standin' here, right before right now, so I don't see the issue here."
John: "The whole point of my presence is for consultation."
Deputy: "So you can talk him out of this?"
John: *stares at the deputy* *scowls*
Sheriff: "Anyway...." *looks at the paper* "What've you got to say for yourself, Mr. Gramer?"
Will: "We're just going on a nice camping trip in the backwoods of Pensyltuckee Island. I don't actually want to kill my wife. We have a great marriage and-"
John: "Will, stop talking."
Sheriff: "Okay, you may sit down and shut up. Or else I will have Deputy Dozier arrest you for.... impedin' justice." *turns to the deputy* "That's a thing, right?"
Deputy: "Mmm, yeah." *nods his head* *takes a sip of Johnson Beer*
Sheriff: "Anyway.. You say that, but I called up them courthouse records and apparently, y'all are filin' for divorce on the grounds of you bein' some sorta abusive psychopath. And it looks as if she'd be a gettin' a good chunka stuff after the split. Now what've you gotta say about that?"
*1 week later....*
*A group of prisoners chained together is being led aboard a bus at the Springfield Penitentiary to go break rocks at a Slashville quarry.*
Will: *sighs* *walks aboard the bus*

In this edition, we have the distinct pleasure to sit down and talk with an Islander who has been with us for a long time but only recently returned from a few years absence. Controlitia has in the past served in TITO Command and on the Council of Nine and currently serves as the newly elected Senator for New Republica South and as a TITO Knight.
GK: To start things off, do you have an earliest memory of XKI? If not, do you remember how you joined NS/XKI?
Control: I don’t really have a concrete earliest memory, but I do remember how I joined both NS and XKI. I joined NS because I came across Lexicon in a public library and liked it. When I looked into Max Barry more, I found out about NationStates. I played it for a bit and then started to get bored with just the one nation (Fosfjapias, named by keysmashing) and created a couple puppets to try for specific government types. One of those puppets got a recruiting telegram from Markanite that included some information about TITO, so I sent that puppet to XKI to join in and all of a sudden it was my main.
GK: So what made you decide to come back to NS after being away for a few years?
Control: I thought about checking in on XKI after years away due to the pandemic, but I rejoined because I wasn’t in college anymore. One of the main reasons that I CTE’d was that I was busy with schoolwork and clubs and such and didn’t have much time for NationStates. I was also usually in class at minor and doing homework or hanging out with friends at major, so I didn’t even have TITO to drive involvement. Now that I work a desk job, I can be around a lot more.
GK: Can you talk about some of the major changes you've noticed in XKI since returning?
Control: One thing that struck me was that politics have gotten more active. In my experience, XKI politics were broadly run along the lines of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” and people didn’t really look to change much. Politics are much more active today and people are actively looking for things that we can improve and innovate on. You can also see a change in tone from the comments in my yaffice; it’d be a lot harder to see Barry going around and pretending to bribe senators today. It’s also odd to be in an XKI without Grub.
GK: And what about things that haven't changed? Do you feel like there are some aspects of XKI that have pretty much stayed the same?
Control: I feel like Taco Island has not changed much. Still spammy, still fun. XKI as a whole is as welcoming and laid back as ever. I don’t feel like TITO has changed all that much either, which works for me 😉
GK: I have to ask, with your extensive past work in TITO as a Knight and former member of Command, how does it feel to be back in action?
Control: It’s good to be back in the saddle and working to protect the people of NationStates from unconscionable griefing.
GK: And do you have any sage words of wisdom as an experienced player to newer nations?
Control: NationStates is what you make of it, so get involved but don’t overcommit. It’ll be boring if you let it be boring, it’ll be overwhelming if you get overinvolved. Find your sweet spot and it’s a great game.
GK: Lastly, can you describe XKI in a single word?
Control: Welcoming.
Grea Kriopia
You are still doing them, huh? :P
*Meanwhile, at a Hop-In, Hop-Out in Pen City that also functions as a restaurant.....*
*A foodie from some foreign nation walks in.*
Cashier: *takes a sip of Johnson* *glances up* "What can I do for ya, miss?"
Woman: "I want to try some classic Pensyltuckian cuisine."
Cashier: "Alrighty, set yourself down at one of them tables over there. Make yourself comfortable." *puts in a dip* *turns towards the back* "Martha! You got somebody waitin' for ya!"
Martha: *walks out of the back area* "Oh!" *walks over to the table* "What can I getcha?"
Woman: "Do you guys have a menu?"
Martha: "Not any official ones, no. But we all got all the typical fixins you'd expect."
Woman: "Right now, I'm just going around the world to every country trying a little bit of everything and exploring. So I honestly don't know what to expect. I have heard that you guys have some good cuisine here in this country though."
Martha: "Oh, that's interesting. So do you just want me to wrangle up a plate fulla sumem?"
Woman: "That would be good, thanks."
Martha: "Anything to drink with that?"
Woman: "I've heard of a drink here called Buck Cola. Do you have that?"
Martha: "Of course. Will that be all?"
Woman: "Yes."
Martha: "Alrighty, I'll get right to it. It'll just be a few minutes." *walks towards the back*
*A few minutes later....*
Martha: *sets a plate with fried okra, a pulled BBQ sandwich, & a large piece of cornbread and a glass of Buck Cola down* "Enjoy!" *starts to walk away, but quickly turns around* "Wouldja like some fried crappie? It's on the house."
Woman: "Crappie?"
Martha: "Fish."
Woman: "Oh, sure."
*About 20 minutes later...*
*The plate and glass are empty.*
Martha: *walks over* "Will that be all?"
Woman: "Oh, yes."
Martha: "Alrighty, Randall'll getcha at the register." *starts clearing the table* "How'd you enjoy your meal?"
Woman: "Pretty good. Really hits the spot. Very filling. Fish was amazing. What was it called again, crappie? That barbeque beef sandwich was especially good."
Martha: "Oh, honey, that ain't beef."
Woman: "Really? It tasted like beef. What is it then?"
Martha: "That's some beaver Randall trapped the other day."
Woman: "Oh......."
When I'm bored and've got time.
