The Confederate Revolutionary Thread (CRT)

The rivalry thread of the NAAT in the HS Interest Areas.

The Confederate Revolutionary Thread

Imma be honest with y'all here, I don't know much about the CRT. In fact, I've made it one of my jobs to not know much about the it. You see, when I was squired I vowed to "never post in a rebel thread," and I decided that if I can't post in the CRT, why invest my time in it when I could be using that time to further the NAAT, or even better: bake cookies? So, I really only know as much as the next guy, which is why I'm bringing in the professional. Meet Bob, an active member of the CRT from approximately 2013-2015. Unfortunately, Josh Liposic, the founder of the CRT, is quite busy adulting at the moment, so we'll have to settle for Bob. He's cool though, and he does a pretty chill cover of Rather Be, by Clean Bandit.

History of the Confederate Revolutionary Thread

As told by Danny Taylor (Bob)

Gather 'round children, for I am going to tell you the tale of the CRT. It all started in the fall of 2011. I was but a young lad then, a "newb," in hip speak. The NAAT had been around for a number of years, and while it had many posts, it was becoming slow and boring. In order to revitalize the IA, Joshua Liposec decided to start a revolution, and throw down the NAAT. He created the very first post. I was the first person to join his ranks, and in honor of that, Joshua placed me as second in command. Soon, others joined us. We had a different name then, but it didn't fit. After some ideas being tossed around, we changed our name to the Conferederate Revolutionary Thread of NSA. The main appeal of the CRT, and the reason I rebelled against the NAAT, is that we did not require you to post for a full year, in order to become a full member. In the CRT, you were accepted right away with open arms.

During those first months, it was glorious. We even had full fledged battles and duals with the NAAT. They thought we would die out, and while we came close, we held on for our dear lives. There were even times when we were STRONGER than the NAAT; pushing them to the bottom of the IA. Eventually, Joshua had to step down, and then I became leader of the CRT. The CRT went through some changes, such as implementing a full fledged ranking system, based on real life military ranks.

After a number of years, both sides died down a bit, and after proving our strength and worth, the NAAT recognized us, and a truce was called. From then on we lived in peace. Then, in the third year of the CRT's life, I was hit with a major case of senioritis. The CRT fell very weak, almost dying once again. However, loyalists kept it alive to this day, and now I return to give my knowledge, and blessing. Stands up and raises my arms into the air, as a magical bright light appears shining on me PEOPLE OF THE CONFEDERATE REVOLUTIONARY THREAD OF NSA, MAY YOUR BLADES NEVER DULL, AND MAY YOUR AIM ALWAYS BE TRUE. GO FORTH AND FLOURISH! As a final warning, if the NAAT evens decides to become hostile again, or break our treaty, then unleash the power of a thousand suns upon them, and show them that the CRT while NOT go silently into the night! That we will not go down without a fight! And may God have mercy upon their souls.

(Hey guys, super glad to see this is still going, and that people are interested in the history. Like seriously, this takes me back and makes me really happy. If you have any questions, or want to know more, feel free to ask, and I'll try to my best to answer. 5 years is a long time though :)

Also, the number of replies is DRASTICALLY incorrect. The last time I posted, which was September 27, 2014, we were at 6601. Something got screwed up.
