Glooscap started out as wanting to get up there with the royalty and help everybody out. He was a favourite of the Empress for a short while.
However, I got bored of the stagnation that afflicts so many places in this game, and also got into a irreconcilable disagreement with the heir apparent and her husband over them being pricks. (Sorry guys.)
Glooscap soon came to be based on Adolf Hitler and the NPZ on the National Socialists.
A lot of similarities happened by accident, too. Hitler had a failed coup. I had really not planned to stay in Reniov at all, as Glooscap did not consider them to be part of the Zuzian Nation or ethnic Zuzians. Being terribly afraid of having his ragtag gang murdered by the evident thieves, he made up a story about the Zuzian Nobility planning to annex the forest, and soon had created and had great influence within a highly armed movement.
However, I kind of stopped playing at that point, getting pretty sick of the game (It's a great game, it just happens, you know?). The Nationalist Party and KM would have had a much greater impact on history had I not so badly mismanaged them. Perhaps not victory, as I was hoping, but at the very least they'd have pulled of a pretty interesting and bloody coup attempt.
And like somebody said, Breanne was the mistake and downfall. Should have killed her right off, but because of previous encounters with the character, and with the player, never at all suspected she would do what she did. I was monumentally dissapointed, as Glooscap was my star character and had done more than any one of mine had ever done, society wise.
Soon after his death I stopped playing, burning out, and eventually my account lapsed, at which point I lost out on playing with dozens of great characters with whom my other characters were interacting.
I really wish I'd finished some more ideological works before passing on. It'd have been cool to get an autobiography out while in prison, and an article or two, to possibly inspire a future leader. Or just record history. But I hadn't time before he got killed. Ah well.
I really regret losing contact with all you great folks though. That was my own fault. Admittedly, I've been in some trouble which kind of hindered it, but to be entirely honest, I just kind of burnt out. Hope you guys are all doing well.
And most of all, try to remember my as I was. Fucking awesome.
