A World Power: A Rise to Fame Sneekpeek

Chapter 12

Rucket

Rucket* is remembored now as a revolusionist. His memory is still around with the "Rucket Memorial Park", and he is known by those who have only recently joined AWP. "A respected and well known member of the AWP community in May 2008" were some of the words AP3 10 remembered him as in the memorial to him in the "Rucket Memorial Park"**. He was recruited by "Jess0rz" who sadly has never gained credit for it and she is unfortunately not greatly remebered on a large scale by the AWP community, figures such as Rucket have overshadowed them in time and they have not gained recognition for them.

During his time on NationStates he was a co-founder of the AWP RDF (A World Power Regional Defence Force)***. The RDF recently passed it's 200th mission and Rucket was the main builder of it in it's early stages, Neas and Death or Life were the main people who helped with the building of the RDF both of whom still play NationStates and are key members in the AWP community, however Death or Life left NationStates for a breif period until reterning in about October 2008. He was a key part in the "Updater Age" where he managed to get a dozen nations to enter a region in a matter of two or three minutes, everything being done precisly and accurately.

Rucket was made an administrator of the forum, the only one of two people (other being Biain the First to be made an administrator) apart from Neasmyrna. He helped shape the forums and made drastic changes to the forums, posting over 3000 non spam posts in the space of two months, approxametly 50 a day, and this meant he has been greatly remembered in the AWP community.

RDF MEMBER

MINISTER OF EDUCATION (now Liberty987)

MEMBER OF SENATE

OFFICIAL CARTOGROPHER

RECRUITER

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF AWP INQUIRER (now GreekAmerican and Lord Tothe)

REGIONAL RESERVE CHAIRMAN (minister of Defence is now Numero Capitan)

ADMINISTRATOR (now Biain the First)

These could be said to be the things that lead to him being so remembered in the AWP cimmunity when it has been over a year since he left. Maybe one of the major things that have led to his legacy is the fact that he Disappeared without retuning and so abruptly, many hope that he is still in the community today under a different name. He left the game while on a mission and this can say a lot about him, he dissapeared while he was on a mission for the thing that he had spent so long to build, the RDF . He was in the Rejected Realms at the time he left the game.

Not many people are remembered in the game. Rucket is one of few and we can say that maybe it is legacys like his that block out other notable characters like Jess0rz who recruited him. He was a key character in AWPs Rise to Fame.
