Valoniah here again with Small Talk. Today we have an interesting and melancholy topic....
Everything ends eventually, childhood, college, a career, good or bad, it will not last forever. With this in mind, NationStates will one day end, and with that, XKI will come to an end. The question is, who will be the last Islander?
Val: Lets start with Ketab today, who do you think will be the last Islander Ketab?
Ketab: I believe Grub will probably be the last islander. He brought this region into being back in 2003 and has remained active for all this time so it would stand to reason that even after the islands start to lose occupants he will stay to the end and likely be the last to leave.
Val: First to get here, last to leave, I could see that. What do you think Glasgia?
Glasgia: Grub. There will be many other devoted islanders who will stay until there are just a few left, but Grub is the one who will watch his creation go down in flames. To the end, always to the end.
However, we must stop this from happening. I may not be an active recruiter, but the moment we begin to fail, every, man woman and child must pick up arms. We cannot lose TITO, the forums, our wonderful RMB or the amazing community. We cannot lose 10KI.
Val: I feel motivated by your response. Someone play some Journey! I like the part about Grub going down in flames with his region. That would be epic. Minna, who do you think will be the last Islander?
Minna: Who will stick it out to the last? That is an excellent question! My gut response is... Why would NS ever end??! I think Grub most definitely will be the last Islander standing however, I think a few more people would as well, namely Wordy. She gives her heart and soul to this place I can't imagine her ever saying goodbye. I certainly hope not!! AD is another one I can see hanging in there tooth and nail. I can't honestly ever see myself leaving. I thought I would have to give it up a couple times but every time I tried to say goodbye I just couldn't do it. This place is paradise!
Val: A few things stick out to me. You think Grub as well. I didn't think it would be Grub, but I don't know the man that well. But now that I think about it, he's been around for almost 10 years, if he hasn't quit by now, I don't think he will. Also you mentioned this place is your paradise. I agree, there are so many awesome people here that keep me coming back. I'd never have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people if not for XKI. I hope XKI lasts for years and years to come.
I encourage readers to add their thoughts to this post! Stay tuned in for the next edition of Small Talk!
