[Markanite]

I'll start off with the 38th Knight of TITO, Walabamba.

Walabamba was one of the first people I met when I arrived here, from the outset they were amazing. Their friendship was one of the reasons I stayed around! I served with them in the MOE and I learned so much from them. Outside of defending, welcoming and helping other nations, he was an accomplished kayaker and went all over North America with his family kayaking! Wherever they are now, I hope all is well with them.

Does it have to be specifically about TITO activities? Markanite recruited me to XKI almost 6 months ago and I've never regretted joining. I started playing NS thinking it was something to keep me busy for a few minutes while waiting for water to boil and never thought I'd luck into a community with a vibrant culture and rich history.

[Flying Eagles]

Let’s go to the 122nd knight. I had the honour of serving with Dokansia as their deputy while he was the New Republica South Senator. He was a great friend to me during those 4 months making it not just a joy to come up with debate ideas, but also a joy to discuss the struggles and successes of life as teenagers going through high school on the other side of the world. He’s also one of the proudest Aussies you’ll meet! Thanks Dok.

[Valentian Elysium]

There're many amazing people listed here, but I just want to mention knight #118, Wischland .

I was here for about half a year before Wisch arrived, but we quickly became friends. We used to just chat and vibe in the discord, just talking about how our days were...and it was good. We played Minecraft together, alongside knight #122 Dokansia. Her kindness and care made her a good and down-to-earth delegate. By the time I got to TITO she wasn't as active, however, and half a year later she stepped down, but we still had some good times defending against raiders. She is not very active anymore, but I know that she is doing well and hasn't completely forgotten NS yet . Glad to call you a friend, Wisch.

[Jabberwocky]

#100: Siuts was a great friend of mine. An enormous help learning to navigate the forums; a huge supporter when I started The Mad Surfer. He taught me the ropes in TITO, helped me learn to defend. When he was Senior Senator of New Republica South, I was his assistant. He taught me to run Sic Bo Sunday. I still miss him.

Lethoica also helped me with TITO,teaching me to lead a defense. Along with Siuts, he gave me a lot of advice when I became Senior Senator of New Republica South.

#101, Kozmix, just a good friend who wrote a column for The Mad Surfer.

#98, Tiki, another good friend, gone.

#95, Farun of the maniacal laughter.

TITO Knights 44 and 75 -Valoniah- and NeoYundar originally went by Valoniah and Yundar but due to an error by the NS mods, they were deleted as they thought they were multi-ing. The truth was they were twin brothers and it was an honest mistake because of IPs. When Valoniah got married, he shared his wedding photos with us all.

One of the first people I met here was SovietPrussia, he lived in England and really wanted Northern Ireland to remain in the United Kingdom. The discussions around this were one of the first ever political discussions I had online.

The Enigmatic Nation/Legion was the MOE when I joined. I was a buddy at the time and didn't know how to deal with a nation, he gave me advise and had my back. I remember thinking I hope to help Islanders and do the same.
