[quote=Herzinth] Zarinsk (originally Zarinskaya) was a train station established in 1952. It became an urban-type settlement in 1958, and wasn't a town until 1979.By the same token, Kazakhstan was just another part of Russia at that time, and in fact when it had it's first brief moment of independence in 1917, it was referred to as the Alash Autonomy.Jorick doesn't have very many specific details for me to look into, and Lukas Kelly got through by the skin of his teeth in terms of California. [/quote] Thank you for noticing the blunders I have made in my character's history section. And with that note, I'm done. I can admit to being wrong (me fat-fingering a decimal's place with the Boer War was kind of important, as is Kazakhstan to a degree. Zarinsk was more or less nitpicking as I could have claimed a fictional town instead), but if I wanted to research pre-Great War international history in my free time I'd take it as a college elective. Are you right? Yes, you are. Did it need correcting? Debatable. Was it all that important? Not in the slightest. Could you have pointed something like that out to me a little more tactfully via PM? Apparently not, so I can already tell that I'm not going to enjoy this ride. I'm not overly fond of another individual that's here either (or his friend by proxy. Unfair, I know, but still) and was borderline on staying or leaving once they showed up, but now it's become clear. So goodbye. If I wished everyone good luck and to have fun with their RP it would sound sarcastic, so I'll just not leave any insults or arguments behind instead.
