Also: There's a movement growing of people who refuse to register on Laz's forums due to this unruly use of power.

I smell a next issue.

Aha. As Lazarene, I have to say, that I don't see this movement - but outsiders clearly know better whats going on in my home. Solid journalism. I appreciate that.

So now, after months and months of hating on Lazarus, bashing on DYP during his service with the PRL, and constantly harping about how the true natives of Lazarus didn't support the PRL, DYP is suddenly a true native now that he's gone? Wonderful logic NES! Bravo!

It's just dripping with logic isn't it?

It's a bad omen for the PRL to see DYP leave, the veterans are sick of the PRL and are smartening up.

I know right? I mean, when he was the general of our army for months, when he temporarily assumed the delegacy to protect the region from a coup attempt, when he supported the establishment of the PRL, he definitely wasn't a true native :P

I think it has everything to do with treating enemies in this game. Yeah, I and everyone else gets into scuffles with others on here. But at the end of the day, you respect most of them, even if you disagree with them, and having them leave a region after being there for a long time or leave the game, well, sucks, for loss of better words.

On the other hand, even if he supported the PRL or any other occupying factions, his longevity suggests he is indeed a native of the region. But seriously, we should totally not turn this into a 'definition of a native' debate thread.

Nonsense. I never once said DYP wasn't a true native of Lazarus. The fact though was that a considerable number of other true natives of Lazarus were removed illegally upon the establishment of the PRL. And yes I gave him some shit, cause I was disappointed that he chose to support the imperialist purges.

But I always knew how it'd end up. A defender dictatorship, that even he didn't want to be a part of. They only wanted him for the legitimacy and in-game influence he could provide them - once the PRL became powerful enough to survive on it's own, his opinion became irrelevant.

Don't you say? I have to wonder but it could rely on the fact that DYP isn't the Delegate of Lazarus today.
