what's that?

Probably the 94 block thing will be swept under the rug... general reactions to forum destroyers are based 100% around convenience and the politics at the time.

Think there's more chance of TBR supporting me than Stu

Yet you are the commander of Project Soul. So who's orders are they?

Nephmir is not known to have enjoyed significant influence over The Association of Imperialism at any point in its brief history.

Yeah, unless you count him being in a high ranking government position. But that's totally irrelevant.

Non-Partisan! Good one Tim! Youd have to use heavily prescribed sunglasses to not see the partisanship

I am one of a few commanders, not the commander.

So how does that work? You're each responsible for one-fifth of a decision? I suppose we wouldn't want to overtax you.

Neph you apologize this instant for being a and not the commander.

Regardless if you are endorsing wear it proudly.

FRANCOGRAD - On Saturday, retired Senator A mean old man of the New Pacific Order, the regime that has ruled The Pacific for more than a decade, confirmed what many had already suspected: The NPO is responsible for the coup d'etat perpetrated by rogue Delegate Stujenske in Lazarus. In his announcement, A mean old man, or AMOM as he is often called, declared that the rogue regime of Lazarus will be known as the New Lazarene Order.

The rogue NLO is now sharing a forum with the NPO, and yesterday the regime announced formation of the NLO Senate. The rogue Senate is comprised of Stujenske, now declared Emperor, as well as Regent The Sweet Leaf, Viceroy Pergamon, and Senators Milograd (Yao), Kazmr, Neo Kervoskia, and Avakael. Milograd led the 2013 coup d'etat against The South Pacific and Neo Kervoskia has participated in coups d'etat and attempted coups against Osiris and other Feeders and Sinkers. Avakael's addition to this rogues' gallery, with his affiliations to Unknown and Lone Wolves United, highlights the substantial support the regime is receiving from foreign invading forces. The Communist Bloc, under the leadership of President Zenny Winter, is also supporting the rogue regime, and support from forum destroyer 94 Block and his band of assorted invaders continues.

Native purges have begun in earnest since declaration of the NLO. At the time of this writing, nearly two hundred natives and supporters remain on the ban list of Lazarus, which has been cleared of fascists, adspammers, and others legitimately banned from Lazarus to make way for the purge of more natives. An exact count of natives purged from Lazarus is unknown at this time. The rogue Delegate briefly left the region during major update on Tuesday morning so that Milograd could assume the Delegacy to eject and ban Trackeendy, an eight year native with relatively high regional influence. Upon assuming the Delegacy, Milograd briefly flew the flag of the People's Republic and changed his national pre-title to "Chairman Emeritus," leading many to believe that he was taking the side of the Lazarene Underground State and would liberate the region. This was quickly revealed to be a deception, described by onlookers as "needlessly cruel" and "petty."

While the rogue regime continues to purge native Lazarenes from their home, the Lazarene Underground State has successfully completed a plebiscite of no confidence against rogue Delegate Stujenske. The People's Republic of Lazarus in Exile is now proceeding with an election for Chairman. The new Chairman and his State Council will face the daunting task of liberating Lazarus from an entrenched rogue regime, though optimism among Lazarenes remains high. Former Chairman Funkadelia and State Council Governors Ainin and The Church of Satan have announced their candidacy. Cameron, another candidate, was forced to withdraw from the race due to technical difficulties that are limiting his activity. Natives and foreign observers alike have highlighted the contrast between the orderly, democratic process being followed by the government-in-exile and the lawless and tyrannical actions of the rogue regime.

AMOM's stunning revelation of the NLO has led The East Pacific, The North Pacific, The South Pacific, Osiris, and The Rejected Realms to sever diplomatic relations with the NPO, the most significant break between the NPO and other Feeders and Sinkers in years. Other regions are considering termination of relations with the NPO or have already taken steps toward termination. Announcement of the annexation of Lazarus by the NPO and the swift diplomatic consequences that followed soon after have led to greater scrutiny, however, of the Feeder and Sinker that have not severed relations: The West Pacific and Balder.

In The West Pacific, former Delegate and Guardian Punk Daddy has called into question the role of Elegarth in the government of The West Pacific. Elegarth, who yesterday resigned from the NPO Senate, recently served as Speaker of the Holy Grand Assembly of The West and is campaigning for Prime Minister. Some have speculated that transfer of his main, WA nation to The West Pacific may indicate that Elegarth is next in line for the Delegacy, leaving observers to wonder if the West Pacific Order is on the horizon. Elegarth denies any personal involvement with the coup d'etat in Lazarus or any nefarious purpose in either The West Pacific or The North Pacific, where he also resides. Delegate Darkesia and several other West Pacificans have expressed their confidence in Elegarth's loyalty to The West Pacific.


Meanwhile, in Balder, Queen Rachel Eriksen (Solorni) has established a regional flag that is similar to the NLO flag and the NPO flag from which the former is derived, has begun construction of in-game embassies with Lazarus, and has announced the Grand Nordic Order of Balder, initially the New Balder Order. These controversial decisions have been accompanied by a royal decree that has abolished the Riksdag, Balder's assembly legislature, and announcement that Balder will soon reveal a new plan for its future ideology and governance. Nonetheless, the government of Balder has insisted that a coup d'etat has not taken place, that Balder has not been annexed by the NPO, and that the region has not joined any alliance with the NPO or the NLO. The Queen has, however, announced that Balder will not support the Lazarene Underground State, alleging that support was offered but rebuffed, and has stated that Balder does not view and has never viewed the People's Republic as the legitimate government of Lazarus.

The Miniluv Messenger will bring you more coverage of the coup d'etat in Lazarus and the broader crisis in Feeder and Sinker relations as the story develops.

Correction: Avakael is not significantly affiliated with Lone Wolves United, but rather with The Brotherhood of Malice. The Miniluv Messenger regrets the error.

So... let me see here...

Balder is being weird.
TCB still doesn't care about its public image.
TWP has their blinders on.
Milograd was Milogradding.
Avakael attained membership at purgatory.

and best of all..

The PRL is having elections, while the NLO is having ejections.
Francoists are gaining the support of userites and losing the support of GCR's.

In hindsight, I should have just written this.

I know, I'm great at turning long articles into a series of one-liners.

Good article, these events can be hard to follow among all the bias and self fellating essays saying essentially nothing.

Thanks! I can't say I'm not biased, but I do try to report facts -- fortunately, facts also seem to be against the NPO/NLO.

The theme says otherwise.

In all fairness, being weird is the Balder Way, so in my mind, we're just being normal

No. Some of us are keeping a close eye on what's happening in our region. Our official stance is neutral, but that doesn't stop some of us despising the NPO.

*nods* I choose to trust Elegarth. That doesn't quite equate to having the blinders on. And I'm certainly not keen on this NPO invasion-coup-extraordinaire thingy.

As for neutrality, you know TWP's stance on the issue of Delegacies and legitimacy.

Why am I listed as an LWU member? I haven't raided with the wolves since, what... 2009?

You've reportedly been participating with them lately.

And what of AMOM's recent post on Lazarus' rmb which states that he is now Emperor of the NLO?
