I'm familiar with the reasoning, but it still didn't make strategic sense. You could have left the identity of your operative concealed and, had his RL situation changed and had he again become more active somewhere down the road, he could have resumed his role as an operative. Even if you have other operatives, I fail to see how blowing the cover of one who reached the office of Arch-Chancellor was a good idea. The trust he built up could still have been exploited later if his RL situation permitted his return. Revelation of the operation hasn't yielded any obvious benefit for The New Inquisition aside from brief public embarrassment of the FRA.

Your arguments assume that it is possible that his real life circumstances might have changed in the future. We have a better understanding of that.

Isn't player impersonation illegal? Nevermind, a question for the mods.

Malicious impersonation is illegal. This is clearly done in a satirical fashion, even if some unfortunates haven't grasped that yet.

Alright, thanks. For the record, I don't believe it but I won't deny it would be possible

It's not. Tim and Onder have had conversations on this forum. The mods object rather strongly to players conversing with themselves between puppets, if I've observed correctly.

Not to mention that offsite they have separate IPs on the same forum without use of proxy.

Lets face it, someone would have to be several sandwiches short of a picnic to believe Tim = Onder.

FRA Update - August 2016

Founderless Regions Alliance Update - August 2016


Greetings Friends and Allies,

It's already been a year since our last post, and since then there's been a lot of changes in the leadership of the FRA!

Recently, some changes were made to the Charter that eliminated the elected cabinet. Now, the Chancellor of the Alliance is elected, and is free to choose their Cabinet ministers and what the scope of their ministry is.

Following the elections, which closed on the 15th, I was elected as the second Chancellor under this system. I'm excited to be one of the first to try this new system out, and I hope to see a lot of success under it. I've decided to keep Dyr Nasad as our Chief of Defence to help me run the Rangers and start to reinvigorate them going forward. I look forward to working closely with him in the months ahead on our efforts. I also plan on appointing two new Cabinet positions -- A new Regional Liaison Officer to help out our member regions and aid them in their development. I also plan on appointing a Foreign Outreach Officer to help me in making sure we don't go another year long span without posting another update, and also to assist me in incorporating new regions into our Alliance.

I also plan on personally checking in with our defender allies to see if they need any help with the development of their military, and to help coordinate our friends and allies together in our military efforts. Even though not everyone is interested in joining the Alliance, I still feel an obligation to our friends to make sure they have every bit of help they need to develop strong and capable militarizes for themselves.

As of late, the Rangers have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to help defending run smoothly and efficiently, and we've had some great results! In the coming weeks, I look forward to completely revamping the Rangers' efforts, and hopefully by the end of my term Ranger enrollment will have expanded considerably.

I'm really grateful to be afforded the opportunity to lead the FRA, and I am really looking forward to a positive and constructive term ahead!

Thank you so much for reading.

Funkadelia,
Chancellor of the Founderless Regions Alliance

Good luck, Funk! It sounds like you have a real plan for revitalizing the FRA's influence and power in Gameplay. A potential round of expansion sounds really interesting...

Given that he's banned from the FRA forum, nope. I was serious when I said they could not have. :P

Indeed, and probably would have been much better off. I'm a far more effective polarizing ideologue than Funkadelia. ;)

I dunno, I've got faith in Arch-Chancellor Funkadelia. Some say he's going to build a wall and make Onderkelkia pay for it. It would be fitting as part of the glorious vision to Make FRA Great Again!

When they send their people, they're not sending their best. They're not sending you. They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing imperialism. They're bringing raiderdom. Some, I assume, are good people.
