I usually have no problem voting for people who are about to get commended, but I'm going to have to go against this one. Over a year ago, I had returned to NationStates after a couple of months of a break from it. Upon returning, I saw 10000 Islands as a good place to restart. This would have been my second time joining the region; the first time was a visit from a couple of years ago. I had no record against 10000 Islands in terms of gameplay or on their RMB. Before I knew it, I was banjected by Woonsocket for completely unknown reasons. Quite a rude awakening.

I telegrammed them demanding a reason for my banjection, the crickets go chirping, so I proceeded to move on, something that life tends to teach often. Maybe they have outstanding achievements with TITO, but such doesn't matter to me. It's no from me dawg.
'Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.' (II Timothy 4:1-5 NKJV)

Ppl in regional governments don't need a reason to eject and ban someone to the rejected realms.

The Chief Executive rarely issues a ban and there is a procedure in place for appeal if there is a ban under the Ban Audit Act I believe. I suggest you approach Markanite about your ban and he will consider the request, if it is reasonable.

Ndaku was a former WA delegate and prominent member of the region Union of Confederate Regions, which we all know very well. While UCR had its founder deleted for reason we all know we can't state here, they were also raider at one point. If I remember correctly Ndaku was banned from XKI for those reasons, and I believe they also participated in raids?? Everyone knows our stance on raiding and the other things that can't be mentioned here.

So it seems like your people perceived our gameplay moves as raiding. Here's a little bit of history: the military of the UCR when I was the president at the time was called OATO, the One Army Treaty Organization, and it stemmed off of a former defending alliance called DRANS (Defender Region Alliance of NationStates), created long ago in 2014. We aimed to defend our allies, hence the subsequent formation of the UCR, for 'Confederate' in 'Union of Confederate Regions', was Langor's term to indicate regions that were politically allied to us.

When DRANS was still in action, our intentions were to execute purely defensive tactics against The Black Riders and other raiding organizations, big and small, that harmed the nativity of various regions. In other words, I've always been a defender, personally. I recall that we tried to ally with the UDL, but such requests went cold, for they believed our works to be that of raiding. From DRANS to OATO, our intentions were to literally restore the nativity of harmed regions. There were also some times we were at 'war' with other smaller regions at the time. But I assure you, I personally was always for defending.

When it comes to Langor, his hiccups began to rise to the surface while I was away, but I knew him personally, and he was simply a depressed and extremely lonely individual who didn't have many friends IRL. He also was a suicidal person. I spoke to Langor offsite concerning his hiccup and assured to let him know that it was wrong.

Therefore, with all of this being said, if you guys use the fact that we defending wrongly to justify my banjection from 10K islands, that's really your problem, because raiding was never something I wanted to do, simply because of the works of The Black Riders. If you also base the fact that I was associated with Langor and OATO of my banjection, is that really justice? Would that be implying that I advocate Langor's muck, and pose a threat while being in 10K islands? Man, you guys would be completely out of your minds if this is so.

Again, I really don't care if you regard or disregard what I've said concerning my banjection because it really do be like that sometimes. I count it satisfactory that I was able to speak my mind on this. Congrats to Woonsocket.
