A couple of Defenderists throwing their toys out of the pram is hardly a backlash!

So much for unbiased reporting!

Not all those who opposed Georgie's campaign platform were defenders. Some of us just didn't want TSP to become a raider region or have a significant bias towards raiding. Even then, it shouldn't matter if those voicing their concerns were raiders or defenders. They are citizens of The South Pacific. That is all that matters.

Indeed. Hell, I myself even supported SB's platform, although obviously I have my own ideas for how to bring activity to the NSA.

The article, however, does get my platform wrong. It wasn't to make TSP a raider region, it was to make the NSA an army that most often raids, in a similar style to when I created the Medjai Guard in Osiris (which remained an active and effective force until I was forced to go WA immobile when I took on first the Kai Repat and then Pharaoh roles).

BACHTENDEKUPPEN IS THE NEW PETER CAPALDI !!
November 8, 2013.

CAPITAL DISTRICT, THE EAST PACIFIC –-- Bachtendekuppen has been elected as the next Peter Capaldi of The East Pacific; the outgoing delegate has said his congrats to the new Peter Capaldi. The regeneration is expected to be brief and relatively painless.

Todd "I-Don't-Wanna-Go" McCloud told NSNE, "A good region isn't afraid of giving its promising new members a chance at the seat, and we had three very good and very qualified people for the job. Bach was chosen by the region in an election that was quite active and received many votes. For that alone, I believe he'll be just fine, and will continue TEP's dominance in the NS world".

Bachtendekuppen won the election 18-13. A very tight race indeed!

Given your almost complete lack of votes, I'm surprised that you didn't vote for yourself.

Congratulations to Bach.

I considered it, but it wouldn't have accomplished anything and it doesn't look good.

It can be a bit daunting being in the seat the first time. It is unfortunate because some people may want to see you fail. But don't worry about that, and just keep working towards your goals and for the betterment of TEP as much as you can.

Congrats Bach.

Thank you, I will.

Congratulations Bach. Naturally, you have to have a second term after an absence, in order to maintain conservation of pun.

CHAIRWOMAN HARMONEIA RESIGNS, CHAIRMAN MILOGRAD APPOINTED
November 11, 2013.

SCARLET CITY, LAZARUS –-- Breaking news from the Scarlet City. Chairwoman Harmoneia has announced her resignation, citing her increasingly demanding life as the reason for her resignation.

“I love Lazarus and I believe she deserves nothing but the best,” says Harmoneia, “Hence, I have decided to appoint Vice-Chairman Milograd to the position of Chairman”.

Announcing Milograd as her successor is sure to be a controversial choice in some places, however on the subject of Lazarus’s future, Harmoneia had this to say to her followers:

“I believe that Lazarus is on a productive path and that Milograd will be able to continue what we all started here, and that a more independent, stronger, and lively Lazarus will be the result of his term”.

Are you freaking kidding me.

Best to luck to Harm in real life.

by **Cerian Quilor** » Mon Nov 11, 2013 7:46 pm

well, I knew this was coming, I just didn't expect Harmoneia to do her scripted part quite so soon.

Onwards in the Glorious March to Harmony!

by **McMasterdonia** » Mon Nov 11, 2013 8:17 pm

Best of luck to Harmoneia with her real life studies and work and good luck to Milograd.

In unrelated news, the Capitalist Paradise stock exchange surged on futures betting on a purge in Lazarus. Milograd's appointment sent prices skyrocketing, as traders bet on the inevitability of a future purge.

Well, this is a completely unsurprising development.

In related news, favorability for Afforess increased 5% within Kantrias' public opinion secondly tracking poll. Respondents cite his anti-Milograd snark as a boost in his approval ratings within the Kingdom of the Gavel and Sword.

In a late-breaking development, the pretend newscaster thing has just reached the point where it should not be continued. More on this story at 8.

What I want to know is my favorability rating in Kantrias... like "-64%" ??

I imagine my ratings moved me up from being the 'face on toilet paper rolls', to 'a favorite of marksman targets'.

I'm pretty sure my face is on the bottom of their toilet bowls.

I'm the subject of their Two Minutes Hate.

well, back when you delivered updates to the UDL embassy on the Kantrias forums, you were at 10%. Now you're at 1%

@Afforess: Actually, you were at 20%.

@Mahaj: You're at 0%

Kantrias doesn't have a two minute hate. We have a Non Stop Hate!
