Considering that Osiris was the last region to join the GCR Sovereignty Accords, I do not see how that makes them the middle man. In any case, I think it makes sense to refer to people like NK & Dali as individuals rather than as part of some Empire conspiracy. NK is the only "Empire" person in Osiris' government.

Technically untrue. Dalimbar and Neenee are both citizens of Osiris, though their focus is elsewhere.

I don't know quite what their motivations were, since the Empire group was always close to Naivetry, and she was aware of the identities of both. I would guess it would be rallying support behind her against the "external" threats, since there was a lot of ill-will regarding the handover of the delegacy.

Biyah, Dali and Wham were involved in my coup of TSP; not from the start - they're not people I would have chosen to bring on board. However, it was pretty obvious that Devonitians was me, and they worked it out quicker than anyone else. Once they realised I had no intention of holding the region for myself and just wanted anyone but Southern Bellz to get the delegacy (well, or Fudgetopia), they brought in support for me so that GreenGremlins (Wham) could try to take the delegacy. Once that failed, they took the obvious step of trying for TRR again and attempting to undermine me there (with equally obvious results).

Ironically, when Wham was later delegate of TRR, I think he was involved in repairing relations with TSP, which had still been frosty as a result of my coup.

I don't think I've talked much about the Devonitians coup (aside from to myself), but it's been six years now, so there's no point keeping anyone's secrets.


Careful with the "they" In regards to the undermining you in TRR, or taking TRR. I had nothing to do with that. I was pissed at them for doing it. You don't do that stuff to region-mates. I also said I would not disclose your identity to anyone when you asked me to not to. I did not. Unfortunately I was talking to Dali, beforehand.

I also was involved in repairing relations with TSP,

Also while my WA was in the region, it had already been in the region at that time for about a month, maybe longer. It had a fair share of endos, so why not go for it. If I would have grabbed it, i had no plans on banjecting an nations. I wouldn't have tried anything to keep it. The region would have went back to the government of TSP. There would have been no point it trying to keep it for myself anyway, I didn't have the influence to keep it, Nor the desire to do that.

I was doing that simply because why not.

Also of note, while I was working with Biyah, and Dali, I was not working with The Empire, in an Empire conspiracy. It's hardly a secret I have considered them friends. Same with Wolfie who I was politically in game enemies with. :P

Sometimes I feel like NS is the weirdest game.

IC is separate from OC. And should be. But the lines can get blurry because we like are real people and not the programmed things you mindlessly kill\help with a quest\find 100 magic blueberries for\push off a cliff because game glitch\try to kill but can't push off a cliff or stab\etc.

IC I reserve the right to treat all enemies of TSP with disdain, discord, and other d words of d level non douchery. I mean I am collecting annoying GIFs just for you bros </3.

OC some of you are kind of fun and others drive me nuts ;)

Holy c#$& Uni, have you finally gone bonkers!? There is no secret menace, evil plan or dark deep schemes. I created the GCR Accords with Pierconium and Solorni, we made our goals visible in the text and we have been VERY open about it. We have even adapted the accords as per the needs of new members and their chosen government style.

Your totally unjustified, borderline ridiculous, never ending, evidence less paranoia is getting old. At least Cormac is able to take a fact and twist it with opinions to make it fun.

All jokes aside, the claims that empire is still doing stuff when they're really just hanging out in a couple of regions is absurd and overdone. If they wanted to do something I think they would have done it by now.

It is probably best that you don't try to awake a sleeping giant by claiming it is already wreaking havoc. Next topic please?

So... NK didn't convince Cormac to resign, handing over the reigns to the region to himself? Dali didn't get himself in a position to control TEP's foreign affairs, with the only agenda item being to get TEP into an alliance with several other regions Empire either outright controls or is influential in?

hm.

Quiz: Which Original Miniluver Are You?


You've been waiting your entire NationStates existence for this and just didn't know it until now.

By Cormac Skollvaldr




MINILUV - The Miniluv Messenger is pleased to present something you have all almost certainly been waiting four years to see. It's the best quiz that has ever graced NationStates, far better than any gameplay alignment quiz or whichever political quizzes float around General these days. The quiz to which I'm referring is, of course:



Options include yours truly, Koth, Venico, Tim, Astarial, McMasterdonia, Mad Jack (taken from us too soon by the wrath of [violet]) and... well, if I told you, I would have to banject you. And while I love doing that, it would be difficult at the moment because not all of you are in Osiris and I have not yet perpetrated my third coup there.

In all seriousness, I think I speak for all of the original Miniluvers in saying that I hope everyone enjoys this fun and light-hearted quiz. Please feel free to share it with your gameplay friends!
