I largely agree with a lot of what you're saying, but this confused me. Did they in fact run him out of the region and he just hasn't moved his nation out yet, or was that hyperbole, intended to convey that their behavior toward him was of a nature that it could run someone out of a region?
I'd like some clarification on this as well.
The tactics used are ones I've seen before in the region used to isolate, cut out and then force people to leave. Even when he had only recently entered the region several players received these rumors, including myself, of Islands being a double identity\alt\etc and therefore "OOC bad." None of those rumors were ever substantiated (from months ago) and nor have been substantiated in any way but continue to be the basis for attack behind the scenes to this date.
I tend to follow up with people directly at some point and determined that as far as I can tell Islands is a decent player and in some ways quite naive to the ways of politics. He also has a lot of potential to be a fair and good addition to any community because politeness and proactive approaches as well as collaboration matter to him. There are no OOC issues that NS players fear such as sexual harrassment or pedophilia. However, "security checks" have been conducted by alleged TSP "security people" as well. Just throwing out "we did security checks and its sketchy" without any actual evidence is the type of thing I will not accept particularly from this group of people.
In the case of Islands, since as recently as 10/12 these rumors about him being an alleged alt or other identity have been spread by Roavin himself without any evidence whatsoever to back them up. This is blatant fear mongering and meant to put an OOC issue (Islands is allegedly a alternate identity and therefore really bad) at the forefront of any conversation about him particularly through the backdoor shadow cabinets, control freak group's groupchats, and dms. The goal from the beginning is to "remove" Islands from TSP because as Roavin stated he thinks Islands is bad for the region. In what way? Well Roavin just doesn't like him. How was the "shadow cabinet" justified? Was it through "Islands is OOC sketchy and probably an alt?" because that type of gaslighting can't be fought without either Islands being forced to doxx himself or live with the allegations.
With TSP administration members using OOC allegations to get their political in game goals met, nothing that they say can be believed and moreso they don't even feel the need to substantiate anything they say because there are no consequences. Their much lauded solution to this issue is stop posting on NSGP so they don't have to face critiques.
Players keep telling me that Roavin disavows the TSP administration's use of OOC harrassment referencing to myself and Tim in private DMs. Shocking, right because he continues say whatever seems necessary in situations for him to hold onto whatever vestiges of power he can grab. Administration using two faced shady backdoor "say one thing publicly and another privately" for political aims is the kind of repulsive administration and gameplay that NSGP doesn't need. At least two admins have "explained" in private to other admin that their public TSP admin notice was "wrongly worded" or "misinterpreted" but they are continuing to stand by it publicly.
How long can players last in TSP when the administration is spreading rumors about them being "sketchy" and "obviously someone else" that continue, after months, to be unsubstantiated? Eventually the player gives up or in the case of TSP admin the admin will make up a reason for a politcal ban by using OOC reasons. "Is a shady alt" is being prepped as a reason for Islands for months now.
So how long can he last in this kind of hostile and demeaning environment? You tell me.
