Lazarus Free Press: "Funk is losing," says long-time native

[Killer Kitty]

There is no one being interviewed, the "Press" just made up some likely responses for their own benefit.

And besides, the following hardly looks realistic, doesn't it?:

A second after unendorsing Funk, Killer Kitty unendorsed me

And this "native" called the government "the Rule of Three."

No one outside the Revolt is pushing the whole "Gang of Three" or "Rule of Three" vernacular, mostly because it's totally lame.

It's obvious that "Free Press" made up a fake interview with a fake person. Make you wonder what other lies the Revolt has been telling.

[Lazarus Free Press (Ancient)]

It's obvious that "Free Press" made up a fake interview with a fake person.

We reached out to our subscribers and the response was incredible. The interviews of native residents we received back, like this one, were real and powerful, revealing the inner thoughts of native Lazarenes on the occupation without fear of reprisal or retaliation. There's no fabrication, only the raw truth.

Anonymity invited natives to speak freely about your occupation - a regime they didn't feel comfortable speaking freely about otherwise. What that says about your regime's respect for the freedom of expression is up to others to infer...

You literally linked to your own article, this article, as proof that this article is real.

Just how gullible do you think your readers are to not see through your lies? Have you no shame, sir?

It's not like you have much room to talk when you consistently lie about being a founder of a fascist region

[Killer Kitty]

Oh? I made up an entire interview and told everyone it was a "scared native"? I don't recall that.

I understand you're upset about the Revolt's Press being so thoroughly unmasked as pushers of lies, Canton, but there is no reason to take your frustration out on me.

I'm not frustrated. I'm pointing out the irony of your statement, because it's coming from someone who cherry picked and manipulated laws, and then further lied about Funks regime not being a coup. You lied when you said you were serving on the court legally, you lied when you said there was no voter importation. All that's coming from you has been lie, lie, lie. I'm sure you're a very fine person, but I'd wish you'd just call your coup a coup.

I never lied about that. I own up to my shortcoming Funk. I only wish you had enough honor to do the same. If you survive the next few weeks (and that's a big if) you'll be tarred by the lies you told to commit this act.

Well, it's not like you refused to acknowledge your many flagrant violations of our region's constitution before this coup, or maintained the facade that somehow the entire offsite community of our region was somehow planning a plot against our community, or labeled anyone who questioned your tyranny in the slightest as a subversive, or took a grace period for negotiation as an opportunity to perform a coup d'etat, or deflected accusations against you by playing the Whataboutism game with Constie. You have consistently stared down evidence in the face and then argued that it somehow implicates us instead of you. Your crimes are plain for all to see, yet you continue to prod everyone who will listen into turning a blind eye and accusing the side which has always been transparent about its intentions and methods of being the true lawbreakers here.

I don't think a regime which has consistently and unflinchingly lied to its people and to the world on a regular basis has nearly the credibility to be questioning this outlet. If the person being interviewed came out and publicly stated that this article is legit, well, they'd be stupid to do that, wouldn't they? The banhammer is but one click away for them.

This triumvirate is built on lies. Every step of the way has been a grander and less believable stretch of the truth, and the people of Lazarus and Gameplay simply are not buying it. Lies will only get you so far before the truth prevails.

So you admit this article is just a pure fabrication and your only defense is "but you guys are the real liars!"?

It's very telling that the Revolt has resorted to outright manufacturing tabloids. Clearly their movement is losing steam.

But of course it is. To use Ike's own words "Lies will only get you so far before the truth prevails." Clearly the Revolt is hitting the end of the line.

[East Kerbin]

I personally think all of this news is fabricated.

Damn, we must be really losing steam with the endorsement gap having dropped by over 60 and our movement closer than ever to victory... what's telling is the sheer desperation of the regime to continually ignore any logical challenge to their narrative. Maybe if you had nothing to hide, and nothing to ignore, you'd bother to fight facts with facts.

Ah yes. Very close to victory.

The Revolt is so close to victory, one of their members was caught on Discord offering stamps to invader groups in exchange for support.

The Revolt is so close to victory, they've been relying on The South Pacific to send out unendorsement telegrams because they can't be bothered to do it themselves.

Yes, I have no doubt the Revolt is very, very close to "victory".

Without our consent, as you very well know. That event has blown over, and Lenly is gone, so this really holds no water.

I'm sure we are. It's not like the sustained campaign from actual Lazarenes within the region with stamps we bought ourselves means much to you.

Whatever you say, Herr Wolf.

Yes, I have no doubt the Revolt is very, very close to "victory".

60 endorsements closer, to be specific.

[Funkadelia]

Hey, so why are you flying a Grey Wardens flag right now, Warden Ike? I didn't know The Grey Wardens agreed to support your coup.

You know, last time this happened, I was the one who didn't know his history. Weren't you a Warden once? I thought maybe you might be familiar with the history of this flag, that of the Spear Danes, one which I made myself. Created, in fact, for the pan-ideology coalition of gameplayers who were jumping against fascists in Femdom Empire late last year. But I'm sure you knew that already. If I wanted to fly a Grey Wardens flag, I would be flying one.

Uh 60 endorsements closer you say? Can I have the name of the revolt person you are supporting? It seems by the current ratio of how much funk is losing to how much loft is earning, Funk will still be the WA Delegate long enough to regain support.

EDIT: I don't know how the future will go out, but Funkadelia can banject people anytime of the day.

Really? Because it's the same flag sans red that is flying over Spear Danes. If it was created for whatever you say it is, why are they still flying it over their jump point. Clearly, your flag is Grey Wardens imagery, so I'm really curious as to why the "spokesman" for the conspirators would be flying it with a pretitle and motto also referencing The Grey Wardens. If you ask me, Warden Ike, this looks like you're doing this in the name of The Grey Wardens, or at least for defenders, which would also help to explain the fact that The South Pacific continues to send nations in to attempt to invade Lazarus.

The resistance is supporting Loftegen, who has 128 endorsements as of this post. Funk currently has 191 as of this post.

Funk started with 265 or so, so he has lost over 70 endorsements, and that isn't accounting those cancelled out by his support. The Resistance is certainly successful.

This is very ironic considering how much you push back on you being a LWU puppet

Because, if you cared to actually learn about the propaganda you're spewing, Spear Danes was used as the jump point against the fascists, in a long and drawn-out operation to fight Nazi pilers. I was there for that. Were you? Or are you that desperate to tie everything back to actual Grey Wardens involvement? I'm still the same Warden I was yesterday, and last week, and last month. Nothing has changed. I am proud to be both a Lazarene and a Warden. Would you prefer instead to discuss the concerning imagery of Lamb's flag concerning a wolf in sheep's clothing?

The flag flies over the jump point both because it is fitting for a region called Spear Danes, and as a testament to the operation. If you don't like that, you're free to spin it into whatever narrative you like, but don't let that distract from the fact that the cabal ruling Lazarus is comprised almost entirely of Lone Wolves United members. I refuse to make my membership in the Grey Wardens a political matter as far as this is concerned, unless you feel like finally proclaiming the LWU puppeting of our region.

Judging by the current situation and statistics, there are multiple possible outcomes:

• Funakdelia just banjects anybody who is close to his endorsement count, but not part of the government.
• The Resistance succeeds in taking the delegacy, with a 40% possibility of Lazarus turning into a disaster full of raiding due to government collapse.
• Funkadelia regains support from Lazarus, creating a larger endorsement gap.
• Funkadelia receives foreign support.
• Other things.

Success is when the Resistance takes the delegacy. There is no success in achieving nothing.

Momentum and progress towards victory is what I call success. Of course, Theresa May might not see it that way.

The first part isn't true. Funk and co. literally can't ban those closet to him. He wasted a ton of influence on Amerion and others
