And I'll take full responsibility for it taking until the 17th to get to R3N, Xoriet - I was told on the 9th, that you had contacted someone on the 8th, at which point I was already on the road for the first leg of a week long, 2000 mile road trip over spring break. After a week on my phone, if I had any signal at all, I got in late on the 16th. As R3N stated, I poked him initially the very next day, the 17th. I prodded him again with a reminder a week later, on the 24th. He got to it today, now that apparently some people told him people were bitching in GP about it not being done. I apologized to him that he was being dragged into it as a political mess, rather than a simple technical task, and life goes on.

Sorry that it took three weeks to happen, but again Xor, if at any point during those three weeks you had considered coming to ask for a progress update on it getting done, you could have been told exactly what the situation was, and if you'd at any point noted that it was time sensitive, we would have done our best to make it happen a little faster. It was not at all necessary to make you withdrawing your quote from our propaganda a public point of contention.

But, while I am unfortunately forced to set the record straight on what should be a simple matter here in public anyways, let me go all the way in terms of clearing the air. Excuse me if I'm being a bit "haughty" about this, but you're claiming at the moment, in regards to our use of your quote in propaganda, that:

"When I gave that, I wasn't aware what it was going to be used for"

Your own words, from the request to us that it be removed. Well, that's absolute crap too, you knew exactly what it would be used for. You can go log into the "Anera" skype account if you would like to check for yourself.

[5/24/2016 15:55:04] EWSouls - TBH: We're considering targeting arrivals to defender regions for recruitment. Would you prove a sound bite or two about why raiding is better than defending?
[5/24/2016 16:03:13] EWSouls - TBH: Provide*
[5/24/2016 16:03:24] Anera: Are you looking for Xoriet or Anera?
[5/24/2016 16:03:29] Anera: It might be better from the former :P
[5/24/2016 16:03:54] EWSouls - TBH: The ex fenda
[5/24/2016 16:03:55] EWSouls - TBH: :O
[5/24/2016 16:04:14] Anera: I made a RMB post with Ayv a while back that sums up my sentiments. I'll paraphrase it here.
[5/24/2016 16:17:55] Anera: Or I guess I won't find it <_<
[5/24/2016 16:17:59] Anera: I'll just do my best here.
[5/24/2016 16:20:38] Anera: "Defending was a fun time for me, but it was filled with restrictions and I was under a lot of pressure to always meet a really high standard. Full-time raiding has been...pardon the reverse pun here...a genuinely liberating experience for me, in contrast."


It doesn't get much more clear than that.

Quit your bullshit, Xor.




TEP, sorry this went down in your thread. I don't think there's anything else to be added after this.

Imperial Statement From The Eastern Loligarch Order

It has come to our attention that restricting cosmopolitans and current citizens from entry or retaining their external loyalties does not affect what they can do within the region. As of the moment of publication, all citizens have hereby been banned from taking citizenship in other regions after obtaining citizenship in The East Pacific.

External relations will be controlled by the Office of Cosmopolitan Control, a new branch of government which will be investigating all citizens currently and in the future. Any failures to disclose external affiliations either before or after entry into The East Pacific will be punishable by exile, after a day’s grace period to revoke external citizenships or affiliations.

Any userite regions concealing an East Pacifican citizen’s membership in their region will be warned on the first offense, and proscribed on the second offense. In extreme situations, proscription will come before a warning. Any attempts at poaching East Pacificans for userite gain will have our gratitude in the form of a blacklist.

With the Concordat’s revocation and The East Pacific’s declaration of War on userites, any offenses against the region by either citizen or foreign region attempting to poach citizens will not be tolerated under any circumstances.

Hail Pacifica!


Signed,

Queen Yuno, Loligarch of The East Pacific

Xoriet, Ocelempress of The East Pacific

Aeneas Prime, Secretary of State

Elfine, Overseeing Officer of the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army
Atlae Isles, General of the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army
Sad-States, Officer of the Eastern Pacific Sovereign Army
Bachtendekuppen, Minister of Education
Furnifold, Ambassador of The East Pacific
Greyghost, Vizier
Packilvania
Pakitsk, Secretary of Homeland Security, Citizenship Commissioner
Tyrone Freeman, Minister of EBT
Verdrassil, Secretary of the Interior
Rogueparagon, Imperial Map Maker
Hobbesistan, Secretary of Memes and Propaganda





Happy Early April Fools!

You say that like you rolled something big back, but this looks like only a minor course correction.

The only thing I fell for was hoping I’d see Tim either drop a few other regions or drop TEP, but I figured I’d be disappointed there one way or another :P

Edit: ah fuck.

You got me there.

Sneaky spoiler. 5/7. I was very confused about your post until it was pointed out to me. I did indeed fall for this post. I’d still bet money on there being more at play here than *just* a joke, becuase it’s never just a joke on NS, but I’ll definitely eat my own words up above in regards to that update.

This joke far outplayed anything the admins of the game have come up with in terms of zombies and nuclear attacks. Well played TEP, well played. Though I don't know if anyone 100% bought it once Yuno of all people started preaching against cosmopolitanism. :P

Reflections from someone who was initially confused but then let in on the jape:

1. The initial "coup" was a good ploy because it confused the fuck outta people. Good job with that.

2. I will say that the subsequent posts pushing it further and the burgeoning factionalism/resistance tipped the scales towards it being a joke. The more radical the Eastern Loligarch Order became, the more obvious the joke became as well. The German WFE was what initially tipped me off. :p

3. That being said, I'm sure y'all were just having fun with it and didn't care too much by that point so that's easily forgivable. :)

4. The illusion was broken through a cursory look at the forums and the unchanged/unmoved Concordat, but alas this would've been tough to alter unless the commitment to the joke was that extreme.

5. Hope y'all aren't implying that the Liberate resolution passing was due to the faux coup, because it was set to pass before this happened. :p

6. All in all, solid April Fool's joke. Thanks for the few days of respite from the drudgery of Lazarus coups and R/D bickering.

Let's be honest, NS's April Fools jokes got so many people and so much salt that they promised to only make events from then on...

Had I made a decision on the matter I might have had a good laugh on the joke. Sadly I spent the entire time in confusion. Very convincing though. Everybody played their part quite well.
