Confederation of Corrupt Dictators: Ultimate Gameplay Thread

[Syberis]

While Chuck's repeated, unfounded attacks on the Confederation mean he does not deserve a personal response, I will issue an official response for the sake of clarity for both Confederation nations and those outside our region.


The "doxxing" evidence Chuck has posted is quite frankly absurd. While I, personally, was not present when this discussion occurred, Jocospor was clearly against any such action as shown in Chuck's screenshots. To my knowledge, this was never discussed again, and no such doxxing attempt was made - we would have stopped it. With regards to these "meetings" in general, note the date; this discussion took place almost one year ago and no further discussion has taken place since. The Confederation's embassies with the mentioned regions have also since been closed.


With regards to the events involving Scherzinger and The Barefoot Anime Girls, I wish to make it clear that I was very strongly against Chuck's actions. After some internal drama, during which both nations decided to leave the Confederation, I contacted Scherzinger to ensure everything was alright personally with both involved, and we parted on good terms. I won't post our conversation here out of respect for their privacy (and personally I'm appalled Chuck decided to drag them into his mess by mentioning them here), but I'd be happy to post this evidence here if Scherzinger and/or The Barefoot Anime Girls so requests.


Frankly, I'm very much over Chuck's attempts to bring himself ten more minutes in the limelight by airing the Confederation's so-called "dirty laundry" - something he has repeatedly tried to blackmail us over - and hope this is the last I have to deal with this garbage.

OOC: This response is very much echoed by myself.

Go away, Chuck. I've asked you before, and I'm asking you again. You are the sole perpetuator of this drama.

In all CCD's history, in all its telegrams, in all its self-commends, in all its controversial totalitarianism, NEVER has it gone to the extent of behaving so poorly as to personally attack players to the extent displayed by Chuck. I hope the NationStates community can objectively appreciate that.

You think that, but honestly the way even the threat of doxxing is rightfully treated by this community, I'd be shocked if this is anything less than the final nail in the coffin for greater NSGP from an optics standpoint.

One way or another, this is the way CCD will be remembered. Two years down the line it's all anyone will think about when they think of CCD, Shrew, and Jocospor.

OOC: The CCD is falling apart now, isn't it? I'm loving every damn second of this.

You finally jumped ship. Finally.

Dice are rolling, the knives are out...

The vanguard is turning on itself, a sign of a dying empire. The façade has been chipped away, exposing the rot underneath. Keep the pressure on and the wall will come down sooner or later. To anyone still in the CCD, high or low: Leave. Now.

This is how it ends. Not with a bang but with a whimper.

On another note, I wonder when this whole OOC: tagging of gameplay posts is going to stop.... just strikes me as odd.

Eh, probably never. I don't know.

I guess this is how the cookie crumbles, after falling into too much milk and attempting to put it together

About time, I'd say. For the record: I'd never have joined this place if I knew how deep the rot ran. I believe that goes for many CCD members.

Many notable figures in the CCD have jumped ship. We haven’t exactly jumped as we have boarded a new one. There are many aspects which considered my departure form the region, and as much as some members are notably corrupt and ignorant of the true nature of things. I myself being one of those on a new smooth sailing ship. Let’s up the future looks bright.

[British Niatirb]

Now that CCD is on the run, I expect three things: (1) some 100 dollar telegrams to poach other players, (2) some messages like 'I am once again asking for your financial support', and (3) mass puppetry to keep up the population figures.

Why not all three? I've seen all of them happen at varying points of time. Never all at once though, so maybe this time...?

[Francois Isidore]

You people disappoint me, but you don’t surprise me.

Never before have I seen this level of blatant incompetency from people who are supposedly so good at manipulating others to get their way. Here’s the real kicker: The first spy that the Confederation sent to watch over the North Pacific (Artemizistan/Castelia) is also the same individual who’s been feeding us information about Jocospor’s shady dealings and provided us with insight as to the internal state of the region. Suffice to say, it’s not looking so good internally for Shrew and company now is it?

I mean, how bad does your region have to be to have your own spy be a labeled a “traitor” and quietly counteract your institutions own efforts? When it comes to the Confederation, you are a traitor if you (A) Have any decency or moral conscience whatsoever, (B) Have any concept of there being a divide between in-character action and out-of-character action, or (C) Stand up for your fellow countrymen, who are legitimately nice players, and are being made to look extremely poor by the nonsensical and misguided leadership of the Supreme Council.

Where is that prideful spirit for regional identity now, eh? Where is this region’s unity? Where is their strong Confederation of Corrupt Dictators at now? If we’re being honest with ourselves and with every one else, then we’d know that Jocospor and his yes men have no idea what it means to be strong, much less are they capable of remaining some degree fortitude.

Your members are dropping like flies, and leaders are all but defeated. To Jocospor I say this: You have become what you detest: Your region is a legacy of failure, and it will be remembered as such in the minds of gameplayers everywhere. You have betrayed your people, undercut the trust they had in you, and at worst, violated their privacy without their knowledge. Speaking of knowledge, you were none the wiser and you still think that you can finesse everyone into buying into your lies. Wrong game, wrong community. Loyalty blinding all never works out well.

[Waterfall State]

I personally am glad that this failure of a coup is what may finally lead to the end of the Confederation.

[Darcania]

Jocospor still can't tell the difference between IC and OOC, real-life fascists. Either that or he's being wilfully ignorant.

Mixing up IC and OOC is how his government survived until now. Doubtless that this doxxing incident can also be justified in his eyes, and in the eyes of his sycophants, with IC terms.

[Transnista]

I wouldn't put words in our mouths. Jocospor has admitted his mistakes(from a long time ago I might add), and we justify it with him not supporting the doxxing. Yes, failure to report is a thing, and we apologized. Note that same failure to report existing regarding The Chuck.

We aren't, as the cartload of shit speaks for itself.

That is a Damn good point Transnista. I didn't report it at the time and yeah, I'm as guilty as Jocospor. Hell when I filed my GHR, I outright said that if Jocospor was mod smacked that so should I for not reporting it sooner. This is just one of the many fuck ups I'm making up for but the CCD has to make up for their own fuck ups too.

I agree. We have much to make up for, much to apologize for. I, for one, can apologize for any harm or misconduct I have been party to or witnessed without reporting.

[Dreadton]

Saying "Sorry Bro." After the fact, doesn't excuse the actions nor is it grounds for NS to forgive and forget. Like an addict, acceptance is the first step to recovery. The next step is to make amends.

[Lyrical International Brigade]

Well, that was easy!

You might ring truer with some detail and a demonstration that you understand specifically what you did wrong and how to avoid those pitfalls in the future. Otherwise this is not qualitatively different than "I'm sorry if you were offended." These blanket, one-line, omnibus apologies are worth as much effort as you actually put into them - in this case very little.

I actually agree, but I don't actually know what I should be apologizing for personally.

As a response to being called out in relation to a doxxing incident?

I would have brought my slacks if I knew you were providing free irony.

God, I miss the ROFL emoji sometimes...

It's still there, thus:

[Aenglaland]

All these half-baked apologies from CCD are pointless, and the fact they don't seem to realise (or don't want to realise) this simple point is a bit disturbing.

It doesn't surprise me, though.

Who would have thought they would do such a thing...oh wait...

[The Gilded Star]

Even if CCD didn't commit to the doxxing, it doesn't change the fact that it still played host to far right regions that floated the idea (despite multiple previous claims that CCD barely knew these people) and then continued relations with them for approximately 7 months- and while those embassies are closed now, they were only recently closed during a blanket shutdown of all embassies.

[Darcania]

Who would have thought they would do such a thing...oh wait...

Aye, it's completely unsurprising. One would think their many offenses boiling over (offenses which include harboring fascists, attempted coups, and being entirely dismissive of threats to doxx a game mod) would at least open the eyes of someone high up, but with Jocospor continuing to hide behind a piteous cry of "leave me alone" and "we're sorry", the whole leadership is rotten from the top down, and his allies refuse to abandon his side even as their own reputations rot.
