I think that some calming down needs to be done. Let's approach this sensibly.

2. I don't recognize the names or profile pics of the other individuals pictured, and as a longtime officer and admin of our Discord I would.
3. We have a veritable rainbow of colored roles on our server and have always had them -- none of the usernames show that, so any of these conversations were absolutely not on an FCN server.
4. How the imposter refers to his IRL setting in no way reflects how Gagium has portrayed it since early 2017, so for them to both be the same individual would require the depicted account being one
heck of a professionally committed and consistent actor, realistically depicting the life, mannerisms, and time constraints of a pre-senior high teenage boy, only to flub it up with how he refers to himself in these screenshots? Flatly absurd.
You've had a scam run by you.
Perhaps. I'm happy to state that I had no way of fully verifying that these were real upon first viewing them. However, given the severity of the content, I couldn't just pretend that I hadn't seen them. Therefore, the most sensible option, in my view, was to pass them along to someone that fit the following criteria:
a) Would take them seriously, ideally having previously stated that they would if this sort of thing came up.
b) Has better insight into FCN than I do, and therefore has a better chance of figuring out whether or not the screenshots were legitimate.
UM fit both of these criteria. Thus, he received the information, I was open about the source, all with the intent of making sure that these screenshots were real before they became publicly available. I had no intention of releasing them gameside without being 100% certain as to their accuracy. The telegram was worded in such a way as to make sure UM took them seriously, though one could argue that this was a mistake, and I'd accept that criticism.
However, let's think rationally: If my intent were simply to humiliate Gagium or FCN as a whole, I could've simply stuck them in a mass TG to FCN's population and the leadership of their allies on an account that nobody knows is mine, without any care as to the truth of the matter. I have more than enough telegram stamps to do such a thing.
If the person that put these on the NSGP discord did fake them, and was attempting to make these public to humiliate Gagium, the fact is that they were on a road to failure right up until Gagium lost his head and started putting the links everywhere and attacking me for trying to find the facts of the matter. Neither myself nor UM wanted this to be public unless they were proven to be real. If UM had found conclusive proof that they're false, and Gagium hadn't flipped his lid, these screenshots would never have ended up on the forums.
Instead, they've ended up in multiple GP threads and on FCN's RMB. I can't reasonably be expected take responsibility for that.
It's certainly not the responsibility of TLA. None of this is relevant to the region that I reside in. So, to avoid threadjacking further, let's end this disruption to our embassy thread. My TGs are open if anyone wishes to discuss this further.
