No. Everyone knows Feux pulls the strings of the NPO, always has, always will. Ivan is just the face of the organization, much like Krull was.

Oh yes, Feux is such a good puppetmaster that the NLO was a resounding success. And nobody saw it coming at all. ;)

I'm pretty sure that contradicts years of TWP preaching about the fake nature of forum governments and the absolute rights of Delegates and in game "election".

Can't you change the title? Japan is under native control IIRC, and controlling TWP is more impressive than controlling Japan.

RussoAsia going invader surprises me, what really shocks me is a DEN flag that looks like a neon banana.
One thing about the NLO is that it meant an end to the PRL, which got to be a boring theme with all that 'anti-'imperalist' talk, and the communism thing after a while.

Nothing surprises me. When I first saw what happened in TWP, I was like 'meh'. Was kinda waiting for someone to make a move on somewhere, and it seems that TWP is it this time around.

As for the DEN flag, there are worse looking flags on Nationstates. Though it does kind of remind me of chocolate and licorice for some reason, so it makes me hungry. :unsure:

Not at all.

A forum government has no right to dictate to the in game delegate.

But nations in the region always have a right to rebellion. That's what we're doing right now.

Nobody has said Russo is illegitimate or anything. Just a coward.

You clearly still don't understand us at all.

So what exactly happened in TWP?

Postby Knot II » Tue Sep 22, 2015 4:11 pm

The actions of the former delegate of The West Pacific were neither scripted nor endorsed by the DEN High Command. It is indeed true that the leadership of both The Black Hawks and DEN have been in contact with United RussoAsia as the situation continued to deteriorate in TWP; however, no formal plans, whatever they were meant to be, were made.

Flash forward to the minor update yesterday when United RussoAsia switched up the WFE and two raiders from DEN, unbeknownst to the leadership, prevented the delegacy switch from occurring. As RussoAsia was about to give in, he agreed to lend me control of his delegate nation in preparation for a proper "invasion". Unprepared and caught completely caught off-guard, DEN took over The West Pacific with a single goal in mind: to wreck as much havoc as possible in the name of the most infamous raiding organization on NationStates.

Some of you may be already smirking about DEN posting for damage control purposes. That is not the case.

Whether the invader lead was going to be unseated at major update, the next day, or even next week, the job was finished. Both the name of DEN and what it stands for had solidified in almost every relevant player's mind and will not be forgotten anytime soon. Many telegrams have been received, containing similar messages such as "I don't like DEN, but that was seriously impressive." In addition to the increased publicity, DEN was graced with another population boom, with both old and new players enlisting in our ranks. The West Pacific also experienced its highest activity spike in recent years, as well as a coherent coalition of nations uniting behind a common cause.

Will there be an apology? No. Will there be amends to allies aligned with TWP? No.

DEN makes no formal alliances; rather, we extend our friendship to all like-minded regions and organizations.

Let it be known. Let it be heard. Comrades, allow us to continue to fight the good fight.

History will record the DEN as the most notorious, well-organized, and well-disciplined raider army ever to grace the battlefield.
