Many may know me as Conquerus or Tyrantium, but those who do know me likely have a memory of me consisting of terrible messages and bullying. For the past 1 and a half years I've played this game, I've belittled and bullied my way through the wider NS community.
Several months ago, I was banned from the region of Hartfelden after I was uncovered creating fake discord accounts and spreading virulent trans phobic comments. My comments were a detriment to the well-being of this community, not to mention that Hartfelden is home to members of the LGBT community. I was short-sighted and angry, something that I now regret. I've caused great offence and have ruined many people's days. I come here to say sorry for everything I've done. I was confused about my own identity, causing me to take it out on the wider LGBT community. That was uncalled for and unforgivable and I have now come to terms with my own identity, embracing myself as part of the LGBT community instead of shunning it like a disease. I am sorry to Kendra for bullying her in Hartfelden. I am sorry to Scott for breaking his trust in me. I am sorry to everybody I have hurt and offended, and I have come to the decision that this game is better off without my interference. I am sorry everybody, I will never do what I did again.
Sincerely, Tyrantium

Speaking as someone who's accepted myself after a similar period, I encourage you to forgive yourself. You can't change the past, and the people you've hurt don't have to forgive you, but you have the right to be yourself, and for who you are to be a better person.
You are as much a part of the LGBT community as anyone else, and you are not alone, no matter how scary things get. I'm proud of you, and I hope you'll remember that you are loved.
-E.D.

Well hey, you're the one who commented.
You are a new country so you probably don't know what it's about. I said some questionable stuff and did some questionable stuff too, so I came to apologise.

I'm gay, was abandoned by my parents as soon as I turned 18 (seriously called this a "Young kid", I'm getting old) and the legal duty was no longer required of them. Best friend is trans, I linked this and they say they forgive you completely. I forgive you completely. Never decide something is "Unforgivable", do not let others define you that way friend. What really matters is what's inside your heart and mind, not what others say or feel about you.
Let this be the biggest lesson you learn from this whole affair: Do not hate yourself. Hatred for yourself only causes you to harm others, no matter who you are. It happened to me too. Most importantly ... When you see this happening to someone else and they apologize genuinely? ACCEPT THEM TOO and defend them from malicious people who can't accept it.
Please do me a favor and don't hate yourself for this, and don't give up on NS.

To those saying to take it to Hartf, well ... I care and I'm glad I saw it and had a chance to say something. It kinda helped me get some closure on my own issues.

Treating your apology post as your coming out post always feels sketchy.
now everyone focuses on "oh it's so sad you hated yourself, congrats on being queer", and not your bad behavior
its textbook redirection

I'm not Conquerus. I'm a certain friend of his. Shortly after he wrote his apology, he gave me his nation. He hasn't been on NS in ages. I know this all sounds bloody ridiculous and that I've just tarnished Commandant's name even further after this whole charade but that's the truth.
Conq did some horrible things to the people to the community currently in Galactic Wars so I'm here trying to undo those wrongs and be the leader they always wanted. I also gave myself the personal challenge of trying to fix his name, which I accept was a shit thing to do since he doesn't deserve it. This all sounds ridiculous and unbelievable but it's what happened. I'm a dipshit and Conq is a jerk.
Sorry if I gave you a headache.
And sorry if this is not formal enough or anything, I wrote it on the bus.
