How is someone an “Europeian Agent” or an “intelligence asset”, if they weren’t set there to do that in the first place? If Europeia doesn’t even know the identity of the “leaker”, which means they have no control over the actions of whoever it was, making it impossible for the “leaker” to have been an “agent” or an “asset”.

Someone is a Europeian intelligence asset when Europeia is using intelligence provided to them by that person in a clandestine or illicit manner, as Europeia did. Europeia claims not to know who that person is. Except earlier in their discussions with TRR they did not say that. They said that they were prevented by treaty from revealing who it is. Then they said that they didn't receive the information from a region but a person, which feels odd in general because last I checked treaties were between regions or organisations, not between a region and a person.

You dismissing what I'm saying as a tantrum kinda shows you could be shown overwhelmingly compelling evidence and you'd spin it away anyway. But like any prolonged interaction with you, this has been unpleasant enough to last for weeks, so I'll stop replying to you here.

...MadJack voicing his own (correct) opinion on Europeia in a private citizens' channel is something that needs a whistleblower? What, did MadJack do anything wrong in saying that?

HumanSanity wrote:Referring to Amerion as a "so-called" third party and implying he took part in some kind of conspiracy alongside Europeia to "bury" an issue is inaccurate and unsubstantiated. Amerion was nominated as Minister of Foreign Affairs shortly after the Admiral General's return to the game after a prolonged absence due to real life obligations (during which he only maintained his nation for internal regional security purposes as he is a key endorsement-holder in TSP). This was deliberate by the PM, largely so that Amerion could act as a respected and uninvolved senior statesman (as a former Delegate and Prime Minister) in handling the lingering fallout of the events with TNP. As the events in Aegis related to Europeia accessing TRR's citizens forum emerged, Amerion's lack of involvement in the previous 1-2 years of defender politicking again became relevant. No member of TSP's government encouraged Amerion to make a specific determination in his findings and the evidence was not shared with any member of TSP's government.

One can object to the resolution reached in Europeia and TRR's joint statement on July 3 without an unsubstantiated claim of misconduct or bias on Amerion's part.


I'm not sure what you want me to think when a TSP government advisor post pretty blantalty against TRR and when a TSP government official is chosen as the "third party" they side fully with Europeia.

...yes it does. This statement is a formality. TL/C were already going to vote against all our WA proposals, interfere with our military operations, threaten to overthrow our government, and indeed have done all these things ever since relations broke down. 'More regions standing up against BoM/TCB' implies they weren't opposed to us previously, which just isn't true. As a side note, 'Raider Unity' is not an *organisation*, and it never has been.

(1) This statement may be a formality, as you say, but words are important and many regions and organizations have been silent, officially, while Raider Unity has committed terrible actions.

(2) I would classify Raider Unity as "an organized body of people with a particular purpose." It may not be as organized as Libcord or Antifa, but there is a shared jump point and a shared purpose.

It all comes back to the deglender hivemind.

Amerion wasn't even suggested by the South's Delegation, rather by TGW's, which you called the "most reasonable ally" in a previous discussion about this.

But then again, in the same linked post, you said you do trust Amerion! Why the shift from trusting him, to baselessly accusing him of "burying" the situation? The situation was closed when you said you trusted him, and it's still closed now (despite the best efforts of some...) so - what changed?

Amerion is an upstanding and competent person and there is no need to attack them or their region over what happened.

LOL. I was thinking in my head “ngl that sounds kinda like something Quebec might post, minus the Catalyse part” while I was writing out my response, and I my fingers put Quebec’s name on the screen. I then proceeded to have a minor heart attack when someone quoted that.

Moral of the story, get more sleep than I do, and read things over before pressing submit.

Operation Red October


IN SOLIDARITY WE STAND with those tormented by raiders and their affiliates, from the smallest roleplay region terorized to the game-created regions antagonized by them.

The League's Defense Forces continues to be one of the most numerous, versatile, and well-trained militaries on NationStates. It is here we declare our intent for today to be the first update in the largest anti-raider offensive in NationStates' history. In the Frontier world, this cause requires innovation and boldness in taking the fight to these opponents. To fight fire with fire, to subject them to thes same fate and dread they have long subjected others to with impunity.

Solidarity has remained a colony of regions including The Communist Bloc, a griefer region which has indeed propped up this Frontier with endorsements militarily, funneled its members into their own community that advances invading, and aggrieved many upon many regions including our's. It is a colony, a possession, of the Bloc. It is now our's.

Thank you to those who particpated in this operation, and those who may join us. The road ahead is not short or easy, but may we approach

Don’t delay, enlist today!

Well done everyone!! Glad to have been a part!

"For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and the darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City" (The Return of the King, J.R.R.
