Chaos in Balder

[Tim-Opolis]

Would you like them to put on a little parade, so you could work out who they all are?
WL has posted, I have posted, Green Echo has posted. Others are...making their moves. One of us is otherwise engaged.

They didn't need to threaten to coup him, they could have asked him to stand down. You cannot predict what would have happened, unless you have access to magical powers that the rest of us sadly lack. If so, could you sort out world hunger, rather than predict which way a regional delegate will jump?

White Lance seems to be you and I will blatantly accuse you of being controlled by the same person.

Also- You didn't even mention my main point.

[Black Pineapple]

I thought I did...what was it?

Take your blatant accusations elsewhere,sir!

[Kshrlmnt]

Precisement.

But couldn't this have been done with the teensiest colouring of legality by doing it in a public manner, is the point I'm trying to raise? Fotar already suggested such an approach might have been better in response to WL originally.

Anyway, we've expressed our views, and at least now democratic rule in Balder is restored. Good luck, Fotar, in your coming term. We won't be trying to facilitate revolution in Balder. Provided you don't get tyrannical. Who knows - then it might be US working with the UDL and staging a coup. XD

...so when someone's being mean dictator, the answer is asking them to step down and creating your own elections, and when somebody's being a decent dictator, the answer is a mysterious coup (also well-announced)?

Why of cource. Because that is the democratic and fair way to do it

OOC: Elindra. Why do we bother with this guy so.

[New Rogernomics]

As hard as I try I can't help thinking of this book, every time I hear the name Balder.

He hacked an e-mail account. Fotar could've gone to the police about that.

More likely his e-mail provider, and then either his ISP or the ISP of the hacker. I doubt the police would deem it serious enough to warrent investigation, especially since he has since recovered his account. This is way beyond the scope of NationStates, though.

What I meant was, Lux was not just abusing powes ingame or whatever, or planning on hacking accounts. He had ALREADY actively hacked an email account, and had his attention not been diverted by the coup, who knows what else he would have done? Democratic actions would've just been too slow.

I would suggest, then, that you guys practice safe password security from now on -- NO birthdates, NO pets names, NO hobbies, NOTHING that refers to you or your interests whatsoever -- and use passwords that are longer than six characters, upper and lowercase, using numbers and special characters.

[Sheepatropolis]

@Famicom; I agree that in severe cases such as hacking that extends beyond the realms of gameplay, swift action is required, and regional government must be prepared to act quickly when such evidence is found. When it comes to security, sometimes you need the power to act with discretionary power.

@Kat; I agree entirely. Also be aware of Social Engineering; be wary when someone appears to be fishing for that information that is commonly used in passwords.

I would like to add to be careful with your security questions as well. That is how my email was hacked, not from a simple password (my passwords are nearly impossible to crack). I had made my security question a long time ago...then chance had it that months later I practically gave away the answer in my motto without even realizing it. So check your questions every once in a while and make sure you don't suffer an overlap like I did.

[Zaolat]

It's a conspiracy!

It's probably a law somewhere. Krull has bunnies, Gross has schnauzers, I got foxes, and now I share them with Fotar, but given enough time, all feeder and sinker delegates will have some animal affiliation.

Given enough time, all feeders will have some kind of fox affiliation!

heh I have foxes too

*points to Via Vulpes*

[Todd McCloud]

People should fear now

[Mayor Balder]

*awakens from stupor of a 12-0 LSU season to realizing Balder had a coup*

Cheers to the new delegate. As for animals taking over the NS planet, as long as bald eagles are in control in Balder I have no issue.

The ponies have already made their way to the Intergalactic Dominion, now they just need to spread to New Britannia and my ebil plan begins!
Edit: That hug is platonic.

[Tim-Opolis]

Hmm... Do phoenixes count? In which case Grand Central has been taken

[Darkesia]

There's a horse in charge of TWP right now.

[New Rogernomics]

A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse...sorry got carried away by Shakespeare.

Cromarty watches as a dishevelled looking Will Shakespeare comes out of nowhere, picks up NR and runs off into the distance.

Aglrinia even faked handing over the nation a month or so ago in a puppet give-away in Gameplay. Aglrinia coincidentally made a short stay in The South a few weeks ago despite claiming the nation was being controlled by a new player, the evidence of which never surfaced in the puppet give-away thread.

False Aglrinia was given to Johz, however in my attempts to persuade Johz to give it back apparently he handed it off. Johz has either forgotten or doesn't want to disclose the new owner of the account.

Johz got back to me and confirmed this series of events, however who now owns this nation and why it returned to The South briefly, remain unanswered.

I've no intention of creating chaos in The South, Mahaj is too nice and you're too smart. I was merely using it as a puppet bay but wasn't open about said matter. Simply due to the fact that I don't like to reveal my puppets identities by doin so it makes it so I can play out a completely different persona through that nation, thus making it easier to get into that nation's significant RP style. Or should the time ever come for an election they're so spread out through NS and some are decently known so their stories can be backed by others.
