Since the rise of Francos Spain in August 2003, the struggle between the New Pacific Order and the government of the North Pacific has been well-documented and, in many cases, hard fought. The North Pacific was a bastion of anti-NPO sentiment under the twoslit experiment, ultimately culminating in the conquest of the North's delegacy by UPS Rail and Great Bight. As put by Prime Minister Upper Kirby, "It was a different time then. A different place, really But it was a grand fight."
One may wonder whether or not that fight truly is over. According to the controversial delegate Dalimbar, the answer may be a resounding No. The background for the following IRC chat log is such: NPO Emperor Moo-Cows as well as Senator Darkesia and Black Cardinal Lord Agamemnon Mustang were embroiled in a controversy about one and a half years ago involving the creation of the "Empire of Seven Hills" - an ill-planned and ill-prepared project with the goal of feeder domination. This reporter himself was (for reasons unknown to him) recruited by Agamemnon Mustang to assist in this endeavour, but - unfortunately for ESH - ended up working as a covert agent for the Nasicournian Intelligence Agency to unveal the identities of all involved and ultimately sink the project. ESH is dead now, but the players live on.
Dalimbar joined the NPO briefly in 2006 to work as the director of Pacific Veritas, the Pacific's reformed news service after the fall of the highly-regarded Pacific News Network as led by Sir Paul. Later, Dalimbar would run for and win the North's delegacy with the nation Chodean Kal - but without allegiance to the NPO. Here is the chat log in question, taken from #the_north_pacific late last night:
<Dalimbar> Well, I suppose you have to hand it to them. ESH is still trying to work on its goal.
<John_Ashcroft_Land> heh true
<John_Ashcroft_Land> they have at least one feeder
<Dalimbar> Eh, it could have been 2.
<John_Ashcroft_Land> what was the other?
<Dalimbar> Well, let me tell you.
<Dalimbar> Moo and I, when I was working for him in NPO, were talking about me attaining the Delegacy and planting the NPO flag on it.
<Dalimbar> I wasn't really serious about it. He was.
<John_Ashcroft_Land> LOL
<John_Ashcroft_Land> thanks for that info
<Dalimbar> He started getting really... weird about it, and in short, I just said "go away"
This occurs on the heels of the Mesian-TNP spy controversy, when the NPO Emperor assured the North that "The Pacific is not in the habit of sending anyone into another region with the purpose of causing trouble just because we don't like what they may be doing." The accuracy of this statement appears to have been legitimately called into question.
Finally, it is the hope of this private citizen-reporter that future delegates remain ever vigilant in the face of totalitarian opportunism. It is also the hope that perhaps this article may allow both sides of the present internal dispute to recognize that the other is well-intentioned and thus come to an agreeable solution. May ADMIN be with us.
