NK:
Blue Wolf II is granted immunity from charges in exchange for his testimony.
Thanks Kerv, I
really need that. Ok let me start of by saying this, I was planning on saving this for a retirement statement (one day, way off in the distance) but since the subject came up and I've been granted immunity I thought it would be amusing to just come out with it now.
First off, for the record, the Limitless-Lexicon plot is really a misnomer; a more correct term would be the LWU-Lexicon plot. You see, although never officially acknowledged until now, this operation was fully sanctioned by all members of the Lone Wolves United High Command. We knew
just about every operational detail and were involved every step of the way. LWU even went so far as to send its own undercover agents into TNP to influence the up-coming elections by voting for Limi, none of which are involved in the forums at this date, by-the-by.
To be honest, I'm surprised that our intelligence didn't pick up on this one from the start, after all Limitless Events was and still is a General in LWU and a member of its High Command, you would have thought the link was obvious. Perhaps this is a testament to the ingenuity of the Wolves as a whole, in fact I feel confident in saying that the entire plot would have gone off seamlessly if we hadn't gotten The Lexicon involved.
In any case, I'm getting off topic; let's get right into the meat of the issue, shall we? Around, oh, September-ish, Limitless came to us with a great idea. We would take over The North Pacific by using his position in the cabinet to sneak LWUers into the RA. In the next elections he would run for delegate, all the Wolves would vote for him and *boom* instant feeder control for us. Sadly, our plan had a slight flaw; although we had the members needed to rig the elections we didn't have the numbers needed to hold the region. Thus we went looking for someone to help us accomplish this task.
Enter The Lexicon. Lone Wolves United Founder Scardino had been a founding member of it, and, oh, just to let you know, the whole reason why The Lexicon was founded was to take over TNP, I believe that was Scar's idea. Sadly the little punks had screwed the pouch. Instead of coming up with
good ideas to take over the region they "declared war" on TNP. Scar, then realizing that Cathyy and IP were idiots, and I, who never really trusted the two, came out publicly and opposed the "war" knowing Lex would accomplish nothing. The reaction of Lex was predictable, they banned us for their forum, removed Scardino for the list of original founders, and deleted the Lone Wolves United Embassy, just for starters. Insane Power and I exchanged some nasty words later on where he said something to the effect of "LWU will amount to nothing" and I said something to the effect of "You're a fucking asshat."
Now, this all happened before Limi's idea. Weeks later when Limi came forward with it we were like "DAMN! Those idiots have screwed both us and them! Now not only can't we work with them but we don't even have the resources to pull the entire operation!
Plus TNP is on high alert! Shat! Arse!" Limitless, however, was ever imaginative. He worked The Lexicon through other channels, the Lexicon High Council. Through people like TGR and Elu we were able to convince The Lexicon into backing our plan even though the majority of the High Commands on both sides hated each others guts.
And so the plan was going smoothly. The Lexicon would get to see TNP taken over, and I'm sure they planned to double cross us, and LWU would get control of a feeder and then crush The Lexicon in a monumental betrayal for all the grief they caused us, it was a friggin work of art. And then the shit hit the fan.
This infamous "IP list" showed itself on The Lexicon forums. Now, I don't know where the list came from, I stated to Flem before that LWU does not have such a list and I stand by that statement. I will say that if LWU did have such a list we didn't not and would not authorize its release. Personally, I think Limi got the list through defender channels. Limitless, being a former defender himself, still had access to a lot of defender sources and since defenders are the ones who typically compile huge friggin' lists and then give them to all their allies (which is why half of the internet knows my IP address) all roads to them.
In any case, I never saw this IP list, even though I had access to the forum it was posted on. The Lexicons told me they deleted it soon after it was posted, so I can not confirm nor deny it's actual presence. I will say, however, that Limitless' intent was not malicious. I'm sure he was only following well set defender protocols on IP information sharing and, might I add, that list was posted in a mask and password secure forum with very few people being able to see it. May I also add that
any ToS violations that occurred did not actually happen on this forum, unless, of course, you can prove that Limi used his Mod powers here to obtain that whole list of IP addresses.
Anyway, back to the story. When this IP list was posted I guess someone grew a heart. At the time we didn’t know it but former Lexicon co-founder and traitor to The North Pacific Shoeless Joe wasn’t so keen on the plan to start with. When he saw the list I guess he pounced on the opportunity to clear his conscience. He ran to TNP with it in hand and gave it to them; Flem freaked out, somewhat rightfully so, and banned Limi.
Needless to say the whole of the Lex was completely confused. However, using my masking as a Duty Minister I had access to all the screen shots Flem posted regarding the source. On that information we were able to figure out Shoeless was the one who ratted. He could have gotten me caught in the deal too but he had neglected to take screen shots of any of my posts and, luckily, I forced either TGR or Elu to delete all traces of my presence and LWU’s involvement, thus avoiding a potentially disastrous situation.
After that The Lexicon fell apart and may they rot in hell. All the good members who actively worked with LWU moved to Taiji, thank god for that. I still despise Insane Power and will never work with him again now that he’s proved himself to be a complete retard.
Speaking of IP, I think that the real issue here is not LE release of the list but who he released it to. IP and Cathyy are well hated here, and there is no love between them and Flem (understandably, all you need to do is look around NS for a while to find some rather not so nice things they’ve posted about him, in fact, just search his name on the internet in general to find that). Still, I can’t help but feel that if they [IP and Cathyy] were not involved this issue would not be
as big of a deal as it is, but still a rather large deal just the same.
On a different note, LWU’s TNP takeover plots ended with The Lex. LWU will continue to pledge its support for the native government the next time it's taken over sometime within the next 10 months (yes, I'm taking bets). We have not made another attempt since and I have this semky "The North Pacific Champion” badge, created by Thel, ladies and gentlemen, to prove it.
Thank you.
Edit: The more I type, the worse the spelling gets. Also, Khark, why did you blend togeather your TNP Champion badge with the rest of your sig? Now you've forced me to host my own via image shack. >_>
