Bella was Unistrut and Pope Hope working in conjunction and logging in via proxies. Both had UN nations elsewhere at the same time and were thus cheaters. Oh well.
The NPD claimed this from the beginning and The Minister got verified proof much later on when it didn't matter whatsoever.
The posting styles swung heavily between the two which is why most people thought her to be either a collection of players cheating (the truth) or a psychopath (questionable).
Yeah, I had found that out only a few months ago. It was pretty common knowledge amongst the lower-to-mid-level ADN people that SoS was controlled by multiple people, but we never got any specifics.
I've argued that puppetmaster, update-surfing, etc was not cheating, but there's really no way to defend multies. I can think of a few other instances of multies as well.
Gov, I was hardly active (at times totally gone) from late 2006 through pretty much all of 2007. I had held a few token positions here but did little with them; essentially I was brought back into NS by the Crimson Order stuff in early 2008.
Now as far the rest of Chapter 2 is concerned...
In March of 2005 I was appointed High Judge after winning a
Pacific Idol competition. Not sure what the rationale was behind Pacific Idol, but whatever.
In April, we entered Palestine supporting the Great Britain and Ireland lead against the Mighty Pump, the RLA/Ireland lead. We were short about 20 endorsements but it wasn't a bad showing considering who we were up against. ADN, RLA, etc fielded approx. 120 UN's while the Union of Sovereigns and friends fielded 100 or so. But it was the events that followed Palestine that were most fun!
Several ADN folks had found their way to the PRP forum the day after, and some were banned. One of them registered several new accounts and spammed the forums. Talks of the cold war (between ADN and PRP) turning hot were abound; within the Assembly of Governors, which I and various spies had access to, Daedalus (who seemed to be under the delusion that the AoG actually mattered) led a discussion over whether or not to go to war. Those who were perhaps considered war-mongers by the outside, including Musso, Mammo, etc., were actually against a hot war. It boiled down to: where do we attack? Take the Nasicournia or Equilism delegacy, sure, but lose it hours later. Token win. The West Pacific was mentioned briefly as a possibility but they were "friends" or something, or so the AoG was told. There were no good immediate targets, so that discussion went nowhere. Still, I was able to issue a decree from the PRP High Court banning all ADN dual citizens (except for SWATH and TAO, because I liked them) from the region. Nasicournian loggers such as Auk the Great were forced to move out.
In June I, as High Judge, had targeted the disruptive and obnoxious nation of Zelera, who turned out to be an RLA puppet, for trial. Between various events it became clear that I was obviously biased. I was actually never asked to step down; I did that voluntarily without prompting (unless you count being embarassed in front of the entire region as "prompting"
).
It was then that Unistrut invited me to Nasicournia. I suppose he wanted to see what, if any, intel I could provide on the PRP.
