Summary of Events: On 12/08/2023, the accused engaged publicly in planning an attempted coup of the Rejected Realms due to a change in RMB posting rules. On TNP's regional message board, the accused, who reside in TNP, also detailed what they would were their treason successful and they got control of The Rejected Realms. One of the accused, GrandEngland, also publicly called for members of TNP to support their planned coup, thereby possibly exposing those who did express support to the potential of criminal charges. Upon being informed that they were in fact potentially violating TNP law, both the accused responded with blatant disregard for the rule of law in TNP.
