What just happened?

[Urban Ranger]

Cloudy,

Read the whole thread. The region was killed by ceroomaster or somebody using his account by booting everybody out.

Stoned Smurfs didn't have the power to do this.

[DarkCloud]

I did read the thread.

[Dale]

Excuse me while I interject. I think I might be able to shed some light. (I hope)

My main NS nation is The Autocratic Power of Thesh, currently residing in Nasicournia. I'm a high-ranking government advisor in Nasicournia, and an official of the ADN Intelligence Corp.

The ADN (Alliance Defense Network) is an allied group of regions acting for the protection and defense of each other. You may have heard of the group during the Francos Spain/New Pacific Order --> the Pacific, fight late last year. Recently we have been working with the North Pacific in the defense of their region from NPO sanctioned delegates UPS Rail and Great Blight to keep it in the hands of natives.

I have made a demand to the ADN Senate for an explanation of what happened to the region. However I am certain that the answer will be that it was NOT an ADN sanctioned action, but from the hands of the NPO, Ireland or USSR groups. They have been trying to discredit the ADN for a long time now.

Thanks
Dale

Moving nations into a region in order to take over the UN delegate position and gain control is one thing. Hacking the UN delegate's nation is quite another.

ceroomaster has been a member here at apolyton.net since August 2002, has posted in many on-topic forums, and has been posting in the NationStates forum for well over a year. While it is not impossible, that seems an unlikely period of time for a spy to lurk around.

Both Ceroo and San Antonio Bay have ceased to exist.

[Flinx]

With only 6 votes, Centralis (GeneralTacticus) could be deposed by 8 invaders. We should look at increasing the number of delegate endorsements as a way of further protecting out region.

[joncha]

Ceroo was deleted, presumably because of what happened. San Antonio Bay was deleted because it was inactive for 30 days.

[Verto]

I have given my endorsement to Centralis. Everyone else must as well, or find another person to unite behind.

As posted on the Apolyton NS board:

Okay, I've got a reply from the ADN.

This was not a sanctioned action by the ADN, nor was it done by any ADN member regions.

CrazyGirl of the Rejected Realms Army (was in the Pacific till Francos Spain banned her) reported it to the mods as the griefing was occuring. Together with your reports to the mods they acted, thus the region was reinstated to it's pre-griefing state.

The ADN has no idea who did this, and couldn't act because the hacking was directly through the UN Delegate. In ordinary invasions, the ADN moves UN-nations in to endorse a native of the region and leave when the threat is over. That's the purpose of the ADN.

That's all I can find out at this point, but one definite thing is, it wasn't the ADN that did this.

Thanks

PROPAGANDIST W4NK!

[GeneralTacticus]

I just posted this on the Regional Board:

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

New-Norway and his endorsers has been booted owing to indications that he was carrying out an invasion of the region, and a password has been added as temporary measure to prevent further invasions. Nations that want to move in should telegram me to request the password.

If any uninvolved nations have been caught up in the banning, my apologies; given what happened recently, I have no desire to see everyone get booted from the region again. If any of you believe I've expelled anyone wrongly, please say so.

[Squeblish Nef?]

You tell 'em, Mr A!

[Rasputin]

well done...


password protection whilst not perfect is the way to go ...

all the people joining apolyton region who are not in poly are more than likely suspect and should be treated accordingly . if they are trustworthy they should come hre first..

[Squeblish Nef?]

Yes, and I think you should change the Factbook to reflect this.

[GeneralTacticus]

Ok, I finally managed to fit it into the Factbook entry without it becoming too long... it seems that the old one was only just under the limit. Quite annoying, but there you are.
