Live reporting: Carta coups TSP

[Antariel]

9:13 GMT
 
Hello all, welcome to a live feed detailing the shocking event that in the last two hours saw CArta begin to eject TSP members, close down links to the forums, and declared a revolution. I'm Antariel, TSP Minister of Foreign Affairs.  MoRA Topid has been banned from the region, and the remainder of the cabinet are attempting to run an un-endo campaign.

This seems to have been planned well in advance; Solm is credited with involvement, and the timing was picked so that many TSP veterans would be asleep. Luckily, they aren't.

The main account of our Chair of the Assembly, has also been banned from the region.

Milo claims Solm approached him to coup the region in February, but Milo turned him down. He was reminded of the comments yesterday, and decided to launch the coup; he claims this is all the planning he has done.

Long time exile Punk Daddy has asked to participate in Milo's government, having been banned frm the region for seven years and been unable to appeal this.

[Antariel]

Various nations swarm the RMB, some in favour of Milo, some opposing. Many are puppets, their true identities unknown.
 
Meanwhile, Lint Roller gets banned from TSP IRC for being irritating. Antariel cheers.

9.38
 
The call goes out across NS - 'Will you help us in our hour of need?'
 
Time will tell if it is successful.

General reaction thus far, as summed up from various IRC/RMB/TG posts;
 
'WTF?'

Claims on the RMB point to the fact that Kanab is in fact Druk/JAL, the same player that executed purges on TSP during his Delegacy

"<em class='bbc'>Funny that, Kanab, as a brand new player you certainly became a NS commie very quickly, slogans and all? </em>"

Kanab is JAL aka Durk, so you know... Take statements with the appropriate level of seriousness.

The Grim Reaper has came forth to disclose that Solm has more elaborate plans

In Milo's defense, this was only a small part of Solm's chessmasteresque plan, as was detailed in a public NS channel.edit: Sometime in late February.

only elections that matter are those carried out every day on this website in the form of endorsements. That said, Milo won some fake offsite elections in addition to the ones here on the NS site, so we've got every corner case accounted for as we defend ourselves against the external Jihad against our sovereignty.

12.56 - Europeia post in public support of the TSP government.
 

In the early hours of this morning, the newly elected World Assembly Delegate of The South Pacific, Milograd (also known as Carta), began ejecting natives including members of the elected Cabinet.



Upon being alerted of the situation, I set off to discuss the matter with TSP officials including Milograd himself. As a result of those discussions and subsequent research, it is my judgement that he has acted in violation of TSP constitutional and statute law. Therefore Europeia chooses to recognize the wishes of the Cabinet as the legitimate perogative of the TSP government at this time.



We will offer any and all support, diplomatic and militarily, to that body to the resolution of this conflict as is our responsibility as a treatied ally and friend of the people of The South Pacific.



More information will be made available as it becomes prudent to do so. Thank you.

TEP discuss the issue, Delegate Todd offers Milo sanctuary.
 
Mmmwwell



I would imagine TEP would condemn such a thing. I know I'm a loud voice in the region, but I'm not *the* region over there. Still, we're discussing it and will come to some sort of resolution shortly.



As for myself, I will have to see how this progresses before outright condemning it.



As for Milo, I wish to offer him sanctuary in TEP should things turn south in TSP. TEP's been a place of second chances for a lot of people, and a place for them to try out new things. It's a good system we've worked out there. Plus we could use more RPers.

<span><span style="font-weight:bold;">Statement on the Coup of The South Pacific</span></span>



Greetings. The North Pacific has been incredibly troubled by the recent events in The South Pacific, so feels compelled to release this statement.



The North Pacific will always stand by our allies in The South Pacific, and will support the legitimate government. In this case, we regard Milograd, who is hereby declared <span style="font-style:italic;">persona non grata in The North Pacific as the illegitimate and illegal delegate of our ally.



The North Pacific condemns the ejection of natives of The South Pacific, and considers such actions illegal, and we stand by the legitimate representatives of the government of The South Pacific.



An attack on The Coalition of The South Pacific is an attack on The North Pacific, and we will not tolerate such actions.



The North Pacific promises all its available resources, both diplomatically and militarly to helping to restore The South Pacific to the rule of it's legitimate, native government. </span>



Signed,

Jamie Anumia, Delegate of The North Pacific

Chair Bels has by this point arrived IRC. He is not terribly thrilled by the situation;
 
'...a guy who I've been friends with for two years, and have worked with closely for that entire time to protect and serve TSP had just couped the region? A guy who I helped run for Delegate of this region twice?'

Power-broking continues as more and more regions pick a side/get involved/spam up our RMB. As always, there's nothing like a coup to drive activity.
