The player known as people united together is hereby declared Persona Non Grata from the Osiris Fraternal Order
Using a well-known alias of his, Supreme Overlord of Nationstates, he placed the following un-endorsement telegram in Osiris
To boot, he also released this within The East Pacific, one of our close allies.Spoiler
Hear ye, hear ye!
Your region is under attack from the inside!
It is I, your Supreme Evil Overlord, and I send this message to warn two of the regions within my domain of the threat to their democracies.
What is the threat to your region?
The World Assembly Delegates of The East Pacific and Osiris are planning two simultaneous coups d'etat of the democratic governments of their regions. If this happens, the difficulty of defeating them will be multiplied by two because the inter-regional community of defenders and raiders will be forced to fight them one at a time.
What do The East Pacific and Osiris have in common?
Both of their Delegates are members of an aristocratic "family" of players that is focused on one thing: accumulating personal power. The "Montreser" family is no different or worse than any NationStates family, but in this instance, they cannot be trusted simply because the RISK IS TOO GREAT.
Why now?
The term of office for Tim Stark (who is a member of two families, Stark and Montreser, hence the name Stark) is nearly complete, and ends within the next month or so, and made it the first stated goal in his midterm report to increase his endorsement count to 120. Ramaeus was elected just a few days ago, but has made it the number one priority to increase his endorsement count to 277 endorsements (he is using a challenge to break a record of endorsements as a cover story). The time frame for both of these things is within the next few weeks, as they both said. Coincidence? Not likely. (Tim Stark may run for re-election and may be re-elected, but that will only let both Ramaeus and Tim gain more endorsements while they wait.)
What can you do to stop the coups from ever happening?
Join the World Assembly, endorse everyone except your Delegate. Do not let your delegate have 30 endorsements more than the appointed security nations of your region. The security nations of your region are listed on the World Factbook Entry on your region's page. It is the job of the security nations to have a high number of endorsements in order to prevent the Delegate from couping their region. Specifically, endorse Zaolat in Osiris and Todd McCloud in The East Pacific.
Don't believe me?
I wouldn't trust me, either. However, it can't hurt to take precautions. Tim Stark and Ramaeus may not coup their regions, but nevertheless, do not let them have too many more endorsements than the security nations in your regions. Why take the risk? Trust me, I'm evil incarnated, I would simultaneously coup Osiris and The East Pacific if I were in their shoes.

Supreme Evil Overlord of NationStates
(Just Another Player)
P.S. I hope I am wrong and urge Tim Stark and Ramaeus to resist temptation. If they do not coup their regions, then you should admire them for their character.
Therefore, I think this decision is pretty easy to make. I encourage the Deshret to do it as well, to make it more binding.
I feel the case is strong and we should declare this "people united together"
Persona non Grata.
