No idea who you are, never heard of "Napoleon's Son", all I know is that you broke some rule in the past, seem to think you're popular, and for some reason you seem to want to be a moderator.

I don't believe s/he is talking about a story as in a story s/he wrote, I believe Honesty is referring to the story of the exploits of a past nation of his/hers named "Napoleons Son", and the story may involve the breaking of a rule that resulted in something like a UN ejection or a DEAT.

I don't know, that's what I've pieced together from what I've seen so far.

What was it?

It was a bitter tale of intrigue and daring. One man, alone against many, fighting for freedom in an internet forum. It was a fable of lost love and regret, but ultimately hope.

I laughed. I cried. It became a part of me.

well, as i understand it, napolean, or his nationstates embodiment, was not a flawless man. he drank, and when he drank, he gambled. and when he gambled he lost. when he lost, he drank more.
his saturday had been proceeding like, well, all of his saturdays until, finally, he stumbled, broken and broke, out of the watering hole. he made his way home, the sounds of merriment fading in the mists behind him. which is when he came upon the barn. a sickly thought made it's way across his mind, and a smile crossed chapped lips shortly thereafter.
he made his way into the barn, and promptly had his way with a sheep.
the owner of the rather taken aback ovine, awakened by her startled cries, burst into the barn with a shotgun. he took aim, and fired. but it was too late to prevent conception.
several months later, the sheeps gestation period drew to a close. she birthed napoleon's son into a pile of hay. she died in the process. the farmer, awakened once more, investigated his barn. he found his favorite sheep dead, and sitting in the hay next to her was a hairy, hooved child, making gurgling noises, as he lacked the physical capacity to cry, or bleet.
the farmer beat the abomination's head in with a rock.

that is the twisted tale of napoleon's son.

Well, there doesn't seem to be an existing nation called "Napoleons Son", and the name is reserved by an ex-nation, so something happened to Napoleons Son.

Well...I guess I will tell it cause th person who tried to explain it before was completely wrong. Just a warning, it's just about how I avoided the mods for about 4 months or so. I got a little bored one day and decided that I would break a rule. I made about 5 or so nations and jioned them with the UN. I made a bunch of e-mail addresses, hoping that they wouldn't catch me. Each nation was named after or relating to a dictator from the past. They included dictators like Robespierre, Napoleon, Hitler (no I'm not nazi), Louis, and a few others :mp5: . I thouth that that would have been a good way to evade the mods. I then came to power by endorsing myself in Dictatorship. All the nations there thought I was a great leader (and still do, cause I am still Delegate). I don't exactly remember how I divided my time for logging on. The e-mail addresses all had something in common also. They all ended or started with my last name, first name, or included my initials :headbang: . I'm really surprised that they didn't catch me for a while. This all lasted probably about 4-5 months. All this time, I logged on with the same IP address, using similar e-mail addresses, and all my nation's names were related (all relating to dictators). They finally found out and deleted all of them. I came back under a new name and the people of Dictatorship forgave me. Now I am still happily living in Dictatorship as the UN Delegate ;) .

I didn't really know that this would bring any attention. I just wondered if I became known at all. All the anticipation for this. LOL :D .

Anyway, the fiction contest I seemed to remember must have been on another forum, since a search didn't turn anything up.

Actually, I'm not old enough. The night I joined there was a mass invasion of his region in an attempt to overthrow him by taking advantage of a glitch in the old game, and he beat it back. After that there was, every once in a while, another attempt to overthrow him, but it never amounted to anything.

You have to get someone who was more active in something other than General to tell ya.
