i dare say, that "crazy girl" and her minion of puppets are guilty of behavior in the pacific that is utterly scandelous. And she is quite incorrigible. I would like, at my own bequest, inquire as to whether "crazy girl" will receive any sort of censure, chastisement, or perhaps she may be proscribed from this region at a certain length of time. I do sincerely believe that she deserves admonishment and a reprisal ought to be in order. That is all.

It just looks like conversation. If Poskrebyshev considers it spam, then he has the power to eject.

that's but a tail end of the conversation

they repeatedly return to the pacific to talk smack about Francos and then scurry again before they can be ejected.

4 hours ago The Oppressed Peoples of Mr Monkey Eyebrow Please discontinue posting on this board, Crazygirl. The reason your puppets are repeatedly ejected is that your presence is not desired in the region. Your goal of annoying everyone in the region is being accomplished, true, and you somehow manage to stay just beneath mod radar, but you give your allies a bad name by spamming, which you do, despite your claims to the contrary. Spamming by any other name is still spamming, and you'll find more people classifying what you do as such than otherwise.

This has been a polite request from the NPO.

While I don't condone Mr Monkey Eyebrow's retalatory spam, he again brings up this point of Crazy girl, spam, and the Pacific. Ironically, one of the messages the creator of this thread included in his spam in her region was a typical request of mine to Crazy girl.

Please discontinue posting on this board, Crazygirl. The reason your puppets are repeatedly ejected is that your presence is not desired in the region. Your goal of annoying everyone in the region is being accomplished, true, and you somehow manage to stay just beneath mod radar, but you give your allies a bad name by spamming, which you do, despite your claims to the contrary. Spamming by any other name is still spamming, and you'll find more people classifying what you do as such than otherwise.

This has been a polite request from the NPO.

I posted that earlier today after Poskrebyshev was forced to boot another series of her puppets. Within ten minutes of my writing that, she reposted and mocked it point by point. The only purpose she has in the Pacific is to annoy us (i.e. "grief") and clog the ban list (which seems to be a rules gray-area). I have asked her to carry conversations with any friends she may have in the region via telegram and made it clear to her that I find her referring to me as "Franky" disparaging. Also, that she claims to forcibly remain in the Pacific so she can help new nations is baloney, because there are four other Pacific regions where she could do that quite without controversy.

My worst fear realized: the copycats. The player formerly knowns as Bleasdale (a.k.a. Dog Lake, etc.) has adopted this mass-puppet strategy (I again point out that this player was IP banned (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=78942) in October and, to the best of my knowledge, is accessing this site illegally.

The following is a recent excerpt of our Civil HQ. Bold typed nation names are the player Bleasdale. Note that despite containing the word "Crazy" in the name, this nation is not controlled by Crazygirl. Also note that Bleasdale Revived appears to be different player:

I also had a nice batch of quotes from about six different Crazygirl puppets on our messageboard about a week ago where she bragged that "When Franco boots this puppet, it gets another puppet of mine off the ban list" which I wanted to post in my other thread (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=100927) on this subject, but a moderator had quite appropriately already locked it after Crazygirl and a few of her friends (ironically) hijacked it into a spamthread.

well, that's one spammer less, thanks guys ;)

yay, now the banlist of CGs Place is once again, empty! :D

Poor Franky. You spend an awful lot of time complaining about the state of the civil hq in the pacific, when everyone knows that all of the real governing action of the pacific goes on over on your NPO boards. Thus, your concern seems somewhat disingenuous.

As noted by a mod, all of the puppeteering in the Pacific is part of the political machination left to those who are trying to end your rule in the Pacific. As noted by many others, the easiest may to rectify the situation would be to place a password on the region, but . . . its a feeder region. Sorry.

You have no-one to blame but yourself for the current situation in the Pacific. You voluntarily usurped control of the region and have voluntarily maintained control in the region. Nobody has forced you to stay there. It has been your choice to eject anyone who threatens your delegacy, or for that matter anyone you just feel like ejecting. No other delegate in the feeder regions engages in such practices, and concomitantly no other feeder region has an active resistance movement trying to unseat the delegate.

Other nationstates players are engaged in what they think are tactics that may dislodge you from power (and by "you" I lump in Posky). Of course rather than respond to actual criticisms of your delegacy, you cast aspersions far and wide.

I feel sorry for Franco he got to the top and i don't care how he did it what he has done is legal and fair. He only boots to try and stop this influx of puppets which must drive him insane and he is not "Franky" this i think is what he finds most annoying. Let him be delegate or Posky delegate in peace. :D :twisted:

Emperor Matthuis

Hey, Franky. Relax. You could even try being nice once in a while :D

no this is why he bans.

here are the laws of the pacific:
Civil Code for Uniform Justice and Order in the Pacific:

The offenses listed below are punishable by banishment to the realms outlying the vast region of the Pacific:

--Civil Disobediance
1001: A declaration of dislike for the Delegate of the Pacific or his policies with intent to subvert the Government.

1002: Insulting or spreading calumny about a member of the Government in public or in telegram.

1003: Frequent posts of an inappropriate subject.

1004: Excessively poor grammar.

1005: Harassment of a fellow Pacifican either in public or by telegram.

1006: Giving your endorsement to a nation with whom you are not familiar personally. (Obviously, all Pacific nations are familiar with the nations that govern them)

1007: Unauthorized use of another nation's flag or other details as your own.

1008: Objectionable nation name, flag, or motto.

--Political Accountability
2001: Expression of dislike for the policies of the Pacific Government or those Governments allied with or declared friendly by the Pacific Government.

2002: Expression of views considered counter to those of the Pacific Government.

2003: I told you before, I don't like Spam!

2004: Resigning from the UN without obtaining authorization from the proper Government ministry.

2005: Failure to become aligned with the Delegate.

--Treason
0001: Seeking more than 15 endorsements.

0002: Being a puppet of a banned nation.

0003: Assisting those seeking more than 15 endorsements.

0004: Belonging to a subversive organization.

these laws can be found on the offsite forum, in the high court section in the thread called rulings and appeals of the high court.

this is the address:
http://newpacificorder.proboards19.com/index.cgi?board=court&action=display&num=1068773185

Some of you need to keep up with the game more. Francos isn't even the delegate anymore.

Some of you need to keep up with the game more. Francos isn't even the delegate anymore.

A subordinate of his is, so there's no real difference.

same offal different leader.

there are three of them at least working in concert: francos spain, poskrebyshev and infernoice


so it really doesn't matter who has the most endorsements it's all the same.

you really should check thier site out, all kinds of offensive material.

i don't know bisty..
this one (http://newpacificorder.proboards19.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&num=1071236442) actually made me laugh, it really shows how loved i am over there :D

Figured I'd just drop this here rather than create an entirely new thread for it. Please split this before locking it, should it be deemed "gravedigging."

Two players repeatedly move puppets into the region in order to ridicule the region, its inhabitants, and its leaders on the message board while disrupting the legitimate conversation. They have no reason for insisting on carrying their conversation on our regional message board other than to upset and annoy. I cannot see this being classified as anything other than griefing.

Poor Franky. You spend an awful lot of time complaining about the state of the civil hq in the pacific, when everyone knows that all of the real governing action of the pacific goes on over on your NPO boards. Thus, your concern seems somewhat disingenuous.

Other nationstates players are engaged in what they think are tactics that may dislodge you from power (and by "you" I lump in Posky). Of course rather than respond to actual criticisms of your delegacy, you cast aspersions far and wide.

You seem to suggest that if Francos was not in power, the spamming would decrease. Accordingly, you suggest that if Francos is not happy with the aberrant behavior, he ought to leave and develop his own region. I find this rather disingenious on your part as we know that if some semblance of order is not maintained in any region the deviant behavior is going to increase. To have freedom, it requires some form of social control that is accepted by society. There aren't too many disgruntled residents in the Pacific, except for all of these puppets. And, if CrazyGirl is serious as to helping newer nations, does it require 100 puppets in the Pacific?

Here's something to ponder. How would you feel if several people came into your home and began having conversations that were disparaging about you and your family? You see, that's how many of the residents feel in the Pacific about all of these puppets.

i don't have 100 puppets in the pacific, and what franky posted today, that wasn't me ;)

but if franky would be a little nicer, people would be nicer to him too, don't you think so?
