NationStates Jolt Archive

Can someone tell me what happened to Mike Hope? I don't want to guess, and I am highly curious.

I thought that the nation of his region would post this question here, but obviously they didn't.

He was deleted for continually harrassing another user.

He was deleted for continually harrassing another user.

That is sad. He was the one that made the region NationStates big, while it didn't even had a founder. He had always my respects, because I know how hard it is :(

Sad day indeed.

I wonder if he return to ns....he was always a nice guy to me.

I wonder if he return to ns....he was always a nice guy to me.

I wonder what will come of the region now. He has always been the delegate.

not always, i remember when winky and mikey (as in mikoasia, not mikes hope) were working on that region...

40 days ago I hate this stupidgame This game sucks why can't we have war, why can't we harass our neighbors, why can't we say bad words, why can't we send nasty telegrams? Why, Why Why!!!!!!!!! I want to know! The Administrators are like Thought Police Nazis - trying to run every aspect of our Nation States Lives. Are we not sovereign nations? Do we need moderators to tell us what to do? No I say, No a thousands time. Join the revolution and flood the admin@nationstates.net email box with your displeasure in the way they try to act like game gods - dictating their opinions and beliefs on all of us that play the game. Be free brothers. Demand that you have the control of your nations not some God-Mod Moderator. Down with the moderators, down with the admin, death to the machines!
35 days ago Colonel hannibal smith In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...the A-Team.
9 days ago The People's Republic of Park Ridge Illinois We think that it is amazing that the region of NationStates wasn't already taken.

We also think it interesting that there are 3 UN nations here all inactive for 23 days.

6 days ago The Disputed Territories of Yerwhat Hello all. This state is an ally of Fred Radical, who had to go elsewhere on diplomatic business. We plan to stay here if we are welcome, and maybe help with recruiting.
5 days ago The Protectorate of Winkie Woo ok u are most certainly welcome :D
yes recruiting..i was sposed to do some of that wasnt i... :P

winky
3 days ago The Disputed Territories of Yerwhat Hey Winkie - what's going on with the EoP these days? Looks like a big mess...
2 days ago The Protectorate of Winkie Woo hmm ok what happened...
a fair while ago mattaton ejected everyone...cos EoP was dieing slowly and he wanted to make it a quick death but heaps of nations returned so it began growing again...
for a time all was going reasonably well...but then...fildo was our delegate at the time and he was getting sh*tted off that ppl didnt seem to care...and im not sure if thats the reason but either way fildo killed EoP...changed the password and ejected everyone just b4 the reset time thingy (i dunno what its called)
i tried to save it cos im normally online round about that time but i couldnt :( cos i didnt know the password
so EoP is gone and i figure we should leave it dead and buried...
but nationstatestoilet i think it was went and made empire of power (vs Empire of Power...ns is case sensitive)
and yes the new eop seems to be one hell of a mess...it doesnt appear to be very organised and im not sure there are many experienced nations in it but then i know about as much as u cos i personally have nothing to do with it any more... i am/was a supporter of EoP not eop :P

hope my ramble cleared things up :P

winky
2 days ago The Protectorate of Winkie Woo wow that was possibly the longest msg ive written...
23 hours ago The Disputed Territories of Yerwhat Congratulations on a most informative post! Looks like eop are mounting a pretty feeble invasion of Oxford at the moment. But the class acts - Matt, Mikey, Frenchie - they all seem to be in the wilderness. Weird how Fildo freaked out...
11 hours ago The Protectorate of Winkie Woo why thankyou :P
yeah those 3 (matt mike and frenchie) are in the region the UN winky is delegate of at the moment :P teehee (but... thats only cos matt made me delegate lol)
yeah im not sure what the story is with fildo :S i tgrammed him after to ask why he did it but he didnt reply...
any idea if eop have a reason to invade oxford?

winky
10 hours ago The Protectorate of Winkie Woo haha gee theyre invasions goin great :P crazy girl and some of her friends are there lol nutters has no chance atm
5 hours ago The Disputed Territories of Yerwhat Actually CG has her UN state somewhere else. But Bunny, Mu-Mu and some of those new-style defenders (i.e. recently ex-invaders) like Aylandlandfive are there, and CG has a puppet. The lower case eop bit off quite a lot more than they can chew, it seems :)
5 hours ago The Disputed Territories of Yerwhat Oh - and does your other post mean Matt, Frenchie and Mikey are all buddies again now? That would be good.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


this region has quite a bit of history and memories

I wonder if he return to ns....he was always a nice guy to me.

He was extremely polite to me as well, and I've often sent other UN proposal authors his way to seek an endorsement and support.

For the record, I am one of the two Moderators who handled this case. The other Moderator and I happened to stumble upon the matter at the same time.

Mikes Hope was using puppets "Bugs Bunny I" and "Masked Zorro" to harass another player. As Mikes Hope had a previous standing warning for spamming, he was deleted for being a repeat offender.

As a tangent, I've not made a puppet for fear of somebody accidently assuming my puppet was being used to as a strawman or something like this ... though I'd love to have a second nation to pick some of those crazy daily issues ... just to see what really happens. :)

Just out of curiousity, how frequently does this type of thing happen? Basically somebody ganging up on another player?

I'm *not* against the use of puppets. I used to be, but the more I've played the more I've come to appreciate that there are useful roleplay and just general experimentation reasons to use them (and I've come to accept that maybe there are as many good ways to play this game as there are players). :)

I'm just hoping that this type of thing is rare, because I'd honestly like people to still feel free to use puppets ... when they aren't using them to in ways against the game rules.

I'd say it's reasonably rare. The biggest problem I've seen with puppets is upkeep, really. Most people don't abuse the system.

yeah yeah, just go rub it in will ya.. :p
