This thread is really pointless and cannot "happen" as an RP. Futhermore, Kravania, who is the original player behing the "Saharistan" nation and storyline, claims this (New Saharistan) is not him. Could you verify for me if they are the same people (not sure if that's against your policy or not,) and regardless of whether you do that or not, delete the thread?

I'm not a mod, but I don't see how this is breaking any rules or being worthy of deletion. Yes, you shouldn't take another nation and pretend to be either them or a facet of them reincarnated, as New Saharistan is doing, but that is the only reason I can think of that the thread would be worthy of DEATing. He should have at least checked with the person who RPed Saharistan before. On the other hand, it is not unheard of for people to roleplay a terrorist organization or an organization without a homeland. See Terror of the World threads for examples.

New Saharistan's identity is explained in this post, the last in the thread:

No, it is not me, so here, let me explain:

Yes, i need to get somthing done in Saharistan, my last Rp was in the end of November, and i need something to do.

The person RPing as Saharistan/Everything is my 12 year old brother, he wants to try rping, so i set up a plot for him. Hes not online now b/c im on the pc and he is sleeping. By Royal guard he meant the Saharistani Revolutionary Militia(He read the Wiki article and a little bit of the actual thread) I helped him a little bit, with the Plan and stuff, but he will be the Rp'er.

Hope that Cleared things up.

So it is an imposter (Ex-Saharistan's reply in the thread linked to implies he did not have prior knowledge of this) sharing a form of the same name, but not for any malicious intent. I don't think this is worthy of deletion.

Then again, I'm not a mod, so I have no say in it. This is just my two cents.

At the time this thread was made, the identity of the poster was not known and the thread did seem very much like that of a troll; given that i've had issues with a few people in the past few hours. I no longer request for any actions to be taken, only that this thread is no longer needed and can be locked/deleted.

You're not the topic starter, so it's not your call to make. Sorry.
