Delegates of TRR

[thechurchofsatan]

Does mine really come off as propaganda? I stuck to the facts.

[Manson]

The Church of Satan was elected delegate after years of service to The Rejected Realms as an officer. The region had entered a period of low activity by then so it was his responsibility to restore activity during one of the region's slower times. Unfortunately however, it was a regrettable time to be delegate. Lazarus had been couped by Lone Wolves United who would not reveal themselves as the ruling party for over a year. The Church of Satan had the unfortunate responsibility of overseeing the end of The Rejected Realms longest alliance. Supporting our allies to the very end he issued an official statement condemning the actions of Lazarus' traitors and closed embassies with them. It may be a long time before the legitimate government of Lazarus is restored. In the meantime he secured an agreement with the feeder regions to allow The Rejected Realms to recruit from them.

Does mine really come off as propaganda? I stuck to the facts.

It is pretty factual.

Added information to the last non-recognized delegates. Could someone help me to edit the summaries written by the delegates themselves (such as Unibot's, CoS', Sedge's and Wham's).

Hey, could you repost the list? I can't seem to find it.

Native delegates of The Rejected Realms and their terms

1. Gres
   May 28, 2003 - June 9, 2003 (12 days)
   
   Originally a member of the Atlantic Alliance - a renowned imperialist region - sent to capture the RR, he deserted and founded the Rejected Realms Army, hoping to estabilish a powerful invading force which would group all nations that wanted revenge against those delegates who had banned them.
   Very soon he set out to conquer the East Pacific, but he was ejected from the UN for multiing at the end of a large but poorly-executed invasion.
   After these events he was marginalised in favour of his lieutenants, Kandarin and Siggi, and his role in the region declined, even if he continued to be a member of the RR community for several more months.
2. Kandarin
   June 18, 2003 - October 3, 2010 (2665 days)
3. Kandarin (Naivetry)
   October 3, 2010 - August 13, 2011 (314 days)
4. Sedgistan
   August 13, 2011 - November 22, 2011 (101 days)
   
   Despite his contributions and his time spent as a member of TRR's community, he is perhaps better known as a Defender, for his time in the Founderless Regions Alliance, and as a Moderator. Although his time in NationStates was not devoid of controversy, his work as a NationStates player and moderator earned him the respect of much of the community, both in The Rejected Realms and abroad.
   He became a Moderator in 2010 and serving for seven years, until his retirement from NationStates, and becoming one of the better known and most respected Moderators in the gameplay community, having brought better insight and greater attention to many Gameplay-related issues.
   As a member of The Rejected Realms he stood out as an important political figure in the year following Kandarin's resignation, eventually being elected as Delegate. Following his service as Officer and Delegate, he served for several more years as a level-headed forum administrator and advisor. - NEEDS EDITION
5. Guy
   November 22, 2011 - January 25, 2012 (64 days)
6. Collector of Souls (Whamabama)
   January 25, 2012 - April 5, 2013 (434 days)
   
   There was a slowdown in internal activity, especially in comparison to Naivetry and Sedge's terms.
   We re-estabilished relations with TSP (embassies had been closed after Sedge/Devonitians' coup).
   We tried a number of more 'independent' ventures, such as attending an anti-Nazi conference, and discussing membership in the Sovereign Confederation (a short-lived interregional organisation formed by The Pacific, Gatesville and Equilism) - however the former wasn't embraced with the same enthusiasm as the other GCRs did, and the latter was rejected by the Assembly.
   Kogvuron also estabilished The Rejected Times in its current form during Wham's term. Earlier there had been similar publications, but they happened on an irregular basis and the style and format was different. I don't know how much the Delegate is to credit for it, but the timeframe is that. - NEEDS EDITION
7. Frattastan II
   April 5, 2013 - May 9, 2014 (399 days)
8. Unibot III
   May 9, 2014 - June 25, 2015 (411 days)
   
   Prior to becoming delegate, Unibot was a defender and a prolific WA Author - he founded the United Defenders League (UDL), served as Balder's very first delegate, and pioneered the Security Council in its early days (splitting the WA into two was his idea - "the Unibot model" - and the GA/SA flags are his design.) Building on Frattastan's work as delegate, he oversaw a revitalization of the region with a focus on community, culture, and its core identity. "Uni" ran monthly cultural events, edited the Rejected Times, and introduced the region to Rejectmas. He also forged TRR's longstanding alliance with the South Pacific and directed a round of constitutional reform in which he wrote the region's first and only Charter of Rights. Principally responsible for region's use (or overuse) of purple, Unibot also built the region's first in-game guides and updated the forum's skin to establish a brave new "look" for the region. He still sips his morning coffee(s) in his TRR mug and loves y'all. - NEEDS EDITION
9. Guy
   June 25, 2015 - December 24, 2015 (181 days)
10. Libetarian Republics
    December 24, 2015 - March 5, 2017 (436 days)
    
    After a controversial election caused by divergences on how votes should be counted, Libetarian Republics became the tenth native delegate of The Rejected Realms. TRR was ravaged with controversy during the election because LR didn't have a sufficient number of seconds to be placed on the ballot. Besides from that, a lot of things happened in the region's foreign affairs in his term, including, signing a treaty with Spiritus and updating an existing one with Lazarus. However, a negative event that occurred was the abolishment of the Non-Agression Pact between The Rejected Realms and The Pacific. This happened because of LR's decision to vote against on a Security Council proposal to repeal the condemnation of The Pacific. Libetarian Republics also attended a conference led by CAIN, The Coalition Against the Ideology of Nazism, but did not ratify the treaty. LR also beat Unibot's record of the highest number of WA endorsements at the time, becoming the most endorsed delegate in TRR's history until then.
    
    He was also responsible for introducing The Rejected Realms to Discord. However, in LR's WA delegacy, the region saw low activity. Also, the turnover of officers was very high, which harmed their efficiency throughout the year. During his delegacy, DEN, one of the biggest invader regions of NationStates, attempted to invade The Rejected Realms. But, Libetarian Republics successfully defended the region from invasion with more than 200 endorsements. Furthermore, LR's term was not very fruitful,
    and did lack activity.
11. The Church of Satan
    March 5, 2017 - December 19, 2017 (288 days)

Unrecognized delegates of The Rejected Realms and their terms

1. Sagar
   ? - May 4, 2003 (Unknow)
2. Louldamin
   May 4, 2003 (1 day)
3. Dogwhores
   May 5, 2003 (1 day)
4. Louldamin
   May 6, 2003 - May 28, 2003 (23 days)
5. Lovisa
   May 29, 2003 (1 day)
6. The Holy Manatee (Mr Nonchalant)
   June 9, 2003 - June 18, 2003 (10 days)
7. Jennivier
   October 6, 2003 - October 7, 2003 (1 day)
8. Red Kagran
   July 21, 2007 - July 22, 2007 (1 day)
9. Emperor Matthuis
   October 27, 2007 - October 28, 2007 (1 day)
10. Aegara
    April 5, 2010 (12 hours)
    
    Aegara was a Delegate of Grand Central. He went rogue and ejected all the nations that were endorsing him, before moving to TRR himself. Since he had more endorsements than Kandarin, he could replace him as Delegate. With defenders piling in to support Kandarin, and endorsers of Aegara moving back to GC or being recruited to other regions, Kandy regained the seat after a single update.
11. Oud-Heverlee Leuven (Onderkelkia)
    February 2, 2012 (12 hours)
    
    Oud-Heverlee Leuven was a puppet nation of OnderKelkia, at the time Commander of The New Inquisition Armed Forces. TNI, along with other raider militaries was occupying Belgium; since Oud-Heverlee Leuven happened to have more endorsements than Collector of Souls (who had just been elected), they took the chance to invade us.
    
    Work in Progress.

Snip

Kandarin's bio has to mention a ton about his work in TRR, why he is known as the Father of TRR, and what he has done.

[thechurchofsatan]

Yeah all that nothing under Kandarin's name really doesn't do Kandy justice.

[Manson]

Some info I got from old man Kandarin:

I noticed in the unrecognized delegates you've got MrNonchalant and Holy Manatee as the same person.

They were actually different people.

When TRR invaded TEP, a bunch of drama happened and since the reason TEP was up for attack anyway was someone breaking the rules to leave the delegacy empty, the mods did a bunch of rulebreaking checks on a bunch of active players related to the drama.

They found that Gres, the TRR delegate at the time who founded RRA, was not related to the rulebreaking that messed up TEP, but had broken the multi rules somewhere else.

So he was kicked from the WA (UN at the time). TRR's delegacy was left empty.

Anyway, MrNonchalant, who was the leader of the Atlantic Alliance, snuck into the void and started endoswapping hard.

To take over TRR for the AA.

Because it was uncontested and most loyal TRR actives were with me in TEP, he won and took over for a while.

When RRA lost in TEP, they and I got kicked and I was the "obvious" surviving TRR native forces leader and campaigned for the delegacy, learning about endoswapping as I did, which I did not understand before.

However, it was a stalemate, MrNon had other people supporting him from other regions allied to AA.

Holy Manatee was some random player with no connection to anyone who just happened to be swapping at the time and had a head start.

I am not sure exactly why the AA withdrew. Remember that both raider and defender ideology were in their pre infancy at this point; not all of AA's allies were comfortable supporting a takeover. Also, the occupation tied up all of AA's deployable military force which was always smaller than they let on.

Eventually, Mr Nonchalant left.

Holy Manatee had the seat for exactly one update. His sole act was posting something on the WFE that I forget except that it was lewd and obnoxious. He lost the seat to me the next day.

Not to claim or tag the region, just vandalism. Needless to say I pulled a very late night the next update to make sure I could remove it and get a real WFE immediately. Mr Nonchalant was the only thing keeping the AA together.

The thing that put me off about him was when someone from RRA infiltrated the AA and discovered that MrNon was telling new recruits as part of their training to spam WFEs and region history, which was against the rules.

I brought this to the attention of the mods. They ignored it.

From then on MrNon was someone I would not tolerate in any capacity. The AA made an attempt to recruit me once - I told them it was him or me. They chose poorly.

However this did influence the early RRA as I at least felt the AA and RRA were to be rivals, and picked up some things about early NS army organization from watching them.

And subtler things - like, AA troops had flags that varied with and showed their rank, in blue and white.

So the RRA troops had their own rank insignia flags, in black and red.

Later this was changed to black and a variety of colors (red, green or blue) as the RRA organized into platoons, to denote which RRA platoon they were.

A lot of my early diplomatic outreach was with the goal of gauging - and undermining or converting to us - the diplomatic reach of the AA.

And as my essay explained, a lot of their downfall was that they kept up a "RRA are the bad guys" ideology when it gradually became clear to everyone else in early Gameplay that the reverse was true

So, change the timeline and make Mr Nonchalant and The Holy Manatee separate people please.

[Neop]

The fact that a delegate of 12 days has more info under their name than Kandarin is a bit confusing.

Agreed. We're working on Kandarin's summary right now.

[Relfa]

Updated the topic to make The Holy Manatee and Mr Non as two different delegates.

[Manson]

Great, now to draft Kandy's summary!

[Relfa]

If we could outline all his achievements would be very helpful so I can write it.

[Manson]

-Held the Delegate position forever.
-Helped form our current government.

Those are just two out of a million.

[Manson]

I think we should add something about Sedge being an excellent legal Delegate, but couping TSP.

[Catalyse]

He didn't do that while he was the delegate ( obviously ) so it's irrelevant to his term.

[Manson]

Well, I see your point.

[CrazyGirl]

Kandarin didn't create the current government. Stating he held on to his position, aided by the RRA and allies, for a long time is not inaccurate. Not sure he did much more.

[Manson]

I think that we should at the very least mention him as one of the most influential Delegates TRR has ever had.

He was the face of the region for eight years. That deserves more than a simple mention.

Thanks anyway, CG!

I appreciate your help and lot because you were there!

[Relfa]

Cat's term should end in her resignation day, when Wabbit was elected or when Wabbit effectively becomes delegate gameside?

[Catalyse]

I think it should end on Mek being elected, as I was still acting Delegate. Same for every other delegate, really.

[Manson]

I think it should end on Mek being elected, as I was still acting Delegate. Same for every other delegate, really.

I've been recording when they become Delegate gameside.

[Nequedum]

Yeah... Count gameside because it'd be confusing for earlier TRR Delegates otherwise.

[Catalyse]

Yeah... Count gameside because it'd be confusing for earlier TRR Delegates otherwise.

Some delegates were not elected, however, so it's not really confusing.

You could list both dates, but being elected is what determines some assuming the delegacy as a government role. I'm not the delegate anymore in terms of having any effective power in government, and that's what I think should count.

[Relfa]

Makes sense. I will find the details of every candidate's election (except those who weren't elected) and add it to our list. If someone could please edit the summaries in need of edition, please do so. I will try to edit some until Wednesday, since I will get more time until then.
