News Special: The Bargained Death of Apiya

Post by Artz » Tue Jun 16, 2009 7:10 pm

The loss of Apiya was whispered in the winds this last week, as its whole existence was put on the poker table. Citizens of our young country were shocked as they saw their work threatened as weak arguments and a lack of tolerance did their dirty work. Every nation has its ups and downs and this particular down started with a disagreement between two of the citizens, Richard (also known as ‘r’) and Rebecca (also known as ‘Artz’). As life in Apiya ran quietly by, behind the scenes a storm was brewing as more and more comments were made and more and more glances exchanged, the disagreements forcing a wall between them. This happened many a time until Richard decided to leave Apiya.

“It just isn’t fun anymore”, Richard exclaimed, when questioned about why he was leaving. The elder Micronationalist felt that he couldn’t cope with someone who was as ‘explosive’ whilst in his presence. In reply to this, Rebecca stated, “At no point was I unwelcoming towards him and I would have loved him to stay as a citizen…As he said, some people just don’t get on. It’s a shame he left, but it’s his decision at the end of the day”.

The situation took a turn for the worst, as the small disagreements still continued in the IRC channel #apiya. Rebecca felt that Richard said things in a sly way (having double meanings) and Richard said Rebecca took things to heart too easily. Things went on until it got too much and Rebecca kicked Richard from the channel. The act of a kick is regularly done in IRC, but there were technical complications and Richard believed he had been banned. In his misunderstood rage, he decided enough was enough and he took the Apiyan website and forums offline. Turning then to Prince Predrag and fellow citizen, governor and ASS Cadan Ap Tomos, to make them chose between himself and Rebecca. “It’s a simple choice, her or me” He said.

This act did nothing to settle matters between the two citizens and Rebecca was enraged that Richard would not listen to her. “I did not block him from #apiya. I didn’t even know how to block, at the time, and I only wanted to talk to him and explain what had happened, but he wouldn’t listen. Yes, I was angry… but only because he was willing to ruin, everything that Predrag and Cadan had worked on, just because of a dislike and misunderstanding! His decision to leave was a sensible one, and I respect him, even now, for trying to do things the fair way before doing anything drastic… but there’s still some things you just don’t do”.

The situation was settled, as Prince Predrag spoke with Richard, who agreed to give them the data for the website and forums. However, Richard kept the domain name and hosting for his own use on hearing that Rebecca was staying in Apiya, and Prince Predrag and Cadan refused to kick her out. This forced Predrag too look for other options. Luckily there was an oppertunity to accept the very kind offer of Ari Rahikkala, who gave Apiya hosting. Predrag said “At the end, Richard was the one who kicked himself out by doing what he did, after all, justice wasn’t on his side”.

So that's what had you so frustrated earlier. Well, I'm glad it got resolved in a way that wasn't the destruction of Apiya. I had to deal with someone re-writing Licentia over night and that was just no fun.

King Colum and Queen Deanna. Colum is a very close friend of my wife and so when he was having trouble we used the Uantir forums to back up a lot of his stuff. Whoo chaos.

He better, you're meeting right down the street from him. I'd have to smack him if he didn't.

By the way, did I say I found an air filter mask thing*, so I can come in an air filter mask, labcoat and sombrero :D

I wonder if it might cause running and screaming, maybe swine flu will have killed more people by then :P


*just a mechanical filter respirator, for painting, but still fine :D

Haha, yeah.. you did say about it before.. but still, I thought you'd forgotten xD, will be hilarious..I wonder how many odd looks you'll get. Hmm, if we can't find our way, we'll just look for the running, screaming people, eh spangle ;)

You got your transport sorted? Oh.. and am I still allowed to try on a sombrero? :o

(hell.. might as well let my posts go into non-relevent posts, this is interesting xD)

I'm not certain it would be easy to bring all my hats, but with my sombrero on my head it should make transportation of other hats rather easy, in theory.


You can try on my sombrero if you like and I think transport is sorted...
