CRISIS (Official Government Response from the acting President)

Day 756, 01:38 • Published in South Africa

• by OKayOK

I ask all eSouth Africans not to visit the national forums as they are effectively closed until further notice.

As of a couple of hours ago Ines had her IP address hacked and has been temp banned by admin pending investigation. A Declaration of War has been proposed against Australia and we have proposed to stop trade with Indonesia. Congress will obviously vote these down not allowing them to pass.

Until this has been resolved I will be taking control. So, we have a new government. Even if not supported by game mechanics, we will be working behind the scenes trying to fix this mess.
Ines will be working closely with me during this time. She in essence is still the president and she is still my boss. We will work hard to make sure that eSA survives.
I ask our allies to see the seriousness of the threats that this country faces.

As of now the new government structure will is as follows:
Mark Morcom (Acting President)
Enoch Root (Vice President)

I’m abolishing the following ministries pending the resolution of the current crises:
Fun
Education

The ministers of the above ministries are to send me a PM indicating which ministry they would like to get involved in. I am taking these measures to shed some dead wood. When times are good these ministries serve an integral part of the countries function but now they become redundant.

I will be establishing a temporary forum for congress. This address will not be made public and congressman should be receiving the link via PM throughout the course of today.
I advise everyone that ever posted anything on the Country Forum to change their passwords immediately.

On a closing note: Exilious has no say in this government. His claim to now be in charge is nothing more than him playing his foolish game.

Be strong eSouth Africa. We will not be held hostage by a bunch of cowards that can do nothing more that lie and cheat. eSouth Africa will prevail through this.

Regards

Mark Morcom (Acting CP)

TO much?

Rheinlander von Phalz Day 756, 01:49

Get Frank Furglar in command (by the game mechanics) ASAP

Brendan E Austerion Day 756, 01:49

To 888chan: Jeebus, it's just a freaking game. A GAME. You do not hack someone's IRC account, forum account, game account AND email account (the last being the worst) over a bloody GAME.

Sheesh.

Luc Praetor Day 756, 01:52

In most countries,[identity theft] is illegal. You script kiddie twits...

MuscleRoller Day 756, 01:54

I haven't done anything. I'm a respectable member of eSouth African community and I was banned from your IRC and forums. Wtf?

Independent Alternative Day 756, 02:00

I AM SO FUCKING PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW. You can't get the country by legal means and now you resort to illegal means?? That is so low. This is a game, leave my personal email out of it at least and give me my password back.

Oh and don't try use my credit card, it's been cancelled.

This is Ines by the way. With an org soon to be hacked maybe. Fuck knows.

I'll calm down eventually. Message to all eSouth Africans: stay calm, admins will sort this out. if you feel the need to impeach me, do so.

MuscleRoller Day 756, 02:02

You can only hope.

I wish the so-called hacker was a rational and moral person and gave your password back.

Apparently he isnt 😢

Luc Praetor Day 756, 02:05

We're all banned from IRC though, MuscleRoller. My comment was aimed in general at the couple of guys that did the deed.

MuscleRoller Day 756, 02:08

Thanks for clearing it up. Atleast you understand that I have nothing to do with this.

These so-called "hackers" really ruin the game. They are basement dwellers who lurk in chans and IRC 24/7.

I hope they are satisfied now.

As far as I can tell, they really are.

Martin Warmonger Day 756, 03:16

Wtf is going on?

MuscleRoller Day 756, 03:22

The president got crazy. It is advised that everyone follows Comrade Exilious to victory.

Crazierinzane Day 756, 03:27

It was fattroller and his lackey exilious.

Now they are just posting pictures of gay men having orgies...

Its advised not to go there.

MuscleRoller Day 756, 03:29

Proof?

Crazierinzane Day 756, 03:34

Theres proof that you hacked Ines account, so obviously you hacked the forums as well.

Don't be silly fattroller, you should know this stuff already. I mean you claim to be 12 right?

MuscleRoller Day 756, 03:36

There is no proof. You cannot prove other than that I visited the forums and came to your IRC as MuscleRoller.

Also, I'm 12 and what is this.

Chris Macabe Day 756, 03:53

lol ..... Mark Morcom is a boob

Tick Tock

Martin Warmonger Day 756, 04:04

Lulz @ (again) Wtf is going on?

Krimpiekat Day 756, 04:51

"There is no proof. You cannot prove other than that I visited the forums and came to your IRC as MuscleRoller."

There's the bit where you came on irc as Schums.
Starting there, going to rizon etc etc. Should be easy for interpol's cybercrime division to track you down

MuscleRoller Day 756, 05:35

Still no proof that it was actually me.

Funny the 888channers would plaster your name all over their image MuscleLiar.

MuscleRoller Day 756, 05:53

I'm famous all over the internet. How cool.

Nosferat0987 Day 756, 06:52

You're going to be famous in jail soon too.

Tell me, FatRoller, where do you live? For your sake, I hope you don't live in China. I heard the penalties are pretty severe.
Then again, not many places in the world where you won't be fucked.

You forgot about IP Addresses. ISP are obligated by International Law to release personal details of their customers when InterPol come knocking 😉

I'd skip town if I were you. In fact, maybe try to book a flight to the Moon. But if you really want to get away from InterPol, you should probably fly into the sun 😉

DentalPlan Day 756, 06:55

You forgot about the fact that nickserv and hostserv requests will not be considered sufficient evidence in an irl court of law.

DentalPlan Day 756, 06:58

Oh wow an anonymous imageboard. Guess that's some cast iron evidence right there, oh wait...

MuscleRoller Day 756, 07:03

Epic proof..

Epic Thoughts Day 756, 07:18

There are some people who think proof is over rated.

Nosferat0987 Day 756, 08:04

Even anonymous message boards are registered with a host.
This means all traffic is logged.
IP Addresses are logged.
Backup servers save all content, even that which was deleted.

MuscleRoller Day 756, 08:16

Get my IP then kbai

DentalPlan Day 756, 08:20

"Even anonymous message boards are registered with a host.

You've entirely missed the point. The very fact it's anonymous means there is absolutely no accountability. Anyone can post under any username. No-one has to login, there is no way anyone can prove any link between posts on here and posts on there/irc.
