The Economist ~ The Great Org Heist [Updates]

Day 1,603, 07:21 Published in Indonesia United Kingdom by Spite313


Dear friends,

I come to you today with frankly disgusting news. Remember months ago when the Canadians and Smee Again hacked the ONE org and published an article? At the time the admins refused to take the article down or give us the org back. Today it comes to light why this happened.

Months ago when the various countries of the world were submitting a list of national orgs, the Canadians did something disgusting. They submitted a list of many of the UK’s national orgs alongside their own. Someone in the admin team then added these orgs to the Canadian lists.

They then (now) claim them and take our property. We have done nothing wrong in this, but in the eyes of the admins those orgs now belong to the Canadians along with all their property. If the Canadian CP and people had ANY decency in them they’d ticket the admins and return our property to us.


I’m not going to add anything to this, but I urge all members of Terra and EDEN with some honesty and integrity to petition for this.

Here is the list of Canada's national orgs, leaked by the Canuck CP. Apparently the admins didn't wonder if "UK State Companies" and so on might belong to someone else...

List removed upon threat of article deletion


Update: After contacting the guy who was CP when the orgs were made national, all 8 of the orgs supposedly owned by Canada were requested as UK orgs via the official email used at the time. What's more, the admins replied confirming they had been added to our list. How they ended up in Canada's list is a mystery, but we are assured they will be returned to the UK tomorrow.

Update 2: Although the admins responded saying they have our emails (proof included) in the whole 8 hour working day they haven't managed to copy paste from one list to another and reply. I am sure since this deals with an issue the community and countries feel strongly about (hence the 800+ votes) they could spare five minutes to deal with minor customer service problems like this.

Apparently not.
