Previously on 'The Story About Aleks':
- a group of young adventurers plan a trip to Africa
- a joke to make Alex Nigeria's first CP suddenly evolves into an elaborate plan
- everyone but Sam010 gets a denied entry into the new PTO heaven
- desperate to run away from harassment in UK, Alex joins a mafia gang in Nigeria
- dumbfounded members of team Alex4CP remain in UK, thinking what to do next...
In Nigeria,
Aleks and Sam010 were getting acquainted with their new political parties. Sam010 got close with AlexMCS182, the President of Foxland Family Party and current Prime Minister while Aleks joined a Balkan PTO group... without even realizing that.

We decided that the only way forward for us is to stay in UK and try to popularize Aleks before making him CP. The only problem... Neither Sam010 or Aleks wanted to return to UK. Something about UK being a toxic environment (?). Anyway... We couldn't elect Aleks if everyone hated him and even if by some miracle we did elect him, he'd get impeached right away. Another obstacle was the fact that UK was under a serious threat of a long-term foreign takeover. So the first step for us was to subtly take over one of the dead parties outside of Top 5 and build it up before Congress elections. It took some time before we finally made the decision to go into New Era, much to the 'enjoyment' of the ruling ATO council that consisted of General Marley, Michael Ludgate and alan warwickshire. They had no idea that we're together and mainly focused their sights on the Serb... me. This helped us greatly as Angela Williams and I played that we're on the opposite sides and Angela quickly got the support of the few remaining New Era members at the Party President elections.
Turbulent times in UK politics
Our goal while building up the new party was more than just getting Aleks elected. The essence was bringing back the fun into a boring amateurish politics simulator and combat the PTO threat. We wanted to be different, dramatic, goofy, blunt, honest, childish and serious at the same time. Everything that Aleks was and is. It took us good several days to think of a new name, until fm2008 proposed 'Team Rocket'. The party motto perfectly described us as a bunch of people coming from all backgrounds with some noble goals.
Prepare for trouble
and make it a double!
To protect UK from devastation,
and unite all peoples within our nation.
Now we just needed to bring back Aleks and that was not an easy task at all. Each attempt to talk to Aleks was accompanied with the threats from PTOers in Nigeria directed to him. After reassuring Aleks that nothing bad will happen to him and explaining that his real friends are in UK, he decided to apply for UK citizenship. This in turn made the gang furious as they wasted their only citizenship pass on him.
AlexPopovic has joined #eNigeria
AlexPopovic: Hello
AlexPopovic: Sorry for leave you so early and I"ll comeback as soon as I could
AlexPopovic has left #eNigeria
So just two days after joining Nigeria, Aleks came back to UK thanks to Leo Balzac who was the only Congressman to help me out.
Aleks was named the Vice President of Team Rocket and he immediately started searching for new government jobs, applying for a position in Sir Humphrey Appleby's future Cabinet.
Aleksandar.V Popovic: Appleby wold ask you in this article,openly and without hestation,would my applicationin your cabinet will be consider and if you"ll win and "ll hope you"ll win,so that you give me chance to prove myself that I am worth of trust and be on position where are you now.I am wlling to work in your cabinet 24 hours per day?.
Another great addition to the party was the guy who claimed he's the member of Dubai royal family, with a nickname Sir Vladimir Putin (aka Rashid). He was named Secretary General of Team Rocket and quickly became Aleks' best friend. He was responsible for the rules of the party, which are sadly deleted now, but you can read little about it in this complaint by Michael Ludgate.
Sir Vladimir Putin (about Michael Ludgate): He dared to attack the leadership of the party, in the future will attack anyone who stands in the way
An opportunistic git
In just two weeks Team Rocket reached Top 4 (from 8th position) and managed to finish 2nd in the Congress Elections, only 10 votes behind Vendetta. We couldn't make Aleks CP right away. Before anything, we had to make him endearing to the general public and no better way to do that than by giving him some high role in future Cabinets. So I contacted Prof. Moriarty and offered him to be run by Team Rocket for Country President. The only thing he'd need to do if he wins is to make Aleks a Prime Minister. Some of you may be asking why Prof. Moriarty? Firstly, he has great articles and appreciates satire. Secondly, he expressed his desire to run earlier and thirdly, he was the only guy who was in it just for fun. No political bot would ever risk their 'political future' by placing Aleks in his Cabinet.
Prof. J Moriarty - UK's last line of Spamicani defense
Prof. Moriarty came on our channel and everything was agreed between KieranB, Adastros, Angela and myself. Team Rocket runs Prof. Moriarty, he appoints Aleks as his Prime Minister. However... Behind our backs, Angela was busy making deals left and right with almost everyone. After making a secret deal with BigAnt to become his Prime Minister (which BigAnt revealed to me) everything fell apart. Angela was delaying support for Prof. Moriarty claiming a proper party vote needed to be organized first. Days have passed, and party vote was always moved for the next day.
WayneKerr (about Angela Williams): AngelaWilliams is just an opportunistic git, he'd sell his grandmother for a erep title
When I confronted Angela on his deal with BigAnt on the party conference, he said that he will never support Moriarty because it was all my ploy to get BigAnt elected, knowing that Moriarty stands no chance against him. As I was the Serb and Angela was not... Well, most people, except maybe KieranB, believed her at that time. Meanwhile, KieranB had other things on his mind. He was too busy leaking the fun parts to WayneKerr and Co. who then jumped in to have their share of fun, huehue (?).
Team Rocket party conference meeting going as planned
After a heated (understatement) discussion and relentless attacks from me, Angela resigned and gave the Presidency to NWG who was invited there by KieranB to take it over. KieranB and Robin Redcap appointed themselves as the ruling council. Robin's first decision, to take away my channel rights and his second decision, to remove Aleks and appoint himself as the Vice President. Well, you know me... I don't back down. Soon after, Robin had the misfortune to feel my wrath and he quickly resigned from the party and quit the game for some time.
Meanwhile, Alex was completely oblivious on what was going on and trying to start his own business.
Aleksandar.V Popovic: Guys anyone interest to work in my companies,and workers will be only from this unit.Wage is 20gbp !!.Go on job market and there I am.Please comments ?.
And of course continued to be the patriotic beast on the battlefield!
Aleksandar.V Popovic: Finnally we have some fun and really fighting.Commander please change DO RW in Ostlandet !!!.Let"s kick their a*ses !!. Who wants to give me warstah combat pack,cose really need it and I am going for 2 days at RL vacation,so I wont be online whole week,maybe 10 days ?.

In Part 3: Aleks finds a new political home, BigAnt's heist and new secret deals in Alex4CP team
needs more BigAnt 😃
WHY WAS THIS NEVER PUBLISHED!? ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Basically, I PTO'd 4 of the top 5 parties gaining Aleks an 'air of legitmacy' and Aleks finally became CP.
*wipes tear*
Remember that name-choosing meeting? 😃
Yes, another trainwreck meeting. lol
awful experience, enough to make most people take an eVacation
I remember all this because I was in Team Rocket - it certainly explains why Angela Williams suddenly left after getting the PP - As I recall she resigned and apologised for agreeing to team up with BigAnt without the party being consulted, I think she then left and it all fell apart.
It didn't fall apart because of her leaving. Unfortunately, the article was too long so I left that bit for part 3.
gr8 article m8, I r8 8/8
Bi*ch.
Like Kieran could live with himself if he had left me out of it...
This Leaders did glory
for UK
And do not forget You
You helped us a lot
I hope time return
Until they return the glories To UK
Once again
(UK leads the world and not be led from the world)
Sir Vladimir Putin deserves to return to UK!!!!
I will back after
Agreement with Brazil
For the return of the territory of your territory
To Congress returns
1. Kieran and I were asked to take over by Angela as interims
2. I didn't have op on the channel so it couldn't have been me that stripped you of privileges
3. Aleks kept his position as councillor, it was FaP that was replaced as vPP, which I will admit was a mistake
4. I hardly felt your wrath, you kept ranting at me for being inconsistently active when my parents were separating
You guys created separate private channel for the 'leadership' and no one allowed you to remove Aleks from vPP position. You took his place? How low...
We had a separate channel for a single meeting regarding Angela's resignation called #LaunchControl, I fail to see the issue with this.
And as I just pointed out 'it was FaP that was replaced as vPP, which I will admit was a mistake'.
The issue is that I build that party and brought people in, not you and you decided to remove Aleks and appoint yourself. Never even asked me about anything.
We all built that party, don't be so self-centred. Your abundance of money doesn't make you some kind of overlord over the rest of us.
For the third time, Aleks was never removed, he remained as Councillor while I made the mistake of removing FaP as vPP. And by the way, I took on the SG position, not vPP.
Remember when I asked you how many people you recruited and you said zero? And sure it makes me your overlord. The party finished in 2nd place and my 40 workers would disagree with you any part of the day.
You as vPP over Alex? You'll never be better than him. Never.
Aleks was never vPP and neither was I. FaP was vPP originally and then Kieran when the interim council came in.
Your 40 workers for whom you provide their wage? Hardly the most unbiased sample of people...
I was never focused on recruiting as we agreed that the high wages tactic was the most effective, which was where you came in. Hate to break it to you, but recruitment isn't the only thing that needs doing in a party.
Nope... You have no idea. vPP was changed several times and Aleks was the longest.
But he was never vPP when I was involved with the leadership.
I am enjoying learning about the heroic taken by our former glorious leader. I eagerly await part 3 SerF o7
Team Rocket was truly an amazing plane crash. Glad to have been there.
I remember good old Vlad trying to oust the traitors, truly hilarious.
King Alec commands and we obey
Over the hills and far away..
Damn forgot half that stuff bring back the good old days I say we pick a new target and start moving in lol!
Operation Popovic 2 - The Return
The Popovic Strikes Back
Gripping.
I pace the floor awaiting Chapter 3.
lol...

For those fortunate enough to have been in any other party - Team Rocket: Imagine Glastonbury, free Taco Bell, no music, one portable toilet.
For the record, I knew you were scheming far more than was generally appreciated and never trusted AW. Probably the hardest thing to manage is people opportunistically popping up out of nowhere, manoeuvring people into power whilst remaining distant enough to maintain plausible deniability only works if you don't make the first step too easy - you need to wrestle with the minds of competent people instead of easily malleable idiots. Cretins tend to need too much public assistance and translation that inevitably ends up looking like you've been married for years or are the hand in the glove puppet.
Makes no sense have a 2/10 for trying to write an intelligent post though because I'm nice that way.
