The AFA: A Spy's Tale
HarleyQuinn
I'm not even sure where to start but this needs to be written, so I guess I will just start at the beginning.
My name is HarleyQuinn. I started playing eRep in October of 2010.
When I first started I joined UIP with my mom and was there for a few months before it collapsed. My mom went back to the Feds and I quit playing right after that because I didn't really want to start over in a new Party, and life suddenly got busy.
My mom was talking to me about eRep and how Ajay had taken over a Party, was now in the Top 5 and had been for months. I remembered Ajay from back when I played before and was surprised he had actually succeeded in getting a top 5 party.
I thought it would be fun to log in and see if I could infiltrate his party. Mom didn't like the idea much because she was worried about Ajay and the possibility of him trying to stalk me like he did Bia.
Being as stubborn as I am I didn't listen and joined the AFA anyway. It was actually very easy to get him to trust me enough to not boot me out of his IRC Channel. I had a very convincing story about how MelissaRose had become PP of UIP (she was actually only VPP), left and went back to the Feds after destroying the UIP.
It was rather funny, he thought he'd found some kindred spirit in his hatred of the Feds.
For the first month he really didn't trust me enough to talk much about his plans. I spent that time watching Game of Thrones and reading up on the history of Ajay to try to see if I could find a way to get him to trust me. I eked information here and there by staying logged in all night and logging the chat. I started sending every piece of information I could glean to Josh Frost, at first it was very little and most likely didn't help much.
So Josh Frost and I staged a verbal battle in the amp channel and I pasted the log of it onto the AFA forums. That worked enough that he started loosening up a bit and talked more openly in the AFA irc chat. He went on rants about the Feds and the other parties, how they were all elitists and would never actually be able to keep him down. His rants jumped topic a lot into RL politics. So I started expressing my political views (to match his of course). The more I showed how close my views were to his the more open he became.
Ajay trusted me by this point but the others didn't, so I decided to write an article about the CP elections. Ajay loved it and that, along with my trolling of anti AFA people, solidified me in that party. I worried about the trolling because I knew that I may never be able to fully get the stink of this party off of me and that I may never be fully trusted again. But it was working, I was getting more and more information (plus it was actually kind of fun playing the idiot child troll).
At this point I started feeding Josh Frost and others more and more information. Everything I could get. I was finally able to help remove the “fog of war”, Sometimes it was only little things other times it was important conversation that helped frost know where to hit and why. I was very happy to be able to give him information that would actually help with the organization of the ATO.
About a month ago a friend of my moms had an idea. I was going to try to be the backup PP for when the country ATO'd the AFA. My thought was that if the AFA got back into the top 5 I could put other people from the top 5 into congress instead of the Serbs, successfully killing the AFA for that month. This would hurt him greatly and with no Serb support possibly kill the Party altogether.
I wanted that epic moment where I could laugh in his face. I thought that might be the only way I would ever get people to trust me again.
This month I actually got Ajay to agree to let me take over a small Party in case they needed backup. Ajay always has more than one so he can pick and choose which Party to swap to. He didn't choose mine, but honestly I don't think that matters because I doubt he has the ability to get back to the top 5 this time. He's lost a lot with each successive ATO.
This month he was especially depressed. He said that you were all too organized to beat anymore. He believes Josh Frost has successfully beaten him, even though he will never admit that publicly and will probably say I am lying. He's also lost the support of the Serbs, and most have actually left the country (from what I was told)
I was ready to continue on with this whole project even though it probably wasn't even necessary anymore, mostly because I was enjoying the verbal sparring with Josh Frost and others in #voting and in articles, but this month something changed. I got to see a side of Ajay that completely startled me and scared me a little. My mom went on eNPR on election night and I watched over her shoulder as Ajay sent some disgustingly horrid messages.
Frankly that freaked me out and I told my mom that I was done. She was relieved.
So now we are here at the end of my spying, with no glorious defining moment to help fix my in game rep. But that really doesn't matter at this point because I am done. After what he said to my mom, and reading the story of Bia, I realized just who I was dealing with. He is insane, I had realized that much being in his chat but I never fully understood just how insane he is. I just can't be in that chat with him anymore.
Hopefully the rest of the eRep community will be gracious.

Good job. Enjoyed the smack talk🙂
Well then. Didn't see that coming lol.
Thanks for your work Harley. You've done a great service to eUSA, even if you had to sacrafice (can't spell in the mornings) a bit of rep for it. Which I genuinely believe won't be a problem 😁

Not to crash your party but what you did was in no way heroic or spy worthy. You simply reported on the facts everyone knew, any real discussion didn't happen in the main chat any ways. I hate having to come to factual rescue time and time again but all you did was burn a bridge. RGR plays the game a certain way but he isn't a bad guy in real life. Overly zealous maybe, but not a bad dude.
And for the record I will just go ahead and apologize for the way rgr spoke to your mother. /me hugs Melissa
I have to ask, how can you apologize for his despicable and socio-pathic treatment of Melissa and then say he isn't a bad dude? I can tell you, that he most likely has Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and will only bring those around him to harm, in RL and everywhere else they may interact with him.
Since I know you do not know him as well as I do, I will just go ahead and call your point illegmate. In terms of societal norms his behavior was poor but understandable when you consider the extent to which he was marginalized. It is easy to make grandiose remarks about condemning questionable behavior, it is another thing entirely to fully understand struggles of the individual.
I do not know RGR/Ajay in person, but then one does not have to be acquainted with someone to judge them by their outward behaviors. Everyday we judge others based on observable behaviors and characteristics. In this case many RGR's exploits are both over the top and numerous. There is never an excuse for the sort of behaviors that he has exhibited over the last three years. When he berates, threatens and uses sexist/racist language he demonstrates his instability. As far as understanding the individual, if one looks in the DSM V under Narcissistic Personality Disorder you will find that RGR/Arjay meets the criteria for the disorder. The only reason a true diagnosis cant be made is that I cant observe how clinically significant his anti-social personality traits are. If you know him so well, try to get him some help. he needs a true friend to get him to make the decision to change..
Tell yourself whatever you want. You are not as douchey as RGR, but you're a douche-enabler. Knowing what party to hit, what party to defend, and when was very helpful. AFA will not get Congress seats this month. PTO is dead whether you RGR fanbois want to admit it or not.
It was not exactly rocket science and if you were unable to check, the federalist should recheck their relationship with you. I am sorry to tell you this, but if anyone is qualified to give insightful commentary it would be me. It is like you people are in a different realm devoid of fact and filled to the rim with conjecture. Just because you keep repeating a narrative does not make it so. The truth lives with those who lived and experienced it, not from the onlookers observing from afar. You can hate everything about the AFA, that is fine but don't try to prop up falsehoods while justifying the steps taken. You are doing it in the poorest taste.
Have a good day gentlemen.
^ We live in a shared universe. Even though what you say is somewhat true, ultimately we are only able to determine whether people are safe to be around based on their actions. Perhaps RGR has a perfectly reasonable reason why he does the things that he does, but to neutral observers, there are actions that he takes that appear to be harmful and alarming. Everyone in this world deserves respect, but everyone deserves to feel safe and be respected as well. It is also concerning when it appears from outside observers that a game has become an obsession to people. You are correct, I cannot live inside RGR's head. That means I only have his actions to base my opinion on. If indeed he is somehow the victim in all of this (which based on the testimonials, there appears to be at least some truth to the claims against him) I have to ask, what kind of person would continue to want to participate in such a toxic game? If there is indeed a legitimate reason he acts the way he does, what good, for him or anyone else, can come from him continuing to participate in this game?
this story is a first-hand account.. yes, much of it we know from observation just a step further away than what HarleyQ did, but that she had the guts to step inside and experience Ajay's insanity from right beside him IS NEWS.
we could have guessed that Ajay was being manipulated by the Serbs-- now we know for sure.
we could have guessed that Ajay became depressed after this third PTO of his Party-- now we know for sure.
we could have guessed at how Ajay behaves in private, now we know for sure.
yes, THIS IS NEWS.
any supporter to RGR or AFA, means exact mentality to what the mentioned represent.
He RL stalks people. How does that make him "not a bad guy in real life"?
Maybe he supports the gold standard?
Great work, HarleyQ... you just gained about a thousand brownie points in my book. 😉
lol,I was always a little suspicious of you, which is why despite you taking over a slightly larger party, I chose to go with Chopp, who I know is not a spy. 🙂
It won't help. Mark my words you won't get congress seats. I can either prop up the Ponies push you out, or I can prop up the Commies to keep you out. Either way you're done.
ya I am scared of threats from a 16 year old
I'm 31 years old you two bit loser.

aw did poor RGR get his feelings hurt? Maybe if you cry uncle we wont completely grind u to dust.
ahahahaha, RGR got pwned by a girl! Go home to your momo RON!
you are so done!
RGR where is your casket?
We should make one of those crappy internet games with RGR's face ready to punch for an anti-stress. xD
Trolololol xD
Brilliant work! 🙂
Good Job!
We got your back.
So uh....the title should be "A Spy's Tale." Just saying. Fun read though.
You missed the subtext. If you read between the lines you can determine that she started her own spy ring within the AFA. Expect more sabotage and chaos to come within the AFA.
