A short piece of investigative journalism

Day 4,563, 10:29 • Published in USA USA • by barbarbar6

So, recently, there has been a large amount of controversy around the WTP party, with the party president Dominar flagrantly violating IES standards without going through any proper channels. It's an awful thing, and all that has needed to be said has been said better than I could in articles by PigInZen and Wilker Nath. The quick rundown, though, is that Dom is clearly unfit to continue to be party president, and if he doesn't step down, any reasonable citizen should back actions of the government to obtain control of the WTP party.

But that isn't what this article is about. This article is about another threat that has again reared its ugly head.

An account by the name of Alien President was created at exactly around the same time as these controversies emerged, and promptly started referencing information that no player that new would ever be able to have digested in such a short amount of time, calling out personal information on a litany of older figures in the eUS. There has been some debate over who this account is a multi of, and that's what this article is meant to clear up, and hopefully shine some light on the motives of this person and what we can do to quell them.

Alien President is without a doubt, 100%, a multi of Ajay Bruno (aka RGR, etc.,etc.,etc.,etc.). Let's look at the normal prose of RGR from some of his articles.

Quote from RGR: "To this day I remain the only "enemy of the state" recognized by the eUS government. I wear it as a badge of honor. I don't ask any pardon for anything I've done. I know we were right then, and even after all this time has transpired we were still right. You can't let people push you around and mistreat you. It's important to take a stand for what you believe in. It's sad to see this "game" lose SO many people from those days though. There are some old friends still around, but so many gone. With how awful the world is these days, it's good to know there are still some willing to be steadfast in their resolve and raise their sword when it's needed. AFA lives on in spirit, and in our hearts. I only wish D & D had written us a better ending, but I for one took it like a Mannis!"

What can we take away as defining features of this? Well, he writes very deliberately, with very few or no typos and accurate punctuation, but that's true for many people on here. What I find interesting is the liberal use of scare quotes and the use of exclamation marks at the end, both of which are common throughout all of his articles. For example, let's look at the comments of Alien President:

"The loudest voices that ask for the destruction of WTP mostly come from one party. I see a pattern!"

"This article is proof beyond doubt what kind of person is owning and running the eUS Forum! There is a line between administering the meta and acting as a "policeman" or private investigator in real life.
I hope this will be the final nail in the coffin of your private forum, that serves only one purpose: to control the game by spying on people, collecting network-data and infringing on their privacy.
After this, anyone with common sense would leave that place.
This is sick!"

Along with this, Ajay hes been a noted conspiracy theorist, having on people who believe Area 51 is a place where aliens are kept onto his show, which explains both the username and the X Files avatar.

So we can put this to bed as almost definitely Ajay, something that Paul Proteus noticed too, in the same comment thread that the latter comment came from.

But what does this mean? Well, Alien President also is running for Congress in WTP this month, and is fervently defending WTP in the comment sections. For people like him, chaos is a ladder, not a pit. He saw the success of the WTP experiment, and is trying to capitalize off of it, and is trying to claim that the people who are wary of multiaccounts are paranoid, and using them to convince real people who are new within the WTP that every other party is out to get them. We must make it clear that Alien President/RGR is an unwelcome bloodsucking delusional opportunist to any new player. But we should also understand that he wants the WTP party to be destroyed as well, and is purposely tarnishing it with his actions. The fact that he has tried to make it clear that he is a multi without trying to make it clear he is Ajay means that one goal with this multi is to make people suspicious of legitimate WTP members, and to inculcate to the general public that WTP is a party of people who make flagrant multis. It's not, and there are many people in WTP that I know that are certainly not multis, not for what is going on with the leader of the party, and those people need to publicly step up against the actions the party leadership is carrying out.

WTP needs to reject people like Ajay, and reject people who use the same stratagems as him, and we need to do as much as possible in order to keep this particular multi away from Congress, lest he uses this power to violate IES and completely revive the possibility for a PTO. This is very likely to be the most chaotic month in a while, but I know we have enough good members both in and out of the party that means that we can withstand this.

Phew. Thanks for reading.
