Region: Astoria
Nah you f*ckers deleted the discord
wait Astoria isn't actually dead...right? Please tell me this is just a prank.
I don't think it's a prank, Shadow posted this: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=539388&p=41643060#p41643060
well then...I guess this is goodbye. rip Astoria, we will always remember you.
If you need access to the new discord, I can oblige in my telegrams.
Bro, what is happening
Give please
Goodbye, Astoria. The memories, which are for the most part, ruined, were fun while they lasted.
Angeloid Astraea, Shion Sonozaki State, Astorian Djas
Astoria will forever be in our hearts. This place has hosted many memories. Goodbye💜
Toramon
Whats going on?

The region collapsed.
It will not collapse as long as one of us remains.

Guys, look on my main (Woopera) ;)
Holy hell, what is happening?
Poopera
This region is dead.
Also my main is Woopera
I guess I'll also say a few words about this place.
I really, from the bottom of my aching heart, wish that this wasn't real. I want to wake up tomorrow and see that Astoria is fine, like it always has been.
this was the first region I moved to when I first made [nation]Nahuatistan[/nation], I made lots of friends. [nation]cult of da lamb is cool[/nation], [nation][nation]Woopera[/nation], [nation]Nu Elysium[/nation], [nation]Unike[/nation], and many more. this place was fun, it had lots of chaotic good energy sometimes, it was home.
I miss home.
I wish I could spend more time there where I grew up.
but thats not how things work.
to quote something really deep that I made up just now:
"home isn't just a place. its more than just memories and feelings. its a place where you can feel welcome, a place where your best and worst moments are had. its a place you grow up in."

[tr][td]What was your favorite part of Astoria?[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]My answer: Everything[/td][/tr]
[/table]
Koronic, Shion Sonozaki State
The community ofc!
I've said it a few times already, but it'll always be the community, no matter what region we're in :3
Unike, Shion Sonozaki State
A truer statement could not be said, Astoria's resilience through everything never ceased to amaze me. We did accomplish a lot.
Koronic, Shion Sonozaki State
(This post would have been made from Grishahakkaverchynot.)
Yeah, it would have been the community. That's mostly what is good about most of the regions I decided to join.
Unike, Shion Sonozaki State
The treaty with Furry.
Unike, Koronic, Nahua Astorian Puppet
I agree. I consider the nations that are in a community to be the most important part of any region.
Unike, Koronic
And so for one final time on this account, to all those who stuck by me thank you and we truly did build something special <3
Unitium Gloria for one last time,

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Well that was awfully rude for no reason :p
If you think there was no reason to tell Unike to sod off after the last 48 hours, you are wilfully blind.
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
He may have made a mistake but he did for this region more than you ever did. If you think this place would have grown above 100 nations without Unike sending 150k recruitment telegrams and staying up for 16 hours straight to recruit and spending money on stamps you are willfully blind. So how about YOU get the f out of here?
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
Despite what people will say I know all you did and all you sacrificed. Even if you made mistakes you still did what you did in good faith and I know that because I have known you as a great guy and a friend. I'm not letting anyone ruin your memory, especially those people who caused you to burn out. Farewell Unike, you were too good for this cesspool.
Riko Republic
My answer: Nothing, because you have raided regions for fun. What goes around always comes back in a bad way, and you can see that here in Astoria.
Anticommie
Its demise! Its end is the only good thing Astoria has ever done.
HA HA HA! Now you cant torment innocents anymore! Astoria is the worst region in NS and Im very happy to see it be gone.
Yep. The end is a good thing. 🎉

Real. Well, sorry Astoria. Or maybe not. Im done talking in this chat.

That is a Overgeneralization. For example, I never participated on a raid.
Me too. Bye grave of the worst region. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! 😂 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Because youre new to Nationstates. 💀 bye bye
The community.
Goodbye Astoria, you were fun, and very nice, it's a shame that what happened did.
Poopera
Actually, I changed my mind, we're bringing back Astoria out of spite ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ back to our daily scheduled region tormenting, everyone!
Blud this is my alt I am Woopera I have been here almost 100 days or more
Oh yeah, you are welcome to (WOOPERA REGION)
imagine being so obsessed over a community that you grief their equivalent of a forum for a platform they have decided to not use anymore just because they slightly inconvenienced you in your quest to spout alt-right nonsense to manipulable and influentiable young children
Coastal States
See?
These questions.
One that resulted in the server being deleted, the community being splintered, and all of his friends losing faith in his abilities to run a community? We're well aware, Gioni.
Unfortunately for you, and the three other musketeers of Astoria's destruction... I'm not the one who's ostracized here, am I?
Very sad... I'm not going back to my "sad corner of hell," but you sure as hell can join them in theirs.
Blame only yourself.
Poopera
What happened?
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
You are as responsible for Astoria's destruction. You abandoned Astoria and admitted you did all out of narcissism. Don't pretend you care about this community because you don't, you don't even care about your friends or your family, let alone a group of people in an online game. You have no empathy, you just care about yourself as you have proved time and time again. If you cared you would have recruited, you would have built the ARC you would have done more than simple posturing and you wouldn't have abandoned the region midterm as Archkeeper.
Riko Republic
What is happening??
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
Just Rosartemis being an opportunist and using this sad occasion as a way to siphon sympathy to fuel her own ego. Nothing new really.
Riko Republic
Absolutely nothing new lol
Who is rosartemis?
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
Just the fact that she's taking no responsibility for her actions, her negligence. She is responsible for Astoria's destruction too. She's now constructing this narrative where she is blameless while the fault is everybody else's. She's even blaming me now despite the fact I am not even involved, just stating facts: If Unike is unworthy of being a leader of this community so she is.
Wait, so she made Unike sad or smth? What a douche
Evinagioni
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
Rosartemis is Solis Astoria. She was the former Archkeeper (head of government) who almost caused the collapse of Astoria's executive and brought the members of her cabinet to burnout yet she somehow fancies herself a "leader" when she lacks the most basic qualities that a leader requires. I used to respect her, lost all respect after I found out all she cares is her cult of personality.
Riko Republic
Rosa leaving was not what caused the destruction of Astoria. Unike and everyone else running off to Athena, then handing the keys over to Sarah, who deleted the Discord server, is what caused it. Please, Gioni, you and I know you can inform yourself better than this.
Post self-deleted by Noproyvania.
I hope you're not lying
I could say the same to you Omni, you saw the consequences of Rosas actions yourself.
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
Omni she was the factor that started Astoria's destruction. Since she abandoned the region during her term she led Unike and the others to burnout and Sarah to almost take her own life. These are documented facts, too bad the Discord was destroyed, an act that I don't condone but it doesn't change the fact that Rosa hasn't the interest of Astoria to her heart.
Unike
Everything Gioni said here and yet this is supposedly all my fault
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
I am not justifying all of Unike's or Sarah's actions but if they did what they did after working so hard for the region it was because they were mentally brought to their limits, and a huge part of that responsibility is Rosa's.
I also remind everyone that Rosa was the one who always pushed to be recognized beyond her merits and wanted prizes over prizes so the narrative that unike (someone who never asked for recognition and was happy being a random rmber) did what he did for ego or control doesn't hold water
The narrative itself doesnt even make sense if my and Asts goal truly was destroying Astoria why would we not have done it far sooner when Rosa was still new in Astoria, why would I have bothered putting in any of what I did. If I truly didnt care at all and my goal truly was the ultimate destruction of Astoria, I did a terrible job at it and chose the least effective method to do so.
Post by Evinagioni suppressed by Astorian Ambis.
I contest the narrative that yall did what you did out of ego or desire of control. Rosa is the one who historically wanted control and domination and hated democracy while you all pushed for it.
As for you I think you were naive and made a stupid decision but it was done because you truly believed that was the only way to save Astoria's community. As for the destruction of the discord that wasn't your fault at all so I don't get why people blame you for that when nobody could have predicted Sarah would do that.
Unike, Adriatic Democratic Empire
the Rp.
I think that's the part Ill miss the most, the wars, the tomfoolery, the sheer amounts of full on BOOKS that some people were writing, all of it was just so much fun for me, it helped me grow my skills as a writer, it even helped me with my conlanging skills.
Unike, Poopera
Not to worry Nahua, the magic of Astoria will live on even without me, the strength of this region was always its community and I believe yall will build a great region.
Noproyvania
This is sad, I would like to reconnect this region because it was my home.

ill tell you the vigenere key is OMNI to make it easier, you're on you own finding the second layer :3

What the scallop is a vigenere
You have to decipher the Vigenere cypher out of it first, key is OMNI. Then it's just a standard ROT-13/Caesar cipher.

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
it's a shame this died
although all things must come to an end I wasn't expecting this one to come this soon
Poopera
I didn't abandon Astoria, did I? I wasn't the one who handed the community off to someone who hated it enough to delete it. The funny part is I had nothing to do with that, at all! Any rational person would have taken a different step. Anyone who read Shadow's post would know your conviction to be insincere, Gioni. I was practically gone from Astoria by that time, and yet Uni and Sarah were doing exactly what I said they'd be doing, and yet you're accusing me of emotionally manipulating a region I left far before it was erased by the people it was promised to? What a silly idea.
Its existence is too short to tell

Unike, Catgirlboss and Astoreus. They, good intentions or no, caused it.
And they have the audacity to still try and pin the blame on me? Hah.
The downfall of Astoria is undoubtedly largely attributed to you so...
Coastal States
Me? Those decisions were yours to make alone, Uni, not mine, the most you could say is I gave you the choice to abandon Astoria, but you were still the one who made that choice, not me.
I do find it funny that you genuinely believe I wanted this outcome
And you know full well I'm more so referring to your lack of doing much during your third term as Archkeeper
If you didn't want this outcome, you wouldn't have backpedaled several times on your word and ignored the pleads of Sateru and Shadow, I warned them that it was just going to keep happening... I was right, of course.
That's just the thing though Rosa, I agreed to continue Astoria after Shadow said they wanted to. The Sateru thing I admit was a mistake but it's not like I predicted any of what Sarah would end up doing, she was in your cabinet 3 times so don't act like you didn't trust her as well. Additionally, I had apologized for the line of succession change to Sateru himself multiple hours prior to the forum post from Shadow being released. I don't dispute that the discussion to potentially close Astoria happened but I had agreed to continue it after Shadow said they wanted to, just that my involvement would be ending, which low and behold is exactly what happened the following day.
How crass, Uni, if it was like that, then I'd doubt Shadow would have snapped because of what you did, the records show that you insisted that it was well within your right to... Take unilateral action? Hah, how ironic, clearly by that time they've already lost faith in your ability to keep your word, and I learned that long before anyone else did, "It wasn't that bad, I just took action that resulted in irreparable damage to the community"...
So you trusted Sarah more than Sateru, and Sarah decided to delete the community and what was left of it... I thought you were an expert at hindsight? This was your fault Uni, all the events leading up to you and Sarah breaking the community apart was all your fault, none of it was mine.
The even funnier part was how you tried to deflect the blame afterwards, "Well, I'm not the monarch anymore so it's not my problem"... God, I can't help but laugh.
You see the funny part is you say this yet that is quite literally exactly what happened in the events prior to my resignation. Additionally nowhere did I say I would close Astoria by my decision alone so I'm not sure where you've pulled that claim from.
It's not a matter of who I trusted more Rosa, I trusted both Sarah and Sateru a lot, Sarah was a founding member of Astoria and Sateru has been here ages as well, both had proven their dedication to the region time and time again. Either of them would have been a good ruler under normal circumstances. I cannot say why for sure Sarah snapped, but it did occur following Shadow's forum post, whether you believe Shadow was justified in making said post or not is irrelevant, this is an undeniable fact. But, I want it on the record that I never condoned the deletion of Astoria's discord, and I am still mad at Sarah for said decision.
Gonna need a source on where I said that one Rosa, I do remember saying something to the effect of I couldn't shape what happened from here, which was factual as my powers as just Keeper of the Nexus was far smaller than my powers as Astra Dea.
Post self-deleted by Poopera.
You abdicated to Sarah far before Shadow made that post, and going forward you only continued to prove Shadow's sentiments right, you proved Sateru right, they've told you dozens of times to communicate and you didn't... I did the same, but my lack of transparency didn't result in what yours resulted in, did it? It was a matter of who you trusted more, seeing as you didn't tell Sateru, and you brushed it off as "Well, take it up with Sarah."
Because you deflected the blame instead of actually facing it, of course it was no longer your problem, you abandoned your post so you could leave Sarah with the crown and not have to deal with Sateru and Shadow's anger about your actions.
The difference between us 2 is I have admitted fault for the decision to pass it to Sarah, and have discussed this with Sateru himself. Whereas you continue to maintain that you are blameless in the fall of Astoria. When we both know everything from your inaction during your third term as Archkeeper to your actions following your dismissal from Lady Grandmaster ultimately helped lead up to everything that transpired. And when everything did finally fall apart you came back to Astoria's discord solely for the purpose of gloating over the fall of the region you cared oh so much about.
I resigned because I was exhausted of running Astoria simple as that, and there was never anything more to it then that.
Admitting your screw-ups doesnt wipe away your failure with Astoria. The fact that I'm still standing while you're not welcome anywhere more says a lot about how everyone views your disaster. Clearly, they know who's really to blame for Astorias spectacular crash and burn. I'm here to rub it in your face because, surprise surprise, I was right all along! If my beloved region is going down in flames, the least I can do is mock the arsonists who set it ablaze. It wasnt my actions that led to this mess it was you, and you can't blame me for that.
And you resigned so you wouldn't have to deal with the consequences of your actions, either, your apology doesn't quite line up with Shadow's post.
