Coup in Rijeka (featuring a pre-coup interview with former Rijekan Emperor MasterOfParadox)

Today, flameoguy announced that a coup d’etat took place within the Rijekan Empire, removing MasterOfParadox from power, and placing flameoguy as the new Emperor of Rijeka. flameoguy stated the coup was because of MoP’s ‘uselessness as a leader’. According to flameoguy, they had a carrot duel, when according to flameo, MoP resorted to using a diamond sword to try to kill him. Flameo responded by killing MoP with his iron sword. After this, MoP announced that he had every intention of seizing back power, claiming he was backed by 6ix.

Interview with MasterOfParadox (done before the coup)

Aqua: What is Rijeka, and what is your role in it?

MoP: Rijeka is a large feudal empire consisting of many lands and islands. I am the Emperor of said empire. (Editor’s Note: As of right now, he isn’t the Emperor anymore)

Aqua: How do you feel about the server considering you completely irrelevant, and why do you think it happened?

MoP: It’s nothing more than a meme. It started in 1.0 with Arcestir, I think.

Aqua: Do you have any particular thoughts on your complicated relationship with Devon?

MoP: No comment. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )

Aqua: What are your roles as a moderator (what do you do basically)

MoP: I do the Reddit thing and make the staff team look large

Aqua: Why would you encourage new players to join Rijeka?

MoP: We’re large, influential, powerful, and friendly

Aqua: What are Rijeka’s plans for the future?

MoP: Expand and settle our unsettled owned lands.

Aqua: What are Rijeka’s views on other nations?

MoP: Metepec is bae. Coastaro is cool. Picarona is pope. 6ix is imperial buddies. UOS is Terminator (starring ncordo as Arnold Schwarzenegger). Arcation is world police. Reach is Arcation’s child. OFR is Rijekan clay.

Aqua: Do you consider Rijeka to be imperialist?

MoP: Yes.

Aqua: What are your personal views on server politics at the moment?

MoP: Arcation has grown so large that they can now face 6ix. These equal powers will make gameplay very interesting, forming sort of blocs.

Aqua: How relevant do you consider yourself to be?

MoP: Very.

The Circadian Observer would like to thank MasterOfParadox for participating in this interview.

Grand Opening of Cathedral in Mandis

Today, the Republic of Mandis officially opened the Cubist Cathedral in Port Hercules. The opening was open to everyone, with Mandis providing free food.

‘Poortealand’ claim

The infamous individual known as poortea, wanted for grief, murder, theft, and countless other crimes by many nations today claimed a set of land he called ‘Poortealand’. It was actually within the claim of the Meritocracy of Iudea.

Immediately after his post, it was met with staunch criticism, with the nations of UOS, Coastaro, Picarona and Draconis teaming up on poortea. Viriskali, the Prophet of Lavai released an official statement, after the Lord Premier of Iudea offered vassalage to poortea

As he’s been excommunicated from the church of Lavai I ask that you do not allow him in your lands. He has killed and stolen from a member of the Church.

Following that, the Lord Premier then issued a statement to poortea saying

Poortea, I’m sorry to say that, for your own safety, you can no longer live in my lands. Perhaps when you have made peace with the server, you may return but currently such an option is not possible. I’ll give you a week to move out.

poortea claims he is now writing an apology post. At the time of when this article post was written, no official apology has been written yet.
