So pretty much exactly what Falc did when he took over without a vote?

Would obliterating the constitution and rewriting the code to ensure supreme control be covered under 'own agenda'?

Just wondering where you draw the line AV.
The big difference is that Falc, like it or not, actually have the authority to do whatever the hell he wants. He is the region founder and the legal owner of this forum.

Reminds me of Nigeria in the 80's Poor Hadi, we should call him Ieebo.

Look at the topic title, does the word temporary mean anything to you? This wasn't a massive seizure of power, or permanent change to the governmental structure of Equinox. Hadi merely provided a means by which the citizens could move the region forward in Falc's absence. I personally had been very worried about the lack of progress over the past week or so, and I know many of you felt the same. We didn't know how long Falc would be gone and that was particularly disturbing considering our current reliance on him under the current system. Hadi was merely ensuring that we had something to do in Falc's absence and I don't think his actions should be seen as anything other than in the region's best interests considering the circumstances.

Falc's back now and the changes are largely null and void so surely we should accept that this isn't a topic to bicker about?

Hadi, I hope you did not think I was talking bad of you.

In the Military Coups in Nigeria in the 80's they always tried to blame the white man aka Ieebo.

I was stating that I did not think it was fair that you was being blamed again. I think what you did was much more productive than the bullshit we've had for the last week. But ours is not to reason why and all that.

This one knows nothing

If it helps, me & Hadi were talking about it, and via our discussion (And I assume he may have been talking with others too), he decided to say the change.

Since, we didn't know where Falc was, and if you see his reply to Falc's post, it was because it wasn't clear if he is still going to be busy or not.

Call it what you will, but it was not at the same level as the monarchy. With someone temporary able to organize people, maybe some progress will be done. Humans do need someone to lead.

Think about tests done on people's reactions.

If a test subject and a man are both in a room alone, say the premise of the "test" is to see how the subject can interact with a stranger. The man fakes a heart attack, there is high chance the subject leaves to alert someone or calls someone from his phone.

Now take this same scenario, but add in multiple subjects and call the premise of the test "Group Interaction" amongst strangers. The man fakes a heart attack, it's been shown in real tests that the group of "subjects" will not immediately do anything.

Why? Because you expect someone else to take the lead. Of course there are exceptions, some people are leader material at the start or are really sensitive to the plight of others.

Hadi is the single one person who still tries to revive this place.

Falc LEFT, and got INACTIVE after imposing a model which he envisioned and understands, and that, therefore, he should be the one pushing and implemented.

Get off Hadis back NOW. -_______-

HI HO SILVER!

Aight folks, lets think about this. The last two coups were coups. A violent, egotistical, unwanted change in government. What Hadi is doing is different, he is working through the government and the voice of the people to try and make things better.
Sure, I have lost my hope in the people in Equinox the last couple of days cause no one cares, mainly cause no one gives a rat's ass what I have to say. which has slowly driven me away to just a semi-lurker spammer. But not Hadi, he is trying and as for me I throw my lot with him....I got ya back boyo

So a temp. fix to the temp fix. His temp fix was literally to throw up what Falc planned and do what he had previously stated and it was shot down.

This is the 3rd time Hadi has been part of a Coup in EQ. The first time was using his Emergency powers to disolve the government and put forth his constitution, which he only a few short months later conspired to overthrow his own constitution with another one of his constitutions (the Monarch thing), then when that didnt go his way he contacted Falc, who in turn over threw that constitution. Now Falc put in place his Equinox Code and at the literal first chance to do so, he takes it upon himself to change that too.

anyone see see a pattern here?

Calling out "conspiracy" at everything isn't very productive.

Well it is when it is true and its admitted by the individual. Hadi has admitted that he conspired with Ayslum, Ashli, Janka, Drac, and whom ever else to overthrow the previous government. Its a matter of record that they all agree to.
