December 15th, Wednesday, 2004.
I signed up for Server 1 tonight with the intention of joining the Source alliance. As my luck would have it I landed in the same sector as Miltown and Sixpackistan, along with their groups. Ulsa's group also landed in my new sector, 1:8. So I'm in a sector full of people I've mostly killed at least once. So with the majority of the sector being from Source, we spared no time in creating and recruiting for Source. I went to bed because it was quite late and spam isn't my forte.

I've been commenting on how boned our sector will be during a war. Half the damned sector are viable kill targets. Anyways my empty group slots were filled when I woke up today. Everything according to plan, for once, except that some guy I don't know took (TopGunX) has got into my group some how and left one of my people stranded. I'll have to have a word with him.
The stranded group member I mentioned has been located in 4:36. The sector, to my luck, has a Source foothold. The SL didn't know the pass so I gave the pass, which I "borrowed" from Source. The sector is now part of Source, another good deed for the day. Source is #1 in scores. Everyone is getting to know one another in the alliance forums. I'm bored out of my mind.

Today I wrapped up my investigation of the "secret" probe team that was planning hits on KD's outside of Source. Boy it was a real challenge tricking two KD's who have never officered, not. I handed all the proof off to Source.
I started looking for some intel today. A little early I think. Most of the alliances don't seem to have their full lists prepared for my viewing yet. I found Lum's so far but only the stuff at the top of the forums. I found a few others but I'll keep those to myself.
A Source Trainee landed in Lum so I asked the AL to give him some kind of started position. He might just be the first Sourcey to learn something from this round.

Today I had nothing to do all day so I left my AIM and SK running all day. None of the officers were online during the morning or afternoon. The number of threads eventually reached 21 or 22. I had to push Kirby to apply for a trainee position with the alliances because he found it so disgusting, and the officers so inactive.
Sector 4:15 was having some very simple internal problems. The SL made a post in the alliance forums, and with no officers online I decided to intervene. A KD had landed into the sector late and wanted to run for SL, but it had already been decided. Apparently the current SL kept deleting his threads. The new comer also wanted to leave Source. He was flaming the SL because he wouldn't allow a new election. I proposed a new election thread and mutual respect for one another. Of course the SL did the exact opposite and now the entire thing has gone to hell. I got a talking to for helping the alliance, I guess I learned my lesson? I dug up some more intel but the lists are incomplete.
I asked a friend to give another friend a position as a Lum officer. His appointment was confirmed early today. I hope he learns alot there.

I lost internet for around 30 hours a couple of days ago so my Kingdom is pint sized at 32K NW. I'm not worried though. After 24 hours I've managed to catch up to most of my sector mates, and even pass a few.
Both of the Source sectors I have solved problems in have left source (4:15 and 1:29). 4:15 SL says his secto might be headed for Zamo, and 1:29 mentioned starting their own alliance. At this rate if I help any more people there won't be an alliance left to fix.
Nothing much is going on in the alliance. We're having inactive wars with Fenris and Gravity. There was a debate about creating a sister alliance, which I opposed. Source can barely operate one alliance right now. Right now we have 3 "problem" type threads. I hope they can streamline this issue.

Last night newbie mode eneded. I made some risky grabs, totaling 103 acers of land. A KD grabbed me twice, as well as Source's AL who happens to be in my sector. After 30 minutes the guy's Kingdom was worse off then mine. Then early this morning I received 10 probings on myself. Most failed, and the final was a suicide attack. There have apparently also been attacks on my group mate Kirby. The KD doing all this claims that I did something against a close friend of his. In any event he's admited to being a multi which means I can pass this off as a legitimate case to Source. This is gonna be a fun round at this rate. My current NW is around 40K because of the multi attacks, amatuers. At this rate I'll still outgrow most of my sector.

Well my kingdom is back on track. I was racing my SL, Miltown, to 100K NW. He beat me by around 200 NW early this morning. I've been wishing everyone on SK a merry christmas for the past several days. My main project has been collecting this round's officer lists. Sofar I have arounf 40% of all alliances covered, though I've been focusing almost exclusivly on the larger alliances. My sector has moved to mobilisation mode. Current NW is at around 100K.
There was a bit of a debate today between some of the officers. One of te KD's in my sector made a very large grab, beyond his means infact. According to the percent out definition of open, the KD was well defended. According to DPA he was almsot suicided. The number of retals issued ranged from an absurd number for everyone involved, to none whatsoever.
Halycon, a Source officer Trainee, asked me some questions about the politics of SK as well as a wide range of topics and opinions.

Source finally wrapped up its ~38 hour kill target of a suspected, and convicted cheater this morning. The tactics displayed were disgusting. The only saving grace was when Blood took command of that target late last night. When I logged on this morning the target had declined into anarchy. I gave some directions. Shortly after the target suicided, giving me some extra honor for my kingdom.
The alliance forums are starting to become slightly more organised, though they're quite sloppy for my tastes still. All in all it's been pretty dull so far. Current NW around 250K.

Interesting day indeed. Source had a mini uprising today, according to one of the officers I am the cause. I had nothing to do with this uprising, it was caused by the inactivity and incompotence of the officers and mods, nothing more. One sector (1:29) made a thread in the alliance forums stating that because of the situation of the alliance, that they would be leaving. several other sectors posted that they were either planning on leaving, or voting was too close to call, etc. Around 6 sectors made such statements. Originally I tried to calm things down but I started getting flamed and called a liar so I opened up a can of "you want complaints, I'll give you compalints" in the AF's. Later on I tried to cool things down again because the officers were getting slaughtered in the "debate".
At this point the thread will be on its 8th page within the next hour. Some Source officer are taking a stance akin to, "there is nothing wrong with our alliance", others are admitting there is room for improvement, props to Miltown for making that assesment. This alliance is going to the crappers. 2:38 has already left and I strongly suspect more will follow.
Halycon claims to have been banned from the Source Command Center for having made suggestions contrary to the will of other officers and for reccomending me as an officer. It seems really sad how they're making other people pay for their own paranoia.
current NW around 405K. I've been a little inactive and got some arsons awhile back. Stupid FDC is useless.

The uprising in Source has gone from words to actions. We have lost 4 sectors. We have also gained 2 smaller sectors. A 5th sector is flagging that they are accepting alliance offers. Unless we get a new sector soon Source will be 8th place at next scores update.
Miltown was made VAL because the AL (sixpackistan) and VAL (Rilian) weren't active enough to keep the alliance running properly. The forums are fairly tidy, though retals seem to be expiring with nobody doing them. The other day I did a retal which may, as it turns out, to have been invalid. I wasn't too pleased that the investigation seems to have been half assed, but I wasn't surprised cause this happens sometimes in Source.
I'm currently 6th for Source HoF for this round. It's odd because I haven't actually done anything, but I guess I won't complain.
Current NW is around 550K. I havne't been active in the least regarding my NW.

I've been banned from the Source alliance forums for approximatly 24 hours. The ban also includes Source's private site. The official reason given is that I'm accused of spreading intel to enemies of Source. Several officers have confirmed to me that this charge is a smokescreen, and is utter BS. The true reason and duration of the ban remains unknown. Several of the sectors have put [VICTUS] in their sector names as a sign of support. Several have removed them do to "strong complaints from officers".
The investigation I was asked to do by a Source admiral was a hoax as I suspected. This matter will be dealt with.

Still banned from Source site and AF's. One the bright side, some little newb who's been flaming me in my sector forums for helping in the war against 3:5 has been exposed as a multi and is currently on his way to hell, a good days work if I do say so. Source's strongest sector is accepting alliance offers. If they leave it will put us down to #10 on the alliance scores. For an alliance as supposedly "great" as Source, it seems to have alot of trouble actually keeping its sectors.
Over the last few days there was a war between Zamo and Fenris/Masq. Zamoloxe killed Mind, who was AL of Masq. They also declared war on Fenris. The entire things started over sector 3:5 which wormed its way into Lum after the war started. Zamo got hammered and soon surrendered after less than a full day of combat. Masq and Lum are currently fighting over the same sector. Though my participation in the assault on 3:5 was for different reasons than Masq's, I hope they do em up nice. Since both Lum and Masq are friendly alliances I will likely disregard any requests that don't purtain to 3:5.
Current NW is 750K

Still banned. Source is losing sectors fast. 1:29, our highest NW sector, has left. It is supposedly headed towards Masq. So has 1:39. 4:34 is rumored to be leaving as well. Right now we're less than my KD's NW away from being in 10th place.
A ceasefire has been called in the Lum/Masq dispute. This makes me happy since I'm friends with both sets of leadership.

Still banned. Source picked up 4 sectors in order to replace the ones that they lost during the 2nd, more tame uprising. These sectors are below average in size. Their mean NW is 2.4 million. After this 4:34 left, leaving us with an empty slot in the alliance. A sector containing a Source officer is due to arrive soon as said officer told me. We are currently 9th. Depending on the size of the new sector it's possible that we will move up to an unstable 8th place.
One of the officers in my sector was demoted today after refusing to give infomation to the other officers regarding a leak in Source's website Command Center, which is hidden from public view.
Another Source officer asked me if he could log on to my account the other day to "see what's going on in the AF's". I of course refused as it would be cheating to do so. I am uncertain as to if the officer actally forgot that I can't see the AF's or if it was an inferior attempt by Source to find an excuse to kill me. Either way the convo is saved for safe keeping.
I bagged a suicider the other day so I've gained on Miltown. Most of the officers have reached higher NW's this round, though most of them are turtles so their KD's are useless for making grabs. Our sector got beaten hard today, losing over 500 land in grabs (after including the gained land).
1:29 somehow found out about my sector's intention to target them. The former Source sector was not pleased. I and a few others in my sector received warning messages. It may have been sent to other alliance mates aswell.

Still banned. The officer I mentioned in my last entry, the one that was demoted, has agreed to join my group for next round. Should be pretty interesting.
Source picked up a new sector hafter booting one of our extremely small sectors. The newcomers are also a below average sector but it's better than what we had. The addition has finally pushed us above 9th place. We are 10 million short of passing our next rung on the scores, TRWfed. They are fighting a war with GunzandRozes so it's possible they will lose enough NW for us to pass them soon, I doubt it though.
The sector is moving up in the scores. We're currently around 38th in the universe. We are Source's strongest sector after all the others left. Essentially the alliance and sector have wh0red the entire round. Despite this valiant effort at wasting time, many officers remain at low NW's. Most of the officers in my sector are turtles, so their NW is a useless fluff of LD's, their KD's can contribute nothing. During the yellow alert, officers and KD's were to build missiles for a possible conflict. Many did not. In my biography I wrote how boring Fenris is when I'm there. I retracct that statement. At least they have wars and KT's. Source just forms, wh0res, and reaches average NW's.
