omg LEXX its YOU!!!!! ok ok ok... I cant write like you and its been a long time so let me sum it up for you best i can. Weifert was our leader yes. But i was the master mind behind the take over.... (sorry bout that! all in good fun!) So what happened was, we pretty much owned resource trades across the planets for a short while. i had access to about 20 accounts all with harvesters everywhere so we made a LOT of money. Once i became a politician and learning the ropes, i found a flaw in the game. All you had to do was put a house down and go vote, and all city elections are held at the same time.. it had nothing to do with the city expanding and people getting grand fathered into the city. SO i proposed to Weifert we put people in other cities and get them security clearance if needed, as some cities required permissions to put a house down, and only the mayor or security could give that permission; however i did not tell him why, simply i would pay for it, and that it was necessary to our survival at the time. Weifert trusting me as his right hand agreed. I dont remember the name of your citizen or any of them for that matter, they where all pawns. But essentially what i did was payed someone off in your cities to give our infiltrator Security rights. Once we had a man in all the cities we wanted, i went to WORK. I put a house close to the starport on lok, and began filling it with house deeds and speeder bike deeds. Thats when i called in weifert and explained why i had him place our people in other Cities, we were going to take over the galaxy.

So thats when the night came we did it.. we stayed up late and waited for the server to go low population so nobody would know it was happening. We stood outside the star port of tatoine recruiting new players, We took everyone we knew with alt accounts, i had 5 myself, Weifert had 3 on his own, altogether from our guild we had about 20 guys with alt accounts. plus the newbs joing late at night. We told them ""all you have to do is take this house deed, take this speeder bike, go to this city, meet our security officer, put your house down, and go vote for said security officer in the election that was happening in less then 3 hours, and we would pay you a silly SILLY amount of cash.. And so it began.... the rise AND FALL of europa.... had i known what i know now i would not had done this...... So we spend the next few hours handing out houses, bikes and cash, idk how many times.. but the election took place.. and in every city we wanted, from tat to lok to naboo, all fell to our infiltrator that night.. Europa took over the Galaxy in a single night. and we held it for less then a week..... I considered myself a great conquerer and we where all very proud of ourselves as we logged off, red eyed from a late night of playing... What i didnt relies was that the next morning, would ruin my game experience, and simply put, lead to both my and Weiferts exodus of the game. The next morning i awoke to messages upon messages, and the same for Weifert.. people were mad, obviously, but people were also screen shooting our convos, editing them and posting them online to make us say horrid things, only so they could report us to GMs. This went on for days.. from threats to attacks... man.. it was bad.. AND THEN THE GMS!!!!. i had to talk to a new GM every few hours.. we actualy had the user agreement copied on a note pad, so we could quick cut/paste and explain THEIR OWN USER AGREEMENT TO THEM, and prove we never hacked the game, we never broke any rules, we simply used the system they provided for us.. GMs also have the ability to look threw your old convos and saw that we did not say those horrid things, and OTHER people got banned for reporting us, which only made more people mad that they where loosing friends and players because of us. The harassing never stopped.. after about a week of this, we lost all the cities back to natural votes, or players disbanding to other cities. 15 days after the take over, upon server shut down and an update release, SWG CHANGED THE RULES OF THE VOTING SYSTEM do to our actions... It was 2 weeks later after the take over.. the game became a job.. message after message, threat after threat, we lost all our trades, we lost most of our guild because they were getting harassed as well.. anyone with the Europa banner became a target.. thats when weifert asked me to join him on top a hill overlooking our city.. He said he was done.. Now i never knew Weifert out side SWG, but the DAY i joined, he found me in the desert about 20 mins into me playing the game. He gave me money, gave me a bike, i joined his new city.. He made me who i was... we started logging on the same times, taking over each others accounts to help do things, there were times you were talking to weifert, but it was me at the keys and vice versa.. we became online digital brothers for almost a year or more.. however long we played.. So when he said he was done, i was in shock.. he wished me well, sat down on the sand, and faded away.... i stood over looking at that city, and i knew it was my fault.. I had nothing left to do, our city was dying.. i was alone.. I spent the last few hours paying for his house, my house, and putting items away, hoping he might change his mind.. then i logged out. Its actually pretty heart braking to me to think about. but i am glad to say that Years later i found Weifert on FB, and we have kept in touch over the years. Just like im glad i found this here to read, and glad i get to tell you my story.. And i would like to apologies for the head ache we caused.. My only highlight here, is that i single handedly made SOE change the rules of SWG.. Im on FB, im in the group SWG EMU, if you ever feel like looking me up. just post looking for Oien Lightstrider there.. id love to chat.
