LEN

The League of Extraordinary Nations



LEN was originally a refugee alliance during a civil war within the Dark Nations Association (DNA). In the dieing days of DNA in September 2006 Timeline, one of the most active members of DNA set about a campaign to take over the leadership with the endorsement of most of the DNA membership. However Timeline was impatient and wanted leadership instantly with no charter, no constitution - just the leadership position as soon as it could be arranged to get his own team in place. Daemon convinced Timeline that a charter was needed and between Daemon and Timeline they arranged to create a charter which would establish the DNA rights and responsibilities before an election and would also define what the membership were actually electing. Writing the constitution after being elected would mean that Timeline could write anything he wanted and give himself as much power as he wanted.

Timeline went ahead and held his election before the constitution was written and Daemon and a few others left DNA in protest at Timeline being given unspecified executive power in the election.

A week later Coloradia and Daemon got together and decided to join together under a single alliance tag for protection and opened the LEN forums at the very end of September/start of October 2006.

Within days Timeline ordered an attack on Coloradia under the guise of Treason against DNA. Timeline and DeadMetal, Timelines chief internal DNA ally, attacked and the result would have been inevitable if not for political maneuvering behind the scenes which resulted in the rest of DNA refusing to support Timeline and actually start to leave DNA in protest at Timeline's actions. The exodus from DNA began.

Timeline threw a hissy fit and shut down the DNA forums in protest at people refusing his authority and half of the refugees from DNA joined LEN. The other half drifted from alliance to alliance and eventually joined back together with DeadMetal to form a new alliance - the Global Order of Defense (GooD).

Timeline threatened legal action in RL against LEN for posting flames against him on the LEN forums soon after he was left on his own. Eventually he went to join STA and then left to join CSN.

LEN started work, got a charter and elected leaders, established good relations with many other alliances, gained protectorate status of the Siberian Toger ALliance (STA), signed treaty's, began an aid program and an aggressive recruitment program. Membership quickly grew.

GooD became the sister alliance, effectively formed from the other half of DNA but for some inexplicable reason in late 2006 DeadMetal left GooD, rejoined Timeline now in CSN, and GooD began to wither. Many GooD members found a home in LEN boosting their numbers to over 50 in December 2006.
