Purge

Founding of Purge
Purge was founded around June 1st 2007 by Strungout and Hannibal of the GOLD Alliance, both prominent members of the GOLD Security Council. They left the alliance (thereby initiating a great exodus) and Purge was born.

Not too long into its existence, Purge merged with the alliance Golden Sabres. Many Purge members, however, left after this and joined \m/, where they stayed for several months until The Unjust War. In the wake of the War and \m/'s dissolution, Purge was reformed by Strungout, Bob Sanders, and Thomas20. Many original members rejoined, bringing new members with them.

Purge was founded on and continues to follow a general feeling of friendship and an easy-going attitude, due to the close-knit nature of the original alliance.

The Triumvirate
The recreation of Purge was lead by a Triumvirate instead of the two members, Hannibal and Strungout. The Triumvir consisted of Thomas20, Sanders, and Strungout. Due to internal affairs Sanders felt the need to leave Purge for good. After this event, Thomas20 and Strungout elected Comrade Korey the new member of the Triumvirate. Not so long after there was more trouble on the horizon as Thomas20 felt the need to leave his position due to non-Cybernations related problems. He, however, remained in Purge. With Thomas20 now gone nation ruler UberSpion was elected the newest member of the Triumvirate. Even after this Purge could not manage to catch a break. Soon Strungout left for Valhalla and was with Sanders. After this event Uber and Korey voted in AnthonyK as the newest Triumvir. AnthonyK was glad to join the ranks and things were looking up. In time, Uberspion also left for Valhalla and AnthonyK and Korey elected Oreocookie as the third Triumvir. It should be noted that Oreo is the first female Triumvir of Purge. This final trio after much ordeal worked together quite nicely. Oreocookie, AnthonyK, and Comrade Korey remain to lead Purge to this day.

Purge-ROFL Merger
On November 23rd 2007, the alliance of ROFL was assimilated into Purge, thereby doubling Purges numbers from around 15 to 30. As a result of the merger, many ROFL members attained status as cabinet members in Purge's government.

Purge Has Elections
On December 15th 2007, Purge held it's first elections for cabinet positions the exchanges occurring peacefully. Pathos abdicated his position as Minister of Foreign Affairs and went on to run for Minister of Recruitment literally unopposed. Kharn, a former diplomat from the NpO, ran for the position against xyhuang, some controversy arrived from Pathos using his administrative powers to edit Kharn's message of announcing his run, for the sake of proper diction and spelling. He was quick to apologize for the action. It was a close call for the open seat of Minister of Finance, but Brightside managed to narrowly beat NeoChe 7:5. Myrddin easily seized the position of Cabinet Head, and Schloss kept his position against h4xxor, winning the seat.

The greatest deal of controversy arose when Pathos, again overstepping his boundaries as an administrator, completely revamped the forums due to public demand to reduce clutter. The Minister of Internal Affairs, grobend123, who was in charge of the previous forum layout, was outraged. He demanded a government meeting to which Pathos and triumvir Oreo were the only ones to attend. While the events of the meeting were held behind closed doors, it was concluded in its aftermath that grobend123 was to be stripped of his administrative mask, lest he return the forums to their previous cluttered state. ShortyCharlemagne was soon drafted to run against grobend123 as Minister of Internal Affairs; the latter was beaten seven votes to two. Since that time apologies have been exchanged and good feelings have returned to Purge just in time for the holidays.

Involvement in the BAPS War
On January 6th, 2008, Purge joined its allies in the Overlord Protectorate Pact, and both the Federation itself and its allies, against the BAPS Alliance. TDSM8 joined in, attacking 64Digits, therefore declaring on Purge as well. The war still continues to this day, with BAPS and TDSM8 vastly outnumbered
