The United Mahouts of Epicaricacy (UME) is an organisation of self-aggrandising internet trolls who formed in early 2008 and with whom Cybernation has had innumerable run-ins; this page of course points out the unfortunate fact that at one stage they were organising an alliance on Cybernations. They are presently commanded by a mysterious figure known as UTOPOS who appears as deity and symbolic representation of what the UME figure as the highest good in their trollogical religion. UTOPOS is usually referred to by his titular apanage Grand Mahout by members of this organisation. They have also acquired a nasty reputation for botheration of people in Cybernations. Their activities are often malicious and more often downright illegal -- 'Thats illegal' is a common shibboleth within the UME community used facetiously to initiate chat over mIRC. Their activities include: spamming offensive ASCII art on Coldfront; juping channels on coldfront and massbanning everyone with the message UME4LYFE; tricking people into being ZLINED by using words like UME4LYFE on Coldfront which they have gotten banned through query-spamming and sending UME clones onto the network spamming it in every CN-related channel; hacking cybernation players' accounts by exploiting easy passwords; account phishing; Cybernation alliance forum hackings, notably the GATO forum in January 2010; DDOS attacks on Cybernation alliances, notably IRON in 2009; gaining access to government forums such as NPO's in 2010 and posting screenshots of disputed value to their enemies. Notable members include UTOPOS, UNCLE JIM BOB arcofmudkip, League_of_autononous_Boy, Herr Doktor Diogenes Hoch Professor of Trollogy, and galavaly VENI_VIDI_VICI. At bottom, UME has terrorised numerous online nation-simulators and they warrant the condemnation of all the community as internet terrorists.

Birth of the United Mahouts of Epicaricacy out of the depths of Primeval Africs

City Empires:

Africa: Racism and Revolution.

The UME have raided many games since their formation in early 2008. Most notable is their raid on the online text-based nation simulator City Empires, which they demolished and ruined. UME's ruination was not without earlier precedence in ruination-attempts, there were earlier botched 4channel raids made by known members of the /b/ alliance on Cybernations; for exiles form /b/ on Cybernations founded 'Africa' on City Empires. Africa followed the general development which the /b/ alliance on Cybernations had by maintaining a quietist foreign policy and developing rather slowly. Let us proclaim that Africa was by far the largest alliance on City Empires. Africa was acutely named for its propensities to involve highly racial references and language in public announcements. The quantities of racist innuendo were greatly increased by the writing talents of a obscure figure known as UTOPOS, god of CN, whose story we shall relate below.

City Empires at this stage was only a few months old. Thus The threat of a /b/ alliance drawing on its numbers to effectively obliterate everyone else created a disquieting atmosphere of mutual distrust which led directly to a world war against Africa, known as the African War. Justification of the CB against Africa was difficult to moralise to the masses until members of Africa began posting child pornography on the forums and launching DDOS attacks on the web server. The morality of these actions was dubious, and many thought that Africans were being racist by justifying their actions with African-American popular culture. The war, known as the 'African War', ended Africa completely and utterly. The 304 cities of Africa were no match against the slightly more mature and combined 224 cities of the world. Internally unrest had broken out in the African camp and their IRC channel had exploded.

In the desperation and destruction of Africa's annihilation many factions were thus formed. All but one of these factions was to live on beyond the hour of doom which had come upon Africa. But, gentle reader, what was that one glaring exception which stood out and proclaimed itself existent. It is that exception which has since time immemorial with flute-songs and dithyrambic sways hailed itself as the United Mahouts of Epicaricacy -- acronymically -- UME. The almost primal sound produced by uttering the word acronym is said to re-suggest its dionysiac birth in the knee-womb of Africa, under whose cerebral parturition a noble internet god, a cunning wag named Adolph Mohamet of UTOPOS was brought forth.

Post-Africa: Birth of a Mahout

After the fall of Africa some weeks past before UME completed their internal revolution and UTOPOS had positioned himself for the beginning of Operation Mahout-Seed.

UTOPOS died in early 2009 with the defence of UTOPOS Holy Crusade still going on. Still, the defensive measures he had put in place served the UME well. McPuffin was not taken by the Trinh until February 2009. Furthermore, his defensive success in these first battles is a credit to his ability to attract talented men to his cause and make use of expert military advice, even when it came from another country.
