Trist3
Phrourach
On an island far far away... oh wait wrong script.
In the light of what seems to be a self-induced descent into madness by the once "great" leader, I Trist3 is reporting live from the middle of ocean 55 to give you the best of news and to reveal the truth to all the hoplites of the ancient world on what the Big Papa has been up to in these past 2 months. We have conducted thorough research from within his team, the Spirtum Sancti (definitely wasn't part of this organization), have gathered multiple interviews and eyewitnesses close to the leader himself, and have compiled our findings into a "short" report bellow. Please enjoy learning about the many faces of the biggest of Papas
Here we take a look at the Papa in his "prime", back when he was an active and respected leader in SS (lol). Over the course of his prosperous reign, the alliance had seen a variety of success, such as 3 OPs, the last of which resulted in no CS lost, and the recruitment of many of the strongest hoplites (players) the ancient world has ever seen. Little was it known to the outside public that it was in fact the great Trist3, the other leader of the land, who had organized said 3 OPs, where papa was rarely seen helping his teammates or even attempting to lead his troops into battle.
He did, however, step up his activity on the recruitment front, inviting the likes of HI droggen (a hoplite turned envoy who would go on to sim and lie about his walls to kill alliance troops before losing cities without posting) or Dunster91 (a brave hoplite turned militia who after receiving one attack from CM decided to run to Nemesis where he would be safer). In fact, our investigator in cheif Moon Breathing has uncovered that every lost city by SS to CM were from players directly recruited by the great papa himself, a show of his strengths on the leadership front.
Yet the Papa was a beloved leader who frequently rejoiced in the company of his subjects, showing himself once or twice a day on the discord when no attacks where happening (to make sure he was not asked to help) and promptly left to take care of business once defense threads went up or leadership decisions had to be made. That being said his subjects appear to remain loyal, as shown by a statement from his right hand man, the simmer incarnate and most trusted of papa, the Lord Carpathian

Sadly for the Papa, things took a turn for the worse on a faithful day where CM would come to realize the gap in leadership this great emperor caused. After a day of the emperor hiding away in his palace, not helping in organization or in battle to defend the many cities he had once established as his empire, the Papa took to the scribes to create a masterpiece of a thread exposing his enemies .. (wait is this correct? - yeah yeah that's what we found - oh ok)... sins? The following tabloid resulted in a heated discussion where the emperor, providing no proof to support his claim, was ridiculed by leaders of nearby lands. The result? he back's down on his claim in defeat, pretending to his subject that he never meant any of it. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/380849113488556032/717081521923686460/unknown.png
The papa erupted in anger and began preparing his plan to ruin his enemies, a plan we will present in chapter 4, no knowing that his recent actions had been the last straw that his subject could take. A revolt began in his empire lead by nonother then the true leader of his people (hi that's me). His men start deserting, ashamed at the behavior oh their leader, looking for hope in a better place. The Emperor is furious and begins a campaign of propaganda to strengthen his claim to the throne of 55.
The Papa does not give up tho, he proceeds to his next best option and art which he has perfected of years of practice, lying, and deceiving. He begins his new campaign by deleting the leaving post of the ex founder (me again hello), a truly childish maneuver from an angry lil man (too far? oh sorry), leaving his own team baffled and asking questions as to why he would sensor his "friends" explanation for leaving. Nevertheless, the great Papa is now focused on positivity and sends a word of appeasement as an MM to his remaining subjects.
Seems a bit Hypocritical coming from the man recruiting as many players as he can find in 55, but the plan is solid, appeasement into reorganization. But he reinforces with the next MM to his team, pushing a sense of unity even deeper then he had before, and showing more activity then he has in 2 months
The Emperor is succeeding! only 10 or so members have left his team, leaving him with the majority of his hoplites still loyal to him. As a final boost he decides to send a 3rd MM reassuring them they are in the right hands, and that his leadership will bring them "loyalty and unity"
Oh wait did we get the wrong transcript again? no? oh well, it would appear the emperor quickly changed his mind, but fear not, for the great Papa always has a plan, and he is about to unleash his true weapon, with lack of a name for this plan, we called it "the death strat". A statement from the emperor himself explaining his new plan and the reason for it. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/380849113488556032/717079666971902032/unknown.png
