"Bad, it was bad" - HIM Thomas of Hrafnarfjall
With representatives from various micronations present in voice chat on the Hrafnarfjall Discord server, His Imperial Majesty gave them a "Press Conference" regarding the events of the past few days, culminating in Hrafnarfjall's departure from the GUM.
"Today MicroWiki's Discord server was shut down, resulting in a new one. Hrafnarfjall tried to replace it." Thus began Thomas of Hrafnarfjall the unexpected "press conference" after the events of October 27.
In the afternoon of that day a new server was created, called "MicroPub", which would serve as a replacement for the defunct MicroWiki Discord server. Matthew from Essexia made several negative comments that were not liked by several users, and some were directed to the King of Hrafnarfjall, who tried to enforce the rules of this new server as its administrator.
A "movement" arose against the new server, the "FreeMatt movement", who carried out a server raid on MicroPub along with other "trolls", all organized by the Commonwealth of Essexia; so declares His Imperial Majesty during the event.
Hrafnarfjall brought this fact to the GUM, plus the President, as well as the Vice President (Matthew himself) being from Essexia, ignored the complaints, breaking the Terms of Service (TOS). Thus, Hrafnarfjall came out of the Grand Unified Micronational.
"Hrafnarfjall is distancing itself from the MicroWiki Community and distancing itself from the site due to issues such as the MicroWiki front lines," states the King of Hrafnarfjall.
After the explanation by His Imperial Majesty, the representatives present had a space to ask questions.
Thus Hrafnarfjall declared that letters and emails will reach his allies; will help those who wish to leave MicroWiki; and His Imperial Majesty thinks that Hrafnarfjall's diplomatic approach will only change very little, as there are plans to work with nations outside the purview of MicroWiki, slightly predicting in the past that something like what happened was going to happen.
In addition, the King declares that the diplomatic consequences will depend on how people take this information, just as there will be no consequences for those who tried to help; and he sees that the MicroWiki sector will most likely become smaller communities and bubbles, in contrast to the large MicroWiki Community that existed. "Honestly, I think we will end up with a diaspora of communities."
At the end of the event, His Imperial Majesty of Hrafnarfjall declared that he is well.
