ETF Trades for Presidency in Last-Minute Deal, Skips Rotation

By Griff Harpoon · 2026-01-03

State 2128 has a rotation system for presidency. Black Tataro of 300 was next in line. ETF wanted it instead and made a deal while key leaders were offline. The swap happened right before the transfer window opened, giving ETF control over who enters the state. When concerns were raised about the timing, responses included 'trust the process' and 'this is good for 2128.' HAVOC questioned why the rotation was abandoned for a last-minute trade. Everyone else seemed fine with it. The presidency and transfer manager role now belong to the alliance that has been rumored to be considering reintroducing NAP and transfer to another state. They got their turn by negotiating around the schedule. That's not rotation. That's a transaction. —Griff Harpoon, actually reporting.
