The newly reformed Elven Empire unexpectedly made an offer to the Verussian citizens to merge into their empire, which caused much friction in the League of Nations, the renamed "Allied". The Verussians agreed to the proposal. This action ultimately put an end to the war, but caused a deep rift between the former close allies. | The newly reformed Elven Empire unexpectedly made an offer to the Verussian citizens to merge into their empire, which caused much friction in the League of Nations, the renamed "Allied".

Ultracreeper had been campaigning for a revolt against donators for some weeks. He took up contact with [[Lego]], the British Empire's new Chief of Police and revealed to him a plan to topple the British government by rigging the elections. Lego reported this and the story soon made headlines in the [[Ashikagan]] embassy [http://piratemc.com/groups/ashikagan-embassy/forum/topic/tensions-with-the-british-empire/]. Ultracreeper renamed himself "the Kaiser" and defended his actions by announcing he wanted to establish a [[Colrainist]] government with revolutionary ideals. His explanation was widely condemned, especially as the BE was well-known as the only big democracy on the server. | ||
The Kaiser interrupted a British war vote by declaring war on the British Empire on 31st January 2016 [http://piratemc.com/groups/ashikagan-embassy/forum/topic/declaration-of-war-against-the-british-empire/] The conflict was short-lived, as CrazyPirate1 managed to plunder Ulracreeper's valuables, including a beacon, during a scouting raid. | The Kaiser interrupted a British war vote by declaring war on the British Empire on 31st January 2016 [http://piratemc.com/groups/ashikagan-embassy/forum/topic/declaration-of-war-against-the-british-empire/] The conflict was short-lived, as CrazyPirate1 managed to plunder Ulracreeper's valuables, including a beacon, during a scouting raid. | ||
Elections were held from 17th until 24th March 2016. For the first time three candidate duos emerged - CaptainCrackerz (PM) and iKeto (VPM) vs. BGraph (PM) and Crazy Pirate (VPM) vs. Bislo (PM) and Lawzoneon (VPM). Despite the usage of media such as posters and YouTube videos by the competition, Bislo and Lawzoneon won the election race with their promise of kickstarting the construction of the capital city of London. | Elections were held from 17th until 24th March 2016.

Soon after the election the decision was made to merge the [[British Empire Training Crew]] (BETC) back into the main crew. The reason was that that too many recruits found friends in the BETC and didn't want to "graduate" into the British Empire for fear of losing contact with their comrades through /crew chat. The British Empire had been suffering a period of stagnation due to this effect and was in desperate need of fresh blood. The leadership recognised that in the long term, the BETC would end up smothering the group it had been designed to protect - thus the BETC had to be disbanded. Its legacy lived on, however, as Lazydog11's town [[Gloomsbay]] had been massively expanded due to the influx of new recruits and boasted, among other things, housing for dozens of active players and a large PvP arena. | Soon after the election the decision was made to merge the [[British Empire Training Crew]] (BETC) back into the main crew.
