The Fall of Ainur?

At just barely a year old, the Region of Ainur, has been declared CLOSED by it's Founder Apollo, who is also a current Citizen and former ranking member of Europeia. In a message sent to the entire Region just five hours ago, Apollo declared the Region closed and suggested everyone move their Nations to Asgard.



TheRoman is my nation located there. To anyone who has spent any time on Ainur's forums in the last month or so, this would come as no surprise. Apollo's activity has been next to nonexistent with only a few posts numbering less than 20. It is not yet clear whether this will be Ainur's final hour or the setup for an elaborate rebuild but it appears that at least one person has taken this to heart and left the Region for Asgard. That would be Ainur's WA Delegate leaving the Region unrepresented.

Many older members of the Region are resisting vehemently to Apollo's statement that the Region is dead. Apollo was on briefly to ask in the Senate who should be given Root Admin on the forum. He also stated that if no names appeared within 48 hours then the boards would go offline. It appears that this particular crisis was averted and some form of Admin access was granted to a couple of select individuals but the situation is far from decided. So far, Apollo has seemed unwilling to hand access to the Founder Nation over to anyone so will the Forum be safe while Ainur becomes just another Founderless Region?

More information to come as it develops. We here at the EBC wish Ainur the best of luck in the coming hours.

At least seven Regions have departed Ainur for the shores of Asgard and Apollo has granted the WAD access to Regional Control.
 
Wow....

Apollo is just a fool.

Now we need need someone to pull Ainur out of the Arnhelm standards. :p

Let's keep that kind of talk to a minimum. This is about Ainur, not Apollo.

Is there a clause for that? I don't remember...
 
I'll be ready to do so when the people of Ainur have come to a decision about the future, should be in the next 48 hours. I'm still State Consul, so I still hold the power.
 
Apollo has been accidentally banjected by the new WA Delegate, The Republic of Kentucky.
 
Because Apollo is there? Maybe he wants Asgard to award him something for giving them nations?
 
Still though. Seems like a bit of a random choice. Why give instructions for a specific region? That's more of a coordinated move than a shut down.

EDIT: I also appreciate the ties those in the region are making to NE. ZOMG GUIZE APOLLO IS A NASI!!
 
If Apollo was so uninterested in continuing Ainur, why not had it over to someone? It would mean installing a dictatorship and probably restoring the Monarchy to sort things out, but I think Ainur could be saved.
