Mikeswill from the Perspective of The Bruce

Mikeswill is certainly a controversial figure in NationStates, even more so when he was formerly known as Mikes Hope (before being deleted by the Mods in 2004 for crossing the line). During the rapid growth of his region, soon after its inception, he was a very aggressive recruiter and this rubbed a few people the wrong way. More than a few people thought the choice of name for his region to be a bit presumptuous. He got into arguments with some of these people and like a few other of NationStates’ more passionate personalities got caught going a bit too far.

He came back to NationStates and his region as Mikeswill, where he’s had a strong influence since and has put in a lot of work to make his region thrive. In many ways he’s been similar to Tito of Yugoslavia, carrying out careful diplomacy with invaders to safeguard against them, due to the founderless status of the region of NationStates. Sometimes the extent of his diplomacy with invaders has even caused him to be viewed with suspicion. A lot of people really don’t know what to make of him or his region because of this balancing act he’s carried out over the years.

In what little contact I’ve had with him over the years, he’s been nothing but helpful and polite. I would certainly like to see him commended on the basis of being an important personality of the game and for the work he’s done to make his region a long-term fixture in the NationStates World.
