Nate

Joining on January 2, 2020, **Nate** (also known as **"The Divider"**, **"The Separatist"**, **"The Defiant"**, and **"The Committed"**), was the fifth person to join the clan and one of The Republic’s longest tenured members. He formerly served on the Council of Elders and the Council of Co-Leaders, before he would leave The Republic on August 11, 2020. Nate would return to the clan on May 2nd of 2022 and remains on the clan to this day. He currently serves on the CoE.

## History

#### Early Republic

Nate first joined the clan on January 2, 2020. He joined just hours into the day and as soon as he did he was named to the Council of Elders since there was a spot open for him. Like Joseph, he was a veteran Clash player and the two had been on multiple clans together in the past. He served on the CoE until February 8, 2020, when enough people had joined to open up another spot on the Council of Co-Leaders. The election would end in a landslide victory for Nate despite low voter turnout. On February 9thhe joined the Council of Co-Leaders. Later, on March 2nd he would make the first big motion in the council when he proposed to kick some members who had been inactive for some time. Specifically he was speaking about SusanCZE and this would lead to her being kicked five days later. He also proposed a future plan to “to trim some fat off", cementing his early activity in kicking members.

In June of 2020 as mid-term elections neared, Nate announced he would be forgoing his spot as a Co-Leader and instead running for Elder. In the Elder Election in June 2020 he won 100% of the vote. He mentioned then that he believed strongly in kicking in-actives and was pro-imperialism for the future of the clan. He was one of The Republic’s most active members around this time, both in wars and in governance of the Clan. He voted yes to the Fair Voting Act in July of 2020.

#### Departure and True Republic

On August 11, 2020, discussion arose about Nate upgrading his town hall and whether or not he should be in upcoming wars due to TH matchups. He would announce his displeasure at the idea. Nate began even directing his argument towards The Constitution saying that the Co-Leaders had no explicit right to decide the members added to the war. Eventually he would leave the clan. He would go on to form his own clan in a desperate grasp for power and an attempt to rival The Republic. He would dub his clan "True Republic" and would set it up in an attempt to model The Republic, but many believed his was an autocratic government. A few of Nate’s allies would leave The Republic for his new clan. Kodakblack, ben, and mikeRob22 would join him in defecting. Nate would become known as "The Separatist" around this time.

#### Return and Co-Leadership

Nate would leave the True Republic and return to the clan on May 2, 2022. He would be welcomed back surprisingly favorably and quickly became one of the clan's most active members again. He would run for Co-Leader in the CoCL Election of June 2022. He would run on a platform of change and improvement and despite being universally seen as a dangerous figure just two years prior he was elected to the CoCL with 57.1% of the vote coming in third place behind Manolete and name.loading. Once elected he would go about enacting change. On July 7, 2022, he motioned the Committee Establishment Act of 2022, which passed both councils. Nate would apply to and join the Execution Committee and the Recruitment Committee.

Nate would next motion for Dereliction of Duty Act of 2022 on August 4, 2022, which would see some brief discussion, but not be moved forward. In the months following he would voice his displeasure with the inactivity in the clan, especially from those in positions of power. On August 28th Nate motioned to kick five members for inactivity. No Co-Leader would vote on this motion. Almost a month later on September 25th, he would kick the five people he motioned for as well as three others. A few days later on October 1st, he kicked gabriel and General Aurum which was met with distaste by Captain Magma and Chris. General Aurum would soon rejoin.

#### Resignation and Elder

Late in the year 2022, Mike, would begin campaigning a need for change within the clan. He would even go as far as claiming that a Co-Leader needed to be demoted. Before any demotion could take place, Nate would resign from his position on the council. He was the first person to ever resign from an office. He stated how he had taken office wanting to enact change, but was disappointed in how people just didn't vote. He hoped that Mike would have success and would back in the election that followed. Nate would run for elder in the election in December of that year. He would be elected winning over 80% of the vote. This would be his third non-consecutive term served on the Elder Council. He is still on serving this term today.

## Wars

Nate is one of the clan's most active war fighters. Prior to his departure in 2020, he was in forty out of forty-four wars that he possibly could have been in and he failed to attack only ten times. Usually placed in the top three to four, he is a consistent 3-5 stars per war.  Nate currently has over 550 war stars in his career.

## Voting Tendencies

Nate voted in all but one of the clan’s elections he was available for. From looking at his voting history he seemed to value activity above all else. He was also most likely one of the first people to vote in any election, which can cause others to follow his lead.
