All's fun in Love and War - Leonidas huh

### Prologue

Leonidas huh is a ATC User who, from 30th January 2021 to February 13th 2021, then again from 27th April 2021 to 28th April 2021 and finally from 9th October 2021 to the present has been a political figure and twice Premier of the ATC. Since the 28th April 2021, Leonidas huh had been exiled from the ATC after the breakdown of the Reconciliation Government. Leonidas huh, after his exile, became a vilified figure within the community, however, Leonidas huh returns after nearly half a year to set the record straight in his new opinion piece 'All's fun in Love and War'.

### Part 1: Waterloo

When I was approached by AlphaBeta to join the ATC back in January 2021, I was not expecting much, AlphaBeta seemed (and is) like a little kid who wasn't gonna shock anyone. My expectations was ATC being just 4 pages on a fandom wiki left inactive because the owner got bored. Boy was I wrong. Already by January 2021 there had been around a year of activity on the ATC wiki. I was bored and from seeing that a election had just happened, I decided that I wanted a legacy. I got one, you could say that, but not exactly the one I was expecting. My first work on ATC came in February when I wrote 'What if Napoleon Won at Waterloo'. This project however was neglected by myself as I was soon given responsibility over the ATC Universe by AlphaBeta. You see, the 2021 Presidential Election I mentioned was won by Finolian, who, through manipulating a 11 year old (AlphaBeta) would exile him from the platform. AlphaBeta as you will know was the Owner of ATC at this time. He also created the ATC Universe, but due to him being blocked from the wiki, he was unable to edit it, so I was given the job of updating it.

### Part 2: April Revolution

Over February and March 2021, popular discontent towards the then President Finolian had been growing. One of the major organisations of this discontent would be created by myself, that being the Popular Revolutionary Leonidasian Party (PRLP). However, the ATC Elites, Finolian and his mods had threatened to take down 'What if Napoleon Won at Waterloo?' and so in retaliation of this overbearing government control I left. In the 2 weeks I was gone the Wiki started to spiral into instability. On April 7th 2021, AlphaBeta would return to the ATC, evading President Finolian's ban, which AlphaBeta had been manipulated into agreeing to. A poll would show that AlphaBeta's return was supported by the majority of the community. During the night of the 7th, AlphaBeta and other PRLP members begged me to return to help lead the a revolution against the "tsar-president", and I agreed. On 9th April 2021, I, Freecoder (Now ACheeseyNameHere) and AlphaBeta overthrew Finolian with the help of Liuian.

### Part 3: Presidency of the Wiki

Now the tyrant had gone, I set out on a mission to try unify the wiki and stop another dictatorship from forming. Political groups had gave rise to the Finolian Dictatorship and eliminating them was the only way that peaceful coexistence could be guaranteed. However, pro-finolians and communists had been working in the shadows ever since resentment arouse against Finolian to undermine and stop peace returning to the Wiki. A policy which in one form or another still has support to this day is the banning of political parties. The ATC Jacobin Club, a pro-finolian communist group opposed the ban on political parties, a ban I wanted to instigate to keep the peace in the wiki.

### Part 4: "Leo Conflict"

AlphaBeta, as shown with Finolian and with the Communists later on, is very easily influenced and the communist leader "Patriot" was able to manipulate AlphaBeta to remove me from office, in his own power grab. AlphaBeta would later apologize for his illegal removal of me from the Presidency. However, this "Leo Conflict" would result in my removal either way. In retaliation to this backstabbing and betrayal by my former pro-alpha allies, I vandalized a few pages. Not the right thing to do, but I was disappointed by how the wiki could so easily be brainwashed by our enemies.

### Part 5: Exile

I became inactive for another 2 weeks after i was backstabbed and overthrown. In that time, the whole wiki once again collapsed into anarchy, culminating in the 2nd ATC Civil War. I was once against begged to come back.

### Part 6: Premier of the Wiki

"4/28" as they called it was the day I was restored to the position of President, which I abolished and recreated into Premier. I was once again asked to restore peace and order. Once again, certain individuals, many of them were involved in originally overthrowing me, started to squabble. After the multiple wars the wiki faced on the 28th April, I decided that the only way that the wiki could be saved was a purge of those who were creating division and violence. This obviously was highly controversial, and both the ATC Elite and Communists once again removed me from power, this time for the last time. The party I had planned to use as a vehicle of peace and democracy was RECONSILIATION - Party for Unity and Democracy , the plan being that the ban of parties and (eventually) individuals could be followed by trials where those who had caused the chaos of the wiki would face justice, then normal wiki activity could resume with the government taking a backseat. This was not to be and I was banned for 1 year, of which I served half the sentence.

### Part 7: ATC 2 Electric Boogaloo

Around a week after my near-permanent ban from the wiki, I would be approached once again by a user (who's name i will keep secret to stop them being accused of treason). And a idea of restarting ATC under new and peaceful management would be discussed, however these plans fell through as my interest in ATC as a whole dwindled.

### Summary

My time on the ATC Wiki was one filled with drama and controversy. In fact after my 2nd and final overthrow, I was demonized by the whole community as more evil then Finolian. Whether they are right or not is up to you. But I had a lot of fun with the community and my return to the ATC now shows this. Thank you all for making this community what it is.

## Future Works

Leonidas\_huh was permabanned from the ATC in December 2022, despite no clear reason being given for this, possibly an abuse of power. In February 2023, Leonidas\_huh, ever the historiographer, announced he would begin work on 'Waterloo - How things could have gone differently', a piece of speculative fiction on what if his two attempts at governance had succeeded in their aims, the name of said book being a play on his original alternate history on the ATC 'What if Napoleon won at Waterloo'.

He hope's to not be banned on the ATCP and be allowed to produce this new work for the enjoyment of those interested (which is probably only a few people lol).
