24DegreeZ

**Jason Landon Kim** (born March 13, 2002), known in Ninzard League ~~as a pathological liar~~ **24DegreeZ**, was the second Governor of Nightwork who led the 24DegreeZ Administration from December 24, 2016, to October 23, 2018. He was one of the Founding Four of Nightwork. Prior to being elected governor, he served as the Deputy Governor of Nightwork under the YombiaX Administration from April 25, 2014, to December 23, 2016.

During the tenure of the 24DegreeZ Administration, Nightwork oversaw the 2016–17 RSN conflict, the Golden Era, and the RSN War. 24DegreeZ is highly praised for leadership during the early periods of his administration. However, he is frequently criticized for his action during the late stages of his administration, where he failed to act accordingly during the RSN War and acted impulsively as governor. Much of the final ten months of his governorship was marked by protests.

24DegreeZ served as the very first Deputy Governor of Nightwork from April 25, 2014, to December 23, 2016. During this period, he oversaw many significant early events.

### Founding of Nightwork

The Nightwork community was created on April 25, 2014. 24DegreeZ was one of the four founding members of Nightwork, the other three beings YombiaX, Claxagon, and MrPiggieMLG. Prior to founding Nightwork, the four had been good friends and had been interested in building an army-like friend group. The name "Nightwork" was chosen because the friends enjoyed spending time during the night.

### Nightwork War

On October 6, 2014, the community became involved in the Nightwork War. The war had been against the multi-platform community, Ninzard League, known simply as the TMA at the time. The war caused a long-term conflict between both parties, which both exchanged occasional raids and attacks against each other. However, on July 1, 2015, the Ninzard League had begun a detrimental series of planned attacks, which ultimately created devastating effects for the Nightwork community. The attacks continued to July 4, when Nightwork surrendered unconditionally.

### League Day

24DegreeZ began talks to merge the community with the TMA as most of Nightwork had lost trust in their own community. Some had even planned to move into the ninzard community. On July 11, 2015, the Nightwork community merged with the TMA, separating the community into two big factions: the First Faction and the Second Faction.

### Community division

The Ninzard Civil War severely divided the community. The YombiaX Administration had new tasks of reunifying the divided community. 24DegreeZ helped initiate multiple steps of the Reunification Plan in efforts to reunite the community.

## Governor of Nightwork (2016–2018)

At the start of the 24DegreeZ Administration, 24DegreeZ was very popular. However, he faced minor rebellion among the small Nightwork factions, which were hunted down by Xudex's Dark Force Agency.

24DegreeZ supported all means of progression and development. He helped ninzard content creators make their intros and gave them editing tips. He was generally considered to be a very kind-hearted. Although, he was decisive when it was needed.

Throughout the middle to the end of 2017, 24DegreeZ's relations with the DFA were not good. In fact, the First Lady at the time, Czulia, had even told the Governor lies about the DFA so he could take misunderstood action against them. This caused conflict between the DFA Director Xudex and 24DegreeZ.

At the start of the RSN War, 24DegreeZ quickly organized the battalions and immediately prepared to combat against the RSN community. However, near the end of the war, most ninzards had believed the war had been carried on for too long and that 24DegreeZ failed to perfectly wipe them out. The reminiscence of what 24DegreeZ had left behind would eventually spark into the Underground Wars.

Nearing the end of 24DegreeZ's administration, he was widely unpopular. On October 22, First Lady Czulia dumped the Governor. Subsequently, the next day, 24DegreeZ resigned from his position. As a result, the October 2018 Nightwork gubernatorial election ensued.

Due to complications with his personal life, he resigned on October 23, 2018.

### Domestic policy

24DegreeZ's domestic policy is often not seen as consistent. His policies from 2016-17 contrast heavily from his policies in 2018.

From 2016-17, 24DegreeZ's domestic policy revolved around minimal enforcement, providing more freedoms for the people of the Nightwork community. These policies were criticized by General Claxagon as well as many other neoexpansionists. 24DegreeZ remained very popular throughout 2017, winning the March and October 2017 Nightwork gubernatorial election without much effort.

Unlike Netterix and Holiday, 24DegreeZ held a relatively friendly stance towards the First Faction. He supported steps towards reaching full community unification. However, he was very often bashed by Governor Netterix, who accused 24DegreeZ of trying to take over the First Faction. Ironically, Celestials bashed 24DegreeZ for letting the First Faction feed off of Nightwork.

### Golden Age

The first-half of DegreeZ's administration was marked by strong community growth and development, otherwise known as the Golden Era. Much of the prosperity, however, had shifted their reliance towards Gold Road Theater, a multi-platform community built upon parties, events, and bringing people together. Due to this, the downfall of Gold Road Theater would drastically impact the administration.

Sure enough, in late January of 2018, hope for the Gold Road Theater disappeared after the death of Austiny and then Holiday exactly one week later. In desperation, DegreeZ attempted to cover-up their deaths. Immediately, he assigned Chum as the organization's new president. However, after an investigation had been launched under the orders of Prosecution Director Xcyzia and DFA Director Xudex, the news of their deaths unveiled on February 10, 2018.

### RSN War

After engagements throughout June with the President of Rocket Squad Nation, B205, many predicted the brewing of a war. From April to June, The RSN had consistently sent countless threats directed towards the leaders of the community, including 24DegreeZ. On June 30, the RSN attempted to raid the Nightwork community, to which 24DegreeZ declared "the war in which they awakened the sleeping giant."

24DegreeZ had already plotted against the RSN community long before the first raid. He had used Deputy Governor MadMagician to spy out the RSN camp. On June 8, 24DegreeZ announced to his district that the MadMagician had betrayed the community, as a tactic to rile the community together to right the RSN. 24DegreeZ waited eagerly for an RSN attack against the community as he could use such an opportunity to declare war.

By July, pretty much the entire community had become fully involved in the war. 24DegreeZ had even attempted to garner Ground involvement. This had, however, come at the sacrifice of community projects and developments.

By the end of the war, all of 24DegreeZ hidden intended plans had become revealed. As a result, the protests against him only worsened as his popularity continued to plummet.

### Resignation

Just like his predecessor, YombiaX, 24DegreeZ decided to reign from the NUA in late October of 2018. He left because of the controllable insane drama of the entire NUA community. At this point in time, he wasn't very liked.

It wasn't just the drama that caused 24DegreeZ to resign, it was also his emotional difficulties he had been having. Many things had given him stress and running Nightwork was one of them.

Many speculate that the main cause of his resignation is due to the ending of 24DegreeZ's relationship with First Lady Czulia.
