Spikester

**Spikester** was the 4th Governor of Nightwork. He served from November 27, 2018 to February 22, 2020. He ran for Governor campaigning to put a quick end to the Underground conflicts occuring during that time and reverse MrPiggieMLG's damaging policies to Nightwork. He kept all his campaign promises and ended much of the Underground Wars's conflicts victoriously in a span of just two hours. However, this brief "victory" would only be proven counterintuitive as retaliation would occur. Conflict would roar back by December 2018.

Unlike his predecessors (YombiaX, 24DegreeZ, and MrPiggieMLG), Spikester became the first Nightwork Governor to have not been a founding member of Nightwork. This gave him more popularity, being seen as a populist figure. He would hold this distinction as the only one until Synjex, who succeeded his administration.

Spikester is one of the most prominent figures of authoritarianism. His administration has been described as having very large control over many aspects of Nightwork as well as having a very communitarian approach. His aims of going about leadership as well as his impulsive behavior make him one of the worst leaders to have affected the community. He currently has one of the most unpopular governor legacies, only slightly better than MrPiggieMLG's.

## Personality

*God Complex, God Complex, God Complex, God Complex, God Complex*

Spikester was known as a shrewd and quick-witted leader. He grew a reputation for making quick, decisive action. At the same time, Spikester has displayed **strong** impulsive tendencies.

While most of his decisions have been for the benefit of Nightwork, he has caused more damage instead. He has a short tolerance for opposition and does not hesitate to use force to shut down it down when it becomes a loud voice. Domestically, Spikester was ruthless and held almost no tolerance.

### Morals

Spikester is well-known to lack morality. He was dubbed "Chaotic Neutral" by the DJ22 NEWS. However, many people such as Aura were furious over typing Spikester on a moral alignment scale as it "glamorized a piece of shit of a human." Spikester's supporters were also enraged, as they believed Spikester to be Chaotic *Good*. On the other hand, others would type him as *Lawful* or *Neutral Evil* due to his authoritarianship.

Spikester did not care about those who called him out for being immoral or rude. However, anyone who called him out for being *wrong* would faced persecution.

## Early Service

In 2016, Spikester was drafted from Ninzardia to Nightwork by YombiaX to serve as an OPTI for the Second Faction.

In 2018, during the RSN War, Spikester proposed plans to wipe out the RSN to the current Governor of D2 at the time 24DegreeZ. 24DegreeZ rejected his plan and ignored him throughout the rest of the war. After its conclusion, Spikester revoked his opti-agent rank in opposition to 24DegreeZ.

During the build-up to the early stages of the Underground Wars, Spikester did not affiliate with the action. However, upon noticing the corruption of the new MrPiggieMLG Administration, Spikester regained interest. He became the first to introduce the idea of the impeachment of the governor. He contacted the Capital Administration of his proposal. His efforts were successful as the governor was later impeached.

On November 26, 2018, MrPiggieMLG was impeached. New candidates were immediately selected to run for the 4th Governor of Nightwork. In extreme desperation, four candidates were immediately chosen by the Capital: Claxagon, CloudMaster, Todd, and Spikester.

## Governor of Nightwork

On November 27, 2018, Spikester won the November 2018 Nightwork gubernatorial election, winning 35% of the vote.

In his first hour as Governor, he was widely unpopular and was only liked by a little over 25% of Nightwork (this percentage includes the opinions of members who did not vote). Another rebellion was formed by Claxagon with half of Nightwork but was heavily suppressed by Spikester and his followers. The new rebellion was forced to quickly disband after less than an hour of its forming.

Spikester then made plans for a surprise attack on Nightwork-Volley's leadership. When the remaining 40 Nightwork agents clustered for a surprise attack, that was the moment when Spikester had finally reunited the district. Finally, all of Nightwork worked as a team for one cause. In a matter of moments, Nightwork-Volley's rebellion was wiped out. Consequently, many Nightwork-Volley members left the community.

Through force, all of Nightwork was forced to follow his orders. Because of the extreme conflict at the time with the Rocket Squad Nation, District 2 had no other choice but to make an attack. At this point, Spikester had reunited the entire Nightwork back. All of Nightwork, all of the new agents, all the rebellions all for one reason. Nightwork was finally reunited. In under an hour, all of the new rebuilding RSN platforms were abolished, putting an end to the first phase of the war.

Immediately after the victory, Spikester's approval ratings drastically improved.

Spikester's popularity heavily declined after Graveyard Month. He was eventually dismissed and succeeded by Synjex.

### 2019 anti-recruitment policy

In 2019, a sudden influx of members joined the Nightwork community. Spikester closed any invitations and pressured the Capital Administration to form the new district of Solarburst to house the new members. Spikester had been a fan of large numbers but not all within his control. The population of Nightwork had quickly gone above 120 members by February 2019.

### Purging

From February to September 2019, Spikester frequently purged members he saw as "worthless" or "inactive." This helped build the district's strength and effectiveness. However, it was seen as an abusive action by the administration.

### Post-War

Spikester shaped Nightwork back to its glory. All of the mistakes of the former Governor were completely fixed (not). Nightwork had lost many of its members and resulted in just 40 agents in Nightwork. By the end of 2018, there were 75 agents in Nightwork.

The old Deputy Governor, Ablazen was dismissed from his position and was replaced with Avletro, who admired Spikester greatly and was very loyal towards him.

### Era of Progression

Spikester began making progressive actions at the beginning of May of 2019. He began to strengthen the Nightwork force and formed a stronger administration with much harder enforcement. This restored his popularity within his own district.

### Spikester 4D Chess conspiracy theory

Some people believe that Spikester had planned the entirety of the Underground Wars in order for the Capital Administration and the entire community to have to depend on him. People have claimed that he obviously knew of the retaliation that the community would face but decided to provoke groups regardless as this would create a common enemy for the community. The theory also states that if the situation would become dangerous for the entire community, then everyone would feel even more dependent on him and seek to him for help, hence, making Zap unable to dismiss him of any instituions of government to impach him. He would made sure his approval ratings were stable and would manipulate Zap into endorsing him.
