Anti-expansion policy of Antares

The **anti-expansion policy of Antares** were steps taken by Governor Antares to prevent the expansion of the community. Antares's spoken motive for the policy was to "preserve" the environment of Ninzardia and not transform it into a "mass crowd akin to a country or a military." In reality, the main motive behind this policy was due to Antares's developed lack of trust following the Hybridex Deal and the pardoning of Alaric and Orion1. Antares also wanted to preserve the gaming skill of each members. He wanted to limit who could join as to prevent "the unqualified" from joining the community.

The beginning of 2013 began with attempts by Neptunity to recruit new members to the community, only to be constantly blocked by Antares, no matter the qualifications (good gamers) of the members to let them join. This policy was directly in clash with Neptunity, who wanted to open their community to allow for more members to join. This constant clashing eventually led to Castler resigning as Neptunity's leader and leaving Ninzardia on March 10, 2013. Many members of Neptunity followed in his direction while some stayed to secretly help Castler spy and sabotage the community.

## Conflict with Neptunity

At some point in January, Antares banned OG Dungeon World and founding Neptunity member Jayce because "he sucked" at video games. This became the trigger to Castler's big conflicts with the governor.

Castler left the community on March 10, 2013, following Neptunity's outrage over the Galaxia scandal.

After leaving, Antares began to insult Castler. After becoming informed of this by his spies, Castler decided to sabotage Core Wizardry to spite Antares. On March 12, 2012, Castler, who had access to Xbox 360 accounts of members of Core Wizardry, deleted various game files from their accounts. Followers of Castler also unsuccessfully attempt to "hack" Antares's personal accounts. Antares's house was also doxed by Castler, who came by his place to taunt him.

### Brief cessation of policy

On March 9, 2013, after the Galaxia scandal spread throughout the community, Antares briefly ceased his anti-expansion policy as to appease Neptunity and calm them down. Although he had no intention of remaining on good terms with Castler, he wanted Neptunity to at least not form a hostile attitude towards Antares. However, this action did not work in his favor and ultimately, following Castler's resignation as leader of Galaxia, Antares immediately resumed the policy the next day (March 10).

### DNW War

*Main article: DNW War*
On the afternoon of March 12, 2013, Castler and Jayce had an encounter with Zap, Xorbit, 7oRbY, and CloudMaster in real life. CloudMaster had begun insulting Castler over his actions and called him "a pussy" which enraged Castler, who responded by cursing. This resulted in a heated exchange between both parties until Castler had thrown a pile of gravel at the opposing party. This escalated into a full blown physical exchange of hurling gravel and stones at one another. Note that both parties were all children in 2013.

## End of policy

Antares's strong anti-expansion policy was halted by the 1st Ninzard Senate at the end of the DNW War, where the community became open to defectors of the DNW community to join Ninzardia. This annoyed Antares, but had to comply to the democratic process of the senate's demands.

## Legacy

*See also: Legionism*
The Antares Administration's policy of anti-expansion was the very first demonstrate of legionism in action. It would serve as a fundamental example of "protection." This policy was also what would be the trigger of the protection versus expansion debate. This specific approach in particular, serves as a strong example of radical legionism.
