The 2019 East Pacific Coup Attempt was a coup d'état attempt committed by Delegate Fedele.

On October 14, during the delegate transition from Fedele to Delegate-Elect Marrabuk, Fedele banjected Marrabuk and Vizier Bachtendekuppen and Funkadelia ejected Vizier Todd McCloud. Due to influence issues, Fedele was unable to banject Vizier Aelitia and simply ejected him instead. Aelitia returned to TEP before updating and Bachtendekuppen update surfed, both managing to avoid losing their endorsements to the update. Todd McCliud didn't update surf and lost his endorsements.

Mismanagement on the part of the cabal allowed Aelitia to overtake Fedele in endorsements, gaining the Delegacy and retaking control of TEP on the major update of the 15th of October.

Prelude

No one knows when or why the Cabal (and, in the early stages of the coup, Tim) decided to coup the East Pacific. While plausible theories exist, the fact is that no one besides the Cabal truly knows why.

The most plausible reason is this. TEP in 2016 and before was inactive. Aelitia's removal from the Delegacy by the Viziers resulted in him having to go through a legal challenge to get reinstated. An inactive region would allow the Cabal to quickly assume positions of power just by being active and, because the region is inactive, very few people will bother paying attention to what they do. Aelitia Delegacy being seized eroded trust in the government and gave the Cabal a window of opportunity to begin.

Fedele has hinted at the involvement of other people as well and while this is likely, we don't know who was involved and the extent of their involvement.

Beginnings

Tim had been in TEP since 2013. He was a former Citizen and former Magister who resigned from the Magusterium in 2014 and went inactive after that because of time commitments due to being a Pharoah of Osiris.

Aleister and Fedele both joined TEP in 2016 within a month of each other. Aleister introduced himself and went inactive after that, becoming active again in 2019. Whereas Fedele became involved in discussions of raising activity. His suggestions included ejecting nations that didn't contribute to TEP, saying that the Delegate ought to play the villain, and calling the government an oligarchy.
