<blockquote>"Rest easy aqua... on the big eyesore-bridge in the sky." - GoatWhisperer after banning aquascissors</blockquote>
Aquascissors ([[Banned players|banned]]) was a citizen of [[Montrose]] (originally) and later, [[HUM]], who was essentially only interested in building massive, egregious, floating cobblestone roads connecting all parts of the map together - with or without the consent of the countries that owned the places in question. He is one of the only people banned for lack of understanding, rather than a moral failing. He is the namesake for the [[Aquascissors Memorial Governance Building]], commonly called the "HUM Skyscraper".

=== The Roads
On December 12th,
Having drawn condemnation from FlyingGMM for his troubles, aquascissors defected to [[HUM]] that same day. HUM's Chairman, [[GoatWhisperer]], welcomed

▲Aquascissors’ roads, though beginning in HUM, began to stretch south to the unclaimed [[Heaven Island]] and then-Icedale-owned [[List Of Names for The Island North of Rhett|Dwarf Island]], as well as a planned route to the fiercely isolationist state of [[Rhett]]... with the active nonconsent of the parties involved. The international community (HUM included) condemned these roads (which were simply 2-block-wide cobblestone paths suspended above the ocean), and tried to make aquascissors stop, mainly due to the fact that he was making egregious violations of sovereignty in doing so.
Aquascissors refused to back down or even show that he understood the concept of sovereignty (in an OOC sense), and was banned on December 22nd. Although controversial to begin with, as no one had been banned before for simply not understanding the point of the server, the ban was justified with a few schools of thought:
# Anyone who joins the server should at least understand the political roleplay and the concepts at work to some degree, else they can't really participate in RP and would thus treat the server as any other server (as
# Aquascissors' lack of any
Many of aquascissors' construction projects remain in the world to this day. Some roads in [[HUM Proper]] are the very ones laid down by the ill-fated infrastructuralist, and his landscaping initiatives in the state set the template for future endeavors by the Hummites to tame their wild land.
Line 21 ⟶ 24:
In an OOC sense, aquascissors is responsible for several changes to server management. His actions brought to the forefront the issue of unrealistic structures and led to the addition of Rule #8 (no unrealistic/floating structures) to address future issues, setting the stage for future events such as [[Dronesicles]]. He also led to an important clarification question to the effect of "are you familiar with the political nature of this server?" being included in the vetting process to ensure players understood the purpose of the server as a political RP platform before allowing them to join.
