Arbiter Peppercorn has been in power of Peppercorn Nation for over a quarter century now - despite the official recognition of the country not coming in to place until recently (it is hard to reach the national bank account quota of $3 at a constant unemployment rate of 100%).

Peppercorn has grown up playing video games. His passion began with consoles, but quickly shifted to online gaming on the PC in an effort to seek out competitive challenges. The first introduction to a truly MMO style platform came in the form Subspace, an online space shooter in 1996. Eating up approximately 40 hours a week, both Peppercorn and his squad Blue Planet would fight on the bi-weekly leaderboards and regularly end up either first or second overall out of thousands of players.

Peppercorn would go on to play Dark Age of Camelot, Everquest 2, City of Villains, World of Warcraft, Lineage 2, RF Online, EVE Online, Ragnarok Online, and just about any other MMORPG he could get his hands on, bringing with him a close knit crew of online gamers commonly referred to as the “KoS Crew” by jealous followers (or simply by people that remember their large guild called KoS from DAOC, depending on your viewpoint).

In managing his group of gamers, he also found himself writing in depth posts, which were in essence sales pitches, of new games, new consoles, and new forms of entertainment that both he and his friends could enjoy (and by enjoy we mean play competitively, and of course by play competitively we mean win).

Peppercorn managed to land the leadership role of Peppercorn Nation by winning an intensely competitive political campaign with the slogan of “I’ll make a post on teh blog when i’m bored I guess… but no commitments”. Voters were able to look passed the obvious typos in the campaign slogan as unfortunately for them, he was the only name on the ballot and therefore won by default.
