57billy was the leader of [[West Mersa]] at the election time, making him popular across the towns of [[Mersa]], one of the larger towns and communities in [[Nubia]]. He also later provided funding to Suna and a few other towns, with claims of it being upwards of 400g before the elections had even started. This had both negative and positive responses, with some saying he bribed people and others saying it was simply a donation. | 57billy was the leader of [[West Mersa]] at the election time, making him popular across the towns of [[Mersa]], one of the larger towns and communities in [[Nubia]].
