The XYZ Affair was the delegate of the South Pacific for a short period in June 2003.

She was a member of the Atlantic Central Command and had been present and endo-swapping in the South Pacific for some time in June 2003 [1]. In mid-June, a game glitch caused Goddessness to lose over 400 endorsements, and The XYZ Affair became the new delegate on or before 13 June[2][3], causing a suspension of the planned elections. Site administrators were alerted but took no action[4].

The XYZ Affair ejected many nations, including previous delegate Goddessness, for several days[5]. On 18 June[6], a South Pacifican resistance pushed The Fathoms Below into the delegacy. This resistance included future delegates LadyRebels[7] and Tsunamy[8], with support from other regions including the West Pacific[9]. The Fathoms Below was inactive for several days before again ejecting nations[10], claiming to be hacked and under the control of the XYZ Affair[11] [12]; though some suspected The Fathoms Below retained control and used The XYZ as a scapegoat[13].

The XYZ Affair was ejected from the South Pacific by The Fathoms Below[14]. The nation was last active onsite on 18 June 2003. Accounts vary on whether she was banned from the game [15] or if she simply went inactive.
