I eat lunch at a little North African joint called al-Kawthar about twice a week. I like the food, so I had already been eating there a lot, but they play al Jazeera on the TV so since the protests I've been eating there a lot more ot catch the news. It's never very busy (I actually think they're in pretty dire straits) so it's usually just me and the cook sitting in the lobby watching TV while I eat.
Today they were showing a lot of coverage of Libya and also a bit of protests in Aman, Jor
I started my nation in Feb 07 when I saw the link on Fark.com. Irony tag assplodes by the time this blog is over.
I didn't read the Fark thread about the link, though, so I wasn't really aware that there was a Fark alliance or that they were in the deathgrip of a war with GOONS. In fact, I wasn't really aware of any alliances; I knew there were alliances, but I didn't see any reason to join one, I just collected taxes every day. I never got techraided because I never bought tech--why buy som
We both knew better. I have rearranged your post to organize it by topic.
You made some rather dashing personal attacks, but you can't demonstrate them and they don't merit response. But this is the part of your post that I most wanted to address.
I myself am always amused by the people who level attacks that boil down to Schattenmann is a lunatic has-been who is sad, and Cult of Justitia is a bunch of idiots that Schattenmann has hoodwinked into worshiping him. The insult is oxymoronic to
In the past week, I have received [several] PMs and queries from individuals. These individuals all say the same thing: That they are ready to (or have already) joined the reformed Vox Populi, and in doing so they were directed to contact any of the 5 Senators contemporary to the suspension of Vox Populi's charter.
This concerns me chiefly because it represents a security threat to each of these individuals, and most likely to many others unknown to me, in that the 5 last Senators of Vox Popul
It's safe to assume that if you read the OWRP, Alliance Politics, or World Affairs forums, you know I hate the Viridian Entente. But, people have varying levels of lives, so for those of you who didn't, now you do. I hate VE. VE makes my skin crawl.
One of the main reasons that I hate VE is that Viridians have their heads wayyyy up their own butts. This week--like every week in which a Viridian posts--I ran across yet another infuriating instance, and to avoid derailing a commemorative thre
Hm, it's been so long since I wrote a blog that for a minute I was unsure if I picked "Schattenmann's Disused Blog" as a subtitle, or if the forum knows. I guess I knew myself pretty well to have picked that. On to it.
There it is. The image that made Monday more than the crummy first day of the week. The header that helped reshape the world; my own small contribution. The image thousands anticipated every week, and for everyone that read it transformed me from a scrappy troll to
OsRavan has suddenly and inexplicably started claiming that it is CoJ which has rejected peace, not ODN who has refused it, in flat contradiction to all reality. Because some people are not as smart as others, rather than depend on everyone to understand that Os just now started making this claim after taking a public punch on the nose and it's fishy, I will provide here for you all the exact terms which OsRavan proposed himself, and which CoJ accepted.

Heh.
Welcome to the sacrificial altar, NEW.
As you ponder where the Hell your MDoAP partners are, I shall endeavour to be your guide. Just look around the crowd. They're all bloodthirsty, but here is how to figure out which ones are your allies: They're the ones with ceremonial daggers. They're here to spill your blood upon the altar of their politics. A treaty is not a treaty, not now. Now, a treaty is a bobble. Unfortunately for you, PC has finally clawed its way out of obscurity
Dear everyone,
Please look up the word sovereignty in a dictionary before attempting to talk to me about sovereignty.
That is all.
Thank you.
PS. If you feel OWF discussion about politics is interfering with your ability to control your own alliance, then you have bigger problems than the OWF.
<Schattenmann> So, I'm sitting here at 8:35 on Easter Sunday procrastinating an Economics essay that's due by 11:55 PM
<Subtleknifewielder> uh oh...

Be warned: The links in this blog discuss nudity and have photos of a man in his underwear.
So, today I accidentally went into battle against a famous internet idiot when I didn't realize he was actually Facebook friends with the person whose status I was commenting on.
In case you're unfamiliar, Brian Zulberti emailed the entire Delaware Bar Association with a cocky, stupid email looking for a job. Attached to the email was a photo of himself showing off his arm muscles.

While kingzog's Zog Blog has been chronicling his frustrated (and -ing) efforts to create a new super-duper, lightening-fast, liquid-cooled, impossibly-small 1337 computer, here in Schloss Eggenberg I have just spent the last couple hours on this baby:

The Schattenmann Fanclub's Founder/President Prototyoe Ruler has been away for several years, and I'm kind of shy, so the club hasn't been doing much. However, I think it is important to recognize a dedicated fan who has, for the past 2 years, made his devotion to me known more conspicuously than any other fawning fan on the planet.
I speak, of course, of none other than Crymson. Through his years of unwavering dedication to steering every conversation towards Schattenmann rather than the top
This post is best experienced while listening to:
Your summary gives a half-treatment to the issues.
NPO didn't just "adopt" responsibility for the coalition, they were responsible for the war; they organized it for like 4 months prior. Then they did the exact opposite of take responsibility: They announced that they weren't anyone's boss. Then Brehon disappeared.
NPO is not simply some passive object "example of the conflicts of interest." NPO actively schemed with its Umbrella-aligned
If you've read the last 10 pages of the "GOON spy orders" thread in World Affairs, then you know that GOONS asked Red Dawn to sanction Methrage and/or Nicholai on September 5, and that on September 6 NPO and CoJ (the two senate-holders from Red Dawn) agreed that Methrage is not a rogue and would not be sanctioned as such. You also know that GOONS asked NPO to sanction Methrage again on September 23 and was denied again, and in that discussion NPO noted that GOONS has a lot of nerve asking Red D
For about the fourth time since 9:15 this morning I've read "we have never imposed viceroys" or "you can't talk, you used viceroys."
For visual effect, I quote Azaghul, but he's not alone, he just happens to be the random 7th person to say it:

A week or so ago Triyun wrote the blog "The Post Karma Lie of Multi-Polarity." You may have missed it. Like all serious blogs are (as will this one) it was quickly knocked out of sight by the daily swarm of "I'm gay look at me," "What I had for dinner," and "My favorite band" blogs. Ah, well.
I didn't completely agree with the argument as laid out, though the thesis was correct. The idea that there is more than one power pole is a lie. And tonight, with C&G's magnificent acrobatics to
I'm looking for a drink
In 2005, I was in Moscow, and we went to this restaurant called Myu Myu; it was like a Russian Golden Coral, buffet, big fiberglass cow on top of the roof.
I accidentally picked up the translator's glass and drank his drink, and he gave me a weird look, like he was expecting something. I asked what it was and he said it was kvass and apologized. I said what for, it was really good, which amazed him.
Now: The drink at Myu Myu was thick, pink-ish, kind of sweet, and a

I created it when I was a wee goonlet in the Summer of 2007 and actually had no clue who Ivan Moldavi was. So anyway, I logged in today and had 26 hanging friend requests on top of the dozens of others I've already approved over the last 3 years. Hellooooooo, Bilrow.
Ivan Moldavi is not your friend; I am. I'm a better friend, anyway. hurfdurf, lulz, and such. Also:
