This afternoon, I noticed that a month ago I was asked what I thought about the Polaris-NG treaty. Yes, a month, I love you all, but I just don't care too much, anymore. I read my answer at Polaris' forum, and decided that it is sufficiently interesting to me that I know everyone else will be thrilled to read it. You're quite welcome. In all seriousness, even though the treaty itself is old news, the question became a platform to discuss philosophy, and I love talking foreign policy. I understand you're reducing your big FA moment down to a gotcha on me, but here's the serious answer. We will examine my opinion on Polaris' FA decision through the philosophy I have always used in regards to FA, illuminated by personal example. My opinion springs from my ideology, and ideology guides my actions, it all fits. My thoughts/philosophy on treaties in general should be well known enough, by now, (1, 2, 3) but I am keenly aware that my personality has overshadowed my message for a long time. So to recap, in short: First: A treaty is an endorsement, and a partnership, and it ties responsibility for one AA's actions to the other. For example, New Polar Order in 2007 can't PZI 20 people a year without being shored up by 3 or 4 different blocs, or NPO in 2008 can't keep GATO at war indefinitely for using peace mode without having 16 top flight AAs backing them up. Lip service does not change culpability. For example, if OsRavan says "I'm totally against reps" 500 times a day, then sits down in peace talks and says to Cult of Justitia "you will have no peace with ODN until you agree to pay GOONS $200,000,000" and to Legion "you will not have peace until you pay our allies $1 Billion" then what matters? The principles ODN says they hold, or the actions ODN takes? There can be no denying that a treaty is an endorsement and a partnership. Any such denial is intellectual dishonesty at best and in reality is simply a lie politicians tell each other, themselves, and the people in their AAs. Second: Alliances are organic entities. They are not static, they change. Recognition of that fact in foreign affairs and public discourse has always been central to my political stances. For example, Vox Populi was a reactionary popular movement against the Continuum bloc's "hegemony" (I never really liked that word, but that's the parlance)—not because a hegemony existed, but because of how it acted: Viceroys, people banned from being gov, ZI transforming from a harsh punishment to PZI lists as eternal black lists that removed people from the game and then to EZI (parlance again, EZI is just PZI), forced disbandment, OOC attacks by the hegemony against their enemies, and so on. New Pacific Order and New Polar Order were central to that. It was a feedback loop: they did harsh crap by the endorsement of their allies, but their allies often did worse things while NPO/NpO pretended to be more civilized villains—they were all responsible for the results of their power politics, the results of their power politics were the point of their treaties. In 2007-08 New Polar Order wrecked my AA GOONS (which was a vile AA and I was too new to the game to really know it), then spent a year chasing all of us around, PZIing us, threatening alliances we joined, setting up proxy blocs on Black to dominate the Senate, and everything else in the history books. Post-Vox, as the leader of CoJ I penned blistering attacks on New Polar Order. Yet here I am, member of New Polar Order. Because I'm a hypocrite? No, because between the time Polaris PZIed me to the end of Karma, Polaris changed wildly. And then from the time I founded CoJ and wrote that essay to the time I allied CoJ to Polaris and then dissolved CoJ and joined Polaris, Polaris had undergone even more transformations. Therefore: Treaties and military cooperation are endorsement and culpability; therefore, alliances should choose allies whose actions align with their character and ideals, or accept the hypocrisy that their actions are at odds with their identity and move on. (Realpolitik is just that, the allegiance to a distasteful ally to get a hard job done.) But the prospective allies out their, alliances, are not beholden to the past. There is no inherent hypocrisy in allying an alliance that wasn't in line with one's ideals 5 years ago or even 5 weeks ago for that matter if they have changed. There is no hypocrisy in recognizing change. People make lazy ad hominem arguments, obsess about my over-the-top persona and ego, and simply label any shifting allegiance I make as "hypocrisy" or selling out. These processes are a complicated ideological discernment and judgement. Politics from ideology is complicated, people don't like it, they don't like to wade through it. What do I think about this treaty in particular? I haven't paid any attention at all to Planet Bob in at least a year. I've been quiet because I hate retractions; I don't post unless I know. It's fun to stick my head out and rip on OsRavan once a year, but it's also simply the case that the past is just about the only topic I'm informed to speak on intelligently. I don't know if this treaty is realpolitik, or if Non Grata has become significantly different to a degree that you're a perfect fit for Polaris. Or maybe Polaris has changed sufficiently that we're a perfect fit for an unchanged Non Grata (in which case I'll start AA shopping :P ) A dear old friend left Polaris because of this treaty, I respect his discernment and principled stance for his own nation. If there is a meeting of minds between NG and Polaris, I'm glad we're working together. If Polaris and NG are engaged in realpolitik, that's a reality an idealist like me has to swallow sometimes to get things done (I always was a chaos agent with a conscience, myself)—my problem would be if Polaris lent its NS to seriously bad behavior, or if Polaris shifted what should be a short-term cooperation (realpolitik) into a long term FA position (hypocrisy). I said "in short" so there you have it, Schattenmann is a liar.

Good afternoon. This weekend marked the ninth year since the founding of Schloss Eggenberg on Digiterra, the tiny Alpine domain which hides the Schattenmann, its enigmatic and long-lived protector, body-swapping observer of time. Over the past nine years, my star on Planet Bob has pulsated, burning high when passions rose, and dimming alternatively. Since 2013, I have receded from the public stage, so many of you will not know me, and it is not my intention to type out my history again. Below this post, I will quote myself from the past for those who are interested in history. Despite my increasing inactivity, I still receive many letters asking for advice or help. It pains me every time that I have little to say in the way of specifics, anymore. What I think about the state of things is that the solution to the atrophied nature of the political scene, the silence across IRC and this OWF, the solution to breaking this gridlock of apathy is to at last discover the nature of your alliances and follow your hearts. What we have is not peace or order, as some believe or claim, but walking death. An alliance is the sum of its constituent nations regardless of the political nature of its form, whether it takes the form of a democratic autocracy (as Pacifica and Polaris) or democracy, or whatever else, the entity is the nations acting in unison. You control your alliance by your association with it. You must examine your own values, and you must examine the values of your alliance. Every alliance exists for the same reason: mutual protection, mutual growth, but every alliance differs out from that. Find the alliance whose character aligns with your own, or work to build a consensus within your alliance around the character you want it to have. Is techraiding wrong or not? Are compulsory (M-level) treaties acceptable or not? How should team Senators be used? The answers to questions like these are the character of your alliance. Once an alliance understands its identity, it must understand that to sign military treaties with alliances whose character are opposed to its own ideals is to betray itself. Would you deny your values and embrace hypocrisy for, not peace, but false truce? War is not the inevitable result or even desired result of drawing a line between yourselves and those who do not share your values. This is not a call for chaos but for fidelity. And where conflict arises between alliances of differing values, are your ideals, your character, your values not worth war? Passion stirs activity. Alliances must work to create a global situation which draws their individual members into this world and enthralls their passions to better the alliance, to better their nations, to stand apart in the world and if necessary stand opposed to the world. This mewling stagnation born of political self-betrayal is the death of interest. This has been my message since Vox Populi overthrew the global order and showed that rulers do matter, that rulers of nations are the foundation of political play, and that when rulers associate and act based upon their shared values they are powerful. It is my message to you still on the event of my ninth anniversary. The idealist can only battle the world for so long. I am sorry that I have left you all. I regret that my growing disillusion across the years made me so acerbic as to be ineffectual in the twilight of my influential years. I am so glad that Van Hoo and Doitzel have returned lately, and I hope you will stick around, and make sparks. When no one else would touch me after Vox, Van Hoo put his fledgling alliance on the line, and invested in my ideas, and made Cult of Justitia and everything that flowed from it possible; anyone who insults him insults me. I miss my old friends, I was never good at keeping in touch from one alliance to the next. I am grateful to anyone who ever read my essays, tirades, and declarations and took some part of them to heart. Writing for all of you gave me joy, and I am glad that you were entertained or moved. I am proud of the things I accomplished, though so many were in the shadows, or seemed very small in the wider world—I always prided myself on making a big bang with a small charge. Yours, Schattenmann

First off, let's give credit where credit is due: Happy 8th anniversary of the Great Greenlight to Farkistan. On this day 8 years ago--a boring Wednesday--the Greenlight ushered in over 800 nations, Schloss Eggenberg was one of them. Ironically enough, I remained unaligned for 6 months, then joined GOONS just in time for ModGate, the Moldavi Rebellion/Affair, and the UnJust War. As an unaligned, I was completely ignorant of world events, ho ho. In November, the remaining gov, Sarafina and Alastor, told us to either really surrender and get on with our lives, or fake surrender and sign up for Hidden GOONS. So, I planted one on IRON's behind and got to work as a sleeper for the next 7 months. As a Hidden Goon, I first went to RoFL, a GOLD diaspora AA, where I was made MoD because I had a copy of that expletive-filled war guide by Arcades. We merged into Purge, another GOLD diaspora AA, where the MoD resigned because RoFL sucked, so I was made MoD there. Our "protector" TPF dissolved our triumvirate and installed a viceroy one day because they were planning to merge with a Starfox startup and get a new protector, so I was made Emperor of Purge. I pissed on DarkMistress's boots on the night IRON declared on GPA, and Purge was shortlisted for a good stomping, so we disbanded. I went to Browncoats, because ChairmanHal was Prime Minister and I had a huge crush on his brain. While there, I disrupted the attempts of a bunch of crappy Polaris toadie AAs, the Dark Confederate bloc—whose graves I piss on—to kick WarriorConcept and Sarafina, the remaining 2 GOONS Senators out of the Senate, which of course resulted in a lot of threats and a court martial for me, from which I emerged victorious. A few weeks later, most of the active members poached off to form a new AA under the protection of our duplicitous ally IAA, and Hal left for Valhalla, so I ran for MoFA. There I instigated the Bubblegum War along with BDC President Zzzptm to prevent half of Black from getting drawn into the war through our treaty chains. The plot was discovered when an idiot Browncoat (probably Han Fei Zi) posted logs in an attempt to save our honor, but any moron ought to have known that he was just going to get them killed, and that's just what happened because their is no honor on Digiterra, not now or ever and especially not then. The outcome was rough, but the plan was beautiful. Whatever your opinion, it did transition me from notable OWF loudmouth to international infamy. I fought Browncoats/Polaris/Dark Confederate PZI for a few weeks, then joined TOP, where my anti-Pacifican politics made me the most popular member behind Revolution XYZ. While there, GOONS finally disbanded for real in June 2008. I got in hot water at TOP, they kicked me out and converted my rebuilding aid debt to 1,600 tech and proposed to hold me in limbo until it was repaid, and I didn't much give a rat's ass post-GOONS, so I killed myself on Manic Monday along with several other luminaries who were also fed up with the Continuum-ruled world. Fortunately, as a body-snatching time observer, I am immortal. A couple weeks later, the noCB War began and Starfox and Doitzel asked me to join them and 8 others in forming a super group to verbally thrash the evil Continuum. It was supposed to last a couple weeks and then we'd be gone again, but within 2 or 3 days over 200 nations joined our AA, and Vox Populi was thus transformed from a troll party into a real live movement that went on for 9 months and laid much of the climate change needed for Karma to take down Continuum. In Vox, my niche was a weekly publication, This Week in Pacifica, which took spy reports and made them public sport. It was a blast. Post-Vox, I founded Cult of Justitia to continue- and expand on some of the serious philosophical ideals of Vox. The seriousness of our ideals, rigorous application standards, and opposition status in the world ensured on one hand that we were never going to be very big, but on the other that what nations we had were dedicated. Those who weren't serious were shown the door, as I famously expunged half our membership on the eve our optional entry into the Doomhouse-NPO War in defense of NPO. To this day I am still extremely proud that Justitia's Cult attracted the caliber of members that it did. I also owe them all a debt of gratitude, especially Don Chele. By the end of the Equilibrium War, Justitia's Cult had run its course, and for that matter so had I, so we shut the doors on the Justitian Mystery, which I assure you is quite serious and real, and archived in only two places on this planet. Since CoJ, I have been in Polaris. Given my early history, many have been puzzled and some hostile about it, but the answer is simple and has guided me since Vox: Honor truth, not men. I do not reduce allegiance to petty friendship, but align to ideals. Polaris today is not the Polaris that PZIed me and dozens of others, it is one of very few alliances that both took Justitia's Cult and its ideals seriously, and was not afraid to be seen with us. I have mostly kept to myself since joining Polaris aside from a few months as Deputy MoFA. I set pen to paper tonight with it in mind that I was going to write just a few sentences, and here we are. Well, you all always loved me for my essays, anyway. Frankly, the last time I made an anniversary thread it was criticized as too egotistical, so by comparison I have kept this simple. I'm hesitant to make a list for fear of leaving people out, but I do want to say that there are a lot of players past and present who've been good friends or allies, and I appreciate you all. ChairmanHal has always been a voice of reason and a good friend to bounce things off of; Don Chele and Biff Webster did a lot of heavy lifting in CoJ; however depraved we were, long hours in #goonrush were a lot of fun with some funny and mostly good people; Sigrun, Van Hoo III, Dajobo, BloodFury, Yawoo and Daggarz were invaluable allies; and the entire Vox crew (there were 200-300 of you and I'm sorry I don't know you when you query me nowadays). That's it. I guess if you want to get interactive I'll answer any questions or return any barbs.

Good evening, and welcome to this special edition of This Week in the Network, your number one source for all news orange and pulpy from that shining beacon of peace and friendship, the Orange Defense Network. I'm your host Schattenmann, TWiN is on! Lay of the Land Tonight we're pleased to bring you this special international edition of TWiN. For those of you who haven't been paying attention, here's the scoop. On January 22, 2014, DBDC declared war on World Task Force in sport to celebrate its second anniversary. Per usual, DBDC nations have been swapping AAs between IRON, Doom Squad, Swash Plates and Tail Rotors, Dark Templar, etc. WTF has not played the game, continuing their defense regardless. And so the stage was set for the kind of drama that has always been set up by DBDC's dual membership partners. The Case of Noob Cake One nation in particular, Noob Cake, has sought to escape justice by applying to the Orange Defense Network, prompting a diplomatic mission to ask when the war would end. And were that the end of it, my friends, what a boring show this would be indeed. Fortunately for us, ODN's diplomat began his visit with undertones that the Network is done with this war and so should be WTF. Rankled, and rightly so, by this interloping and already fired up by two months of war, WTF's members gave an ear-burning reply to Shinnra. As the responses heated up, Shinnra was joined by newly-minted Secretary General Peaches and bucovina, who apparently arrived to throw gasoline on the fire Peaches of course lightens the situation by calling WTF a pack of savages for responding in anger to ODN's thinly-veiled threats. I do believe he might even have got some mud on the edge of his petticoats. bucovina, not being an actual diplomat but a concerned citizen on a private mission, chimes in Yes, why don't you mind your manners, WTF, because ODN is here to tell you that you take those threats with a smile and say thank you or we're coming back with a thousand school marms to knock some manners into your knuckles. And so they went round. WTF has made clear that they will defend themselves until they have had their fill, and that is not likely anytime soon. ODN's diplomatic mission finally punctuated their point once more: Something else. Scary stuff. All this begs the question, what in Mod's name were they thinking? It is clear that ODN believed WTF to be naïve and so stupid as to be pliable by the most blunt conversation. These are not the overtures of practiced diplomats, but what we might expect from a startup protectorate. Clearly, a new approach was needed. A reboot in the tradition of foreign affairs reboots. Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies And now we come to the final act in this comedy of errors. Sensing that ODN's first thread had run its course, Secretary General Peaches sough to reset the diplomatic process by opening a new thread. Now, bear with me, folks, I know reading hurts, but you want to catch all the patronization, all the lies, all the condescension here in its entirety, you won't be disappointed. The Final Word We here at This Week are incensed. We're incensed that ODN has threatened to intervene in the WTF-DBDC War because ODN has decided it's time for the war to end. We're incensed that the Secretary General has made such undeniably wild claims. Now you listen here, Mr. Secretary General, I think I speak for all of us (as usual) when I say we're just here for the fireworks. I for one understand, appreciate, and respect WTF's isolationism, and I don't imagine they think of a diplomat rush to watch your trainwreck as an opportunity. I was reticent about posting, but your speech is geared toward an international audience because you're on CNtel and because you know we're watching. I for one find your entire speech to be . . . wild. ODN is not the oldest democracy, that's GATO. ODNistas vote at rates as low as 13% (during war, when activity is highest); Polaris is an autocracy with an elected council, our last election saw 32% participation. ODN is not in the slightest a "defensive" alliance. You are an alliance that "defends" allies by disregarding all circumstance. When MK attacked NPO for no reason except to curb their growth, you followed. Now DBDC has attacked WTF for no reason except to remove them and curb their growth, you will follow. In this last war, too, begun by bald aggression to deliberately start a global war, ODN was right there beside its allies where it will always be and where it belongs. You are an aggressive alliance to your core because you do what you're asked and "don't let friends burn." ODN is not an alliance that favors white peace. You favor whatever your allies favor (as you've said here over and over) and if your allies want reps, ODN's military, membership, and government are behind them as you did in the Doom House-NPO War. If ODN is in any way "for" white peace right now it is because that is simply the prevailing sentiment and ODN is nothing if not followers, because your elementary "friends" foreign policy precludes all judgement or autonomy. It doesn't matter why, it only matters who. And as your longest-serving Secretary General OsRavan has said in a rare moment of clarity, "When you back something with military force in a coalition you don't get to shift the blame." You frame this war as an inevitable clash of cultures. It is anything but! WTF's culture is in no way in conflict with DBDC's culture. There is nothing intrinsically at odds between these two alliances. This is a war of opportunistic election on DBDC's part, and if ODN enters it will be the same: opportunistic aggression. This is not a clash of cultures, it is a war gone bad. This bit of intellectual dishonesty is so goofy as to be offensive. How dare you attempt to equate WTF's resolve to fight to the death with past suicide runs. WTF does not need to moralize its stance, DBDC did that for them when they attacked WTF for sport. ODN does not do whatever it can to promote a friendly or moderate environment for all. You ally with strongmen and then back them up in whatever moves they make, because they're your "friends." If ODN wants to promote moderation and friendliness, it will cancel its DBDC treaty and mind its own business. Your treaty facilitates this very situation because DBDC knows, knows, that its nations are useless against conventionally-constructed AAs, and that its allies are the ones who'll be doing the fighting when things go bad. And voila! here you are threatening war in the name of peace, friendliness, and moderation. The entire tone of this speech is insulting. It is patronizing and makes it clear that ODN thinks of itself as the Great White Father here to inform and civilize these weird neutral savages. For my part, WTF, I must say bravo. You have staked out your position and stuck to your principles in the face of overwhelming challenges. Not because you are naïve, but because you are extremely well aware of what is happening, as you have demonstrated. Collectible Sig And now a This Week tradition: Your TWiP Collectible Sig, crafted for all you TWiNnies out there in TV land from the most special screenshot of the week. I think this one speaks for itself. That's it for This Week, thank you for joining us tonight. From everyone here in the studio on this, the twenty-seventh day since DBDC confused isolationist for pacifist, goodnight, and good luck!

[center] [/center] Good evening, and welcome to This Week in GATO, your number one source for news and entertainment from that shining beacon of dogged democracy, Digiterra's oldest and most senile alliance, GATO. I am your humble host Schattenmann here to make this war official: TWiG is on! When we think GATO, what do we think; what is the essence of GATO? It is of course democracy. In darker days, it was GATO's democracy which made GATO the perfect foil for its autocratic arch-nemesis. But democracy doesn't mean just one thing on this old planet of ours; inside an alliance it might mean a vote, but on the world stage we often speak of the democracy of action, or, "voting with your feet." And with that in mind, tonight we ask Who's in Charge Here? There is nothing left under the sun to say about peace mode: In practice, it is either a tactic or a joke. Unfortunately, what begins as a tactic all too often ends as a joke. The early days of any war see a lot of PM as folks watch the dominoes fall, but given GATO's history, the ridicule started early for GATO. I tell you tonight, friends, GATO's intentions were golden: His orders posted, the polls opened in GATO's military, unfortunately the vote was one of no confidence. Six days later, the response of GATO's top tier a resounding "No, thanks!" MagicNinja once again ascended the lectern: So, who's in charge here? Power in GATO, it seems, lies squarely with the people. Promises, Promises: A Musical Interlude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWNJlc-IylY context Never had a doubt In the beginning Never a doubt Trusted too true In the beginning You made me promises promises Knowing I'd believe Promises promises You knew you'd never keep context Second time around I'm still believing words that you said You said you'd always be here "In war mode forever" Still repeats in my head You can't finish what you start If this is war it breaks my heart You made me promises promises You knew you'd never keep Promises promises Why do I believe? Arm in arm EQ laughed like kids At all the silly things GATO did You can't finish what you start If this is war it breaks my heart "Do not disappoint me again." With all rumors indicating that the war is all-but-over, you might expect GATO is ready to get out of the house, stretch its legs, and give us a good show after all its promises. You'd be wrong. Believing that the war would be over in the next week or two, MagicNinja once again took to the bully pulpit and ordered GATO out of peace mode--all of them. Not one month from the 26th, as promised, but nearly two. According to plan, by March 16th, Legion and RnR should have been in the middle of a cascading down-nuke nightmare. "You have embarrassed me." A full week after his orders, GATO remains firmly ensconced in peace mode. The grand final offensive against Legion and RnR? The "strong finish"? GATO nations in peace mode 11 days after deadline to leave peace mode: 58% (112/193) Wars declared by GATO 3/14-3/17: 29 The people of GATO are just not up to it. What can explain the refusal of the electorate to obey the orders of the MoD they elected? The vote has been cast, Doom House has lost. Meanwhile, in R&R . . . The alarm sounded by TWIG field reporters, R&R's government had alerted its members to the planned assault on March 12. Indeed. Imagine my embarrassment at having alerted fellow Equilibrium alliances of not one, but two GATO assaults which never came. Double Standards, A Cyber Nations Game And on a final note, as a matter of due diligence, the interns here at TWiG attacked one of the 4 GATO nations not in peace mode in the range of Schloss Eggenberg. Busy not being in charge of anything except his own nation, MagicNinja quickly noticed and reached out with this message: That's right, faithful viewers, after keeping GATO's military in peace mode for the entirety of the war, after ordering GATO to attack only once he believed the war was over, GATO's Minister of Defense believes that yours truly is pathetic. I do believe we've found a pinhead. That's it for tonight! I hope you have had as much fun as we have here at TWiG. For everyone here, I am Schattenmann wishing you goodnight and good luck on this, the eleventh day since GATO was ordered out of peace mode. The war is gone, another war has gone from us, it's gone away. It'll be back in 6 months, though so until then ho-ho, ho-hooooo So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good-bye! I hate to go and leave this bloody siiiight.

Let the peace of Justitia rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.[/i][/indent] Now is the time when the fortunate among us gather around family, friends, or those dear to us, and give thanks for the blessings in our lives. We mirror these blessings with bountiful feasts, and the fullness of stomach is our fullness of life. The Thanksgiving Table is a labor of love, and the fruits of the cook's labor are a source of pride. Are you a cook? Wednesday and Thursday will you be putting together your famous such-and-such, which you have mastered over the years and bring out on this most glorious day of feasting? This year, Justitia's Cult invites all culinary-inclined rulers to an open contest. We intend to host a photo contest wherein you may submit your masterpieces; your golden turkeys, your perfect pies, your savory sides. We ask: Who's Thanksgiving cuisine will reign supreme? Categories are your turkey (or other centerpiece [i]entree[/i]), side dish, and dessert. Prizes will be awarded in tech, and entries will be judged by discerning Justitians. To enter, we invite you to the Temple of Justice which is now located at ruiningthegam[b]e[/b].com . Apply for a mask in the Foreign Guests section. Three threads will be open in our Gardens, one for each category. Entry period will run through Sunday. Winners will be recognized on the OWF after Monday. We hope you'll come out for a good time and hopefully a good show (I've seen some freakish turkeys in my day, so it could be awful, who can say?) Spread the word to your members if you can, all are welcome.

[center][IMG]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff246/cndump/Flags/header.png[/IMG][/center] Recently, Cult of Justitia has had some trouble with our website. You may now find us at www.Banned Link Yes, you read that correctly. For years, Justitia's Cult has been successfully hiding the true nature of our mysterious order under the more innocuous domain "coj-cn.co.cc," but the sudden disappearance of the domain service has forced the sunlight onto our top-level domain and true nefarious nature to destroy the world. Now exposed, the time for secret plotting is over, and soon we shall let loose our dread armies to bring terror to every corner of Digiterra before the final and everlasting peace of Justitia's Reign is established. Any foreign dignitaries registered as diplomats may begin groveling for mercy at the new domain.

This Week in CyberNations is happy to announce that AirMe, Triumvir of TLR, will join us live this Thursday @ 9 PM Eastern/8 PM Server. Bloodfury will also join us per usual, and I hope to have some other rotating guests. Post your questions for AirMe here in this blog, and we'll discuss them during the show. The link to the stream is in the channel topic of #CNIB on Coldfront, or at http://www.cnib-group.com There is a slight possibility that AirMe will be indisposed due to houseguests, so in order to prevent this, I am offering 100 tech to anyone that kidnaps the houseguests and returns them unharmed at 12 AM Friday.
