Greetings, Its been awhile. Seems like we became recluses for awhile and stopped announcing things. Some notable events in the past half year or so include a couple of elections and our 9th Birthday back in July. So Happy like 9.4th birthday to us since its a few months later now. In less interesting news, around a half a month ago the Random Insanity Alliance voted on and amended a large portion of our ConstRItution specifically around our government structure. Our updated ConstRItution is as follows for anyone who cares enough to read it. Its pretty similar to our old one, just with updates to reflect the new government structure. [spoiler] [/spoiler] Per the new ConstRItution, RIA Government is now as follows: Lord Cactuar: Shadow, By the Grace of Cactuar, His Glorious Excellency The Most Holy, Blessed, and Venerable Lord Cactuar of Random Insanity and the Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging, Captain Planet Emeritus, Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Realms of the Cactuar, Defender of the Faith, Guardian of the Funk, Grand Master of the Most Noble Sovereign Military Order of Cactimus Prime, Central Commander of the Nintuar Clan, Leader and Guide of the Rivolucion, The Ultimate Lifeform, Mystic Dragon Emperor of the Cheeselands, Archduke of Disorder, Overlord of Lunacy, Puppetmaster of Chaos, etc. 1st Floridian Council (serves until Jan 31 2016) Cactimus Prime dester55 Gigantuar Leo Funktuar Mogar Elders brian cctmsp13 (also Viceroy) Croix im317 Jenne Ogaden Princess Celly Shadow Slayer Captain Planet: Joe Stupid tl;dr 'So This Is How Liberty Dies...With Thunderous Applause' After many years of civil war the Insanity half of the alliance has triumphed temporarily over the Random half. Shadow, having been Triumvir since August 10 2008, has been declared the first Lord Cactuar of the Random Insanity Alliance and shall serve the RIA until his resignation or recall.

A Totally Spooky Early Halloween Themed Announcement from the Random Insanity Alliance Greetings friends and heretics, The Random Insanity Alliance recently held our bimontly elections and you will find the results below. For our Triumvirate, we had an election between making Shadow the God Emperor and electing Ogaden to replace Hyperonic, who chose not to re-run this term. 85.7% of the vote went to making Shadow the God Emperor so he has been given that position as an advisor while Ogaden has been re-elected into the Triumvirate since we have technically not amended the ConstRItution to have a God Emperor yet. A slight oversight but that shall be corrected in the future. We congratulate Shadow on his new position and Ogaden on this return to the Triumvirate where Shadow also remains alongside im317. This marks the return of the previous Triumvirate of Shadow, im317, and Ogaden that everyone knows and loves. For our 64th Cabinet, we had a range of interesting elections. For Head of Internal Affaris we saw Croix win with 66.7% of the vote against anybody but Croix. Thus Croix will continue his work in the position as he has for the previous many months. For Head of Economics, we saw Mogar win with 66.7% of the vote as well (I can only assume the secret CDS faction voted both of the above in power). We welcome him back as he takes over Ogaden's former position as Ogaden returns back to the Triumvirate. Mogar was once Head of Recruitment back in June/July 2012 so we welcome him back to government. And before anyone tells us how crazy we are for having Mogar in gov, just remember our name and also the fact he has been gov previously a few years back and we are still around. For Head of Foreign Affairs, we saw brian win re-election with 33.3% of the vote. The other 66.7% went to DBDC who was disqualified for not being a single person and not being a member of the RIA. Fun times. With brian taking the position this leads to a majority ex-CDS in the cabinet. We'll have to keep an eye on them. For Head of Military Operations, we saw Moth win with 83.3% of the vote after he showed off his unnatural bloodlust during our DBDC conflict but it was realized that he never actually ran for the position so the runner up biofantic gets re-elected with his 16.7% of the vote. For Head of Recruitment, we saw our board's new cactuar mouse clicker win with 71.4% of the votes. It has shown to be very popular and you should visit our boards to see its silliness. However, as its an inanimate object the runner-up dester55 wins re-election with 28.6% of the votes. For Captain Planet, we saw Mydas of CRAP edge out Meatkin Pie by taking 57.1% of the vote. Congrats to Mydas on being our newest Captain Planet. In our first special election of the term for the position of Leo, we saw Kenny (aka Hyperonic) beat out Leo with 83.3% of the vote. We congratulatec him on his new position. In our second special election of the term for the position of Prince of Darkness, we saw Jenne win with 71.4% of the vote against Ozzy Osbourne. We congratulate Jenne on his new position as well. Government for October & November 2014 Triumvirate XII Shadow im317 Ogaden 64th Cabinet Head of Economics: Mogar Head of Foreign Affairs: Brian Head of Internal Affairs: Croix Head of Military Operations: biofantic Head of Recruitment: dester55 Advisors Captain Planet: Mydas (of CRAP) God Emperor Shadow Prince of Darkness Jenne Leo Hyperonic Viceroy cctmsp13 Cactus Emeritus Agent Lemon Delta1212 Hyperonic Moth Shadow Slayer Thunder Strike Floridian Tribal Elder Apophis775 Jenne Economics Report In these past two months we'd like to report an increase in our tech reserves to approximately 328,611 or 78.1% of our 420,663 infrastructure. 47% of our overall nation strength now comes from our tech while 36% comes from infrastructure, 14% from military, and 4% from land. We would like to thank the following alliances for filling our appetite for tech for the previous two month. Each of the following alliances fed us over 1000 tech in the previous term, all of which are also treaty partners of the RIA: The Random Insanity Alliance for feeding us approximately 13,600 tech for $723,000,000.00. As always RIA members continue to help each other grow and increase tech. We are happy that our inter-alliance tech trading remains our highest source of tech. R&R for feeding us approximately 5,100 tech in exchange for $441,000,000.00. As always they remain our largest foreign trade partner, a position which they have continuously remained as for the entirety of the previous several years, even during previous global conflicts. We thank them for continuously being awesome. The New Polar Order for feeding us approximately 4,400 tech in exchange for $48,000,000.00. A large portion of this tech was sent to us for free to help replenish reserves lost during our nuclear war with the DBDC. We thank our good friends in the New Polar Order for this act of generosity. We love you guys. :) The Congolese Soukous Society for feeding us approximately 4,400 tech in exchange for $516,000,000.00. We are happy our new buddies on maroon have risen up to become one of our largest trading partners. The Coalition of Royal Allied Powers for feeding us 3,400 tech in exchange for $258,000,000.00. Some of this was also given to us for free so we thank our buddies in CRAP for continuously being awesome and one of our top trade partners. :) The New Sith Order for feeding us 2,800 tech in exchange for $0. We would like to thank our good friends in the New Sith Order for their generously in helping us further replenish our tech reserves after our nuclear war with the DBDC. We love you guys too! :) Shangri-La for feeding us 1,500 tech in exchange for $78,000,000.00. Some of this was also donated for free and so we thank them for their continued friendship and trading. :) The Templar Knights for feeding us 1,300 tech in exchange for $84,000,000.00. We thank them for their continued friendship and trading. RIA Trade Partner for feeding us approximately 1,300 tech in exchange for $84,000,000.00. We love our RIA trading partners. I would like to remind everyone of this alliance affiliation which is an open AA for anyone who switches to maroon to receive protection from the RIA. Founded back in 2010, the requirements can be found on http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/RIA_Trade_Partner but in summary only include being on maroon, being on the AA, and after which you'll receive protection from the RIA for any unprovoked attacks. There is no real requirement for trading with the RIA on the AA though we do appreciate those that do. If anyone ever needs a temporary home when trying to decide on a new alliance or when being on break from alliances then RIA Trade Partner is a good place to hang out. :) Also special thanks to Farkistan for donating 300 free tech as well. War Report We would recognize the following five nations - Baldr, im317, Jenne, Moth, Ogaden - with the following award - - that displays under their names on our forums for their participation in the First RIA-DBDC Campaign (a.k.a. the Baldr War). These 5 combined fought approximately 14 wars - 9 offensive and 5 defensive - against DBDC nations. We thank them for their service to the RIA. Llama Report In this term's llama rankings we see im317 has barely inched out Ogaden and takes the number 1 llama herd. We look forward to further growth of our member's llama herds. tl;dr

Some fine gentlemen in a cave themed alliance have had the temerity to attack our sovereign and glorious alliance. This action has been deemed to contravene Article VII, subsection i of the Random Insanity Alliance ConstRItution. While the Random Insanity Alliance prefers to resolve matters peacefully through diplomacy, this is the second time this has happened in as many months, and the previous solution to the previous attacks was not followed through on by the aforementioned fine gentlemen, thus eroding the level of trust and reliability necessary for a diplomatic solution to be successful. I believe a group of wandering surfside philosophers once commented on just this exact situation. Don't back down! The Beach Boys Getting back on point, the Random Insanity Alliance recognizes hostilities with Doombird Doomcave. tl;dr Cute Attack Kitten - surprised kitty

Greetings savages, heretics, friends, and true believers, The Random Insanity Alliance recently had our bimonthly elections. This is a few days late because we have a habit of forgetting to hold elections on their regularly scheduled days so every two months they tend to be held on a different date & time. Though occasionally we do get it close to being on time. I guess this further highlights some of our insanity. Luckily Shadow tends to notice after a few days and starts them up. >_> The results are as followed... For our Triumvirate, im317 was re-elected once again. Thus our Triumvirate remains Shadow, im317, and Hyperonic. This month will also see Shadow hit his 6 year anniversary as Triumvir on August 10 (further cementing his status as someone truly crazy for sticking around in gov for so long and also the RIA for re-electing him so many times). For Head of Economics, or HoE, Ogaden was once again re-elected. For Head of Internal Affairs, or HoIA, Croix was also re-elected. For Head of Foreign Affairs, or HoFA, we see brian returning to the position after Biff Webster decided to take a break and be lazy for awhile. For Head of Military Operations, or HoMO, we see biofantic re-elected again. For Head of Recruitment, we see dester55 being elected. This will be dester's returned to gov for the first time since the end of 2008. We welcome him back and look forward to his work. For Captain Planet, we had a very tight race between Chuck Normis, Electric Mango, and ReyTheGreat. Chuck Normis barely inched one vote ahead of an almost three-way tie between them. Government for August & September 2014 Triumvirate XI: - Shadow - im317 - Hyperonic 63rd Cabinet HoE: Ogaden HoIA: Croix HoFA: brian HoMO: biofantic HoR: dester55 CP: Chuck Normis Bimonthly Aid Report In this past election term, the following silly alliances are who traded with the RIA. We appear to have traded ~$2,128,000,000 & ~37100 tech. Seems like we need to step up our game some more. Thanks for the money & tech. We love you all. :) [spoiler] [/spoiler] tl;dr Used up all my creativity on our birthday post which is why this one is so sane.

July 23, 2006 A day which changed the world. A small band of misfits and crazy people flew from another world into this one. We called ourselves the Random Insanity Alliance. So much has happened in these past 8 years. We have had many a friend and enemy. So many members have come and gone. Those that are gone will long be remembered and those that remain or return will always be brothers. Since our founding 8 years ago, the RIA has had many flags: [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] Some facts about the RIA: * RIA originally spawned out of the Random Insanity social board on GameFAQs. * RIA's original purpose for invading Planet Bob was to help the "Red Team" (NPO) defeat the LUEnited Nations. * ~47% (28 out of 60) of our current membership has been in RIA government for at least one term in our history. * RIA is and has always been a democratic republic. Elections occur every 2 months. Long ago they used to occur every month but this changed via an amendment in early 2009 to allow more time for the Cabinet to implement longer term goals. * RIA is on its 3rd ConstRItution which has been amended 6 times since it took effect in December 2007. * RIA is currently on its Eleventh Triumvirate and prior to its establishment we had 9 single Leaders & 9 Co-Leaders . Each Triumvir serves 6 month terms with a different Triumvir up for election every 2 months. The Leader and Co-Leader in the alliance's beginnings each served 1 month terms. * RIA originally switched to a Triumvirate mainly because Delta1212, Azural, and Moth kept rotating around and defeating each other as Leader. So Delta re-wrote the ConstRItution for the RIA to have 3 leaders instead of 1. * RIA's longest serving Triumvir and government member is Shadow who took office on August 10, 2008 and has been re-elected ever since. * RIA is currently on its 62nd Cabinet. Our Cabinet consists of 5 members each in charge of a different department: Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, Military Operations, Recruitment, and Economics. Each position is up for election every 2 months. * RIA's current forums are our second forums and have existed since April 2007. They have had 358906 posts, 28813 Topic, and 4030 members since their creation. * The RIA is officially a maroon team alliance. 59/60 members of the RIA are on the maroon team. The RIA is ConstRItutionally mandated to always be on the maroon team. The part of the ConstRItution this is in can never be amended or removed from any future ConstRItution. * In the same clause as the above, it states that the RIA cannot constitutionally disband or merge into alliance unless 80% of its total membership approve of doing so in a poll of indefinite length. * RIA's original IRC channel - #RIA on esper.net - was banned after one of the early Great Moth Summonings. It is told in legends that an infidel, one of the operators of the network, attempted to shut down the great summoning and was treated with many a insult in response including an ASCII middle finger from our webmaster. In response to this, the channel and most of our active irc membership got nuked from the network. Thus expediated our migration to synIRC and eventually Coldfront where #RIA lives today after synIRC died out. * The RIA has fought in 14 wars throughout our history against a total of 35 alliances. Of those 35, only 12 are alive today. * The RIA has fought 3 alliances twice: Valhalla, Nordreich, and the Siberian Tiger Alliance. * The RIA declared the Maroon Defense Coalition, a member of The Initiative, in Great War III due to having some grievances against them but had no treaty ties to the Aegis side nor any MDP+ treaties at that time. * The RIA joined the Grand Union of Alliances for Rapport and Defense (GUARD) bloc in July 2007 only for it to collapse less then a month later. Coincidence? You decide. >_> * The RIA was declared on by the League of Extraordinary Nations and OTF Alliance in the War of the Coalition (WoTC/NoCB War) but both of those alliances later came to the RIA's defense in the Karma War. We sometimes have that effect on people. * The RIA has never taken a penny of reps in any war. The only 2 alliances that have taken reps from us, the Maroon Defense Coalition and Grand Global Alliance, are no longer in this world. Coincidence? You decide. >_> * The RIA once peaked at 389 members in November 2007 thanks mainly due to the recruiting efforts of a former member known as Vintus. * According to our records, the RIA peaked at exactly 6,300,000 on November 27, 2011. * The RIA is currently at its highest known average nation strength of ~55,000. * The RIA was once a sanctioned alliance. It first become one on February 21, 2011. Our forum tag was the first .gif submitted & accepted: * The RIA maintains 9 separate treaties with the Coalition of Royal Allied Powers with our relationship beginning on November 11, 2007 when we first signed a protectoRIte pact with them. * The RIA's oldest active defense treaty is the Chestnut Accords between CRAP, GOD, RIA, and TTK signed on December 27, 2008. * The RIA and TTK have an active non-aggression pact which was signed on October 20, 2006 - making it one of the oldest treaties in existence. * The RIA and USN also maintain an active non-aggression pact which was signed on February 3, 2007 making it also one of the oldest treaties in existence. * To complete the circle the TTK and USN also have a non-aggression pact which was signed on January 13, 2007 creating a circle of ancient NAPs between 3 of maroon's oldest alliances. * Even if the other signatories do not, the RIA recognizes having an optional non-aggression pact known as Bastion (http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Bastion_(2nd)) with the Independence Republic of Orange Nations, The Order of the Paradox, and Umbrella. * The most active foreign embassies on the RIA forums are: the Independent Republic of Orange Nations with 3468 posts, the New Polar Order with 1591 posts, the New Pacific Order with 1561 posts, the Coalition of Royal Allied Powers with 1420 posts, R&R with 1006 posts, and the New Sith Order with 812 posts. * The RIA, in an attempt to emulate the NSA, maintains vast records on the world we live on. RIA's cybernetic overlord - RI5- maintains records of 95% of every war & aid transaction, and daily statistics on alliances on Planet Bob since 2011 thanks to our overlord admin's daily downloadable stat archives. Alongside these it maintains records of past spy reports, a nation advisor for our members which tracks their growth, and numerous other fun tools. * Via RI5, RIA's tech trading is entirely automated with daily reminder PMs coming out to those who should send or be receiving tech. Since the beginning of 2014, the RIA has traded $7,537,000,238.00 & 106752 tech. Of this the RIA internally traded $4,267,000,238.00 & 50,051 tech, the RIA and R&R traded $1,404,000,000.00 & 28,500 tech, and the RIA & CRAP traded $444,000,000.00 & 9,499 tech. Thanks to R&R & CRAP for contributing an overwhelming amount to our tech growth. * The RIA is just about to hit 300,000 tech! * This announcement is slightly early since we don't technically turn 8 until 1:40:31 PM when the first RIAer made his nation, however Shadow is impatient and announced it early. * Shadow has written an estimated 90% of the RIA's announcements over the last ~5 years. For some strange reason RIAers still let him do them all. RIAers are known to each maintain vast herds of llamas. The RIA forum keeps track of how many llamas each member and foreign dignitaries have. The top llama herders are as followed: The RIA recognizes all of those who have served in government throughout the years and who each helped shape the RIA's course in this world: * Aaron * Agent Lemon * ananegg * Atonichis775 * Arsenal 10 * Artema Dragon * Azural * bioakky * Bluestrike * brian * C-zom (wethepeople) * cctmsp13 * cheeseaholic * Crazyisraelie * Croix * Damen * Delta1212 * dester55 * Dontasemebro * DrunkWino * Emperor Whimsical * EnragedLobster * Flask * gangs20003 * Grand Poobah Marx * GrilledSlug * Hyperonic * iKrolm * im317 * invincible13matt * Jenne * Joga Bonito * Kaiser * King Death II * King Sqrt * Kloo Shanko * Lanna * Leo * Lord Doom * Loren * Mogar * Moth * Myrrh * Nitemarebforcrismas * Ogaden * Omega-Red * Pinwheel * Prince Tomb * Princess Celly * Queue1 * reoga * rlrcstrnthuist * rodrod * Shadow * Shadow Slayer * Shyox * smeeth * SWAT128 * Thunder Strike * uchiha * Vector * Vintus * VL * zblewski * zombie2000 * The RIA's processed applications boards contains 1663 accepted applications & 490 denied/invalid applications since April 2007. We remember & recognize all those former members of the RIA for their contributions to our history. May they one day find their way back to us or continue living their lives to their fullest. The RIA has fought the following alliances in our history, most of which were fun battles: To those that are still alive: it was fun. :) * Argent * Echelon * Global Alliance and Treaty Organization * Kaskus * League of Small Superpowers * Non Grata * Nordreich * Orange Defense Network * Siberian Tiger Alliance * The International * United Purple Nations * Valhalla To those that are no longer in this world: we still remember you. :) * Eclipsis * Exodus * Federal Domestic Agency * Grand Global Alliance * Hydra * Illuminati * Imperial Assault Alliance * League of Extraordinary Nations * Maroon Defense Coalition * Nations Fighting Together * Nebula-X * Nuclear Fire * OTF Alliance * Quantum * Republic of Dark Knights * Rubber Ducky Division * Seaworthy Liberian Cardboard Boxes * SNAFU * The German Empire * The Order of Light * Virtuoso * War Making Tyrants The RIA currently maintains treaties with the following friends: * Ascended Republic of Elite Republics * Coalition of Royal Allied Powers * Delusions of Grandeur * Farkistan * Global Order of Darkness * Independent Republic of Orange Nations * New Polar Order * New Sith Order * R&R * Shangri-La * The Templar Knights * United Sovereign Nations The RIA has recognized the Green Protection Agency's neutrality since December 2006. The RIA remembers the following former friends who we drifted apart from: * Global Democratic Alliance * New Pacific Order * North Atlantic Defense Coalition * Overclockers UK * Sparta * The Democratic Order * Viridian Entente The RIA remembers the following friends who decided to make themselves a part of the RIA: * Celestial Being * PoTD Alliance * Sol The RIA remembers the following friends who are now only a part of the history of this world: * \m/ * 57th Overlanders * Aeon * Apocalypse * Armed Coalition of Valor * Arrow of Chiron * Asgaard * Atlantic Shadow Confederation * Atlantis * Auxiliary Army * Bel Air * Blatantly Awesome Coalition of Nations * Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations * Confederation of Organized Nations * Confederation Of Radical Elites * Cronus * Element * Elitist Global Superstructure * Fellowship of Unified Nations * Frontline Formation Coalition * Goa'uld Empire * Goon Order of Neutral Shoving * Gotham * Greenland Republic * Hegemony of Periphery States * HeroesOfGaming * Imperial Assault Alliance * Imperium Romanum * International Communist Party * International Protection Agency * International States of Solidarity and Freedom * Klingon Empire * Knights of the Imperial Cross * League of United Defense * LUEnited Nations * Maroon Revolutionaries Alliance * Monos Archein * Mushroom Kingdom * Nemesis * New Sakura Order * Norden Verein * Northern Treaty Organization * Novus Orbus * Nuclear Proliferation League * Order of Feudalistic Security * People's Front of Judea * Ragnarok * Rapture * Republic of Allied Defenses * Socialistic Empire * Silence * Soliders of Legion * Soliders of Liberty * SOS Brigade * Spootland Alliance of Allied Allies * Spootland-Phantom Alliance of Allied Allies * Team Allied Guardians Alliance * The Angelic Sanctuary * The Brain * The Corporation * The Eagle Nebula * The Four Horsemen * The Immortals * The Order of Halsa * The Order of Righteous Nations * The Other Side * The Phoenix Collective * The Realm * The Shadow Accord * The Shadow Confederacy * The Shadow Confederacy Empire * Through Yggdrasil's Roots * Union of Integrated National Entities The RIA remembers the following former ProtectoRItes that are now a part of history: * Alliance of Powerful Penguinz * Cat Land * Elite Guardians of Peace * Forte * Grand Central Agency * Indigo Defense Force * Maroon Confederacy of Allied Nations * O_o * Oblivion * People's Front of Judea * Relentless Resistance Alliance * RI Nation * The Four Horsemen * The Unitican Empire * The Unitican Federation * Troy * United Defense Contractors * United Pastafarian Alliance Coalition * Western Intelligence Inquisition * Zombieland Recommended reading: birthdays -1st Birthday: http://z15.invisionfree.com/Cyber_Nations/index.php?showtopic=78030 -2nd Birthday: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=29049 -3rd Birthday: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=64247 -4th Birthday: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=89597 -5th Birthday: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/103866-whats-this-you-mean-they-still-havent-been-locked-up-yet/ -6th Birthday: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/112374-random-insanity-rising/ -7th Birthday: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?/topic/117670-lucky-number-seven-year-of-the-llama/ random select interesting and/or controversial topics -

Giggling like schoolgirl, he realized that his beloved pie was missing! Immediately he called his so-called buddy, Funktuara. Cactuar had known Funktuara for (plus or minus) one million years, the majority of which were eccentric ones. Funktuara was unique. She was smart though sometimes a little... crazy. Cactuar called her anyway, for the situation was urgent. Funktuara picked up to a very glad Cactuar. Funktuara calmly assured him that most legless puppies grimace before mating, yet albino cats usually flamboyantly panic *after* mating. She had no idea what that meant; she was only concerned with distracting Cactuar. Why was Funktuara trying to distract Cactuar? Because she had snuck out from Cactuar's with the pie only six days prior. It was a exotic little pie... how could she resist? It didn't take long before Cactuar got back to the subject at hand: his pie. Funktuara sneezed. Reluctantly, Funktuara invited him over, assuring him they'd find the pie. Cactuar grabbed his hiptonicotamus and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Funktuara realized that she was in trouble. She had to find a place to hide the pie and she had to do it recklessly. She figured that if Cactuar took the giraffe, she had at least nine minutes before Cactuar would get there. But if he took the time machine? Then Funktuara would be excessively screwed. Before she could come up with any reasonable ideas, Funktuara was interrupted by eleven selsea kitten Kiwis that were lured by her pie. Funktuara turned red; 'Not again', she thought. Feeling stunned, she aggressively reached for her carrot and thoughtfully lunged towards every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrentthe discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the disease-infested jungle, squealing with discontent. She exhaled with relief. That's when she heard the time machine rolling up. It was Cactuar. As he pulled up, he felt a sense of urgency. He had had to make an unscheduled stop at Seven-Eleven to pick up a 12-pack of gerbils, so he knew he was running late. With a deft leap, Cactuar was out of the time machine and went wildly jaunting toward Funktuara's front door. Meanwhile inside, Funktuara was panicking. Not thinking, she tossed the pie into a box of dull pencils and then slid the box behind her hiptonicotamus. Funktuara was pleased but at least the pie was concealed. The doorbell rang. 'Come in,' Funktuara wildly purred. With a mighty push, Cactuar opened the door. 'Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some pestering self-righteous samurai in a illusioned out go kart,' he lied. 'It's fine,' Funktuara assured him. Cactuar took a seat excruciatingly close to where Funktuara had hidden the pie. Funktuara shuddered trying unsuccessfully to hide her nervousness. 'Uhh, can I get you anything?' she blurted. But Cactuar was distracted. A few freaknasty minutes later, Funktuara noticed a funny-smelling look on Cactuar's face. Cactuar slowly opened his mouth to speak. '...What's that smell?' Funktuara felt a stabbing pain in her fingernail when Cactuar asked this. In a moment of disbelief, she realized that she had hidden the pie right by her oscillating fan. 'Wh-what? I don't smell anything..!' A lie. A abrasive look started to form on Cactuar's face. He turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. 'Th-th-those are just my grandma's ninja stars from when she used to have pet disease-carrying chipmunks. She, uh...dropped 'em by here earlier'. Cactuar nodded with fake acknowledgment...then, before Funktuara could react, Cactuar skillfully lunged toward the box and opened it. The pie was plainly in view. Cactuar stared at Funktuara for what what must've been eleven nanoseconds. In a blinding moment of misguided bravado, Funktuara groped charismatically in Cactuar's direction, clearly desperate. Cactuar grabbed the pie and bolted for the door. It was locked. Funktuara let out a enticing chuckle. 'If only you hadn't been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, Cactuar,' she rebuked. Funktuara always had been a little clueless, so Cactuar knew that reconciliation was not an option; he needed to escape before Funktuara did something crazy, like... start chucking bananas at him or something. Suddenly inspired by the wise teachings of Confuscious, he gripped his pie tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the glass panels. Funktuara looked on, blankly. 'What the hell? That seemed excessive. The other door was open, you know.' Silence from Cactuar. 'And to think, I varnished that window frame four days ago...it never ends!' Suddenly she felt a tinge of concern for Cactuar. 'Oh. You ..okay?' Still silence. Funktuara walked over to the window and looked down. Cactuar was gone. Just yonder, Cactuar was struggling to make his way through the foxy forest behind Funktuara's place. Cactuar had severely hurt his ear during the window incident, and was starting to lose strength. Another pack of feral Kiwis suddenly appeared, having caught wind of the pie. One by one they latched on to Cactuar. Already weakened from his injury, Cactuar yielded to the furry onslaught and collapsed. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was a buzzing horde of Kiwis running off with his pie. But then the Almighty, the All Powerful, the Great One, RIctuar came down from above with His ten thousand needles and restored Cactuar's pie. Feeling exasperated, RIctuar smote the Kiwis for their injustice. Then He got in His gerbil rocket and jettisoned away with the fortitude of 200,000 hissing sloths running from a shrunken pack of man-eating capybaras. Cactuar tripped with joy when he saw this. His pie was safe. It was a good thing, too, because in four minutes his favorite TV show, 'What's new in the RIA?' , was going to come on (followed immediately by 'When man-eating capybaras meet 3-legged wallabies'). Cactuar was pleased. And so, everyone except the samurai and a few bloody glove-toting hissing sloths lived blissfully happy, forever after. tl;dr of the tl;dr In the world Cupcakery, there lived a smattering of ingredients in an encampment known as the Cupboard. It was a dark and despairing place. As drab as it was, the ingredients referred to it as their homeafter all, what else did they have? The encampment was run by the Brownies. The Brownies did not let anyone burritosunless, that is, the ingredient was Chosen. Every month or so, an ingredient would be Chosen by the Brownies leader, Cocoa, to burritos and become one with the Cakea glorious place where the ingredients believed they would find eternal bliss. Whenever the Brownies announced that they had selected another ingredient to burritos, every member of the Cupboard hoped that this time, the Brownies would choose them. Life in the Cupboard had always been like this. Everyone did what they could to help the other ingredients get by, and although they hated being in the Cupboard, it became bearable. Cupboard life was routine. Nothing ever upset the balance of their world, or caused anyone great distress. One ingredient, by the name of Vanilla, was the favorite of the ingredients. Many ingredients wondered why he had not been Chosen by the browniesthey figured that if anyone had earned it, he had. Vanilla eventually became leader of the Cupboard, and worked to create a much more bearable life for all. After many years, the day came when Vanilla was Chosen by the Brownies to become One with the Cake. Many were heartbroken to see him burritos, but no one questioned his worth. The Brownies escorted him out of the Cupboard, and the gate was firmly shut behind them. After burritos the Cupboard, Vanilla was brought to a group of other ingredients. He had never seen any of them before, which led him to suspect they had come from other encampments. They all looked excited to have been selected to become Chosen. The group was lead to a building, and each ingredient was placed in a room, and told that they had to wait in their rooms until called to become One with the Cake. As Vanilla patiently waited for his turn to come, he heard a whisper from his window. Curious, he glanced overand saw Sprinkles, an Ingredient that had been Chosen when he was still young. Vanilla leaned over the windowsill, shocked. "Why are you here? How are you not One with the Cake?" Vanilla asked. Sprinkles shushed him, and motioned for him to quickly climb through the window and join him outside the building. Puzzled, Vanilla obliged. Sprinkles then led Vanilla to a corner of the encampment, and explained to Vanilla what the Brownies were really doing. Pastrycide, he said, was the process of taking parts from all the so called Chosen and combining them to form new Brownies. A millennia ago, the Brownies had been peaceful and coexisted with the ingredients, but were a desperate and dying race. Then, Cocoa had risen up to become their leader. They began to hunt ingredients for food, and make more Brownies. When almost all the Ingredients had been hunted to near extinction and the Brownies much more numerous, Cocoa had decided that the only way to successfully continue as a race would be to farm these ingredients by creating camps. They all agreed this was necessary, and set up the camps. The lie about Cake was born. When you were Chosen, they really were going to tear you apart and simply make more Brownies, Sprinkles revealed. Vanilla was shocked. His entire life, everything he had believed about the Cake was a lie. He saw Pastrycide for what it truly was nowsomething sinister and evil. He swore to himself that he would stop it, at any cost. It was his duty, as the leader of his people. "With your strength and my knowledge, we can break into the Cupboard and unite the other ingredients in an uprising against the Brownies," Sprinkles said."To do so though, we will need the Key to the encampment, held by Cocoa." Sprinkles and Vanilla traveled to Cocoa's castle, and camped outside the walls. "I am much too old to climb these walls," Sprinkles told Vanilla. "You must do it yourself." Vanilla leapt up, and scaled the walls, entering the castle through a window. Soon he found the chest that held the Key to the encampmentsVanilla took it, and quickly returned to the window he had entered from. Cream Cheese Frosting was waiting for him though. She was beautiful, chosen by Cocoa to be his queen long ago Seeing Vanilla with the Key, she asked him "Why not stay with me here? Together we can overthrow Cocoa and take command of the Brownies. We can rule Cupcakery!" Although Cream Cheese Frosting was beautiful, Vanilla knew that beneath her physical looks, she was as sinister as Cocoa. He could not trust her. Without looking at or answering her, Vanilla dove through the window, and rushed off with Sprinkles. Together, Vanilla and Sprinkles used the Key to sneak back into the Cupboard. There, they gathered all the ingredients. The members of the Cupboard were stunned; here were two of the Chosen, who were supposed to be One with the Cake. Why were they now standing in front of them? Then Vanilla and Sprinkles told them about Pastrycide. The ingredients were skeptical at first, but then they saw it as truth. They were enraged, and decided to take action. They rose up as a group and charged the Brownies, led by Vanilla. After a long fight, more and more camps were rescued from the Brownies' hold. The Brownies were enraged, and began to push the ingredients back. Vanilla and Sprinkles found Cocoa leading the charge, and singled him out in combat. During the fighting, he struck Sprinkles downseeing this, Vanilla attacked back with renewed vigor, and vanquished Cocoa. Seeing their leader fall, the Brownies began to fall back, and flee. After many days of hard fighting, the ingredients won their freedom, albeit at great cost. There was much rejoicing, but then they askednow what? They had been given the boons of truth and freedom. What was next? They looked to Vanilla, who said - Now, we build the New World. tl;dr of tl;dr of tl;dr

Greetings fellow disciples of the Holy Cactuar, neutrals, and heretics. Today I bring you tidings of the latest government in the Random Insanity Alliance, the only alliance that offers equal citizenship to all llamas! As you can see above our government has indeed changed as of last night. The most glaring change is the addition is Hyperonic as part of the Triumvirate and Ogaden as Head of Economics. Ogaden decided to step back and take a temporary leave from his role as Triumvir to once again become our Head of Economics due to feeling he lacked the time to fully execute his duties. We are happy he has chosen to remain in government instead of completely taking a break. I would like to thank Ogaden for his service as Triumvir for which he first started in October 2012. May he continue to improve and automate our economy via the awesomeness that is RI5. Taking his place as a part of the newly formed Triumvirate XI is Hyperonic. Hyperonic a.k.a. Kenny a.k.a Jeff Goldblum has been a member of the RIA since near our very beginnings and has served as our webmaster for a majority of that time as well. Thus since he has been able to see all our government discussions anyways we figured he makes a good fit. He fought in a bitter and heated election against Arsenal 10 and came out on top by a single vote. May Cactuar help us all. We would also like to welcome Biff Webster back into government as our Head of Foreign Affairs. He comes into the seat after a two month vacancy where we just wandered aimlessly without any foreign affairs. May Biff help guide us through and into many sexy affairs. Remaining in the Cabinet for another term is Croix as Head of Internal Affairs and hackerhog as Head of Recruitment. We hope they continue to perform and serve with excellency. The final cabinet position of Head of Military Operations has been taken over by Vacant after his last stint as Head of Foreign Affairs. He will remain in charge for a short time until we finish choosing a replacement. The replacement will likely be chosen through a duel to the death between some names we draw from a hat. At least that seems like the fairest method. ...and last but not least we would like to welcome Leo back as the 42nd Captain Planet. May he continue to bring pollution down to zero in the RIA. [hr] [hr] Llama Update [hr] At this moment, I would like to recognize the RIA forums, an intergral part of the RIA family! The current RIA forums have been around since April 2007 and have continued to serve the RIA well as a home that many of us love. over the years they have accrued over 350,000 posts, over 28000 topics and over 5.6 million total page views as seen below. Next we can see the most posted in and most viewed topics in the RIA. These let you get a glimpse into the mind of the RIA and what we all truly care about. ...and last but not least you can see that in a surprise upset, the members-only RIA HQ has recently passed the public social board RI as the most posted in board. Will RI catch back up? Only time will tell. [hr] Now we would like to recognize the following alliances for maintaining awesome embassies on our boards: 1. The Independent Republic of Orange Nations!
