Roadie Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 [URL=http://s235.photobucket.com/user/King6083/media/TPFflag_zps33c47378.png.html][/URL] Calm down, Marx. It’s Humor. In preparation for the day Admin finally answers the question "How many nations constitute an alliance?", this announcement serves as public notice that all nations of The Phoenix Federation remain so during the alliance system update and will continue to be for a period of 25 days thereafter regardless of listed alliance affiliation. On day 26 we can all go back to raiding everyone without an alliance. Roadie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Williambonney Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Unfortunate that this announcement is necessary, but with the state of affairs around here I can see why. I hope the new changes go smoothly and the old system is buried and forgotten, although I know everyone has the right to keep the old system at heart.

Williambonney Posted June 24, 2013 Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 This announcement is as clumsy as it is stupid! (inside joke) Dear Mr. Crymson of the Order of the Paradox, I'd like to thank you for your candid humour at this time. Unfortunately, the illustrious Mr. William Bonney, his royal excellence, a.k.a. the King of the GOONS, Emperor of the Kingdom, reigning terror of hell and fire was involved in an automobile accident. He had decided to take a brief vacation from his position as overseer of the Goonland and Kingdom to chauffeur a group of somewhat unruly individuals to purchase some new matching bullet proof vests and ammunition but suddenly a rainstorm had caused him to lose control of the vehicle, injuring one of his eyes. He was immediately rushed to the hospital and was placed in intensive care. Although this group was labelled as a pack of miscreants, recent discoveries in Mr Bonney's notebook have led me to believe them as merely uncivil and extremely volatile when provoked. Two of the local authorities, a Sheriff Mr. Hugh Johnson and his deputy, a Mr. Michael Hunt were investigating the incident and seized Mr. Bonney's classified notebook as evidence. Upon reading through the notebook and after a brief moment of nausea, they exclaimed "holy #$$@" and "yikes", followed by claims of "this guy needs to see a professional psychiatrist". Seeing as it was their jobs however, they decided to conduct an investigation. Being at a hospital, they began by questioning a local nurse about the phrase "monthly doses of viagra", to which she simply giggled and coyly rebuked "I have no clue what your talking about". The two continued their investigations and tried to piece together what they could manage from the notebook full of several phrases and, drawings and objects. The phrases they gathered were: A laxed individual who drew in blue ink A chap who works at a mill although being extremely wealthy A seasoned veteran whose birthday was on valentines day A lord of the valley who ran an escort service An overweight brazzilian generals wedding? She is in debt of sorrows? That really isn't a moon He allows everyone to do what they want.... Heavily armed and constantly bothered by fortunate skateboarders The last uncle of a group of royals that are known to cause havoc A group of free thinking individuals who held several medals at the olympics, not to be triffled with by anyone with half a brain Rising from the ashes, lead by heavy metal The sun always rises here, even in the evening? A large brown shoe One metre stick? WORST idea EVER! Ironically, your name was also noticed in the book, with the phrase "enjoy the north pole behind you". I'm unclear what he means by this, I at first thought it had something to do with a christmas present, but looking at your nation I see you are not of the christian faith. *shrugs* Also there were several references to a popular film, where a man with no pants and attached to an iron lung was led by guy in a hoodie sweatshirt that he called his little best friend. Of course there is much, much more inside this book, but I can't divulge all the details here unfortunately. We went through the book further and found some of Mr Bonney's sketches, some of which were: A green planet with a dollar bill at the centre, on which was an assault rifle A woman being thrown into a gulag with no sunlight, followed by her being run over by a van driven by a preppy obnoxious jerk, a voluptuous redheaded woman, a crass but brilliant woman with glasses, a balding hippy known to wear baggy pants and a talking dog. Apparently she was a great poker player. A man sporting a goatee in a red raincoat, with horns on his head and a forked tail, holding a pitch fork. The number six is scribbled all over the place. Anyway, as to the investigation, it seems that there was only minor injuries to the group of individuals that Mr Bonney was chauffeuring that evening. Being under the influence of medication, Mr Bonney could only provide us brief ramblings. So far we've managed to gather from him are the phrases A charming, sophisticated redhead with a southern accent soothing to the ears Excellent at confusion, always frustrated and breathing heavily through the nostrils... The dark lord, the dark lord!! It's too late, we've gone too far now Also, there was a secret compartment discovered inside the book, in which there was a diamond with a musical note engraved on it, and inside the compartment, the words "Moo tang clan really ain't nothing to $#@! with. The compartment is believed to have contained two of the same diamonds, so the authorities continue to search for the other. Mr Bonney has also been rambling something about a feast, so I'll be looking up the resumes of his two favorite culinary experts in hopes they could prepare a celebration for his return with servings of tenderloins, chicken, bacon and healthy servings of papayas and ice cream. Again I apologize on behalf of his excellency Mr Bonney and will forward your message to him. Cheerfully yours, William Bonney's secretary, a.k.a. performer of miscellaneous duties, soldier of the guerillas united for more manhattan projects, or simply G.U.M.P.

Judge X Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 Luckily this change goes through shortly after I get my WRC. I wonder just how low of an NS I can get for idiots. Anybody that thinks this wasn't needed hasn't been here a day for the last 7 or so years. Anybody who is William Bonney had too much fun typing out something that long and then not posting a tl;dr... TPF also allows raiding and has raids from time to time. o/ TPF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Hakai Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 TPF also allows raiding and has raids from time to time. In that case I think TPF should have been tagged next to GOONS in this post just to be extra sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
