In the year of Revolution, 2003, there came about a political force standing for all that was right in a world filled with wrong. Every year I write a long-winded speech praising the ideals set forth by the founders of this group, but now I do so just out of tradition. On August 28, 2003, hundreds of people sick of tyranny in The Pacific helped form a revolution that ousted the monarch and put in place a benevolent dictator, Francos Spain. I can say I am proud to have served with such a great man and in such a historical event. I stood for those ideals set forth by this group when the revolutionaries formed the government that was named the New Pacific Order. Until the dissolution of the group the following year, I served as a citizen within that group. When it disbanded due to Francos Spain leaving due to personal issues, the People's Republic of The Pacific formed. Although similar to the New Pacific Order, it compromised ideals for the organization to be accepted. I never agreed with this and rarely took part in that group. Then comes 2006 when several of us from the People's Republic of The Pacific joined CyberNations and reformed the New Pacific Order. Moving along from this history lesson is the point; on this day six years ago, a great group of people formed a government that has indirectly lasted six years. A government meant to serve the people, dedicated to peace, prosperity, and strength. I will forever stand for a group that holds the same ideals. I hear the current propaganda from the New Pacific Order claim the revolution is not over. I would agree to this, but the revolution is reserved to those looking for peace, prosperity, and strength; not an established government that exerts the opposite. I will never stop fighting, I will always be an August Revolutionary, and maybe the last.

- RedCommunist, August Revolutionary

The OP does a pretty good job explaining it.

And as one of the original revolutionaries, he's something of an authority.

That being said, it has been one of my greatest honors to contribute to the revolution, a feeling of personal satisfaction and accomplishment the likes of which I have not yet felt since.

I'm interested in how he interprets the ideals of peace, strength, and prosperity and also what he sees as the goal of this revolution. I have seen the term used in different ways, so I have to ask. :)

You know, sometimes I wonder how you find the gall to act like an authority on stuff you really are mind-numbingly ignorant about.

I swear, at least ChairmanHal goes through the trouble of explaining the process by which he arrives at his conclusions.

Oh, that explains how you were just kidding when you ranted about stuff to the point where your seniors in TOP from that time asked everyone in general to ignore you blowing smoke out of certain orifices of yours.

Clearly, my sarcasm detector must be broken if I did not recognize your rambling walls of text for the clear satire that they were. After all, no one could be so deluded and yet live.

What I said was true and remains so. You made false statements, I responded to them and my response was spun out of context. Congratulations on the glorious victory. What that has to do with a mild joke I have absolutely no idea.

Your joke was unfunny, you were the one who made false statements, were called out on them, and promptly told to shush.

Of course, you could not be silenced. After all, if reality did not conform to your beliefs, why, you would shout down the false prophet of fact until it submitted to your clear and obvious correctness!

Puh-leaze. Dont play the victim card when you instigated a fight you clearly lost.

Ouch, you think my joke is unfunny. I don't know what I'll do. As for how I lost, you said NPO built up from nothing to being important. That is simply untrue, unless you want to count TOP fighting well on NPO's side as NPO 'giving' something to TOP. TOP's infra was not 'bought with Pacifican blood' it was bought by TOP's own successes, which had far more to do with internal culture than any Pacifican aid or military support. The funny part is how trash TOP as dishonest and untrustworthy cowards- but when they agree with you what they say is true. Funny how tunnel vision works.

I didnt say that TOP was built up from nothing, I said that TOP wouldn't have gotten anywhere from its position at the time without the NPO's patronage. A claim that was acknowledged, not refuted. In fact, I even pointed out your patent ignorance on the subject when you contradicted me. You werent there, and know nothing of what you're talking about.

I dont recall ever doing anything quite so hypocritical as you seem to be accusing me of, however if I did do so, feel free to quote me doing so. As a matter of fact, my claims and accusations were more or less agreed to as being relatively accurate in their grounds. I believe the term used to describe TOPs relationship with the NPO was "mutually beneficial" and as it became less beneficial for TOP to side with the NPO, they began to prioritize friends like Citadel above Pacifica's schemes.

Hardly tunnel vision when I'm the one being agreed with. Really, now, essenia.

Not a single sentence in that paragraph is true. That's impressive.

A classic "no u" response if anything. Want me to quote myself, for the sake of narcissism?

Or how about the priceless bit where its requested that you be ignored because you don't know what you're talking about?

Edit: Listen, Im sick and tired of you coming in, shooting your mouth off, and generally ruining an otherwise productive conversation. Comrade RC had something substantive to say here. Let it be without being a jerk for the sake of being antagonistic.
