With the approach of Halloween, we have noticed that many national rulers have chosen to participate in the ancient seasonal custom of dressing up in costumes. Some of our members want to participate in the Halloween celebrations, but they wanted to do things a little bit differently.

As some of you know, we have recently been fighting a couple of nuclear rogues who took objection to us because of our neutrality and what team we choose to call home, thus regrettably forcing us to educate them in the difference between neutrality and pacificism. We have therefore decided that it would be fitting for those of us who want to participate in the Halloween party to don the robes of a different team for a few days. We have chosen the white and black teams for this event in recognition of the tradition of Halloween marking the transition between the light and dark times of the year.

While ghosts are a popular element in Halloween, those of us who choose to participate in the costume party will not be ghosting anybody and will retain the 'Grey Council' alliance affiliation.

Because this move is only temporary, our members have been asked not to vote in the senate elections in order to avoid being forced to remain on another team for longer than is planned.

Have fun guys, especially in dealing with the nuke rogues.

Good show GC

May you enjoy your festivities

A unique way of celebrating.
I like it.

Way to go Grey Council.

I heard you're only doing this to help Stickmen take over the White Senate. This may or may not be true, but someone said that it might be.

o/ good idea!

A GC announcement? I like it, hence, why I'm posting here.

I hope yall dont get sanctioned D:

I like this a lot. Good luck GC!

Happy Halloween GC!

This is a fun idea, good show GC.

Perhaps I'll be a neutral for Halloween.

GC

happy halloween!

i like this idea

Very nice and happy Halloween to my old buddies at GC.

Hopefully you can steal a few senate seats.

Awsome halloween idea.

Do we even have more than 10 members on white?

very cool idea! have fun all! (my first thought was the colors orange and black since its the colors of halloween lol) have fun guys!

As if. Grey Council is too cool to join a real sphere, they're not going to conform to your halloween colors. Take that society.

This is my nomination for Quote of the Year right here, great job folks; always respected the GC.

Good Grey Council

Enjoy the switch, good to see you on Black. Hope you told your trade partners so they do not lose that team bonus.

I loll'ed!

On a serious and somewhat aside note though, have those GC folks felt that the no trade bonus has had a minimal or big impact on their growth and development over the last few years?

It's been minimal for me. I'm a fairly recent member at about 3.5 months, and my income didn't change enough to matter significantly. I still get all the same bonus resources and the price cuts and such that go with them, which is the biggest factor on my income and thus my growth.

Have fun mark!


Grey Council

Congrats Grey Council, have fun mates.

What a creative way to do things. I applaud you guys on your originality and I do hope those of you who picked white enjoy their stay.

Cool idea.
Planning on dressing up for other holidays too?
Orange might go well with Thanksgiving.

Nice way of celebrating it!

We will consider celebrating other events in this manner, although we probably won't bother with Thanksgiving. Since Halloween traditionally marked the transition from summer to winter, I am personally tempted to go with the traditional transition to summer that falls on April 30th-May 1st, the opposite side of the year

You guys have fun! It still amazes me your still around despite the troubles you face just being grey. Keep it up!

Way to go grey council

Thx for the great response mate! I've always been curious about that; cheers!

Was it something i said?

Good idea, although everyone now knows that this move is really a secert plan to scope out black and white for your hostile takeover.

the dead rise, it would seem.

I like this. It made me giggle like a little girl.

Grey Council? And I thought you guys ceased to exist in like, 2007.

Thats what they WANT you to think
