An old man walks on to the stage, in front of a large banner representing the Browncoats and the independents that he represents. As he approaches the podium in the center of the stage, he takes a small swig from a small silver flask that he removed from his large brown duster. After he places it back inside his duster he clears his throat and begins to speak:

Welcome, one and all, to this small and unruly part of the 'verse. Here we do things differently, and you may not like that, but that's why we're out here and you're in there. Out here on the fringe though, we like to party, and will celebrate for whatever reason we got.

Well today I have a reason, and for all those who want to party, you're welcome to stay, for those who don't wish to party, well, you can go on home gorrammit.

Asriel takes another small swig from his flask before continuing.

Now on to why we're here a celebratin' and a partyin'. Ya see, we Browncoats, it's been a long road for us all, but after a while in nowhere, we decided to come back. That was two months ago, and so far we still ain't regrettin' that decision. We've got our ship, it brings us a bit o' cash, I got a crew, and we've all got one simple goal: Keep flying. For the last two months, we've done just that, and we're also pleased to announce that we have done well internally. We got up to 7 official members, with one in the process of joinin our crew, went from 69,000 strength, to just over 94,000 (that's a growth rate of about 27% over 2 months), gaining a nuclear nation, with 2 more along the way, and quickly gaining wonders, at about 13 so far with more coming every month.

Asriel wipes his brow with his handkerchief and clears his throat once more before continuing

I know that to large alliances and well established ones, these markers are small, but to us, an alliance who doesn't care too much about growing the fastest, or being the oldest, well gorrammit, we say screw you. This is our party. Have a drink or go home.

Free rum all around for those who want any. We probably have some wine and beer too if you want that instead.

Asriel, pleased with himself after this speech, more to allies than the world in general, opens up a door revealing a large room containing rum, beer, wine, and what have you. The room is large, and it is hard to see the other side.

Rest assured: The Browncoats have plenty of barrels to fill your alcoholic needs.

Tl;dr: You're too lazy to read my story so NO SOUP FOR YOU!

Edit: also, Obligatory Browncoats picture:

Congrats to my friends in BC.

It may not be the fastest growth in two months, but that won't stop you unless you let it.

Congrats folks

This has been a most excellent alliance to join and grow with. Long live the Browncoats, and hail to our chief, Asriel!!

What the... Deja vu? I thought you guys died like.... two years ago! Man, this is a sign that RL is taking too much of my time.


EDIT: Also, congrats, I guess. Didn't actually read it, but I'm sure there was something congrats-worthy in there.

Have a drink.

An ode to the Browncoats.


Congrats BC. Those numbers may not look large to most, but I understand how much those numbers really mean. I hope you the best of luck in your endeavors and just have fun.

Congratulations on making an announcement no one will read.

I got a personal tl;dr, so I can knowingly say: Congrats bela and all the other non-bela BC members.

-Bama (Wait, it's not Halloween anymore is it?)

It's a cleverly disguised war announcement. Who it is against, you will never find out until the war screen lights up with the fury of a thousand fireballs from above!

Also: to mah mathiasan fwend.

I didn't read a single gorram gorram in that announcement.

You can't take the sky from me > You can't stop the signal

Gorrammit you're right! Hurry, to the edit box! I gotta make sure to gorram my gorrammed language up a bit.



That one goes in our war announcements.

congrats on the growth

Watch out for those dirty Reavers, eh Congrats on the growth, may you continue to succeed.

No soup for me I guess.

D:

Congrats Browncoats! Now get more members gorramit!

You can have some alcohol though.



We're going to. You just wait and see.

If they're outta gorrams then we're all humped.

Keep on keepin' on, Browncoats.

All of a sudden i have anew favourite alliance!!!

Congratulations on your continued flying and stuff.

Thank god you've started using a darker blue, it no longer hurts my precious eyes. ._.

Didn't read the announcement itself though but congratulations or whatever anyways.

Here's to you, Browncoats.

I'll be in my bunk.

I figure I like blue, people like black, so why not put the two together eh?

That's a mighty fine announcement you fellers have yourselves. I'd sure like to meet the Jayne of your outfit.

o/ BC

Congrats! As a member of a small alliance, I know how precious every bit of growth becomes. Nice work!


And stop stealing my lines, no soup for YOU!

I'm sorry, I did not realize that you created that line. Terribly sorry.
