"This year we're seeing that no-one is prepared to step in and stand on Grämlins, but at least the main power groupings of the day are not supporting their action directly."

This would be more convincing if the Supergrievances people weren't propping up Gremlins by preventing anyone from helping IRON. People have simply gotten more subtle about being unkind to other players, not better about it. "We're not doing it" is the battle cry of today, but there is also the whispered, "if YOU try to stop it we'll hammer you." No, the world isn't any better. The meanness is just masked better.

The official term for this day is Sunset Day. This marks my 2nd in the Entente, but hundreds of my other comrades in arms the Viridian culture runs deep in us, and we have great feel for the affect the disbandment had on the members both present and retired from the Entente, and you'd better believe no power will ever be strong enough to inflict that result on us again.

There are many around in this game who wished us dead, and a few who actually acted on that. To them I say look at us now, we are Viridia, and we are more powerful than we ever were before.

Hard to believe that was 3 years ago. The Viridicide was something that really helped shape my political views on bob, it made me leave the Initiative for ONOS and GUARD and showed me the corruption the was deep in that power structure.

One of the things that drew me to Viridia was the history of the Viridicide and how it shaped me as a ruler on bob and I could not be prouder of being a Viridian today.

Supergrievances already is the hegemony. That's pretty much clear. Also, they're totally propping up Gramlins. Doesn't bother me much because all it's really doing is killing Gramlins.

Nice to see you talking about something other than Gremlins (well, almost ), even if you did apparently get the name of the day wrong. Is it Viridia Day or Sunset Day?

"Sunset Day" is the official name. Culture is not a stat and therefore Bob has trouble keeping track of it

We've called it 'Viridia Day' in Seria since the Viridicide – starting out as a somewhat mournful day reminding everyone how even a great alliance can fall if betrayed by its friends, it stuck even after VE came back (whereas I suspect most VE nations celebrate the reformation date). As I briefly mentioned in last year's entry (which was mostly about Karma and other happenings on the same date):

"Viridian flags are flown from public buildings on this day, although since the reformation, Viridia Day is more celebratory".

Naturally, within VE they have different names and celebrations to the Serian national ones.

Never again.

Situation 1: GGA wants VE rolled, so they get all their allies together and PZI the lot of them.

Situation 2: Gre wants IRON rolled, so their allies leave them on the field to gradually bleed their membership count while IRON begins to rebuild and hold other alliances to their agreements

Clearly the same

This is one of many incidents that make me glad I found this game fairly late.

Never forget, and be ever vigilant. Long live Viridia.

In the words of The Goods: NEVER AGAIN!

Glad to see you're doing well.

The post you quoted does not state that the two instances you highlighted are the same, so what are you getting at?

I am glad that the Entente is still alive and kicking, and even more honoured for being to able to work with the people of Viridia.

This includes you Bob.

Happy "Viridia Day"!

We know who won that war in the end.

Supergrievences will become the new hegemony? wake up and smell the green 1up mushrooms matey it happened months ago.

Viridia came back from the dead, and is now stronger than ever – sixth strongest in the world

Viridia is the seventh strongest in planet Bob as Pacifica have done their end of terms.

VE has prevailed and will prevail no matter what the odds.

We have god looking over us.

:nuke: Hail Viridia :nuke:
