A Soviet Attack Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Our Forums Our statistics (impressive, I know) irc.coldfront.net #SLCB Greetings! The Seaworthy Liberian Cardboard Boxes was founded on the 7th of October, 2008. In the days after, the founders of this great alliance completed a number of neccessary tasks. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly for a young alliance, a treaty was signed which would ensure the protection of SLCB for generations to come; that protection would come from Vanguard, to whom we owe our security. Next, the Charter of the SLCB was finalised, and a flag, as shown at the top of this passage, was designed. Finally, on the 27th of October, the existance of the Seaworthy Liberian Cardboard Boxes was officially announced to the world. And therefore, on this fine day, I stand before you and welcome you to join the ranks of the Seaworthy Liberians. "Why should I", I hear you ask? Well, read on, dear fellow. Are you a young nation? We can offer you get rich quick schemes, in the form of tech deals which we will organise for you; all you have to do is send the tech where we tell you to, and earn yourself a few million dollars along the way. If you don't have experience with that kind of thing, or with the game in general, never fear! We do, and we'll give you all the advice you need to grow your nation, and to find your feet in this confusing world we call Cybernations. If you're an older nation, we can offer you all the tech deals you want, and furthermore, if you have experience in this game, or even if you're just willing to learn, you may get the chance to prove yourself as a military officer, a diplomat, or any one of many other opportunities. Joining our ranks will ensure your protection from opportunistic attackers, and you will be greeted by a friendly and fun community. To join, simply click here and register on our forums, then follow the instructions found here to apply. For more assistance, there's usually someone in our IRC channel at #SLCB (irc.coldfront.net) who'll be willing to help.

A Soviet Attack Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well it all started on a tour of Europe. Me and my buddy were supposed to be boarding a plane to Ljubljana but sadly we got on the wrong plane, and since Liberian Airways are somewhat lax in terms of security, no-one noticed that we were on the wrong plane until it was too late. Turned out we were on a plane headed for Monrovia, which is in Liberia for all you ignoramuses. Well a few hours later we landed in Monrovia and the airport wasn't all that great, and it was really hot, so we bought some of those handheld battery powered fans, but they broke pretty quickly so we thought 'hey, we'll go for a swim'. Fortunately for us, Monrovia is on the coast, so we headed to the beach, avoiding all the sounds of gunfire (Liberia was in the middle of a civil war at the time and we didn't want to get shot or anything). By the time we got to the beach, after getting lost several times, it was already dark, and we'd heard that sharks prowled the water by night, so we just went to find somewhere to sleep. Eventually we found a hotel that wasn't too dilapidated, and so we went in, and got a room. Like alot of places, they insisted upon taking our passports, which seemed fine so we handed them over and went to bed. It was pretty hot and the fan didn't really do much so I opened a window in my room and that didn't really help much either. Point is, it was hot. Anyway, like I said, there was a civil war, and sadly it turned out that the receptionist for the hotel we were staying at was a member of a rebel faction, and while we slept she sold our passports in order to buy more guns or grenades or whatever. Naturally this was a bit distressing for us so me and my friend decided to go find our nation's embassy, which took a whole day and by the time we found it we were very tanned, and without any passports, our embassy refused to believe that we weren't just local Liberian scam artists. So no help there. We headed back down to the shore to ponder upon our situation, but on the way, we found two unguarded cardboard boxes. Lucky days, we thought! So we took them, but we set off an alarm and had to run all the way to the beach being chased by the cardboard box merchant, who it turns out had been pioneering a form of floating cardboard. By the time we got to the beach the guy had summoned up quite a mob and we were being chased by about 50 people. So then we just waded into the sea, opened up our cardboard boxes (they were in collapsed form when we found them), and to our amazement (bear in mind, at this time we were unaware of the floating cardboard), they were seaworthy! So we climbed inside our respective cardboard boxes and used our shirts as makeshift sails, and then sailed away while the angry mob could only shake their fists, since although they had a large number of cardboard boxes with which they could have chased us, not one of them was wearing a shirt to use as means of propulsion. From then on it was a simple matter of sailing to Koblenz , of all places, and resuming our tour of Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
