omg i won. or at least came in 4th.

i'm not drunk. i'm psychologically unbalanced.

There's an astounding level of baww'ing in this thread. Even by OWF Lolteen standards. /hali fark

I literally dont understand this announcement. But hali to the new TF Council anyway.

I fully endorse and/or support whatever product this thread is meant to announce. /hali? //doomed? ///DOOMED!

I think it's very much in the spirit of TE. Minimal lines to be drawn. Getting to fight for what we believe is the right reason rather than just having to because of a treaty. Not to say that we dont have friends that will take precedence, however.

We, the alliance of Farkistan (hereby referred to as Fark) on this day, 01/06/10, announce that any alliance that comes under attack for the remainder of this round of Cybernations: Tournament Edition (Hereby referred to as Planet Steve) will be subject to protection from Fark under what we will commonly refer to as a Planet Steve-Wide Optional Defense Pact (ODP). Any designated or elected Government official for the embattled alliance may approach any member of the Fark Government: Rollo, lolanae and l2eaper to request that we provide military assistance. The Fark Government will take any such requests under advisement and will render a decision within 48 hours. Signed, Fark TE Gov: Rollo Lolanae l2eaper

I highly support this announcement, product and/or service. Whatever it may be.. oh and..

best.erection.ever.

I represent a group called the Browncoats, founded on the belief that its members should be free. We don't like giving orders or muzzling our members... this isn't the case with most alliances. Why should you join us? Because unfortunately, a lot of people look at unaligned nations as target practice. Rather unneighborly, but that's life out here. We can help get you started, give you tips and tricks on playing the game, and give you a fuller gaming experience. Join up at http://z3.invisionfree.com/Browncoats and if you do, Have fun and good luck! Browncoats Charter Here's how it is. The Earth was used up, so we found ourselves a new Earth. A new Bob, specifically. We settled new nations and proliferated across the globe. The central nations got together and formed Alliances. They decided that everyone ought to unite under their rule. A couple fools tried to stop them, but it was no use. Out here on the raggedy edge, cleverness will get you a nation and a gun will help you keep it. The mission is simple: construct infrastructure, develop technologies, and keep flying. Basic Rights, Freedoms and Responsibilities We're not gonna tell you what to do. You can say what you like here on our turf, and we'll uphold your right to do that here. In the greater world, though, your words have consequences and we ain't backin' you up if you done get yourself in some pointless drama. You're free to do what you like, but that includes the freedom to get ZIed while we sit back and laugh. Membership in Browncoats Anybody can apply to join, and the process ain't too rough. If you get in, you start out as an Independent Browncoat, and probably want to become a Confederate Browncoat. Independents aren't lesser people. You'll be under our protection, welcome to participate in any shindigs we happen upon, and if you stay an Independent forever you'll probably never know the difference. You'll be a Browncoat either way, it's just some of us don't like to trust new folks until they give us a reason. Confederates get to see what we're up to a little better than Independents, when it comes to foreign affairs and such things. They can also write up new ideas or changes to old ones, and submit them for a vote to see if it's what other Browncoats believe in. Anybody can vote, but you gotta be a Confederate to start one up. The way you go from an Independent to a Confederate is just to stick around a while, make sure everybody knows your name and what you're all about. Soon enough you'll get a tap on the shoulder. Browncoats Government The government of the Browncoats is split up into four offices, each of which has the right to appoint members to official positions to give them a hand. Any Confederate Browncoat can run for office. The Prime Minister keeps tabs on the other cabinet members, has the final word on all major decisions, and represents us internationally. The Home Minister is responsible for recruiting new members, and helping them out however necessary. The Home Minister is also considered the chief adviser to the Prime Minister. The Foreign Minister manages our relations with other alliances by negotiating treaties and making sure we've got knowledgeable ambassadors to keep a channel of communication open with our allies. The Defense Minister keeps our military strong enough to defend our members, oversees Generals to keep the troops organized, and in times of war is in charge of coordinating our efforts. Order of Succession If the Prime Minister can't do the job anymore, the Home Minister will take over, followed by the Foreign Minister and then the Defense Minister. The Prime Minister can appoint members to fill any other abandoned post. Decision Making Parliament: All Confederate Browncoats are given a voice in Parliament, where they can debate freely and submit their big ideas for change. So long as two other people like an idea, we'll put it to a vote. The Prime Minister can veto anything passed in Parliament, so long as it's done before the vote is up. If another member of cabinet wants to overturn the veto, a second vote will go down requiring an 80% majority. Pass or fail, the second vote can't be challenged by anyone. Elections: Elections for cabinet positions begin over the first weekend of every April, August, and December. On Saturday and Sunday any Confederate Browncoat can announce their candidacy for a Cabinet position. Through the next five weekdays we'll hold debates and gives speeches and such. Finally, at midnight on Friday the polls will open until midnight on Sunday, giving all Browncoats time to vote, with the winners announced on Monday. Warfare Browncoats want to be peaceful -- really, we do -- but we're not about to lie down and roll over for anybody. Defensive War: If a Browncoat is attacked, we'll ask the aggressor for an apology and reparations. If they can't manage that, or if they just ignore us, we'll put them in anarchy before we ask again. Aggressive War: We're very much against aggressive wars. Mostly it's just bullying, and we're not interested in establishing our dominance over defenseless people. Browncoats do not advocate aggressive warfare. However, if a Browncoat has a bone to pick with somebody outside of an alliance, we're not going to try very hard to stop them. We're not their parents, and they're not children, so our members can take care of their own politics however they see fit. The catch is, if a Browncoat picks a fight with an unaligned nation without getting our approval, we ain't bailing them out 'less the war ends and the attacked becomes the attacker. When it comes to nations in alliances, it'd be suicide to attack them in a way that would prohibit your friends from backing you up, so for your own safety we just can't allow it. Raiding technology is prohibited 'less you run it by the Defense Minister first. Nukes: Nations what are capable of maintaining nukes are highly recommended to do so, but again, we can't force you to do nothin'. Nuclear first strikes are forbidden, but if some feller with more uranium than brains gets it in his skull to make our cities glow at night, we will retaliate in kind. Amending This Document Any Confederate Browncoat can propose changes to the charter, just like anything else. It's not exactly a sacred document, it's just the basic set of rules we currently live by, so if you don't like it then you had better do something to fix it.
