Change your AA on the CN world forums to something other than RIA.

But... I'm the IA...

BEHOLD. Our latest and greatest weapon! [img]http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c127/freeyourmind775/RIAVICTORY_zpsb6b61cf4.jpg[/img]

WOOT. Gratz to us!

Viva La RIA!!!

Ok, I wasn't clear enough, my terms were not real terms. They were just a joke... I literally just copy-pasted the terms some dude from loss threw at us and changed LOSS to RIA. Did not mean to freak everyone out.

The RIA will gladly accept your surrenders. Please do the following: 1. Change you AA to "RIA POW". 2. PM all nations attacking you informing them you are now a RIA POW. 3. Decom Soldiers to 20% 4. Decom ALL tanks, aircraft and cruise missiles. 5. Decom ALL military improvements. Thanks EDIT: PROTIP: These were joke terms. Please, don't take them seriously. They are just a copy-paste of terms thrown at us.

I think this video sums it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNnomLYnGMg

Hopefully, I'll continue to been Kane in elections.

Finally, now, the important thing is to make sure that Rodrod is always ready to play LoL.

I think skyrim will be released.

Is it really that big of a deal to want them to either remove the offending messages (still up as of now), or to show the rest of maroon that it was not intended or sanctioned by copy/pasting the apology in the message? I mean, if it had been us or an ally that had done this, I'd all over the senate rep until he took it down. Because things like posting messages over senate that denouncing past allies, or even other alliances that have just made their own decisions is outright disrespectful and there is no cause for it. I guess I may feel this way because I'm "new" to gov and the OWF (I was in RIA gov a few years back, but left to goto college), but I think that if there are disputes between alliances and they aren't going to be dealt with in private, they should at least be kept to the OWF. There is no reason to involve more people than necessary. And for the record, if it sounded like I was demanding, it was unintentional. I was simply asking if they would be willing to send the apology over senate message.

[quote name='Devilyn Caster' timestamp='1319414989' post='2831206'] Wargarden is a fantastic senator. He is a great leader, active, and all around great guy. I've known him for four years in this game and this is the FIRST thing I've ever seen him catch flak for. So I would respectfully ask you to take your judgements elsewhere. [/quote] He may be a good leader and all around great guy (I don't know, I've never met him), however the first impression that not only I, but much of maroon received of him, when he made his first post to the many nations of maroon, is of someone who would publicly denounce a former ally in a very hateful fashion without consulting with his own alliance leadership, immediately after requesting that he be re-elected. For many people within maroon, this is their first time seeing or receiving an interaction from him, so I ask you, how should we view and judge him based on what we know from his first few messages?

I know that I was personally offended by the messages, and other members of the RIA were as well. Just the fact that a nation on Maroon would denounce another maroon nation over maroon mass message is something that all maroon should take offense to. It doesn't happen. Maroon is united by color, and for someone who was elected to make such a statement about not only another maroon nation, but a recent ally is deplorable. If someone is going to insult another alliance, they should do it on the OWF, where the alliance can defend themselves from your accusations, sending it as a mass message across their entire team is nothing more than dirty politics in an attempt to garner support for their own cause, and discredit others. I support TLR's right to try and hold a senate seat, as they are on maroon, but I think that in the future they may want to pick someone who is either more responsible, or respects their government enough to not send mass messages based on personal prejudices.
