Posted by: W_A_R Nov 15 2006, 05:52 AMReport from Spy – Codename ‘Groucho’
Hey! It’s me, W_A_R! The disguise fooled you, didn’t it!
Well I have arrived under cover of darkness into Stratus. They have swimming pools. Sadly they are all frozen over. It is cold here and the sanctions appear to be biting deep. There is not much electricity for heating.
I’ve decided I should dress like the locals. Fishnet stockings are decidedly uncomfortable and I had a bugger of a time trying to find stilettos my size. I should get some form of compensation for my sacrifice. I have only twisted my ankles five times.
The local people are very friendly. I have been taken in to a young woman’s humble but comfortable home. She offered me a meal and drink (from her frugal larder). I don’t remember much after that. I woke in an alley and seem to have lost my trousers and the cash I had on me. Lucky I put some away safely in a hidden spot. I hope I meet that girl again though. Perhaps she can help me find my pants.
I have located the official residence of the Despotic Leader ‘Stratus’. He should be tried for his crimes against good architecture. I see where all the electricity goes. I will see if I can get myself in the palace tomorrow.
Wish me luck and send me carrot cake.

I thought you were wearing fishnet stockings......
Posted by: W_A_R Nov 15 2006, 01:03 PM....under my trousers .... it was getting cold. and um.... the mini-skirt kept catching on my suspender belt.... - I will try harder next time. It's a bit like wearing thong underwear....it takes a bit of getting used to......

It's me again.
First off let me say how much I admire women as a gender. What possesses them to wear shoes like this is beyond me. I think it is some wicked plot by the world society of podiatrists. Plus they are very poor for walking on snow and ice. My bum has not been so wet and cold since that nasty incident in the icecream truck.
I saw that young woman that befriended me the other night. When she saw me she ran away. I suspect that the Stratus Secret Police might be sniffing around and frightened her. I must be more vigilant in my cover.
I have been monitoring the comings and goings of Leader Stratus's palace. Have I mentioned the architecture? Bloody appalling! Anyhow, there seems to be a regular flow of young women and men going in. I am curious what for. I will try to mingle with some of them and slip into the palace.
My suspicions are that the nuclear silo is in the palace grounds. At least that is what the tourist signs say. Stratus seems pretty proud of it. His palace guards are wearing T-shirts with 'Have you seen my Nuclear Deterrent?' on the front.
By the way, the food is pretty scarce and bland, so thanks for the carrot cake. Please send more.
Signing off for now.

The following Logs refer to an event known as 'The Stratus Incident' which occurred in the formative period of the now defunct Global Organisation for Liberty and Defense. Similar to that Yellow Team alliance, many of the nations involved are no longer, however some still prosper in new homes. These logs have been declassified due to the effluxation of time.
Notes have been recorded to retain the context of the primary Logs.

Posted by: Silent_01 Nov 15 2006, 12:43 AMTo:Silent_01 From:stratus 11/14/2006 6:24:41 PM Subject: Urgent!!!
I am but moments away from pushing the Red Button. I'm sick of this game anyways, so send me 20 tech or you will experience massive destruction.
Does anyone know how I should deal with this? I don't feel like losing any infra at the moment. He is half my strength, but that 1 nuke is under the control of a rogue nation who will dispense it if he wants to...So, any suggestions?
Edit: I went into peace mode cause he threatened me again, asking for more. I am a coward.
Edit2: Well, now I was able to speak back to him in a rather aggressive way I am also sanctioning him.
Posted by: W_A_R Nov 15 2006, 03:48 AMWelcome to the world of nuclear brinkmanship.
The rogue has no alliance. He has no trades. He has a nuke. The leader is bored and doesn't care. He is in 'peace mode'.
Silent is protective of her gains (this is her weakness). No threats from the Alliance will make a bored and suicidal rogue back down.
Sound familiar?
This is a game so he has nothing to lose. All he has to do is declare and whittle Silent away until exhausted.
So what do you do as an Alliance and a nation?
1. Silent continues to be in fear and stay in peace mode.
2. Pay the blackmail.
3. The alliance sends threats of retribution. You can't engage him in peace mode.
4. Silent buys 2 nukes (brinkmanship at its best).
5. Do nothing. If you get nuked - nuke him back. It is a game.
6. Sanction the rogue.
7. A combination of the above.
Silent - I'd arm myself and call his bluff - what is it but a little set back in your single-minded objective of CyberNation domination.
Cramz - You should sent a diplomatic message that GOLD doesn't negotiate with blackmailers and state that he is on a watching brief and as soon as he shows his hand (moves to a war footing) - he will be engaged.
Place a sanction (if you can).
Select several players whose responsiblity is to monitor the rogues activities (across the time-zones and in the rogue's strength range). Let us know who they are. As soon as one observes the change, they are to engage and notify the Alliance and ask the others to engage. This should include Silent.
Those that are to engage should be compensated to bolster their military (but not for their economic losses as a consequence - this is the 'price' of being in an alliance). Compensation for (infra/tech losses should a war breakout should be provided.
A support network to provide aid needs to be established (and aid slots kept free for this purpose).
Just a suggestion.
***W_A_R goes off to get another coffee***
Posted by: W_A_R Nov 15 2006, 04:56 AM***W_A_R finishes his coffee, sucking the gritty bits through his teeth***
Cramz - I am happy to volunteer to be a rogue monitor as they are in my range (albeit somewhat stronger).
***Turns to imaginary friend***
Are my teeth yellowing? It could be seen as a sign of commitment to the team....
Posted by: Cramzpatio Nov 15 2006, 04:59 AMLol, W_A_R I would love for you to keep an eye on them. Righ now there is nothing we can do beyond the sanctions that are already on them since they are peace mode. We will reassess later.
Posted by: W_A_R Nov 15 2006, 05:13 AM***W_A_R dons his well worn Groucho Marx disguise and heads off to spy***
I wonder if he has a swimming pool?

I always had that gnawing feeling that something wasn't quite right with WarriorConcept; I just couldn't put my finger on it.
Now I know.......
ManUre -
I swallowed my first nuke from a rogue called 'Stratos' around the end of November 2006. He was initially threatening Silent_01 with it. I believe she owes me a debt of gratitude.
It was also what precipitated my Carrot Cake Journals, so blame him.
EDIT - getting my dates right.

Have fun in sampling the Real Life, WC.

*W_A_R looks to the new arrivals entering through the large Black gate which admits those to the Black Realm. The gate boasts many scars from countless assaults, yet remains a daunting edifice to all that gaze upon it.
I personally welcome PLUS, one of The Order of the Black Rose's most recent Writ De Credo signatories, to the Black Sphere. There has been a great migration to Black and I encourage all newcomers to work towards strengthening the bonds of Black Brotherhood. I am confident that PLUS will make an excellent addition.
Like others, I invite your diplomats to call upon us in our Black Keep. You will find our Diplomatic enclave a safe and welcoming place for all.

Admin refuses to Supplicate.
And, yes. I've asked. Twice.
Now that would make Page trials an interesting spectacle!
-
*W_A_R smiles warmly at Toich clasping his hand in a firm handshake and then clapping his back.
Welcome, friend. It is good to see you once again.
I have my eye on this fine piece of horseflesh and wonder who her owner is. I think she could carry me and my battle armour with aplomb.
I haven't felt so covetous since I spied Diskord cleaning his sword.
Nevertheless, let us sit and have some tea. We can talk of common friends and enemies whilst we wait to see who owns the object of my current desires.
-
So, yeah, you should join consider joining a Citadel alliance. But keep in mind, we're also quite difficult to get into. Not as hard as OBR, though. I think you have to be a Messiah to get into THEIR alliance
I can't speak for the rest of the Knights, Squires and Pages of the Black Rose, but I'm not a Messiah; I'm just a very naughty boy.

Puts a new spin on the saying 'Having your mouth washed out with SOAP', doesn't it.
May SOAP forever have suds and stay fresh.
Congratulations.

OOC: I liked your analysis on the 'de-construction' of the Purge flag.
IC: I believe Purge is making the right steps to salvage itself. Time will tell.

Essentially the 'cyberverse' upon which our Nations exist is what you wish to make of it. The land mass structure is similar and that's all. Each individual nation's history is entirely a personal view. The interaction between Nation Rulers is what they wish to create, just as the arrangement of Alliances is based on individual and collective agreement.
It is best to have some latitude with how people interact in the 'cyberverse'. Some need reference points to 'our other reality' to aid in explaining how they feel about their experiences on 'Planet Bob Digiterra'. This shouldn't be frowned upon, nor people chastised for making 'earthly' references provided it is in context to the mechanics of the 'cyberverse'.
EDIT - All this prompts the old chestnut about 'cyberversal ethics and morals'.
-
I heard that Bob likes to use his surname occasionally: 'Digiterra'

Regardless of how issues have played out in the past for the purple eagle, Great Britain remains the founder of Legion and deserves to be recognised as such. He, more than anyone else, has a right to celebrate the anniversary of his own creation.
Congratulations to Legion on the achievement. May your fortunes allow you to return to the pre-eminent position you once held.
-
My congratulations to Specto on his election as Premier. May your leadership be unencumbered by the drama that other Alliances seem to gravitate to.
Lefty, may your retirement bring you more time to enjoy the strong but supple hands of Ingrid the Masseuse.

*Page W_A_R bows his head respectfully and then looks to the gathered throng.
I am very pleased to see the expansion of the Writ De Credo, particularly to those Alliances that I have had the pleasure of working with.
*W_A_R unsheathes his blade and raises it into the air, the name 'Venom' reflected in the sharpened steel.
Long live Her Majesty Queen AterAtra, the Black Rose! Long live the Order!

All humour is lost on your dull wit.
And I like to think of myself as a standard-breaker. I don't fall into any of those categories, because I'm cool like that.
I'm sure that we can create a special category designed to fit you and Josef Thorne in. I just not feeling clever or creative enough to come up with one yet.
On topic - nice work and I'm sure there is room for expansion.
-
Congratulations to the AlphaOmegans!
That is a GOLDen moment, for sure!
-
I miss people being able to have opposing opinons without runnng the risk of war.
I miss a certain sense of fun in the game.
I miss OOC most of all. Apparently there is no OOC anymore. Or at least no "not in game" anymore.
*W_A_R embraces his old friend, patting his back as he does so.
Such wisdom is a rare commodity on Digiterra these days. It is something that needs to be treasured and nutured in others.
-
Whats that suppose to mean?
Nice job, CK.
I believe it is a slight on former GOLD members. A rather regretable comment really as some fine folk are former GOLD members.
EDIT - one too many 'really' can really spoil the real meaning of a post. Really.
-
*W_A_R didn't make the list.
I am pleased that Purge is trying to repair itself. Well done.
EDIT - A missed 't'.
-
Oh my God! They Killed Korey!

As an ambassador to Purge I intend to take an active interest in what transpires. I trust that The Phoenix Federation will remedy its interests in this matter with the minimum of imposition to Purge members and their individual nations.
