[quote name='Caliph' timestamp='1289954129' post='2515379'] How can you be sure you talked with the "real" Tri of SLCB I had trouble finding one who was not being impersonated by Goby That said, congrats to Hydra, hope things work out for you. [/quote] There is only one Triumvir with 3 personalities. Obviously

Quite the seaworthy announcement.

Goodbye sir

[quote name='Lezrahi' timestamp='1282686470' post='2429897'] While nothing in the OP is by any means a lie, not all of it appears to be quite correct, nor is it quite up to date. While I will not post any logs out of respect for those that I have kept in contact with, I will attempt to fill any gaps and clarify things to some degree. I suppose that I will begin by reminding everyone that this second incarnation of \m/ formed as a result of a merge between Bel Air, Rage Co., and Internet Superheroes, all of which, I believe, were prominent Pink Sphere alliances whose roots were in the first incarnation of \m/. Throughout the second \m/'s existence, there has been a divide among the membership, creating no less than two internal factions, at least one of which has not been definitively named among us (and which I shall apply a name myself): the Futurist faction, who favours a more orderly \m/ that is unified and maintains its power through the cooperation of its \m/embership, and whose goals are to create a stable \m/ with a high average nation strength and an effective growth program(s), and the Rage Co. faction, who advocates for a more chaotic and classic structure of \m/ that is based solely on the old "Ruining the Game" mantra (reminiscent of the first \m/), and which places little emphasis on growth and cooperation, and more on simple tear acquisition. As the name suggests, most in the latter faction came from the now defunct Rage Co., and may have comprised most of \m/'s higher tiers. The former, however, has been the faction consistently in power, at least for the time in which I was there. I, personally, supported the former faction initially, until the GGA attacktorate fiasco. This factionalisation of \m/ has been a consistent hamper on the alliance's growth and stability. In recent history, this divide came to something of a head when Comrade Goby was expelled, which caused outrage among the Rage Co. elements due to Goby's high popularity and history among them. This led to a non-militaristic, but aggressive uprising within \m/, seemingly led chiefly by Caustic, who called for the impeachment of Emperor Marx, for Chief Stubbs to replace him (actually, from what I hear, he wanted Stubbs to be E\m/peror, but the chances of that happening, to my understanding, were always slim, and thus translated into a triu\m/virate position), and, I believe, for a radical restructuring of the \m/ charter (don't quote me on that). The impeachment movement went through, despite the lack of the \m/inistry. It was during this time that the \m/embership began to dwindle (I believe that it still is, in fact), the alliance losing close to twenty members. However, I am informed that Marx will, in fact, not be impeached at this time: the vote is around 80% in favour of him staying where he is, though at least one triu\m/virate position will have changed hands by the time \m/ restabilises because Gerald Meane has resigned it. The \m/inistry (which was literally emptied through all of this) will likely be largely refilled with what Rage Co. elements have decided to stay, though if this happens, it will naturally result in a continued internal divide, probably worse than before. Other than that, Swanfield's retelling of the intentions of d3filed and Millencolin, as well as those of myself and Goby are, for the most part, truthful: d3filed and Millencolin violated no laws outlined within the charter of \m/. Unfortunately, the expulsion of the \m/inisters during impeachment proceedings [i]was[/i] an illegal act, as \m/ law states that the \m/inisters must be allowed to remain within the alliance for the duration of said proceedings. In short, \m/ is undergoing a chaotic process of reform at the moment. [/quote] Pretty much correct, except for the fact that you switched around the goals of those factions and over simplified them.

Let me clear some things up. Swanfield maybe isn't the best person to say this but what he is saying is true. Marx has been up for impeachment twice by two different sets of ministers. Both those times he removed those that opposed him from gov or the alliance. He is not a good leader at all. The fact that many in the alliance are leaving due to his screwups say it all. Who I am to say this? I founded both \m/'s and have been in this alliance up until a few days ago when I got kicked out for "treason". I tried to talk things out with the government and have a solution to keep it going, but things didn't work out that way. For now I just really can't see things getting better for \m/, but who knows. I left and leave them to their fate, whatever it may be.

[quote name='Emperor Marx' timestamp='1282532053' post='2427173'] What am I hiding from exactly? There's nothing more to say here. You are most certainly welcome to continue to grandstand about nothing. [/quote] [img]http://i37.tinypic.com/20qb228.gif[/img] U mad you killed \m/? Yeah you mad.

[quote name='kevin32891' timestamp='1282520686' post='2427033'] Sorry Starfox you're no Corinan. [/quote] You lie!

[quote name='Hiro Nakara' timestamp='1282518746' post='2426999'] Does he really need to respond to the peanut gallery? I mean he's not obligated to do so. So why should he? I'm pretty confident Marx does not give a single worry or thought into majority of what folks have said here. [/quote] That's because Marx is an invalid that drives alliances into the ground.

Everything has pretty much been said. I like how they kick out a former Triumvir/Founder of both \m/'s (me) who didn't even do anything against the charter simply because change was needed. I mean you've all seen the idiotic acts \m/ has pulled. The GGA event and backing down was the final straw so why not have a legal change? But looks like our gov wanted to stay in power and decided to publicly expel loyal members and further ruin \m/'s (admittedly !@#$%*) PR. Who knows if there is hope for \m/ now? I'll still try to do something.

I loled once again. Don't worry brahs, we will fix our aesthetics soon enough.

[quote name='raasaa' timestamp='1282086945' post='2420542'] How many such rogues does it take for an alliance to be declared as a Rogue Alliance ?? [/quote] \m/ are rebels without a cause apparently My judgment? ROGUE ALLIANCE
