The 11th Year of Order's First Sing-Along Triannual Report My Emperor, His Honored Regent and Imperial Officers, Honored Allies, Respected Enemies, Indeterminate Neutrals, Friends, Detractors, and my fellow Pacificans: Our "Esteemed" Counselor Bilrow has been directed by the Dungeon Master Emperor to prepare and present a report on the Order's rebuilding progress as a result of the Doom War. This report was deemed too dull to release to the general public, and as such, I was asked to codify it into Sing Along form. The results are not much better, but here it is: Y11.T1.MA - The CN Sound Sir Paul Imperator Populusque Pacificus March 28, 2015 11 Years of Order

Nah, we're doing cash-up-front with people ordering direct from the factory, so anti-up now if you want in. The other alternative, of course, is all of us cranky old veterans form The Brotherhood of the Traveling Swim Briefs, where we mail it from person to person and share them equally over the new year. The briefs will, of course, fit perfectly, flatter our figures, help us fall in love, and give us much needed closure.

To be fair, he uses that tattoo every day. I'm only going to use the swim briefs three or four times a week.

I bet the 2008 Schatt would have been willing to pay $100 for a prank, but time and tide makes moderates of us all. Anyway, this is the same company that makes the water polo suits for UCLA and Cal, so at $45 it's a bargain considering the hours you can use it before requiring replacement. By the way, I don't think you regret that Vox rose you got tattooed on the small of your back. Very tasteful.

It's funny because it's true: I lost my virginity as a direct result of giving an amazing presentation on transportation planning in the Southern San Joaquin Valley. The ladies (and gents, for that matter) love someone with smarts and follow-through. Nothing demonstrates that quite like a codified set of rules for a flag you willed into the material plane.

Hi, author of the Pacifican flag code here. I wanted to let you know that the Order has a long tradition of incorporating graphical elements of the flag into apparel. I'm currently thinking of a particularly fetching jacket worn by Hugo Chavez... anyway it's not uncommon and not contrary to the flag code. Indeed, when I represent the Order at the Lake Berryessa open water swim next year, I'll be wearing these budgie smugglers proudly. They identify the wearer as a member of the Order, provide minimal drag and full mobility. I will grant that the Order was a much different place in 2008, but while it is a violation of the flag code to use the flag itself in a disrespectful manner, wearing the flag as a design element is not.

Well, that escalated quickly... Actually, they're well suited for the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_bear_plunge]Polar Bear Plunge[/url]

An announcement from the Clerk of the New Pacific Order Francograd – To celebrate Boxing Day, the New Pacific Order would like to get you into some new briefs, swim briefs that that is. The New Pacific Order has partnered with Zumo USA to bring you officially licensed NPO swimwear that provides endurance and efficiency that can only be described as Pacifican. Constructed from luxuriously soft Poly/PBT fabric imported Italy, this fully-lined water-polo swim brief is tough enough for full-contact activities, but versatile and comfortable enough for swimming and diving. Whether turning laps at the pool, stealing a dry pass, or sneaking onto an enemy cruiser with just a dive knife clenched in your teeth, the NPO brief provides maximum mobility with full coverage. There are two options available for those who wish to sport the Pacifican briefs: One proclaiming the NPO’s motto of “Peace, Strength, Prosperity” while the other allows Franco’s banner to shine unimpeded. If you wish to show solidarity with the Pacifican cause, get your NPO swimwear today. Click here to Order NPO swimwear: Endurance, Efficiency, Excellence [OOC]Please note that the shop closes January 20, and all merchandise will be shipped to your billing address. While the fabric is Italian, the suits are designed and manufactured in Northern California, so if your country is currently under an American embargo, we cannot sell to you. You are responsible for any import duties your country may levy upon the product. If you have questions, please PM Sir Paul[/OOC]

I've always considered any nation aiding my enemy fair game. This policy has a VietFAN vibe that's really working for me now. Now excuse me while I fiddle.

You didn't sing your declaration? I am disappointed, but not surprised.

We put the world on notice regarding that two trimesters ago: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f9R_7DLZb_A I can't help it if you don't subscribe to my newsletter.

Nah, we just have a feeling you'd bash our brains in a year from now if we put a stop on this war. With respect to the lulzy issue, you are talking about an alliance which leads the world in sing-along reports.

Yes, yes, yes, everyone wants to talk about the words... What about the song?

So the Just Cause is "just 'cause?" Such is the world in which we live.

Much to my wife's chagrin, I belong to her and Pacifica, and to be fair, Pacifica was first.

Maestro’s Final Sing-Along Report in the 10th Year of Order My Emperor, His Honored Regent and Imperial Officers, Honored Allies, Respected Enemies, Indeterminate Neutrals, Friends, Detractors, and my fellow Pacificans: 11 years ago today, Franco made a play for control of the Pacific, and in the Five Days that shook the world, created Order from Chaos. Today, we begin the Feast of Pacific Revolution, remembering our past, examining our present, and preparing for our future. To mark the occasion, I've prepared one last sing-along for this year, inspired by the nations that have joined the Order during her 10th year.

Stars falling from the Northern sky? Are you sure it's Pacifica that should be worried? Dun DUN duuunnnnn!

The Emperor has decreed that a meteor shower should happen tonight to celebrate the freedom of Pacifica. Those in the Pacific Time Zone should look up between 11pm and 1am to behold the heavens responding to our Emperor's will.

Tywin, I know you know the difference between a country and an alliance.

I'll just leave this here: em·bar·go emˈbärgō/ noun 1. an official ban on trade or other commercial activity with a particular country. "an embargo on grain sales" verb 2. impose an official ban on (trade or a country or commodity). "the country has been virtually embargoed by most of the noncommunist world" EDIT: formatting

Part of the terms of the Disorder War requires a 100 day embargo on many NPO bank nations. Since the damage of the war continues, so do the sing-alongs.

Maestro’s Third Sing-Along Embargo Report My Emperor, His Honored Regent and Imperial Officers, Honored Allies, Respected Enemies, Indeterminate Neutrals, Friends, Detractors, and my fellow Pacificans: With the embargo still continuing, the rightfully respected and feared Pacific Bank is hindered, but not sidelined. However, we are Pacificans because the gold we chase after is not earthly, but ethereal. If you too chase ethereal gold, please consider making a donation to Pacificans in need.

We decided to get back to our roots and remind ourselves why we are Pacificans. We give to her, she gives to us. You can give to her, too, by donating.

Tywin, everything I need to know about your analysis and inside information I learned from this post. But don't worry, I'm sure our current Emperor and new Regent will walk Pacifica back from the brink of reactionary neo-imperialism that Emperor Brehon infected our beloved Order with and we'll return to the glorious days of a Francoist state. Regardless, there were many people wishing us luck in rebuilding in our surrender thread. This gives them an opportunity to take the next step. Besides, you never know how things will turn out. People surrendered to Pacifica when we were under Karma terms, perhaps they'll donate to Pacifica under the oA terms.
