Firstly, let me start by expressing my great disappointment at this entire situation. Usurping the legitimately elected represeatives of Farkistan is a low move. Cable has played a large role in Farkistan, it is true, however this does not give him the right to take control in this manner. Kicking people out for questioning your authority, while not unexpected of someone like you Cable, is a pretty awful thing to do. You think you're safe now, Cable and 905, but just wait. Over time the people who support you will start to realize just how deluded you are. Unfortunately, when you find yourself all alone there will be no forgiveness from the rest of us. Carrying on in this way is very unbecoming for two people who have contributed so heavily to Fark's history. Allies of the former glorious Farkistan please do no give your support to these two rogues; their cause is not the right one to support. Bob and all his citizens deserve the chance at democracy, and the holy order of Farkistan has been blatently violated by the actions of a few. Little more could be done to make this situation any worse than it already is. Erections in Farkistan should be held sacred, and anyone who holds the elective process in any regard should be absolutely outraged.

For all your sakes, I'm going to ignore somewhere around 95% of this thread and pretend like this never happened. You're welcome. That being said, I'm super glad to see this treaty (for very obvious reasons). Good work, everyone Prozenz

Regardless of your feelings towards either alliance, it is always sad to see such historically close friends break apart. My condolences to all parties; may you always remember the good times that were shared.

This makes me very happy to see finally! my friends (and now allies) in NPO

Hooray us! This is a great treaty and stuff Mia

Moo will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies go out to all those whose lives he was a part of.

Happy hunting, my friends

Congrats everyone on your new positions, especially Atan It's great to see some new faces in gov this time around. 905 did a phenomenal job as Subby, but after almost a year and a half, I have no doubt he's ready to find a comfy hammock somewhere to retire to.

It is always sad to see old friends part ways; I have an enormous amount of respect for both of you. Good luck in the future. Sparta Umbrella

We were just a smidge late in announcing this, but we were busy trying to put together a new bookshelf, and it took several days to recover psychologically. [quote name='Tequila Mockingbird' timestamp='1328350371' post='2914380'] congrats tums [/quote] Teeqy

I couldn't think of a finer choice for Emperor and Regent. Congrats guys [size="1"]Baka, just remember, sometimes you just have to speak realllllly slow for Brehon[/size]

Delta told me he was retiring tomorrow, so you guys better be ready for it Delta

As much as we hate peace, I think most of us Farkers can say we had a lot of fun this war. I would like to extend a "thank you" to everyone who took the time to take themselves a little less seriously and who had some fun with us. Good luck rebuilding, everyone

[quote name='Princess Doomee' timestamp='1325432894' post='2890041'] Happy Anniversary FARK!!!!! I have picked out some really excellent antique wood but I feel it only proper that I present it to Tums and P3. [/quote] We are going to have to get a pair of tweezers to find that little splinter, huh?

Happy New Year everyone! I all my Farkers. It's been 3.5 years already, let's make it a few more. Congrats to this month's council as well!

[quote name='Brehon' timestamp='1323032475' post='2862545'] Silly Tums You know my dear, I do not back down from anything. Besides you sent Smontag and KosmoKenny to attack me. If you wanted lols, should have let them harass me here [/quote] Is that backtracking I see? Do Smontag and kenny really have you that scared? Poor NPO, scared witless by a few explosions

So Brehon, now that we've "stepped up to the plate", I see you're shying away from it

I am so very sorry for your loss. Dingo will be missed by everyone who knew him. R.I.P. Dingo

You boys are so cute when you try and puff out your chest like that. But really, this is getting just a little silly. As a member of Fark gov I can say with absolute confidence that we, at no point, had (or currently have) any intention of rolling Nordreich. Do we like the content we saw in the leaked screenshots? Absolutely not. Do we realize that it is OOC related and not a valid CB? Oh, most definitely. Anyone who has been allied to Fark knows (and this is important) that we don't go to war for OOC reasons. Sure we get riled up and wish we could hit little Timmy on the playground for being a turd, but at the end of the day it is what we actually do that matters, and in this case we have done nothing. Yes, our government members (note I'm not denying that he's a member of our government) might query our allies to vent our frustrations with something that we see that bothers us. That falls, at least to me, into the realm of ally communications. Yes, we were concerned when we saw the content of some of those screenshots, and frankly I was a bit confused. In the Q&A we had with Nordreich back in August/September in their embassy on our boards, we were told by members of their alliance/government that any form of racism/white supremacy/Nazi sympathizing, whether it be IC or OOC, was not tolerated in the least and that said member would be dealt with accordingly. To see screenshots of a Nordreich member calling a black woman !@#$%*s and apes and a thread dedicated to supporting the family of a very well known white supremacist who, we later find out, was a high ranking member of their alliance goes against what they had led us to believe nearly a year ago. It bothered us enough that when a member of Valhalla came to us we were frank with them. In those leaked query logs you guys have, scroll down a bit until you get to this line: [quote]01[01:17] <Crocodilly_Pontifex[Fark]> and that FARK will not associate with people who support white supremacists 01[01:18] <Crocodilly_Pontifex[Fark]> in any capacity[/quote] We weren't asking Valhalla to drop Nordreich so we could attack them. We want to know what people's stance on this is because we are concerned that OOC/IC lines might be getting crossed in very disturbing ways. We aren't looking to roll Nordreich for this any more than we would want to roll another alliance for having furries as members. When we got the news last night that Nordreich was circling the wagons in preparation for a Fark DoW we decided to have a little fun with it. At no point did we consider actually doing anything more than poke them with a stick here on the forums. We didn't not attack Nordreich because we don't have enough backing, and we didn't not attack them because we are spineless. We didn't do anything because OOC stuff isn't DoW-worthy. We knew the expectation was there for us to attack Nordreich for OOC reasons and we found it so funny we posted this with the intent of poking fun of the people who thought we would actually DoW them. Mission accomplished Edit: I accidentally a word

PlanX you malicious scheming man! Someone must stop you or god knows what might happen next! You could, like, change all the diplomat pictures to cute kittens or something equally heinous!

[quote name='William Bonney' timestamp='1304549403' post='2706302'] Congrats to all involved. Tums [/quote] Shhhh Bonney. You're ruining my street cred

I knew about this mon.....oh, yeah I loved you all before, but this just makes me you harder /me raises her beer to her new blocmates Edit: forgot an "s"

It's great to see some new faces in gov around here! Congrats to everyone and kudos to MiniTru. Your work is as wonderful as ever.

To all my Ninjas brothers, good luck. You have my a million times over! Go get 'em, boys (and Engel )!! / Ejay // Eggy

A day late, but congrats to all of us. I've been here for 2 years now, and I've seen allies and friends come and go, but you guys have remained a constant (and a wonderful one at that). Serious to you all!
