The Warrior

Congratulations guys!

Honoring Section 2 of Novus Ordo Seclorum, the combined forces of Oculus declare war on the New Polar Order in defense of the Dark Templar. In the lead-up to the current global war, it was no secret that Polar's loyalties were divided. They held numerous treaties with both of the major power spheres, and they expressed conditional support for each sphere depending on the nature of the upcoming war. The member alliances of Oculus understood and respected Polar's right to hold those treaties and to pursue a unique foreign policy, and we worked before the war to understand their needs and listen to their concerns, the foremost of which was that they could not support the sphere that launched the first strike. When FTW and NATO began the war, Polar's leadership admitted that they previously had been involved with earlier planning stages for it. However, they insisted that they had not been informed about or signed off on the war plans actually moving forward; they were furious that their friends in the enemy coalition had left them both hypocritical and out on a limb. Despite Polar's violations of Section 1 and Section 4 of our treaty, the member alliances of Oculus forgave these traitorous actions and agreed to welcome them back into the fold. But, Polar remained a house divided. Those initial leaders were swiftly encouraged out of office, and new leaders took their place. These new leaders similarly affirmed Polar's commitment to Oculus, but they simultaneously restored their treaties with the enemy coalition and offered them peace. They took these actions without providing any warning to Oculus or other members of the coalition first. Despite this, the member alliances of Oculus remained steadfast in their support and understanding of Polar. We understood that the war had put them in a bad position, and we wanted to give the new leaders time to study up. As the war unfolded, we continued to take great pains to consider Polar's needs. We ignored certain entrants and countered others in selective ways to allow as much of Polar's sphere of influence to remain as intact as possible. Yet, the betrayals continued. A coup led to Polar's third government in less than a month, once again with no communication to their blocmates. And, once again, the member alliances of Oculus attempted to be kind, to understand the needs of Polar's membership and new leadership, and to move on. We did so even as Polar violated Section 2 of our treaty and ignored the attacks on the Viridian Entente. We did so even as Polar deliberately remained silent as the coalition planned how to counter VE's attackers and DBDC volunteered to help. We did so even as Polar declared war on DBDC in support of VE's attackers, pretending as though their hands had been forced when, in truth, they had had every opportunity to intervene proactively. We worked hard to be good allies to Polar; Polar did not reciprocate. Ultimately, it was a relief when they dropped the mask and left. In return for our patience, understanding, and care, Polar has stabbed us in the back yet again. As a parting gift, they have launched a seemingly unrelated and entirely baseless war of aggression against their former ally. Oculus has led the hegemony of this world for more than seven years because we do right by each other and our allies. It is evident that the New Polar Order has different values, and that they have mistaken our kindness for weakness. Polar has decided to take up residence with a den of jackals, and in time, they will all undoubtedly eat each other. In the meantime, however, we will enjoy demolishing them.

Congratulations to Yenroh and Azure and best of luck to Supreme and Olorin! Lots of good people here.

Your words, they hur-. Nah, I don't care.

Am I not good enough for you anymore?

Novus Ordo Seclorum Pursuant to Section 2 of Novus Ordo Seclorum, the Independent Republic of Orange Nations declares war on FAN and Nordreich in response to their declarations against the Viridian Entente.

You did in fact inform us that you were leaving to have your fun. That was your prerogative and we didn't care.. until you forced us to care. You were treated the way you were because of what you chose to do: rogue an IRON ally while wearing the IRON AA (accident or not), less than 24 hours after working to help bring peace to that ally in a conflict they were engaged in, and then ignore the request of the Council you were a part of to peace out of that war with that someone you were allied to 5 minutes prior. You could have had your fun, like so many have before you, without hitting an ally and you would have been remembered for what you did in IRON and not what you did on your way out of IRON.

Yes, shame on us for acting on literally half a dozen CB's given to us. Shame shame shame.

You forgot the part where NG hands CB's to everyone involved.

Congratulations FTW and CLAWS!

The worst part about it is that he probably has no idea what you’re talking about.

..yet.

Yay GATO! And also yay us! tl;dr Congratulations to us both on this most momentous occasion. Surely this will be brewers the end.

Well this is just a busy night for us. A new member and a war?! Who said Planet Bob was rotting? Welcome Polaris.

Pastoralis Praeeminentiae "Dieu n'est pas content, nous avons des ennemis de la foi dans le Royaume" For over a decade The Templar Knights have been combatants in many large wars. They have lost some Crusades and won others. Following their defeat in the Maroon War Crusade and receiving lenient terms, The Templar Knights sought not for peace, but instead the start of a new Crusade. They worked alongside other dissidents to exert their influence into additional alliances for the purpose of expanding their aspirations at the cost of their pawns. However, neither their plotting for a future Crusade against the Church of Oculus nor their dispatching agents to other alliances to intercede on their behalf have gone unnoticed. In recognition of their heresy, The Holy Church of Oculus now orders the arrest of all Knights Templar and lays claim to their pixels for the Church. Other constituents may be subject to further penalties at a later date. Retaliation against any member of the Church will be considered as an attack on the entirety of the Church. It's judgment time for the Templars... Signed, The Senate and People of Oculus

Thanks!

Congratulations to all!

Congratulations on peace!

Sorry you don't like it.

You are probably experiencing an increased amount of IRON in your own body through osmosis, SH. This is a common side-effect. We are glad to be able to offer this service.

Happy hunting folks!

This is a public service announcement from the Independent Republic of Orange Nations regarding Iron Deficiency Anemia. Iron deficiency anemia is a serious matter. It is, of course, caused by a shortage of iron in one's body. Your bone marrow needs iron to make hemoglobin. Without it, your body cannot produce enough hemoglobin to make red blood cells. We at IRON are seriously concerned for the well-being of all of those Legion nations who have been at war now for the last seven days. Seven days of war.. that is a lot of blood loss. And if your bodies cannot produce enough hemoglobin to create new blood cells, bad things could happen to you. In order to help out the fine people in the Legion, the Independent Republic of Orange Nations activates the defense clause of our treaty with NATO and declares war on the Legion. We are bringing the IRON injections that your body needs. Signed for the Independent Republic of Orange Nations, The Warrior, President, IRON Councilor Blade 619, Minister of Defense, IRON Councilor Rhizoctonia, Secretary of State, IRON Councilor Hertt, Minister of Internal Affairs, IRON Councilor Mandarijn, Minister of the Vault, IRON Councilor

Bingo. Such is their prerogative. Posting here to remind the world every 6 months that this is still ongoing to try and gain any sort of sympathy is hilarious though. Firstly, there is no sympathy to be gained when you rejected a simple admission of defeat; secondly, there isn't anyone who will give you sympathy when you've made it known that this is your swan song anyway.

Welcome friends! Good luck.

Friendly reminder for anyone who actually cares: SPATR and company are at war still due to their own pride. I'm sorry Murtibing, but simply having to admit your defeat is not a draconian term. You don't want to and that's your prerogative, but that means that the war continues because of you and not because of Oculus. I guess we look forward to reading your post again next year. Cheers.
