The Mongol-Swedes

The Socialist Confederacy respects the sovereignty of all peoples and will honor the peace with its East Asian neighbors.

Nonsense! Those extremely backwards rice-eating savages had token support to the tune of small arms procurements! It was totally an unfair fight against the big mighty war machine of free-dumb!

With a youthful stride the Chairman delicately edged himself along the row of seats, careful not to bump into any other attendees and observers as he stepped into the aisle, with his fist raised as he started chanting, "The People, united, will never be defeated!", a characteristic revolutionary phrase which he continued to shout with more enthusiasm even as he reached the table to add his endorsement, written in both Cyrillic and English as the laws of his people prescribed:

Hope to see you back soon. Take care, dude.

OOC: Pending the acceptance of my application, I'll be entering these discussions as well. IC: The grizzled, born and raised nomad Chairman of the Mongol-Swede General Council Marcus Lobonsky rose to speak his piece. He was a cultured man who had also enjoyed the presence of Western missionaries and other educators who came to teach the 'heathen savages' who long ago roamed the Steppes before rejecting the outsiders once the secrets of industry and technology were laid bare. Adjusting his formal ushanka, an irritable piece of headgear given the climate of the NAAC, he spoke slowly in his practiced English, "The people of the Steppes are eager to forge a bond with all revolutionary communist formations around the world, given that our own homelands are beset by the forces of capital-driven conquest, and our struggle for a sustainable way of life that is benevolent to the world we call our home is often cut short by an endless demand to drive our people to labor upon machines of destruction. I declare, on behalf of the General Council, that we will not shrink from the pressures of the warmongers who make it necessary for us to construct tank factories in place of grain silos in order for our lands and our people to be able to unite in the Internationalist struggle for liberty, and, with the permission of the most gracious and hospitable hosts of the North American Anarchist Federation, I would be honored to approach the table and add the endorsement of The Mongol-Swedes to this monumental treaty of honor."

Also, if this is going to be too much of a conflict with the Ming Empire, then I'm willing to sit with the Hovsgol, Bulgan, Arhangay and Selenge provinces, as well as the remaining western Mongolian provinces.

Orange and Pink are doing just fine without being encompassed by a single alliance each.

Waiting for commies to be declared 'bigots' and EZI'd to relieve tensions.

Phil! Tamurin! Lusitan! You and TFD rock! I'm happy to see you all still around and going strong.

I'm saying wow right now!

Hello, Einswald. Cheers for staying on. I suppose it would be bad form if the LSF did outlive NoV. Anyway, good luck with the NPO 'cleanup' squads, Emperor Einswald! Thanks for the NoV embassy lulz, and I, too, like your avatar.

It's Pink Powah jealousy at its fin-er, not-so-fine-times. On the one hand, it's great to see a new twist on a timeless classic. On the other, I personally do not condone tech raiding and tend to only trade with alliances that condemn it.

Amazing, stuff, Rangers.

This is why it pays to stay on PWNAGE, I tell myself. Anyway, u, TCB!

Even more fabulous. Grats, guise. Lolbrownlolyellow

I can think of plenty of alliances that condemn ZI Blacklisting and get on just fine.

It's not like NPO couldn't handle them, anyway. And it'd finally put to rest the endless tirade of "wartiemnaoplz?" threads popping up like prairie dogs in a flash flood. For a little while, at least.

Is this gonna turn into an old CNer versus new CNer shindig? I don't need another /b/ meme on Bob, thanks.

I think it's threads like these that generate the tensions which spawn the classy CB's we've all come to know and love that inevitably trigger the MDP web to ignite like a Kansas prairie fire. After all, gotta keep your soldiers fed with a little frenzy occasionally before they start looking at what's really going on.

I don't think even /b/ could've motivated its people to the polls quite like the NPO can, though.

Your continued existence as a sovereign alliance pretty much says that you haven't figured out that parlor trick, yet, either. Kudos, though, on what you've got.

Your guess is as good as mine. I think it might have something to do with the ICSN and some pretty awesome community developed during that time?

Many of your outspoken members ZI'd my comrades and their leftist alliances for the lulz, or stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the ZI'ers in the past. We're two different worlds, baby.

The NPO culture doesn't interest me. I like being able to directly participate in all alliance-wide decisions. I can't imagine being in an alliance that tells people they no longer get to play the game. Far as I'm concerned, that's just blasphemy against Admin.
