Me too Dilber, me too.
I shall be waiting to see how this unfolds as well. If I may quote a wise man, Anu Drake, "It's like a train wreck. Except the train just keeps backing up and going in for more."
GPA, if this were anyone else they'd be ZIed by now. You need to consider yourselves lucky, make some changes, offer a REAL apology, and hope that it's accepted. No more hiding your head in the sand.
-
We've seen some pretty amazing treaties coming out recently. Both in the type of treaty that it is and the amount of nations joining up. Pretty amazing, and I expect to see more soon.
-
Meh... the old weapon against them works just as well. I DoWed him for the lulz.
-
I'm not going to try to recruit you, because I'm sure if you're interested in knowing more you'd let me know. But I'd like to point out a couple of alliances to you.
I'm not going to go and say Purge is the greatest, because looking at stats we just aren't even close. However, I have never had more fun in an alliance than Purge and I think you would be happy meeting the members and taking advantage of the so far superb aiding efforts we have going on.The man is just being humble. Purge is an awesome alliance, and one of our friends here at Awesome-O. They have some of the coolest people you will ever meet, and a small, friendly atmosphere. Check 'em out.
Another alliance is CORE. They are an amazing bunch of people and are our allies. You can't go wrong if you go CORE.
So check those two out, and if you do want to know more about Awesome-O shoot me a PM or an ingame.

By the way, if any of you were wondering:
Triumvirs are myself, Maxfiles, and IronSoldier. Our amazing queen is Viktoria. The position of queen is just a figurehead, however, so go to the triumvirs regarding official stuffs.
We will be appointing the High Council soon.
Our alliance will forever worship the
smiley.Oh, and we are open to relations with pretty much any alliance right now (no, LSF, not you. Things never end well when you're around.) We hope to make a few good friends in the coming days.
-
Our queen is Viktoria Zeppelin ATM. Apparently there IS a competition
-
GPA... you spelled their name wrong. It's Libertarian, not Liberation. >_<
-
We all know LSF couldn't even pay 30m. So this will be interesting to see GPA attack them.
-
Damn shame to see a good alliance fade out. I wish your members the best of luck in wherever they choose to go.
-
Thanks for all the positive words from everybody. Please visit us on our IRC channel or send a diplomat over to us, we'd be happy to give you more info or just chat.
I'd like to thank CORE and Pikajew for making this possible. CORE has been a helpful partner and friend every step of the way and without them this alliance might not have ever formed.
-
Just another reason why we are among the most lucky alliances in CN. So glad to have you all as friends and allies. Onwards to 19,999 average NS!

I forgot to add the flag. It's there now, though!

Introducing the Awesome-O alliance
Before I begin I'd like to give you the link to our forums.
Charter of the Awesome-O alliancePreamble
We created this alliance on the basis of change, and good ideas, of working together as a team for the betterment of our nations in this game called CyberNations. We believe that an alliance should be filled with people of good moral character. Positions should be filled based on a person's merit, not any other factors. We present this charter to govern our new alliance, and hereby create the alliance of Awesome-O.
Article 1, Membership
1.1 Any member in good standing in the CyberNations community, who is not a part of any other alliance, may apply to be a member in Awesome-O.
1.2. Before membership may be granted, nations must complete an oath to Awesome-O.
1.3. The oath is as follows, "I, (ruler name) of (nation name) do hereby pledge allegiance to the Awesome-O alliance, its membership and its government. I understand that by joining Awesome-O, I agree to and will abide by all rules, laws, and regulations, especially the Awesome-O charter. I will fight to the death to defend my alliance mates, and shall never surrender."
1.4 Membership may be suspended or revoked on authority of any Triumvir, for violation of any part of this charter. This suspension will not last longer than 72 hours. The member will then be given a trial mask and a formal list of charges must be presented by the Triumvir who suspended the member. A trial will be held, presided over by the High Council.
1.5 Membership may be denied to any member applying to Awesome-O
Article 2, Government
2.1. Awesome-O's government consists of (1) Queen, three (3) Triumvirs, Seven (7) High Council members, a Minister of Defense, a Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Recruitment, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Minister of Education.
Queen
2.2 The Awesome-O Queen is a figurehead. The Queen does not have any powers in the alliance, but it is permissible to confide with her any information at the High Council or lower, however it is not necessary.
2.3 The Queen rules for life. If she leaves CN, the Triumvirs will choose a new Queen with a 3/3 vote.
Triumvirate
2.4. There will be 3 Triumvirs in the Government. They are the highest level of government within this alliance. If at such time they choose to leave the position, they shall hold in confidence all secrets of the alliance they learned while holding the position of Triumvir. The triumvirs serve until they resign, at which time the remaining triumvirs decide on a replacement.
High Council
2.5 The High Council will have a total of 7 Members. The High Council is the second in command in the government. High Council members hold this position for life, or until resignation or impeachment. The Triumvirate shall appoint all the seats of the Founding Council, then thereafter new members shall be chosen by a majority vote by the council.
2.6 Every two months, the membership votes for the Speaker of the High Council. All members of the High Council are put on a ballot, from which the Speaker is chosen. The Speaker of the High Council may only be impeached by the membership in a 2/3 vote. Triumvirs and other High Council members are not permitted to vote in the impeachment poll. An impeachment vote can be called for by a petition signed by three or more members of the alliance, not including triumvirs or High Council members. The Speaker of the High Council is responsible for announcing the results of all High Council votes.
2.7 For all other High Council members, a 3/3 vote from the triumvirate or a 6/7 vote from the High Council can impeach the member.
Ministers
2.8 Each minister is in charge of their given section. No Member of the Triumvirate, or High Council, shall do the duties of a minister unless they resign, or there is no deputy to fill the position.

2.11 The Ministers and the Deputy Ministers can be put up for an impeachment vote by a 2/3 vote of the Triumvirate. The impeachment vote is then voted upon by the High Council. A 6/7 vote is necessary to impeach the Minister or Deputy Minister. If an impeachment vote is called during a time where the alliance is at war, a 2/3 vote if the Triumvirate, and a 5/7 vote of the high council will be sufficient to remove a minister or deputy minister.

Introducing the Awesome-O alliance
We are proud to present our alliance to you today. It has been in the works for around a month. The members have not switched AAs however, so don't check out our stats now. We should be mostly transferred over to the AA in the next day or so.
Without further ado, I'd like to present you with our charter.

From the very onset, we created our alliance based on the principles of friendship, respect and honor. As an alliance, honor and friendship are two of the core pillars. When we make a treaty, we will keep it. And we aren't out there to make treaties with just anyone. CORE, however, is not just anyone. It is with great pride that I announce our friendship and protectorate. We are honored to have been befriended by CORE, and even more honored to be considered eligible for a treaty with them.
PreambleIn recognition of the mutual friendship between the Coalition of Radical Elites, hereafter referred to as CORE, and Awesome-O, CORE agrees to provide defense and military assistance to Awesome-O
Article I- Sovereignty
Both CORE and Awesome-O will remain sovereign alliances.
Article II - Protection
CORE hereby agrees to aid Awesome-O, either militarily or financially, when requested, in the event that an Awesome-O member comes under attack.
Article III - Foreign Policy
All treaties decided upon by either signatory must be presented to the other at least 24 hours before the public announcement of said treaty. CORE reserves the right to deny treaties if it is deemed necessary.
Article IV - Intelligence
If CORE comes into possession of any information that may cause harm to Awesome-O, CORE must give the information to an Awesome-O Triumvir within 24 hours. The same holds true with any information that may cause harm to CORE in the possession of Awesome-O.
Article V Diplomatic Relations
Both alliances pledge to keep an embassy on their forums for the other signatory and to maintain open lines of communication.
To aid in the open communication between the signatories, one Awesome-O member will have a full membership mask on the CORE forums, and one CORE member will have a full membership mask on the Awesome-O forums.

Josh, I think you and I should talk on IRC about some of my plans to curb the cheating. And no, I'm not accusing NpO ONLY of doing it, there was a thing or two from our side (people just putting a book on the enter key, not cheating, but I find it highly unethical). So yeah, I have some ideas of what to do. And I think this time, a maroon member needs to make the boards. It just didn't work last time. But query me on IRC if I don't query you first
-
This. If you want to have a rematch it should be on one where WE have the ability to boot cheaters, WE have the ability to mask people, etc.
-
It's very unfortunate that several things happened in an otherwise friendly topic, including:
-people using bots to post, claiming later 'but it wasn't against the rules then'
-people using 3+ computers at once
-masking delays of members
I won't be pointing fingers. It's just sad that we couldn't keep this friendly. It is common sense bots weren't allowed.
-
Haha, can't take us one - on - one, eh? We should call in our green MDP
-
Ummmm.. ask your alliance?
I am seeing people are giving you aid. Why anybody would want to reward someone who can't be troubled to use at least half-correct grammar in their topic begging for aid I don't know.
-
IRON is good, but NpO showed their spamming superiority in this conflict. We wish the IRON members luck in rebuilding their ego.
-
I certainly agree with taking Nazis out. What I do not agree with is that NoV, SoM, and others are all portrayed in a bad light for some because people -suspect- they have nazis in them. All confirmed Nazis should be attacked. I find the ideology disgusting, and I don't see how in this day and age anybody could rationally think that a certain group of people should be killed or are responsible for everything that is bad. People should know better.

Oreo how could you marry Sarriz? I thought you and me had a thing going!

Alright, guys. I'm seeing far too much use of the
