  1. Tired of the cult of personality

    in Open World RP

    Posted

    On May 8, 1945 Alfred Jodl stood before the Western Allies and surrendered the forces of Nazi Germany. Today on May 8, I too must take the regretable step and surrender to the forces of Karma.

    Like the French troops of May 1917 entering a 3rd year of war, my troops are entering a 3rd week of non-stop war while the bourgesois masters of Pacifica relax in peace mode. My troops will defend their homes, but refuse anymore offensive attacks in the name Moo and the IO's.

    Finally, I have opted to end this war not because I am abandoning Pacifica, but because she abandoned me. Pacifica was hailed as a "meritocracy", yet whenever one dares to criticizes the regime in order to improve it they are mocked and scoffed. Instead of a true meritocracy dedicated to Francoist ideals we have a cult of personality dedicated to Moo and IO's that would have made Stalin or Kim Il Sung proud.

    The final straw was to find my forum access has been denied. No warning, no counsel; just dropped like a hot potato. At this point I can only conclude that either Pacifica is dead or that I am persona non grata because no one returns my calls and my letters have a green glow when marked "return to sender, address unkown."

    Given my shabby treatment by Moo, et al., once I have had time and aid to rebuild I would be open to re-entering this war on Karma's side if they will grant me release from terms.

    Sir;

    I offered you aid , Money and troops. At the time you tried to accept it I was under attack and had to cancel. I messaged you and explained the situation and then instructed you to contact me and tell me when you'd be on to coordinate the transaction instead of letting it hang out in the open. You opened those messages...and didn't respond to them. At that point I didn't feel the need to reoffer. The funny thing is...General Bragg...is that if you had just cordinated with me I still would have sent you the aid. Aid out of my own coffers that I needed to fight my enemies with.

    On a personal note. I have never been treated poorly for making a suggestion. I have neither been mocked or scoffed at. We all have different ideas and opinions.....be that as it may.....while we think that it may be a great idea, it may just not work for the group as a whole. Under the circumstances, in the middle of a major war...perhaps the best thing to do would have been to do your job and save it for another day.

    I see no dishonor in surrender under certain conditions. I do see dishonor in surrendering and then offering to join in against the very people you were aligned with at wars start. It's simply traitorous. Don't forget that many other nations you have fought beside have lost much much more than you have......on both sides

    As far as your forum access...I can't accurately answer why it was revoked. Surrendering may have alot to do with it.

    Sincerely,

    Dorian Polemarch.

    A message of some seriousness

    Yesterday Reign of Immortals attacked a member of Alpha Beta, a protectorate of Alpha Omega.

    As part of my duties as Military Director it is my job to see to it that the attacking nation ceases and desists. Therefore I sent the appropriate in game msg.

    I got back a rather disrespectful message.

    This of course didn't help his case. However, I was willing to disregard being called retarded. After consultations with his now former Alliance, Random Insanity Alliance, Reign of Immortals was declared a Rogue nation. Nations of Alpha Omega in accordance to our policys, were ordered to lauch retaliatory strikes, placing the enemy into anarchy.

    During the course of the evening things took a slight turn for the more personal and uncalled for. Another message. This time one taken not so jovially.

    Now, normally I am willing to over look slanderous and inflamatory comments and would in most case just report the offender to CN for such actions or just simply ignore then. I however have gone through a loss in my family just a few days ago, this past friday my mother passed away. While I normally have a high tolerance for such behavior, this time I do not. Out of Character attacks and insults have no place in this game. Especially in the course of playing the game.

    Therefore, instead of reporting Jascool90 to moderation, it has been decided that he is to be added to the Alpha Omega Permanent ZI list for OOC attacks/insults. There is no place for such behavior in CN and I and AO reserve the right to defend ourselves.

    As Director of Military for Alpha Omega, I do hereby declare and authorize the permanent ZI of Reign of Immortals, ruled by Jascool90. Set this day Wednesday, 12 March 2008.

    Thank you.

    I had a huge wall of text written here before I decided to just take my own advice, to an extent. Sometimes, the best thing anyone can say, is nothing at all.

    Sadly, I am not very good at following advice.

    I have nothing to say about lcdt, that's being handled by the Government of AO.

    As far as Nintenderek is concerned, I could rail on about alot of things. I won't. I'll leave it at this...your leadership, or lack thereof, as a member of GOLD's government was a part of the problem. Don't tout your accomplishments to loudly. You were one of the first to abandon GOLD, right or wrong, when the crap hit the fan.
