Mihail the Just

Also, I look forward to working with my esteemed allies on that masterlist of targets you've compiled! Perhaps we'll like each other so much we'll make a new bloc!

This is waaaay to early for April 1st, so I'm calling this an early Christmas present. Please deliver your frontlines to the Republic of Onivlac :ehm:

Congratulations. Treaties suck.

Oculus right? So, it kinda looks cool to begin with, but after a while makes you feel sick and unbalanced. Then you take the headset of and remember it was only virtually real...

Awaiting further orders from our Pacifican Overlords for how to deal with this threat :ehm:

Wondering... does the Ruler even know that they are the Ruler - how secret is this really :ehm: Also, congratulation! :awesome:

This whole enterprise glows with a healthy orange aurora. Congrats!

megann really means it, I can vouch for that!

Bored of the lack of activity in your current alliance?? We're receiving applications regularly from players like you, wanting to join a more active community. Join them, and us, right here: http://polarorder.net/?page_id=162 :awesome: Also, we have this:

Welcome to the world SwC, long may you prosper :)

This looks good to me - congratulations

Congrats on the new alliance :) Nice flag btw... oh wait, http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/politics/flags-of-new-zealand/maori-flag

Are you trying to encourage wholesale gender realignment surgery across Planet Bob lol ;)

Cuba's suggestion simply clears out the neutral alliances from the top 250 raiding bracket, thereby facilitating DBDC raids on more and smaller nations without having to worry about large neutral alliances turning on them. It is simply a way of making the 250 rule more effective for top tier raiders. Not sure how that is going to solve the issues raised here - or have I missed something? (quite possible)... Neutrals should not have admin protection [ooc]there ain't no admin to protect neutrals in rl[/ooc] - neutrals protect themselves. This is status quo, and as it should be. Also, anyone who thinks military capability and projection is not part of international politics and security needs to think again. Removing such an essential realistic element for some would would do a huge disservice to the world.

What is this 'safety' you refer to, and why would we want it? Also, i'm immune to "dogma and cult-like preaching" [fingers-in-ears]lalalalalalalalalalalalalal[/]

The only lesson I learned was that war is a fun way to prevent your nation from growing too quickly, and that I can't wait for the next one... (but I've always been a slow learner)

So long and thanks for all the casualties - I had a great time! :awesome:

lol - I believe that statement was quickly retracted in favour of our Emperor... (you know, we got orders ;) )

You should change your alliance affiliation on your owf profile - I was pretty confused there for a moment lol I applaud your change of direction, but must confess a little disappointment that you didn't fulfill your promise to come after me beforehand ;)

Congrats everyone - great see that everyone seemed to have a good time :) Also, kudos for calling it what it was - a surrender. Adds an extra touch of class that not all such announcements manage to pull off...

Changed my mind, maybe too inflamatory lol

We like Angelus, and we're keeping him - you may not have him back!

Why are either Avalance or DT Probes defenseless? And, although you may not like the reasons, we did at least give fair warning :ehm: Anyways, welcome to the war Avalance. Be thanking your aggressors for inviting you into the fun that is destroying pixels - it's blast! :war:

Now you're all doing backflips to try and make up a more acceptable and accurate term when one already exists. There can be peace by dignified or honourable surrender, or whatever, but the surrender to the imposed terms is still there. Whitewashing that aspect from the announcement (and discourse), belittles both parties. When one party surrenders to the terms of another (who is also acknowledged as the victor), then they have, well... surrendered. Peace has been achieved, by surrender of one party to another, and very lenient terms have been agreed to on both sides. That is the situation. face-saving by being mealy-mouthed, or twisting the definitions should not be necessary. I know it is part of the culture of this place, and I know I am flogging a dead horse as well, but the lack of precision and/or outright propagandist euphemism that replaces meaningful discourse in this place is a bit distressing... [ooc]it reminds me of rl politics far too much :awesome: [/ooc] PS - I hope, if it comes to it, that our surrender would be a noble affair where we acknowledge our victors with good grace.

You don't say. (Am I really guilty of such subtlety?)
