It's hard for me to wish good luck to an alliance created by someone who called for "death" to mine in poor Japanese...
So I think I'll just throw up in my mouth a little -
I have one of these
I don't really have anywhere to put it, but it really is a cool flag though. -

Nope, more about using images for treaty's (OOC: they will be deleted some day so no one can see it, thank god there is a text version), written in a font that makes me puke.

I hate images as treaties, too.

Excellent to see.

[quote name='Elrich von Richt' timestamp='1288522862' post='2497931']
Regardless of whether or not the remaining individuals in the SOS Brigade are willing to accept it, the only thing I can do is [b]apologize[/b] (and learn from this).
[/quote]
It takes strength to admit when you've hurt somebody. I didn't support you because you're never wrong, but because you're able to admit what you've done.
Since this has continued to go on, I'd like to make a few things clear. I did everything I could to resolve the internal dispute in SOS Brigade without anyone leaving the alliance, because I believed that nobody actually involved was right in what they did. The negotiations by Elrich and Michaeru with iFOK were a failure, and even I told them as much. Then Arrnea cut half the government, some of whom he never even talked to, based on the incorrect idea that they were going to illegally coup him, despite the fact that he actually tried to lead an illegal coup himself, previously. Diablofan has obtained the logs from that Skype conversation, which he just posted as I was writing this.
A channel was then created for discussion of the situation in which I urged participants to wait until we could contact Arrnea and not to the leave the alliance until he had a chance to learn all the facts and reconsider. That was not to be. He dismissed the truth.
After the impeachment attempt and the later mass resignation, I had hoped that would send a message to the Brigade Chief that he still needed to make amends on his part. There were many, many chances to fix what was going wrong with SOS Brigade before New Sakura Order was founded, and all of them were ignored.
And now, several members of the alliance Tetris, and the former SOS Brigade member Michaeru are being, in my opinion, unfairly targeted for their knowledge of the situation. Michaeru was pretty open about his role in that conversation throughout, and it was amusing to some people (who shouldn't have been gloating, but did anyhow) that he was trusted when he was doing the same thing that others were punished for. The so-called "duplicity" of Michaeru and "betrayal" of Tetris are dishonest statements. I certainly don't like the way most people have handled this, but it's not anything like the portrayal in the announcement.
If anyone from SOS Brigade or New Sakura Order is feeling torn over this situation, that's not wrong. There are some people involved here who are destroying our friendships through their abuse. But please come and talk to me if you have concerns. I'll listen. -
Arrnea, just say you're sorry for what you did. A true, heartfelt apology. That's all anyone ever wanted.
With that, I request that no members of the New Sakura Order contribute further to this discussion. -
[quote name='Michael von Prussia' timestamp='1288324481' post='2496029']
Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but that sounds an awful lot like [i]Arrnea had plenty of time to do what we told him to[/i]. Trust me, no one's bitter over losing a bunch of traitors. A more accurate statement is that there are some members who find being stabbed in the back a wee bit painful.[/quote]
You've consistently been wrong here, but there's enough of Mio's forgiveness to go around.
But spare me the drama. Nobody ever was "stabbed in the back". Arrnea was advised repeatedly by myself, Onyx and others uninvolved that what he was doing was bad for the alliance, which we were trying to hold together and he just ignored it.
And here you come along with your contrived and uninformed outrage, defending the unacceptable and making the kind of attacks that even a middle school student would find childish. Well, take your idealism of blind loyalty and inflexibility, and go home. I'm sorry we're too pragmatic for you, and to be honest, I see no need to accommodate your arrogance.
[quote]Also, mandatory 'there is no alliance with the acronym SOS'.
[/quote]
Sounds like a weeaboo thing to say. -
I was going to do The Disco Commandant, but I don't think I could refer to myself as "this funky Dj" with a straight face.
So I picked someone recognisable but not too notorious. -
Why is this discussion still going on?
We're here, not there, we roll together and have fun together. Can those few members of SOS be bitter somewhere else? Because I really don't want to hear about how betrayed you feel when there was plenty of opportunity for reconsideration on the part of Arrnea. I was conflicted and ultimately took the side of the people who learn and grow from their mistakes, rather than rigid and alienating perfectionism.
I recommend some introspection.
Otherwise,

[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1287910730' post='2491912']
I would like to address this glaring factual error. This statement is utter rubbish. The result of the poll to impeach me was as follows:
Yes - 13
No - 12
Abstain (effectively 'no' votes) - 5
With between 35 and 40 members in the alliance at the time. Hardly a majority. Please come back when you can perform basic mathematical operations.
Edit: For those who can't be bothered to read our Charter (much like most of NsO), it is required that 80% of the total votes cast be in favor of impeachment for the Chief to be removed from office.
[/quote]
You're missing the point entirely. Most people who had an opinion were against you, it not whether the motion would have passed, which you should have taken as a message to improve your behaviour. You're a poor leader who won't accept responsibility for his mistakes, and managed to alienate a number of people who would have otherwise been supportive of you.
Please go away if you have nothing better to say than "hurrrr hurrrr durrrrr I can do maths" and tell me to "come back" to my own announcement. I'm actually doing something for the people you callously disregard as disposable when they put considerable effort into developing your alliance. -
[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1287906741' post='2491893']
'Ruin' is such a subjective term. 'Trim' is a more objectively accurate term I'd like to use.
But thanks for illuminating the extent of just how wrong you all seem to have gotten it.
[/quote]
You can't have it both ways. Either it was no loss and you have no reason to complain, or it was a significant loss to SOS Brigade, which is why you're here.
The fact is, we have so many people who are skilled at a variety of things essential for building a great alliance and a great community. Our greatest resource is our talent, which you discarded out of selfishness. I'll see the development of something amazing from my dearest friends in the New Sakura Order.
I've gotten it right.
[quote name='Michael von Prussia' timestamp='1287908564' post='2491901']
Mio, I'm of the opinion that the fact the strongest insult you seem capable of throwing at Arrnea is that he built a stronger, closer alliance, and rid the SOS Brigade of disloyal members such as yourself, speaks volumes about the type of alliance you intend to form.
Just so we're clear, before I take my leave: not one member of the SOS Brigade gives a damn how much you want to delude yourself into thinking you and your minions are the righteous party in this dispute. Not [i]one[/i]. If you think you can change your doomed future by forgetting your wretched past, that's fine by us, but when this all comes crashing down on your head, don't think for a minute you can count on us as friends. You've proven by your actions that you are no friend of those who seek friendship and camaraderie in alliance, as you and your traitorous followers sought nothing but to divide people by your actions.
[/quote]
Bite me. You're completely out of touch with what happened.
A majority of the members of SOS Brigade voted to impeach Arrnea, and he still didn't get the message that what he was doing was wrong.
Alliances exist for the sake of their members, not their "rulers". If the king ignores the demands of the people and they can leave at will, he will have no kingdom to rule. Have fun wallowing in your own self-righteousness. -
[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1287906356' post='2491890']
I'm sorry, you've just killed me from the irony of this statement, because the first part is exactly what you tried to do and the second is what you did.
If my actions have led the SOS Brigade to where it is today, then I'd do the same again, given the chance.
[/quote]
You'd ruin the alliance? Welp.
I was somewhat conflicted in creating this alliance, but not any more. -
Congratulations and good luck~

[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1287828980' post='2491163']
What's tragic is that I ever trusted the people that have come to form this trainwreck of an alliance.
[/quote]
How long are you going to be bitter, throwing these poor insults in my direction? You're being what you claim Arexes to be, though not as clever.
Your problems are of your own creation. Stop blaming other people and realise that your abuse of discretion and repeated failure to acknowledge fault led to your current situation.
This alliance is going to succeed because it is loyal to and belongs to its members. I'm not going to remove them from any useful position on false pretenses and refuse to apologise, or conduct actions in secrecy without communicating with people who should have been involved.
I suggest you take your vitriol elsewhere. -
[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1287720603' post='2490397']
Nothing stopping your suggesting a treaty when you were Senior Staff (hell, even as a normal member). I don't seem to recall it happening though.
[/quote]
I didn't propose any of this alliance's treaties, either.
But that didn't stop my presence here from being an influencing factor. It's my irresistible charm.

You know, you could have just treatied SOS instead.

They probably would have, if I was Brigade Chief. -

The only thing worse than neutrality is anime. I take that back, but suffice it to say that anime sucks.
[/quote]
Luckily, this isn't an animu alliance, nor a neutral alliance. -
[quote name='Methrage' timestamp='1287640327' post='2489507']
Pacifica was central in the formation of NpO and you guys wouldn't exist if they didn't decide you should, so unless NSO is playing a role in the formation of NsO the situations aren't really comparable.
[/quote]
I think too much emphasis is placed on acronyms, so I'm not really concerned. The names of most new alliances are just created to fit a certain word.
Which is stupid, if you ask me.
The name of the alliance is New Sakura Order, which is derived from the term New World Order.
OOC: And for those who don't remember, most alliances used to use their initials in-game as the alliance affiliation. The whole NPO-NpO thing was somewhat a joke, because it wasn't case sensitive and you couldn't tell them apart. Therefore, to get a sanction, alliances would have to spell out their names in-game, which became the accepted practice. At the present, there's no way you could confuse this alliance with New Sith Order. -
[quote name='Tohru' timestamp='1287639414' post='2489477']
Actually, it's based on an alliance idea that the April Fool's Day joke was based on. So not entirely correct.
[/quote]
Well, actually I came up with the name quite a long time ago, but it was originally used as my alliance affiliation in January 2010. -
[quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1287637696' post='2489422']
Ugh, not another "New ___ Order". That being said, you guys chose a great alliance to be your protector. Good luck.
[/quote]
But...it's the New World Order, brought to you by <insert conspiracy theory here>. -
[quote name='JT Jag' timestamp='1287637469' post='2489415']
All of you guys should just form some sort of Rising Sun bloc so that you'd be easier to [s]roll[/s] keep track of and just get it over with.

Only if GOONS is in it too.

Today, we are blessed to announce the presence of our new alliance to the world. We have come together to create an orderly and harmonious society, for the sake of mutually ensuring the prosperity of our nations, through the divine force created by the friendship and unity within.
Dearest people of this Cyberverse, we hereby proclaim the existence of the New Sakura Order.
In keeping with our namesake, the [i]Sakura[/i], the cherry trees that change throughout the seasons, blooming briefly with pink flowers every spring, our governance is created with the recognition of the temporal nature of everything, and the acceptance of change that comes with it, but is able to hold strong enough to carry out the desires and needs of our people. For the very purpose of our existence is to serve and accept the rewards of our own service, to guard us from the chaos and destructive realities of the world, to stand against adversity, and to advance into the future, where we will have our chance to bloom.
Therefore, our foremost commitment is not one adherent to peace or war, neutrality or engagement, or any other rigid and extreme ideology, but instead to both self and collective improvement, and through this, the attainment of outward goals. My sincere hope is that this community will be fun, interesting and thoughful in our development and interactions compared to many of the other alliances.
Our initial government is as follows:
[b]Mio[/b], the Empress of the New Sakura Order, and a managing council consisting of [b]Diablofan[/b], [b]Tohru[/b], [b]Arynar Ventys[/b] and [b]Elrich von Richt[/b].
I expect the council members and the other amazing people who have expressed a desire to be a part of this alliance project will serve us all well.
- [b]Mio[/b], Empress, Protector and Sister of the New Sakura Order
Edit 1: #sakura. Join nao.
Also, say hello: http://www.newsakuraorder.co.cc/ -
I thought to myself, there's nothing Legion is doing to deserve WAE, that UPN will win for sure.
Knowing that Legion won, I was surprised.
Then I saw this. Now I'm not surprised. Congratulations, you've earned it. -
One year of managing to irritate a number of people just by existing. Life is good, as always.

I support Damsky in principle, just because he's more interesting than anything CB ever does.
Not gonna support him with actual economic or military resources though.
