Its a bit of a mess to look at, but we have this 2d web: http://rialliance.net/treatyweb.html We shamelessly stole it from LoSS back when they made it and now its updated with RI5 data. Probably missing a couple of things but it should have most treaties. >_>

"Order" and "Lulzism" are both perversions of the one true faith of Random Insanity. The Holy Church of the Cactuar hopes that all such heretics following these failed and blasphemous philosophies come to see the light. Only those who follow the One True God - the great and Holy Cactuar - shall truly rise above the coming great death. The Holy Church wishes Invicta luck in defending their castle from the silly doomed ones. We hope both sides enjoy their bath of blood.

*Shadow shakes fist at NSO. As soon as we make it back over the dreaded spoiler line you pop out of nowhere to steal our spot! I see how it is. :mad:

A Wound in the Force How could you ever hope to know the threat you faced when you have never walked in the dark places of the galaxy? Faced war and death on such a scale? If you had traveled far enough, rather than waiting for the echo to reach you, perhaps you would have seen it for what it was. There is a place in the galaxy where the dark side of the Force runs strong. It is something of the Sith, but it was fueled by war. It corrupts all that walks on its surface, drowns them in the power of the dark side— -- it corrupts all life. And it feeds on death. Episode VII: This Echo Travels in the Places Where Death Has Walked, Where Planets Have Died. Massacres Fuel Its Power, the Death of Life Fuels It. The undersigned alliances, in recognition of our friendship, common values and interests and in pursuit of our collective security, strength, and prosperity, enter into this agreement in furtherance of those goals. Furthermore, the signatories commit themselves to upholding the obligations they freely undertake by signing this treaty. Episode VIII: It Is Our Goal To Be Stronger, To Achieve Our Potential and Not Rest Upon Our Laurels. We Are The Seekers, Not The Shepherds. Both parties agree to enter into a state of non aggression with one another for the entire duration of these accords and agree to never conspire or commit acts of espionage against one another. Both parties agree to never give any form of aid or assistance to an alliance or individual that a signatory of this treaty is militarily engaged with. Episode IX: To Say That The Force Works In Mysterious Ways Is To Admit One's Ignorance, For Any Mystery Can Be Solved Through The Application of Knowledge and Unrelenting Effort. Darkness is a Friend, an Ally. Darkness Allows Us To Understand Others, To See What They Value When They Believe No One Else Is Looking. It Allows Us To Be Honest With Ourselves, To Express Those Values That We Would Disavow in the Light. The Light Blinds Us. It Is Only In The Dark That We See Clearly, and There Is a Great Dark Hidden Among These Worlds. In the interests of proactive defense, both parties agree that all information critical to the defensive and strategic interests of the other will be forwarded. Episode X: Conflict Forces One To Better Oneself. It Forces Change, Growth, Adaption, Evolution… or Death. In the interests of common development and growth, both parties agree that the development and security of the other has a direct impact on the others strategic interests, and as such a direct attack on one signatory shall be considered a direct attack upon the other and will warrant a proper response as agreed upon by the signatories, be it diplomatic assistance, foreign aid, or a defensive war. In the event that one signatory comes under attack through providing military support to another ally engaged, said signatory is not considered to be in a defensive war, and the response of the other signatory is highly encouraged but not required. The signatories shall each endeavor to avoid placing the other in a situation in which this treaty shall come into conflict with any other current or future treaty signed by that signatory. In the unfortunate event that this is not possible and outside treaty obligations force the signatories into a situation in which they would occupy opposing positions in a larger conflict, the signatories shall work hard to respect the others position and neither signatory will take up arms against the other. Episode XI: Without Strife, the Victory Has No Meaning. Without Strife, One Does Not Advance. Without Strife, There is Only Stagnation. In the event that a signatory declares an offensive war, they may request assistance from the other provided they give notice at least 24 hours in advance. Assistance is not required from the other signatory in this situation, but is highly encouraged. Episode XII: The Dark Side Clouds Everything. Impossible To See, The Future Is. Recognizing that our interests may not always converge, the parties agree to being able to cancel this pact in its entirety with 72 hours notice. During these 72 hours, it is still considered active.

A Totally Spooky Early Halloween Themed Announcement from the Random Insanity Alliance Greetings friends and heretics, The Random Insanity Alliance recently held our bimontly elections and you will find the results below. For our Triumvirate, we had an election between making Shadow the God Emperor and electing Ogaden to replace Hyperonic, who chose not to re-run this term. 85.7% of the vote went to making Shadow the God Emperor so he has been given that position as an advisor while Ogaden has been re-elected into the Triumvirate since we have technically not amended the ConstRItution to have a God Emperor yet. A slight oversight but that shall be corrected in the future. We congratulate Shadow on his new position and Ogaden on this return to the Triumvirate where Shadow also remains alongside im317. This marks the return of the previous Triumvirate of Shadow, im317, and Ogaden that everyone knows and loves. For our 64th Cabinet, we had a range of interesting elections. For Head of Internal Affaris we saw Croix win with 66.7% of the vote against anybody but Croix. Thus Croix will continue his work in the position as he has for the previous many months. For Head of Economics, we saw Mogar win with 66.7% of the vote as well (I can only assume the secret CDS faction voted both of the above in power). We welcome him back as he takes over Ogaden's former position as Ogaden returns back to the Triumvirate. Mogar was once Head of Recruitment back in June/July 2012 so we welcome him back to government. And before anyone tells us how crazy we are for having Mogar in gov, just remember our name and also the fact he has been gov previously a few years back and we are still around. For Head of Foreign Affairs, we saw brian win re-election with 33.3% of the vote. The other 66.7% went to DBDC who was disqualified for not being a single person and not being a member of the RIA. Fun times. With brian taking the position this leads to a majority ex-CDS in the cabinet. We'll have to keep an eye on them. For Head of Military Operations, we saw Moth win with 83.3% of the vote after he showed off his unnatural bloodlust during our DBDC conflict but it was realized that he never actually ran for the position so the runner up biofantic gets re-elected with his 16.7% of the vote. For Head of Recruitment, we saw our board's new cactuar mouse clicker win with 71.4% of the votes. It has shown to be very popular and you should visit our boards to see its silliness. However, as its an inanimate object the runner-up dester55 wins re-election with 28.6% of the votes. For Captain Planet, we saw Mydas of CRAP edge out Meatkin Pie by taking 57.1% of the vote. Congrats to Mydas on being our newest Captain Planet. In our first special election of the term for the position of Leo, we saw Kenny (aka Hyperonic) beat out Leo with 83.3% of the vote. We congratulatec him on his new position. In our second special election of the term for the position of Prince of Darkness, we saw Jenne win with 71.4% of the vote against Ozzy Osbourne. We congratulate Jenne on his new position as well. Government for October & November 2014 Triumvirate XII Shadow im317 Ogaden 64th Cabinet Head of Economics: Mogar Head of Foreign Affairs: Brian Head of Internal Affairs: Croix Head of Military Operations: biofantic Head of Recruitment: dester55 Advisors Captain Planet: Mydas (of CRAP) God Emperor Shadow Prince of Darkness Jenne Leo Hyperonic Viceroy cctmsp13 Cactus Emeritus Agent Lemon Delta1212 Hyperonic Moth Shadow Slayer Thunder Strike Floridian Tribal Elder Apophis775 Jenne Economics Report In these past two months we'd like to report an increase in our tech reserves to approximately 328,611 or 78.1% of our 420,663 infrastructure. 47% of our overall nation strength now comes from our tech while 36% comes from infrastructure, 14% from military, and 4% from land. We would like to thank the following alliances for filling our appetite for tech for the previous two month. Each of the following alliances fed us over 1000 tech in the previous term, all of which are also treaty partners of the RIA: The Random Insanity Alliance for feeding us approximately 13,600 tech for $723,000,000.00. As always RIA members continue to help each other grow and increase tech. We are happy that our inter-alliance tech trading remains our highest source of tech. R&R for feeding us approximately 5,100 tech in exchange for $441,000,000.00. As always they remain our largest foreign trade partner, a position which they have continuously remained as for the entirety of the previous several years, even during previous global conflicts. We thank them for continuously being awesome. The New Polar Order for feeding us approximately 4,400 tech in exchange for $48,000,000.00. A large portion of this tech was sent to us for free to help replenish reserves lost during our nuclear war with the DBDC. We thank our good friends in the New Polar Order for this act of generosity. We love you guys. :) The Congolese Soukous Society for feeding us approximately 4,400 tech in exchange for $516,000,000.00. We are happy our new buddies on maroon have risen up to become one of our largest trading partners. The Coalition of Royal Allied Powers for feeding us 3,400 tech in exchange for $258,000,000.00. Some of this was also given to us for free so we thank our buddies in CRAP for continuously being awesome and one of our top trade partners. :) The New Sith Order for feeding us 2,800 tech in exchange for $0. We would like to thank our good friends in the New Sith Order for their generously in helping us further replenish our tech reserves after our nuclear war with the DBDC. We love you guys too! :) Shangri-La for feeding us 1,500 tech in exchange for $78,000,000.00. Some of this was also donated for free and so we thank them for their continued friendship and trading. :) The Templar Knights for feeding us 1,300 tech in exchange for $84,000,000.00. We thank them for their continued friendship and trading. RIA Trade Partner for feeding us approximately 1,300 tech in exchange for $84,000,000.00. We love our RIA trading partners. I would like to remind everyone of this alliance affiliation which is an open AA for anyone who switches to maroon to receive protection from the RIA. Founded back in 2010, the requirements can be found on http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/RIA_Trade_Partner but in summary only include being on maroon, being on the AA, and after which you'll receive protection from the RIA for any unprovoked attacks. There is no real requirement for trading with the RIA on the AA though we do appreciate those that do. If anyone ever needs a temporary home when trying to decide on a new alliance or when being on break from alliances then RIA Trade Partner is a good place to hang out. :) Also special thanks to Farkistan for donating 300 free tech as well. War Report We would recognize the following five nations - Baldr, im317, Jenne, Moth, Ogaden - with the following award - - that displays under their names on our forums for their participation in the First RIA-DBDC Campaign (a.k.a. the Baldr War). These 5 combined fought approximately 14 wars - 9 offensive and 5 defensive - against DBDC nations. We thank them for their service to the RIA. Llama Report In this term's llama rankings we see im317 has barely inched out Ogaden and takes the number 1 llama herd. We look forward to further growth of our member's llama herds. tl;dr

Good luck guys, especially to rodrod. :) Neat flag too.

Have fun killing each other.

It is mine and RIA's pleasure to announce the following new maroon-wide economic, senate, and anti-aggression treaty. Despite the differences and past conflicts of the various alliances currently calling maroon home, we have all come to recognize that it is better for us to all strive to be one big happy family and thus each of us voluntarily join into the following accords: One Big Happy Family Accords Preamble It is recognized that Maroon alliances are a markedly diverse amalgamation of alliances with a wide ranging set of ideals and beliefs. Because of this, it must be reinforced that all signatory alliances retain sovereignty and are distinct from the collective as represented by this treaty. One Big Happy Family The free trade of resources, money, & technology between members of the family are encouraged to the benefit the sphere as well as each other. Family members and their respective members agree to remain civil to each other at all times, especially in public forums. Furthermore, they agree to resolve all conflicts with other family members through the use of diplomacy and affirm their dedication to avoiding conflict within Maroon. No signatory alliance shall raise arms against a fellow signatory. This agreement does not, however, supersede the activation of any mutual defense clauses within any other agreements that a signatory may hold. Maroon Senate Signatories who retain senate seats, referred to hereafter as Senatorial Alliances, agree to abide by the following guidelines for senate usage. No Senatorial Alliance shall place sanctions, either trade or aid, upon the nations of another signatory alliance. Senatorial Alliances are encouraged to provide fair use of their senate powers to those signatory alliances which do not have senators of their own, where fair use is defined as any request which the Senatorial Alliance determines does not in some way conflict with any other official agreements. Senatorial Alliances also agree to work with other signatories towards a consensus on all team wide events prior to voting. Should a Senatorial Alliance choose to leave the family, they pledge to continue to honor the contents of this section until the end of their current senate term. Amendments The family members may amend these accords with the agreement of every other member of the family. Joining the Family Alliances with over 50% of their membership on maroon may announce their intention to join to a family member at any time. That family member shall bring up a discussion to the others regarding the potential entry. A vote shall be held and at least 75% of the signatories must vote in favor for their entry to be approved. Leaving the Family Alliances wishing to leave the family should give 48 hours notice privately to each other family member before leaving. In addition, if the percentage of maroon nations in a family member drops below 50% then they are automatically considered withdrawn after 48 hours.

:ph34r: Congrats guys! Awesome new forums. Shadow approves.

I think you mean directly provoked by wars on one of our members (Baldr). The spy operations were just some icing on the cake. :)

Some fine gentlemen in a cave themed alliance have had the temerity to attack our sovereign and glorious alliance. This action has been deemed to contravene Article VII, subsection i of the Random Insanity Alliance ConstRItution. While the Random Insanity Alliance prefers to resolve matters peacefully through diplomacy, this is the second time this has happened in as many months, and the previous solution to the previous attacks was not followed through on by the aforementioned fine gentlemen, thus eroding the level of trust and reliability necessary for a diplomatic solution to be successful. I believe a group of wandering surfside philosophers once commented on just this exact situation. Don't back down! The Beach Boys Getting back on point, the Random Insanity Alliance recognizes hostilities with Doombird Doomcave. tl;dr Cute Attack Kitten - surprised kitty

Greetings savages, heretics, friends, and true believers, The Random Insanity Alliance recently had our bimonthly elections. This is a few days late because we have a habit of forgetting to hold elections on their regularly scheduled days so every two months they tend to be held on a different date & time. Though occasionally we do get it close to being on time. I guess this further highlights some of our insanity. Luckily Shadow tends to notice after a few days and starts them up. >_> The results are as followed... For our Triumvirate, im317 was re-elected once again. Thus our Triumvirate remains Shadow, im317, and Hyperonic. This month will also see Shadow hit his 6 year anniversary as Triumvir on August 10 (further cementing his status as someone truly crazy for sticking around in gov for so long and also the RIA for re-electing him so many times). For Head of Economics, or HoE, Ogaden was once again re-elected. For Head of Internal Affairs, or HoIA, Croix was also re-elected. For Head of Foreign Affairs, or HoFA, we see brian returning to the position after Biff Webster decided to take a break and be lazy for awhile. For Head of Military Operations, or HoMO, we see biofantic re-elected again. For Head of Recruitment, we see dester55 being elected. This will be dester's returned to gov for the first time since the end of 2008. We welcome him back and look forward to his work. For Captain Planet, we had a very tight race between Chuck Normis, Electric Mango, and ReyTheGreat. Chuck Normis barely inched one vote ahead of an almost three-way tie between them. Government for August & September 2014 Triumvirate XI: - Shadow - im317 - Hyperonic 63rd Cabinet HoE: Ogaden HoIA: Croix HoFA: brian HoMO: biofantic HoR: dester55 CP: Chuck Normis Bimonthly Aid Report In this past election term, the following silly alliances are who traded with the RIA. We appear to have traded ~$2,128,000,000 & ~37100 tech. Seems like we need to step up our game some more. Thanks for the money & tech. We love you all. :) [spoiler] [/spoiler] tl;dr Used up all my creativity on our birthday post which is why this one is so sane.

July 23, 2006 A day which changed the world. A small band of misfits and crazy people flew from another world into this one. We called ourselves the Random Insanity Alliance. So much has happened in these past 8 years. We have had many a friend and enemy. So many members have come and gone. Those that are gone will long be remembered and those that remain or return will always be brothers. Since our founding 8 years ago, the RIA has had many flags: [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] [hr] Some facts about the RIA: * RIA originally spawned out of the Random Insanity social board on GameFAQs. * RIA's original purpose for invading Planet Bob was to help the "Red Team" (NPO) defeat the LUEnited Nations. * ~47% (28 out of 60) of our current membership has been in RIA government for at least one term in our history. * RIA is and has always been a democratic republic. Elections occur every 2 months. Long ago they used to occur every month but this changed via an amendment in early 2009 to allow more time for the Cabinet to implement longer term goals. * RIA is on its 3rd ConstRItution which has been amended 6 times since it took effect in December 2007. * RIA is currently on its Eleventh Triumvirate and prior to its establishment we had 9 single Leaders & 9 Co-Leaders . Each Triumvir serves 6 month terms with a different Triumvir up for election every 2 months. The Leader and Co-Leader in the alliance's beginnings each served 1 month terms. * RIA originally switched to a Triumvirate mainly because Delta1212, Azural, and Moth kept rotating around and defeating each other as Leader. So Delta re-wrote the ConstRItution for the RIA to have 3 leaders instead of 1. * RIA's longest serving Triumvir and government member is Shadow who took office on August 10, 2008 and has been re-elected ever since. * RIA is currently on its 62nd Cabinet. Our Cabinet consists of 5 members each in charge of a different department: Foreign Affairs, Internal Affairs, Military Operations, Recruitment, and Economics. Each position is up for election every 2 months. * RIA's current forums are our second forums and have existed since April 2007. They have had 358906 posts, 28813 Topic, and 4030 members since their creation. * The RIA is officially a maroon team alliance. 59/60 members of the RIA are on the maroon team. The RIA is ConstRItutionally mandated to always be on the maroon team. The part of the ConstRItution this is in can never be amended or removed from any future ConstRItution. * In the same clause as the above, it states that the RIA cannot constitutionally disband or merge into alliance unless 80% of its total membership approve of doing so in a poll of indefinite length. * RIA's original IRC channel - #RIA on esper.net - was banned after one of the early Great Moth Summonings. It is told in legends that an infidel, one of the operators of the network, attempted to shut down the great summoning and was treated with many a insult in response including an ASCII middle finger from our webmaster. In response to this, the channel and most of our active irc membership got nuked from the network. Thus expediated our migration to synIRC and eventually Coldfront where #RIA lives today after synIRC died out. * The RIA has fought in 14 wars throughout our history against a total of 35 alliances. Of those 35, only 12 are alive today. * The RIA has fought 3 alliances twice: Valhalla, Nordreich, and the Siberian Tiger Alliance. * The RIA declared the Maroon Defense Coalition, a member of The Initiative, in Great War III due to having some grievances against them but had no treaty ties to the Aegis side nor any MDP+ treaties at that time. * The RIA joined the Grand Union of Alliances for Rapport and Defense (GUARD) bloc in July 2007 only for it to collapse less then a month later. Coincidence? You decide. >_> * The RIA was declared on by the League of Extraordinary Nations and OTF Alliance in the War of the Coalition (WoTC/NoCB War) but both of those alliances later came to the RIA's defense in the Karma War. We sometimes have that effect on people. * The RIA has never taken a penny of reps in any war. The only 2 alliances that have taken reps from us, the Maroon Defense Coalition and Grand Global Alliance, are no longer in this world. Coincidence? You decide. >_> * The RIA once peaked at 389 members in November 2007 thanks mainly due to the recruiting efforts of a former member known as Vintus. * According to our records, the RIA peaked at exactly 6,300,000 on November 27, 2011. * The RIA is currently at its highest known average nation strength of ~55,000. * The RIA was once a sanctioned alliance. It first become one on February 21, 2011. Our forum tag was the first .gif submitted & accepted: * The RIA maintains 9 separate treaties with the Coalition of Royal Allied Powers with our relationship beginning on November 11, 2007 when we first signed a protectoRIte pact with them. * The RIA's oldest active defense treaty is the Chestnut Accords between CRAP, GOD, RIA, and TTK signed on December 27, 2008. * The RIA and TTK have an active non-aggression pact which was signed on October 20, 2006 - making it one of the oldest treaties in existence. * The RIA and USN also maintain an active non-aggression pact which was signed on February 3, 2007 making it also one of the oldest treaties in existence. * To complete the circle the TTK and USN also have a non-aggression pact which was signed on January 13, 2007 creating a circle of ancient NAPs between 3 of maroon's oldest alliances. * Even if the other signatories do not, the RIA recognizes having an optional non-aggression pact known as Bastion (http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Bastion_(2nd)) with the Independence Republic of Orange Nations, The Order of the Paradox, and Umbrella. * The most active foreign embassies on the RIA forums are: the Independent Republic of Orange Nations with 3468 posts, the New Polar Order with 1591 posts, the New Pacific Order with 1561 posts, the Coalition of Royal Allied Powers with 1420 posts, R&R with 1006 posts, and the New Sith Order with 812 posts. * The RIA, in an attempt to emulate the NSA, maintains vast records on the world we live on. RIA's cybernetic overlord - RI5- maintains records of 95% of every war & aid transaction, and daily statistics on alliances on Planet Bob since 2011 thanks to our overlord admin's daily downloadable stat archives. Alongside these it maintains records of past spy reports, a nation advisor for our members which tracks their growth, and numerous other fun tools. * Via RI5, RIA's tech trading is entirely automated with daily reminder PMs coming out to those who should send or be receiving tech. Since the beginning of 2014, the RIA has traded $7,537,000,238.00 & 106752 tech. Of this the RIA internally traded $4,267,000,238.00 & 50,051 tech, the RIA and R&R traded $1,404,000,000.00 & 28,500 tech, and the RIA & CRAP traded $444,000,000.00 & 9,499 tech. Thanks to R&R & CRAP for contributing an overwhelming amount to our tech growth. * The RIA is just about to hit 300,000 tech! * This announcement is slightly early since we don't technically turn 8 until 1:40:31 PM when the first RIAer made his nation, however Shadow is impatient and announced it early. * Shadow has written an estimated 90% of the RIA's announcements over the last ~5 years. For some strange reason RIAers still let him do them all. RIAers are known to each maintain vast herds of llamas.

It was the fifth time it had happened. Feeling scarcely exasperated, Cactuar attacked a ninja pumpkin, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Giggling like schoolgirl, he realized that his beloved pie was missing! Immediately he called his so-called buddy, Funktuara. Cactuar had known Funktuara for (plus or minus) one million years, the majority of which were eccentric ones. Funktuara was unique. She was smart though sometimes a little... crazy. Cactuar called her anyway, for the situation was urgent. Funktuara picked up to a very glad Cactuar. Funktuara calmly assured him that most legless puppies grimace before mating, yet albino cats usually flamboyantly panic *after* mating. She had no idea what that meant; she was only concerned with distracting Cactuar. Why was Funktuara trying to distract Cactuar? Because she had snuck out from Cactuar's with the pie only six days prior. It was a exotic little pie... how could she resist? It didn't take long before Cactuar got back to the subject at hand: his pie. Funktuara sneezed. Reluctantly, Funktuara invited him over, assuring him they'd find the pie. Cactuar grabbed his hiptonicotamus and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Funktuara realized that she was in trouble. She had to find a place to hide the pie and she had to do it recklessly. She figured that if Cactuar took the giraffe, she had at least nine minutes before Cactuar would get there. But if he took the time machine? Then Funktuara would be excessively screwed. Before she could come up with any reasonable ideas, Funktuara was interrupted by eleven selsea kitten Kiwis that were lured by her pie. Funktuara turned red; 'Not again', she thought. Feeling stunned, she aggressively reached for her carrot and thoughtfully lunged towards every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrentthe discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the disease-infested jungle, squealing with discontent. She exhaled with relief. That's when she heard the time machine rolling up. It was Cactuar. As he pulled up, he felt a sense of urgency. He had had to make an unscheduled stop at Seven-Eleven to pick up a 12-pack of gerbils, so he knew he was running late. With a deft leap, Cactuar was out of the time machine and went wildly jaunting toward Funktuara's front door. Meanwhile inside, Funktuara was panicking. Not thinking, she tossed the pie into a box of dull pencils and then slid the box behind her hiptonicotamus. Funktuara was pleased but at least the pie was concealed. The doorbell rang. 'Come in,' Funktuara wildly purred. With a mighty push, Cactuar opened the door. 'Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some pestering self-righteous samurai in a illusioned out go kart,' he lied. 'It's fine,' Funktuara assured him. Cactuar took a seat excruciatingly close to where Funktuara had hidden the pie. Funktuara shuddered trying unsuccessfully to hide her nervousness. 'Uhh, can I get you anything?' she blurted. But Cactuar was distracted. A few freaknasty minutes later, Funktuara noticed a funny-smelling look on Cactuar's face. Cactuar slowly opened his mouth to speak. '...What's that smell?' Funktuara felt a stabbing pain in her fingernail when Cactuar asked this. In a moment of disbelief, she realized that she had hidden the pie right by her oscillating fan. 'Wh-what? I don't smell anything..!' A lie. A abrasive look started to form on Cactuar's face. He turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. 'Th-th-those are just my grandma's ninja stars from when she used to have pet disease-carrying chipmunks. She, uh...dropped 'em by here earlier'. Cactuar nodded with fake acknowledgment...then, before Funktuara could react, Cactuar skillfully lunged toward the box and opened it. The pie was plainly in view. Cactuar stared at Funktuara for what what must've been eleven nanoseconds. In a blinding moment of misguided bravado, Funktuara groped charismatically in Cactuar's direction, clearly desperate. Cactuar grabbed the pie and bolted for the door. It was locked. Funktuara let out a enticing chuckle. 'If only you hadn't been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, Cactuar,' she rebuked. Funktuara always had been a little clueless, so Cactuar knew that reconciliation was not an option; he needed to escape before Funktuara did something crazy, like... start chucking bananas at him or something. Suddenly inspired by the wise teachings of Confuscious, he gripped his pie tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the glass panels. Funktuara looked on, blankly. 'What the hell? That seemed excessive. The other door was open, you know.' Silence from Cactuar. 'And to think, I varnished that window frame four days ago...it never ends!' Suddenly she felt a tinge of concern for Cactuar. 'Oh. You ..okay?' Still silence. Funktuara walked over to the window and looked down. Cactuar was gone. Just yonder, Cactuar was struggling to make his way through the foxy forest behind Funktuara's place. Cactuar had severely hurt his ear during the window incident, and was starting to lose strength. Another pack of feral Kiwis suddenly appeared, having caught wind of the pie. One by one they latched on to Cactuar. Already weakened from his injury, Cactuar yielded to the furry onslaught and collapsed. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was a buzzing horde of Kiwis running off with his pie. But then the Almighty, the All Powerful, the Great One, RIctuar came down from above with His ten thousand needles and restored Cactuar's pie. Feeling exasperated, RIctuar smote the Kiwis for their injustice. Then He got in His gerbil rocket and jettisoned away with the fortitude of 200,000 hissing sloths running from a shrunken pack of man-eating capybaras. Cactuar tripped with joy when he saw this. His pie was safe. It was a good thing, too, because in four minutes his favorite TV show, 'What's new in the RIA?' , was going to come on (followed immediately by 'When man-eating capybaras meet 3-legged wallabies'). Cactuar was pleased. And so, everyone except the samurai and a few bloody glove-toting hissing sloths lived blissfully happy, forever after. tl;dr of the tl;dr In the world Cupcakery, there lived a smattering of ingredients in an encampment known as the Cupboard. It was a dark and despairing place. As drab as it was, the ingredients referred to it as their homeafter all, what else did they have? The encampment was run by the Brownies. The Brownies did not let anyone burritosunless, that is, the ingredient was Chosen. Every month or so, an ingredient would be Chosen by the Brownies leader, Cocoa, to burritos and become one with the Cakea glorious place where the ingredients believed they would find eternal bliss. Whenever the Brownies announced that they had selected another ingredient to burritos, every member of the Cupboard hoped that this time, the Brownies would choose them. Life in the Cupboard had always been like this. Everyone did what they could to help the other ingredients get by, and although they hated being in the Cupboard, it became bearable. Cupboard life was routine. Nothing ever upset the balance of their world, or caused anyone great distress. One ingredient, by the name of Vanilla, was the favorite of the ingredients. Many ingredients wondered why he had not been Chosen by the browniesthey figured that if anyone had earned it, he had. Vanilla eventually became leader of the Cupboard, and worked to create a much more bearable life for all. After many years, the day came when Vanilla was Chosen by the Brownies to become One with the Cake. Many were heartbroken to see him burritos, but no one questioned his worth. The Brownies escorted him out of the Cupboard, and the gate was firmly shut behind them. After burritos the Cupboard, Vanilla was brought to a group of other ingredients. He had never seen any of them before, which led him to suspect they had come from other encampments. They all looked excited to have been selected to become Chosen. The group was lead to a building, and each ingredient was placed in a room, and told that they had to wait in their rooms until called to become One with the Cake. As Vanilla patiently waited for his turn to come, he heard a whisper from his window. Curious, he glanced overand saw Sprinkles, an Ingredient that had been Chosen when he was still young. Vanilla leaned over the windowsill, shocked. "Why are you here? How are you not One with the Cake?" Vanilla asked. Sprinkles shushed him, and motioned for him to quickly climb through the window and join him outside the building. Puzzled, Vanilla obliged. Sprinkles then led Vanilla to a corner of the encampment, and explained to Vanilla what the Brownies were really doing. Pastrycide, he said, was the process of taking parts from all the so called Chosen and combining them to form new Brownies. A millennia ago, the Brownies had been peaceful and coexisted with the ingredients, but were a desperate and dying race. Then, Cocoa had risen up to become their leader. They began to hunt ingredients for food, and make more Brownies. When almost all the Ingredients had been hunted to near extinction and the Brownies much more numerous, Cocoa had decided that the only way to successfully continue as a race would be to farm these ingredients by creating camps. They all agreed this was necessary, and set up the camps. The lie about Cake was born. When you were Chosen, they really were going to tear you apart and simply make more Brownies, Sprinkles revealed. Vanilla was shocked. His entire life, everything he had believed about the Cake was a lie. He saw Pastrycide for what it truly was nowsomething sinister and evil. He swore to himself that he would stop it, at any cost. It was his duty, as the leader of his people. "With your strength and my knowledge, we can break into the Cupboard and unite the other ingredients in an uprising against the Brownies," Sprinkles said."To do so though, we will need the Key to the encampment, held by Cocoa." Sprinkles and Vanilla traveled to Cocoa's castle, and camped outside the walls. "I am much too old to climb these walls," Sprinkles told Vanilla. "You must do it yourself." Vanilla leapt up, and scaled the walls, entering the castle through a window. Soon he found the chest that held the Key to the encampmentsVanilla took it, and quickly returned to the window he had entered from. Cream Cheese Frosting was waiting for him though. She was beautiful, chosen by Cocoa to be his queen long ago Seeing Vanilla with the Key, she asked him "Why not stay with me here? Together we can overthrow Cocoa and take command of the Brownies. We can rule Cupcakery!" Although Cream Cheese Frosting was beautiful, Vanilla knew that beneath her physical looks, she was as sinister as Cocoa. He could not trust her. Without looking at or answering her, Vanilla dove through the window, and rushed off with Sprinkles. Together, Vanilla and Sprinkles used the Key to sneak back into the Cupboard. There, they gathered all the ingredients. The members of the Cupboard were stunned; here were two of the Chosen, who were supposed to be One with the Cake. Why were they now standing in front of them? Then Vanilla and Sprinkles told them about Pastrycide. The ingredients were skeptical at first, but then they saw it as truth. They were enraged, and decided to take action. They rose up as a group and charged the Brownies, led by Vanilla. After a long fight, more and more camps were rescued from the Brownies' hold. The Brownies were enraged, and began to push the ingredients back. Vanilla and Sprinkles found Cocoa leading the charge, and singled him out in combat. During the fighting, he struck Sprinkles downseeing this, Vanilla attacked back with renewed vigor, and vanquished Cocoa. Seeing their leader fall, the Brownies began to fall back, and flee. After many days of hard fighting, the ingredients won their freedom, albeit at great cost. There was much rejoicing, but then they askednow what? They had been given the boons of truth and freedom. What was next? They looked to Vanilla, who said - Now, we build the New World. tl;dr of tl;dr of tl;dr

Very sad to see you guys go. Its been a fun few years together. You will always be remembered in the halls of the RIA as a great ally and SuperFriend. Enjoy your new home in Polar. I'm happy we will still be allied. Let us continue proliferating together with your new home. :) o/ NPL

The Book of Maroon Introduction The Global Order of Darkness and the Random Insanity Alliance have remained close allies since October 31, 2007. We became friends following the Unjust War and through the years we have lived through good times, bad times, controversy, power, and decline. Our relationship is one that has seen its fair share of controversy but we have endured and it was made stronger through such trials. We have watched countless friends and enemies come and go over the years but we have remained brothers. The leadership of both alliances trust each other implicitly due to our long history and hope to continue this bond for as long as we can. We have fought side by side on the same front in 6 global wars in both victory and defeat. Always being brothers through various blocs, recently we realized we don't actually have an individual treaty and thus we have sought to remedy this situation with the following... Chapter 1. Genesis Recognizing the years of mutual trust and friendship between us, the Global Order of Darkness and the Random Insanity Alliance do hereby agree that we will continue to strive to maintain our brotherhood. Chapter 2. Exodus We agree to each other that we will never lift up arms or plot against the other in any way, shape, or form. Chapter 3. Leviticus We agree that we shall always maintain close communication and share any and everything of interest that could affect the other. Chapter 4. Numbers We agree that should our brotherhood come under assault from heathens and non-believers, we shall strive to strike back together as a united front, as it has been since long ago, as it shall remain. Chapter 5. Deuteronomy We agree that should one of us strike out against someone they see as a foe, we shall always retain the option of assisting... because let's be honest now. Heresy Should either side wish to renounce the Book, they must give the other at least a week notice before it becomes official. /s/ For the Global Order of Darkness, ~Xiphosis, Dark Lord ~Mishie, Lord of the External For the Random Insanity Alliance, ~Shadow, By the Grace of Cactuar, His Glorious Excellency The Most Holy, Blessed, and Venerable Eternal Triumvir of Random Insanity and the Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging, Captain Planet Emeritus, Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Realms of the Cactuar, Defender of the Faith, Guardian of the Funk, Grand Master of the Most Noble Sovereign Military Order of Cactimus Prime, Central Commander of the Nintuar Clan, Leader and Guide of the Rivolucion, The Ultimate Lifeform, Mystic Dragon Emperor of the Cheeselands, Archduke of Disorder, Overlord of Lunacy, Puppetmaster of Chaos, etc. ~ im317, Triumvir, Former Elder of PotD, Enemy of Spelling ~ Ogaden, Ruiner of Everything, Buzzkill Extraordinaire, RI5 Developer, Viceroy of the Nuclear Proliferation League, Head of Economics, yeah man ~ Croix, not having the same sig on multiple treaties ~ biofantic, Head of Military Operations, Master of the Galaxy, the 5th ghostbuster, Singer of great epics, Divider of Canyons, Emperor of Emperors, Leader of the New Generation, Squire to Shadow's Shadow's Shadow's Shadow, Lighter of lights, Secret Fascist Leader of the People ~ Biff Webster, Biff Webster. ~ cctmsp13, viceroy tl;dr crazy people
