Sad to see this cancellation [quote name='The MVP' timestamp='1290900016' post='2524876'] Attack Batallion on a bad CB. [/quote] Technically Batallion attacked TKTB, but what's done is done

Questions 1) Why is there no Meshaal in gov? 2) When is SOS Declaring on us? I grow impatient 3) Who is the sexiest TIOer? A more serious one 4) Has SOS been getting friendly with someone in particular since their loss of an ally? Last I checked you only had 2 MDP+ treaties.

That would be starting a war on the day of Thanksgiving, not declaring war on Thanksgiving And funny looking Turkey in the OP

[quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1290750589' post='2523572'] Finally! Four years of pissing people off, and not one rogue until now. You better not disappoint me. [/quote] Skippy, doing it better than Xiphosis since 2009* *Had 3 rogues hit me late last year

[quote name='Politician' timestamp='1290614389' post='2522125'] Skippy, why did you make me post here? Also, cats or dogs? [/quote] TIO controls (with a little help from IAA) Synergy remember? Your initiative is long gone my friend. Bears > Dogs > Cats

[quote name='nutkase' timestamp='1290589476' post='2522006'] Would you sell me skippy? [/quote] Would I sell *you?* or would I sell you myself? [quote name='Gibsonator21' timestamp='1290588981' post='2522005'] How much more awesome is GATO than LoSS? [/quote] Well LoSS lets me in their members chan, I'm awaiting my access for GATO's members chan LoSS get's a 1up there [quote name='Jgoods45' timestamp='1290592261' post='2522010'] How much tech would you pay me to join your alliance? :3 How much have I pissed you off in the past few months? Would you upgrade with Athens if it where proposed tomorrow? I you guys. [/quote] We don't buy members You've had your moments Well, naturally it would have to be discussed and voted on, it's possible though

Actually Scorponok is Hulk Hogan :V

[quote name='Wu Tang Clan' timestamp='1290550999' post='2521486'] 2 Questions: Are you ok with IAA being the pimps of Sirius? Where did our ambassador go? [/quote] 1. I wish they'd give us a better share of the pay though... 2. Mido ended up joining us, then left us about a week later to found his own alliance (even asked us for a protectorate, that was turned down by the entire gov [quote name='The MVP' timestamp='1290551873' post='2521502'] Why are you the way that you are? [/quote] Because we aren't the way we aren't? We make decisions based on what we see as the best option for both ourselves and our allies. Simple as that. [quote name='Fernando12' timestamp='1290551915' post='2521503'] What is the difference between the original TIO and this TIO? Leadership differences? I forget who the old Leader and Government were. Any specific goals that you have set to accomplish be it statistically or in areas of FA? Why is TIO in 2 blocs and do you plan on staying in both or leaving one? Also, I request that Tarik be slapped with a rather large trout on a daily basis [/quote] 1. Well in this TIO, we've got a different government (with the exception of a couple who are still here from the previous incarnation, myself included), different charter, new set of allies (with the exception of NpO), and the knowledge of where we went wrong previously. We've come out far stronger as a result of this. 2. You can see our timeline of our government [url="http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/The_Imperial_Order_(2nd)#Government_History"]here[/url] 3. As outlined earlier, all we really are working on FA wise is increasing our with our present allies. 4. Sirius is a unity bloc, Synergy is a military bloc. We have no thought on leaving either. This isn't the first case of this happening, take a look at SF and Chestnut, there's 4 alliances which are in both blocs. 5. This process has been in motion for quite some time [quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' timestamp='1290556259' post='2521571'] Does TIO Synergy? [/quote] Of course we do [quote name='AvengingAngel256' timestamp='1290565947' post='2521689'] As for the last one, I would say that's true as far as I know (The limited contact part. I don't believe we currently have a Diplomat visiting TIO, or vice versa. Edit: Superfriends? [/quote] Superfriends, we'd be neutral to them as well. Personally I've never been in an alliance that had a high amount of contact with a SF alliance. Not for any particular reason, I've just had nothing to do with them on an official basis. [quote name='AvengingAngel256' timestamp='1290565947' post='2521689'] What do you guys think about Blue as a Color Sphere? It Sirius and Synergy ended up declaring war on each other and due to vague CBs it was unclear who the aggressor is, which side would TIO fall on? What's TIO's favorite thing to do with their time off? Alcoholic Drink of Choice? Who would be TIO's Mascot? [/quote] 1. Blue's a great sphere, it has been my favourite sphere that I've been a part of (I've been active on Aqua, White, and now Blue). I've met some great people on the blue sphere, as seen by several of our treaties 2. Technically we'd be obliged to be on the Synergy side, due to the treaty being stronger, however Sirius and Synergy naturally both have an NAP clause, so we'd be neutral. I'd hate to see something like that happen 3. Taking over the world (ooc: via Civ 5, I'm currently in the process of doing this ) 4.

At least you lasted longer than Jgoods did when a long time leader gave him the leadership position Sad to see you step down, I had high hopes for you as leader of TOOL Mia Good luck Dak, you are a great choice the fill Mia's shoes.

Congrats guys! Keve

[quote name='Brenann' timestamp='1290515385' post='2521168'] I have managed to secure the keys to your Imperial Liquor cabinet. What are you going to do about it? Also, What is TIO's goals for the next 30 days? Is there any big news we should be expecting (please say its Skippy getting removed from office) Skippy [/quote] As long as you share the drinks, we don't really mind As for our goals, FA wise we're not really working on anything new, I think we're in a comfortable position treatywise right now. Internally, we're working on the usual, growing those younger nations, bulking up older nations with tech deals. We've got a few aid programs that are coming into shape this month, should see a few more nukes on the board in the coming months, not just from new members. Unfortunately for you, I've made no plans to overthrow myself, so I'll be in office quite some time

[quote name='Sarmatian Empire' timestamp='1290511130' post='2521139'] When are you going to stop these Q&A's? [/quote] Well, we won't post any more, just to appease you. But I can only assure you one won't go up for about 30 days.

[quote name='Greywall' timestamp='1290492697' post='2521046'] Would you ride a tiger made of fire that had laser eyes in order to show your affection towards GATO? Or would you rather ride this guy [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JmpkIMgnzIE/SmeN8lDOUuI/AAAAAAAAhY8/QV99iHAmEbc/s400/ugly-guy+3.jpg[/img] And pretty much just say you hate us [/quote] Define ride... But yeah, that Tiger's sounding pretty good though [quote name='Jyrinx' timestamp='1290497205' post='2521082'] Can the Ministry have a 100% increase in funding [s]since I accidentally embezzled the entire budget[/s] to help combat the plantain shortage in the western part of the Empire? [/quote] The IHC approves of this

[quote name='TheListener' timestamp='1290489017' post='2521001'] oh no you don't openly rank your allies but you've totally proven just how much you love the IAA... how dare you put us at the bottom of your list? [/quote] We love you all equally, but we love IAA more equally than others ( ), hell we have 3 treaties with you!

[quote name='Jay Z' timestamp='1290488352' post='2520986'] Care to rank your allies (you personally, it wouldn't necessarily be taken as your alliances official stance)? [/quote] I don't think I could do that Jay Z, personally I view them all equally. I wouldn't sign a treaty with someone I view less than our present allies (My viewpoint from TIO's creation). They are all very close friends.

[quote name='Greywall' timestamp='1290488209' post='2520983'] What is the flight velocity of a swallow? [/quote] Is it carrying a coconut? It also depends on whether you are talking about an African or European swallow. The average airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow is 11 meters per second, or 24 miles per hour

[quote name='supercoolyellow' timestamp='1290487697' post='2520973'] IF you could draft one person to join your alliance who would it be? If we went back three months, and told you that you would be joining Synergy, would you have be surprised? [/quote] Jyrinx or Dilber That's a tough one, we've been very close to IAA, so that aspect helped a lot. However we didn't know GATO or LoSS as well, so naturally the time we have taken in the past few months to get to know them certainly added up. So to answer the question, if you said that three months down the line we definitely were joining Synergy, I would be pleasantly surprised

Alliances still actually worked hard to make the acronym of AZTEC, thus making my statement valid Hizzy

[quote name='hizzy' timestamp='1290148968' post='2517179'] retarded OP aside, I !@#$@#$ hate it when alliances try too hard to make an acronym. DONT FORCE IT. [/quote] So I take it you're a big fan AZTEC's name?

[quote name='Believland' timestamp='1290207870' post='2517715'] TIO might be the only one of actual promise. [/quote] That might be the most positive thing you've said about us, ever. Thanks!

Somebody has a lot of spare time Nice work with this

Skippy/PHD, our alliances are taking over blocs. Fear us.

Oh no, not him... Good luck NADC, you'll need it with ol' Freddie

Spelled my name wrong Rush Congrats to all and such
