Congratulations to both of you, good luck in your futures together!

[quote name='Mandellav' timestamp='1294037027' post='2561694'] I appreciate the compliment, but I have done the overwhelming majority of =LOST= announcements for the past year. I thought each as cleverly penned and visually gripping as this announcement, but honestly, who reads what's happening in =LOST= anyway? Rest assured, no one in Athens has a wordsmith nearly as linguistically gifted as the most amateur writer in =LOST=. This furthers =LOST='s hypothesis that Athens should just disband for they constantly litter these hallowed announcement chambers with their illiterate drivel.[/quote] Oh I have been most aware of such, as I have followed them. Was merely stating that I hope to see you continue the postings under the new title. Congratulations on your respite, however I must say that a true evil leader would die from exhaustion at the helm rather than relinquish power. I begin to doubt your dark side cred.... >_>

[quote name='Arrnea' timestamp='1294033326' post='2561623'] That was pretty well done. Kudos to you, Fark. [/quote] Agreed, very well done, hats off to you all!

Wow, you folks have been busy over there! Congratulations, and good luck on the new charter and to the new government.

[quote name='Mandellav' timestamp='1294000491' post='2561059'] Suckle upon the bone marrow of the Defeated. Euthanize the hordes of curs Before you. Skin them alive. Offer me Their pelts so I may wear them in this life And in the perpetual world come next. [/quote] lol, well done visualization there, looking forward to your continued posting as MoFA, good sir Mandellav. GOod luck to the new government. Also am I the only one who finds it odd that there are term limits on an office titled "Emperor"?

It is a friendship based not upon shared politics or ideologies. Nor is it is a friendship rooted solely in shared common ground, but also in the respect of each others differences. We recognize that honor is a central tenet that is not just believed in by both of us, but lived. Although there is no shared honor code, it is that we live by our own honor codes, even when there are differences between them, that connects us. It is our understanding that even when differences arise, we are always acting by our honor code, that has allowed the friendship between us to not just grow but thrive. It is with this spirit of friendship, honor, and brotherhood in mind that we have chosen the following oath. In the name of the Blessed Brigade, the AOD Brigade does hereby swear to defend and assist Avalon in the event of conflict, to the extent that our honor allows. Assistance may take whatever form is deemed best by both allies, and is not limited to any single form of assistance. Information, intelligence, aid, trade, and other forms of communications both tangible and intangible, are to be encouraged in the spirit of brotherhood, friendship, and honor. So say we all. Sworn this day, for the AOD Brigade, January 1st, 2011.

Truly a life of value shared can bring together strangers to ties closer than natural family. Such has been the experience for the Ladies and Lords of Avalon relationship with our compatriots in the AOD Brigade. A friendship forged of the most powerful element, that of mutual respect and admiration for both one anothers differences as much as our similarities. It is within this fostering environment that the relationship between Avalon and the AOD Brigade has developed and matured. As the formal public recognition and pronouncement of such being long over due, we the Ladies and Lords of Avalon wish to take the opportunity to use the occasion of our anniversary to recitfy the situation, thus symbolizing just how dear to our heart we hold our AOD Brigade family. Thus the Ladies and Lords of Avalon do swear this oathe of fidelity with the AOD Brigade and recognize the pledge of the Blessed Brigade. May Admin and his most Holy Mods grant both of us the guidance, strength, and wisdom that long may we walk this path together in honour. As the troubles of our sisters and brothers are as the troubles of ourselves, in all chivalrous matters and actions we shall strive to render aid of whatever honourable sort we may, should they require and request our assistance. Should as a matter of honour or principle we come to disagreement as all families invariably may, let our quarrel be brief and our familial love be eternal. Long Live AOD Brigade! Long Live Avalon! Mods Save the Queen! Decreed in the year of our Mods and Holy Admin Kevin, this day Saturday, The First of January, Two-Thousand-and-Eleven by Her Royal Ladyship and Supreme Majesty, Queen Kandria, Sovereign of all Avalon Signed for the Prime Minister of His Majesty's Government: First Lord of Avalon, Subotai, Lord of Blades of Shadow Signed for the Foreign Office of His Majesty's Government: Foreign Secretary, SyndicatedINC, Lord of Schwertbruder Signed for the Houses of Avalon by the Home Office: Lord High Chancellor, David der Grosse, Lord of New Nippon[/quote] [img]http://i.livescience.com/images/060703_fireworks_ny_02.jpg[/img] In addition both AOD Brigade and Avalon have double the reason to celebrate as both celebrate or are preparing to celebrate the third anniversary of their charter adoption and founding. Let the fireworks above both lands flare for the season. *reason for edit- to recenter images

[quote name='Xiphosis' timestamp='1293978405' post='2560821'] Viva Provost. [/quote] Agreed, *bows* All hail the master!

-15, 155 =89% -15, 160 =92% -36, 141 =81% I would suggest someone try -20, 165 next

Good luck with the restructuring!

Congratulations our Purple brothers on beating the odds. Here is to another year and many more!

Truly heartfelt congratulations to both parties, may your path together serve you both well. @Pansy, I think valhalla just wanted the opportunity to make the "ironchefjoe" jokes.

[quote name='Margrave' timestamp='1293775851' post='2559030'] Says the man with Mad Max in his avatar. Strange, no? Damsky, you know, I don't know if I should support this or not. For One, Warrior Concept is my friend and an \m/ alumni, and "Doing whatever the hell you want" is a central tenet in both of our philosophies. But you are attacking Celestial Being, therefore also doing "Whatever the hell you want". So I suppose I must agree with both of you...very strange, perhaps the signs of a better 'Verse. It's actually clean of moral bs and whining; I guarantee that WC won't come out and be "LolMoralist" on the subject, and though you do drink of the Vox kool-aid (writing style, my friend) you are also not another complaining moralist. How awesome is that? EDIT: OH MY SWEET CONFEDERATE JESUS, YOU HAVE RETURNED. WALFORD, YOU FATHER OF MORALISM, HOW THE CYBERVERSE HATH MISSED YOU. [/quote] Margrave you pretty much stole everything I had to say on the subject and then some, right down to the epic edit. I find it at once both frustrating and astounding at the same time.

Congratulations on a first step, good luck growing the relationship further.

Congratulations to both of you, may this serve you both well!

Oh a birthday party, any excuse for booze and food I suppose is a good one, congratulations!

Well as you asked so nicely I would be most glad to visit your IRC channel from time to time and get to know you. Feel free to send a merchant vessel to our islands ports anytime.

[quote name='HawkeyeNation' timestamp='1293133953' post='2551838']That's right, The Templar Knights are now under the control of a wiccan priest [/quote] Methinks this may have been purposely set up just for that joke If so, or even if not, either way, well done, quite humorous! Anyway congratulations and good luck

From an alliance that is right behind you on that mark, our most hearty congratulations on a job well done. Here is to another three for both of us!

Quality as always Sir Paul, long may you reign!

Congrats to our friends at NEAT. We shall watch this develop with interest.

Grahamkeatley, your long and stable reign has given us all a shining example to follow. A remarkable achievement you have made, and the world will surely be the tiniest bit poorer now without you at the helm. Keeping in mind the very large shoes you have left to fill, we wish our sincerest and deep felt good wishes to Mia. May you rule wise, may you rule long, may you rule just.

Astounding declaration, positively brilliant, a hearty congratulations to you all. An additional deep felt appreciation for a gorgeous picture by Seipher Caim. May your alliance, your membership, and your protectors prosper together.

It is truly sad to see HoG end once again. I do hope to see it rise once more. Hopefully with more Zikawe and Ocho.

Congratulations to both parties. Truly may this friendship help lead you both into a bright and nerdy future together.
