[center][img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v397/Ericadia/ev/bird_polar.png[/img][/center] I am here to announce a change in the government of the New Polar Order. With great sadness I inform you after eight months of leading us Emperor Arctic Penguin has decided he misses the easy life of Imperial Fish Taster too much to continue. (OOC - RL is really busy for him). We love our Penguin dearly and thank him from the bottom of our hearts for all he has done. As per our charter the Emperor has chosen his successor. With great happiness I announce the ascension of RandomInterrupt, Emperor of The New Polar Order. With the great courage, determination, and honour, Random is the epitome of what it is to be Polar and we are excited to serve him. [center]......................................[/center] While I have your attention I would like to raise another issue. Just hours before Arctic Penguin announced his decision to retire a splinter group left to form their own alliance, [url="http://www.cybernations.net/allNations_display_alliances.asp?Alliance=Crimson%20Fists"]Crimson Fists[/url] . The leader of this group is our now former Minister of Peace, Grumpdogg. Considering he was serving as Minister here while covertly organising to leave with friends it is fair to say they have not left on good terms. As an act of mercy Emperor Random has decided we will not be pursuing these nations. We do however ask all alliances to review the list of members and demask any who are registered on your boards as NpO Diplomats. o/ Polaris

Congratulations Skippy and TIO. This just seems right to me.

It has been great fun but the 19th CN time so two days to go, not one

[quote name='Mr Damsky' timestamp='1286941986' post='2483197'] I don't see how any of that changes the fact that you sucked up to Polar but I guess it all makes sense...in your mind. [/quote] This amused me greatly. Ivan doesn't need defending but he sure as hell has never sucked up to us!

[quote name='snibbmaster' timestamp='1286805054' post='2481487'] Did you really just go there? The reason we would not be [i]obligated[/i] as you say is because [b]our bloc ties are stronger than our ties to UPN (MDAP vs MDoAP). Since one of our bloc members had ties to GOONS, we would be defending GOONS long before any UPN activation of the treaty.[/b] But of course, you can't resist with that old "Optional" Business can you? [/quote] I like some ODN and Goons, and I have no axe to grind with either of them but I think this says it all. ODN's treaty with UPN only counted if C & G approved. I see people out there trying to dump on UPN, ODN and Goons and suggesting who should be re-evaluating there treaties with who. The truth is the only evaluating that needs to be done is to ask if it's worth holding a treaty with someone in an MDAP bloc.

See the Mighty Turtles roar! Well done guys you are doing it right.

Happy third birthday RoK, awesome people, an awesome alliance and awesome allies. It's a privilege to be friends with you.

Isn't it funny how people criticise UPN for having conflicting treaties which left them stuck in the middle in the past and then criticise them again when they try to avoid it in the future. o/ UPN don't listen to the haters.

Fernando is right that we don't live on the owf all that much, he's just wrong about how much support our allies have. Congratulations guys

I love seeing alliances grow up. I also love seeing Allies sign treaties with friends. This is full of win, congratulations to both!

Very happy to see this. Congratulations

[quote name='Timeline' timestamp='1282120841' post='2421377'] Everyone is talking about \M/ acting tough and posturing, but come on, its STA, the only reason people back down or even like STA has nothing to do with the toothless tiger, more to do with the fact that STA are so far up NpO back side, you never know when NpO stop and STA start. FACT of life, \M/ did not back down from STA, \M/ Backed down from NpO, because no alliance would back down from STA, come on get real people, I would bet that STA had to ask NpO for permission before even starting this whole order deal, just like Valhalla with NPO........... I would like to see STA try and stand on its own two feet, they would fall just like Valhalla and it would be funny. [/quote] Not that you deserve an answer, but for the sake of those who don't know how it really works. STA never ask our permission to do anything, we are allied because we trust each other. In this particular case I was the one contacted and I can tell you it was exactly as stated by STA. They informed us what they are doing. No asking, no checking numbers or any of that garbage, just straight informing their allies what they were doing. You would need to be a very stupid leader to think STA aren't independent thinkers with strong leadership.

We are proud to be allied to such a fine and noble alliance as STA and support you 100% o/ STA

So good to see a post from the greatest fat cat to walk the face of Planet Bob. o/ Uhtred

Some positions are still elected in Polaris. As someone who doesn't know you old timers I am delighted to see this happen. Planet Bob can only be a more interesting place with the extra personalities back in the picture.

[quote name='Uralica' timestamp='1280019867' post='2387854'] If Ronin = awesome and Gondor = awesome, does that mean this treaty = awesome^2? I R CAN MATHZ All silliness aside, congratulations. AirMe and Chey [/quote] Indeed the maths is correct. awesome^2

Welcome to Blue BCOM, you should have been here from the start!

Even I disagree with Fallen on this one and I have the highest respect for him. You have my sympathy on this matter TOP. Finding out someone you like and respect is cheating is disappointing enough. Having them then try to wreck your home is awful. No amount of political hostility makes news like this fun to read.

This must be the stupidest DOW in history. Any nation attacking ARES is also attacking us. Expect Polar Bear visits soon.

It's resolved. Let it rest in peace now.

Honestly Zeke has done all he can do now IMO. If it's not enough than that's a clear admission the whole thing is just an excuse to give OO a hard time.

Well done Zeke, I like this announcement very much.

[quote name='Voytek' date='25 June 2010 - 04:30 AM' timestamp='1277400595' post='2348841'] Time for the gag order yet? [/quote] We really try hard not to go there these days. I think it's obvious to all but I will make it clear just in case. DictatorDan's views do not represent Polaris but himself. As a loyal member and a nation ruler he is entitled to his own views even if I don't agree with them.

[quote name='FallenFool' date='21 June 2010 - 11:11 AM' timestamp='1277079051' post='2344297'] Regardless, the past is the past. Time to bury our half of the hatchet and move on. [/quote] This represents my feelings on the matter as well.
