Recommended Posts

Greetings my fellow nation leader. My name is USMC123, and I am here to inform you all that you have just lost the game.

Why you might ask? Quite simple really. Since Tetris's 25th Anniversary on June 6, 2009, there has been a growing presence of this game on Planet Bob. Tetris is unbeatable, and therefor you lose.

Succumb to Tetris or suffer the consequences as our blocks crush you in our path to alignment.

The Official Charter of Tetris

Knowing that we must always pick song Type A.

Ignoring the laws of gravity, by leaving empty gaps for our children to fill.

Mastering the art of the easy spin.

Can you feel it?

Realizing that no Tetrad can make a line alone.

Understanding that we must all rotate in 90 degree intervals, so that all Tetromino’s may disappear to the score board.

In our disappearance, we will become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

But wait, there's more!

We would also like to announce our first treaty! Our great friends at Ragnarok decide to sign this beauty of a document:

The Ragnarok + Tetris = Love Accords

Preamble

Few may know it, but Vikings happen to LOVE video games. They are chilling in the arcade every day, hiding their identities as nerds of epic proportion. A few weeks ago, a few members of Tetris managed to discover the identity of the Viking called Twinkle. Tetris used this information to blackmail the Ragnarok into having a nice sit down dinner and movie. After this surprisingly wonderful date, RoK decided it wasn’t so bad to be associated with these nerds and agreed to this here treaty.

Article I: Sovereignty

It must be understood that both alliances are sovereign and independent alliances. Either alliance undertaking any aggressive or defensive action against other entities not included in this agreement does so without implication of the other signatory.

Article II: Non-Aggression

The signatories commit to pursuing friendly and respectful relations. Both agree that they will not engage in hostilities towards each other. This includes but is not limited to direct military action, supporting of third parties in conflict with the other signatory and/or in-game spying.

Article III: Mutual Defense

If one of the signatories is attacked by a third party, the other signatory is required to provide assistance (both military and financial) as requested by the defender. However, if either signatory declares war using an optional clause from another treaty, and thus attacked as a result, the defense clause herein shall become Optional Defense and not Mutual Defense.

Article IV: Optional Aggression

If one signatory chooses to initiate aggressive action against a third party, the other signatory is encouraged, but not obligated, to provide assistance (financially and/or militarily).

Article V: Intelligence

Section 1:

If a member of either signatory comes across intelligence that is related to the safety and well being of the other signatory then it is required of the discovering signatory to report this as quickly as possible to the endangered signatory.

Section 2:

If either signatory is aware that they are about to be attacked by a third party, they are, unless impossible, to inform the other signatory.

Section 3:

If either signatory receives intelligence from a third party not in relation to either signatory, they are not obliged to share this intelligence.

Article VI: Financial Assistance

Both signatories agree that neither is legally bound to grant requests of financial aid from the other, except in the case of Article III. Both signatories are encouraged to do so in the interest of friendship and building a healthy diplomatic and economic relationship, however requests may be denied with or without reason.

Article VII: Espionage

Both signatories pledge not to engage in espionage against each other or any other alliance. Espionage is defined in this article as the hacking of, planting of members, or any other extra-game activities to intentionally gain intelligence on the other signatory. Breaking of this term will immediately trigger Article VIII.

Article VIII: Termination

While it is hoped this treaty will never be cancelled, we recognize it is possible, albeit unlikely, that these two signatories will drift apart. If a signatory wishes to terminate this agreement, the agreement between these signatories shall end 48 hours from the moment notification is given.

Signed for Tetris,

USMC123, Game Developer

Logan, Programmer of Foreign Matters

kean, Programmer of Internal Matters

Granat, Programmer of Game Patent

Signed for Ragnarok,

Alfred von Tirpitz, Triumvir

Rishnokof, Triumvir

Tautology, Triumvir

Thank you for tuning in.

P.S. [00:25] <kean> Tetris <3's MaskofBlue, even thought she is awful at the game.

Tetris huh? That sounds like a neat idea. I think it would have been kind of neat to go with some kind of tetris themed flag like this:

though I'm sure your artists will make good use of the theme elsewhere. Congratulations and good luck!

Congrats on founding your own alliance and good luck in the future. Just make sure you don't get banned from your own channel. :wub: USMC123 :wub:

Hint: if you ever want to coup USMC123, just remove his ops/hops from whatever channel is the government channel and he'll never be able to get back in because he gets banned all the time. :P
