USMC123 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 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. Also: Pie Come visit our forums at: http://z6.invisionfree.com/Tetris/index.php? If you want to lurk in our IRC channel it is #tetris on coldfront The Official Charter of TetrisKnowing 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. Article I: Admission -Nations that apply to Tetris are required to be on the Green team. In addition, nations applying to Tetris will not be engaged in wars or conflicts regarding aid. Article II: Government of Tetris Section One: Game Developer -The Game Developer shall be the lead governing body of Tetris.

The two candidates with the most votes will move on to another round of elections lasting 5 more days. From these two, the candidate with the most votes when the polls close will become the new Game Developer. A member must have been a member of Tetris for at least 90 days to run for Game Developer.

AldusValor of Culinar Dragonforce of Dragonmania Greggory Griffith of Murphy Frank of Puggytopia Inexor of Satsu keenu of Secret Ninja Island Logan of Jews Live Here PK004 of Alpha791 Pojo D Chicken of Pojo United the granat republic of republic of granat USMC123 of USMC Nation Our goverment is as follows: USMC123, Game Developer Logan, Programmer of Foreign Matters Granat, Programmer of Game Patent kean, Programmer of Internal Matters 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 AccordsPreamble 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.

Penguin Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) 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!
