Yay Mets and Francesca versus The Sweet Oblivion: Declaration of War

[Dujek Onearm]

as in where a dragon lives?

I loled with this.

Francesca may be many things, but he is definitely not a shelter for wild animals.

<3 CTB

And with this.

About the topic: try being nuke capable before going rogue next time. A nuke can do wonders on the lower NS ranges, you really should try it.

Also good luck.

[Colonel Radec]

Francesca will be an excellent tech farm. It'll be a great send off for a former Vox spy. Enjoy her delicious tech.

Good luck, etc, I suppose.

[TehChron]

See, when Vox did these kind of things, it was so much more interesting. And when R_V did them, they were so much more entertaining.

And he won those, more or less.

EDIT:

*Redacted*

Francesca,

You saw my message, I've read your response.

Good luck, and happy warring.

Edited October 27, 2009 by Kzoppistan

[Francesca]

Kzoppistan,

If I'm completely honest? I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Vox (with some notable exceptions.) It was exciting, it was a challenge, and we were fighting the bad guys. If I continue to be brutally honest, the primary reason behind joining Vox was that I wholeheartedly believed in their cause. Joining Vox was not a decision I took lightly, and I spent a great time thinking about it beforehand. I didn't merely join Vox for fun, although certainly had it not been fun I would not have joined, had I wanted to do so I would simply have become an open member. Here I think your point falls- if I had not cared about MCXA I would not have remained there. Where you are completely wrong, however, is assuming that I joined Vox to 'get one over' MCXA..... that's just not how I operate. I spent a great deal of time considering my decision to become a spy and genuinely decided that it was for MCXA's greater good.

[OOC] In terms of overall gameplay strategy? I play Cyber Nations for fun, I don't spend time thinking about where I will be several months down the track. I don't take things seriously enough for that. [/OOC]

[Sup4l33t3ki11a]

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Friends, Bobians, Earth People, lend me your ears.

I come to aid Francesca, not to praise her;

The evil that men do lives after them;

The good is oft interred with their bones.

So let it be with Francesca. The noble citizens of Bob

Hath told you Francesca was evil.

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Francesca answered it.

Here under leave of TSO

(For they are honourable men (and women))(?)

Come I to speak in this thread.

She is my friend, faithful and just to me;

But TSO say she is evil!

And TSO are honourable men (and women).

Francesca has brought much aid

She has entertained us with her wit and conversation

Did this in Francesca seem evil?

When the poor and powerless have cried, Francesca hath wept;

Evil should be made of sterner stuff.

Yet TSO say she is evil.

And TSO are honourable (?)

You all did see that of the lolpink war

We presented her glories.

Which she did take in stride, was this evil?

Yet TSO says she is evil

And TSO are honourable (?)

I speak not to disprove what TSO say

But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all do love her, not without cause.

What cause withholds you then to aid her?

O judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason! Bear with me,

My heart lies with Francesca’s

And I must pause till it come back to me.

Bird of Passage:

Methinks there is much reason in his sayings.

Celt:

If thou consider rightly of the matte, Francesca has had great wrong.

Sunnyinc:

Has he, masters? I fear there will a worse will come in his place

Vladimir:

Marked ye his words? She did act virtuously in the lolpink war; therefore ‘tis certain she was not evil.

Bird of Passage:

If it be found so, some will dear abide it.

Celt:

Poor soul! His eyes are red as fire with weeping.

Sunnyinc:

There’s not a nobler man on Bob than Sup4

Vladimir:

Now mark him, he begins again to speak.

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

But yesterday the word of Francesca might

have stood against the world. Now lies she here,

And none so poor to do her reverence

O masters! If I were disposed to stir

Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,

I should do TSO wrong,

Who you know are honourable men. (?)

I will not do them wrong. I rather choose

To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you,

Than I will wrong such honourable men. (?)

But here’s a parchment with the seal of Francesca.

I found it in her closet; ‘tis her will.

Let but the commons hear this testament,

Which (pardon me) I do not mean to read,

And they would go and kiss Francesca’s wounds

And hold their outstretched hands unto her

Yea, beg a hair of her for memory,

And dying, mention it within their wills,

Bequeathing it as a rich legacy

Unto their issue.

Vladimir:

We’ll hear the will! Read it, Sup4l33t3ki11a

ALL: The will, the will! We will hear Francesca’s will!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Have patience, gentle friends; I must not

Read it

It is not meet you know how Francesca loved you.

You are not wood; you are not stones, but men;

And being men, hearing the will of Francesca,

It will inflame you, it will make you mad.

‘Tis good you know not that you are his heirs;

For if you should, O, what would come of it?

Vladimir:

Read the will! We’ll hear it Sup4!

You shall read us the will, Francesca’s will!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Will you not be patient? Will you stay awhile?

I have o’ershot myself to tell you of it.

I fear I wrong the honourable men

Whose daggers have stabbed Francesca; I do fear it.

Vladimir:

They were traitors. Honourable men!

ALL:

The will! The testament!

Celt:

They were villains, murderers! The will! Read the will!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

You will compel me then to read the will?

Then make a ring about the statue of Francesca

And let me show you her that made the will.

Shall I descend? And will you give me leave?

ALL:

Come down.

Celt:

Descend

Sunnyinc:

You shall have leave.

(Sup4l33t3ki11a comes down)

Vladimir:

A ring! Stand round.

Bird of Passage:

Stand back, give Sup4 room!

Celt:

Room for Sup4, most noble Sup4

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Nay, press not so upon me. Stand far off.

ALL:

Stand back! Room! Bear back!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.

You all do know this mantle. I remember

The first time ever Francesca put it on.

“Twas on a summer evening in her tent.

That day she overcame her fears and removed the mask.

Look, in this place ran MrGross’ foul snare.

See what a mark the envious TFS made.

Through this the well beloved Sam stabbed;

And as he plucked his cursed steel away,

Mark how the agony of Francesca followed it,

As rushing out of doors to be resolved

If Sam so unkindly knocked or no;

For Sam, as you know, was Francesca’s angel.

Judge, O you gods, how dearly Francesca loved him!

This was the unkindest act of all;

For when the noble Francesca saw him start,

Ingratitude, more strong than traitors’ arms,

Quite vanquished him. Then burst his mighty heart;

And n his mantle muffling up his face,

Even at the base of Ivan’s statue

(Which all the while ran pain) great Francesca fell.

O what a fall was there, my countrymen!

Then, and you, and all of us fell down,

Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.

O, now you weep, and I perceive you feel

The dint of pity. These are gracious drops.

Kind souls, what weep you when you but behold

Our Francesca’s vesture pained? Look you here!

Here is herself, marred as you see with traitors.

Bird of Passage:

O piteous spectacle!

Celt:

O noble Francesca

Sunnyinc:

O woeful day!

Vladimir:

O traitors, villains!

Bird of Passage:

O most bloody sight!

Celt:

We will be revenged.

ALL:

Revenge! About! Sneak! Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay!

Let not a traitor live!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Stay countrymen.

Bird of Passage:

Peace there! Hear the noble Sup4.

Celt:

We’ll hear him, we’ll follow him, we’ll die with him!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Good friends, sweet friends, let me not

Stir you up

To such a sudden flood of mutiny.

They that have done this deed are honourable.

What private griefs they have, alas, I know not,

That made them do it. They are wise and honourable,

And will no doubt with reasons answer you.

I came not, friends, to steal away your hearts.

I am no orator, as Sam is,

But (as you know me all) a plain blunt man

That love my friend; and that they know fully well

That gave me public leave to speak of him.

For I have neither writ, nor words, nor worth,

Action, not utterance, nor the power of speech

To stir men’s blood. I only speak right on.

I tell you that which you yourselves do know,

Show you sweet Francesca’s pain, poor poor dumb

mouths,

And bid them speak for me. But were I Sam,

And Sam Sup4, there were a Sup4

Would ruffle up your spirits and put a tongue

In every pain of Francesca that should move

The stones of Bob to rise and mutiny.

ALL:

We’ll mutiny.

Bird of Passage:

We’ll burn TSO

Vladimir:

Away then! Come seek out the conspirators.

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Yet hear me, countrymen. Yet hear me speak,

ALL:

Peace ho! Hear Sup4, most noble Sup4

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Why friends do you go to do you know not

What

Wherein hath Francesca thus deserved your loves?

Alas, you know not! I must tell you then.

You have forgot the will I spoke of.

ALL:

Most true! The will! Let’s stay and hear the will.

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Here is the will, and under Francesca’s seal.

To every Bobian Citizen she gives,

To every several man, the chance for freedom.

Bird of Passage:

Most noble Francesca! We’ll revenge her pain!

Sunnyinc:

O royal Francesca!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Hear me with patience.

ALL:

Peace, ho!

Sup4l33t3ki11a:

Moreover she hath left you all her walks,

Her private arbors, and new planted orchards,

On this side river Bob; she hath left them to you,

And to your heirs for ever- common pleasures.

To walk abroad in freedom of oppression.

Here was a Francesca! There is no such other.

Bird of Passage:

Never, never! Come away, away!

We’ll find her in the holy place

And with the brands fire the traitors’ hourses

To the holy place!

Celt:

Go fetch fire!

Sunnyinc:

Pluck down benches!

Vladimir:

Pluck down forms, windows, anything!

We are fickle. The majority of us are content to follow someone in the persecution of someone else. Then when tables turn, they head the other way. I need not give examples of this, I trust you know them well.

I call on you all to realise the fight Francesca fights. She fights not only for her own freedom of her burden, but for all of you. She is in no way evil. Her intent is pure. TSO destroyed MCXA. Before they left MCXA was the 3rd strongest alliance in the game. Now, they don’t rank in the Top 10.

TSO have no idea as to what the cause of their actions upon MCXA were. We had people leaving every day. Everything was stitched loosely together by a handful of loyal members. Great merit must go to Gopher, King ED, NC1701, Francesca, myself, Draggie, AndrewHG, Bryn1030, Yosodog and Bryan Viking during this period of time. I have missed some names, forgive me. But It was left to a group of approximately 10 people to rebuild a power structure in an alliance which still had a very large member count. Everything went quite inactive for some time, there were power struggles. People were impeached and others put on the railway of expulsion.

Francesca had a vision in all this turmoil. She wanted to help the MCXA. If anything is to blame for her moving to vox for help, it was TSO.

Thankfully people who had no love of the abandoneers filled the space - as was expected. Now water under the bridge.

I suppose the fact that there can be no winners from this war is the only good thing about it. Personally would have got some nukes first.

If needed, i will promise to pay for damages that Franseca causes.

(i doubt they will be much)

and if only Clown Penchuk would follow Fran, my life would be perfect. :|

Judging from the various responses in this thread, i guess its fair to say to all those hoping for a planet wide war that that this "is not the war you're looking for."

[elpadrino]

maybe there is no CB against TSO but... why don´t we just turn this into a GW to fight the boredom?

I have nothing against TSO but planet bob needs a great war!
