Incitatus Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) [center][IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/334q0w5.jpg[/IMG][/center] Brothers and sisters, Remember the flag you are about to gaze your eyes upon, you're going to be seeing a lot of it. Each one of us has an opportunity to easily analyze the current situation and create an atmosphere that we can all comfortably/uncomfortably breath in. This revelation, while possible to achieve during a time of peace, is easily seen during a time of war, especially in a war that impacts the world such as this one has. It is our choices from here on out that will effect the way we control our countries, the way we participate in our alliances, and the way we interact across the world stage, as it always has been. After this conflict comes to a close, you will finally see "lines" being so boldly made unlike anything we've seen since the Great Wars-era. We will, with any luck, be seeing a change of politics to "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" and people screaming in the streets, "Lex Talionos!". Let us revel in our differences with pride and may those who do not believe in the principles you believe in, suck at the teat of death. With that said, I announce to all the residents on Bob today of the birth of an alliance. This alliance will not simply conform to be "politically correct", but will however hold true to a certain standard of morality and pray for the destruction of anyone who does not embrace it. This alliance is Anathema. [i]-Incitatus Emperor of Anathema[/i] FAKE-EDIT: I have always wanted to say "teat" in an announcement, and am so thankful that I was able to legitimately squeeze (no pun intended) it in here. [i][b]Now a message from the Praetor:[/b][/i] There are moments in time where history is written and the future course of events will change from one decision. This is one of those moments; this is the birth of Anathema. Anathema is an alliance formed by experienced members in order to be a Brotherhood of strength, integrity, knowledge and pure awesomeness. Today, we the founding members take the first step in a global march to change the world with our presence. As we go public, we begin the recruiting of intelligent, eager individuals to incorporate into our Brotherhood. We begin the distribution of aid and tech that will grant our nations strength and victory in the battlefield. We begin the process of educating our members into leaders of Planet Bob. We begin the training of a war machine that will rival all those currently around. We most importantly begin a family, a Brotherhood, full of friendship and good times. Today, Anathema begins its quest for history. Among our experienced members, and vast pool of knowledge we have brought forward ten individuals who will lead us to the glory we know we are destined for. These nine are the government of Anathema. The Emperor - Incitatus Praetors of the Sapienti – Rebirth & James Maximus Sapienti of Brotherhood –Xerxer Sapienti of Wisdom – Hadrian Sapienti of the Outside World - Flyingscotsman Sapienti of Betterment – Doeroler Sapienti of Battle - Daggarz Sapienti of the People – Kahn Thundergun Bearer - Stagger_Lee Anathema was originally a term that referred to an offering to the Gods, such as a sacrifice or tithe. This is what we stand for, we have offered ourselves, minds, keyboards, and nations under the God of Justice on Planet Bob. Our goal is to protect the weak and downtrodden, maybe not everywhere, but as much as we can. We shall begin the return of honesty, fair dealings, openness and overall generosity to the politics of Bob and return the belief that this game is not just a collection of bad eggs running over the rest of us, but that there are those who hear the Call to integrity and return to it. We wish to beckon in an age of fun, growth, prosperity and eminence to cybernations. This is the Call to Anathema.

Facade Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 It was a bright cold day in March, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Stagger Lee, his chin nuzzled into his gasmask in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped quickly through the doors of Anathema, though not quickly enough to prevent a swirl of gritty dust from entering along with him. Good evening gentlemen. Shall we begin? Quote

Vasuda Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) I'm going to pull a personal first for me and back out of this one. As I have communicated to Stag, and will to Kev when he gets on, I just cannot commit to leaving NV so soon after the war. Although I only got on board a few minutes before this DoE, I would like to apologize to my many friends in this alliance. I wish you guys all the best, and support what you are doing. I know some of you have been planning this for a long time, and I hope you really can change the world. Good luck. -Kahn Edited March 7, 2011 by Vasuda Quote

daggarz Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 Anathema. In a world of growing proportions we come to look upon two opposing sides as if they are the be all and end all. Do what one says or what the other says, be lost otherwise. While we believe this true to an extent Anathema cannot help but see that there need not be opposition on all fronts. We find friends on both sides, friends on all sides should it matter and do not particularily agree or disagree with any party. What this means now as of this date? Sure we might think MK and co are wrong with their war right now, but politically? This is MK's need, if they feel they have something to do, we support them in that. If NPO feel they are being treated unfairly and should not be attacked, do we empathise? sure. But we do not side, we say "It is not good that you are being attacked. We wish you a speedy recovery after the war and hope that things look good for you." We are Anathema and we are here to stay. -Daggarz Sapienti of Battle Quote
