We noticed that IQ players tend to put likes to any EMC notice of cancellation, alliance leaders are cutting all treaties in order to accumulate reputation Trust me, this is the real reason Also good luck R&R

Beneath the delicate hum of her growing hive, the Bee-Queen regarded the scene. Amusement flitted across her features as she looked upon the battlefield. "Sting, and die. It is our way. Roz has laid down the lives of his forces. Would you call that vain?" She looked back upon her prisoner. Smith squirmed against his bounds, but the wicker man held fast. Yes, the bees: they were in his eyes. "Or your supple boy-king. Did his drones die for naught?" Zeebrus laughed. A soft, threatening hum. "Egg, Larva, Drone, Hive. We move forward, pulled by our own destiny, until our work is done. No one of us is anything beside it. But together, we bring it about. Do you understand?" Smith made a mumbled reply. He was probably allergic or something, or maybe freaking out because a bee got into his mouth and he was going to lose his vegan card and then have to maybe actually be popular at parties. "No one can be sure. And yet I believe I will survive to see it. To see my masterstroke done, and see the lives of these drones earn their place in history. To become immortal, in art and history." "Do you see it yet, you tiny man? The spark is lit, and the perfect world is coming. Today, these deaths become the life of softcore Lordship erotica. But in the end, the forums will be awash in all manner of fanfiction... all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. My work will be complete." And at last, Smith was silent.

Please remove NAPs from the global treaty web. It's cluttered as is, and the NAPs only make it more cluttered. Plus alliances like UPN spam NAPs and they aren't actual treaties so it doesn't accurately represent inter-alliance politics.

Done. By default, the treaty web no longer shows PIATs/NAPs, but there's a link underneath it that will show you the full treaty web if you want.

When you see it you'll shit bricks Now we know who's behind all this

Meanwhile in IQ headquarters.......

While Lordship had a distaste for the ugly men in his army, and all women, the elite forces he called in served their purpose. The Roz Wei forces, tired from a long campaign, outnumbered, outgunned, were attacked at Missourah and met great losses. Lordship himself sat with his army (at the back) and was pleased at the results they wrought, most pleased was he at LordRahl2 who with great rage struck at the Roz Wei troops, "this is for Hillary" he muttered often to the puzzlement of his soldiers. Lordship became sad when this was reported to him for Hillary was the name for a woman, but once informed by Hope that it was also a man's name he became somewhat cheerful. Kosmokenny who taunted the enemy, Lordship watched with great annoyance, only cracking a smile when Kosmokenny tripped, but no broke neck came of this and so the smile faded. Placentica no one could locate, perhaps he had died, perhaps he hadn't, no one was quite sure or looked enough into it to find out. Queen_M meanwhile had been barred from commanding her people in battle as Lordship, to her puzzlement was most angry at the action involving the cocks. Imploring her to show good will he demanded that she write, "I love cocks" 10,000 times. To everyone else such a thing was ridiculous, but Lordship saw nothing strange or controversial about loving cocks. Finally after a few days of fighting Brooklyn666's unit smashed into the Roz Wei defenses, who no longer able to stand began to flee in defeat. In celebration of this victory over the Roz Wei forces which had the Son of Heaven himself at it's head, Lordship had a great feast where he spoke. "Hahahaha! How I wish I could chase down and wipe this annoyance out... however I have more important things to do, far more important activities waiting for me at my Radiant Castle. Let him tremble in his lands, always waiting for that moment that I, Lordship, decide to pounce on his derriere with great vigour and speed. They say that we met many defeats but did we really? Greene was wealthy and had large armies, but money, as he found out when he died, does not buy class, it does not buy ability, it does not buy sense. We lost Victor Truchev but as Yui put it to me, of what worth were they to me? The Thot people are still around, even better so are the Cocks, so nothing was achieved there. So what of anything of worth did we really lose? He only did me a favour I would say by ridding me of the chaff I had around. We sit here in Missourah, this important fortress reclaimed. Showing that the Radiant Army will not be messed with any further. This message goes to that upstart Rozalia, but it also goes to any others out there who are thinking of rising against me. I Lordship command all under Heaven and any who go against me will meet defeat". *In Grillago* The Son of Heaven relaxed watching a play of his once mortal enemy Grillick. It was at the part where the actor playing the main role asked for the honeyed water, the money shot of the production so to speak. The servant responded that they had only bloody water, no honeyed, and out it came. The actor spat a torrent of blood and began to ham it up, falling all over the place in all manners of ways. Finally after twitching face down on the ground for a short while with his groin, he expired, to the great cheers of those in attendance. The tale of Grillick was very popular in Roz Wei, to the young and old both. The Roz sighed with it's end and spoke to no-one in particular. "Like how men must rest, armies too must rest. If the Heavens did not grant me ultimate victory over Lordship on this season then it will be because that is not in the celestial plan that we all follow. Not yet. Lordship can keep buggering in safety. For now..."

I just want to tale this opportunity to welcome rose into the nuke bloc. Congrats guys

Stamina.

R&R has given notice our intent to cancel our treaty with TKR. The 72 hour cancellation period has since passed. We wish TKR the best of luck. "Baby, it's not me, it's you." DemonSpawn President of R&R

This past month or so has been an interesting time leading Rose, despite basically nothing happening in the wider game. My predecessors left some very big shoes to fill and I've been doing all that I can to make sure I don't disappoint them or the membership of Rose. I've kept a mostly low profile and refrained from making any big moves while I adjusted to my role in leadership. Now that I've gotten my toes wet in the shallow water, I think it is time to wade further into the depths. We've had a fun year alongside our allies and friends in EMC. The relationships made amongst us I'm confident will last for a long time, even if we are now moving on our own separate paths in the hopes of reigniting the spark of fun and conflict that has been slowly been dying in the game for some time. While this was far from an easy decision, as ultimately this is a game of people, and the friends we make here are a large part of what breaks the monotony of an average game (Sorry Alex), it is ultimately a game, and we should all do what we can to make it more fun for ourselves, our members, and other players. Pantheon, you guys have always been a strong and dependable partner. You guys came to bat for us when we most needed it in Git Gud Friday (Yes that is the real name of the war) and we had a blast, we worked well together and I hope someday in the future we’ll get to fight together again. Guardian, while we never got to fight together as treaty partners, our relations began well before we ever signed paper. While some were apprehensive of us when we first signed Mensa, you guys were willing to give us a chance from the beginning, and we are grateful for that. TKR, it has been a pleasure working with you guys. Not all alliances in this game are true to their word, but you’ve always been genuine in your desire to protect your allies and your friends while also striving to improve the game around you and change things for the better. We hope you guys achieve your goals, and when you do that others take note and follow in your footsteps. TCW, you guys are often overlooked, but how many alliances can say they have grown as quickly as you, and defied public perception against you, you proved to your detractors that you aren’t just a second iteration of GPA. Keep defying expectations and don’t forget you guys have the potential to be a large political force in this game. Also we are still waiting on Green Enforcement Agency. Mensa, gone but not forgotten, you guys literally saved Rose from probable disbandment. That is not the sort of debt that can be repaid, but just know you have a friend for life. As is probably obvious by this point, Rose has given notice to both Pantheon and Guardian. We had a good year together with the members of EMC and we hope to have another good year on whatever path we take next. The 72 hours start now. ~ Redarmy

They look like a dick to me

Huh? But NAPs are the only treaties enforced by the game mechanics; they can't be removed from the web graphic without removing relevant information. I agree that there's a dumb amount of paper and it makes the web ugly though. Maybe there should be a filter option or something so you can see it without NAPs, that'd be best imo

There's nothing wrong with loving cocks

Inb4 IQ thinks this is some kind of hegemonic conspiracy to take them down.

Going to start compiling them from now on. Too many discords logs to sort through to find them all. added another one

What about the alliances within the red?

It is all about perspective. If you think about it in terms of keeping the hegemoney together, then yes, it was a horrible diplomatic move. But clearly that wasn't our intent. We had pushed for a sphere split unsuccessfully, and it was in that spirit that we went paperless. If you view it from that perspective, it was actually a very successful move, in that within 3 months it has resulted in a sphere split as we desired, something that seemed unlikely if we had remained within Syndisphere. As for it resulting in the former Syndisphere's rivals taking control, certainly they are now by far the most powerful sphere, but I think we are about to enter a period of much higher FA activity which will give some new energy to the game. I don't think any sphere has taken control even if one is the clear strongest. When t$ left Paragon we weren't in a particularly strong position either, and we assumed we'd get rolled for it. You never know how things will end up. Hopefully it is fun Also, how could anyone say Treasure Island was the worst diplomatic move? And that was 2016 The glory that was Dongminion went into 2017 though.

Welcome to the forums, seemingly-well-meaning internal government official from Black Knights! Run.

Best wishes on the rebuild, Roz. Thanks for taking the journey with me o7 p.s. Does my name still appear as Queen_M? I thought I got rid of that underscore ages ago...

No parting song, SK? Better still, a RW-SK joint singalong...

I heard this got picked up for an 8 episode season by HBO. I'd watch for the 10,000 cocks alone. But in all seriousness you guys were good sports. Glad to have peace in our time once again

>Burns paper from major allies >Starts Silent 2.0

#!@#$rose

You guys are trying wayyyy to hard. Edit: You have a habit of blaming anyone but yourself for your mistakes. Maybe it was an accident on your end. Maybe you were unaware that NK was allied to Nuke Bloc, and that Nuke Bloc holds a supremacy clause. You should have guessed Apeman would not be happy with you constantly railing on Fark. That being said, I never asked Apeman to get rid of you, I don't even think I mentioned you to him aside from the congratulatory 'lulz' after he dropped you. Your statement is entirely false. As for the Fraggle ordeal, that is on Fraggle. If ya'll want to latch onto each other about some grand conspiracy about James being a Nazi and getting rid of Fraggle and Kastor because ya'll don't agree with me be my guest. I'm enjoying the laugh.

Hi all! I'm not new to the world of Orbis. I've been playing for what seems like ages. However, according to my profile it's only been 406 days (4,881 turns or so if my math serves me correct). In P&W terms, that's two major wars **TANGENT ALERT!** and the first one, Paper's Please, was sort of pathetic to call a "major war". Do you all remember that one? Boy, people got in a tizzie over that! So many pixels burned – which was surprising given there was no paper to get it started… or something. It was good for me to get the infra pounded out of me to learn what I was doing wrong. So many things! I was proud to have lost my nukinity early in my Orbis life. Thank you to bluntville and Big Whiskey, I hold you in my hearts forever. **TANGENT OVER** You can thank Sheepy for me being here. He or one of his friends posted stickers with "Politics & War" in nearly every damn bathroom around our campus. I finally had enough of seeing them (yes - I drink too much... water, I really do mean water! ...so I'm always staring at what used to be an empty wall in front of me that now has a “Politics & War” sticker on it). I decided to check it out, mostly because of sheer boredom, I did so on October 31 of 2016. **TANGENT ALERT!** I remember that day well for an odd reason, I spent the evening telling witches, ghosts, mummies, and even a dinosaur that I had no candy and to stop knocking on my door. I finally was lucky, an officer came to my door, a little young, but an officer none-the-less. "FINALLY!" I said... and the kid with a badge looked up at me, held out a bag, and said "candy?". I think my first reaction was to say "I thought you were a f%&$ing cop here to help me with these hooligans!? Get away from my house!" ...and I chased that seven-year old police officer down my driveway with a beer in one hand and my tv remote in the other. Apparently the "officer" wasn't really an officer, his parents yelled at me and then quickly whooshed their child away from my house. Apparently, my robe opened a bit - ok, I opened it myself all the way and did helicopters all while screaming "I AM A POLICE HELICOPTER! STEP AWAY FROM THAT MAN'S HOUSE!!!" and did so while pretending my TV remote was the loudspeaker. Damn, I spilled some beer, it was a sad evening... anyway, I had to later tell the real police officer it was merely an accident and an exaggeration on their part. Anyway, back to my computer I went... **TANGENT OVER** I was immediately sucked in to P&W like I was on the millennium falcon and we were in the grip of the death star tractor beam. I shall have my revenge like RedFive in that one movie with the big spherical space station that goes “pew, pew” at planets and causes death to them… I think the space station was called the Death Station or something stupid. Whatever. I just remember it reminded me of Lordship’s pre-pubescent face that he shared in the real life picture thread on our alliance forums.. err… oops... I mean that one moon around Saturn with a huge crater on it. Oh hell… I liked the game and have stuck with it mostly because the trolls are ugly and easy and the women are dumb and funny… err… vice versa. But anyway, that whole tractor beam thing made me think of RedFive as my nation name. It stuck, so here I be. Since joining the world of Orbis, my nation has grown a bit, beiged a few nations, been fortunate to never be beiged myself, made a friend or two and found lots of enemies who clearly think Orbism is the worst religion ever and have attacked me for it. But mostly I make and sell goods, buy goods I don't make, and play baseball with a ragtag underpaid group of hotheads in an overly nice stadium all while waiting for some eventual war *sighs*. Why? Well, there isn't anything else to do because everyone is worried about upsetting the balance of the cubes, err... Rhombic triacontahedrons, err... spheres, err... whatever they are called. *cough* You Pixel huggers!! *cough* -- ahem. Excuse me. Anyway, I am finally less stressed about school. Work is finally at a point where I don't feel super stressed about things, my kids still mostly shut their faces and keep the legos out of the hallways, my wife doesn’t have a crazy long list of things on that “honey-do” list, there be cold beer in the fridge, and I got nothing to do outside due to snow, ice, and cold temps. For these reasons, I have decided to finally cave in, I have decided to start posting on the P&W forums. Yes, I too am a degenerate. I look forward to whatever it is we do here. Let the making fun of people I like begin! Mostly Sheepy, Lordship, Smith, Cakey, Sargun, Queen.m, and the hundreds of other degenerates I have yet to really come to know!! RedFive TL;DR: I was bored at work. I wrote some stupid shit. Hi.

Says the guy who got canceled on for being annoying.

If not already destroyed by the Tsunami that stretched deep across Australia over the outback before finally slowing down, then the remaining naval force of the regime would be sunken with the exception of the 10 carriers who were rounding the tale of South America. The regime however did manage to get a few IFO airborn before the waves extending miles high crashed down. roughly 54% of the IFO were caught in the waves, the rest were moved to Sydney where T-spheres from perth, and Melbourne would convene. the entire south of Australia would be the working zone of the Regime with 1050 AMAZO droids, 400 T-sphere and 6400 IFO. Diana and the rest of the Regime government would be in bunker when Barry Allen sped in with lightning in his eyes.* "I told you to make a preemptive strike, not destroy the entire planet!" *she would look at him furious that he would undermine her in front of everyone* "I did what was best for our nation and our allies! that warmonger has blockaded all of our allies, cut off their supplies, thought we would be too foolish to strike back, that we might wait unti he has shredded our allies!" *barry listened to her points but even then it was wrong* "So instead you just kill the entire planet? have you seen how far the water has come? all those families dead!" *lightning sparked from his hands and feet as he moved just before her sword stretched out to where he formerly stood. he saw there was no going back for her and in a nanosecond landed over a hundred punches before stopping and allowing her to fall unconscious to the floor. There was a small gasp in the room but many were glad it was finally done. He would grab her limp body and run quickly in a circle opening the Speedforce and tossing her into the prison. there was a small silence as they both vanished but once he returned he barked orders left and right to ready the counter measures. he would take this war and finish it.* "Atom, Shazam, Vibe, take a team of androids and gather the citizens you can find. each of you take a sector of the nation and scavenge what you can find. Lantern I want you to open Oa up for our people, they will have to go there until we can figure out the next more. Fate, Get the team from the lunar base and go to the RSS, I want full defense systems running. SASHA find the proper trajectory and drop whats left in the Zeus rods, we can't let them go to waste. Bruce, Clark, I want you two studying tactic and send 500 IFO to help defend the RSS." *he stopped for a moment and those whom he had given orders left on their way. Hal walked up to him* "and what of the DEO? where do you want them?" "I want you guys to all help the populous adjust. I hope it's a lot" *Roy would plant a small kiss before he and his team departed as well. OVERVEIW OF WHAT JUST HAPPENED The regime would send 500 IFO to the RSS. the remaining Zeus rods would pinpoint right overtop of specific locations lanting half anf half over south africa and Gibraltar. T-spheres would line up to counter enemy attacks against the RSS and homeland. the entire Regime navy would be demolished except for 10 carrier groups in south South America. 500 AMAZO droids would begin moving civilians and survivors to Oa. and Barry Allen now stands as sole leader of the Regime.

This went over faster than I thought. Thanks Alex!! Looks 10x better.

Please don't include us in any sphere. We are strong independent Roses.

Congrats on the treaty trimming Rose! Cheers!

It's been fun - see you all around! Finally my dreams of making Rose the new Neutral Menace can come true.

Me reacting to EMC collapse: Me when I realized that IQ is now hege,,,,, Welp it has been fun. GL everyone. HF in the upcoming global <3

About Me: Hello my name is Thorin. I have a few disorders but if you overlook that, my face, and my general personality, you might come to like me. I am an expert in everything, I don't really like logging in but I stick around because there's actually some cool people and over serious people who actually think this game is life. I don't take nothing serious and don't take me serious and we will get along. Anything that's been said about me is half-true half-false. Former ESD, Oblivion, KT, TCW, TFP. Lead most of them in a time of need, founded KT. Hall of Fame in all of them, considered the greatest fighter to ever go through TFP. Some even argue through all of them, but I am humble. Good News and Bad News: The good news is I have been unbanned from politics and war. The bad news is I am unsure if I am to return. I wanted peoples input. Pros and Cons. I figured if I were I would low-key it and not pay attention to my nation, formerly of glory and riches, drinking to forget all I have lost. But also what I gained which I now lost. It is a 50-50 shot. And do I forgive Thalmor the Snitch? Do I believe Zeebrus is a girl? Is TCW going to stop rigging their elections? Can Piggy finally accept his dad? I don't know, things could be the same. Which is cool. Closing: In Closing, I am looking for an alliance. My two preferences are ones that will auto-gov or auto-loved. Those who were not good enough to make my list: TFP, KT, TCW, ESD, NPO (COMMIES!). Otherwise you are fair game. I can bring a good time, a few cases, and just overall make the AA so much better. What can you do to help? 1. Decide Thorin's nation and leader name. Does he keep it? Does he need a new cooler one? 2. Decide if Thorin should return 3. Decide what Alliance Thorin should join if he returns Thank You! I am glad to be partly back! I missed some of you! im a bad person dont believe him hes lyin hes lyin!!!! he will never be cool hes a loser!!!!!!!! hes a psycho boi.

I cannot confirm or deny these allegations. Abort, operations compromised. Execute contingency orders...

There were almost two dozen workers who witnessed the incident. Some did try to stop him from running but they immediately stopped as he crossed the border. No sane person would continue after having seen the numbers of bloody trails that start right on the border… Instead, all they could do now is just pray and watch as he dashed into the forest like a mad man. The commander is charge would have been screaming at the men to get back to work, but he was also unquestionably curious about what would happen to the guy. Unlike other cases, where people presumably die as soon as they cross the border, he was definitely alive hundreds of feet into the other side. All they could now was just wait as he disappeared. Just moments later, the silence was broken by the screeching of perhaps hundreds, even thousands of bats. Those who weren’t wearing any kind of audial protective gear immediately found themselves laying on the ground, covering their ears from the high-pitched loud noise. After what seemed like an eternity, the screeching finally stopped and a massive “THUD” shook the ground. Bewildered, the workers took a few steps back, confused about the sounds. Before anyone could say a word, what appeared to be a projectile suddenly came flying towards them. Luckily, it didn’t seem to hit anyone, only crashing into a pile of logs. As the dust settled, some workers approached to see what the object was, only to be horrified by the sight. What they saw was their colleague, or at least, what remained of him… The body was totally mangled from the collision, his legs were bent the other way around, and his body was bent at a horrifying angle. What got most people frightened was the bite mark that was on his neck. Before anyone got closer the body, the commander yelled, “What are you doing idiots?! Don’t touch that thing! Who knows what crap it could contain… A virus outbreak is the last thing we need…” Soon a sound of an armored truck was heard as it drove towards the construction site. Men wearing protective gear ran out with medical equipment, but most of the workers knew he was dead already. After an hour of examining the body, a they stuffed it into a black bag before loading it into the truck. “Where are you bringing it?’’ “The incinerator, then the Arctic Sea…” And with that, the truck sped off into the Arctic tundra, while the workers continued to build the wall.

I completely forgot about that! Hahaha, that was some hilarious stuff. I remember going, "What is going on here? I thought he was gone?" And people filling me in on the history of Cynic/t$ once it came out it was a joke.

The return of Cynic has come true, the prophets were correct, and now it's time to pray that we all don't die due to his wrath Or something Idk Was gonna add gif but apparently 11pm is peak time and data has been throttled sorry bby (Hi Cynic, from Talibae)

idk where but probably abbas

Bye Guard and Panth, been a pleasure working with you folks.

Rose still exists and sucks significantly less. The rest is irrelevant.

Maybe an alliance of knights that are good at sending people to sleep called the Night Night Knights

That moment you realize Buorhann tried to compare communism to someone verbatim saying we should kill all Jews and blacks.

No.
