In case you haven't heard, The Knights Radiant has been on a quest. A quest to help bring a more interesting state of affairs to Orbis. The "politics" in Politics and War have become a stale rerun of bipolar arguments. The "war" in Politics and War has become completely absent for most. This isn't healthy for TKR, nor is it healthy for Orbis at large. As the #1 alliance in the game, we hold a certain responsibility to lead by example and work to bring about something new. As a result, we've been speaking with alliances all around this wonderful place to drum up support. Not for friends to become enemies. Not for enemies to become friends. But support for a cause bigger than individual alliances. Support for an Orbis with less paper, more political intrigue, and more small scale conflict. We have found that many alliances agree with this ideal. Some have taken it upon themselves to begin the process of evolving Orbis. We applaud the actions by R&R, Dark Brotherhood, Rise of the Undead Mob, Nuclear Knights, Seven Kingdoms, Knights Templar, and Rose in helping to facilitate this effort. We hold nothing but respect for those friends who have stood with us, fought in the trenches with us, and joined our causes. Friendships are not easily forged, nor are they easily forgotten, but in order to bring about the ideal Orbis we envision, tough decisions must be made. To that end, TKR has given notice of cancellation of our MDoAP to Guardian. This is TKR's oldest treaty, dating back more than 2 years and we sincerely thank them for standing by us. We've been through a lot together, more than could ever be stated here, but we look forward to what the future holds for us both. We find it necessary to address a growing narrative that has been floating around the OWF regarding whether or not our withdrawal and subsequent dissolution of the sphere is legitimate or whether it is simply a trap to lure unsuspecting alliances into an unfavorable situation. To that, we say this: the largest contributing factor to our decision is hope for a more interesting and politically fluid Orbis, both for our alliance and the community at large. We understand the role our alliance has played up in contributing to this situation but we also recognize that we are not alone in the actions that led us to this current political climate. Henceforth, we will not stand for any form of hegemonic gameplay nor will we stand by and allow anyone to take advantage of our commitment to change. We do not subscribe to the idea of "proving" our commitment to change by weakening ourselves with pointless wars with our former associates. Circumstances change and conflict may come naturally but we reject it being a prerequisite for anyone to consider these sequences of events legitimate. That being said, we encourage you to follow in our footsteps and join our movement. Seek out new relations, make your own sphere with like-minded alliances. If your ideas for change needs a bit of cred in order to get off the ground, shoot us a message and we'll see what we can do to help. Cultivating a more dynamic Orbis is our ultimate goal. It is our expectation that with these changes, TKR can be a part of pursuing an Orbis environment where war can more freely happen, where it isn't necessary to consolidate power, and where alliances are less constrained by the tangled web we've woven for ourselves. TKR is ready to welcome this new Orbis. We are willing to defend this ideal as far as is needed and hope to forge relationships with others who share this ideal. We know we cannot do this alone but are hopeful the collective actions taken thus far are the beginnings of better times.

Sorry for the lateness on this folks, as some of you know I was disabled from posting for a while there. Anyway, in the news recently a Democrat started up a meme regarding Trump which backfired as firstly any person on the street knows that Trump would be correct on such a statement, and second that you know... it didn't actually happen. So lets have a poll, and the progressives are free to show their virtue if they like. The Roz won't bite, I mean why the hell would I bite dudes? Weird. You save that for women with their tender soft flesh. So who would you rather receive immigrants from? Now as you know I would say there is a lot of very dickable ladies in all these places but... anyway, so it's... Europe and East Asia are on one side. Central & South America and Africa are on the other. Vote.2 points

It takes two to tango, if no one was willing to partner with SK, the move would not have led to anything. KT is helping to establish a sphere unto their selves. Where one did not exist before. That is something to promote. Edit. I would also like to add shaming IQ will not lead them to believe this move is being made in good faith. It takes time to consider moves and build trust. While I disagree with some of the skepticism that some of these moves have been viewed through, they are not entirely unreasonable. Give em some time to digest things.2 points

A toast to what we hope to be a better and more fun platform for all of us, can’t wait to see how other alliances react to this. Glances at IQ2 points

January 17, 2018 (Britannian Date) "New Year…New Weapons. That's how the saying goes is it not?" Lelouch sat on his couch surrounded with the Royal Britannian Knights and top commanders of The Royal Britannian Armed Forces. They were all relaxing in their seats as they spoke to one another as Lelouch prepared to address them all. Camelot had been hard at work producing and upgrading weapons for Britannia in before the Toronto Conference was called Into session to avoid such weapons from being used. However, as the Zodiac War dragged on and nations fell around the Empire something had to be done. "Camelot has been finalizing up some projects in the meantime with our orders. Due to the excessive amount of Sakuradite acquired I believe we are able to fully create our defence system required on our borders." Suzaku read from his notes handed to him from the other members of Camelot as the others listened planning their next course of action. "Then our plan with Arabia is done isn't it? We have what we came for correct Suzaku?" Lelouch gestured to the map of the Empire pointing in the Arabian region. "We are, we can leave almost the entire region to the natives, chances of a new threat in the region in minimal." Suzaku replied as the meeting was wrapping up. "If we are done here…perhaps we can test the new weapons on the border?" Anya chipped in via video call. "The Nova Empire has collapsed and ensuring any valuable resources go straight to us could help us in the long-run." The others nodded as Anya finished explaining the situation. Lelouch took this into consideration as now the only major threat in the world was Walpurgis and Mog[Corp]. "Alright, deploy our Challenger III Tanks and advance around the Lakes while our main force will push from the East Coast farther inland near Michigan. In the coming days we should be successful." The others nodded as Lelouch turned his attention to stare at a stain on the map in Asia. "And prepare Project Swine." Lelouch finished his briefing to the others. Once complete his plan was pushed into motion.1 point

Ya kek, it is not true. We are not going to declare on Nordic Sea Raiders. Why? Because they were allies till 5 days ago. And they were excellent ones too. Now you ask why did they leave? Classified Reasons We will maintain neutrality just like our fellow members of the Enclave Bloc. We WILL NOT go to war against NSR. Sorry Zodiac and especially @Taco. We will not be going to war with NSR. Just to tell you, we had a lengthy discussion in the bloc channel what is to be done since war was inevitable. The entire bloc unanimously decided to stay neutral in this "Show of Power" by those who decided to get rid of this alliance called NSR. Lordran, who have maintained neutrality are the actual perpetrators of this violent war. Those Guys will maintain neutrality for this entire conflict and will support neither side. We are, were and always will be against this war. Signed: TheShadow Foreign Affairs Ministry On behalf of Those Guys.1 point

Yeah, I didn't bother to look more into your journal beyond the abstract for a lot of reasons, chiefly because YOU DIDN'T !@#$ing READ WHAT YOU POSTED. Besides, I don't have a fancy-pansy subscription to actually read the entire article. I briefly skimmed your wall text, but it doesn't seem like you are refuting the claim of the abstract, which is that in New Zealand, women are less of a "financial liability" than men. Secondly, you were responding to my claim that "anyone who thinks women don't contribute to the economy is a !@#$ing idiot." What your wall text essentially says is that women do contribute to the economy (albeit, your argument is that they contribute less than men). So you've already proven my point, and I'll gladly use your wall text as Exhibit A for any other dipshit who thinks women don't contribute to the economy. Finally, to tie this all back into the op, your belief that only the rich people ("net contributors") should have the right to vote is undemocratic and bad for the economy, because it inherently puts a value on the opinions of a landed aristocracy. Considering that a third of the Fortune 500 CEOs inherited their wealth, I don't think you would want somebody deciding the destiny of your country by "virtue of living until you are old enough" to inherit wealth. A landed aristocracy only breeds complacency, nepotism, and stagnation, just ask the Chinese in the latter Tang Dynasty. And if you are thinking, "Oh, but Trump has already installed all of his relatives to positions of power despite being ridiculously unqualified and mega donors now influence corporate tax cut legislation by simply threatening to cut GOP senators off," well... You should be happy with the state of the US then. Rich people and special interests dominate sound fiscal policy, billionaires are awarded official positions in government by virtue of having a shit ton of money and not competence, and the capacity for the people to hold elected officials accountable for their actions is dead. "Democracy," the type of government you so despise for being the inefficient, hand-holding system that takes from the "deserving" and gives it to needy dependent people, is ironically the opposite of what we have now given the excessive gerrymandering, super-pac, unlimited-terms-in-congressional-office system we have now. Also, btw, again. White suburban women in key battleground states allowed for Trump to win the election. In some districts (I'm looking at you, the stinking shithole called Florida), that percentage gap was as high as 30 points. It's ironic that you would all try to take the vote away from them when they were literally the reason why Trump won.1 point
