Shadow Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Arrgh! welcomes Jacob Hanson and Mayor to the Admiralty. Also Hereno is currently lost to the dreaded seas of inactivity so he has been demoted. The Arrgh! Admiralty is now as follows: Grand Admiral Warpool Admiral Ogaden Admiral cctmsp13 Admiral Shadow Admiral Jacob Hanson Admiral Mayor Also see this link for Ogaden's announcement of his self-mutiny as Grand Admiral yesterday. Despite this, he does remain an Admiral. You may now return to your regularly scheduled war announcements. Continue pillaging away everyone! Arrgh! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozalia Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Considering how all the current announcements are going I thought this was a declaration when I saw the title.

Though congratulations to Jacob Hanson also naturally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hereno Posted May 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2015 completely understandable. i wish i had kept in touch with you guys rather than drifting off without saying anything; sorry for that. actually, if you want, you can kick me if you'd like to keep the arrgh! bank from being raided. i don't intend to come back and if i do change my mind, i can always re-apply. where else would i go? before i go though, a couple things: 1. sheepy, if you don't do something about the problems that killed (That terrible game that is totally irrelevant and I shouldn't be bringing it up anyways), it is going to strangle P&W but a lot faster. don't be afraid to innovate - even if it ends up !@#$ing things up, at least you tried to do something different. maybe you could look into graphics or learn how to code it as an app. 2. back in november when i was flipping out everywhere, it was because i had a bad trip at the end of October and was under some pretty crazy post-trip delusions for like 3-4 weeks afterwards. it took until january before i started feeling like myself again. in the meantime, though, i acted pretty stupid to some of you; and to those people, i apologize. if you're not sure if you're included in this, feel free to ask, but honestly i barely remember half of it. 3. i never applied socialism to orbis - that's what's !@#$ing hilarious. the socialist international was a hyper-capitalist state with a fascist method of government in which i was synonymous with the alliance and power was delegated by me to the governing body. in the beginning, we taxed people at half their income and resources and poured it all into our active members, who became our upper tier, who were continually given city loans at the expense of the rest of the alliance. even in our end days, we were only taxing our members at 5/5 and dumping that onto the lower tier. but that was only because the experiment got ruined by TEst blindsiding us, which was a direct result of me being completely out of my !@#$ing mind. in fact, you'll see that the most successful alliances have been the ones which have applied socialism to orbis. it is advantageous for alliances to dump money on their lower tier... in the long term. alliances with strict hierarchies have split and had all sorts of issues, while more egalitarian alliances are more internally stable and have grown a lot faster. why? because sheepy designed this game after capitalism - make raw resources if you're small, pump commerce and industry if you're large, and resources flow from the poor to the rich, who also make the better products. all the money is held by the largest nations and they continually get larger and larger and larger while the only hope the lower tier has of even being relevant is by "stealing" from the rich via taxation. it's not a perfect adaptation, but i have to hand it to sheepy, it's pretty brilliant and i was always happy to contribute during and after development. the way that people interact with each other in an OOC sense matters and it impacts the game itself and is a shining example of exactly what i'm talking about about hierarchy. it doesn't matter whether or not you recognize the negative effects that it has on us - they're still there and they're still making us miserable. my only hope is that arrgh! continues to be even more of itself and reverses the trend of autocratization that i saw beginning with ogaden's use of "should" and other brilliant, egalitarian language being replaced with the more standard commands given by alliance governments to their membership. he's an absolutely brilliant guy and i wish we had been able to combine efforts from the beginning, because we would have kicked the shit out of all of you and it would have been hilarious. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillou Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Whoa.... I really appreciated that post from Hereno. Thank you for the explanation and input on all that, genuinely. It was definitely an interesting read. 2 Quote [17:17:58] <&Ashland> I will give you hops if you say this phrase: [17:18:13] <&Ashland> "Man, I really wish Rose had allied BoC a couple months ago when we had the chance instead of picking Vanguard."
