Advanced Idea Mechanics brings Durmstrang Institute into the 21st Century The Durmstrang Institute is known for its elusive location and almost isolationist attitude. Sadly this has caused them to, whilst excelling in magical exploration, fall behind in the technological arms race that is sweeping the outside world. Headmaster Seb had called professors Rogue and Goomy to his office over a disciplinary dispute. After some hours of correctional procedures the trio decided they ought to get back to work and deal with the growing issue of Durmstrang technological disadvantage. Rogue suggested they seek out an independant professional to assess the changes that needed to be made. He travelled Switzerland where he found a young nerd called Thomas, who seemed to be pretty wizz with the technological side of things. After bringing him back to Durmstrang, Rogue thought it prudent to give the young man a tour of the magnificent castle. However, the pair seemed to get lost somewhere along the way.. Around Seb’s personal basement… Goomy decided to get out his state of the art typewriter and send a letter to an old friend, who used to own something called a Laptop; this seemed like something that Durmstrang could use, the overhead projectors in most classrooms no longer worked. He sent out a messenger by horseback to deliver the message. After a few days, the rider and steed somehow reappeared in Durmstrangs central courtyard, he was too inexperienced to be able to apparate. Headmaster Seb took the student in for some questioning on the matter, though oddly they ended up with Rogue and Thomas in the basement. Not an hour passed before all of sudden Goomys old friend, Bezzers, appeared suddenly in his bedchamber (I’m not quite sure what happened next, all I know is that overnight they never left the room and some very peculiar sounds could be heard by the students, one reportedly heard the phrase ‘Modernize me Daddy’). As it turns out Thomas worked in Bezzers company, somewhat of a think tank known as Advanced Idea Mechanics. At the break of dawn the pair completed a survey of the Durmstrang institute and prepared a damning report, which merely read: “You still use Windows XP are you Neanderthals?” The report was well received and our 5 protagonists spent the day together. At some point it came to light that Bezzers had shown Goomy a new vibrating wand, Seb and Rogue were eager to try so Thomas lead them to the basement for a test run of this strange device. While they were gone, the remaining duo got to business on organising an agreement, Goomy would teach Bezzers the skills of dark magic and in return AIM would supply Durmstrang with top of the range vibrating wands (and a few thousand up to date computer systems). And thus a beautiful partnership was born. Durmstrang and Advanced Idea Mechanics MDP Article I: Not-interference The Parties acknowledge each other's expertise and agree not to encroach on each others fields of study. Article II: Professionalism The Parties agree to treating each other with proper manners in the public eye and to handle disagreements in development meetings peaceful. Article III: Divination The Parties agree to share updates in both technological and magical matters that refer to each others well-being and advancement. Article IV: Wands and Lasers Should either of the parties come under unprovoked attack, the other agrees to either disintegrate or perform an unforgivable curse on the attacker; whichever they see fit. Article V: Ending Collaboration Should either party feel that this mutual endeavor for furthering knowledge has run its course, they should hand write a letter of cancellation, a 72 hour gestation period will ensue after which the agreement will become void.

How could I refuse goomy's call for modernity? It totally wasn't the daddy issues that persuaded me to show up, honest.

We really need a show where we have to avoid roasting abbas, that would at least add some challenge to the mix.

Live images of the school cleaners benefiting from this new leap forward in technology: Students can not look at poor hilda in the same way ever again.

But we made such good, quality products with the Chinese...

I don't need a special day to roast abbas, I do it every day.

I see our flags are different sizes. Are you implying something about our "wand size" :(?

Due to difference in demand for weaponry merchandise overseas, The Advanced Idea Mechanics Chinese Liason has been given its 72 hour closing down notice. After which period, the Advanced Idea Mechanics company will no longer be associated with or partnered to the entity known as Zodiac, and will after this point no longer be eligible to request support from them in the unlikely case our world takeover goes wrong. The Director and all other public figures from within the company would like to offer Zodiac the best of luck in taking over the world thriving in this hostile business environment, and have ensured both companies part ways with no hostile feelings towards the other. Meanwhile, Advanced Idea Mechanics would offer the public a statement assuring that their other ventures, the Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry, which despite recent losses promises to return to full functionality given time, and those within the Seven KingdomsTM, are operating at full capacity. As well as this, our newly announced Wand project with the Durmstrang school for the magically gifted promises to be a long and financially prosperous relationship.

Just so you know, it isnt a 'great' war if you make under 10 war declarations and peace out on all of them

I saw this title and then my assumptions were disappointed. Then I saw Bezzers, and there don't seem to be cookies. More disappointment. Still, I like all parties involved...so more power to you all. Still...I have unrequited expectations...

May this union be fruitful ........and blah........ blah.......blah........I mean yeah us.......and shit!

Is this an elaborate advertisement for Pirate Insurance?

In His name, we purge the skies. Uncle's warmest embrace! He has sent me with news of much import. It is the eve of a time of great calamity, and his children stand ready to resist an onslaught from the stars.... a test of will, for the trials to come. Each stands ready. Misery stands ready. Meth stands ready. And against the encroaching forces of evil, the light of Gud stands ready. A close eye to this space will reveal the secrets of the Space above. Wait, wut?

October 27, 2017 (Britannian Date) :Classified: :Information quietly shared with Laurentia's highest government/military: Project IceFish research and development have finally become successful. After months of intensive studying the final phase before deployment is underway. Tests will be undertaken near Japan, Britannian West-Coast and Greenland. Project IceFish is expected to be ready to be deployed in November on the Britannian Calendar or coming weeks to months in other calendars. Testing will prove and outline any suitability errors in the Project, therefore making it a formidable foe for even the strongest of rivals. :End Allied shared Classified information: :Begin Second-Phase Highly Classified Information: Project Hadron has been re-visited upon recent failures for the Defence of the Avalon. Camelot has begun re-examining the weapon placed on numerous FlagShips and the Homeland's armory. Deployment of any and all Project Hadron will be halted until the issue can be resolved and re-implemented into the Britannian Armed Forces. Testing will commence once Michigan Barrage has ended, and will be used to punch a hole into the Zodiac International Military. Camelot will also prepare the final touches on deploying more and more Naval Crafts on the Southern West Coast to draw attention away from any Project IceFish testing. Both underwater and regular Naval Vehicles will be deployed. Once deployed begin the rotation between the West coast of Britannia and Japanese ships. Maintain distance from any Mog[Corp] naval craft and remain in International Water.

Hello all! The other day I was thinking: “You know what this game sorely needs? Another format to make fun of each other”. And boom! The idea for the First Orbis RoastTM was born! For those of you unfamiliar with the concept there will be a “Guest of Honor” chosen for the night who will be roasted by select members of the Orbis community. At the end of the event The GoH will have their chance to fire back. Both the roasters and the GoH should be preparing what they will say ahead of time. The first GoH will be the notorious Abbas Mehdi. For roasters we have Roquentin, Thalmor, Manthrax, and more! Contact me if you are interested in being a roaster as we are still looking for more. The event will be held on October 29th at 9 PM EST in the Church of Spaceology discord found here: https://discord.gg/4TUAreP we will be using the voice channel named “Sacrificial Altar”. I hope to see you all there! Edit: The current lineup for roasters includes Manthrax, Thalmor, Durmij, and Keegoz with possible appearances by James II and Roquentin, with me as your host.

Already Been Done. Do Something Else

A mobile directed energy weapons platform was a viable option to remove opposing aircraft from the sky or melt through enemy tanks, and testing began in earnest in the deserts of Morocco. Using a modified APC design that was determined to be too large for needs, the size allowed the frame to be a perfect basis to mount the additional batteries and turret that was required for such a design. In addition, a new scout vehicle, nicknamed the Stryder due to its similarities to a M1126 Stryker was the likely option for the job, and would also begin testing in the desert and in the jungles of South America. Naval production continued at a brisk pace as always, with several nations attempting to match corporate dominance over the oceans the costs of production would always be cheaper than allowing an individual or several nationstate entities to reach parity and threaten the global stability the company had begun to enforce.

Fine. Let me try again. "Abbas understands how likely 90% is."

"Most of his name is symmetrical, that's kinda neat."

Only the bravest use orbital sanders with direct contact.

Laurentian Troops, roughy 10,000 entered the new territories of Laurentia; More to come soon

I'm curious on the lineup roasting him though. I haven't heard or seen much humor from some of them.

I have seen the 'Wand size' of various members of your government (Bezzers and Kirito) can confirm that the flag doesn't represent size

Congrats guys!

You could've moved the labels to the actual lines, and gotten rid of the legend at the top. You put in more work than you needed to and made it worse.

+1 for &#33;@#&#036;ing about the size of the gift shop

Had me until you listed the Discord server/alliance. Dropped. If you want good roasting, go on the KT radio after a show and listen to Lordship, Sketchy, and whoever else is left shit on everything. This is fake and sodomite as &#33;@#&#036;.

I don't shit where I eat, but I eat where I shit. #justdungbeetlethings

doesn’t Arrgh mass raid you monthly edit: also this is relevant

Hazmat guy using a metal detector after hit by grapeshot.

I'm sick of this. How they are treating people. Thinking they can just declare on who they want. It's time for someone to take a stand. #Arrghlivesmatter

What if I bent over for arrgh voluntarily?

We're classy gents, we take our rum neat

Arrgh recognizes the "Recognition of Arrgh's 23rd Great Cycle of Raids against Valkyrie". Actually... it could also be 13th or 45th cycle of raids... The rest of the admiralty was too drunk to give me a proper briefing.

I pledge my assistance in battling the arrgh menace.

Did you guys have to vote on rather or not you would recognize hostilities?

.:Classified:. The SIM-6 missiles would be armed and ready to target the Reubanian Satelite that seemingly stole Resorian technology. We would strike the rocket before the defenses became operational.

If you think that's modern art, then you don't know what modern art is. Way to go with the personal attacks as well. If you get the point, you could have just said so. If you don't, then you're the one who must be retarded, but you're too ashamed to admit it, so like the others, you project to avoid embarrassment.

We here at Valkyrie feel that it's finally time to stop bending over to Arrgh! - This feeling, of course, has come up after Arrgh!'s recent never-ending string of attacks against us. So yes, we recognize this as a declaration of hostilities and ask that anyone else who's ever bent over backward to Arrgh! to join us in this fight. /-)ndrew
