The Blue and Black "Toll the Great Bell Once! Pull the Lever forward to engage the Piston and Pump... Toll the Great Bell Twice! With push of Button fire the Engine, and spark Turbine into life... Toll the Great Bell Thrice! Sing Praise to the God of All Machines!" In ancient times, men built wonders, laid claim to the stars and sought to better themselves for the good of all. But we are much wiser now. (i) Gloria The Mechanicum toils endlessly, gears turn, steel clangs as they are sharpened into our tools of prosperity. Our pledge to the Novice, and that to the Master, is of the addition of skills, and the refining of that which is already present. Our pledge is that of the Teacher to his Student; we reciprocate loyalty by not only the building of your nation, but that of your character, of your knowledge base and your skill-set. Sentience is the ability to learn the value of knowledge. That is what we look for in those that wish to cross the Ring of Iron; to be willing to learn. (ii) Animus Life is directed motion. The Mechanicum recognizes that rust never rests. As the Second of Our Pledges, we vow to struggle against this disease of metal until the End of Times. Internally or externally, we will do as much in our power to counteract apathy and inactivity. The spirit is the spark of life. Without it, there may be no life. Without the act of transcending the status quo, any entity may not remain where it stands. It may either rise, or fall. Stagnation does not lead to decay, it is decay. (iii) Proelium Facio We, Cult Mechanicus, refuse to allow treaties to be our only avenue to war. We are not the protectors of the innocent, or the guardians of the just and righteous - we are not the heretic's salvation. If you declare upon another entity, you put yourself to the whims of the Omnissiah. The Mandate is as follows: (a) Adeptus Mechanicus (id 4576) retain the option, but not the obligation to, with or without prior consent and knowledge, share intelligence with any entity listed below. (b) We retain the option, but not the obligation to, with or without prior consent and knowledge, provide economic assistance and aid to any entity listed below. (c) We retain the option, but not the obligation to, with or without prior consent and knowledge, provide military assistance to any entity listed below. (d) Any entity may cancel if they recognize that they have forgone these intrinsic rights. We're live. Signed: Dio - Retired Tyrant From Ages Past Senry - Ahab --- Any entity that exists, or will exist, in Orbis. Our Discord Protected by The Knights Radiant.

FADE IN: INT. MASSIVE GRIFFIN TREEHOUSE IN THE SKY - ORBIS - DUSK GUARDIAN, 1300+ days old, sits at their very fancy antique oak desk with their sharp spectacles sliding down the bridge of their nose. Their cool blue eyes that have seen everything under the sun, dart between a tattered note and the young STRATAGEM, 130ish days old, stands in front of the desk in dirty untied black Converse sneakers, ripped jeans, and a black Wakanda University hoodie. STRATAGEM is woefully under-dressed for this very important meeting. GUARDIAN What the hell is this? Are you nuts? STRATAGEM No? Ambitious maybe– GUARDIAN Ambitious? No, this is naive. This is stupid. Do you remember when you came here asking what we thought of you signing TGITG? And do we even need to mention- STRATAGEM (mumbles, staring at their scuffed sneakers) Can we not? GUARDIAN And now this! This "list." There’s no rhyme, there’s no reason...You want to fight half of Orbis? For what reason? STRATAGEM Lulz? GUARDIAN continues, ignoring STRATAGEM’s shamelessly petty nature. GUARDIAN We have friends and acquaintances on this list, for Dio’s sake! STRATAGEM reaches into their back pocket and pulls out a sheet of paper that is remarkably crisp and dry for having been sat on all day. They carefully unfold and slide this mysterious paper across GUARDIAN’s desk, while slyly slipping "the list" from underneath old and weathered fingertips that have killed many men, their children, and their grandchildren. STRATAGEM An...ODoAP? GUARDIAN picks up the sheet of paper that begins to glow flashing shades of black and blue. Their eyes crinkle and lips curl into a smirk. GUARDIAN You have literally been nothing but a pain in our ass since you climbed up to our majestic treehouse in the sky. There were many a time we cursed the fateful day you asked us to protect you. We probably should’ve dropped you a long time ago. STRATAGEM begins to feel discouraged but then recognizes a twinkle in GUARDIAN’s eye. The twinkle of, dare they hope, mischief? STRATAGEM Buuuut...? GUARDIAN But you’re earnest and you aren’t the absolute worst we’ve ever seen. You have spunk and you keep us young. Mildly entertained, even. STRATAGEM (bouncing on their toes in excitement) Soooooo? GUARDIAN An ODoAP will be just fine. STRATAGEM CUT TO BLACK. Deal 1: Independence of Spirit Guardian and Stratagem promise not to infringe on each other’s vibes and mutually agree to stay in their own lanes when it comes to in-house business. Deal 2: Perma-peace Guardian and Stratagem agree to never square up against each other and mutually agree to not take any part in any hateration coming the other’s way. Deal 3: They Said What?! Guardian and Stratagem agree to spill and share tea with each other in order to guarantee their own crews’ prosperity. Deal 4: You Want In On This? Maybe... Guardian and Stratagem recognize that while they are not obligated to come to the aid of each other if it’s about to go down, they’re still friends at the end of the day. They’re encouraged to swing on haters, hand out IOUs, and/or call in favors if it’s not too much of a pain militarily, politically, or with the Benjamins. Deal 5: You’re Cancelled A 72 hour heads up must be given whenever either Guardian and Stratagem ever find themselves over it.

Good Luck! Expect lots! Gives cake

This is the Declaration of Existence of the Guild of Alchemic Fire. Here we go boys.

The real DoE was already posted. You're getting in Lordaeron territory now

Congrats on following your heart In the spirit of friendship and my want to see great things happen, NK will protect this alliance until which time my services are no longer required. May the fire burn bright many moons to come

all you have to do to cut the chain is to send the funds to a small alliance bank, have that alliance send it to another small alliance bank, and delete the first alliance, and you have now lost all traceability.

We are the Adeptus Mechanius, the Magos who fulfill the will of the God Machine. Our weapons are more than metal; the flame of our spiritual fire burns strong in our souls and adds power to our cause. We smite those that disbelieve, for they have turned from the light and fallen. I am Magos Explorator Artisan-chan Streà, and so we shall rise.

The season finale cliffhanger twist is that shifty has the bank

Will this one make it past 24hrs?

Out of curiousity am I the only one that thinks their bank is really not that impressive? I have been out of the bank game since I started grumpy, but those resource stockpiles seem a little anemic for how long its been since the last time they went to war.

>when you hit 21 cities

Good to have you with us Stratagem. Congrats on behalf of TFP, and I look forward to the day we fight together.

Congratulations. Who is the mother?

You are just the epitome of a debby downer now aren't ya

Sketchy is my heir, so... heh. Time to bring that in the inner chat~

when u want to raid alchemic fire but ur afraid of the nukes Just kidding! Good luck on your new alliance, Qwen!

This is the worst version of Edictum Est yet

That's why any other alliance out there should buy "pirate insurance" your money is safe with us. Arrgh also provide safekeeping for individual nation especially inactive one(free service, no hidden charge). contact bluebear for more detail

Normally I would try to goad you into in to shambling together another alliance to try and hit us, but you really should be focusing on your studies. Just be content giving Buorhann an heir and leave the wars to those of us actually in power.

Stratagem has notified Assassin Order of their intent to cancel their MDP, effective 48 hours from this posting. On behalf of Stratagem, we sincerely wish Penguin, Arrow, Filip, Wulfharth, and their members (minus Kastor) the very best. He couldn’t even make it through the test period, you guys… Shame on me, I know.

o7 Guardian o/ SGM I know you guys will do well together — both the listed parties were extremely pleasant to talk with in my short stay in Guardian

The Alliance Affairs subforum in a nutshell: I'm glad I don't even try to update the world news on the Wiki anymore.

Beware the false profit Kastor and his disciples for he is not a man of god but one of the devil. Sent to earth coerce a Hippo into foolish deeds. Should the Hippo continue to foster those who worship the devil, god has commanded that we shall burn them and those who harbour them from this earth. (Ty for image Thalmor)

I am waiting for Fist to come say, "I am back !@#$es: lol

I feel like the mods on this forum are like the parent who is gone for three days, comes home and yells at you for the TV being too loud, then leaves the next morning.

1000 nukes, aka 3.12 Fraggles. And it only took 27 people to do it.

Adjunct Metrosexuals-(apparently, they're good with tech support or some shit) A new blue team AA led by Dio and Senry, so you know what you’re getting. They also have Odin, which is pretty good. They’re slaves to TKR, so don’t get any ideas. There’s not much else to declare in this DoE. AA Page: https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=4576 Discord: https://tech360.att.com/att/support/index.asp Once again brought to you by the Shifty News Network.

He exists.

Can confirm he's an Uber.

Stratagem isn't Nuke Bloc. Although we adore them, I just want to clarify the misconception that we're beholden to and follow a "sphere." We are happily allied to Fark (and Fark only), Guardian, and we welcome all possible new friends who are interested in making this a thing. Thanks for the idea @Thalmor?

Thus, the anti-KT sphere disbands. #rip

I just realized that the 72 hour notice of cancellation is gonna be almost as long as the actual treaty, gg! o7

Gone too soon RIP 3/5/2018-3/9/2018

Welp, this was the treaty version of a quickie.

One could say it's dynamic

sargun died for this

Still lasted longer than most of my relationships, congrats on that one!

People tell the truth in two different situations. - When they want to save what they are losing & when they got nothing to lose.

Mr. Bean taught me one thing in life. Enjoy your own company instead of expecting someone else to make you happy

17 500 Soldiers codenamed JCN arrive in NY with SAMs to support the Soviet effort of the protection of the city. The Men and SAMs were the first batch of things comming from SoE. Artillery will be brought later with 2500 more man to control the Artillerym

A question that sometimes it drivee me hazy. Am I, or the others, crazy?

A Landing on the Planet will be made. French and Resorian ships will arrive after with teams to start mining so will SoE. But in the HQ, SoE has stayed away from eradicating the lifeform on this planet. SoE will capture the Lifeforms and keep them in Aquariums back at home to inspect them, and if they deemed useful, they will be let to be bred and repopulate. [Classified] From the SoE share about the Planet with the UNHQ, The planet contains a huge ammount with a large variety of Minerals underwater. In larger depths the number of minerals increases drastically. From titanium to lythium, many resources can be gathered. Adding on to that, there is an Element found on the Planet which can be achieved only in specific locations, as from the scans. This Element increases the durability, strength, efficiency and much more on electronics. As the planet is mostly filled with water, with thr exception of two islands and an arctic biome, SoE has invested their money on underwater seafaring units. 4 Different Pieces have been made by the engineers. First is a Seamoth. A quick, one man vehicle that is tiny, it has self defence mechanisms in the form of torpedoes. The Seamoth can go to 300 metres underwater, but that is the basic Seamoth. With Upgrades it can go to depths of 900 metres. And for last, it has a small storage. Made for small expiditons. The storage can be filled with food, water and materials. Prawn Suit An exosuit made to go into the depths. The Basic Exosuit can go to depths of 900 metres. It posseses additions to the arms which can be switched into different modes. Drill Arm, Hook Arm, Attack Arm and what not. The suit with maximal upgrades for depth can reach to 1700ms. It is equipped with a larger storage than the seamoth. The suit has also a booster that can make it go above as the weight of the suit makes it always go down deeper into the water and thaz is the only way of going back. Cyclops The Cyclops are a small sized submarine. It can storage the prawnsuit or seamoth at a time. It is equipped with torpedos and a shield that consumes energy from the Cyclops itself. In it many things can be added. From gadgets used for charging batteries to indoor grow beds. The Cyclops posseses a large storage as well. The Cyclops goes to 500 metres but goes below 1500 with upgrades and specially made Cyclopses. Atlas Submarine The Atlas Submarine functions as a field HQ. It is very large, larhe enough to dock the Cyclops and still have plenty of space to be used. It can carry both the seamoth and prawn suit. It has many stairs and ladders but a main elevator as well. The Atlas Submarine is very large and umpratical if used for exploration because of its sheer size, while in combat, the submarine protects the passangers well with it being practically impossible to be destroyed by any beigns on the planet or our own.

You got it all wrong, we're supposed to hire Arrgh to hit Pantheon. Only we're allowed to honor the dishonorable tradition of hitting our protectorates and allies, let's save Pantheon some face here.
