  1. You might say the war became TUE much to handle.

  2. Hello, I just wanted to announce that just like everything I have created in life, ORB Website will be closing down in August. I am a failure and I have failed the ORB Site just like everything I've ever created. Now that the haters are writing their posts about how they saw it coming, I'll give y'all the true true. My RL is pretty darn crazy, my career has taken giant leaps which has pushed me into a position to be pretty gosh darn busy during work (where I'd usually spend a lot of time writing articles) and outside of work where I end up working from home/traveling (where I used to finish/write more articles). I am extremely happy with my career and where it is taking me, so I should probably focus more on that real-life career. Apart from that, its fricking summer and I have a dog. There is the sun to enjoy, lakes to swim in, places to visit & my dog isn't going to be here forever, so I want to work to give him the best gosh darn life any dog could ever have (he goes hiking with me and travels with me when I can have him). The website also is paid for out of my own pocket, I've messed with advertisements here and there trying to take a little bit of that out of pocket cost, but to be honest I've made $5.43 and I won't ever actually see that cash - you have to make a certain amount before you get a deposit and its not really worth the pain....and I really don't want people suffering from ads and popups....and its just hard to have a staff that is willing to write frequent articles and keep up with politics. So the site goes away - the server will still be there - server is easily manageable and I (and others) want to do some shows on there, plus I enjoy y'all on there sharing your life with each other there. PLUS Orbis Tribune posts up news there and that's just fricking rad. I appreciate y'all who helped the site out, participated as staff, and all of y'all who paid PW Cash for subscriptions when we first started. That cash went towards contests, payments, and stuff related to ORB more than it went towards my personal nation - so thank y'all for being cool with that. If y'all aren't in the ORB Server - come and join, hang out, earn some ORBs in the economy or just enjoy the random games we have pop up. There will be no next time for this, so seriously, thank y'all who actually supported the site. Love you forever...or until you cheat on me. Also, the Soup is Hot & So is Charlie and Kev.

  3. Max, You are not a failure. You created something new around here. I'm glad you're doing well and the career is picking up. Hit us up with doggo pics. You are one of the best around here.

  4. An Official TUE Announcement Regarding the ongoing and rather bloody war, TUE will be exiting effective immediately. While we of course wish to have been able to do more, we will only offer support to our allies in the form of encouragement from this point on. We wish all parties luck in this endeavor and particularly hope for the best for our allies. To our allies we salute you, and to our enemies we thank you for the good fight. As per the agreement TUE accepts the following terms: 1) TUE will not further aid our side in any way, shape, or form. This includes economic aid, espionage, and any other forms of actively aiding. 2) TUE will not re-enter the war and will send peace to all of our ongoing wars. Signed: Prime Minister Miss Cake Prime Minister Purplemoon Lord Regent Barry Allen (Sven)

  6. From the Desk of the Best Fraggle, Fraggisan Fraggle. Greetings Friends!! A hearty hello and hug is deserved to the great nations of Orbis. And a fistful of pennies to the face of the others. Fraggle Rock is going strong, per usual. Food is on the rebound. Nukes and missiles are being built. Life is good down here. Now onto the super urgent alliance news. With the authority given to me, by myself, I Fraggisan Fraggle am now the newly appointed Minister of Honest To God Information (MHGI) for Terminal Jest. In this new role, I will oversee all information put out by this alliance and make sure it is reasonable true, to the best of our efforts. My first action in this capacity, is to appoint of my lover, Partiggle, becoming the Minister of Less Honest To God Information (LHGI). This role is mainly ceremonial. An ego stroke. I need to do it because Partiggle has tapes. We agreed not to record everything, but here we are, me giving out no show jobs to my lover. As you can see, this is a top notch operation. Run by quality people. As such, we are offering an exciting new concept: Treaty Membership. If not formal, basically very informal. But for the low price of 9 million dollars down, you can become an associate member*. Onto greater news. It has come to my attention that we are missing a badger. No idea what this means, but if you have a loose badger, and don't know what to do, send it back. I wish you all well. Have a great day. Many Hugs, Fraggisan Fraggle *9 million dollars is for the 7 day trial period. Afterwards, you will be charged 49 million dollars a week, unless you cancel. Any cancellation request will require a 60 day cancellation period in where you become the property of Terminal Jest. Not all cancellation requests will be approved. If rejected, you will revert into associate membership with a 79 million dollars surcharge. Addition restrictions apply.

  9. The same people who promote needed change usually are those who continually aid in the creation of the issue which prompts the change. NatRP has always been an endless cycle of repugnant motivation towards no common goal other than to justify the position and stature of those that confide in Alex and moderation looking over these subforums in an effort to continue that stature within their own favor - this renders any changes or proposed changes utterly useless. The idea here is there needs to be a set of rules which limits everyone to the same stature but also grants each player the ability to grow and develop at a pace that keeps them within the bounds and restriction of being some huge superpower with no reason to be there. More times than not, these forums have been ridiculed with endless rules and directives and complaints and more - simply to benefit the development of certain player locales. I'm not interested in any of that. Stop thinking so hard for a solution when it's honestly been here the whole time - make it simple, back when you were kids and you'd roleplay with your friends. Everyone was on the same level, everyone had their own backstory and RP of their character, everyone enjoyed who they were, how they were, and the whole time there was a good time to be had. There were simple rules, nobody was invincible, everyone participated, and everyone had fun. That guy who came out with his elite super shield and nobody could hurt his soldiers or 'fort' was usually shunned from the group - there should be no power bursts here, just like when we were kids. Simplicity wins. Stories Win. The other side of this is, bringing back the simplicity of roleplay might draw in some more people, it should remain simple. Variations of RP aren't needed - you just need to filter out people, sign up - present your character/nation, present the backstory and introduce yourself. -create a forum for signups/introductions. -create a board/council/moderation advised reviewing submissions for RP -allow the community to upvote to provide community-like representation -open a new forum for actual RP events. Now, everyone has their backstory and everything listed within their own topic that can be accessed at any time - not just locked in some 25-mile long thread. -make the 'world' fun to be in and thrive in, work together and fight together........focus on the main event, ROLEPLAY, be your character. -don't shun those that don't know what they are doing, encourage them, work with them and build with them. This is what makes RP work, fostering an environment that allows creative juices to flow without the restriction of rules than benefit those that cry to administration. That is how it's done, that's how it should be done.

  11. Be well max! Your site was cool! This isn't a failure at all. You now have demonstrated you can build something like that, which is an awesome thing that will be with you in whatever else you do. Sitting around and thinking about things you could do and never doing them is so much more of a failure than having projects you make, and then move forward from. I had a lot of fun in your channel, and I hate everything, so if you don't knock off that kinda talk I'm gonna kick you in the teeth. All the best.

  12. I think there is just some solid grouping in this game, you got the ring of drama queens who get super personal on game related shit, people that really shouldn't be playing this game and maybe seeking therapy IRL, I know thats a touch OOC, but for reals. If you take a game seriously enough to go personal and OOC, you gots to get some wires fixed. Then you got the 'I take this game SUPER CEREAL' crowd, who really don't ever go out into OOC land, but are hardcore IC shit heads - and can honestly run circles around you in IC chats. Then you just got normal players and people who come here for fun and laugh/hang out with friends they made. I think we all know who fits in each category. Also, y'all keep your liver spotted hands of Kev and Charlie, they are frickin saints.

  13. Oh Max.... Some things never change. I have been on everyone of your projects, all the radio shows and newpapers and everything (except your alliances which make good targets) We might all like to rip on you for your "failure" bit it is all just in good fun. As everyone on here has stated it is better to try and attempt rather than just sit around doing nothing. You provided great content over the years and even though your website is down I hope you will still continue to create content. I always check up on stuff you create or post on forums and even though he wont post here I know Ockey did as well. inb4 Orb Mobile App.

  15. Hey Max, I've always respected your hustle for this game, but we ebb and flow in life and we always need to take a step back to realize what's real. You made/make this game more fleshed out off browser. and your past roleplay events/participation was always a good time. ORB may have closed, but we are all very happy with what you've done and if there's ever a lil something in the future, I'm sure we'll be open for that. Best of luck in life and your career, stay happy; you're not a failure.

  16. If er were to organize an RP that was very much wholesome and had some power struggles going on, but have it be fair at the same time, that'd be great. I agree with the fact that nations shouldn't immediately be plunged into immense power. Almost like each nation needs a backstory, a national dialog, and some real content before being able to move outward. While I enjoy looking at my bubble on a map get bigger, I believe development from within is what should make a nation great before extruding. So if there was some form of way to make it not feel restricting, but also have guidelines on how much interior dialog there is before one can extrude outward would be great. Moreover, Nations that are small should not necessarily be reprimanded by size, should one have high internal development and role play; that'd be awesome. Usually what I see is people just fighting, taking land, disputing constantly without a real personal dialog between the powers and that isn't fun RP, that's entropy. There must be moments like that of course, but I want to see focus on the individual narrative and fleshing out of the personal nations. That's just what I enjoy, and I'm glad you're bringing this conversation up.

"Hi guys i'm max and i'm a failure because i'm such a successful career man IRL that i'm too busy making money to write articles about a bunch of nerds flipping out over what other nerds said in a browser game where said nerds LARP as nations fighting each other." Max hun, i think i speak for everyone including your parents, this is the opposite of failure.

  30. What Fraggle Said x2. I didn't go on the site much myself, but the server is one of the few places I actually enjoy being and one I'll probably keep around. You've done some great work mate, no shame in putting your RL first tho. (DIO, your pfp is causing me PTSD. fricking Tonberrys...)

  31. Personally, I like this - not only did you use the word multiple times in the apology, but you pinpointed those snowflakes you hurt. No better way to apologize. unwilling employee might not have the same ring to it, but if it makes them feel better, I'm all for it.

  36. Some actual propaganda. https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=142352&display=bank Bank in question. Lets also take a look at Sphinx, one of the conspirators of having Chaos and KETOG hit. Oof. So not only are people getting wrecked for supporting those who plotted against Chaos/KETOG, it seems some of you are going the distance with this. @Aragorn, son of Arathorn, don’t worry. There’s more soon to come!

So this announces the deletion of my nation. GOT A BUCKET LIST BEFORE I GO LOL. MEME BUCKET LIST THEREFORE DECLARES ITS EXISTENCE.
