“A small town is clinging along the coastline of the great ocean of Orbis. A town that at one time can be called old and at one time young. Filled with houses that seem older than the town, with inhabitants older than both. The well-walked roads laid quiet. The only sound being heard was coming from the cold howls of the December wind. The town looked as if it was dead, the only sign of life coming from the few rays of gleaming light that escaped from behind the well-boarded shutters. The inhabitants were all holed up inside their homes, peacefully sleeping in their beds. If anyone in the town had dared to brave the elements and had looked towards the horizon of the sea, they might have been able to just make out the outline of a ship. If the moonlight had hit it just right, they would surely have noticed that it was unmistakably heading directly towards them. But, as it was, the town laid quiet, as torn up sails slowly moved the dark ship ever closer. At daybreak, the first rays of sunlight illuminated the worn hull of the ship; clear signs of past repairs littered the darkwood that made up the frame of the ship. Every crew member, past or present, seemed to have added their own touch to the old ship. Pirates independent and free. Battle-hardened beyond belief. Only few of them were there, when the ship set sail for the first time, even fewer can still remember the beginning of those travels, all those year ago, when the ship was still unscarred from battle. As the ship got ever closer to the town, dozens upon dozens of muzzles became visible, as cannons got pushed out the gun port, to the sounds of hard commands from the officers on board, and eager yells from the men, as the ship lined up it broadside. One might have been fooled into thinking that the cannons would have been as worn out as the ship appeared. But no, the sun shined of them like they were new, they looked like they were forged only hours ago. Suddenly, a series of muzzle flashes appeared from the cannons. With a deafening bang, the cannonballs ripped into the town’s buildings. As the town's inhabitants awoke to the screams and explosions, a blue-bearded captain turned over in his bed, mumbling about the noise that early in the morning.” ~ From the memoirs of an unknown sea-traveller It has been 5 years since the first time Jolly Roger was raised over The Freebooting Pirate Anarchy of Arrgh! At that time, a crew of degenerates, criminals, thieves and warriors, led by the gentleman-pirate Ogaden, decided to sail the seven seas in search for booty, new exotic pleasures and glory! Since then, hundreds of pirates have passed from this warmongering alliance. Some of them acquired mythical treasures and retired in other, more peaceful places of the world. Some others never stopped raiding, even if that meant that they would never have it easy and all the Doubloons they would earn from a successful raid would just be used to cover the costs of a less profitable one. Some others just stayed on-board only for a few weeks or even days, before realising that they were not cut for the pirate life All of them though left a part of their body and mind on the Arrgh ship (thus the missing eyes, hands and legs). And many of them got in their turn a part of the ship in them. After 5 years of almost constant warfare and raiding, 60 different alliance wars (at least that many can be remembered by the pirates staying semi-sober every now and then), and 9 different generations of Arrgh admiralty, the merry pirate ship is still sailing all around Orbis, with its pirates keeping their chin up high and their flags even higher. And while Arrgh is far from old enough to drink (then again, Arrgh! has never been much for rules, like the legal drinking age), as Ogaden would have said: “So here's to you, old girl, I raise my glass of rum and salute the Black Jack!” Arrgh!

The creation of this new MDoAP bloc has been a work in progress by many for sometime and we are pleased to finally get the chance to announce it. Preamble: We the sovereign powers of The Commonwealth, The Manhattan Cartel, Weebunism, North Point, Demacia and IronFront in recognising the shared mutual ambitions of all parties have agreed to the following articles: Article I: Outstanding Service Any signatory who leaves the bloc in good standing shall be subject to a 4 month Non-Aggression Pact binding to all existing parties of the Bloc.

Article III: Optional Aggression No signatory party to this treaty shall be required to participate in the offensive wars of another signatory. However the cooperation of all parties in military operations for the benefit of the group as a whole are strongly encouraged. Article IV: Ultra-Supremacy This pact shall take precedence over any and all current and future treaties of all signatories. In the event an ally of a signatory member attacks another signatory, that signatory will consider their other treaty null and void and activate Article II. Article V: Political Independence All signatories party to this treaty that wish to sign a treaty with a party outside this bloc, shall notify the bloc 7 days in advance for discussions.

Disband.

This is adorable ☺️ Best of luck on your big new adventure! I’m sure you’ll learn many things and meet new friends along the way. I know all of the leaders in this bloc are pretty new to leadership and are still learning. If you need any help along the way, there are plenty of leaders out there that would be happy to give their advice/directive! Go get ‘em slugger!

Y'all are going to be at City 40 in no time. Congrats and good luck.

Hey @Alex While i understand not wanting to punish people for making reports, i think it has become clear a lot of people are now reporting bull in the hopes you may agree with them and issue stikes. It really has gotten out of hand and needs to be resolved. If a word 9,000 years ago, when translated on google 3 times, jumping up and down while typing after petting your kitten and making chicken pot pie may have meant something bad back then, but has no current relevance is reported, it obvs is trying to use moderation as a weapon.(example is obvs fake but u get the point) Its time to step up and solve this issue as the admin of the game

blushes My favorite stat. @Bluebear suck it! I am ahead of you!

Where is the "Socialist organizer that doesn't believe impeachment will amount to anything meaningful because it's just political theater" option?

Gotta be honest, once upon a time I didn't expect Arrgh to survive past the first couple generations (Ogaden & Friends), but here you are! Props for that, it's no small accomplishment for an alliance to outlive its old guard. ? Arrgh!

Big talk from some noob scrub. Again, not first nor last alliance that had feud with Arrgh. Arrgh had it's ups and downs, and one thing we never done, was mesure our wellbeing by some silly graph score. And I have a feeling Arrgh's gonna outlive your bs "cancelled tip" alliance. Hey! Show the full stat page scrub! I might not be #1 on it anymore, but I'm still there! (also marked all current and former members that I'm aware of at least)

because you and your alliance act in good faith?

Hats off to you, Mateys! That’s some impressive sh*t.

Narh, it wouldn't be fair for the rest of the game if we coordinated. Afterall it seem it take an average 7 goons members to defeat 1 Arrgh member. Can you imagine dealing with two of us on the same time? *shudder* terrifying.

Who's making the mixtape?

My condolences to both parties.

WE ARE GOONT

https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=101040 https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=182014 Different Unique ID, but pretty much the same name, and identical names for some cities.

More often than not, our policies have had to clash, but I’ve always held respect for the steadfastness with which players like Ogaden have conducted themselves with. May your ship always sail, even if you are to land on my shores. Arrgh!

o7 Arrgh!

That's... just amazing.

me when my alliance breaks the top 50

The Game Rules do not forbid using non-English languages ingame.

This game doesn’t need a change in war mechanics. This game needs a change in alliance leaders....

07 Arrgh! I hope you enjoy many more years of raids and loot

Arrgh!
