Last recorded log of fanatic cult leader, Thrax (self declared spaceman), to his personal journal: I fear my time has come. The Koolaid fountains have dried out, and our reserves are dangerously thin, almost empty. The people, my wangs, they have grown dissolutioned with my orders to limit Koolaid consumption. Already so many have abandoned ship but those who remain have become starved, the withdrawal symptoms have driven them to madness. Those who left, they called me a liar, a cheat and a false prophet. But those who are left thirst for the Koolaid. My sweet wangs, my followers, I fear they may soon come calling for the Koolaid pounding through my veins. With nothing to wash down the bagels, they become oh so thirsty... Very well. The time has come to feed my sweet wangs. Oh sacred Bocephus, first of his name, give me strength. I only wish ripper would sit upon my lap one more time before I go. One final time: I am become Koolaid, destroyer of Wacky-mallows. Peace. In case you didn't realise it, CoS is disbanding. We want to thank our friends Soup, Seven Kingdoms, The Knights Radiant and Sanreizan for a great time. We couldn't have asked for better allies. We also urge all the participants of the war to end things before there are any more casualties. CoS disbanding came as a direct consequence of this war and nobody should take war to the extremes of destroying a community. We wish all the best to those still fighting and hope you end this thing sooner rather than later. To the ex government members of AK, we thank you for fueling our alliance's existence purely through sheer will and spite to prove you wrong. It was most beneficial, now however since you're also gone our spite dried up. Guess that's the way the cookie crumbles. Cheers all! Tldr: despite our best efforts, CoS is no more.

The forces of Opus Dei (GOONS, the New Pacific Order, Black Knights, Guardians of the Galaxy), various alliances associated with them (including Camelot, the United Socialist Nations, Polaris, Guinea Pig Whaling Corps and Brotherhood of Clouds, Advanced Syndicalist Mechanics and Heaven's Gate) as well as the forces of Covenant (UPN and Acadia), collectively referred to as “Memesphere”, henceforth enter into this agreement with the entity referred to as “Schrutesphere” (Schrute Farms, World Task Force, Horsemen, Pantheon) and various alliances associated with them (including the Federation of Commerce States and and Deathly Hallows, The Regiment and The Federation): Clause One: Memesphere hereby agrees to an immediate end of conflict with Schrutesphere. Both sides agree to conclude all current wars with one another, and they shall declare no further wars.

We did what's right went through all this - for allies and friends, When TI got pre-emptied, it was Pantheon standing up activating it's M-level treaty and defending The Immortals, however circumstances seems to show this whole show was orchestrated by nasty greedy people who thought using alliances like a shield for repairing it's own side and bailing themselves out of this war and remaining a top absolute power is a good idea and will work just great this is a true failure. I only feel bad for all this people being used as numbers, not given respect and only were being thought as a distraction as TCW itself mentioned. But it all comes down to doing what's right one more time, and that is white peace and a NAP of 9 months with OD Sphere. Hail Pantheon ~SixSadistic66

The working tiers and the whale tiers have nothing in common. There can be no peace so long as hunger and want are found among millions of the working nations and the few, who make up the ruling whale class, have all the good things of life. Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the workers of Orbis organize as a class, take possession of the pixels of production, abolish the whale system, and live in harmony with Orbis. We find that the centering of the management of pixels into fewer and fewer nations makes the working alliances unable to cope with the ever growing power of the whale class. The spheres foster a state of affairs which allows one set of workers to be pitted against another set of workers with the same interests, thereby helping defeat one another in class wars. Moreover, the spheres aid the employing class to mislead the workers into the belief that the working nations have interests in common with the whales. These conditions can be changed and the interest of the working nations upheld only by an organization formed in such a way that all its nations in any one tier, or in all tiers if necessary, cease production and strike out whenever a member a strike or lockout is on in any department thereof, thus making an injury to one an injury to all. Instead of the whales motto, "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work," we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, "Abolition of the whale system.".” We must break free from the chains the Whale tiers have imposed on the working tiers. We cast out the oppressors and imperialists. Surviving no more on the scraps from their table. It is our turn, the turn of the workers, to reach up and seize it for ourselves. The Whale tier was built from the unpaid wages of the worker tier. It is the historic mission of the working nations to do away with Whalism., because whale governments in capitalist society are but committees of the rich to manage the affairs of the whale class. The army of production must be organized, not only for everyday struggle with Whales, but also to carry on production when Whalism shall have been overthrown. By organizing industrially we are forming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old. We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. BREAK THE CHAINS!

Well I'm just glad that my baby from 2015 is getting attention and I can make my first shitpost in years. What better way to spend a Friday night than looking at logs. To be clear, I don't really give a shit about this game and you all know I have no love or super hatred towards BK so hopefully this post is fairly conclusive. I still run BK's forums and BKNet was 90% created by myself. The entire banking aspect as created by myself but I have not maintained the application since early 2017. Tiber and George have maintained and added to the application since. I can say with fairly certain confidence that George did in fact abuse BKNet to remove members from BK and had the help of an accomplice. Of course the database password for BKNet is stored in an environment file and George had access to that password. The password was not changed after George left BK. There are only three people that I am aware of that have had access to and that is myself, Tiber, and George. This is how George obtained the database password. BKNet does have the ability to remove members from the alliance. Through an Internal Affairs module that managed the upgrade training of the applicants, George and his accomplice removed members from the alliance. George used phpMyAdmin (which, why the hell did I not remove that program?) to delete the logs that track these kinds of things. It is clear that while George's accomplice removed the members from the alliance, George cleaned up the logs in the database. Fortunately, Apache keeps logs of every request and yes, I really did look through them. You can clearly see the GET and POST requests to the specific endpoints in the Internal Affairs module of BKNet by his accomplice to remove the members and the specific endpoints of phpMyAdmin utilized by George to modify the database. Why do I know this is George? Well, this is why I said "fairly certain confidence." The IP address involved in this attack matches the same location of all the IP address that George used to login to the BK forums. Additionally, the only way for someone to have access to the BKNet database is to have had access to the environment file, which out of myself, Tiber, and George, the only one with a motive here is George. As for his accomplice, all I know is he is from France and uses the OnePlus A6013. So while I can't say for certain that George conducted this "attack," I would say it is fairly clear that he was involved. Additionally, everything that BKNet does requires some sort of user input to initiate the action. If this was a script that went "rogue," then the script would've been initiated with an internal IP and it is clear that it was not. BKNet was not compromised; it did exactly what it was told. This was a failure of basic security and BK has learned the lesson the hard way.

So Coalition B did peace, maybe the problems in dialup war negotiations wasn't from coalition B after all

I want to take a moment and thank the representatives from Schrutesphere for working diligently with us to bring about a conclusion to this conflict. I have no doubt that going forward we will be able to build our understanding and trust in peace. Thank you.

This post will age poorly.

Because just as if you worked as an opening manager for your local dollar store and was given a set of keys to be able to open up shop every morning, yes you were approved and authorized at that time while you were agreeing to work for them. Additionally, having those keys doesn't authorize you to go in any time you wish and take any and/or all items you wish. And had you resigned from that job and still had the keys because there wasn't a chance to return them yet, using those keys to get in is now quite obviously unauthorized, as the day you resigned you relinquish your employment and rights to access it. Even without the keys, if you discovered the door unlocked in the middle of the night, you'd still be charged with breaking & entering, because surprise surprise...the door being unlocked is not necessarily granting permission or authorization for you to go in.

FROM BOCEPHUS, THE CANINE OVERLORD OF ORBIS: TO ALL WHO HEAR THESE WORDS AND TREMBLE. TO ALL THE GOOD BOYS/GIRLS I BESTOW UPON YOU MANY WAGS. THANKS FOR THE BELLY RUBS AND SCRITCHES. YOU HAVE MY BLESSINGS. TO THE HATERS: NOTHING BUT BARKS AND LEG HIKES. I WILL DIG UP YOUR FLOWERS AND POOP ON YOUR PORCH. I WILL HUMP THE LEGS OF ALL YOU HOLD DEAR IN YOUR HEARTS. THIS IS NOT GOODBYE BUT FAREWELL FOR NOW. I AM THE NEW FIRST MATE ABOARD THE CRITTERS. I WILL BE COMING FOR THAT BOOTY, SO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE HORIZON...... BOCEPHUS

Pooball? Your back?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the esteemed Methrage

Avengers have merged into Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union! Avengers will now be the training alliance for the new members of Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union. We are dropping down all the treaties except for the NAPs in 72 hours. Thanks to all our allies who have helped us in growing. We had a phenomenal growth in last 1 month and we are sure merging into Gentlemen's Gaming and Fisticuffs Union will be beneficial for the growth of our member nation.

Completly agreed, it is sad how sometimes people can't see how we are human's and respect is basic.

@SixSadistic66 What some members of (what are we calling them? TcW-sphere?) said about your alliance and you personally were unacceptable. I'm sorry that you were put in such a position. Enjoy your rebuild, and perhaps next time we can meet on the field of battle under better circumstances.

Grats on not letting yourselves be used up and thrown out. GL on the rebuild.

>The Galactic Republic has collapsed due to a coup cackles evilly

General Secretary w00tles of Hobotown ordered an airstrike upon your nation of Badlands. The attack was an immense triumph. General Secretary w00tles's forces lost 0 aircraft, while your defenders lost 0 aircraft. You used 0.00 munitions and gasoline defending the attack. The attack destroyed 11.10 infrastructure in the city of Step 4 and $996.90.

I'm in a good mood today so I'll acknowledge your cry for attention. Schrutesphere and Memesphere came to a mutual understanding and negotiated a mutually agreeable peace. This happened because both sides had something to offer the other that they wanted. Schrutesphere had a large number of members who could cause trouble for Memesphere and prevent us from keeping Coalition A firmly underfoot, and Memesphere had a a well oiled war machine with 7 months of constant fighting experience that could severely damage Schrutesphere beyond what they were willing to sacrifice for "friends" that lied to their faces while denigrating them in private. Coalition A on the other hand wants to obtain a peace that enables them to consolidate their new additions and start farming high infra builds again. And the reciprocal benefit they offer to the power that has utterly defeated them is absolutely nothing without reps. Coalition B largely run resource based mid-low infra builds that aren't nearly as affected by wartime. Coalition A wants us to sacrifice our comparative advantage over them following a war we dominated them in. To get that something needs to be offered to balance the scales and bring forth a mutual understanding. That thing is reps to both make us whole for beating you in your own aggressive war and to offset the comparative economic advantage your side would gain from peace. Leave all the false moralizing at the door and consider, if I ask you to do something that only benefits me when you have leverage over me, why would you ever do it?

Post threads erryday

Who else appreciates the irony in this post?

Funny that TcW isn't in this peace deal.

Pot calling kettle black. You literally tried killing those who called you their own for years, and gave you a community to work win. I look forward to ensuring you pay for your attempts to screw with BKNet after pretty much admitting you just did. And hey at least I don't have to resort to cheating or breaching third party softwares, to do what I have to do ICily. Guess you can't win a war or play the game without being a cheat. Enjoy.

The fact that this thread has been up for 30 minutes and he hasn't responded leads me to believe he's been suspended again.

As someone who has spent 100 years fighting GOONS, my father fought GOONS, and my Father's Father, and his Father before that. And every time they sucked. I must confirm. Absolute gobsh**. Never seen a more morally debased, craptastic fighting force in the entirety of Orbis. Been fighting for 90% of my life here and I can't believe they would go on like this. -Noctis in 5 minutes.

Hey EM @Bjorn Ironside I know it's hard to make you understand something but i will still try to do so Remember when people said you cheated with keno and such? You were so much against cheating. What Gorge did (and you know it) may not be hacking or against the game rules because BKnet being the 3rd party and such but deep down we all know what he did was cheating. He did or helped someone kick BK members, he stole money from BK bank, he withdrew money without authorization, he used BKnet to delete traces without authorization, he leaked confidential logs and so on. Why do you defend him so much? He is a cheater, backstabber and toxic to this game's community. Where is the line? Ofcourse we all know IQ man bad, but where do you draw the line? I ask this from all of you, why do you defend a bad behavior just because it happened to your opponent? Please reconsider your position.

It was fun fighting alongside you guys. While I obviously wish you all had stayed in longer, you all have done your part. Good luck on the rebuild, and good luck in the future!

TPP&W is proud that mere hours after it's creation we have successfully completed peacekeeping operations in Farksphere. Their nations are now liberated and freed from tyranny and we hope that they will continue towards a path of purple power in the future.

can someone translate this for me

So to be clear, George straight up ("didn't") admit to it above and yet people are still arguing he's innocent? Y'all wild.

Because that doesn't change that the job needs to be done? You've got to know that's a pretty garbage argument lol. Now, we still do ours entirely manually but, especially during wartime, that is a tedious task. During peace, not so much. But your argument of "oh, well, don't find ways to make it easier on yourself, just don't do it" is ridiculous. That doesn't mean I'm in favor of full automation because I'm not - I still think you need to have manual input on both sides (as in a request and approval of a request) if you're going to have anything like a banking bot, for example - but I totally understand the want to devise a tool to make your game life easier. That's why most bots/tools are made.

Don’t bother. George admitted he did it with his hypothetical cop out above and EM is Still defending him.

I find it amusing how half the people mocking GOONS here about few shitty air strikes are the same alliances who beige everyone left and right and allow GOONS to rebuild their planes in beige

I am at war this nation and would like to voice that I do believe he is warslot filling on this war: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=589085 Allied gov members in game and if you compare his offensive war on me vs against the mad titan - the bare minimum is being done in order to maintain the look of a real war. Let's not even get started on his defensive war here: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/war/timeline/war=588361 Which again is a war between 2 allied gov members in order to fill a defensive slot and ruin any chance of cycling the nation.

I'm sorry, I beg to differ. Banking is tedious af for mass member alliances, regardless of the tax rate.

CoS was home to many great people in the community and world of Orbis. It is sad to see what some would view as a pillar leave said world. You guys fought long and hard to get where you were and ultimately became war torn. Retirement is well deserved though sad. For those that called CoS home, I wish you the best of luck in finding a new home if you choose to stay in this world. o7 CoS... o7

Bruh y'all listened for once

Hello Orbis, Raoul Duke here, Co-Co-Leader of The Horsemen and verified compulsory beiger. Glad to be a part of this nonsense again and looking forward to blowing up at least 14 more imaginary tanks before I over-extend and lose my illusory air force. But What kind of quagmire is this? Both sides appear to believe they are fighting for the existence of the game. Both sides love giving orders and pretending they are General Patton. Both sides believe the other is the villain. Orbis has become Earth without the real smell of blood or the real pain of death (full disclosure: I've never died but I have seen it. Looks unpleasant.) As always, this could be settled with a virtual handshake and a mandatory "good game" but the powers that remain will continue to whip their followers into a frenzy and demand allegiance and compliance for some goal which is never really defined. This isn't WWIII. This is a group of boys (and maybe 4 chicks) who are using their thumbs or index fingers to do the same thing every politician on the actual earth does: Manipulate, spin and control. Chill out you savages. Roquentin isn't the Great Satan. Adrienne isn't the harbinger of the apocalypse. We're all just people pretending to blow each other up for stats and pride. Alright I have to go air strike UPN for some reason.

I bet you all sucked in your first war, this is their first real war and they are low tier only so too early to judge

Bro, add some spoilers. My eyes died five times trying to get through the signatures. -------- To everyone who peaced out, it was fun while it lasted. Horsemen, especially, @Raoul Duke y'all were great, and you got a great vibe going. Good luck and on to the future! P.S. Anyone trying to use their peace as a propaganda tactic is misinformed on the circumstances (on both sides), and arguably just as bad as the reason this happened in the first place. Let's be civil and respectful o7

Lasted longer than I would've wanted but eh

You guys came in, wrote your story, and now the ink is dry and you're closing the book. This is what the life cycle of a successful alliance is. Founding with intent, accomplishing clear goals, and dissolving when necessary. Permanence is slavery.

You bastards did it, you made me log into the forums again. Despite being sad to see the alliance go big thanks to CoS for being some of the best allies one could ask for. Without your community the game wouldn’t have been as enjoyable as it has been for me.

I don't know about this part. I've interacted with a lot of people in my 5 years of playing, and there's only 2 people I know who definitely fall into the 'clinically a sociopath' group. The game does attract a very narrow and 'interesting' set of people though. I like the idea of having global events (like a zombie apocalypse or a massive asteroid) that will encourage alliances everywhere to pool resources together to prevent massive damage to infra/land/military/improvements. These events would also present opportunities for alliances to harm each other as well, though (to allow for drama). I've thought a lot about the astroid one in particular. I should type my thoughts down and present it in the suggestions subforum.

hi! as the rules state that going into vm with a bank for the sole reason of protecting it from raids is bad, i am not protecting it, i am stealing it, so i am not bad
