On the final hill above the plains, Boris: The Noble of Death, Regent of The Wei, sat still on his horse, casting a mighty shadow on the slopes below him. Further away to his left, a battalion of Weists led by General Penpiko, and his lieutenant, the Warlord Fi waited patiently, grim looks on their faces as they surveyed the writhing mass of the enemy below them. To his right, another battalion of Weists, with the Half Man Half Pigeon stamping his feet (talons?) at the front of the army. His Excellency James: The Regent of the South, and The Royalist Filip sat beside him on their own steeds. “Their forces are too great, there is only so much we can do before we fall to such a mass of soldiers” said Filip. “Even with the help of the armies from the Oasis we will struggle to see a victory here today” “We will do what we must to see the Heavenly Kingdom through to another dawn” was Boris’ reply. Even now the Oasis soldiers are preparing for their first onslaught. “Is there nothing we can do?” “Let us engage them first, Your Excellency” was Filip’s reply. “As they face us, you and Penpiko can charge down and show them Hell” And so Boris watched as the battallions of James, Filip and the Half Pigeon roared into the mass of the enemy, until he lost sight of their determined faces. Then, with the sound of horns, and screams from the Weists, the remainder of the armies of The Wei rushed down to meet their foe. Initial successes came fast – Penpiko led a charge that ripped through the first lines of the enemies defence. Many before him fell, and many more fled his wrath. But even such a valiant attempt as this can only burn so much, before it fades in the face of insurmountable odds. In the middle of the battlefield stood Erios The Giant, swinging his lurid green glowing club, but soon he too was lost amongst the hoards. And so the battle continued... The dust had settled, covering the desolate plains, strewn with bodies, with a fine grey-brown film. Boris, The Noble of Death picked his way through the mess, the faces of fallen comrades and destroyed enemies staring blankly up at him. To his left, the vibrant greens of the Oasis caught his eye – an emerald in the sea of brown. The emerald may have been smouldering a bit from its recent encounters, but the green still showed through. He smiled – the foe had been fought back for now. Before him as he walked, rows upon rows of Weist soldiers still stood, scarred and bloodied, but nevertheless standing tall and resolute after the challenges they had faced. General Penpiko and The Royalist: Filip, stood at the head of the Weist army. Both were decorated with many new cuts and bruises, and Penpiko had slung over his horse the severed heads of many a slain enemy. Both were grinning triumphantly. Before them was James, lying in a pool of blood (of an unknown origin) giggling madly to himself. Elsewhere, others were shaking off the dust, or wiping layers of blood from their faces. In the distance, the Warlord Fi was picking through a pile of dead-men’s swords, presumably in search of the biggest and shiniest one to add to his ever increasing collection. Governor Ram was sharpening his sword on the helmet of a bloodied corpse Boris, spoke to the crowd before him, giving a hand-up to James as he did. “So, we live to see another day. Another day in a land free from our enemies. A most pleasant day, that is ever more pleasing seeing so many of you hale and hearty!” There was a rumble of appreciation from the crowd. “This, I think, calls for a celebration. Let us return to our halls and drink to our fallen friends. But first we must say goodbye to our comrades from the Oasis. For now we split paths in search of new horizons” With the patting of backs, and cheers from all sides, the people of The Wei bade farewell to their former allies and went on their wei. The Fake James, with tears in his eyes, hugged the Definitive James, and sobbed into his shoulder, apologising for attempting to steal his name. The usually gruff Regent of The Wei let out a sob and returned the hug, for an almost awkward amount of time. “I will miss taunting you, my little Fred” was the only thing that could be heard amongst the sobs. An hour before the sun began to set, the company of The Wei departed the Oasis and turned towards home.

In addition to the changes to the process, we have also significantly reduced the number of categories for this year from 78 to 36. Worry not though! We are also inviting you all to help participate in this year’s awards process by nominating and deciding on four categories. The categories we currently have are as follows: Alliance categories Player categories Community categories For some inspiration, here are some of the categories from previous years (along with some nominations from the Organizing Committee) that will automatically be included in the nominations: Feel free to nominate as many new categories in the thread below as you like but make each nomination a separate post.

ngl, in the individuals timelapse for GW21 I was really hoping to see Alex come soaring into the lead after Alpha got deleted.

One could say you're...going your own wei. 🥴

This is a really simple suggestion. Instead of going to your cities and clicking loads of times to bulk import city builds there should be a button at the top of the cities page (see screenshot). That's all folks

Just don't. Don't pretend like you are going to go to the gym for your new years resolution. Going on a diet is also unoriginal and wont fix you either. You aren't going to stop smoking or drinking because you are mentally weak. You won't save money because you will still blow it simping on twitch. You aren't finally going to get a girl in 2022 because you still play PnW. And no, Rosesphere isn't going to turn the war around. It was a lot of fun but didn't last long enough. Kind of like your love life. That's why its always good to have a quick release before the main event, like Clock did. That being said, Rosesphere formally surrender to Clock which will take effect at DC this wonderful New Years Eve. No new wars will be declared after DC on December 31st, 2021 (Today). No nap.

It was a cool crisp morning in Winterfell. Zygon, King in the North, stood on the battlements, looking out across his lands as the sun rose over the hills. His breath clouded the air, but his mind was as clear as it had ever been. A new era was dawning on his House. He remained on the wall for a few more minutes, soaking in the sun and the beauty of the North before heading down to the courtyard, mounting his horse, and leading his court and bannermen out of the castle to the Godswood. The procession was quiet, save for the whispers amongst the Northerners wondering what the purpose of their journey was. Upon reaching the Godswood, they dismounted and ventured into the wood. Despite the cold, and snow that spotted the ground the interior of the wood was warm, with the smell of magic in the air. There was no snow, there was no cold, there was only peace and calm. Eventually, the great, ancient, Weirwood came into view. It’s face and eyes forever ominously watching. The Northerners and Court gathered around the tree while Zygon walked up to the tree, placed his hand upon it for a moment in silent prayer and then turned around. “My Lords, and loyal bannermen of our great Kingdom, I know many of you are wondering why we have come to our sacred wood today. Besides it being good for body and soul, I have an announcement I wish to share with you that should be done in the sight of our Gods. The past five years have left me scarred and deformed and I find myself dreaming and longing for a more simple life than what I currently have. A life of video games and grammar education. To further that dream, I have made the decision to step down as your King.” A wave of gasps and mutterings flowed across the crowd. “Now I know that this may come as a surprise to you. After all, I have led our glorious House for over five years. From the foundation of our kingdom, through fire and blood, through dark times, you have allowed me to rule and bring our House to greatness. However, there is only so much that one man can do, and I believe I have brought us as far as I can. It is only right that I step aside and allow someone else the opportunity to bring us to new peaks.” “My king, who here is worthy enough to take your place?” A voice called from the crowd. “My Lord,” Zygon replied, “There is but one man I would trust to rule our House and to carry our Kingdom to new heights. You all know him. He has fought alongside you, saved some of your lives, bled for his King, and been a faithful servant throughout my reign and is as a brother to me. That man is none other than Lord Ataxia. Please, my friend, come forward.” Ataxia exited the crowd and walked up to Zygon next to the tree. Zygon turned toward him, and said “Kneel, Lord Ataxia.” Ataxia knelt down with his head bowed and Zygon turned toward the crowd, “Does any man here have a better claim to the throne than Lord Ataxia, or can prove he is somehow unfit to reign as King in the North?” All was silent save for the spring bubbling next to the great Weirwood tree. Zygon unsheathed Ice, House Stark’s Valyrian steel sword and placed it into the ground with his hands resting upon the pommel. “Lord Ataxia, no man here can prove that they are better suited for the throne than yourself. Do you swear to act honorably in all that you do? To better your House and Kingdom? To carry out your duties as King in the North, no matter what is required or when it is required of you?” “I so swear, in front of the Lords and Bannermen of House Stark, and in full view of the Gods, old and new.” Ataxia replied. Zygon commanded oil to be brought and poured it over Ataxia’s head, solemnly removed the spiked bronze and iron crown from his head, then placed it upon Ataxia. “I, Zygon of House Stark, First of His Name, King in the North, Protector of the Realm, Misspeller of Werdz, Slayer of Dragons, and Harbinger of Justice, hereby relinquish my title and authority and pass it on to you, Ataxia of House Stark, First of his Name, Protector of the Realm, Friend of $nek, Gator Whisperer, Lord of Direwolves, and the KING IN THE NORTH!” Zygon stepped back and knelt as Ataxia grasped Ice’s pommel and standing, turned to face the gathered Northerners. For a moment all was silent, but then the quiet was broken by the rasping of swords leaving their sheaths, being thrust into the air and the Northerners together taking up the call of “King in the North! King in the North! King in the North!” TLDR: Zygon, King in the North for five years enters a well deserved retirement and is succeeded by Ataxia.

Most likely to succeed in 2022. One of the most important player categories.

I give it 4

I'm sorry but you must disband and merge into BK.

And if your If this is what your own members say....

I agree with dullard disband

Micro bad!

Best copypasta

As you can clearly see the wars were fought out in the beginning resulting in roughly 500m damage dealt to each party. Idk what kind of slotfilling involves taking 500m in damage but I digress. We then reached a peace agreement in which we would be beiged out. The "randomly hitting people" is us raiding as we are no longer affiliated to Weebunism.

I would argue that almost all of the import alliances are just average awful micros and a shadow of their former selves. I'll except GATO, because I wouldn't call them an awful micro, just a normal one. I'll also except Legion, which is wild, because historically, Legion had a legitimate, long term and deadly serious claim to the Worst Alliance Ever crown, and now they actually look kinda competent. I hope all the others feel crippling shame that they've been leapfrogged, though. EDIT: Also, Ampersand gets a pass because they got pwned by hackers while they still had 150-200 members, so they were never going to become what R&R was.

Good Luck Wei!

I only wish this could've waited a day so that I could channel my inner boomer and say "man, I can't believe we've been fighting you guys since last year!"

You're lucky the might of IRON turned the tides at the last minute!

You deserve Camelot and Camelot deserves you.

This one was good, props. I still remember when you were DMing people and recruiting them to IRON before it was made :c How the times have changed

Some wars you can't win, unfortunately. 😬

Us, the ordinary members, the workers of Orbis are the ones who do the fighting, but the bourgeois FA and leadership think they can negotiate on our behalf. Screw this, I say, we should all present our terms to the enemy rather than the bourgeois presenting theirs. Post your terms here, and the funniest ones (as judged by most haha reacts) get 20M from me. My terms -> UU change their acronym to UwU for 1 month. United Socialist Nations change their name to Individualist Capitalist Conglomerates for 1 month. TFP pay $420 to Spanky as war reparations. Lord Tyrion write a 600-700 word essay on why secret treaties are bad. TI endorse RON as the most unbiased news network of Orbis in their announcements (and then the announcement in turn gets 'leaked' to RON).

Allow Alliances to add a custom flag for their alliance for 1 credit.

Given how many legacy Alliances have disbanded in the recent past, I think it's reasonable to add this back in.

At least, you got one of them right

One that I'd like to get out of the way right now, is Best Holiday Flag: Now, I know what you're thinking, "holy shit is that flag awful," and you're not wrong. But just take a few minutes to really take it in. What on Earth is that texture on the red background? The rendering is uncanny. The gold on red contrast is poor, but I can get over that - however, it should be noted that the snowflake colour scheme is consistent except for one single snowflake. I get the ankh, because, you know, The Immortals. But centre-scene, the early 2000s CGI Santa popping out through Christmas wrapping paper background? Truly astounding. It's so bad that it's practically a work of art. Whoever made this, know that I'm so very disappointed in you, but I also have a deep, immense respect for having created an atrocity of this scale.
