Spammy material is spam subforum. Why is this in OC?

Now that is a !@#$in' flag, kudos for you Arrgh ladies and gents!

Epic.

I second Kurdanak, build a little bit more military though, I don't want it being too one-sided

Pirates from Arrgh disturb God Emperor Dio Brando
Diocletian replied to Kemal Ergenekon's topic in Alliance Affairs
Not really, just wait until this war triggers a larger one. That's when it'll be time to sell. I highly doubt anyone will come to Arrgh's defense, especially with the carnage that has already been wrought on them, but I do think a much larger conflict is brewing. Only time will tell, be sure to keep a decent amount of steel too as that stuff is worth its weight in gold -
Pirates from Arrgh disturb God Emperor Dio Brando

Onwards to glory! o/ -
This small nation drama is epic. Also, this should probably be in the spam subforum.

Stereotype the political beliefs of the person above you.

Bible-thumping Crusader? -
C'mon all, my bank account needs enriched Orbis needs more war. We haven't had a good fight for a few months now! Best of luck to you MDMA guys though, I think you'll need all you can get.

The Monroe Republic Formal Declaration of War
Diocletian replied to Church's topic in Alliance Affairs
Pretty ballsy, if not moreso suicidal, maneuver you guys. As a previous poster stated, however, you missed the anti-Arrgh wardrums by roughly two weeks. It doesn't hurt to get a little experience in at any rate. Good luck to all involved -
A Final Announcement from The Dutch East India Company
Diocletian replied to TheNG's topic in Alliance Affairs
+1 for historical accuracy. C'mon DEIC, show Arrgh what a buncha determined cheesemakers can really do! -
I'll take this bet as well.
-
I was under the impression you guys were trying to muscle in on the merc business, has that changed or was it false to begin with? Regardless, I wish you all luck with your endeavor!

An announcement from the Justice Division
Diocletian replied to Kamea Arano's topic in National Affairs
First Arrgh and now Roz Wei? Wow, you GPA warmongers have been greatly impressing me lately! -
You know Temple, prior to you raiding everyone with the sole intent of "easy money" and pissing everyone off, I didn't have an opinion of you either way. What finally put me over the edge was your empty promises of ceasing attacks on our members. Had you calmed down, been a good boy and played ball I would of had literally nothing to base any ill-will I may feel toward you now. That said, while I clearly won't soon trust your word, I think you've paid a reasonable price for your indiscretions thus far (I alone destroyed almost 4k of your infra). If you intend for your pnw nation to have any sort of longevity I suggest you start working hard at making amends to all the AAs you've pissed with.

The Automated Rogue Nation Act III Viridian Entente
Diocletian replied to Conner Temple's topic in National Affairs
It's been fun devestating your pixels, Temple! Tis a shame you are behaving in a way that will lead only to ZI, though. Oh well, you reap what you sow! Speaking of which, I'm offering my slot on this guy (which will expire on the 20th at 4 p.m. Orbis time) to whomever wants it. By the time it's said and done he'll likely be only around 4-500 ns, but an eternal blockade sounds like fun, doesn't it? -
A ring?

Cloud's been epic since '97. He's an OG!

Assumptions are a !@#$, aren't they? You seem to be doing more then your fair share as well! Even assuming you're correct that none of my fellow citizens would be on "my side," it only takes one person to spread an ideological revolution. I can confidently assure you that my humble views are far from an isolated event. Are most of these so-called "three percenters" talking the talk, but refusing to walk? Absolutely. You still fail to realize, much less accept the fact, that history has been vastly altered by small and determined groups on countless occasions. Your very own [former] British Empire is perhaps the crown jewel in terms of historical examples of the fact. Does your so-called Queen enjoy such a vast dominion nowadays? No? Awww Nevermind your red herring about some guy inspired by ISIS, knife attack, blah blah blah. He could of acquired a firearm just as quickly in Britain as in America assuming A.) that was his intention and B.) the fact that firearms are banned for even the majority of the police force, let alone civilian populace. Why go "the extra mile" and wait all that added time when he could still "kill for Allah" at that moment without fear of being countered by an equally deadly force? Speaking of which, how well is your guy's ban on knives working?
-
Have you ever heard of a militia? Oh, right, you're British. Also, kudos on reverting straight to trolling vs addressing anything with any substance. I also particularly enjoyed you ignoring the argument of natural vs legal rights.
-
Who said anything about the Bible? Even if you lack knowledge about renaissance military history, which is clearly the case, even a red herring such as this falls flat on its face. You'd realize by doing just a tiny bit of research on the subject that Christian armies have been employing the use of firearms since the 15th century. It may not have been 'ordained' by Jesus himself, but firearm ownership and usage has been a mainstay practice in all major 'religious conflicts' as well as during periods of peace since a few hundred years after the discovery of gunpowder. So yes, whether whatever particular diety you may or may not believe in "willed it" - it was quite obviously a right that only a select few practitioners enjoyed in the early days (be it due to cost or government prohibition). Regardless of whether or not a religion's holy book explicitly endorses or prohibits the masses from owning a firearm is irrelevant; natural law prevails above all else. The Second Amendment, and indeed the Bill of Rights in its entirety, is considered natural law. Indeed the supreme law of this land (written by man and not by alleged gods) grant every American citizen, amongst other rights, the right to keep and bear firearms. Trolls such as yourself and "liberals" alike love worshipping so-called "legal rights," which are dictated by the state and typically revoke rights, not grant new or even additional liberties to existing statutes. I should not have to explain how and why that belief is to the detriment of mankind. Every responsible adult has every right to protect him or herself from harm by whatever means necessary. The earliest humans used crude bows, spears, slings, swords and fisticuffs. Defense happens to be hallmarked by firearms in the modern age. The tools of defense change throughout history; the right and necessity to secure oneself and their family does not.
