Big Mac

Good luck all. Going to miss working with you Wei - was fun while it lasted. ❤️

T$ didn't want TKR to leave their sphere? I'm sorry where are coming from here? From someone who was there I can say with certainty that the departure and breakup of Quack was mutual on both sides. Both sides realised the complexity of T$ and TKR being together along with Nexus, BK, tO and CoA and sought to mitigate that. From what you're saying - you are for some reason comparing Celestial to Quack, which utterly baffles me. T$ and Rose becoming partners in no way represents the size of Quack - so don't use that false line. Read through the lines? Mate, maybe if you read the damn lines and look at the c40 tier HW and Clock still command, you will see the "actual state of things."

Clock has over half the number of c40s than Ro$e does, HW has four times as many. We have the most C30+ yes, but wars aren't solely won in this tier. HW aren't far behind us in this tier either. BW and MHC were quite clearly spheres 3 and 4, and with no sign of HW downsizing any time in the future, something needed to be done. I appreciate where you're coming from a Clock perspective, but this is what's happening - so live with it.

Yes, yes. Because 2 spheres holding over 60% of the c40s+ in the game definitely is not bipolarity. Cmon Pascal, ironic isn't it?

I'm sorry. Have a quick look at a score graph, or use a calculator and do some maths, then blink twice when you realise that Celestial is smaller than HW..

If it really was your forum, it would be Lighthouse’s forum. But alas, it’s the PnW forum.

It has never been our wish nor intention to join Clock 😛

[Treaty]Mile High Accords Fortune favours the bold. Preamble: One cold winters day, Big Mac sat in the quiet garden of 221B Baker Street, silence only disrupted by a fleeting bird. Overhead, grey clouds were forming and moving together in patterns, splendid shapes coming and going. A dreich afternoon was clearly being foreshadowed. Thomas and Issac stood faithfully by Big Mac’s side. “Is it time?” Mac asked the two standing beside him. Issac and Thomas gave each other a fleeting look and then nodded in unison. Big Mac looked up at the darkening sky and watched the clouds swirling overhead. A perfect storm was brewing. Signatories: Baker Street: Holmes - Big Mac Watson - Thomas Mrs Hudson - Sir Issac The Gray -------------------------------------------------------------------- Rose: Emperor - Lucianus High Justice - Vexz Horizon Guard of Foreign Affairs - Harry Flashman The Commonwealth: Prime Minister - RightHonorable Chief of Staff - Jeric Foreign Secretary - Azazel The Wei: Regent - James XVI Regent - Boris Underground TL;DR - Baker Street signs an MDoAP with Rose, The Commonwealth and The Wei.

Large alliance =/= good alliance

The Fear strikes deep within us all. Watch out Orbis Also I apologise in advance for the formatting - we had a 30 minute conversation in the VC talking about how to post on the forums - it clearly didn’t sink in… 🤦‍♂️

Epigraph: Every exit is an entry somewhere else Pre-amble: Christmas was a bleak affair for The Commonwealth. The global war had ended only weeks previously and rebuild taxes were taking their toll. As a morale booster, The Commonwealth decided it needed a well-deserved holiday. After cutting ties with old friends, The Commonwealth headed off to the airport. Excitement flourished within the alliance as anticipation of what was to come on this well-earned break soared through the membership. After grabbing a coffee from Costa, The Commonwealth headed through the security check. On arriving at the x-ray conveyer to scan his bag, The Commonwealth looked up, instantly making eye contact with a pair of deep blue eyes that penetrated into his soul. After what seemed like an eternity of gazing into a breath-taking lethargy, an airport security worker stole The Commonwealth’s attention back to reality and asked him to keep moving forward. He forced his eyes down and resumed the mundane process of slowly walking through the series of machines. Fleeting a look back up in hope, The Commonwealth saw the dazzling figure just exiting the security hall, with a Rose twiddled between her forefinger and thumb. As The Commonwealth rode the lift shaft up to the airport gate, the bedazzling figure embedded herself in his head. It was almost like they beckoned to him - needing him to come closer. Passing past the cockpit on his left, The Commonwealth could see all the way to the end tail. Inside the airplane, the fuselage was packed with seamen who appeared to be returning home. The mood was raucous. Even after taking off from the runway, he could not get the powerful draw from those eyes out of his head. Following the ascent into the clouds high above, The Commonwealth heard a large commotion behind him. The Commonwealth turned around and witnessed The Wei stumbling out the toilet, gasping for breath, promptly followed by the composed Lady Rose from the security hall. The Commonwealth’s heart raced. The Wei hauled themselves back to their seat a row behind him next to VooDoo (who were also out of breath and chugging bottles of water). ‘We certainly found The Wei with her’ Wei heaved to VooDoo, who nodded passionately in agreement. The Commonwealth looked back up towards Rose who was standing tall and beautiful in the doorway. The deep blue eyes connected with him again, making his heart race even faster. Slowly, Rose sauntered over to him, never letting for a second eye-contact drop. She bent down and put her face close to his and spoke softly. ‘Are you ready to join The Mile High Club?’ Signatures: Rose: Emperor: Lucianus High Justice: Vexz Horizon Guard of Foreign Affairs: Harry Flashman The Commonwealth: Prime Minister: RightHonourable Chief of Staff: Jeric, Lionstar Foreign Secretary: Azazel The Wei: Regent: James XVI - can’t come to the phone right now Regent: Boris Underground Flying General: Penpiko VooDoo: He Who Pulls The Strings: Vice He Who Pulls The Pins: ToxicPepper The Oracle: Cosmos Advanced Syndicalist Mechanics: On behalf of Valinor Union Redarmy, Lord of Crafts & Dwarves Aiya, Lady of Beauty & Plenty Vexz, Lady of Magic Church Of Atom: Pontifex Atomicus: James II Baker Street: Holmes: Big Mac Watson: Thoma$ Mrs. Hudson: Sir Issac The Gray Passion gets you in the air, performance keeps you there. TL;DR: The Commonwealth signs Rose and VooDoo. Rose Sphere rebrands to the Mile High Club.

Good luck Wei Many good things coming I’m sure

Lucky bugger Lucianus! I’m sure myself and many, many others would help take up that slot if asked

[DoE] [RoH] [DoW] You know my methods, Watson. Epigraph: A DoE, RoH, DoW, and everything else your brain could think of rolled into one. DoE: It was a cold winter’s evening. Holmes was sitting around a fire with a cup of Earl Grey, warming his toes after a long evening of crime-stopping. The mystery of the vanishing woman had been a tough one, but nevertheless, he had cracked it. Watson suddenly burst through the door. ‘Sherlock!’ he exclaimed. ‘I have a new mystery for you.’ Holmes leapt to his feet in excitement. ‘What is it?’ Sherlock demanded. ‘Has Vice lost his reading glasses again?’ ‘Probably,’ admitted Watson. ‘But alas! This is something far more exciting.’ Watson grabbed Holmes by the scruff of his neck and pulled him outside, spilling Holmes’ tea. Despite madly protesting about this unseemly manner in which to move him into the cold and his now abundant lack of hot drink to keep his nerves in check, Holmes was forced into the coolness of London. Standing before him was Mrs. Hudson(s) and Inspectors! And they were all in need of a new home. RoH: On 19/12/2021, the Clock bloc hit Bayou Brothers VooDoo. Dismayed at this tawdry action, Baker Street decided these actions were not to be tolerated and thus recognises hostilities with those who call themselves Clock. DoW: Because of the atrocious actions towards Bayou (or just bae idrc), Baker Street formally declares war on Clock bloc and wishes them the best of luck over the next few days of warring! Extras: To Aurora - Kan this is because you ignored me: TL;DR - Micro declares existence, recognises hostilities and declares war on an entire bloc! Signed: Holmes - Big Mac Watson - Thomas Mrs Hudson - Peelsj Mrs Hudson - RyanK Mrs Hudson - Dungeon Nerdy

Been a while since a post involving TEst, how nice to see Khorne for the khorne flakes

Good luck! Enjoy the blitz Keegoz

When you realised you messed up... Oasis + Mystery: Shit go back

The hypocrisy is amazing. I’m very surprised precedent has not shown that the game hates oversized spheres. Especially spheres which are so large they are double the size of the next largest sphere - especially spheres which have over 1500 damn nations. Duck Hunt wasn’t that long ago that it has been forgotten has it? This ‘defensive’ manoeuvre may well have signed New Swamp’s death warrant. Does this contend for this years ‘Worst FA move?’ Oh yeh, this is a perspective from someone linked to Oasis btw

Will miss you Ben! It was always a ball with TKR, and many memories with you will remain in the highs of my time in this game. The time you’ve led TKR has been brilliant. Good luck to Wizel going forward as well, I don’t think TKR is going anywhere soon!

Good luck friends in TKR, enjoy the ride ❤️

Will be super to see great leaders come together and work in even closer harmony. I’m sure many will be watching this alliance grow with great interest. Good luck to all involved

To all my friends in TKR. It has always been a pleasure working with you no matter the circumstance. Hope another year is filled with the joys of the previous.

Alan... The brains behind every stupid decision made in Orbis.
