(to be fair, this is the most action the game has seen in weeks)

Ahh I just love when my notifications pop up with a non-DOE, DOW, ROH, etc. and show the glories of the nano-world... Gotta say the whole "I am not a anti-gay, but I will not support gay" was a bit of a mind bender there tho lol

Well based on the citation from the absolute most credible source in Orbis, I believe that leads to a few questions to clarify your position on the micro nobility scale: 1. Have you declared war on another micro because your feelings got hurt at the expense of your members? 2. Have you forced your high gov to stay in VM so they will not get hit and when they leave immediately demand all documents and source code to their personal bot? 3. Have you been in the micro-sphere so much there is a multi-alliance coalition that has an entire server dedicated to spamming memes about you constantly at your expense?

So with the whole doxxing thing, I am a bit confused on that maybe someone (possibly @Alan) can clarify: If it is true and did happen, then why wasn't it reported? If it is true, did happen, and was reported, then why wasn't it acted upon? If it is true, did happen, was reported, and acted upon, then why is that still relevant to anyone here? Either way, if the people in question are not in the alliances hitting BS, then I don't think that their actions, however bad they may be, are really relevant here tbh. Like if anyone was directly involved, then that should be handled in tickets with admin not as a reply to a CB. Get it handled, get them gone, and move forward.

Turns out apparently we didn't exist before. We exist now I guess

Glad to see the return back to the OG Training Alliance! Definitely the better name. (I mean a bit biased personally with the name lol)

Yeah honestly this would help reduce so many issues on sending grants with EA/IA stuff to members. On the similar tone of improving the process of withdraws, it would be nice if it could also put in the nation/alliance ID too instead of just nation name or leader name, but Minesome's idea is way more pressing ofc with solving a pretty big issue

Okay in more productive conversation, since clearly the 115th largest alliance with 14 members is not a macro, what does everyone think qualifies how one goes from nano to micro to macro? Rank? Score? Longevity? Impact on the general community? I would assume a combination of them, but just curious as how everyone regards the importance of the different factors impacting grouping

Hey, well looks like you all got the game community to know who you are really quickly. Best of luck with growing your alliance. I know we here all know that it takes some real time and dedication to pull that off.

Whoever wrote this should get a raise. I have been thoroughly convinced by such a post. Hope Atlas is doing well!

Well I posted it, never said that I wrote it to be fair. I credit Empiur and Yzard as the primary authors

We left Yzard behind as the blue, big headed monster. He's still left behind there in the embassies

Well Kan makes me do all the major alliance forum posts now it seems like. Time to coup myself to make someone else do it.

The gang approaches the mansion. They had to find the true identity of a monster with blue skin and a large head. Another routine case for Mystery Inc. They open the grand doors of the centuries old estate with a creak, signaling the start of their investigation. They search the entire ground floor, from the living room to the kitchen and find nothing of importance. Fred is just about to open his mouth when Shaggy interrupts, "Like zoinks guys, I think we should split up." They let out a gasp, shocked that Shaggy was the one to suggest splitting up for once. "How about me n' Scoob head down to the basement while you guys check out upstairs?" He continues. Fred, Velma, and Daphne look at each other before agreeing. As the trio make their way up the stairs, Shaggy and Scooby slowly walk down the stairs. Not soon after, however, the pair come back up the stairs that they had just descended. "You think they're gone Scoobs?" Shaggy asks. "Raggy, rets go," Scooby said. Shaggy nods. He takes out his phone, ordering an Uber to get them away from the mansion and the rest of the gang. Scooby and Shaggy had steeled their resolve prior to the case. The gang had split up many times before, but this time, Shaggy and Scooby were splitting up for good. The Uber approaches the mansion as it parks itself before the porch. The engine lets out a monotone, yet melancholy hum. The doors click open. Taking their steps into the car, the two simultaneously make their final farewell. "Goodbye, Mystery Incorporated," they say, closing the doors, never looking back. With their goodbyes, the car accelerates, taking them away from the estate. Translation: We, Shaggy and Scooby (Aurora and Weebunism), have formally submitted our 72 hours for leaving MInc. We now have less than 24 hours remaining. Signed, Kan0601 and George Putin, Aurora Empiur and Baam, Weebunism

Well that's the super short TLDR there for you folks...

Mystery Inc. had every intention to respect the decision of a fellow leader who was within his treaty rights to invoke the 72-hour clause and not widely publicize the events that happened to reduce unnecessary drama, however, after the heinous lies spread by Epi about the bloc, we feel there is no choice but to respond to these allegations. These disturbing allegations made by Epi are clearly unfounded and the words of an upset individual who, based on the removal of his former leadership team, either did not have their support or that he felt they would not support his decision and forced them to leave. While it is accurate there was some concern regarding his return to power to which some mildly inappropriate jokes were made, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that should have this conversation to which Epi refers to be as sinister. If it was as he portrays it to be, then it would have likely been conducted in a private dm group instead of on a government channel of the bloc’s server which members of Camelot were present. We also call on him to provide evidence backing that there were secret commands in discord bots giving access to government channels. Further, it should be noted that if he was worried about bots having access to the government channels, then he should not have added the bot to the server or given it the permissions. He has accused Mystery Inc. leadership of being the source of a leak and ordering his fellow leaders to fix it. However, after further investigation, the leak came from within his own foreign affairs server and not from the leadership server. In his final voice call with the bloc leadership before his disgraceful withdrawal from Mystery Inc., he accused all of his fellow leaders of being unwilling to defend Camelot while as a member of Mystery Inc. to which all bloc leaders vocally rejected as it goes against the very nature of the function of a bloc. It should also be known that, as of the posting of this announcement, GATO is not a voting member of this bloc, so it should be a relief to Epi to know we are following the treaty. In reference to the bloc representing Camelot in FA affairs, this bloc, like every bloc, has the right to conduct its own diplomacy with other blocs and alliances in its server. Camelot, like every alliance, has the right to have other embassies with other alliances outside of the bloc in its server. No discussion with CATA was had with the intent to “ruin” their relations with Camelot. Furthermore, his complaint to being forced to represent an opinion of the bloc that he does not share shows how he responds when the democratic system of the bloc doesn’t bend the knee to autocratic orders. It should also be known that Epi deleted all messages that he wrote within the MInc leadership server as well thereby obstructing Mystery Inc. in any investigation of this allegation. While there has been hostility between Mystery Inc. and Epi, we reaffirm that the problems we are addressing are towards Epi and not towards the current membership of Camelot at-large and wish them well. Signed, Mystery Inc. -- TLDR: Epi has misrepresented, over-exaggerated, and/or fabricated all allegations of the misconduct by Mystery Inc. and we call on him to deliver with his significant claims some significant evidence to back it up as it is currently just baseless slander from a man who cannot hold the confidence of his high gov or possess any trust in his high gov to serve the alliance loyally as they have shown through holding that honor of being in high gov. Further, Mystery Inc. only regards these complaints as applying to Epi and not towards the alliance at-large to which it continues to maintain goodwill towards.

Don't let any Knights Templar catch you on this religious crusade...else you might have a Christian civil war on your hands...

Well looks like this is going quite well for the society of the luna-tics...

For sure. Aurora and Borealis should disband.

Absolutely. It is a tough age for them as they are exploring and have big changes going on, so it is expected they may act out violently and irrationally as they explore the beginnings of joining the mature nation world.

Big talk for two city 12 nations. Mess with IRON or any of our protectorates. Let's see what happens.

The important question though is can we keep this streak up until end of NAP?

Happy Holidays!
