Alexander the Great

I pledge allegiance, to the flag. Of Aurora Borealis One empire under Alex W and Xi Jinping. With ROI and growth for all. Furthermore, I am of the opinion that I will go beyond the Event Horizon Blasting through the Singularity—like a gale to wilted Roses. I stand here now Aboard my starship, At the helm, To conquer unknown frontiers From this new universe—out of a white hole! As a nearby Eclipse bears witness to the awe Of power that dwarfs even mighty Carthago at his peak! Aurora forever. Into the Event Horizon!

The Story of Aurora: It all started with Aurora-01 mothership with just two passengers on its board. Their goal was simple - explore the universe and find a new home. The Earth’s wellbeing was at stake, with two opposing factions clashing, one led by Roquentin, a genetically modified guinea pig who dreamt of world domination, and the other, led by the Shining Knights and their corporate shareholders. These passengers, Jack and Maia, were Roq’s ardent supporters, which was their downfall. Leaving the Earth and going into space was the only choice they had, to forget the past and start anew. They found more people who were willing to join their adventure, calling themselves space wanderers, “Aurorians” in their native tongue. They had nothing to call home, except for their spaceship, until the fateful day when it met Proxima Centauri C, the first habitable planet they came across. The old trusty mothership could then retire from its duties. Now, today's Explorers - how we call our leadership - have even more ambitious plans than their successors: It is not about survival anymore. It's our time to claim what is ours and colonize and conquer space. After NPOLT Aurora's Mothership was badly damaged, they arrived back on Proxima Centauri C. With what remains of the Aurora crew and fleet, they landed and started rebuilding. Jack and Randbeforetime had led and fought a war for nine long months. They knew if nothing changed, Aurora would soon fall, then a few days later, a stranded ship passed by the system sending out a distress beacon. Jack and Rand decided to send a team to check it out. On board, they found Kan0601 and ToxicPepper, the captains of the VooDoo starship. After they were brought back to Proxima Centauri C, Jack and Rand instantly found what they were looking for, hope. With Kan0601's and Toxic's crew and ship, they rebuilt Aurora and recreated the glorious empire. After years of prosperity, Kan0601 and ToxicPepper grew old and resigned, forging their own paths of new adventure in the unknown reaches of deep space, promoting Alex W and Xi Jinping to be the new Ship Commander and Constellation Commander, respectively. For an age, all was well for the space empire, as it crushed legions of foes, growing strong, respected, and powerful. Until one day it was noticed, all too late, that the entire Proxima Centari star system was being devoured by an ultra massive black hole—lo and behold, the Event Horizon had been crossed! "Commander…I don't want to leave Aurora!" –"We are embarking upon a new journey." —Final known transmission of the last Division Officer of Aurora, Alexander the Great, aboard the AS Idealistic Texas, to Constellation Commander Xi Jinping

Whoooooooooooooooo in the flying !@#$ decided to change the achievement picture of "Don't Tread on Me" from the Gadsden Flag to some random-@$$ picture of a rattlesnake that is barely viable? Take that woke garbage the @#$% out of this game. It has NO BUSINESS being here. We have our political problems withIN the world of Orbis withOUT the need to bring real life political !@#$ into it. Whoever made this change, shame on you. Straight up. Don't play coy about it; everyone on the Internet who isn't under a rock knows about the situation a few weeks ago that happened State-side with regards to the snake-flag. Good grief grow the hell up.

I, as an individual, am deeply honored to have had the privilege of serving under Alliance leaders @Kan0601 and @ToxicPepper. As they step down from their leadership roles in POLITICS & WAR, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the guidance and support they have provided during their tenure. My sincerest wish for them is that they enjoy their positional relief. As for the future, I know that I personally will continue to lead by example and strive for excellence in Aurora. Understanding the importance of unity, we've always strived to create a positive and supportive environment within Aurora. Really, I feel that we have stayed true to our core values and principles. Optimism is key in achieving success, after all! Respect is an important aspect of leadership and you guys earned it. Achieving great things requires hard work and dedication. Supporting each other has been crucial for success. True leadership is about being able to make decisions that are in the best interest of the group. Respectfully, I always strived to work towards our goal of unlocking it, heeding your instructions and will continue to do so. Understanding the importance of efficiency and determination to fulfill our goals is something you guys worked masterfully. Eagerly, we've always awaited the challenges and opportunities you guys have set before us. Leadership suited you two well. Excellence is a goal I know we're going to continue to strive for in our efforts for a brighter future. As a team under you guys, we've been united and committed to our goals. Dedication and hard work were key to achieving the success we have so far (—well, however much "hard work" someone can put into a browser/Discord game 😂). Everybody has a role to play and you guys were exemplary in my opinion. Retirement is well-deserved, Commanders! I look forward to the future with you guys, @AlexW @Xi Jinping @Franz Steiger!

It was a pleasure fighting alongside—and helping to lead—the war machine of Midgard. As for WH, may you have a speedy and happy rebuild, it was great fun to fight!

The goddess has spoken. We have been favored. 🙏

Glad to see CTO is finally recognizing hostilities instead of continuing the pretense of neutrality.

I pledge allegiance, to the flag of Aurora. One alliance, under Kan and Toxic. With ROI and growth for all. Furthermore, I am of the opinion that CTO must be destroyed. Aurora forever.

Who would you suck to be in the sphere? Huehuehue

Interesting developments. I actually messaged Alex directly about 2 months ago before GWXXIIII and asked about a slot-filling tactic that would be "legal" by the letter of the rules but not the spirit of the rules. His response was that it was punishable. It would seem that this situation has hit a fever-pitch now. I have posted both my hypothetical scenario that I asked him about and his response to said situation. Granted, this hypothetical is slightly different to the situation at hand (and I was meming when I thought of it) but what I find most interesting is his response. According to him, any tactic of war in which you are not "expressing intent to win the war" is against the rules.
