This one was actually suggested by the losing side 😉 Generally I think it's easier to just have the involved parties agree on a war name hence why I wanted it included. Especially since Rush no longer wants to hold community votes so there's no clear process for naming wars otherwise.

We did suggest "Half-Year Half-Time", but it didn't make the cut 😞

GG, see you in 6 months :serious:

Unfortunately, I cannot directly access the content from external links such as those you've provided from the "Politics and War" forum. However, if you can provide a brief summary or key points from each declaration, I can certainly help you craft a Recognition of Hostilities in response!

Congrats on the new treaty! But as a lawyer I must object to these terms. If more and more people start embracing brevity, I'll be out of business!

It has been a pleasure working with you all over the past year. You have proven yourselves as capable fighters and an overall great group of people. You've more than earned this upgrade, and I look forward to our continued partnership. Congratulations on completing your first year in PnW, and here's to many more!

Really enjoyed working with y'all (except @Allend Goodblood of course). Glad we could renew our bonds of friendship with this tie, all while ensuring we didn't prolong it to the detriment of the game's health. To paraphrase the great Barney Stinson, "This isn't a failed marriage, it's very successful marriage that only lasted 5 weeks."

Enjoy retirement, friend. It's been a pleasure working with you. And congrats @Galerion!

Concluding a well-fought and hotly contested war, the conflict between Florida and ODOO and its coalitions partners has come to an end, with the two coalitions having agreed on the following terms: Florida admits defeat and surrenders to ODOO and its coalition partners; The participants of each coalition agree to a non-aggression pact with the participants of the other coalition, such pact ending at day change from January 2 to January 3, 2024; The official name of this war will be: Dodge This; DtC Justice shall have no more than 4 spies for the next 60 days; Ockey7 will be tasked with ensuring that DtC Justice has no more than 4 spies. Should Ockey7 fail to fulfill those duties, any Ockey shall be required to fulfill them without retribution. As peace has been reached, both coalitions agree that no new wars will be declared after the day change following this announcement. Wars declared prior to day change can be fought to completion, expired or peaced at the involved nations’ discretion. The following alliances will be included in the non-aggression pact: Signatures

Holy mother of run-on sentences. That's an entire high school dissertation length without a full stop.

Looks like someone beat you to it...

Here at ODOO headquarters, we often find ourselves wrestling with some of life's greatest mysteries. Can you dodge a wrench? Should balls be dodged? During our latest brainstorming session, and after a few drinks, the next great question of our generation has been asked: can a Rose dodge a ball? We went back and forth in the meeting room, and our thoughts were inconclusive. Suddenly, @Kiloist II had a drunken Bill Nye moment and shouted out... "SCIENCE RULES!" And so we've decided to put this great question of our generation to the test... Hey Rose.... DODGE THIS -------------------- TL;DR ODOO declares war on Rose and friends for the following reasons: Rose attempting to frame us for the coalition against Fortuna; Rose attempting to pay people to join a coalition against us; and general backroom dealings.

SRD advocating for alliance taxes? Never thought I'd see the day...

Look at you assuming I have 450m to spare when I just sent TKR's entire life savings to @Lysander

Congratulations on retirement! It's been a pleasure working with y'all these past few years, and I applaud you all for leaving NW in such capable hands. Looking forward to seeing what this new team will accomplish!

I'm refering only to in-game rankings. If you prefer we consider total score with all extensions, then I'll note Eclipse is still #2 and have to post up another ad. Would be such a hassle...

What can I say? I'm a sl*t for free credits 😉 In fairness to Pre though, he actually had to develop something new.

I want to make a public statement formally accepting Singularity’s heartfelt apology. When we saw the messages asking questions about the ad and complaining that Singularity hadn’t yet had time to complete their merger, and the memes putting words we never said into our mouths, we didn’t realize that was your idea of playfulness. We accept and appreciate the apology but knowing what we do now regarding your intent, we are disinclined to acquiesce to your retraction of your responses. It's not necessary. We happily accept the reparation of 1 credit, and as our own apology for misunderstanding your intent, we have taken out the following in-game ad.

I'll take things we never said for 100, Alex. Since we're on subject though, I'm sure @Presidential will be honoured by your equating our tie with Grumpy to your ties to Rose, Eclipse, Guardian, and KT. I'm deeply moved that our little ad has triggered such a call out. I didn't expect an alliance led by all of y'all to be so very sensitive to a little playful banter. We're honoured and amused by the response though. As I stated above, I do think this merger makes sense from a culture point of view, and I'm looking forward to seeing what y'all do going forward.

I wonder how on Earth you didn't understand my meme was a response to this very meme of yours, when you even reference this meme in your DoE...

Congratulations on the merge! It seems like a good culture fit so I can't wait to see what y'all manage to accomplish when you decide to chart your own path. In the meantime, ftfy

Enjoy retirement! You've certainly earned it!

You really don't know me all that well if you think I don't know who John Boehner is...

Dear Orbis friends, foes, and everything in between, I've gathered you all here for a very important announcement: The Knights Radiant turn 8 today!! 🥳 Exactly one year ago, my predecessor, the great @Wizel16, Shard of Valor, kicked off our birthday celebrations by proclaiming on this very forum that seven was a lucky number. And then we promptly proceeded to lose $225b worth of infra over the following 6 months 💀. Needless to say, I hope eight is a luckier number. All kidding aside, we've had a pretty busy year and we're proud of what we've managed to overcome and accomplish. It has been a year almost to the day since Wizel appointed me Prince of the Heralds (2ic) and almost 6 months to the day since I successfully coup'd him to become King of the Heralds. It is a real privilege for me to lead such an awesome community as TKR. I've had an absolute blast with these friends during my two years in PnW, and I thank each and every one of them for making the alliance what it is today. TKR has had its ups and downs over the years, but never has it lost sight of the primary reason we play this weird game: to have fun. Speaking of fun, please join us in our Discord to celebrate. We always love to chat with friends old and new, and we'll be hosting a few public events over the next week to mark the occasion. I'm excited to see what the future holds for TKR, and I am incredibly fortunate to be at the alliance's helm along with @Kyubnyan, @BigMorf, @Schirminator and @Steven Hoffmann as we embark upon this 9th year of our existence. Happy Birthday TKR! Canbec King of the Heralds, Seventh Monarch of The Knights Radiant and First Priest of Deus ---------- P.S. I have to uphold the tradition of absolute banger birthday songs:
