Erm!

To whom it may concern, The Fighting Pacifists declare neutrality in the Carthago-House Stark conflict. This issue is firmly between Carthago and House Stark. We condemn the involvement of third parties. We were not approached by either side for mediation of the issue, however we will continue to offer our role as an impartial negotiator. We do not support the war, and we hope for a quick and diplomatic resolution. Signed, Shwin, Shark Jonny, Defender of Peace

Man, Midgard is BACK!

Congrats guys!

In an ever-chaotic political atmosphere, the Fighting Pacifists seek to maintain security. After a successfully-carried out peacekeeping operation into Midgard, the Legion of Dawn, now free of tyranny, sought to join its cause, seeking refuge in the noble cause that is pacifism. I. Peace 1. White Peace beginning 2:00 UTC, May 15 between The Fighting Pacifists and Legion of Dawn. 2. The Fighting Pacifists and Legion of Dawn will reset their relationship, and agree to mutual protection in the spirit of future cooperation under the following terms. II. Temporary Treaty 1. Mutual Defense - Both parties are obligated to come to the defense of the other should they be attacked.

 2. Optional Aggression - Either signatory may opt to cooperate in the other’s offensive wars, should they so choose. 

3. Non-Aggression and Conduct - Both signatories are obligated to work in each other's best interest and not conduct nor endorse action against the other.

 4. Sovereignty - Both signatories acknowledge and agree to protect the other's sovereignty and exclude themselves from the other's internal affairs. 

 5. Intelligence - Both signatories recognize the role of intelligence in each's security and agree to share information without hesitance or alteration in the spirit of mutual defense.

 6. Non-Chaining - In the event a signatory is obligated to defend a third party, Article I is waived. 

7. Cancellation and Timeline - Both signatories are free to cancel this treaty at any time, but must provide a 72-hour notice. Upon signed peace between Fortuna and Anti-Fortuna coalitions, 72-hours cancellation notice will be automatically given. Tl;dr: The Fighting Pacifists and Legion of Dawn have reached peace and have signed a temporary treaty. /s/ TFP /s/ LoD

My fellow peacekeepers! It appears that we have a new assignment! A backwards confederacy of states calling themselves Midgard has instigated a civil war amongst itself. A most interesting strategy indeed. In the midst of of this violent unrest, those who had caused the violence could think of just one solution to save their pixels—vacation! And only then, once off to Florida, did these cowards finally acknowledge their state of war with Aurora and its coalition. As pacifists, we hate to see more conflict. This coalition of states is in shambles again. These frightened tyrants deserve no resort vacation. With our brothers in Carthage, it is our duty to restore peace! The Fighting Pacifists declare a special peacekeeping operation into Midgard.

Tl;dr: Big, hungry, sharkman Shwin has developed an appetite for t$ and Eclipse whales and has declared a special peacekeeping operation into Fortuna.

The Dead Rabbits, Camelot, and The Fighting Pacifists mutually announce the Odd Bunch has been dissolved. The Underground Pact has been fully voided and appropriate notice has been given and elapsed with all parties.

Shwin’s phone alarm blared. His eyelids shot open. Tired murmurs of the rest of the Odd Bunch filled the dark underground. He turned out of his bed and routinely stared blankly at the wall for thirty seconds before actually going about his business. Meanwhile, Epi and Jax rubbed away sleep from their eyes and congratulated him. Cigar remains and the scent of wine they couldn’t afford lingered from the previous night. A predecessor to the celebration filled day ahead. It was his birthday! Eight years old! Few others could say that. In Orbis, many came and went, never doing much of anything. But he had seen it all. Harsh occupiers, both sides of a seemingly eternal struggle, victory in globals, losses in others. He had been continuously downplayed, constantly enduring those who prayed on his downfall. His philosophy stood the test of time and proved wrong those who doubted it. Because while they fall, he became more prosperous than ever. An elephant from the Carthago Communist Party, a potion fresh from the cauldron thanks to the Coven, old protection treaty shreds from Arrgh, mouse usage tutorials from the Immortals, and old completion of training certificates from Rose! And on top of all that, a cake of pixels from the HoF. His favorite! He blew out his eight candles and made a wish. -- We’d like to thank everyone that has ever been a part of TFP and for making us the alliance we are today. Thanks to all of our friends and allies for helping us all the way, and thanks to all of our enemies for letting us showcase our max navals. Here’s to another 8 years of pixel hugging and pacifism! Best, The Fighting Pacifists

And so this is Christmas (War is over) And what have we done? (If you want it) Another year over (War is over) And a new one just begun (Now) -- After six weeks of conflict, the leadership of Arrgh and the leadership of TFP have agreed to cease hostilities in time for the holiday season. Peace Terms 1.) White peace, with no new wars declared following day change of Saturday, December 17 (0:00 UTC, 12/17/22). All remaining wars may be peaced, expired, or fought until conclusion. 2.) TFP pays Arrgh 4B as an early Christmas gift. 3.) Arrgh government members agree to not raid TFAP members for two months, and House Stark/Dead Rabbits/LATAM members for one month; Arrgh captains agree to not raid TFAP members for two weeks. 4.) TFP and Arrgh apologize to each other for events preceding the war and agree to work towards having a better working relationship in the future. 5.) The war will be given the neutral title “Pirates vs. Pacifists”. Shoutout to VGM and RON for the teaser. tl;dr: the TFP-Arrgh conflict has concluded with White Peace Signed for The Fighting Pacifists Shwin, Head Facilitator Erik, Facilitator Aligned, Facilitator Jonnyboi, Defender of Peace Kieran, Defender of Unity Signed for Arrgh Sam Cooper, Grand Admiral Hatebi, Admiral Doom, Admiral Vicic, Admiral Underlord, Admiral Zim, Admiral Bluebear, Admiral

Yep. We did do it as a joke. You are cherry-picking, taking it out of context. Cope harder I guess.

We do a bit of trolling. ‘Twas a joke. Seriously though, we have come out multiple times acknowledging that we were not the reason for Ripper’s deletion. You love to cherry pick.

We said this in the post, but alright.

Down in the Underground, Shwin sat silently, scrolling through his phone. He had awoken before everyone else. He quite liked the peace and quiet. His solitude was however quickly interrupted by three loud claps of metal at the door above him. He rolled off the couch he had fallen asleep on the night before, and creeped his way up the stairs. He twisted the handle, and creaked the door open. He was confronted with an angry, peg-legged, eyepatch-wearing, hook-for-hand, scruffy old man, who went by Sam. In the distance, he spotted a small ship, adorned with a Jolly Rodger, quartering a crew of pirates. He recognized the group instantly- Arrgh! How could he ever forget. However, he became slightly disappointed, as the Arrgh he remembered seemed grandiose in comparison. Apparently, this group of swashbuckling fellows was quite salty about the disappearance of a certain infamous, legendary scallywag named Ripper, who so tragically escaped to Davy Jones’ Locker. He was last seen at the hands of a trio of pacifists, pockets full of doubloons, although it was speculated he went off in search of grass to touch. Shwin couldn’t have killed him- he was a “pacifist”, after all! He laughed in the man’s face at the implausible thought, and even played along a bit. Sam wasn’t too pleased. He became even more red in the face, and unintelligibly jabbered pirate nonsense, waddling back to his ship, with the promise to return. Shwin was a chill guy- he preferred to be lighthearted when he could. However, Shwin became so amused at the scurvy-ridden, booty-plundering crew who so rudely confronted him, he was left with no choice in his mind. He called up his fellow landlubber pacifists, who were eager to pillage such bilge-rats. At once, they embarked out to open waters, set on freeing the seven seas of the black flag. -- I’m sure Ripper would have found the irony in his deletion coming against a TFP counter. We have never claimed, and do not claim, we were the reason for his deletion. We respect what Ripper has done for the game, and do not celebrate his exit. That being said, take that stick out of your ass. We maybe could help. tl;dr: The Fighting Pacifists declares war on Arrgh Signed for The Fighting Pacifists, Shwin, Head Facilitator Erik, Facilitator Aligned, Facilitator Jonnyboi, Defender of Peace Kieran, Defender of Unity

-- Preamble Some must go their own way. While many are corrupt and seek only material gain, some have found they prefer to chill in their underground. They avoid the other corruptions of the world. They seek peace and cooperation. They seek bilateral and outside friendships. They seek a new way forward. The Odd Bunch comes together in the spirit of this camaraderie and these principles for protection in a strange world. [I] Sovereignty The signatories recognize the pre-eminence of their respective sovereignties. They can conduct themselves as they want and sign treaties as they wish. However, they are not to meddle in one another's internal affairs or ally those that would seek to do so. [II] Peace The signatories agree to refrain from any act of aggression towards one another and agree to keep the Underground Clean and free of too much AI clutter. The hosting of events and parties is strongly encouraged amongst the odd bunch in the spirit of peace. [III] Intelligence The signatories agree to share any pertinent intelligence. Intelligence that threatens the security, well-being, or reputation of any signatory is pertinent. [IV] Aid The signatories are encouraged to seek mutually beneficial economic relations with one another and to facilitate trading between all signatories. [V] Defense An act of war upon one signatory is considered an act of war on all signatories. All signatories are obligated and happily pledge their fortunes, efforts, and futures to the protection of one another. [VI] Aggression Founded in the spirit of independence and protection, The Odd Bunch, seek complete unity on matters of Aggression from the signatories. In the event a member initiates an aggressive war without the unanimous consent of all signatories, no signatory is obligated to support or join in the aggressive war. [VII] Admittance and Removal For a member alliance to be removed from the pact without their consent a unanimous vote is required of all other signatories. The addition of a member to The Odd Bunch requires a unanimous vote from all signatories. [VIII] Cancellation If any signatory feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and resulting diplomatic negotiations have not offered an acceptable resolution, notification of withdrawal must be given to the remaining signatory within seventy-two hours. Should this treaty be voided, a forty-eight-hour cool-down period begins in which no alliance may declare war on any of the other signatories. tl;dr: Camelot, The Fighting Pacifists, and The Dead Rabbits form The Odd Bunch Signed for The Fighting Pacifists Shwin, Head Facilitator Erik, Facilitator Aligned, Facilitator Jonnyboi, Defender of Peace Kieran, Defender of Unity Signed for The Dead Rabbits Jax Teller, Boss Aggeremid, Underboss Dark Mulligan, Underboss Jonasz, Clan Chief of Foreign Affairs Tactical Eclipse, Bosun MrGross, Bosun William Carter, Bosun Alexandr Arnason, Bosun Signed for Camelot Epimetheus, Hello Again!

The sun had begun to set. Shwin had been driving for a while now. He was enjoying his newfound freedom. He was tired and unsure of where exactly he was. He decided to pull into the nearest bar, and walk in. He wanted to celebrate. He called the bartender over and ordered a Moscow Mule. He thanked the bartender and took a sip. The man next to him looked over. “Seriously? A Moscow Mule?” Shwin looked at the man without a word and took another sip. The man was wearing leather armor and a fur cape. “Must not be from around here. Dark beer from Winterfell is far superior. Try some.” Shwin, still confused, took the horn of beer from the man, again without a word. “Good?” Shwin nodded in affirmation. Needless to say, they ordered a few more. Perhaps a bit too much. After a long night of karaoke, small talk, and drinking, they got kicked out for starting a fight with another bar-goer for insulting their joint butchering of “I Want it That Way”. Stumbling out, Shwin realized he hadn’t gotten the man’s name. “I’m Ataxia, King in the North. We should do this more often.” Ataxia mounted his horse, and prepared one for Shwin. Together, they rode back to Winterfell for a feast. -- [I] Mutual Defense Both parties are obligated to come to the defense of the other should they be attacked.

Shwin sat at his desk for a moment, gathering confidence. He had made up his mind. He slowly walked downstairs into the living room. He locked eyes with his partner for a final time as he approached. He softly whispered, "It's not you. It's me", as he handed TE divorce papers. Shwin made his way out the front door, and drove away. His convertible roof down, sun shining, he was excited for whatever lay ahead. tl;dr: TFP has officially submitted its 72-hour notice to the Johnsons. We thank The Elites for their partnership and wish them the best. They will be retaining the "Johnsons" sphere name.
