Hopefully there is a run-off vote so we can band together to stop the worst major war name from getting through. Brawlywood? Seriously?

Genuine question, what's the specific issue with Brawlywood? And which would you prefer over it?

Personally, I think it's a fine war name. <this other war 2: electric boogaloo> is always a lame option, imo - this one is unique and actually decent wordplay. As for "Whales I Smoke," I assume it's a reference I don't get?

Lucianus’ Era

One fall night, in the planet of Zakuul; the crowds of Rosian’s gathered about the capital's town square. It was declaration night in Rose, a new leader would be chosen as the once former Eternal Emperor Valkorion Baratheon had chosen to no longer run this election. Many candidates had chosen to run this opportunity, many not aware that the Valkorion era would be no more; the chance to win it all was for everyone to take. The battle for the chance to be leader was tough, the people noticing the moment ahead of them, a chance for a new leader, a new future, it was all left to the candidates. The votes were in, the counting was finished, now we awaited for the palace doors to open, the future leader walking out. 

 

The crowd silenced as the doors started to open, when they had reached past midway in opening, a man appeared to walk towards the podium, a lady following to his side. The crowd seemed to be fully silent, not wishing to utter a word as the new Emperor took the podium. 

 

“You all voted for this future, a future under I, a future that will bring Rose into a new era, one that continues to grow internally. All of you formerly knew me as the Horizon Guard of MA, but today you'll all know me as Emperor Lucianus. I want you all to know that from this day forward, I'll do it all in my power to make true to my promises, and do what's best for our alliance, and it's members.”

 

The crowd would not cheer, not because they didn't agree but weren't aware if the new found Emperor would enjoy such an act as he publicly addressed them.

 

“As you all know, the government has not changed much. Familiar faces will return, I have High Justice Vexz to my right, our long standing High Justice will continue her efforts as my 2ic, during my era. We also have Solomon - Horizon Guard of IA, Callisto - Horizon Guard of EA, Exalts - Horizon Guard of TA, Harry - Horizon Guard of FA, who will also all be returning to their High Gov occupations. As you all know, my former position would become vacant if I had not found a replacement,  but I'd like to introduce the newest addition to my cabinet, Potpie, who will be taking over my spot as Horizon Guard of MA.”

 

This fall night had shaped up to be as grand as we all thought it to be. A new Eternal Emperor had been elected, his era seemed primed for success, his self drive and commitment were only a glimpse to the many attributes he would bring with him in his run as our Emperor. He would bring change that the people of Rose had voted him in for, a change that he promised and showed would be better for Rose. A new future awaited Rose, a future with Emperor Lucianus at the helm. 

 

The New Rose Government:
Emperor: Lucianus
High Justice: Vexz

Horizon Guard of Foreign Affairs: Harry Flashman
Horizon Guard of Military Affairs: Potpie
Horizon Guard of Economic Affairs: Callisto
Horizon Guard of Technological Affairs: Exalts
Horizon Guard of Internal Affairs: Solomon Ben-David



Tl;dr: The Rose elections have finished, Lucianus has been made the new Emperor (leader)

lol look at this noob, only 17 forum posts

You'll do fantastic, Luci.  

As for God-Emperor Valk, I can't really put into words how much I appreciate all he's done for Rose (be back in three weeks when I finish writing that novel). Absolutely stunning leadership every step of the way. Enjoy the well deserved retirement! 🌹

It's also a game of relationship development and bond building and breaking. I have several people I've met through this game that are RL friends now...so what do ya know, it can work. I'm not doe eyed enough to think the internet is a great place, nor that everyone tells the truth. I do choose to spend my relationship capital intentionally, however, and when it gets thrown back in my face, that sucks. A lot.

Anyway, this thread has been good. I'm a fan.

hello Ben! I consider several people on the other side of this war genuine friends regardless of what happens in P&W (in fact, I seriously enjoy fighting my friends, I hope someday I'll be big enough to tangle with Beli 🙏). Speaking as an observer, considering the circumstances of HW and its formation, I think this war was a given eventuality. I am sorry that those investments didn't pay out quite as planned in terms of IC impact, but you seriously shouldn't be surprised. Actions have consequences, and I'm sure our action here will have its own. That's the nature of the game. I'm incredibly confused by the expectation of "transparency," here, to be honest. In the immortal words of Sweeeeet Ronny D,

For the record, the game isn't called War and War, its called Politics and War.  You use politics to help you win wars...

Except in this case, re: deescalation attempts, I suppose we're looking to axe the War part as well. Welcome to "&." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess that'd be a cultural victory for you, @Kiloist II @HannaH

Hey, I didn't say you were friends. I said 'manipulate.' 

A bit of a subtle difference there 🤣

IMO, sometimes it really is just so simple as "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." You should be proud of yourselves for creating common ground between us, that's not an insignificant accomplishment!

The reason we are in here arguing with you and not with Rose, is because rose doesn't engage in the forums which is no fun.. 

Fear not, I'm here now reporting in from the front lines!

Respect to Rose over this one. Takes some serious FA skill to manipulate a whole other bloc into enacting your own revenge.

syndi spending all those months crying about rose's secret treaties with the rest of the game against quack

and then proceeded to sign a secret treaty against hollywood

 

congrats you spineless f**ks, you've proved to the entire game that you're somehow worse than every other sphere 

at least others are somewhat willing to stick to a narrative

Can confirm that things have really been blossoming between tS and Rose ever since we signed our blood pact! Truly the past year of consistently taking a fat shit on Rose at nearly every public opportunity was just a front, all along. I'm simply happy that the veil is finally lifted and I can proudly fight side-by-side with my dear friend, ally, and confirmed Rose-sympathizer, Leopold. 😌
