  1. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As civil unrest mounts in the BLACK KNIGHTS capital of Yosograd, ayyliens living across alliance controlled territories received the following television broadcast to interrupt their 48 continuous hours of Swan Lake: The static clears to reveal a single white-black figure. A stark Antarctic sun cuts harsh shadows across the new snow. The television set picks up the sound signal... ...the nations of the world say that the WAP should lay down our arms, beat our swords into plowshares, so that we may establish a lasting peace forged through wisdom and mutual understanding and ... No, the hypocrites cry for peace while fattening on their hoards of treasure won through the bloodshed of nations! They say we are past that barbarous era where man was a dog to man, bird a beast to bird. What do these birds of paradise who have only seen temperate summer know of the nature of the world? Last year in the Queen Maud colony alone, fifty little pingus, barely old enough to noot, were cut down by Winter’s cruel sword. The average air temperature in the Antarctic wastes is seventy below zero. Do you know what happens to the body when exposed to -70° air? At 15 minutes exposure, heat leaves the extremities. The flesh turns soft; it loses the ability to retain water and blisters. After 30 minutes, it begins to slough off in clumps like peeling the skin off a rotten fruit. After an hour, the tissue hardens and turns black——destruction of the nerves, total loss of motor function. But the body is clever. The body will pay any price to persist just one more second! The blood vessels constrict. Blood flow is cut off to the affected areas. They shrivel and die and fall off. With this sacrifice, heat is conserved. Society, too, is a body. The world body is afflicted by an insidious disease, a mass sickness of the soul. There are those elements, the pixelhuggers, the dogpilers, which in the interest of the body's health must be cut off and cast out. Those in the 'moral' nations are quick to criticize us. I ask you: when a patient goes under the surgeon's knife, should we consult the necrosed tissue on whether it should be excised? Likewise do we entertain the poison words of the world body's plaguespreaders and fifth columnists? They say that meekness is a virtue, that power is a vice. That disarmament is the only way to ensure a lasting peace. If only we signed more treaties of friendship, held more international talks, we may forever banish the scourge of war. And what of this belief that speeches and demonstrations and will move hearts and minds? It was Newton who taught that change can be affected only through action, movement impacted by force alone. The speaker pulls out a rifle cartridge from his bandolier and holds it up to the audience. What truly moves hearts and minds is this. Words propagate in atmosphere at just over a thousand feet per second. But this round fired from a Kalashnikov? A grand movement of 2350 feet per second! And so we will bring you death, and you will love us for it.

  2. Ayy lmao! t$ will burn! *checks notes tCW will burn!
  3. HOW HARD IS IT TO CENTER THE fricking FLAG GODDAMMIT
  4. I'd have to disagree. 'Cannon-fodder' implies that the individual in question is expendable, to be cast aside without question. Cannon are indeed powerful, yet the term 'cannon-fodder' itself is the most denigrating description that could applied to a combatant. Fodder is cheap animal feed—the type of two-bit mass-produced slop deemed unfit for human consumption, if there ever were such a thing. And as a hog devours the grain from its trough, so too are you swallowed and ground up and thoroughly digested by the insatiable furnace of war. The gasoline for an airstrike and you are one and the same. On the other hand, being a 'meat-shield' is a much more dignified existence. It suggests the ultimate sacrifice and purpose—that one is willing to give everything, self destruction notwithstanding, in order to defend an ally. Indeed, we must all strive to be meatshields on this glorious day. Ave Pacifica!
  5. I'll just quote the game, "Tanks are ground battle enhancers. They dramatically increase the effectiveness of your ground army." Tanks are in a good place as is. Unlike with soldiers and planes, you must assess your situation to determine whether it is appropriate to build tanks or not. One of the major complaints with baseball is its mindless ‘clicker game’ nature, so I take more thinking between clicks to be a good thing. And both sides in the current war have deemed tanks to be valuable despite all their downsides. Tanks are a situational unit. If you build tanks while your opponent has air control, you rightly deserve to suffer. The concern over updeclares is certainly well founded. As the game stands, they are only possible because planes are fast to destroy and slow to build. Once prospective harpooners have to win an uphill battle on the ground as well as in the air, it becomes nearly impossible to effectively bring down a larger nation than your own.
  6. IQ only declares war for the noblest of causes, my friend.
  7. Perfidious Ayylbion does it again!
  8. You can’t, hence why you didn’t. You didn’t and so N$O didn’t have the opportunity to play Captain Ahab. It might come as a shock, but nobody is asking you to defend your e-reputation. It’s no more an indictment against your alliance than saying that BK has more members than SK. Anytime
  9. The only mental gymnastics here is interpreting "the war stats should not be taken at face value" as "the war we are fighting now is the same war as Surf's Up." Granted, there hasn't been any excessive fellating over the war stats, but Elijah's statement is an entirely fair one to make. War performance notwithstanding, it would be disingenuous to insist that BK + TC has the same potential to deal damage to KERTOG/Chaos as vice versa. Any CB is a valid CB, my friend
  10. Yakuza was the Principality of Zeon in the past. Don’t know why they bothered to rebrand if they decided to keep the weeb theme anyways... They fought in the Ayyslamic Crusade on KT’s side, so it isn’t fair to say that they have been neglecting their treaties or dodging wars their entire existence either ?
  11. Would be a nice QoL addition, and not much clutter added. Also saves Sheepy's servers a few page loads.
