  1. Only been here for a couple of years, but I'm happy to call it home.
  2. Well, first, I'd like to say how about we roll back this 'WAR' page change to the interface. As for these changes, why would you even consider them before the war is over? Why mess with a 'good' thing?
  3. How long until the rest of the alliances get drug into this fun/mess/war/game?
  4. "Ava, No!!!", screams Tig Tungsten as he struggles ferociously against his restrainers. “Let me go, you monsters! Let HER GO!” But his words fall helplessly to the floor as he is racked across the temple by an NPO foot soldier. He strains to see Ava for the last time before the darkness takes hold and he collapses into a heap on the floor of the dusty cabin. Tig slowly opens his eyes and sees the banner of the mighty NPO army. It mocks him on the wall, as he staggers to sit up and understand the atrocities that have befallen he and his kin. The banner is fastened perfectly level on the wall, with just enough give to wave proudly in his face. He looks around the cell that is now his home and feels like he has tumbled down a rabbit hole. His cell is no more than ten feet, due east and west, and ten feet from floor to ceiling. It appears to be freshly dug out of the earth, but where? As he begins to recover from the blow to his temple, he remembers AVA. The tears in her eyes and the look of pure terror as the soldiers took her away. The NPO soldiers came into his city of Martini like a thief comes in the night. Of course, they did not dare to enter Romulus or Remus, but instead to invade one of the out-lying cities like his. The cities were all repairing from the Surf's Up war and the complete devastation of those 32 nukes that had befallen SPQR's cities. The war had been won, but at what cost? He stands upright and begins to closely inspect his quarters. Upon closer inspection the walls are rough but somewhat smooth. Perhaps they had been dug by the new Plymouth 3000 digger? These massive tools have been used by the NPO armies to tunnel through the earth and spring up without a moments notice. First the planes hit the airfields, then the tanks roll in behind the Plymouth 3000. Then the ships ensure that no man, woman, or child can flee. It's almost as if the NPO would prefer to see every person killed than risk a guerilla war that could go on for years, if not decades. He feels his pockets and finds that he still has his wallet, with the SPQR logo stamped triumphantly on its outside: Tig can only assume they've no interest in his money, identity, nor his credit cards, or Stop and Shop card. He laughs to himself, recalling how 'important' these things seemed to everyday life. It's almost pathetic what trivial items we place the most importance on in our daily lives. The contents of this wallet are useless, but for one item: Ava's picture. He holds it in his dirty, blood soaked hands, and weeps. He weeps for AVA. He weeps for Martini. He weeps for the entire nation of SPQR. “Why, CTHULHU!?? Why have you forsaken us?!?” His screams draw a figure to the door that yells, “SHUT UP IN THERE, or I'll give you something to yell about!” One of the NPO guards pulls the door on the barred steel box insert in the door, peers in at Tig and asks, “You get me, maggot!?” Tig does not respond, but slowly slips down the wall of the cell and recollects the events of the last year... Guardian's campaign against the enemies of the state during the Surf's Up war were going great. The initial wave of attacks had all but crippled the enemies air forces. The Grumpy Old Bastards came in like Mjölnir and destroyed all who opposed them. KETOG accomplished every goal they had set forth, and continued to replenish the ranks as recruits flocked to every nation. Guardian had not to done the most damage, but a respectable amount considering their number of active nations. CTHULHU was an untested leader up to this point. Sure, he led SPQR into many campaign during Knightfall, but he was completely ineffective as a strategist. He lacked the empirical knowledge to even bring his NET damage even. Many wondered if he would be able to do as well in Surf's up, but he surprised them all with his ability to follow clear direction from the leadership. Memph, Vanek, and Rosey were instrumental in Guardian's success during this war. And CTHULHU listened. CTHULHU learned the ways of warfare. CTHULHU is a benevolent dictator. He asks for only one thing: UNITY. STRENGTH THROUGH UNITY was the key to SPQR's success. His exploits eventually won him the net damage title in the alliance. But the victory was beginning to sour. Their were rumors of a mighty army amassing in the NORTH. The nations fighting in the war were all extremely taxed and in such disrepair, you could barely even walk through the cities. Obviously the captial, Romulus, was rebuilt seemingly overnight. But the countryside was littered with military debris, corpses, and death and destruction was obvious everywhere. The people were united in their suffering, and began to pull themselves together to rebuild SPQR. Reconstruction was well underway, and the rumors gave way to reports of now another army gathering to wreak havoc with the first. The reports considered the armies of the NPO and the Black Knights to be the leaders of the new force building in the north. Their charisma and might began to attract more forces to their stronghold in the north. And the fear began to spread... It appeared that in the coming months, no one would be safe. We would all come out of our glorious victory, only to be crushed under the heel of a force that we could not yet comprehend. Tig recalls all of this like it were yesterday. He recalls this as he slumps to the floor of his cell, and weeps. “Ava. Oh, Ava, where have you been taken? Will I ever see you again.” And he weeps... And he weeps... __________________________________________________________________ PS. Open to any suggestions you may have.
