Long live the king. Long live TKR.

Having seen other game admins squander their opportunities it makes me happy to see you are committed to the community you've built. Features come and go, some changes will be well received, others not. Simply knowing that you are thinking ahead gives me and others confidence in the future of PW. Thank you for sharing this update.

Dear friends, allies, enemies, people that hate me, people that don't know me, everyone else. Greetings. I come before you, humbled at the opportunity I have had to lead The Knights Radiant. I have sincerely enjoyed my time at the helm, but as my predecessor said during my coronation, "the real-life monster comes for all of us." I should have known he was foreshadowing the end of my time as King. I have stood on the shoulders of the King's of old (Infinite Citadel and Lordship). It is time I become the shoulders from which the next generation of leaders will stand. Effective immediately, I am stepping down as King of TKR. (I'll still be around, just less official...) It gives me great pride to introduce the first Queen and fourth Monarch of The Knights Radiant, @Nizam Adrienne; First Priestess of Deus. I have had the fortune of spending most of my TKR career working side by side with Adrienne. From low gov, to high gov, and most recently, royalty. She has excelled in every role she has undertaken and I have nothing but confidence in her abilities as I step aside. I am excited to see what TKR will do under her leadership. Please join me in congratulating Adrienne. Long live the Queen! o7 Queen Adrienne o7 The Knights Radiant

I happen to know a thing or two about lurkers... Keno, specifically. I hear Kastor has a deal open to roll AO if you lose... Seems legit... You'll have to work out the $15M difference on your own though. A miracle. Sincerely, A Creepy Lurker PS Welcome to Orbis!

In case you haven't heard, The Knights Radiant has been on a quest. A quest to help bring a more interesting state of affairs to Orbis. The "politics" in Politics and War have become a stale rerun of bipolar arguments. The "war" in Politics and War has become completely absent for most. This isn't healthy for TKR, nor is it healthy for Orbis at large. As the #1 alliance in the game, we hold a certain responsibility to lead by example and work to bring about something new. As a result, we've been speaking with alliances all around this wonderful place to drum up support. Not for friends to become enemies. Not for enemies to become friends. But support for a cause bigger than individual alliances. Support for an Orbis with less paper, more political intrigue, and more small scale conflict. We have found that many alliances agree with this ideal. Some have taken it upon themselves to begin the process of evolving Orbis. We applaud the actions by R&R, Dark Brotherhood, Rise of the Undead Mob, Nuclear Knights, Seven Kingdoms, Knights Templar, and Rose in helping to facilitate this effort. We hold nothing but respect for those friends who have stood with us, fought in the trenches with us, and joined our causes. Friendships are not easily forged, nor are they easily forgotten, but in order to bring about the ideal Orbis we envision, tough decisions must be made. To that end, TKR has given notice of cancellation of our MDoAP to Guardian. This is TKR's oldest treaty, dating back more than 2 years and we sincerely thank them for standing by us. We've been through a lot together, more than could ever be stated here, but we look forward to what the future holds for us both. We find it necessary to address a growing narrative that has been floating around the OWF regarding whether or not our withdrawal and subsequent dissolution of the sphere is legitimate or whether it is simply a trap to lure unsuspecting alliances into an unfavorable situation. To that, we say this: the largest contributing factor to our decision is hope for a more interesting and politically fluid Orbis, both for our alliance and the community at large. We understand the role our alliance has played up in contributing to this situation but we also recognize that we are not alone in the actions that led us to this current political climate. Henceforth, we will not stand for any form of hegemonic gameplay nor will we stand by and allow anyone to take advantage of our commitment to change. We do not subscribe to the idea of "proving" our commitment to change by weakening ourselves with pointless wars with our former associates. Circumstances change and conflict may come naturally but we reject it being a prerequisite for anyone to consider these sequences of events legitimate. That being said, we encourage you to follow in our footsteps and join our movement. Seek out new relations, make your own sphere with like-minded alliances. If your ideas for change needs a bit of cred in order to get off the ground, shoot us a message and we'll see what we can do to help. Cultivating a more dynamic Orbis is our ultimate goal. It is our expectation that with these changes, TKR can be a part of pursuing an Orbis environment where war can more freely happen, where it isn't necessary to consolidate power, and where alliances are less constrained by the tangled web we've woven for ourselves. TKR is ready to welcome this new Orbis. We are willing to defend this ideal as far as is needed and hope to forge relationships with others who share this ideal. We know we cannot do this alone but are hopeful the collective actions taken thus far are the beginnings of better times.

Congratulations and welcome to existence.

Obligatory congrats and condolences.

Proof?

First Priest oh holy one. Thank you. You may have your half Devito back so you don't explode. Also, more stories.

Oh I see... You're just saying it's the "final" one to build suspense and interest but will continue writing stories afterwards anyway... I get it now... *nudge nudge* Bring on the story. goes about collecting his 10/10 Devitos

Tell me more about this "final story." I understand people don't want an end to the stories...

Maybe once we get that other half Devito we can talk.

RIP that 0.5 Danny...

Valid CB ^ TKR, let's roll...

I expect this to be played every time I enter Slack, AC...

I am proud to wear the crown. I recognize and respect those who came before. I look forward to the challenges the crown brings and the big shoes I must now fill. Lordship has a lot to be proud of. TKR has shown herself to be a formidable foe in all facets of Orbis. She has shown great friendship and loyalty to her allies. She has weathered the storms. Lordship, and Infinite Citadel (beware December 16, 2017) before him, have built a legacy I hope to carry on to drive TKR to new heights. To our friends: We continue to stand with you. To our foes: I look forward to the day when we can let go of the baggage of the past. To our members: I am committed to the success of each and every one of you. Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination. o7 King Lordship o7 TKR PS: The coup is complete.

And I want a pony.

Congrats and good luck.

Can treaties also show up on the alliance page and not just in the web?

What were you doing (or trying to do): Trying to remove an applicant. Removal process works just fine. What happened (describe thoroughly please): When removing an applicant via the Alliance Control Panel, the timestamp that shows in the alliance activity is "11/30 12:00 am". When removing an applicant via the Alliance Information page, the timestamp is the current date. The timestamp, whichever is applied, also appears in the nation activity. Accepting a member via the alliance control panel appears to show the correct timestamp. Link to page: Timestamp appears correct when removed from this page: https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=1584 Timestamp incorrect when applicant removed from this page: https://politicsandwar.com/alliance/id=1584&display=acp Applicants recently removed as seen in the screenshot below: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=77495, https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=75452, https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=77311, https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=77446 Screenshot: In the screenshot, the two removals at the bottom of the list were done via the alliance control panel. The others were done via the alliance information page. They were done seconds apart. I have seen the "11/30 12:00 am" timestamp before but never tested the various removal ways side-by-side until now. They always appear in the correct order in the alliance activity list and nation activity list, but the timestamp is not always accurate.
