Perhaps strange women lying in ponds, distributing swords is a basis for a system of government after all.

We have had a wonderful time burning pixels and fighting Camelot, but like with all good things, it is time for this war to come to an end. And with that, we are turning a page and mutually putting an end to all our Casus Belli gathered over time up to this point, along with Nexus’ and The Syndicate’s view that Camelot had remained unpunished for their actions prior, during and after their affiliation with IQ-sphere. That being the case, it is our belief that any Alliance or individual who hits Camelot for these reasons are merely taking advantage of a sovereign alliance and treading the line between normalcy and what IQ/Opus Dei attempted to do by driving players away from the game. We are dusting ourselves off, shaking hands and parting ways with the following terms between us: Terms List of Alliances covered in the NAP Signatories TL;DR

What other ex-Camelot/IQ members would you like us to look into? A significant portion of the people who are currently in Camelot are former members of disbanded IQ alliances, which is how you rose up from your previous state as an alliance so quickly (GotG and Superchola X namely). We can easily spot these based on the graphics or words they put on their Nation Flags and descriptions. You and other Camelot members are more than welcome to reach out to us on Discord or in-game about your innocence or show evidence of the contrary here, though. While they may be oblivious, innocent or even opposed to the agenda mentioned, we have not seen any evidence of this. That being the case, we can only assume they are either complicit or that Camelot adopts a model of alliance in which misinformation and false narratives are spread at the membership level and they follow along, similarly to how former IQ alliances did it. The leadership of the NPO was notorious for doing that. An example of how that may be what's going on, is the recent narrative we've heard from Epimetheus, where our objective in this war is to cause Camelot to disband rather than hold your leadership accountable for its actions. Again, this is completely false as shown by Sval shooting that idea down when Indger brought it up, doing so would be acting against our history. This kind of false narrative echoes how former Emperor of the NPO, Ivan Moldavi, would gaslight his membership to continue a war effort for his personal agenda.

What opportunities have we had during that time? Please do tell.

Calling it that would be incredibly simplistic and disingenuous to our point here. Our CB is Camelot's involvement with IQ in NPOLT, during and after which Epimetheus and other government members endorsed their behavior, spread false narratives, were politically hostile and frankly, outright shitty to us - right down to the peace talks. Up until now, they'd consistently dodged the consequences of their actions, be it by sheer luck or competently signing anyone willing to take them in, despite their past. To his credit, Arthur offered an apology back in the day, in which he addressed many of these issues on behalf of Camelot, claiming they had changed. This was received by us (OWR & CTO) along with many in the community with a fair amount of skepticism, considering several of the gov members were still in the alliance, publicly defending IQ (Epi in particular) and continuing to push their party lines and agenda, which the post apologizes for (the title "Moving Forward" is ironic in that sense). Contrary to what they seem to believe, we are adamantly against the idea of causing Camelot to disband or imposing terms which would lead to that. That would be one of the objectives of the agenda which caused us to switch sides during NPOLT. Once this war is done, we'll consider our grievances as settled and will move forward, hoping they take this to heart and do better.

The time of reckoning is finally nigh after several years of misdeeds. Demonstrating to Orbis throughout the years what has come to typify their actions while escaping without any form of reprieval, Camelot has bungled and staggered through the last month. That said, everything, inevitably, comes full circle - thus the time has come for justice to be brought down upon them and settle these old debts, so that we may move towards the future. For those who departed before the ship began sinking in earnest, we offer our most sincere congratulations. For those who remain, know that we hold no ill towards you, but towards your government and the numerous situations in which they have wronged us. Epimetheus is no King, Queen, Empress or Emperor and is to blame for this. Ask yourselves if he is truly the kind of leader you would like to follow. TLDR; Nexus declares war on Camelot.

From the onset of this war, our goal has been to deal with a common looming threat and not to exact a vengeful price on those on the periphery. Black Skies have demonstrated that they do not wish to participate in the ongoing conflict and that they are not a threat to our coalition. Towards that end, we have agreed to peace terms, which are as follow: 1.) Black Skies agrees to return and remain in their peacetime standard of military readiness, agreed to as 3/0/5/1. 2.) Black Skies agrees to not launch wars against members of Coalition A (including all members of Blackwater and Rosesphere and associates), and agrees to refrain from providing aid to any member of Hollywood, through any means. 3.) No new wars will be declared between the two sides, but all existing wars are allowed to either run their course or be peaced out. ---- Signed for the Black Skies, Alan, Commander BigBoom, Quartermaster Signed for Carthago, Daveth - Suffet Krampus, Asierith and Gallant - Elder Signed for The Legion, Totem, Imperator Istandor, Proconsul David Ben-Gurion, Consul of Foreign Affairs Kiwilliam, Consul of Internal Affairs Michael Lybrand, Consul of Military Affairs Signed for Church of Atom, His Holiness, Pontifex Atomicus - James II Primus Inter Pares - Keza Purple Cardinal of Foreign Affairs: Kongo Jack Cardinal of Internal Affairs: RandomNoobster Cardinal of Finance: Soxirella Cardinal of Protection: John Baraboo Signed for Eclipse Vein & Pascal, Commanders Signed for Sword of Sanghelios Arbiter - Christian Kaidon - Jaden Oracle Master of Warfare - Flamescove Oracle Master of Diplomacy - Grabacr Oracle Master of the Interior - MorganL Oracle Master of Machines - Scatheon

I personally blame Alan, could have been sorted much sooner.

Carthage was far better known for their war ships. Swimming elephants do sound pretty OP though, so let's go with that.🐘

TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY Two Years ago, on the 21st of April marks the Anniversary of Carthago. What started off as a joke between friends in the fledgling SPQR and Egyptian Empire quickly escalated into the ever risky plan to merge, originating the place many of us are happy to call our home. We have no doubt, experienced a great amount of hardships in the course of our existence. Questions were raised at the time, as to whether we'd be able to survive our very first Global War, NPOLT, one in which many alliances in both sides did not. Despite that, we've since then exceeded the expectations of friends and enemies alike, choosing our own course when we decided to switch sides and knowingly paying a heavy cost as a result. We stand today as a testimony of perseverance, celebrating our history, the people we've met along the way and our many accomplishments this year. Although belated, due to many of us being throughly busy with IRL obligations, we'd like to invite you to join us in celebration for a few events we'll be hosting, throughout the month of July: ----- Opening Ceremony (10th of July, 21:10 UTC): At the start of the celebrations, there'll be a radio show hosted by yours truly and officers, where we'll talk about our past History, the current affairs of the alliance, our allies and our expectations for the future. Taking notes is recommended, as this will be on your next exam (we're hosting a Kahoot). After that, we'll likely drift off to games such as Jackbox, Skribbl.io, etc. I may be hosting the movie "Hamilton" on Sunday 11th (more on that in our Discord). Art Competition (10-17th of July): Each participant will submit a drawing, painting or GFX artwork of an Elephant of their own design. We'll also alternatively be providing a ready-made drawing, which you can print to color or edit as you wish. Submissions will be posted in a separate channel, were the winners can be voted on. Submissions should be sent to Raven21#5083. 1st Place - $50,000,000 2nd Place - $10,000,000 3rd Place - $5,000,000 Chess Tournament (11-27th of July): Participants are required to pay a $5,000,000 entry fee and sign-up on Challonge, where the tournament bracket will be hosted. Registration will be closed on the Day Change of the 10th. Entry Fee: https://politicsandwar.com/nation/id=60766 Sign-up Link: Click Here! Winning Prize: $200,000,000 Betting on Participants: Audience members and Participants are allowed to place bets on who they believe shall be the winner (in the form of P&W cash), with a minimal amount of $1,000,000. Upon the conclusion of the event, the pot will be proportionally split between those who correctly betted on the champion. Assassins' Guild (10-17th of July): A nerve wrecking game of murder where each of the participants becomes a stealthy assassin. They must survive the night by correctly guessing the identity of their would be killer(s) and by using an assortment of tools with which to kill other assassins (and innocent bystanders) at large in order to earn or lose respectively points and win! As the match draws to a close, a golden snitch will be chosen at random, successfully murdering it will mean an instant victory. If you'd like to participate, DM Daveth#0674 or Billy#0136 on Discord. Registration will be closed after the end of the opening ceremony on the 10th. TLDR; Blame Sval. Friends or enemies are welcome to attend, come have fun! https://discord.gg/WAK7FWDkf8

Who'd want to sign an alliance with @KiWilliam in it? Perish the thought... Good luck to our folks at OWR with another group of Romans.

Glad to see this finally out Wana. Gotta agree with Ataxia... that bounty doesn't do us justice. I'm sure we'll raise it in no time. 😉

I for one wish the best of luck to you darn meddling kids!

There was a rumble in the stillness of the Mediterranean Sea, as the Carthaginian ships crossed the sea and obnoxiously traded all manners of things. This disturbance seemed to originate from a cocky civilization under the sea, the Lost City of Atlantis they called themselves. Well then, let them be found! TLDR; Carthago declares war on The Lost Empire and their associates in the Swamp.

Best of luck to tCW with their new adventures.

Best of luck Morf, it's about darn time some fresh media popped up!

Camelot holding those values dearest, that's the real joke here.

I am once again declaring that House Stark Carthago and the Kingdom of the North Shining City support the new Prime of OWR, Luis. All dissenters thus have have been hung on the walls by their pinky toes until they declare support for Luis.

We at Carthago would like to once again state in no uncertain terms that we support OWR and their new Prime. Down with Kabu!

I pledge my sword to the banner of Darth Ataxia, the King in the North By the old gods and the new down with the tyranny of the Squeegee Sidious with honor, loyalty, and direwolves for all.

We at Carthago would like to support Kabu and his administration in these hard times... it's unfortunate that it's come to this. Alas, this change was long overdue.

Just send Partisan to the same retirement home as Fist, they can relive their epic battles of old during tea time chess. Ez pz.
