The amusing thing is that had they just left KETOG and Chaos alone, chances are, we'd still be fighting each other. But yeah... the whole plot to roll the 2 smaller spheres and then the whole "voluntarily" joining the bigger sphere with some bogus CB reasoning...
Nice going guys. You really did a good job thinking this through.
So... you would have fought Chaos for around 7 months... you... you monster.

I will miss Syndicate. They brought so much for this game, and their most important achievement is that they entirely changed up the game a few months ago by signing NPO...
It was fun while it lasted. But like any beautiful bird, the time has come.
While the ending my be macabre, and it's certainly disheartening, it is natural.
The Syndicate has had it's rises, it's wonderful, wonderful rises...
But today is the day that the money stops. The revenue changes, and the world loses something amazing...

I just wanted to happily engage in some warring, but uh, blank page. (War wasn't declared, either).

Recopy it, and come back and do Ctrl-Shift (hold down both) v
It will paste it back without the weird format.

My friend, it was an honor. We have fought along each other, we have chatted for ages, and you have promised to raid me...
One of these days, perhaps, when it's safe enough for you to return, you will raid me. Fulfilling your promise, my friend.
I shall wait, with my high taxes, and my crown of thorns for the day that you return.
If I must, I shall personally deliver the message that you're safe, my friend.
Hopefully... hopefully there will be a new world to see.
Hopefully you will be able to come back to Orbis, my friend.
But my friend, there is but one thing that is certain.
I'm going to miss you, my friend.

Normally, I would open a suggestion with a sarcastic opening that would somewhat explain the "issue" that I'm having, but I'm far too tired to do that. For now, I'm just going to post this suggestion, and watch my upvote count decrease until I no longer have the cool gif.
Parliament
The idea behind the parliament would be that each of the "primary" groups are being represented equally in this forum. This is not going to be a "true" parliament in a sense, but this will be a step in a better direction (in my belief at least).
So, the members of the parliament.
Now, there are going to be twenty-two seats of this parliament, which will be listed below.
NPO - 2 seats.
The Covenant - 2 seats
BK sphere (GoG, Cam, etc) - 2 seats
Fark Sphere - 2 seats
Micro member of decent importance - 1 seat
Yarr - 1 seat (preferably Prefontaine)
Astra bloc - 1 seat
Chaos Bloc - 2 seats
Ketog bloc - 2 seats
Rose sphere - 1 seat
$yndi$phere - 2 seats
Administration - 1 seat (preferably Alex)
And three wildcards. These three wildcards can be from any sphere, micro alliance, or anything similar. Please note, no two wildcards can be from allies (direct or indirect. I.E. not two people where one person is TKR, and the other person in Valinor).
Powers of the Parliament
So, the parliament will be able to basically create "votes" within themselves where they get to propose an idea to the administration. Any sphere/bloc is able to put an idea onto the "dining table" and everyone gets to vote on the idea*.
The idea is that the parliament of the game is able to quickly go through a voting process, and send Alex their opinions on certain ideas and such. Ideally, the group is able to find a majority for one side or the other (13-8, 14-7, 15-6, 16-5, etc) and the vote gets passed on to Alex.
If the vote passes, then Alex has the decision of adding it to his quarterly goals (or his next quarterly goals should the month be nearing the end), or vetoing the idea. Alex has complete power of the parliament... except for one occasion. One rare occasion that will probably never happen... an unanimous vote... This will never happen, so Alex doesn't need to worry... but I feel like it would be lost to not include it.
*While everyone is able to vote on any given subject, there shall be a forty-eight hour cap on any vote. If you do not manage to state your opinion (in one way or another) your vote shall not be counted.
The Issue We're Solving
The current issue in the game is the inability to get the voice of the leadership, nor the members.
Right now, most of the important people avoid the forums because it has devolved into rabbit beasts that only copy and paste their agenda... which means that most of the people will not care for any of the polls, any of the bs going on.
So, what could be a good idea is to change the politics of the game right now. Right now, the politics of the game is "you suck", and "you suck more," and no one is really trying to convince the other person that they're right, quite frankly, they're just being rude to each other.
So this solution will do two things. The first thing it will do, is create an argumentative air, instead of a pissy one. Now, people will have a reason to try to explain to neutrals why they're right (because they won't win the vote otherwise), so they have an invested interest in trying to convince people, instead of pushing them away.
The other thing, we will have quicker opinions on current issues. So, if the game is broken in one way or another, the parliament would hopefully talk about it. Should some side have a particular opinion on something relatively unimportant, but a change that could help the game, that could also be voted on without some random poll on the forums that no one will see.
Potential Issues
The first potential issue that I'm going to bring up is voting. Now, you may be wondering "how will everyone vote in a manner that is somewhat private" and to that question, I give you a simple response. They can message a middle man their vote. Now, just because I would love to be temporally in the action, I will unceremoniously elect myself for the position. The position can be replaced on a timely basis (i.e a month, half a year, or a year (those are just examples)).
Removing members from the parliament. No one can remove anyone else from the parliament (asides from if the moderator notices they left the alliance they represent... offshore owners will be allowed), however, you can sit down from a position (i.e retire from a position),you can be removed by your alliance (should they think that you don't share their ideals well enough) you can hand off the position to someone else, and if you leave your alliance, you will be removed and replaced by someone new.
Initial members of the parliament... well this is quite simple, we ask the spheres and blocs in question to choose two representatives that accurately portray their view. The time will be about a week, and failure to create (a) member(s) in that time frame will just result in missed votes for those members. Waiting will not occur and excuses will be ignored.
Anyway, I would love to see your guys' response to this suggestion.
And, for the holiday season, Happy Thanksgiving!

But he really should update his post to your formate. His front page is what that get looked at first, and if it hard to read, it will not be read by a lot of people.
That's why I wrote it
Hopefully they do, and they make the changes that I proposed.

Many of you might be like *who dafauq are u* but aside from me never leaving my alliances discord. (Citrus Edit... you're supposed to expand on that...)
I have a very serious question and topic that worries me. Have you ever imagined the Possibility Of the extinction of Micros? I have, you see my good friend said the following "Yeah, it's never been this hard building alliances for me. idk, but things have seemed to change." (Please try to change the sentence to the left with grammar rules in mind) I myself am a micro lover. The drama, the wars that don't make the whole game go extinct. But with all of these huge alliances pulling micros into huge wars, making the micros weak and unable to sustain forcing them self's to then resort to merging into bigger alliances.
Not to mention people making these huge alliances just to take over the game. Has me thinking this game that I love, play, interact with people. has lost many great micro alliances. (Some of the periods in the collection of sentences to my left do not belong. Try to change it to create a proper flow; right now that sentence looks choppy.) Now it seems every war we get into brings the whole damn community at war with each other.
What happened to all the drama, well i can tell you drama, the friendships, the enemies. (You ask a question in this sentence, and you didn't put a question mark...) Now everyone's allied with someone in which leads up to the "big bois". I remember starting this game with nothing and this one fellow Migrane helped me, showed me how to play. Then invited me to his alliance but i didn't join. Instead I found "The Holy Teutonic Order" and oh boi was i in for a ride (Please capitalize "I"). But that's a story for another time the point is now you ask for help and rarely does it happen, when I asked for it so many people made fun of me.
But then i meet Simmons, Robert, Jack, and some other folks in whom were in a micro alliance. (Please look at the sentence to the left. Remind yourself that you should capitalize "I", and that tense matters (you should have used "met" where you used "meet") (They brought me the rest of the way. And heck I was even lucky enough to get into High gov. I meet other alliances like Acadia, Flame Strikers, etc. (and yes I was annoying at this time) And the drama, the friendships, the enemies, and my alliance trying to dodge bullets was real.
I felt connected, but then all good things come to an end. After about 3 (three) name changes My alliance was coupe and with it goes all of my hard work as high, and low gov. My sheets were useless. I had no purpose. Around some 2 (two) Months (months) ago I joined GPC.
I was inactive a while because it was summer, got immediately to high gov then removed due to lack of activity. I also re-rolled my nation due to it being in ruins. But Simmons was there (Main (main) reason why I was there) but so was this new fellow. MinesomeMC, now i (I) didn't rly (really) know him and he didn't rly (really) know me and at this time Dial up was about a little more damage than knightfall (Knightfall). (I might have gotten the name wrong (You have it right)) Everything was ok (okay), MinesomeMC had just pulled out :3 of the war and we were healing up. But then fast forward a little bit im (I'm) back at high gov. My normal position as Ia, fast forward like a week (im (I'm) still kind off (of) inactive) Simmons leaves, and with him most of gov. At this point im (I'm) like wtf happened and MinesomeMC said Simmons made his own alliance so i (I) check with Simmons and im (I'm) like oh hes (he's) sticking to a militaristic theme naming his alliance "The Regiment" Its a kind of sexy name. Me realizing that I wanted to stay in GPC and see if i (I) could get a higher standing with the leader and i (I) kind of did.
I learned a little bit more about him and he learned about me. Fast forward, we are now at war with pantheon (Pantheon) and things look good so far but then Boom (More empshasis! Boom!) Minesome hits the gov with the news "We are merging into TMC" It (it) has happened again.
You see but for the reason that he wasnt (wasn't) sure if we could protect our selfs (ourselves) with the Goons trying to take over the damn game (Please look at the previous sentence and look for where you can change it.). (Odd positioning for a period) and other alliances seeming hostile. And incompetent people raiding stronger alliances which i (I) hate. I started to see a pattern. At this time "The Regiment" was no longer a micro and im lookign (I'm looking) through alliances and the list of new alliances are dwindling from what I can see and the success rate of alliances dwindling.
A game that was filled with drama and such was dwindling. (in my opinion) Micros were merging left and right, Growing (growing) into bigger alliances. Now at this point I have thought of making my own Alliance Called (alliance called) "The Snow Knights" Broguth (brought) up this idea in my head because when I tried to get members it was like trying to pull peoples teeth.
They weren't up for it. you (You) see in peoples eyes success of a alliance is how far you make it up the leader board . But to me, its the memories, the friendships, the drama, the glory. Something about this game I hold dear is being taken away from me. Now im (I'm) not saying bigger alliances are bad. But when you have people literally trying not to play the game, but take over the dame (damn) game as the alliances (alliance's) soul (sole) purpose then u (you) have to start drawing the line. Now again many of you might not know me but that's ok (okay). Again im (I'm) a server pig. I don't venture out to other servers unless i (I) need to. But I love making new friends and I love taking criticism cause It (it) makes me learn from my mistakes. So please go add me ( Salamander#6962 ) and say hello and say if you disagree with this whole essay of idk (I don't know) what. (im (I'm) not rly (really) active on the form (forum) i (I) just have a bot that tells me the interesting stuff) but in discord im (I'm) on 24/7 almost.
Note* with this im (I'm) only trying to bring awareness to a problem in which i (I) see. no (No) need ot (to) be super offended but its(it's) up to you.
So, I edited your piece a tiny bit to make it more readable. I've only read it once though, so I can probably read it again for more information.
I also added little suggestions and such.
Either way, your opinion is your opinion.

Guys, you're taking this FAR too seriously.
Obviously BK camp is annoyed and upset. She's been asking for you to do stuff in a fashion that any women would.
She's just being indirect, my young lad.
When you get older, you will both understand ladies more, and understand ladies less...
That's just something you have to deal with.
Now go buy a bouquet and a box of chocolates, and go apologize young man.
I want you and this lady to be romping by the nights end!

I can't wait until this war is actually over...

Either way, good luck to both sides.
More so to Nokia, he'll need it the most.

How doth one mess up "The Greater Group of Orange"
It's simple.

I guess I have to approve, or I may just have to log into my nation...
Approving is easier though....
Though, I will say this, Uriah the 'Fox' the moment that I log into my nation, you shall be couped. Fear the day I re-brand this alliance into The Larger Group of Orange!

Kerchtog is looking at this incorrectly.
They should (when beiged) join Fark sphere. They should start building up their aircraft. So, eventually BK will point to Kerchtog like "oh hey, you guys lost all your members. Hahahaha" and then in like, three days, the entirety of Kerchtog will have max aircraft...
Make this happen guys, and send my nation 10 billion for this amazing war strat.
