Hey GD,

To respond to the problem of owner inactivity and laziness, we need to decide who stays and who goes on the high command. That will be your job. I will select who replaces who later on.  Continue reading →

Hey GD,

Many of you may remember the Global Coins system we had awhile back. Well, we’re going to bring it back, but with some changes. Global Coins have been renamed to a more creative name (courtesy of Redd): Terra. Terra is the Latin word for Earth, which seems fitting, since we wear globes on our heads. Continue reading →

Hey GD,

The poll in this post is unofficial, meaning it doesn’t count for anything. What it does do is give the candidates a scope of their support, and tells them whether they should drop out, pick up their game, or keep going as they have been. Remember, it’s never too late to sign up.

Hey GD,

So our practice battle vs CPND got raided by the Pirates and we spent most of our time evading them. In the future, I’d like better sizes, but these were okay.  Continue reading →

The Outback Soviet would like to ask for an armistice until after the Christmas celebrations. This would mean a temporary ceasefire, effective immediately upon agreement, that would last until the 26th. All previously scheduled invasions may be set for the 26th, and no new ones can be declared. Christmas time is a time for family and goodwill towards all, and it is only right that troops should be able to spend time with family and friends, rather than on a computer.

It doesn’t mean GD or the Soviet would shut down for the time, but the war would stop. The Outback Soviet asks that, if accepted, the Assembly thinks on our demands, and we in turn will try to make them more reasonable, in the spirit of the holidays.

For those of you who are Jewish… I hope you had a happy Hanukkah.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Redd

have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Holidays, and a Jolly Festivus!

When actions of great injustice and unfairness are committed to a people, it is their responsibility to do what they must in order to reestablish what is right. We, the people of the Outback Soviet, believe ourselves wronged by the federal Government of the Global Defenders’ Army. The President has broken his bond of fealty to the lordship of Outback, and has taken measures not within his power with the sole purpose of wasting innocent lives in war.

Pungy Agrippa, the tyrant Defender, has exercised powers not within his constitutional power. The power of a President is as follows:

The responsibilities of the President include appointing ranks, supervising elections, leading events, governing the people of the Global Defenders, approving laws passed by the Assembly, negotiation with other armies unless an Ambassador is appointed, and making sure the Global Defenders are operating at the best of their abilities. The President is responsible for the overall welfare of the Global Defenders and must not derelict such duties under any circumstances.

War is not a power listed in the Constitution belonging to the President. Yet the President has declared war, claiming it as his right and responsibility. No, war is not granted to the President, and should not all powers not given to the President be given to the People? I say to you, should there be war, it must come from the Global Defenders assembled. At best the President is allowed to defend from threats, which the Outback Soviet is not, negotiate with other armies, which he has failed to do with Outback, and approve laws passed by the Assembly. War is law, and this war has not Assembly approval.

And the President claims Outback as the Global Defenders’ territory, yet he has raided it. Is that showing responsibility for the welfare of the people in that Server? I think not. Today he has sent troops to attack and raid Outback, a server he considers still part of the Army, and therefore attacking his own Nation.

In the Constitution, it gives the Lords the following responsibility:

They are responsible to guard and protect that server. They are encouraged to recruit a small army

Having found the government oppressive and unfit to rule the Global Defenders, the Server of Outback has done what it thought right in order to guard and protect it. Our small army is perfectly legitimate, so long as it is not used against the government, which it never was. War was declared regardless, and the oath of fealty between Lord and President broken by the latter not us.

Lords may not use their armies to rebel or strike against the power of another lord or the Greater Army

The Outback Soviet, while lordship still remained, did not rebel and never did strike at the Global Defenders’ Greater Army. It simply showed its disapproval, its demand for change, and its rejection of all Greater Army laws until a new leader has been established. If Pungy Agrippa had wanted Union, he simply had to agree to concessions. Instead, he has provoked a civil war, which as is the Lords’ responsibility, we are required to protect and guard our server.

It is therefore the responsibility of the Outback Soviet to sue the President of the Global Defenders for illegally declaring war, attacking his own people, and breaking the bonds of fealty between Outback and the Greater Army. We demand that the Supreme Court gives assent to our rights as Global Defenders, and gives us fair and speedy trial, in order to address the offenses committed by the Great Tyrant, Mr. Agrippa.

We also demand that the Assembly of the Global Defenders schedules and assembles in a meeting to discuss the declaration of war and allow the People to exercise their rights as Global Defenders. The People have four choices: concession to all our previous demands in our Declaration, negotiation for Union with the Outback Soviet, a grant of independence to the Outback Soviet, or civil war. If the People decide war, then the Outback Soviet will accept it, though it is our last desire.
