Dark times are upon us. The Albion embassy in Hibernia has been withdrawn. The Albion nation has declared that they will go to peace unless in the next 24 hours the Hibbies let brewery inpsectors access all their barrels of mass brain cell destruction including all organically grown and 4-leaf varieties. Mobile factories (druids) are to be handed over immediately. All delivery systems are to be accounted for and decommisioned. Further, the Albs have threatened to remove buffbots from all 3 frontiers. When asked about Midgard's stance on buffbots a Midgardian tried to look innocent and shuffled away until he could stealth. After getting end regen of course.
Crisis talks are in progress and right now the Albion government is meeting to figure out a way to go get an excuse to go to peace, regardless of support from the Ununited Nations.
Proposed reasons...
"Lets find something and claim its underniced."
"We don't get invited to good parties" (Note: Knights Templar vetoed this)
"Don't trust anyone that don't wear tin."
The Hibernian ambassador warned that they have tens of players ready at a moment's notice and would respond to any friendliness with decisive bonhommie and angrily threatened Albion with the 'mother of all warm welcomes".
Canvassing for support from French servers, the French responded with some abuse about parents and elderberries which nobody could quite fathom until soap was thrown at them and they shied away.
Emergency councils have been set up in all 3 realms with everyone wanting to know "What will we hit if we are all at peace?"
Answers have tended along "Each other", "The bottle", and of course, "What was the question again? I was partying with some other tin'eads last weekend and still drunk cuz I'm an inf that can't hold his beer."
The anticipated housing crisis with all the stealth classes moving from frontier milegates back in-realm has led to riots in all capitals and rogue trainers have all gone into hiding.
Fear is mounting that there may be a breakout of actual roleplaying with the loss of RvR and many small roleplaying guilds have run to the hills to escape hordes of panicking rp whores. Except Nyd, who have enigmaticly responded "Green baby! Deal with it!" Already opportunists are selling books on how to roleplay and the word on the streets is "Thee, thy and forsooth". Ok thats 3 words. Green baby, deal with it!
Have a great weekend. Hunt well my bearded friends, forsooth soon thee might not be able to verily <smiles wryly while thinking up new ways to contort the English language then wonders why roleplayers emote thoughts that others could not possibly detect...>
----------------
And though I don't normally...
its one of those weeks when I'm thoroughly ashamed to be part of this species as nations and leaders show again how little we have advanced from the medieval times of the games we play. Man's smugness at how much we have evolved has been proved to be false when it seems we might have grown intellectually but not socially.
Violence truely is the last refuge of the incompetent and yet we don't seem to be able to apply this as a species though we pretend to laud the sentiment.
I am not some bleeding heart liberal, godworshipper or someone with a political agenda, nor am I an anarchist.
Just an ordinary guy watching events spiralling downwards towards a manufactured war likely to start in the next few days.
Peace. Out.
