Hello old friends. Many of you know me as a member of the Liberty Caucus, or from my gigantic mansion in Pofograd (well of course I have mansions all over our fair country, and many servants and beautiful women living in them) or perhaps from my great philanthropic works, or the many treatises and novels I have written on a wide array of topics, but today I come to you in another capacity, that of messenger, and I must confess it is not good news. While travelling to visit my home in Pofograd I spoke at length with a number of my colleagues and friends in that area, and they all seem adamantly convinced there will soon be a general strike in this town. Worker unrest is high and the labour unions continue to press unrealistic demands upon the beleagured industrialists, already suffering from the rough economic times we are under. I fear the worst, and since we all know that forewarned is forearmed, I hope you make of this knowledge what you can. This will be tragic for all involved, but I have warned you all many times of the dangers posed by those parasitic organizations known as unions.

Comrade, the masses of our populace, have voiced by their honor, a consummate pride, for the current state of the union. We had overcome a monstrous dictator, ever inspired by UPF speakers, who challenged this monster, in a field of words and armaments.

Your uprising here. Silly and belligerent. Our masses have not only just returned from a war! Our masses yearn for the blood of more royalists!

The people have gained a voice, a loud voice through the UPF, they will not be silenced once again. We'll fight, teeth and nail, all out, full blown! We'll fight. So, if you do not wish to call down, your speck of people, then I say, "Have at thee!" Have at thee, Royalist scum!

"Zyx, no calm down..."

"Uhh . . . shoot him? . . . umm . . . shoot him?"

*sweats profusely as he, Zyx, the "war hero," points a gun at a fellow human being for the first time.*

"No, no! I shouldn't, you should have the first shot, Demosthenes. You've more war badges than I!"

*shoves the machine gun in Demosthenes' possession.*

Lovely. And yet you wonder why libertarians are always despised and irrelevant.

The Unions pursue chipping away at the parasitic class' theft trophies known as "profits" whether or not or "philanthropist" friends at Liberty Caucus like it or not. Your class has outlived its purpose, you are on your way to the dustbin of history, and your utopia has been dead for a century.

We'll leave that to the diserning reader to say for sure, but no...this did not go through the proper news channels and is not considered official by the PoFo Daily Gazette.

Demos,

My news story about Thomas Ryan is considered official, right?

Yes, but it has been understood since the official newspaper went up, and the GM thread came into effect, that "news" had to be cleared through the GM and/or council to be considered "official".

Anyway, you guys didn't even bother to vote on the SN-RF confidence motion so I don't think you have really been "playing" anyway. :roll:

That's really lame, that you guys think you can just make up whatever rules you want. This game sucks.

I agree, we should work to overthrow the government, especially that Eagles fan Demo. Wait, that wouldn't be canon either.. :| .

No, what's really lame is the chaos we had earlier which precipitated a need for someone do actually do something constructive.

Again I point to the fact that:

Seriously, get over yourself. This is a game. Nothing constructive will happen here. We will type, and we will chat, and some of us will have a good time. I was kind of enjoying myself, until you came along and told me I couldn't play.

No one told you you couldn't play.

I guess it's out of the question that you actually try to play along with everyone else? Your ego, the giant thing that is, can't take it, I guess?

Yeah, you did, just a few posts ago. Now you're lying to me about it.
