I mean here in Gameplay. The majority of your recent posts have just been negative or mild attacks. You feeling ok?

I second this. Your outward behaviour is very, very concerning to a lot of people, both raiders and defenders, Ivo. And however slighted and even shocked many of us are from the all negativity and attacks, there are still a number of us among them who genuinely care about you.

Knot II:

See me on Skype on Friday or Saturday evening. I feel that a talk would be a good idea. You might not want one, but from what I (and others) can see, you do need one.

Hi, no I didn't leave. I'm stuck here forever.

Now, for the sequel to the it-actually-happened #TWPCoupWatch2015....

#OsirisCoupWatch2016!
It seems there's a group subtly moving its people into Osiris' government...

Fuck...... And I was having so much fun hammering on TWP. Oh well, I guess me and Cormac weren't going to be on the same side for very long. :(

Cormac lost an election, so this was inevitable. What is disappointing is that Tim is supporting it.

A "coup" backed by the last pharaoh (fenda leaning tim <3) and the two active co-founders of the ofo gives me serious question as to what was and was not a reasonable measure.

If George Washington and the Founding Fathers came from the dead and forcibly took control of the government by subversion or otherwise, it's still a coup.

They'd have a field day in the Supreme Court. It'd be decades before the founding fathers were finished suing the federal government. Of course, that's if the Courts decide to hear their numerous cases.

I remember when coups in Osiris were unique and special.

Then it happened a few more times, in the same year.

Then things got quieter and I wondered if maybe they had put the whole "Coupville" label behind them.

Maybe not so much. Is there a saying for fool me five times; shame on everyone for seven generations?
