The Brotherhood of Malice: The Embassy

[Eldrad]

I hear defenders will soon move to the next step of sending us strongly worded letters!

Oh no!

Well anyways

[East Chimore]

I hear defenders will soon move to the next step of sending us strongly worded letters!

If my former colleagues go down the same route that Woodrow Wilson did, they'll be just as reviled for inaction. Wonder if a Bull Moose will shake things up for our opposition.

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

In War, Peace.
In Death, Victory.
In Sacrifice, Vigilance.

Through this creed, our enemies' order of armchairs of exceptional complacency are dedicated to whinging about, but not fighting, invaders throughout NationStates.

[Aleena]

I have to say, this is a rather interesting side effect of the attack on Europe, not even from a "tgw won't be getting spawns anymore" perspective, but also from the perspective of what it implies. What this essentially is is an admission of defenderdoms current inability to protect native communities, after all, how is anyone expected to believe that defenders can protect them when defenders have just taken an action that shows they do not even believe they can protect themselves.

Just some food for thought for any natives reading who think they're at all protected by anything other than raider unity, signing a treaty, or making their delegate nonexec. You aren't, those tasked with that protection can no longer even defend their own.

Nearly 3 months ago, I posted this little observation in the wake of the europe raid and the transition of TAI to a stronghold. At the time, I received push back from other members of the defenderdom. They argued the state of TGW does not reflect all of defenderom.

All these months later, I am ecstatic to declare that I have been proven right. The 2021 guard who promised their return would signal a shift have proven themselves to be paper tigers; Unable to do anything except for creating failed propaganda campaigns proudly proclaiming themselves to be "still here". (this campaign, of course, is plainly ridiculous as propaganda. fire fighters who fail to put out fires do not get medals simply for showing up.) I could go on, but I frankly am more interested in looking at this all from the native's point of view.

In the wake of the liberation proposals, we have seen more uninvolved natives publicly questioning what defenderdom's strategy even is here. Now, just on the surface this is fascinating as a retort against any claims that my claims of defenderdom being unable to defend natives are pure raider propaganda, but it also has some other interesting aspects to it. It shows an increasing lack of faith in defenderdom and in particular libcord to be an effective force. As natives increasingly lose faith in libcord, they shall seek out other methods.

The way I see it, natives have been forced into two options. Option one is to sign a treaty or abide by raider unity. (establishing a governor is also the other option, but I am currently looking at the political/military options available to natives.) This is fundamentally the only way to ensure that your region will never come under our assault, as even governored regions can be del bumped, and depending on their delegacy settings even griefed. Though, to be open with natives about the potential outcomes of this, they may also come under assault from the glorified mafia of libcord or the MGC. After all, defenderdom doesn't really care about whether or not your region is being griefed. They want you under their boot, forced to rely on their subpar protection with no option of seeking out better protection. Though to me this is all the more reason to join us so you can truly be free from your chains, I am also aware that some may not be willing to risk it.

The other option is to yourselves become defenders. However, I'm not going to suggest you join libcord. No, the way libcord is organized, at least from my (admittedly limited) insight is arguably directly responsible for the way things are now. One key advantage that raiderdom has over libcord is that we are far more independent from each other, despite what the propaganda from MGC types may lead you to believe. If tomorrow sparkalia or TBH (or take your pick really) completely collapsed, raiderdom would continue on. Sure, we wouldn't particularly be happy about all those lost pilers, but it wouldn't intrinsically change the operations of other orgs. The same cannot be said of libcord. While libcord does have infrastructure for all commanders from other militaries to come together, it is more used for the higher ups of libcord to divulge orders than as any sort of collective leadership. The higher up command largely consists of those from larger more "important" orgs. Which in principle makes sense: there can be a lot of smaller orgs and letting all of them in could pose an opsec risk. The problem then comes in when libcord is the only medium by which large scale defending happens (read: not simple detags). This allows the higher ups in libcord to essentially act as dictators towards the smaller defender orgs. Even when motivated individuals are willing to lead and partake in liberation efforts, if the league or TGW decide they no longer wish to liberate, a liberation will not occur. This leaves young aspiring defenders with little option than to join the existing large orgs and spend the time and energy trying to climb the ranks (while being given minimal training that would allow them to ever actually break off). They will burn themselves out trying to change things. It'd be a fools errand trying to change libcord from within.

The only solution for you natives who are frustrated with defenders lack of actually doing their job but who are also unwilling to see the light like Chimore and Milo did is to break off from libcord. Building up a new defenderdom would certainly take effort, and I once again encourage you to simply do the more straightforward thing and simply work with us instead. It is however, a far better option than hoping that one day libcord would improve and TGW and the league would once again be willing to do more than one siege per occupation (only to eventually go right back to doing that if the tables ever turned again against defenderdom, because again, these are issues fundamental to the lack of independence between orgs that exist in current defenderdom.)

Just some food for natives (and perhaps fed up defender underlings) to chew on.

[Angeloid Astraea]

That's a nice post, Addi, but I found an issue with it!

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

You know what? Let me try this thing for the first time. No really, never have before.

Prompt: I run an organization of Defenders in the game NationStates, whose purpose is to oppose Raiders and protect innocent Native regions. Recently, we have suffered a series of embarrassing losses and the brain drain of repeated retirements. As a result of our low morale and stamina, several Native regions have been lost to Raiders. How can I better inspire our forces to take to the field for Liberations and achieve success in defeating the Raiders?

Boosting morale and revitalizing your organization's spirit is crucial for overcoming setbacks and reclaiming lost ground. Here are some strategies to inspire your Defenders:

1. Effective Communication: Keep lines of communication open and transparent. Regularly update members on the organization's goals, achievements, and challenges. Encourage constructive feedback and suggestions to foster a sense of ownership and involvement.

2. Leadership Presence: Lead by example. Show dedication, resilience, and determination in the face of adversity. Engage with members personally, offering support and guidance when needed. A strong leadership presence can instill confidence and motivation in your team.

3. Training and Preparation: Invest in training programs and drills to enhance the skills and readiness of your Defenders. Organize workshops, simulations, and strategy sessions to improve coordination and effectiveness in combat situations. Preparedness breeds confidence and competence.

4. Recognition and Rewards: Recognize and celebrate the achievements and contributions of your members. Implement a system of rewards, commendations, or badges to acknowledge outstanding performance and incentivize excellence. Feeling valued and appreciated boosts morale and fosters loyalty.

5. Unity and Camaraderie: Foster a sense of unity and camaraderie among your members. Encourage teamwork, mutual support, and solidarity. Organize social events, forums, or online communities where Defenders can bond, share experiences, and forge strong relationships.

6. Inspiring Mission: Remind your Defenders of the noble purpose and importance of their mission. Emphasize the impact of their efforts in safeguarding innocent regions and promoting peace and stability. Reconnect them with the values and principles that initially motivated them to join the cause.

7. Adaptability and Innovation: Encourage adaptability and innovation in your strategies and tactics. Analyze past failures and learn from mistakes to evolve and improve. Embrace creativity and flexibility in problem-solving, and empower your members to explore new approaches and solutions.

8. Empowerment and Trust: Delegate responsibilities and empower your members to take ownership of various initiatives and projects. Trust their abilities and judgment, and provide them with the autonomy and support needed to succeed. Empowered Defenders are more motivated, engaged, and effective in their roles.

By implementing these strategies and fostering a culture of resilience, unity, and excellence, you can inspire your Defenders to rise above challenges, reclaim lost territories, and achieve success in defeating Raiders.

Prompt: You are a leader in the Defending faction of NationStates. Write a brief speech encouraging your liberators to act against Raiders with enthusiasm, despite a likely uphill battle ahead.

My fellow Defenders,

Today, we stand at a crossroads, facing a formidable challenge that tests our resolve and determination. The Raiders have struck hard, and we've suffered losses that sting our pride. But let me be clear: this setback is not our defeat. It's a rallying call, a chance to show the world the strength of our conviction and the depth of our commitment.

Yes, the road ahead may be tough. We may face obstacles that seem insurmountable, and the odds may not always be in our favor. But remember, it's in moments like these that true heroes are born. It's when the fight gets toughest that our spirit shines brightest.

We are Defenders, guardians of peace, protectors of the innocent. Our mission is noble, our cause is just. Every region lost to Raiders is a beacon calling out for our help, and it's our duty to answer that call with unwavering courage and unwavering resolve.

Together, we are stronger than any adversary. Together, we can overcome any challenge. Let us rise above our doubts and fears, let us stand shoulder to shoulder, united in purpose and determination. Let us march forth with enthusiasm and vigor, knowing that with every step we take, we reclaim lost territories and restore hope to those who need it most.

So I say to you, my fellow Liberators, let us seize this moment with all the passion and zeal in our hearts. Let us show the world what it means to be a Defender. Let us inspire others to join our cause and stand against the forces of tyranny and oppression.

The road ahead may be long and difficult, but I have no doubt that together, we will emerge victorious. For as long as there are Raiders threatening the peace and stability of our world, we will be there to oppose them, to defend the defenseless, and to fight for a better tomorrow.

Thank you, and may the spirit of the Defenders guide us on our journey.

Huh, well, not bad for NS campaigns - can't be less effective than what they're doing now?

[The Sea of Shadows]

Defenderdom is in a bad state. I figured with QB back on the field maybe we'd have a ball game. Well, maybe next year!

[New Sunville]

Operation Shattered Reality

Exactly as planned, every major city located within the region of Eclipsis had suddenly dropped below sea level. As the seawall fell, colossal ships poured over the city making the buildings look like toys. From the ships, Assassins and their associates flooded into the mangled remains of the city, keen on spreading chaos. Citizens would find themselves cut down by the venerable Assassin's blade while those less fortunate drowned in the surge of sea water.

The same building Trayzn stood on now found itself surrounded by the sea, the TNT having been placed such that an island would form. With the easy part out of the way, preparation for a counter attack could begin. When resistance did come it was only one ship, which baffled and amused Trayzn. In response, only one precisely targeted missile was launched to sink the pitiful resistance. Trayzn assumed that a bigger response was being built up, however other than the normal legislation, no further meaningful retaliation came.

Now that the landscape was dotted with sinkholes and other various scars, it became the perfect composition for a photograph.

Well conducted op, Sunny. Was my pleasure to assist with the math. o7

Brotherhood Bulletin, April 2024

April, at a Glance
April for the Brotherhood came off the heels of one of the most active months in our recent history. Defender and Native alike no doubt saw the March Malice tags, an initiative to raid during every update in March. While fatigue began to set in leading up to April, the Brotherhood hit a staggering 456 regions.

The wonders event at the start of April was another point of achievement for Malice, with The Overseer's Temple topping out the list of Most Controversial, and Most Liked, while landing in the Top 3 in most other categories - only falling out of Top 3 in Most Impressive (#4), and Most Disliked. Indeed, Assassins proved that they're quite capable builders, with specially standout performances from Devious and Lusitanian Whale upon whose Atlas-esque shoulders the temple was built.

There is, of course, another thing in April we must mention,

Eclipsis Post-Mortem
By now, I hope everyone has read New Sunville's post on Eclipsis. If you haven't, go do that now.

Eclipsis started out with a queue-stuffing strategy ahead of the actual operation, aided by several proposals submitted by natives. Several international observers, including ones within the defender faction, called out the queue stuffing but failed to act on it. As a result, on April 7th 2024, Raiders stormed Eclipsis and took the WA Delegacy with little resistance.

Within hours of the invasion, a Liberation and Injunction proposal had been submitted to the World Assembly Security Council. At present, the Liberation has passed, and the Injunction was withdrawn. Perhaps broken by their recent defeat in Realm of the Whispering Winds, the sole liberation attempt following the invasion was symbolic at best. The raider hold of Eclipsis would go virtually unchallenged.

As fate would have it, NationStates would go down for nearly two weeks during this operation. An effect of this was it enabled us to grant Border Control permissions to every Regional Officer once the site was back. This would in some ways make up for the loss of influence gained during this period, and compensate for some of the blocker proposals in the queue resolving while we weren't gaining influence.

All the same, within a week of the site coming back online, Eclipsis would be refounded. Its liberation came too late, and the injunction would prove to have been futile. Eclipsis has now fallen under control of the Brotherhood in perpetuity.

Naturally, during their placid vacation in Eclipsis, Brotherhood Assassins could not help but take a peek at the Eclipse. Anomalous behavior was exhibited during Totality, which has come to be dubbed "The Overseer's Eye."

The Department of Zone Enrichment put out a questionnaire on behalf of the Brotherhood Optometrists Guild (BOG), polling Assassins about their experience during the eclipse! Some answers provided here, but for the full survey results please refer to this dispatch.

I ascended to the highest roofs of the house of learning and saw a ring of fire engulf the sky. Villagers stopped in their tracks in awe and wonderment.

I only had a small moment to look into the Overseer's Eye, as falling Fenda jets struck by the Brimstone™ AA system were unfortunately obstructing the view. However, for what little I saw, it was a truly mesmerizing moment.

It was dark. Impossibly, unfathomably dark. The impenetrable darkness of the void which awaits all regions. I stared into it, waiting for a sign, some shining halo in the darkness, or at least a spark. Come to think of it, I think my sunglasses were defective. I should sue.

It burned. My eyes. Fire.

The Overseer's eye is dark, surrounded by fiery fire, and blinding to the naked eye. I now am of the knowledge that the Overseer's eyeballs have such power, similar to or greater than the Sun's, and am not sure whether the Sun itself isn't an artifact of the Overseer too.

What rave reviews! BOG has even confirmed that direct viewing of the Overseer's Eye only resulted in permanent blindness in 72.7% of assassins!

Assassinating for Democracy
During the two-week outage, many assassins bravely signed up for the "Malicious Interplanetary Liberty Force," deploying to planets across the galaxy to defend against the enemies of Democracy. This included, but was not limited to,

• Bugs
• Flying Bugs
• Armored Bugs
• Bugs with Beautiful Long Legs
• Robots
• Bigger Robots
• Four Legged Robots
• Flying Robots
• Chicken Robots

Many members of the Malicious Interplanetary Liberty Force perished however their sacrifices, and there were many sacrifices, were not in vain and were instrumental in ensuring the spread of democracy across the known galaxy.

The show of patriotism from every level of the Brotherhood has been laudable, with everyone from our own Vampire King to Associates enlisting in the Malicious Interplanetary Liberty Force.

Despite worries of an Automaton plot that would threaten the ability of all defenders of democracy to fight the good fight, and an internal report leaked from the Master's Council earlier yesterday morning outlining the need for a "Denial of Eminent Enemy Zones" posture, and a "Near Universal Termination Stratagem," this plot was thwarted by a brave effort from partner groups, joined by the Malicious Interplanetary Liberty Force.

[The Phantom Gambler]

Royal sat at his desk, quill in hand as he sighed in frustration.
"How do I begin? The March of Malice ended over a month ago, yet the words to pen my version of events elude me."
Sighing angrily, he put his quill to paper and resolved himself to writing until he could write no more.

---

Greetings, reader. I am Royal, or Milo to those of you who know me. I hope the short excerpt above demonstrates the difficulties I've had writing this, as I've agonized over the words to use for over a month. The motives of the March Malice Team (henceforth referred to as the team) varied wildly between members, and I do not believe I could begin to do them justice. Instead, I shall tell the tale from my point of view as the lead organizer of March Malice.

The planning for March Malice began just after Sapienta's raid on Belgium, on the 20th of February. Central Chimore, Volstrostia, and I sat in the raid VC, talking about whatever struck our fancy when Chimore mentioned she would one day like to host a week of nonstop tagging. Volstrostia and I shared the same sentiment, and what started as a joke turned into a serious discussion about the ramifications of such an endeavor. After several minutes of discussion, I upped the ante by suggesting we tag every major for the entire month instead, which my comrades emphatically agreed to. I hurriedly DMed Valtarre, and acquired permission for such a massive endeavor. What followed was hurried planning, during which I wrote and released the following announcement into organization channels one week later:

Your eyes slowly open, pupils dilating rapidly as bright light bathes your retinas as if the sun were mere inches from your face. They slowly begin to adjust to the searing light, agony fading as you blink the pain away. You struggle to stand but feel your hands and legs are bound impossibly tight. Turning your head, you see many other people similarly tied on either side of you, rousing to consciousness. You recognize them as your fellow assassins and feel a prick of fear as you wonder who could've captured the entire Brotherhood. Slowly, your eyes perceive a trio of hooded figures sitting in a dark corner of the room, watching you. One of them speaks in a regal, saurian voice.
"The dawn of the Overseer's will is upon us."
Behind the figure, a shadow waves slowly in the darkness. The next shape speaks, voice icy and smooth.
"This month of March will be one of bloodshed. The Overseer has decreed it." The voice is distinctly male and occasionally broken up by a coin flipping through the air. The third form stirs and speaks, voice laced with a feline tinge.
"At the moon's peak on the first, the massacre shall begin."
All three voices rise up now, a sickening and powerful will shaping their words with a malevolent purpose that tears at the very fiber of your being.
"Come to us upon major for 31 days, to drown your blades in blood. Let no foe have comfort, let no target have respite, and let the month of March be forever soaked in blood. Be ready."
As the voices stop, the three figures slowly dissolve into the shadows, their purpose made clear. On cue, your binds fall loose, and you are left shivering and confused in a desolate warehouse.

The hype was immediate, with new graphics and art being posted within twenty minutes. Within an hour, Rudastan had volunteered to trigger minor updates, which we emphatically accepted. With his addition to the team, as well as Thorn1000 and Bloody Good Riot, we now had a full team capable of triggering every update for a month. Chimore and I triggered majors, while Rudak, Thorn, and Riot triggered minors. Volstrostia served as a backup trigger when needed. By this point, I had also invited Osiris, TBH, Osiris, Kantrias, Astoria, Ijaka, Sparkalia, and Lair Of The Dragon to update at major on March 1st.
Two days later, March Malice began with a minor raid led by Rudak. The following major was the true opening of March Malice in which I delivered a short speech before the update, which formally invited present organizations to every update that month:

Nearly two decades ago, a creed that now shakes the foundations of NS first emerged: Raider Unity. Raider Unity is not an organization or movement; it is an ideal. To raid is the purpose of all raiders, and all raiders are united by that purpose. To achieve that ideal, we refuse to attack one another; in this way, Raider Unity is a universal and unspoken non-aggression pact among all raiders. To pursue the ideal to its fullest, however, we must go beyond, and work together to hold back the defender menace that threatens to defeat us were we to stand divided.
I say this not as a lecture, but as a reminder of why we work together. It is through this cooperation that many of raiding's best moments came to pass, both on and off the battlefield. The best of my time on NationStates is easily the conversations I have with my comrades in arms, dealing blows to defenders on the battlefield. And so, for the month of March, The Brotherhood is hosting a tag raid every single update. Sixty-two opportunities for new moments, sixty-two opportunities for new friends, and sixty-two opportunities created by cooperation. My friends in arms, your organizations are invited to all of them. Not for the sake of military victory, but for preserving the culture of cooperation that has made the game feel that much brighter.

That update was uneventful, with no defender resistance. This pattern would continue for the first week, experiencing little to no issues. In the second week, things would become much harder as defenders began chasing us in earnest, something which I was happy about. Moving into the third week, it was clear both sides were losing steam. We finally missed our first update, and defending chaser turnout was slowly dropping. The fourth week was a slog, a few last breaths as updaters on both sides finally got exhausted and stopped showing. With the knowledge that a major operation (Eclipsis, though I did not know the target at the time) would happen soon, I called a team vote to terminate the event early on March 27th, which succeeded with a 4-0-2 majority.

I do not know if March Malice could be called a success or a failure. We saw mixed results, and many of us had our own goals and wants from it. I intended it as a direct challenge to defending, calling their bluff in the wake of the Daddy's Home announcement. The heavy resistance we saw in the second week of March Malice gave me hope, as I prefer a challenge in R/D, and defending was providing it in spades. I will not deny that you made us use every trick we had, and even then it was often not enough. After defending's showing in Eclipsis, however, I know now that it did not work in the long term. I remain happy with the level of allied involvement in March Malice, with friends from Sparkalia and Astoria showing at most updates.

About the March Malice reports, many things changed during the course of the event. I was originally going to write all of them, but after the first three, I quickly learned that I could not keep that up. Instead, I let the individual triggers write their own reports, which Chimore and Alex did quite well. The plot of these 5 reports is my own, made from some random writing I did on the day of the Belgium raid. It will continue in my future reports, as I do like it and want to continue the tale of the New Falkner Republic.

And that is my recollection of March Malice. I thank you, reader, for showing interest despite my rambling. May the Overseer guide your blades.

---

Royal dropped his quill, fingers aching and inkwell empty. He leaned back in his chair, sighing in relief.
"It's finally done," he said, stretching. "Now I can continue my other work."
He stood from his chair, palming his blades and walking into the streets of the New Falkner Republic.

[The Ever-Wanderer]

Reflections on Prior Correspondence

A desire to purge is required for leadership in the Brotherhood, but different leaders reflect this desire in their own ways. One of the Ever-Wanderer's favorites was always being able to purge his office after an operation - filing away certain records for posterity, sending others to the Vampire King for his own record keeping, disposing of others. By the end of it, his office would be a much neater place, freed from the heaps of correspondence and calculation that overseeing an undertaking always generated.

Sometimes, he also found messages he'd nearly forgotten about, buried under more pressing matters.

Shortly after chucking one contingency plan into his fireplace and placing another into his "plans D through ZZ" folder, he came across a trio of letters from over half a year ago, which has been clipped to a fourth from two years prior - specifically, the declarations of war foisted upon the Brotherhood. Always excited for a distraction from the monotony of cleaning, he began to reread them each.

On the top of the small stack was Balder's. A chuckle escaped the Ever-Wanderer's depths, and he gave into a baser instinct to pen a belated personal response.

Dearest Monarch of the Decayed Realm,

Last October, you declared "The longboats are being brought out of drydock and the Jomsvikings are sharpening their axes," in announcing Balder's first ever war.

I reply to ask, how long does that take again? Surely your boats must be floating and your blades honed by now. It has been seven months!

It reached my ears that you hired, then fired, a mercenary general to aid this process. Do you require advice on another hire? I have a former Jomsviking or two here in the Brotherhood that may be able to assist with doing, well, anything at all.

Does "FRAM" stand for Failure, Reluctance, Apathy, and Meekness?

You promised your decision was serious. The record since demonstrates anything but.

Best wishes in turning things around,

The Ever-Wanderer

Next in the stack lay Europeia's. After pursuing both their letter and an opinion piece attached to it, he reached again for his pen.

Dearest Europeia,

I'd like to commend the prescience of your Cabinet member Westinor. She recognized early on that war is not a means to an end nor a promise for more. That declaring war will not suddenly stop Malice, and that waiting for consequences without action means waiting perpetually. That standing by without devotion to the cause will lead to a futile effort with these strength of words in the wind. That the citizens of Europeia will have to stand up and fight to achieve victory in their "greater cause." That all will not matter if they do not fight in the battlefield of update.

Westinor was right. And don't try to deflect with some comment about sanctions - can you honestly even begin to claim that, between the Brotherhood and Europeia, the one whose affairs and relations have degraded seven months later, is the Brotherhood?

You should go back and read Westinor's words, and next time we're burning native fields, consider jumping more than once.

We’ll be waiting.

That out of the way, he moved on to The North.

My dear North,

I'm disappointed to see that Kaschovia's promise to carry the war "through until the end" actually referred to the end of his term, and not the end of the war.

You promised back then that you would never be discouraged and that you'd "never let our allies suffer at their discretion without consequence." Any yet your elections debate whether the war is even winnable and worth continuing, while your allies suffer monthly, and the best consequences you can imagine are "raiding a warzone, again" and "expanding the sanctions which primarily result in storming out of other regions' events in a huff after they refuse to comply."

I'll give you the small credit that you do perform slightly better than most of your peers - The North fought, if ineffectually, longer than anyone else did in Eclipsis, and strives more than most to counter our tags. But it doesn't seem to be doing much to stop us from having our way with the world.

As another delegate becomes a footnote and we remain on top of Gameplay with another refound in our pocket, I encourage you to add some fuel to that flame you laud.

You were right about one other thing: fighting you is not the same thing as slinging mud and taunting you in gameplay; it actually involves rather less work than that!!

With his feet having found their way into the top of his now-cleared desk, the Ever-Wanderer decide to keep his reply to the final missive the shortest.

The only thing less effective than your restraint has been your engagement. The ineffectualness of your actions for the past two years defies reason and places your credibility into disrepute. Our irredeemable barbarism remains unimpeded and our hijinks unfoiled.

Please consider more drastic action. I could use the challenge.

With a swirling signature and the press of a seal, the responses were placed en route to their recipients.

In pursuit of a clean desk and in hopes of increasing their value to the world, the original declarations were given to the Imp Thorn to practice his scribbles on.

[Rosartemis]

Four different wars have been declared against it, and yet not one of these warmongers has made a dent in the Brotherhood. I wonder who'll be the next fool to try their hand? Well, I'm certain their precious piece of paper would make for a lovely origami swan, who knows? It might also double as a perfect paperweight to anchor down all these other useless declarations of war!

NS Gameplay has a long memory and longer grudges. I'm pretty sure there's still grudges about events from 2003 Gameplay that impact foreign relations north of 20 years later.
