OUR DEMOCRACY HAS FALLEN

Our democracy has fallen. "Detective Figs" has declared herself Empress of Osiris and claimed sole Legislative, Executive and Judicial control over the region. We must rise to this insult and free Osiris from these imperialists. Detective Figs as Interim Pharaoh was invested with responsibilities which she ignored.

Osiris has been betrayed and it is time it overthrow its betrayer.

To help with the revolution:

1) Remove your endorsement from Detective Figs
2) Wear the old flag of Osiris, the flag of the revolution: http://udl.taijitu.org/images/rflags/osiris/osiris__950354.jpg
3) Watch here for further communication: nation=free_osiris_army/detail=factbook/dsubcategory1=104

Let the blue and black flag fly again in Osiris!

SUPPORT FOR THE DICTATORSHIP IS FADING

For the past few days, dissenters have been removing their endorsements from The Astarial Dictatorship. Her support and her faux legitimacy is fading; her grip over the region is waning.

This is requiring The Empress to turn to foreign endorsements to support her regime change, instead of the actual Osiran people. Endorsements have been trickling into Osiris from Spiritus to support this authoritarian regime. Some examples include:



THE PROPOSED NEW GOVERNMENT IS MERELY AN ILLUSION

The Empress claims to come to Osiris with good intentions and radical democratic ideas, but has instead proposed a hollowed out, colonial structure that will act as an illusion for her reign of power. No one with the actual, genuine intent of bringing greater democratic reform to Osiris would begin this initiative by declaring themselves the sole legislative, executive and judicial authority of the region.

Her proposals include:

• Appointing an imperialist as "High Inquisitor" with free reign over Osiris's judiciary.
  
• A legislative body that "will stand empty for the moment"
  
• A legislative body that will not be open for all Osirians.
  
• Reducing the barriers between the executive and legislative branches to drive "internal activity".

Osirians will not let this tyranny continue, this farce will not be tolerated.

[Alyekra]

From what I can gather, the previous regime was worse as far as democracy goes.

I don't know why you would get so attached to a GCR regime, anyway.

[Biyah]

I'd be more impressed if you told us which one you were. And given Ive heard only two people out of all give concerns - this isn't very impressive. I could take a guess of which of the two you are (if you are even one of them, I wouldn't discount agitators like Prussia, etc), but it's a wasted effort. The bulk of government and citizens are backing this, and we can't please everyone.

Try again.

Actually given what I've seen from behind the scenes and in front of them(especially last night) I'm going to have to go on the record saying this: I trust Earth to safeguard the democracy of Osiris over Asta and Biyah any day.

THE EMPRESS BANS AND SUPPRESSES DISSENT

Just moments ago, The Empress banned and ejected the Free Osiris Army from Osiris.

The Empress lied to us when she said, “Osiris will not be a dictatorship” and that she “far prefer[s] discussion, debate, and consensus over simply bossing people around”. The Empress only wishes to discuss with those who agree with her rule.

She has suppressed our words from The Regional Message Board because they are words she does not want you to see. The truth, she feels, is better hidden.

Also, thank you to Gooshinuagwa for removing your endorsement from The Empress and flying the revolutionary flag of Osiris.

The people of Osiris know who to trust and it is not The Empress.

[Mad Jack]

The Empress lied to us when she said, “Osiris will not be a dictatorship”

Detective Figs used a power that every Pharaoh has held and that makes her a dictator?

[Detective Figs]

Reducing the barriers between the executive and legislative branches to drive "internal activity".

Oh. Em. Gee. Activity in a region is like, the worst thing ever. What a horribly deviant dictatress I am!

Actually given what I've seen from behind the scenes and in front of them(especially last night) I'm going to have to go on the record saying this: I trust Earth to safeguard the democracy of Osiris over Asta and Biyah any day.

I think Asta will be a good choice of persons to reform Osiris.

C'mon, Douria. Is a little consistency too much to ask?

[The Dourian Embassy]

Here's the real issue. When you say stuff like "The people of Osiris can decide if this is the right path through endorsements," and then you ban people who're opposing you...

I think you can see the problem here.

Except anyone who gives a fuck about what you of all people think as it relates to Osiris needs to get their head checked.

[Biyah]

Oh, let em have their propaganda. One pissed off defender who can twist the obvious isn't a worry.

As you know, no pharoah ever used a ban button.

On the more serious side, one banning isn't a dictatorship. heh. But lets ignore uncomfortable facts and get back to the manufactured outrage, it's MUCH more interesting to read.

[The Dourian Embassy]

C'mon, Douria. Is a little consistency too much to ask?

Here's the thing, the things I've known about you in the past, they're pointing to someone who actually cares about liberty, and fairness and justice...

But hey... given what I've seen you say you're planning in Osiris for the last couple of days, I'm going to go with: Perhaps when you say you're going to own the region for quite a long while now... I'm allowed to think that's probably a bad thing.

[Unibot III]

Reducing the barriers between the executive and legislative branches to drive "internal activity".

Oh. Em. Gee. Activity in a region is like, the worst thing ever. What a horribly deviant dictatress I am!

So you're not even going to try to deny that claim?

The separation of the legislative and executive powers is a key feature of any government that doesn't want to fall into sheer despotism. At the moment though I guess you are a despot, so you don't really care. >_>

[Biyah]

Actually, the government was posted with a separation of powers.

That's the beauty of agitprop - you don't have to worry about facts, and you can get people stirred up over nothing. Of course, it usually works best when you're not fighting 98% of the region, but lets not let common sense get in the way.

[Hyanygo]

Not necessarily Unibot. Not it if skillfully done. Whilst I'm a little concerned at the intellectual capital Osiris has at her disposal, I suppose it could be done.

I currently have a WA parked supporting the sitting delegate and waiting for reports from the inside as it were. Rest assured I will switch if need be.

[Detective Figs]

But hey... given what I've seen you say you're planning in Osiris for the last couple of days, I'm going to go with: Perhaps when you say you're going to own the region for quite a long while now... I'm allowed to think that's probably a bad thing.

I mean, you're allowed to think what you want, but before you assert that I have any interest in "owning" the region for "quite a long while", it might behoove you to be sure you're not referencing obviously hyperbolic and overblown statements.

Really, people who believe things like "OSIRIS IS MINE ALL MINE MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MY PRECIOUSSSSS" are simply asking to be deceived.

So you're not even going to try to deny that claim?

Oh, it's wholly inaccurate and overblown, as one might expect - the asserted "lack of separation of powers" would be more properly phrased as, "You must be an active citizen to join the legislature, as measured by participation in various activities, organized by the executive branch." You can read my post on the WFE, or on the Osiris forum, if you'd like the details.

But, hey, if you would rather believe the crazy conspiracy theories...

[Biyah]

We've gone through two coups in the last three months. If Asta goes out of control, I suspect everyone will jump in line to jump on her.

*shrugs*

she has a new structure based on activity posted, lets go from there. In the mean time, we have Mad TV (oh, sorry, Osiran Free Press) to keep us entertained.

This might be a dumb question but...Osirans, has your flag's gif always been maintained on a UDL website?

That's a site created by Eluvatar that records regional flags.

That's one of Elu's old image/file dumps. Anything with Taijitu in it's url was set up by him, and there's TSP and TNP related stuff in them as well.

[All Good People]

If banjecting a nation is worth this bluster, how come you didn't complain about my five banjections from TWP yesterday.

[Biyah]

As much as I'd adore pointing this at UDL, I think that directory has just about every flag in the game.

Now, who has access to that dump is another story. I don't have the background to comment. If it's defender/udl only, THEN we might have something interesting to comment about. But at the moment, not so much.

I can access it. So I assume anyone could if they wanted to.

[Biyah]

That's about what I thought. So, that isn't a smoking gun.

Fratt/Bel - Thanks. (This) Conspiracy theory averted.

Wow, never saw this coming. lol
