Osiris | Danburg Seized!

[WayNeacTia]

Hail Osiris! Hail Anabelle!

[Ever-Wandering Souls]

Darn Australians, it's still March 31.

[Tinhampton]

11 minutes ago: The Groovy Guardian of Valerievna altered the region's flag.
12 minutes ago: The Groovy Guardian of Valerievna tagged the region "Defender".
12 minutes ago: The Groovy Guardian of Valerievna removed the tag "Invader".
13 minutes ago: The Groovy Guardian of Valerievna updated the World Factbook entry.

The first line of the new Osirian WFE reads: "Welcome to the Fraternal Order of the Grey Osirans!" Grey Osirans - as in the Grey Wolves? Why is the bird on the flag still gold? Where is your two-thirds citizen vote, or has the Pharoah just declared herself the only citizen and pulled off yet another surrepticious coup? Is this a new age of almost-illegal resident-but-not-citizen Bureaucracy(TM)?

And most importantly... since when has Miss Bad Life Choices shed her feathers as a Black Hawk? Why - WHY, ANABELLE, FOR THE LOVE of all that is good and holy and sacred and not to be profaned and somewhat tolerable - would you choose to publicise that switcheroo before the Hawks could do so?

[Wymondham]

I have just sent the following message to the pharaoh

Madame Pharaoh,

I must protest in the strongest possible terms my profound opposition to the newly instituted policy with regards to the military alignment of the Sekhmet Legion. Which will, in all probability, should the current deplorable innovation be perpetuated, precipitate a constriction of the channels of communication, and culminate in a condition of organisational atrophy and administrative paralysis which will render effectively impossible the coherent and co-ordinated discharge of the function of government. Therefore, I cannot in good conscience publicly support this new piece of government policy. In line with this and the tradition of Collective Responsibility, I ask that you release me from said collective responsibility by accepting my resignation and immediate departure as Vizier of Foreign affairs. I also ask that, once a suitable successor is found I am further released from my position as Guardian of Osiris and immediately following said occurrence my citizenship and the forfeiture of all my honours and titles.

Yours,

Wymondham Asteorra

I cannot support a policy that so flagrantly betrays Osiris' interests and have thus resigned due to collective responsibility. Out of respect for the region I once knew I have offered to stay in all my posts until a suitable successor can be located.

I am sorry for beating the Hawks to the punch. But now the cat is out of the bag as Lazarus has decided to stand in their truth, so must we all.

Wym, you've been an incredibly passionate and diligent FA Vizier. I am sorry it came to this.I thank you for your service and your willingness to allow us to find an appropriate replacement.

[Altino]

Oh, Jaysus. Y'all Nasty. x_x

[A mean old man]

I would like to remind you that Treadwellia is clearly Grub and is playing you like a fiddle. Pretty soon his devious reverse-psych tactics will have us all flying defender banners.

So what's your plan then? Coup Osiris this time?

[Roavin]

So basically Osi and us just traded places?

[Altino]

So basically Osi and us just traded places?

We are nothing if not consistently on the same page while stubbornly opposed.

[Vando0sa]

EEEP! I'm scared now.. i'ma stay hidden as a native in my own regional cluster till everyone stops being defenders..

[Boda]

Mhmm yes, so is this an apirl fools joke or nah?

I'm not putting a double-infiltration past you, Anabelle. This was obviously your long-term plan.

[Fauxia]

A strong, righteous statement from the Fraternal Order of the Grey Osirans. I hear you’re brining Roavin on to be Pharaoh.

[Unibot III]

All a part of the UDL’s devious long game in Osiris. Mahaj’s Masterplan is complete.

Honestly he would probably do a better job than some of us did.

Omg just @ me next time Syb :/

Not better than me though >:[

[South Asians]

Lol people were frequently asking GCRs to spice up things in NSGP. Sounds like they took it seriously.

I nearly said "Tim" but I didn’t want Osi to get mad at me.

I'm pretty sure you didn't even play Nationstates when I was Pharaoh, buddy.

I had a very successful first term which saw major growth in military activity, repairing numerous foreign relations damaged by the establishment of OFO 1.0, cultural expansion, and a significant increase in WA endorsement % within the region. I think became the first OFO Pharaoh to successfully run for a consecutive term, and oversaw what was ultimately a rather stagnant but not unproductive term. I got significant burnout around two months into the term, which is part of why I don't understand how some people spend years in a delegacy. That shit gets exhausting. I proceeded to not run for re-election in the third term, with Koth taking over. All in all, however, that was a very successful period for Osiris.

About 7 months later, Osiris was at a point where there wasn't really a good candidate for Pharaoh running, so I stepped in again. This turned out to be rather prudent due to the emergency of the hostile element to regional security that was The Almighty Jesus Whale. While it's certainly more chaotic in the alignment chart, I ended up suspending the election, dissolving the government, and removing Jesus Whale from the region. A short-lived "Resistance" emerged, but it was swiftly removed because it's really not that hard to do a coup right and they were quite inept. I had finals at the time, so I handed off control to Cormac and had to peace out. It really was a terrible time for the need to do such a major extrajudicial action, but what can you do.

Following that I was a bit of a shitlord, and Osiris was being a bit of a bitch, over The Islamic Republics of Iran one of their former trophies. It was tagged with TGW colors, after it was hawked, but it wasn't even held by us. Anyways TGW got proscribed, I wasn't about having to quit the best defending organization out there, so Osiris banned me which was mad lame. Kind of tarnished my vibe there, but can't deny I was a good Pharaoh mate.

I’m fully aware of the history. You rehash it every time it’s ever come up.

Believe it or not, you don’t have to have played the game at the time to hear the geezers talk about old memories. That the Osiris proscription on the Grey Wardens took place while I was still a Warden definitely helped.

[Syberis]

Omg just @ me next time Syb :/

Sorry, I meant to do that. @me.

You did fine. Also Tim is a critical part of our history.

Another thing Tim can brag about during this period: The second-place finisher in votes when Tim ran for Pharaoh the first time was Yokiria - that's me. Why is that something Tim can brag about? Because, I and Shadoke had crashed Riftend's forum 1 week before, and it came out after the vote concluded. If Tim hadn't run, Osiris' Pharaoh would have been banned from Osiris a few days after running. Osiris didn't need that.

I served 11 months of a 12 month ban from Osiris, before being pardoned by... Tim.

Poetic in a way.
