I am Genivaria, newly risen of the Emperor PDX Thread.
As I am sure all of you know, a large number of puppets with foreign backing tried to launch a syndicalist revolt two weeks ago.
To defend this wonderful community and thread, I was forced to take extreme measures.
However, had I not done so, the result would be red flags flying in the PDX Thread and every other Arts & FIction Thread in the Forum.
Innocent (Mostly) posters would've been banned from their own accounts.
Unarmed and disarmed Mods lined up against walls and trolled for all to see!
It was only by fighting with every weapon available, and every ounce of our strength, that we were able to stop the filthy Bolshe-I mean puppet spammers from coming to power!"
He paused to gather himself and continue.
"We are still fighting with puppets all across the forum!
Until the danger is well and truly crushed we will have to make even more sacrifices!
I spoke to the previous leaders, asking for their support.
They gave it to me without reservation, they voted unanimously to put the fight in my hands, and to let me do whatever is necessary to save our country from the horrors of a puppet takeover!
As a veteran of the last war I know, as so many of you do, just how terrible war is!
None of you who hear my voice could hate it more than I! But I also understand that if you must fight, you must fight as hard as you can, with nothing held back. To protect my people and my fatherland I am ready to do whatever I must! This is my sacred duty, not only as your supreme leader, but as a soldier!
And I will not let some damn Constitution, some scrap of paper, keep me from doing whatever I have to protect you and keep you safe!"
"But some say that obeying what was written down in that treaty is more important than the lives of my people! They say we must treat it like holy writ or else God will make us to suffer, or the Mods will.
I am sure that in General those are one and the same! I have received an ultimatum from Wallenburg, the self-appointed 'leader' of the aristocracy.
He demands that I resign my office, that we disarm all our soldiers, and throw away all our weapons.
He wants me to abandon my country and my people to the REDS, to let them win and murder us!
The Huskar Constitution is his God, and his God demands that all of the PDX Thread be his sacrifice!
He asks for me to run away, to save myself and let the reds win!
Well, this broadcast is being sent all over the Forum, maybe it is even being heard in their decadent Palace. If you are listening Monsieur Wallenburg, let me give you my answer."
He brought down his fist with a loud bang that could be heard clearly through the microphone.
"Never! That's my answer to you! You can stab me in the back while your puppet friends attacks me, but I won't abandon my duty!
I fought in the PDX WARS from the first shot to the last! I fought against Abbasids, Karlings, Aztecs, Ottomans, the Soviet Union, the Commonwealth, Austria, France, Japan, and a hundred other places besides.
And I never ran away! I never abandoned my soldiers! And may I burn in Hell for all of time if I do that now!
My people have a right to defend themselves!
We have a right to fight back against those who want to take everything from us! If your soldiers come here then we'll fight you!
We will fight on to the end.
We will fight you on the border, in the air and on the sea, we will fight in the fields and in the streets, we will fight in the hills and the forests; we shall never surrender!"
"And so we ask you, are you ready for a war?"
From the last iteration, a list of the community's favourite mods, paradox forum and support links and other assorted goodies such as past thread titles which are a joy to read through and more shall be added as this thread goes on, both titles, links etc :
