[Drop Your Pants]

Good thing you didn't last a day then

Yarr! We boarded her good! We swapped our wrist blades for scimitars and traded shadows for the murks of the sea! With silence, we slid out of the water and onto her deck with nary a peep. We've already set the torch and the flames are beginning to rise. My brothers who donned a salty guise and took the pirates were:

Venico the Night Father
Raider Cormac
and Raxion

We flew our flag and some more swashbucklers be coming into town to help us make sure that the ship be burned. Thanks to those scurvy birds, over at The Black Hawks, they're a tremendous help.

NOW ONTO THE RUM!

[Raider Cormac]

Five defenders walked the plank at minor update. We've still got a couple stowaways but they'll be taking their turn on the plank at major. *makes Pirate noises*

[Daynor]

That was not my finest update.

The stowaways won the day!

[Venico The Night Father]

Congratulations to the stow aways! That raid was too much fun, too bad I couldn't stay point for too long. We should do more themed raids in the future, getting into character is so much fun!

[Drop Your Pants]

We're doing themed updates as well So far we've had a Dinosaur one and trying to plan a Fratt one.

The Brotherhood of Malice Takes Osiris

---

We are The Brotherhood of Malice. We have taken Osiris.

For far too long so-called "defender" subversives have exercised an iron grip over Osiris. Virtually every major defender organization or region has attempted to manipulate and control Osiris: the 10000 Islands Treaty Organization (TITO) through initial control of the Delegacy and first Delegate election; the Founderless Regions Alliance (FRA) through election of their former Archchancellor, Zaolat, as the first elected Delegate, and by binding Osiran foreign affairs to defense of FRA member region The Rejected Realms through the Pan-Sinker Security Pact; the United Defenders League (UDL) through cosmopolitan vote stacking, brief control of the Osiran military, and alliance with Lyanna Stark near the conclusion of her successive terms as Pharaoh of Osiris. Even a relatively new defender region, Spiritus, attempted to establish a permanent military force within Osiris following the July 2013 coup d'etat by The Dourian Embassy.

No one has been more successful in establishing hegemony over Osiris than the last dusty remnants of the Alliance Defense Network (ADN) and the Red Liberty Alliance (RLA) operating under the aegis of The Empire. Having repudiated traditional defenderism in favor of habitual Feeder and Sinker coups d'etat following collapse of the ADN and the RLA, The Empire nevertheless sought to establish the gameplay neutral framework in Osiris that has been so favorable to defender subversives in other Feeders and Sinkers and expertly used ADN and RLA style tactics to establish and maintain that framework. Although imperialistic in their ambitions, as all senior defenders truly are, The Empire has ultimately pursued defender interests using the tired tactics of defender subversion in Osiris every step of the way. This agenda has been to the detriment of the people of Osiris, plunging the region into chronic inactivity interrupted only by short bursts of intense civil unrest.

The history of Osiris illustrates the true nature of so-called "defenderism." Dressed in the trappings of feel-good defense of native rights, defenderism is actually about securing power to pursue the ambitions of senior defenders and control over others and their regions. Defenders use the plight of so-called "natives" -- many of which are the puppets of defender subversives, used to keep these regions weak and under defender "protection" -- in irrelevant founderless regions to build sympathy and support for their cause. All the while they manipulate the masses to support their bids for power in regions that hold real power and relevance in interregional affairs. Nowhere has this been more true than in the Feeders and Sinkers, and in no Feeder or Sinker has it been seen more clearly in recent years than in Osiris. The ultimate agenda of so-called "defenders" is, in a word, domination, and defender subversives have dominated Osiris and manipulated her people for their own ends since the region's inception.

The hegemony of defender subversives established at the birth of Osiris and reasserted throughout the region's history ends today with the occupation of Osiris by The Brotherhood of Malice. We in the Brotherhood declare war against all those who abuse Osiris, their regions and their organizations whether directly or indirectly under their rule. We will oppose them in every Feeder and Sinker, in every founderless region, and never again will their power over Osiris be restored. Our goals in Osiris are simple in their detail if challenging in their execution:

1) We will sweep away from Osiris the defender subversives collaborating in and through the paramilitary terrorist organization known as The Empire like the cobwebs in the attic of NationStates that they have become. Biyah, Dalimbar, Neo Kervoskia, and Neenee, among others, will never again rule over Osiris or find safe haven for their agenda here.

2) We will purge from Osiris the less competent but more numerous footsoldiers of defender subversion, including but not limited to UDL Chief of the Band Mahaj, UDL Chief of Intelligence Campinia, FRA Archchancellor Flowering Staplers, FRA Regional Assembly representative and Spiritus Founder Tim Stark, and former FRA Archchancellor and Mordor Founder Wopruthien.

To the true regional community of Osiris: You have nothing to fear from this occupation by The Brotherhood of Malice provided that you cooperate with us and our aims. If you do not oppose us, we will guarantee you eventual governance of your community. We will promise you a region free of all manipulation by defender subversives. Be warned, however, that anyone who takes the side of the defender subversives with whom we are at war will share in their fate. We control Osiris, we have an insurmountable arsenal of regional influence and the forces to maintain control of Osiris, and those who oppose us will be permanently exiled from Osiris. There will be no mercy, no negotiation, no future pardon for those who choose to make themselves enemies of The Brotherhood of Malice. Choose your side wisely.

Members of the Osiran community as well as friends and allies are encouraged to register on the new offsite forum and participate in our new regional community and government, the Osiris Fraternal Order.

We are The Brotherhood of Malice. We have taken Osiris. This first battle in the war against defender subversives is only the beginning. Let this be a lesson to all who embrace their rule or provide them safe haven.

Venico the Night Father

Vizier of Osiris

[Benevolent Thomas]

Is this what Cormac meant when he put "Winter is coming" on the WFE a little while back?

[Kantrian Recruiter]

Mother of fucking Christ. And now every UDL conspiracy about Osiris since the end of the Douria Incident gets to be counted as 'correct'.

You're not helping Venico.

Well it wasn't TNI/LKE, so that part of the conspiracy theories can still be called baseless

[Cerian Quilor]

Clearly UIAF is still behind it, because they're the source of all evil in nationstates - after all, wasn't NES just promoted to Vizier of Inteligence? Obviously a preparation for this coup.

More likely, Biyah decided to be a poor sport about the change in positions and thus prompting the forum move, but really, I have no clue, and honestly, I almost don't even care.

More likely, Biyah decided to be a little bitch about the change in positions and thus prompting the forum move, but really, I have no clue, and honestly, I almost don't even care.

Biyah's not even the root admin of the forums.

[Cerian Quilor]

He doesn't need to be Root to be causing problems.

And I really don't know, but its a hell of a lot more likely than UIAF being behind it. UIAF isn't this blatant.

[Durkadurkiranistan II]

Cheers!

[Cerian Quilor]

Cheers!

Just to check, you don't have access to the WAD this time, right?

[The Saturnian Republic]

Nobody's even accused you yet, Cerian. It's only been like ten minutes.

I don't think the Brotherhood of Malice is UIAF's speed, honestly. But did you notice Cormac changed his name again?

[Cerian Quilor]

He changed it a while ago, and just wait for it, Saturn. Just wait for it.

[Cormac A Stark]

This does not confirm any conspiracy theories being pushed by defender subversives who have never had the best interests of Osiris in mind.

All this confirms is that there is a problem in Osiris and that problem can be easily identified. For far too long the stewards of the region -- its Delegates -- have known that the problem exists but either have refused to do anything to resolve it or were unsuccessful, and usually were burnt for even trying. The problem, put simply, is The Empire. They have stood in the way of any progress in Osiris, ensuring that the structure remains such that they can retain power and fighting tooth and nail against any changes, any small measure of progress, that would see their power weakened. They have been treating Osiris as their own personal sandbox and the only way to stop them, after others have tried more political and diplomatic approaches, is through force.

We mean the Osiran regional community, of which we are a part, no harm. In fact, we are hoping to give Osiris a more truly independent community free of the kind of manipulation Osiris has seen since its birth. That is the goal of this occupation and it's a goal we're already working toward with a new offsite forum and a new government structure.

The United Imperial Armed Forces, or others in the so-called "imperialist sphere," had nothing to do with this. They have been strong allies to Osiris, nothing more, and we hope they will continue to be strong allies to Osiris. We hope for their support as well as the support of all regions and organizations that would like to see an Osiris free of subversive manipulation by The Empire and other defenders.

[Feuer Ritter]

Don't be mad people, just sit, watch and enjoy the show. Coups don't happen that often you know

Congratz to Venico and Koth for pulling this of, good work guys.

[Ambroscus Koth]

This was not the work of anyone except the 3 of us listed in the WFE. Don't underestimate the power of brotherhood.

I'll be happy to sit down and talk with anyone who needs clarification on our modus operandi in Osiris. We mean no harm to anyone who hasn't harmed the region.

[Karputsk]

Pathetic.

[Someone Special]

Biyah is going to blow a gasket when he wakes up to this.

We should all take this moment to prepare.
