The Glory of News - SPECIAL WAR EDITION!

[Master Zen]

Sadly there's nothing funny about the current situation in the game (and I don't want to hurt sensitivities like what happened during the Lego war), but I do have one or two ideas for another edition that I might dare to post around tonight or tomorrow...

BREAKING NEWS
GoW and ND engaged!
Ceremony to take place at the United Nations


IMPERIAL CITY, GoW - The unthinkable occured a few days ago with the surprise announcement of a union between the Glory of War and Neu Demogyptica. Calling this new entity The Neu Glory of Demogypticwar (NGoDw), plans have made to formally unite the two Bobian superpowers into one single political entity over the course of the next years. "This is unprecedented" said GoW senator Donegeal, "now we not only have to bear MZ's crappy leadership, but ND's also". On the other side of the hills, the reaction from the Holy Islamic Council was similar "We renounced our sovereignty" said Zerialienguru "and all we get are ugly beared women". Depsite these misgivings, both sides maintain that a union is the best solution to emerge victorious in the war that is currently being waged against the Gathering Storm and Roleplay.

At the request of the editor, the text of this union was made public by the Imperial Palace:


PREUNION AGREEMENT

I. We, the undersigned, The Glory of War, ally-to-be, hereby obligate ourselves to support our ally-to-be, Neu Demogyptica, in the manner of military allies who assist and support their comrades loyally. If, Allah forbid, we do not continue continental residence together for whatever reason, then we now obligate ourselves to pay them 100 gold per turn, for maintenance and rushes from the day we no longer continue continental residence together, and for the duration of our union. However, this obligation to provide maintenance and rushes shall terminate if our ally refuses to appear upon due notice before the United Nations for purpose of a hearing concerning any outstanding disputes between us, or in the event that they fail to abide by the decision or recommendation of such organization.

II. We execute this document as an inducement to the union between ourselves and our ally-to-be. The obligations and conditions contained herein are executed according to all legal requirements. We acknowledge that we have effected the above obligation by means of a United Nations resolution.

III. We enter into this obligation to provide for the status, ownership, and division of territory between us, including future territory owned or to be conquered by either or both of us.

V. We agree and affirm the following

a. That we executed the agreement voluntarily (internal arm-twisting by MZ and Darekill notwithstanding);

b. That this agreement was not unconscionable when it was executed (ok, only just a wee bit);

c. That we were provided prior to the execution of the Agreement a fair and reasonable disclosure of the territory, financial obligations and F11 data of the other with no altered screenshots.

IV. We, the undersigned ally-to-be, acknowledge the acceptance of this obligation by my other ally-to-be, and in partial reliance on it agree to enter into our forthcoming union.

In witness of all of the above, GoW and ND have entered into this agreement in the City of Killdaria.


The ceremony of union shall take place at the United Nations and access is via invitation only. Formal attire is required.




World still wonders who'll be the bi tch, and who'll be the butch

Diplomatic Crisis
GoW and GS enemies and allies at the same time


BORCUM, ND - A diplomatic crisis has arisen from GoW's surprising alliance with ND as it has turned the foreign situation between GoW and GS into confusion. The root of the problem is the ongoing alliance between GoW and GS against as-yet-not-destroyed Legoland, which co-exists with the state of war which presently hangs over both nations in the Great Stormian War. "We are rather confused" says Voxian diplomat Beta. "On one hand, we do not know whether to treat GoW and GS as allies, or as enemies. It is difficult when on one hand they are bombing each other to bits while on the other they both have the same vested interest in erradicating Lego".

Yesterday's General Assembly session reflected the diplomatic chaos:

Hot_Enamel: We vow to erradicate the Gathering Storm once and for all!
Cort Haus: Your bombing of Winds of Change shall not go unpunished treacherous scum!
Hot_Enamel: Oh btw, We found out where Lego is hiding
Cort Haus: Really, where?
Hot_Enamel: North of The Hive, we sent some tanks to fight them
Cort Haus: Good, we'll try an divert a destroyer up north too
Hot_Enamel: Where were we? Oh yes, we'll raze your cities to the ground, all of them!
Cort Haus: We'll make you pay for every square foot in blood!
Hot_Enamel: We'll raze them, oh yes we will!
Cort Haus: Oh no you won't!
Hot_Enamel: Oh yes we will!
Cort Haus: Oh no you won't!
Hot_Enamel: Oh yes we will!
Cort Haus: Oh yes we will!
Hot_Enamel: Oh no you won't!
Cort_Haus: *snicker*
Hot_Enamel: Dammit...


It is unknown how long the dual war/alliance situation will last. In windows throught GoW, Arab flags are now being flown aside Stormian flags left since the Lego War. "Umm, I'm not sure if I should take it down" said a Trafalgar resident, "I'll just put both up and hope they don't start beating each other up". In the meantime, similar diplomatic exchanges will be the order of the day at the United Nations.

Heh I missed that at first.

[Krill]

I thought that was intended? The assimilation of GS into GoW, just like your wife intended, MZ...

[Master Zen]

One thing is assimilation, one thing is having Cort_Enamels, Master O's, AesOrthOdOxes, Krill32s, and Doneseuses.

[Darekill]

Not to mention DaRhothaerillekills....

I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,

Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.

I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony,

I'd like to buy the world a Coke and keep it company.

Hey that's one of our city names.

Well sort of since I had to shorten and slightly change it to make it fit.

[Master Zen]

Ok I admit it, I DID steal your location nye, but only because it was a humorous take on that first-of-a-kind ISDG election. I guess being the emperor of naughty has suited me well since then.

But still, notzeneither? I'd be the last to quote a poem like that...

[notyoueither]

So would I. Maybe two negatives cancel each other out.

BREAKING NEWS
Vox returns to Estonia
"Smells funny" say new Voxian residents


THE VOICE, ESTONIA - In an uncharaceristic show of goodwill and benevolence, The Glory of War ceded control of most of Estonia back to their ancient owners, Vox Controli, after conquering the subcontinent in 1345. "We felt it was a moral obligation for us" said GoW senator Donegeal, "over a thousand years ago we watched helplessly as Vox had to flee halfway around the world, in the minds of most GoWers, we felt we had a sacred duty to bring them back one day". That day came and a modest but moving ceremony witnessed the arrival of the first group of Voxian colonists while GoW troops handed control of major government instalations to the new Voxian civilian authorities. Vox is now in control of all of Estonia except for the port of Santa Barbara and the Elipolis canal, both of which remain under GoW sovereignty but will be handed back once the present war is over and all Spanish dissidents are nerve-stapled.

But all was not happy with the arrival of the colonists as many complained of the "strange new smell" of their old cities. Descendants of Voxian hero, HarryH, were quick to repopulate the city of Harry's Hideout. "This the place our great-great-great-great-great grandpappy used to live" said Harry Jr. Jr. Jr. Jr. Jr. Jr. Jr. "It used to smell like incense and had pictures of Persian belly dancers on the walls. Now it smells like squid and midget farts and there's a picture of Penelope Cruz instead". Similar complaints could be heard elsewhere as more people became aware of the smell of bull poo, squid guts and paella leftovers which permeate most of the cities. "I think it's going to take some time before it starts to smell like us again" said Harry Jr^3. "But I won't complain. We have our family's house again and it even comes with an undetonated Cruise Missile with the inscription 'to MrWIA with love' as a garden sculpture".

GoW celebrates 1000-year anniversary of Great Bobian War battle
Battle of Pamplona Forest turned the tide of the war decisively


IMPERIAL CITY - GoW marked the 1,000th anniversary of the Second Battle of Pamplona Forest with a rousing military parade across the Great Mall of such lavish scale which has only been since the V-B and V-L Day celebrations in 410 AD and 1275 AD respectively. The battle marked the turning point in the war in which a GS army was destroyed by an Ansar/Rider force just south of Pamplona. Over a million people flocked to the Great Mall and crowded the roofs of buildings to witness the parade which featured a stunning display of the might of the GoW Army as well as a historic tribute to the legendary Rider troops which formed the backbone of the Army during the war. Also in parade were ND troops and historical Ansar regiments which marched side-by side with GoW Riders across the Mall and past great monuments like the Arc of Aggie, the Panzerturm, and the Victory Gate ending with a rousing tribute in the war cemetaries in Enamel Park. Unsurprisingly, despite being allies during the Great Bobian War, no Lego reperesentatives were present. "We told them that we'd invite them if they disbanded their capital afterwards" said GoW diplomat Hot_Enamel. "They said no. In response we're beaming the parade via pirate satellite to their city to show them what they're missing". In an entirely unrelated event, a Full House re-run marathon had over four times the rating of the GoW parade according to Legoland TV.

The parade also served as occasion for a major national surprise: the first public playing of the Official GoW National Anthem. Written by Field Marshal UnOrthOdOx and his Rider Regiment in campaign overseas, the anthem began as a popular battle hymn sang by the troops.

Battle Hymn of the Empire

Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the War
They are trampling out the Spanish
Where the squid were ate before
They hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of the Riders seeking gore
Glory of War is marching on

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Glory of War is marching on

In the isle of the Legos
They took the fight across the sea
With a swiftness and a fury
That did change the world to be
As the smoke was barely clearing
They let loose the nukes with glee
Glory of War is marching on

[Chorus]

In the keeping of their promise
to let the Voxians be free
They have returned them to their
homeland where they should rightly be
Then sweep on through Stormia
with their eternal friends ND
Glory of War is Marching on
