Press Release; March 20, 20??
Edölian Ministry of Information
The Impërator of Edölia, Erik von Blätterschplitt spoke today to a crowd of assembled citizens, journalists and foreign dignitaries in front of the Imperial Palace in the capital city of Blätterschplitt. The main topic of his speech was a condemnation of Iron Blood, formally known as New Bisons, Dark Terror and The bisons. This condemnation is believed to have been triggered by recent threats made by the entity currently known as Iron Blood against the Socialist Empire as well as other nations.

”Perhaps the government of Iron Blood believes that the people of Edölia take it seriously. Perhaps they believe that their ‘prestige’ and ‘fame’ would scare the people of Free World into backing down. Once considered a threat to world peace and stability, the Bovine Menace is now merely a joke, an amusement. The people of the world are tired of their warmongering, empty threats and childish idiocy. When the Bovine Menace speaks, the world no longer listens but laughs. Nothing is more sad than a pathetic child that wants only the attention of their superiors. Such is the relationship between this… country… and the world. Like the child throwing a tantrum and breaking its toys, the Great Cow constantly reiterates its pathetic threats, screaming ‘gulag, gulag!’ and launching its nuclear strikes against small, newbish nations that know not about the world around them. The world has seen the pathos emitted by the Great Bluffing Herd and now knows that, like any other annoyance, the best course of action is to only ignore them. Somehow, the Cud Chewer has escaped the fate of Magic China, doomed to die a million nuclear deaths. No, for only one of his incarnations –his first- The Bisons, was ever destroyed in a rain of nuclear fire. He-Who-is-Full-of-Bull has a far worse fate… that of a laughing stock. The butt of the world’s jokes and the benchmark of idiocy, pointlessness and immaturity by which all others can be measured, the Great Nuclear Hamburger is nothing but a symbol of all that is wrong with the world and all that could be fixed quite easily with a simple IP ban. However… I must digress. Truly, he is not worth the energy that I have just expended. Ah, such is life. The fly that buzzes about our face causes us to slap it… A mere reflex. Such is any such reaction to the annoyance caused by… Them.”

Wow, I don't think it can ever, possibly in all the potential of human literature, be put any better.

This transcends any current conflict or current incarnation of the state formerly known as Bisons. This is by far, a definitive stance, that accurately portrays the sentiments of a large portion of the Role Playing population.

<<OOC: Don't worry, Fluffy... I'm not planning to strike first. If he wants to try to take a piece out of Edolia, he's my guest... This was mostly a work of humor.

And thanks, Agrigento. I'm pleased that you like it. :)>>

Well put, Edolia :)

Does this social stigma have any affects on the Beef Jerky's allies? Credonia seemed like a nice nation before the HLF fiasco.

Beef Jerky... Ohh... I forgot that one. Damn.

Well put, Edolia
Thanks. :)

I think you messed up Doujin's quote. it should have read:
Well put, Edolia :)

^^ lol mistakes happen :P I personally hate my copy thingie.. whenever I try to copy something I have to hit "ctrl + c, ctrl + x, ctrl + c" and then I can copy/paste.. :P

<<OOC: Yep: Fixed. Thanks.>>

This has been an OOC post by Doujin, who is to lazy to edit and or delete his last post and repost on the name Doujin

Hmmm.... Bump....

Couldn't put it better myself, good job.

We are glad that our allies approve. :)

I would've posted a more amusing picture, but I can't remember the site.

I had it bookmarked but I just formatted my hard drive.

OOC: Damn, why is it always me that has to be inbetween a rock and a hard place...?


Personally, I think your insulting yourself. You go to all the trouble to make a post about how you think bisons is a joke. It actually looks more like a invitation to attack you.

I mean, seriously, that is the kind of stuff you would say to another kid in the parking-lot after school. Telling him he's a joke so he would jump at you and you could whip his ass.

That's all I got from your post. And, that really lowers my respect for you. I expect that from bisons, but not from you...

Not at all. I have no intention of goading him into attacking me. I honestly don't care whether or not he does. I have just never seen anyone actually give a real description of how funny and pathetic he is and I figured I would give it a shot. From the feedback I have gotten, I believe that I have captured some of the feelings expressed by serious RPers and people who try to play this game as something other than a black and white, "nuke-or-be-chums" warmonger-fest.

(OOC: Edolia's not goading Bisons to attack. He's just insulting him.)

As the others have said, well put Edolia!

"Nuke-or-be-chums" :D

That's the most accurate description of the NS player base I've heard! Excellent!

Be my friend of I will kill you.

Hows that?

EDIT: Apparantly you misunderstand me....I meant "How is it that they would be someones friend if that 'friend' wanted to kill them?"

OOC: sorry, wasn't really paying attention. That method would seem to work though...

"Be my friend or me and all my other friends (who I got via this method), will come and declare war on you, just so we can post the size of our armies and marvel at our own ability to write the names of at least five different types of tank, jet, helicopter, and ship. If you don't let us win, we will flame you. We may also nuke you, because for some reason we find talking about nuclear weapons kinky. I'm going to glass you. Tee hee."

Maybe I exaggerate a little, but that's what it all looks like to me.

OOC: DOn't get me wrong, I still like you, Edolia. But that just really sounds like your provoking bisons. You know he would hate that, and you know he will do something.

I'm sorry, but either you are provoking him (could be subconsciensly) or you just forgot how he overeacts.

Meh... Look, the best way to deal with people like him is to treat him like the joke he is. Admitedly, I have been a bit more irritated by him. The problem is that he used to be kind of funny and people would throw around his famous quote "I don't RP, I annex." It was cute. But then... the charm kind of wears off and he stops being amusing. That's when I think he has to be put in his place.

If he attacks me, fine. I'll fight him, though I don't expect I'll get much enjoyment out it. He read this and sent me a threatening telegram, so I guess I got on his nerves. I've actually gotten a little bit out of the war business and reduced the size of my military significantly though, so I might not be able to give him full satisfaction.

Fiasco? :D

OOC: Yeah, I know how it goes around here. Personally, I kinda feel sorry for him. Everywhere he goes he is ridiculed for not being able to RP, though no one will try and help him.

OOC:
Who said I wanted help to start with :roll:

As I told edolia by tgram, once felines liquidated Ill be more than glad to destroy edolia as well.

<<Damn multi-post>>

*Ding ding ding! Chalk one up for the Scarlet Empire!

Impeccable timing, DT.

OOC: I never said he wanted it. I just said no one offers it to him, yet still critizes him.

OOC: I never said he wanted it. I just said no one offers it to him, yet still critizes him.

The reason no one offers him help is the same reason everyone criticizes him. He has no interest in attempting to RP decently.

Coudlnt have put it better myself.

Coudlnt have put it better myself.

Then why the fuck are you here? This is a roleplaying forum, if you don't want to roleplay then go the hell away, you pitiable jackass!

Thats even more pitiful. He's here because he wants to be. He's here to make people like you angry. And you guys just keep provoking him :roll: .

If you think he's a curse, he's of your own doing.

OOC: He keeps saying that and somehow I kind of doubt it. What I think is that this is just a cycle of behavior that mirrors his real life. Unlike in real life, he can be rejected time and again and nobody can truly exclude him short of the drastic step of an IP ban. I think that perhaps he has a bit of a social fixation with nationstates, which is evidenced by his army of ready-made puppets, and that it is perhaps best that he seeks psycological help.

OOC: Personally I keep out of his way... he may be anoying but he can't do anything if I refuse to get involved with him.

I won't judge his "allies" because they are his allies, but it does limit the relations my nation can have with them.

OOC: We applaud the player of Edolia's comments on Sulfur Urine.
IC: We applaud the leader Edolia's comments on Iron Blood.

<<Bump for kicks and giggles.>>

After reading this thread it has come to my attention on how important this actually is to me and the RBA, I only just actually remembered who Iron Blood was (What a great memory :( ) I Myself have extremely strong relations to Edolia but Iron Blood also has extremely strong relations to the RBA especially Russian Forces and since i am the Defense minister for the RBA now this could be really bad and strain relations with nations involved. We are extremely worried about this situation.

<<OOC: Forgive me... I don't remember having any relations... On the other hand, it's pretty early and my brain isn't necessarily working properly. Could you remind me?

And as I said before, this isn't due to anything in particular (I guess he threatened me for like the 50,000th time and I had an idea). It's mostly just to amuse myself and those around me.>>

That is a really offensive post. Even though i am a bovine state i find it absolutely hilarious. And the best part is that the guy you were talking about hasnt written back. What could you possibly say as a retort to that???

#Mental note, dont irritate Edolia#
