Lord Ravenclaw

Forgive me for this, but I am compelled to comment: Whatever Cormac may have said, he also unbanned the Guardian (Elegarth and any others who were banned, if any); untagged the region, resigned from the WA and helped restore TWP to TWP. In this case, actions speak louder than words, and honestly, it's entirely possible that the original message was a front in order to make what Ivo was expecting to come next more believable. Had he not, then it's possible TWP would still be in DEN hands, and I would still be communicating with various militaries to wake them up, as I did within the first 12hrs of URA going crazy. Actions speak louder than words, had Cormac wished harm, then he would have done his best to perputate that. It's clear to me that he didn't, and through good fortune, TWP is safely in native hands once again. And he also managed to get back at TBRDEN for problems they attempted to cause with Osiris in the past.

I truly am sorry to hear that Eli. My thoughts are with you. ~Raven

It's not so much that I'm offended on him betting when I'll retire, only that he bet such a small sum of money on it.

Well I suppose I should be glad to see that you aren't publicly betting on when I'll retire (anymore). Like I saw in Gameplay.

Also - despite us having an embassy here, I realised that an appropriate embassy wasn't made on TNGE's forum. I have now corrected that. ~Raven

I may not be part of Osiris anymore IH, but erm... thanks for that. >.>

*bangs his head against the wall*

I wasn't aware that information on the conference was public knowledge? I have certainly been interested in what will be discussed... interesting. A conference on regional sovreignty becoming a war confererence. Stranger things have happened but what should be remembered that each region is just that: sovereign and not beholden to any others.

Congratulations Dark!

Crack out the chocolate and crimson rum. I think that is the only way any of us will actually manage to read the propaganda that'll be spewing forward from everyone with half a brain without retching.

I no longer have any participation in Osiris, let alone citizenship and I can't remember the layout of any of the above.

It may have been in one of the old cities residential/foreign districts, and there were plenty of them or in the West or South Pacifican embassies.

erm, whose bedroom? I didn't have a bedroom, I had a nest at the top of a tower.

That and you seem to be everywhere at once. It got so bad that I asked my cabinet to consider tying you down to a room in the great pyramid but we could never get a consensus on which room.

Hello there! Osiris would like to say how much it appreciates The West Pacific's support at this time as we move to a new society in order to repair the divisions in our society caused by the various civil strife that we've experienced over the last 15 months. Osiris would also like to say that it misses the presence of Darkesia on our RMB and would welcome her gleefully back to the region in order to keep the RMB on more positive topics, continuing the valuable and essential efforts she has so graciously performed for us during the last few difficult events. We would be prepared to fund her travel through first class travel using funds confiscated from Empire members. Yours, Raven Minister of Foreign Affairs to Warrior Pharaoh Venico

Unfortunately, regional politics is a messy game, and I am sad that I have to post the following message. I have always found The West Pacific to be a welcoming community and I have respect for its members, however, as so happens in politics, our regions have followed different paths, thus I am posting this missive from the Osiran Government. The Government of the Kemetic Republic of Osiris, under the direction of Pharaoh Treize Dreizehn would like to establish the following regarding the events of the 11th of May 2013: We, the Government of Osiris, recognize the statements released by The South Pacific's Cabinet as a necessary declaration - if heartbreaking to read. It is a sad day when The South Pacific feels that it cannot trust a sister feeder to guarantee its sovereignty and come to its aid when under threat from external forces. What it does not expect, and rightly so, is for a sister feeder to then recognise the illegitimate government with actions from its government. Osiris recognises, and is greatly disappointed, with the actions and reasoning of The West Pacific Imperium and the decisions of their Delegate-Designate in recent times. We feel those actions must be commented on by this government. So quick was the Delegate of The West Pacific Imperium to call for aid from regions with Off-Site Governments (including Osiris) during its own time of strife. Then to turn and denounce the off-site government in its recognition of Milograd's regime was hypocritical, self-serving and spineless. One could agree with the need to be pragmatic in times of conflict, but when a decision conflicts with both your own government's legitimacy and the legitimacy of every region who has an off-site government, one must question the logic behind such a declaration. The West Pacific Imperium is not Caput Mundi, and every action has a consequence. That is to say, it is not the capital of the world, and whilst it may have the luxury of picking and choosing its friends, enemies and protectorates, it must show some consideration to regions which have existed for as long (or longer) than it has. Recent events point to a startling lack of consideration to its Feeder-Sinker relations. The West Pacific has greatly disappointed Osiris with their actions, actions perpetrated by a region we considered an important historical pillar in NationStates. Their blatant disregard for another region's sovereignty, which itself also has as considerable a history and standing in the NationStates world, has left with no other option but to recall our Ambassador and begin appropriate closure of all embassies. From this point on, Osiris and The West Pacific have no formal relations.

On behalf of Osiris, I thank you profoundly for this honour. I am shocked to speechlessness at your gesture.

Haha thank you everyone ^^ However, I have a formal announcement: Stasi Incorporated is being officially recalled to Osiris after his nation CTE. He also failed to post the Winter Update in good time. The Direwolves will be taking over with immediate affect.

I look forward to reading them in the future then! Thank you, I'll know what's happening later - I've only just gotten online today after I spent about 16 hours dealing with the mess yesterday.

You're quite welcome! It was fun to write.
