After months of peace and liberty, the Escapist President has had enough. A rogue separatist branch of the Escapist had formed their own illegitimate government. The secessionists called themselves Escapia, and they had to be stopped, lest the entire site fragment into warring factions. there is only one man with the force of will to lead an assault on the rebel insurgents. Darth Mobius is that man.

"My fellow Escapists,"

"I come before you today with grave news of an insidious new danger. They call themselves Escapians, but they are nothing less than rebels and traitors to the Empire. Under my Second Galactic Empire, we have had peace and prosperity, but now these rebels are threatening that peace. We must move to stop them. As such, I am enacting the military treaties I signed with my fellow Sith Lord, Darth Corruptus, as well as any and all members of the SDP and loyal Escapist residents. Today is our chance to fight for and defend our great Empire. Today is the day we stand against Tyrants like Optimus Prime and those who he has bribed to stand behind him. Today, We fight for GLORY AND FREEDOM!"

A great roar went up from the crowd as he turned to his flag-Captain.

"Ready my fleet and the Army. Today we shall begin this war as only an Escapist can."

Within three hours of the order, a fleet of 24 Star Destroyers escorted three Super Star Destroyers and two Interdictor Cruisers on their maiden voyage to war.

I don't care who I fight for, as long as I can brutally slaughter things. Will you accept my offer as a sociopathic hitman?

Is this the thing that Danzorz PMed me about. He said I was a general or something.

Ehh, whatever. I'll fight.

static.....crackling.......BEEP!

"Sir, message coming in from The Ragnarok."

"Put it through the speakers."

Darth Corruptus, this is top priority. I have declared war on Escapia. You are now going to fulfill your duties as my general, as we previously agreed. Make the jump to Hyperspace and rendezvous with my fleet there. You will receive briefing and your orders when you arrive. End message.

"Open a channel to all ships in this fleet."

"Yes, my Lord."

"All ships of the Iron Grip Fleet. We have received orders from Darth Mobius. Finally, we will have the action we have all been craving. Finally, we are going to WAR!"

A great battle cry arises from the crews of the ten Imperical Star Destroyers and the one of a kind Incinerator Class Super Star Destroyer, Corruptus' flagship The Encroaching Darkness.

Message to the Sith Lord. The fleet is underway.

No, that was his attempt at his own army. This refers to Escapia, the new "leaders". I think that we should support our President in this fight. I offer my services sirrah!

This has all gotten far, far too silly.

I do believe I'll side with...neither.

Edit; Actually, on second thought, I think I'll side with the mods.

Remember what I said about teaming up in the Escapia thread? Well, that still stands. I can at least ferry you in my fleet, and you could help me come up with a new flagship named after Norse gods. Also, we could slaughter innocents. I'm feeling a little too good right now.

Finally it is official.
Darth Eternum, as one of the apprentice candidates for Darth Mobius, remained unidentified in the crowd. Hooded, he made his way out of the hall, content with the late reaction.
"Captain, prepare the Deceiving Enlightenment."
"Yes sir. Uh, for what sir?"
"We are going to war."

Awesome! I'm going to like fighting for the real President, not the imposter. My Flagship is named The Expletive Deleted . If I could steal the honour, can I have Norse? You can have Greek!

As my only Norse named ship was blown up by Xitel (Grumbles and shakes fist) Sure. I like the sound of 'Zeus' Lightning'. I already have Hydra Warships, Erebus Treasury and transport ships, and Hermes Fighters to defend them. As well as Trident Bombers for tactical strikes. The Hammer of Thor exploded though, so I suppose, Greek will have to do.

Also, we really need to actually attempt to organize that/those UK meet-up(s) we spoke about.

This is The Escapist. When are things not silly?

There was a time on the Escapist when none of this kind of silliness was around. Before there was the massive boom of new members. I only came in right at the end of that and right when new people started to rush in. If only we could go back to the more sophisticated Escapist. I side with Qayin on this one.

Seeing as how I have certain "obligations" to fulfil, I shall join Lord Xitel on the side of Escapia (I assume that is the side he will choose).

Just go to Off-topic if you want that. This is Forum Games and RP. We do have sophistication here, just in smaller amounts than elsewhere. Take Trepidation as an example of sophistication here. And take PMHBKBN(President Mobius has been kidnapped by ninjas) as an example of crazy fun.

Agreed, the sophisticated Escapist forums would be something to miss. However, I do not find it is lost. It is more as if there are two separate dimensions of the Escapist. I suppose this depends on if one can ignore all the bad effects brought on by less sophisticated new members. In the same sense, many new members are very constructive, productive and talented, like a fresh breeze to it all. This thing, however, is nothing short of fun. ^_^

Finally. I was waiting for you to smite them good since long, Master. I have been stewing with rage over their lack of structure, any kind of logic and their abundance of language rape.

I am there, my lord. They seem to not want a fight, and no one is putting up one. Their leader is cowering in fear, yet to reply. Neither has he governed his so called "country" with any hard work. It is cracking at the seams without any provocation at all.

Woah, stop, pause, hold right there. Now we're openly belittling Optimus Prime?

This is poor form, dedicating a new thread to a war against a user is one thing, but Invading that user's game, and now acting like elitist dicks towards him is too far.

Which leads me on to my next 'bah humbug';

Sorry all, the Escapist already has a King.

There's fun and games, and then there's singling out a new user, for the purpose of, what, an RP-war?

Personally, I hope the mods intervene. Yes, this is a pseudo-RP, but a fictional RP-war is still way over the top. Is this how we welcome new users now?

Forget silly, this is downright awful.

Even though our army would like to cut some heads off, but we know you are to strong for us, we know we have no chance!
*Stands on knees* Please! we don't want this, why is such a small peice of the escapist is so important for you? And yes, we have a king, buts its like the UK, there is a king, but he doesn't rule the gorverment, everbody just likes him and he symbolizes our contry.

I would disagree, but then I realized that A) This is true and B) I don't care right now. See, I'm not in it to attack Optimus Prime. I don't care about his country, I don't care about the war. I do care, however, about this...

Except that I have a fleet bristling with high energy lasers, a sword that transforms into a lightning bolt that gives me godlike powers, an the support of more than three major Greek pantheon gods. Execution will not be an option. Especially since Darth Mobius wants you head.

well scince weve all been genticly enhanced and r invunerable to all puny weapons such as yours...and now we bitch slap you with our god like dick your now pinned to a metalic croos for the rest of escapias existance...

side note it has also come to my attention that there is a force sheild protecting all of escapia from any attack so i declare this day in the name of our king optimus prime all escapians hail lord of all optimus

Do I really have to respond to this? Really? Bitch slapped by a god like dick... Even Ultrajoe couldn't respond to that without lapsing into a fury. A fury I say!

umm no one cares your dead and it was ment as an wait wait wait your nothing i have no reason to explain shit to scum such as you

... I don't like HL Plague 666. At all. He's the only reason I take part. Yes, I'm singling out a user, but only after he has given me good reason.

A representative eh? Of what then? You will have to proclaim your beliefs and officially submit under the rule of our President.

Nah, just staying in character. I don't have anything against the guy.. apart from his thread being so devoid of correct language usage. I've already greeted him heartily before he decided to make this country, as I do with many new 'Pists. They're dear to me. =)
He is the king of the country. That's the only reason I'm singling him out. You're right in that much pressure from several users here might have a negative effect on him, and that's not what I intended. I've started correspondence with him, but he's slow in answering now and then.

As for invading his thread.. I think we owe him an official declaration and presentation of his adversaries. So far I have yet to hear any complaints from him about it, but if he does have anything against it, I shall naturally cease. You do make a good point.

Best to have the battle (if there is going to be one) in a seperate thread. You know, an even field and all that.

That's an idea. They might not show up though, some of them don't seem to have ventured outside of the Escapia thread. And they might not show up anyway, as they seem to be against a battle.
