The Protectorate (Kebir Blue)

James, how do you arrive at the conclusion that it is "an excuse to control others"?

Membership is voluntary and one of the benefits of membership is to receive military support, 100% military support in this case, in times of war from well established players such as Parsifal and Crafty as well as the other members who are at an appropriate war level to participate in war against other players. Therefore, it is fair that complete freedom should be curtailed in some form or another.

If you do not agree with this then please feel free to say why.

Incidentally, I post from an impartial standpoint. I never actually joined The Protectorate as I wished to stay free from Federations as an econ player and therefore in no position to aid fellow members in war, plus I have since left KB.

He who bows to might, loses his right.

And he who doesnt winds up like Sadman Hussein or Osama Bin-liner. LMAO

Ohhh no he won't crafty Vladimir's not on his own in this world, he's got me as an ally now, and solaris I was never talking about the games membership and rules, im just saying at times i've seen other people bully weaker players into federations in this game but also thats how the way the world is today in real life

---------------------------------------------------------------
Rise up, O victims of oppression,
For the tyrants fear your might!
Don't cling so hard to your possessions,
For you have nothing if you have no rights!
Let racist ignorance be ended,
For respect makes the empires fall;
Freedom is merely privilege-extended,
Unless enjoyed by one and all!

So, come brothers and sisters,
For the struggle carries on!
The Internationale unites the world in song!
So, comrades, come rally,
For this is the time and place;
The International Ideal,
Unites the Human race!

Let no one build walls to divide us,
Walls of hatred, nor walls of stone.
So greet the dawn and come and join us,
We'll live together or we'll die alone!
In our world, poisoned by exploitation,
Those who've taken, now they must give,
And end the vanity of nations,
We've but one Earth on which to live!

So come brothers and sisters,
For the struggle carries on!
The Internationale unites the world in song!
So, comrades, come rally,
For this is the time and place;
The International Ideal,
Unites the Human race!

Nothing is worth giving up freedom. Those who sacrifice freedom are fools.

Ironic that you'd use a song symbolic with the creation of a repressive dictatorship responsible for the mass murder of at least ten million people.

Which one are you talking about Scarlet? Adolf Hitler or Joesef Stalin?

Stalin was responsible for the mass murder, not Lenin.

What do you think of Stalin as a leader? im getting interested in your opinions, and also send me some more of those deals if you know what I mean.

Eh, I don't like Stalin. He was psychotic and crazy.

Loool, Vlad has James as an ally now O.o

I'm rushing off now to warn my fed.

Nah, second thoughts, can't be bothered to waste my time.

/me yawns

IN YOUR FACE for those who disagreed with my Large empires poll, as I won the poll 19 to 17.

James...19 to 17 still probably won't be implemented. thats not decisive at all.

honestly polls don't matter, they throw out what they want anyways

how did a protectorate recruitment thread get derailed?

Idk. I am not looking for a fight anyway. I was just commenting on how little freedom they had.

You're funny Josias god knows how this recruitment thread got derailed, probularly I had something to do with it. Also Vladimir maybe the results were not decisive but at least I won which I did'nt even expect, I was losing heavilly 2 - 6 from the start.

I gotta go with Josias about the polls. My long range siege gun poll won by a landslide but they threw it out anyway.

They already have Conventional Missile Batteries which can hit every location on the planet last I checked. There's no need for another one . . . and if it didn't fire missiles (MIB immune), then the weapon would be completely broken.

I was thinking more along the lines of big berthas. They were used extensively by Germany in WWI to shell French cities from 70 miles away. It wouldn't fire missiles, it would fire man-sized artillery shells out of a huge cannon, and it would only be able to aim at big targets like cities. There would be a difference between what I am describing and conventional missile batteries. Also, you couldn't attack defenses with it, you could only attack the targets themselves. And consider the range. A huge gun wouldn't have the range that a missile would have because there is a limit to how much powder you could pack into the shells. What is considered "long range" for artillery is considered "short range" for missiles. You could fire on a country that was maybe 3 countries away from you.

Wow what started as a page on recruitment ended in Soviet Propaganga and Democratic results. LOL.
Long live the protectorate.

Amazing Conventional Missiles can hit anywhere but nuclear arms were unrealistically limited. Gaaah!

Hello Protectorate. I am a new new player and looking to find a federation on KB.

It's nice to see the Protectorate still going.

Thank you David.

LONG LIVE THE PROTECTORATE!
