Request for Aid
We see that you are members of the Malton Uprising, and therefor opponents of tyranny and oppression. We wish to bring your attention to another case of tyranny and oppression. The Imperium, which also is a member of the Uprising, has launched three attacks now on the Gibsonton Squatters, without any bloodshed from the Squatters in return. These attacks have been aimed to silence our voices and drive us from the suburb they seek hegemony over. We are badly outnumbered and fighting to save ourselves from total destruction. This is exactly the kind of action the Malton Uprising was meant to oppose. We beg you, as free people, to oppose this action, either by cutting ties with the Imperium or by aiding us in our struggle for autonomy and liberty from their rule. --Fenian 03:30, 5 April 2010 (BST)
- Please note that the Squatters have been harassing us for some time using intentionally inflammatory rhetoric and outright insults, and that they were the first to threaten war if we did not accede to their ridiculous and humiliating demands listed on the Imperium's talk page (toward the bottom of the "Murder" section).--Scott Timewell Imperium CFT 03:41, 5 April 2010 (BST)
- Please note that their first murder was before our rhetoric became more confrontational, and that we have never harmed an Imperium member. We believe in free speech, and having been murdered more than once by this group for our exercise of our speech, our demands were nothing less than reasonable. Such thuggery cannot be condoned. These thugs are anti-revolutionary and may come for you someday if we do not stop them now. --Fenian 04:50, 5 April 2010 (BST)
It looks to me like you need to review your history Fenian. Do I sound familiar? I started the Uprising, and the group before that inflamed people enough to make the uprising possible. I told you that I was once like you. The revolution will not come about the way you are trying. We need to have a private chat. --Alphy 17:33, 6 April 2010 (BST)
- You misunderstand our intent- we are not initiating violence in the name of revolution. We were pursuing revolution by cultural means and the spreading of revolutionary thought, and were attacked. We act in self-defense. --Fenian 17:38, 6 April 2010 (BST)
Well the people you are summoning to your aid will not further your goal.--Alphy 21:21, 6 April 2010 (BST)
- Well, that said, there's no need to threaten us about it. We're already fighting an Imperialist group, we don't need to start fighting other revolutionaries. I must speak plainly, and do not mean to inflame you, but to appeal to the better angels of your nature, or, so failing, be frank in my opinion. Your group has previously allied with anarchists against oppressive groups, and stands for both freedom of speech and the freedom of groups from the laws of larger groups- such as Imperium laws against heresy and dissent. This is a clearly cut case in which we are a revolutionary group being attacked by a larger group for voicing opinions against their claimed ownership of the suburb of Gibsonton. Will all of this be thrown away because the groups we contacted for aid include PKers? We are being murdered daily. We are being hunted. When we can strike back at our oppressors, we seek any hand that will help. If for this, you would abandon us and Gibsonton to the iron boot of Imperium slavery, or enter the battle on the side of our oppressors, so be it. But don't expect us to consider you comrades in the revolutionary struggle, if you would disregard its principles. --Fenian 05:55, 8 April 2010 (BST)
- If we're so oppressive, why aren't any of Gibsonton's other inhabitants joining you? It isn't exactly a secret that we're at war, and surely they would be eager to strike back against the hated overlords. For that matter, why aren't we at war with the Beavers, or the Crocodile worshippers, or the Aces? Not even Benzuli is interested, and we actually were at war with them once.--Scott Timewell Imperium CFT 06:57, 8 April 2010 (BST)
- The fact that the ungrouped survivors of Gibsonton have, with the exception of your spies, been neglecting to reveal our locations to you, and have been revealing yours to us, speaks volumes. --Fenian 15:54, 8 April 2010 (BST)
- What spies? All members of the Imperium are required to wear their tags at all times or risk expulsion from the group. To quote the Lord General, "Either you are proud to be an Imperial, or you are no Imperial at all." The fact that you assume anyone who doesn't share your irrational hatred must secretly be one of us speaks speaks more volumes than the words of a few bystanders. All that shows is people like the underdog. If they had any real interest, they would do more than gossip.--Scott Timewell Imperium CFT 23:48, 8 April 2010 (BST)
- The spy that stood in our midst as we debated terms, and that now inhabits our home with your filthy occupying scum. That spy. --Fenian 01:23, 9 April 2010 (BST)
- Does this supposed spy have a name?--Scott Timewell Imperium CFT 01:33, 9 April 2010 (BST)
- Klausen. One of our members witnessed him reporting the details of our discussion before the war started. --Fenian 02:30, 9 April 2010 (BST)
- And since there's clearly no possibility that the brutally oppressed Gibsonton citizenry would ever side with a group dedicated to defended the suburb from the undead hordes over a lawless band of malcontents, he must be a spy instead of merely a pro-Imperium civilian.--Scott Timewell Imperium CFT 02:41, 9 April 2010 (BST)
- Lawless? Who murdered, RKed, and GKed before this war even began, and didn't punish the criminals among their ranks who did it? Who seems to hold themselves above their own laws when it suits them to get a group of malcontents to shut up? There's a difference between lawless and masterless. We are masterless, not lawless.
