What's That Sound?
J.A. Lake
Trudging across the snow covered fields around Denver, members of the Bear Cavalry advance accompanied by militiamen and freedom fighters from across the country. Held in stark contrast against the sky to the west are the black clouds of oily smoke where the last vestiges of dicktatorship flicker and die in the wind.
Elated soldiers and citizen soldiers grin as they march onward, into the chaotic din. Shattered facades and blasted windows greet the new arrivals, from each hangs the stars and stripes.
The people spoke! Revolution is at hand. Dicktatorship did not suit them, and the dicktator lost (and fled to Romania, as dicktators are wont to do when faced with the wrath of the people).
Freedom comes at a cost. Unfortunately, any SFP members who also happen to be Congress members are no longer allowed play pretend on the eUS Forums. Indeed, we are unmentionable, democracy-hating traitors.
Oh, right.
Fear not, good people of the eUSA. Democracy has returned. Soon Congress will be able to vote again, and your representatives had best be reconsidered. Remember: eUS Forums-Congress voted against the revolution you voted for. They do not represent you. Our own democratically-elected Vice President has issued a blanket pardon for all those who fight for freedom! No one will be persecuted.
There is no law enforcing a dictatorship that exists within the game. There is nothing illegal happening. We are a people freeing ourselves from the shackles of dicktatorship. Any talk to the contrary clearly is speaking to a different game being played.
Do not worry about blacklists and pretend censures. This revolution serves to show the impotence of the eUS Forums. Their only threats are to ban you from their essentially useless forum. Nothing they can do will actually harm you in-game, so join the revolution! We will fight against dictatorship!
Ursa Fi, comrades! We do not break, we do not compromise our ideals, we fight for what is right!

First for the Revolution!
Revolution!
I bet gnil won't be fighting. I am starting to think he did this to get you all blacklisted.
Shhhh! Don't reveal the master plan!
Who cares? Blacklisted from what, those stupid forums? We're accomplishing something material in-game, something that actually creates entertainment and impacts the players.
Not a meaningless occupation.
Not a failed purposeless invasion.
We're fighting for change in the eUSA: Revolution.
What exactly is this going to change other than one persons profile page? The dictator will be back as soon as it can. Again you guys go radical instead of trying to do things the right way and get the law repealed first.
So much could change. We've demonstrated the impotence of the eUS forums crowd, as I said in the article. Right now they're scurrying around telling people who want nothing to do with their forum that they can no longer use their forum.
The world is still going to turn. SFP will survive being banned from someplace we don't want to be.
If the dictatorship rears its ugly head again, I feel confident we will fight it again.
There are bigger consequences that you are currently overlooking. Just saying. If you don't know em, you'll learn it very soon.
PS: I'm not against freedom, but I am against something that negatively affects eAmerica.
There's something happening here.
What it is ain't exactly clear.
REVOLUTION!
The hills were white with tranquility as justice came to America, and the people of America danced for freedom.
