	Our first public announcement Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Most of the teams have posted at least one thread in the public forum describing their government or policies. We must not miss our chance to awe the world with the great Monty Python government!

I've written up a rough draft, but I desperately need more input.




Monty Python Forms A Government

After 1000 years of insults, sarcasm and general argument (mostly consisting of contradiction of the most simple type), the odd group of people with outraaaaageous French accents, also known as Team Monty Python, have agreed on two things, the first of which is unknown, though speculation ranges from something to do with Sen. Hillary Clinton to something to do with the price of bananas in Wyoming, and the second of which is, that this sentence is way too long and must be ended immediately.

Team Monty Python has also created something which is due to explode in a few seconds: a government calling itself an Anarcho-Beaurocratic Commune. We invite the world to gaze in awe at the many branches of our political-scientific marvel.


The Despot
Owing to the outdated imperialist dogma which perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society, we have been forced to choose a figurehead dictator to represent our nation. The despot is OctavianX, and he has an impressive sword that a strange woman in a pond gave him.


The Ministry of Spam, Spam, Spam, Eggs, and Spam
This ministry is dedicated to preserving the honor of Team Monty Python by creating very impressive forum statistics. Due to the vital mission of the ministry, its member list is classified.


The Foreign Minister
The Foreign Minister is Rendelnep, Templar of Indo-African Felines and also A Major Supporter Of the "Montys against Monkeys" Party. He travelled across the world and has great understanding of the Socio- political Climate of Great Britain, Borgravia, Mercia, Austrailia and New Zealand and also Guildford. Thus He Seeem like the perfect First Commuincations Cardinal to the Exterior.
Unfortunately Rendelnep is on a Leave of Absence, so all Communication should be directed towards the Designated Players.


The Ministry of Public Anouncements
Due to the unacceptable delay of previous public anouncements, the ministers of this department have been sacked.


Minister Of Ruining Our Nation
Sir Ralph has the monumental task of giving all citizens access to lovely filth. When not creating extravagant build queues, the M.O.R.O.N. works on his secret project of cross-breeding workers with warriors to create the ultimate lumberjack.


The Bridgekeeper
Dejon protects the forums from unauthorized entry. When not asking his questions three, he does part-time work as God. He recently lost track of his son's favourite mug, and has asked the team members to find and retrieve it.


The Military Minister
Darekill led our mighty army from the very beginning at 4000BC. Unfortunately some stressful events including the formation of a second unit and the war in PTWDG1 have made it neccesary for him to take a leave of absence.


The Ministry of Silly Walks
This ministry is so important and classified that we cannot tell you anything except its name.


Cabinet Of War & Defense
This organization is dedicated to the instruction and well-being of our courageous soldiers. Only the finest strategic thinkers are accepted, and their anthem is the Song of Sir Robin. The C.O.WAR.D members are DaveMcW and LzPrst.


The Ministry of Moving to the Next Sketch
As we have no intention of being any less silly through the duration of this exercise, those responsible for creating this department have also been sacked.

I'd play with the intro a bit...

After [1000] years of insults, sarcasm and general argument (mostly consisting of contradiction of the most simple type), an odd group of people with weird French accents have done two things. Unfortunately, those two things could cause great harm to themselves in the near future. First, they established a team based on the English humor of Monty Python, despite the fact another team exists that already spoofs British humor. To this day, no one knows what the second thing is, though speculation suggests it has something to do with Sen. Hillary Clinton and a declaration of war upon Wyoming and Team Monkey.

This 'Team Monty Python' has also created something, something which is due to explode in a few seconds: a government disguised as an Anarcho-Beaurocratic Commune.

That's all I off the top of my head.

I'd like to see the abbreviation M.O.R.O.N. after my title. And I will alter between the words "Running" and "Ruining", as was initially intended (and written in the diplo note).

How about :

Ministry of Public Pronouncements

Due to the unacceptable delay of previous public pronouncements, the ministers of this department have been sacked.

Ministry of Moving to the Next Sketch

As we have no intention of being any less silly through the duration of this exercise, those responsible for this department have also been sacked.

Another thought is, in the Despot entry, how about economic and social indifferences, just for one more non sequitur twist.

I added most of the requested changes. OctavianX's got some editing and I stuck with "differences" since it is a direct Monty Python quote and flows more logically (imho).

I'll post it sometime tomorrow, hopefully with some more suggestions added!

The Ministry of Doughnuts

This new ministry is devoted to the creation and consuption of doughnuts. It's chairman (and, strangly enough, only member) is Octavian X. People accuse Prime Minister Octavian X of corruption, though he denies accusations that he only orders and eats more doughnuts.

The Military Minister
Darekill led our mighty and powerful army from the very beginning at 4000BC. Unfortunately some stressful events including the formation of a second unit and the war in PTWDG1 have made it neccesary for him to take a leave of absence. But however the single warrior he almost was able to command had almost done what he was going to command it. sadly enough he had forgotten his plans shortly before he resigned.

Ministry of How Not To Be Seen

This new ministry is devoted to its members not being seen (at least not often). Vlad Antlerkov heads it. Its other members, at present, are CivGeneral, Panzer32, Perkin Warbeck, and stuck_as_a_mac.

(Note: After this part of the announcement was written, Vlad Antlerkov was sacked for being seen too much.)
