Topic: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

A thread for official news about the Piranha Revolution, from yours truly, Xeno Syndicated, the only trustworthy source on the events of the Piranha Revolution in the IC universe.

During my time playing IC over the past 10 years or so, I have gained the trust of many vets and mods in this game, who have become my sources for the events of the revolution.  Recently, unbeknownst to most, they have started a revolution against certain tyrannical farming families.  It is currently an intergalactic war that shows no sign of stopping. 

This thread will be my coverage of this historic 'Piranha Revolution'.  Now, I must warn you that my coverage will not be entirely unbiased.  Let me be clear:  I hold that the vets and mods of the Piranha Revolution are the good guys; their idealism just, and their quest to bring honor back to the game of IC a noble one.  They wish to save the IC universe from the tyrant families who, without any sense of honor, hit new families and new players often with the intention of making them delete.  I am not on the side of these tyrants, and am, instead, writing in support of the Piranha Revolutionaries.

The aim of the Piranha Revolutionaries is simple: to unite small, new, start-up families in a revolution against the tyrannical farming families that plague the IC universe.  Now, as I am a minor figure of this revolution, and of little importance in the grand scheme of things, I was chosen to cover this revolution, for if I am imprisoned my corrupt mods, or my empires targeted by tyrants, so be it.  The Piranha Revolution will endure without me.
 
However, it is hoped that in recording the events of the Piranha Revolution, Piranha revolutionaries, and new players of new-start-up families will read it, and thus stay informed of the events of the Piranha Revolution, and therefore new start-up families and Piranhas everywhere, new, will know that they are fighting the tyrants alone, that their suffering and sacrifices are not in vain.  In keeping informed of the events of the revolution, it is also hoped that those players and families everywhere who are fighting against the tyrant farming families can themselves begin to support the revolution, and fight back against the oppression being wrought by these tyrants. 

To all of those who oppose us, know that imprisoning or simply executing me will be of no avail.  For the Piranha Revolution will prevail with or without my recording of its events.

Stay tuned for news as it develops.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

Hardcore4ever farmed small fam. why is his family included in the piranha category?

Poki has it all.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

lol coz they are ranked top 5

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

Melvin misunderstood, he asked why we're marked as piranhas, which we aren't.

Poki_ misunderstood, we didn't farm small fams we pulled planets at the beginning when everyone was even and retaliated to constant nukes and ops. That's hardly farming.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

how odd issit that every top fam farms.
its also odd that the toothy fishys whor whining now wil become those 'farmers' someday.

p(l)ay (with) respect for ur fellow people and dont be an arse and alot stuff can be solved properly diplomaticly. alot peops just dont bother or dont know how to speak with others.
dont blame others blame yourself! and improve to be a better person instaid.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

There will always be someone complaining Pain. The truth is xeno wouldn't care about 97 at all were we not the biggest fam to hit them... All we've done is retake stuff for quite a while and yet there are still non-cessant attacks on the same planets by them. hmm Oh well, I agree, were they in our position they'd be doing the same instead of whining.

I don't really care - but just to let you know: 97 declared war on 95, your fam is 7 times 95 in size, nw and score. That's called farming, but yes, 95's biting back.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

Thank you, Joor.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

Do other families - piranhas or otherwise - have news regarding their activities with 97?

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

Joor... we stopped on your fam for the most part. Notice they're all retakes in year 11. We finished with your fam long ago and had it not been for xeno there wouldn't have been anything for you to complain about now.

As far as being up... Whoo... good for you? We're not trying anymore, see the earlier comment and remember we were just in yet another declared war with an actual threat.

Farming... how long til they realize that ranks AFTER the bloody fight mean nothing, it's BEFORE morons

Edit: oh, one more thing. The news wouldn't claim anything if kirk wasn't taking the same planets over and over every single time

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

Lol.  You tried to smash us into deletion.  Hoping our fam would fall apart.  So you could get a huge shared core with your ally 68.

(Year 9 news is missing, but it was pretty much the same as the rest)

This fatso-pretender-piranha-corrupt-smurfing-mod-led-itty-bitty-fish-farming top fam just won't stop smashing us (18th ranked fam 95) year after year with nukes, hypnos, always trying to farm our cores.  They just can't seem to, succeed, however.

Year after year.  Year after year, just hoping we will just give up and delete. 

But we don't.  Why?  Because they have other Piranha fams putting up a fight, we're all going to be nibbling you pretender-piranha-farmers'-fam, 97, all round long.  And there's no way you will win this round because of it!  Piranhas!

To Piranhas everywhere, don't be deceived.  97 = PRETENDER PIRANHAS!!!

There's nothing Piranhas hate more than fatso-corrupt-mod-led-ityy-bitty-fish-farming fams who are pretending to be Piranhas!

Seriously, nothing tastes better to Piranhas than Pretender Piranha meat.


Piranahas!

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

We fight oppression!

We are the new improved Piranhas!

Super Piranhas!

No one really does, that's why I put what I did... there is no point responding because 90% of people know the truth, and the other 10% don't care.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

The Piranha Revolution was first initiated in the Capricorn Galaxy, during the 5th manifestation of the Universe.   A group of young mid to lower ranked overlords, family 2195, who had become fed up by the practice of planet farming by top ranked overlords, chose to fight instead of negotiating settlements with what they saw clearly as tyrant overlord families: 2197, their allies 2168.  It soon became known that the aim of the overlords in family 2197 and 2168 was to render family 2195's overlords entirely demoralized, in the hope that 2195's overlords would vacate the Capricorn Galaxy and thereby allow 2197 and 2168 equal shares of all of 2195's systems.

In universal year 4, family 2168 first took 1 system from 2195, and then demanded an additional 50 planets in return for signing a non-aggression pact, an agreement to which 2195 overlords would not be willing to comply, as it was still so early in the manifestation of the universe to expect any overlord family to pay 50 planets as compensation for anything.  The overlords of 219 only had a total of approximately 200 planets, and to hand over 50 planets at this point would have set them back for the entire manifestation of the universe. Nevertheless, understanding that 2168 and 2197 would enslaved them and farm their planets if they did not comply, the overlords of 2195 nevertheless began exploring planets for 2168 as demanded of them.   

Yet, in early universal year 5, 2197 and its allies launched a swift, clearly coordinated attack, robbing 2195 of nearly 30% percent of their total planets.

In response, the leader of 2195, Xeno of the Xeno Syndicate, called for support from the Universal Forum.  His call was for an 'Operation Piranha', in which other small families, who were likewise fed up with the top ranked farming conglomerate families farming their systems, would temporarily cooperate in standing up and fighting against tyrant farming families everywhere.

Corrupt galactic overseers, fearing 'Operation Piranha' might flare into a full-fledged revolution against their chosen families, imprisoned the insurrectionist Xeno.  However,  this only turned him into a martyr for the cause, and fueled the revolutionary spirit of overlords everywhere. Minor overlords and major overlords of both small families and large, all who despised the practice of planet-farming, were outraged.

Although unable to direct his family or administer his empire from his prison cell, Xeno was still able to participate in the Universal Forum by correspondence.  Prison guards sympathetic to the cause passed on letters which were then leaked to members of the Universal Forum.  It seemed that even within the galactic overseers themselves there was support for Xeno's call for resistance.  It was then that there was voiced not only support for a simple temporary Piranha Operation, but a full-fledged, permanent Piranha Revolution. 

But actions proved even louder than politicians' words, as various families spontaneously assaulted farming families throughout Capricorn.  Family 2197 was targeted, and was dragged into what is estimated to have been at least 4 simultaneous wars by various Piranha Revolutionary overlord families.

Overlords of family 2188, which had also been targeted by the Piranhas, suddenly experienced the might of the galactic overseers.  The galactic overseers had their armies of wizards manifest temporal anomalies which deleted many of 2188 empires from existence. Whether or not the galactic overseers responsible for the attack on 2188 were in fact Piranha Revolutionaries was not made known, however. 

And, of course, having been released from prison by supportive galactic overseers, xeno was able to return to 2195 space, and lead his armies.  However, he was not seen as the leader of the Piranha Revolution.  He made no false claims to be anything of the sort.  He was a simple, low-ranking Piranha Revolutionary.  Who the leaders of the Piranha Revolution truly were, he knew, but would not divulge.  Instead, he carried on as before, a commander of a small group of freedom fighters, their target: the top ranked overlord family 2197 and their secret allies.  Although a low-ranking family of overlords, they were filled with revolutionary zeal against the tyrant farming families, now emboldened by the knowledge that the were not alone in their valiant efforts.

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

xeno, I'm going to be extremely blunt. I personally am fed up with this "war" that has been going on between our fams for weeks now. This war is doing neither fam any good. You're partially slowing our growth a bit, but your fam's growth is stalled and stagnated. There really is no purpose for this "war" except for you to say that it's actions supporting the "piranha revolution." Due to this "war" all your fam is doing, correction: able to do, is build fleet and put almost everything into the upkeep of the fleets. Your fam has not grown even a bit except raising attackers and for what purpose? To continuously retake planets that are and will remain empty.

A war ends when one side admits they've lost and then decisions are made about who gets to keep what planets, but this massive bashing back and forth (according to you) will never end so what's the point in trying to pass the planets up? It's just a big waste of time and means your fam will never get anywhere

Re: The Official Piranha Revolution News Thread

Xeno is gone. Not even gonna read his crappy post.
