Greetings, everyone.
To all - recently the faction known as the Robine declared hostility towards Vaktovia, this insolence will not be tolerated! We, the Vaktovian Empire, accept this as an act of war and declare the Robine an enemy of Vaktovia. They will be shown what happens to those who cross the supreme beings in the Universe! To non-roleplay matters, in this announcement I will explain why we are conducting this war the way we are and how we believe it is of great importance to the future of the clan world we encourage this way of warfare.
To Vaktovians on an internal matter - over the past few days our community has been experiencing some clashing of personalities as well as concerns over the fair process of law enforcement by the High Command. I am making this announcement to clearly address this issue and put it to rest once and for all. It is vital we fix the ways we communicate with each other. We currently communicate with each other in certain ways because we are of the grown up age to understand certain statements, specifically terms that could be considered insults and can be seen as 'bullying' to younger crowds. As Vaktovia continues its quest to broaden its horizons by focusing on roleplay rather than elitism, the new generation of roleplayers (who tend to be between the ages of 10-13) will be joining and learning more about our clan, we cannot keep speaking and joking to each other like we are all 18-21. As adults, we must be careful to what we say around younger people, especially those below the age of 14, because even the slightest of unintended insults can make a major impact towards them. Think of the younger generations and how they will grow up to become Vaktovians themselves, think of how your actions and behaviour will influence their choices. This is a great responsibility and must not be misused or disregarded.
Vaktovia has always been a proud nation of strong ideals, we have always striven to be professional and disciplined in both our hearts and minds. Even in the early days of the Coalition, even when all we had was a Recruitment Centre, we still worked hard to be more strict and dedicated than any of the top clans. The fact we were the first clan to instate laws requiring correct grammar at all times is a testament to our efforts to be sophisticated and refined. That is not to say we haven't enjoyed our service to Vaktovia, are a serious people, but we have serious fun. If all we cared about was 'fun at any cost' we would be no different than the savages in the super clans of the old days where most members were only there to get VIP at their games. If we were not so strict, so disciplined, so professional, so dedicated to our roleplay - well, we wouldn't be Vaktovia at all. This is precisely why we're trying to bring Vaktovia back to our origins of roleplay and fun, rather than stressing over competitive sport-like wars and the 'win at any cost' thought process most clans use now. We are likely to blame for a lot of how the clan world has become obsessed with skill and winning, since we were so competitive back when we started the Empire. Now however, we wish to redeem ourselves and right our past wrongs by conducting our wars and overall operations in a roleplay fashion, in order to encourage the clan world to shift back towards the good days of roleplay-focused fun and seeing each other as nations rather than RCL teams.
So, that is why it is of the highest priority to each and every Vaktovian that you uphold the Vaktovian way of thinking, the Vaktovian mindset, or you risk losing the very thing that makes you and Vaktovia so special and unique. This doesn't mean digging up dirt on people, or trying to bait them into breaking a law, or reporting them for every little thing they do wrong, upholding Vaktovia's way of thinking is about inner self and learning to see the bigger picture of Vaktovia as the main importance rather than our own personal disagreements. Law breakers should be reported so that crime and corruption are not able to spread under our noses *however* Vaktovians should not 'want' to report, you should be careful not to enjoy reporting people. You should want the best for your fellow Vaktovians, to help them improve themselves and save them from getting in trouble by letting them know they've done something wrong but in a friendly manner. You should only ever report someone when they have clearly shown they do not want to get better and mainly when they are refusing to cease breaking the law, rather than if they made one mistake they didn't mean to, as that would be something they could fix themselves without needing a punishment. Now for those of you who came to us from clans that taught you very different ways to behave, we understand it can be difficult to adapt to a new mindset, and such a strict one at that. We really do wish to give as many people as possible a chance to enjoy what we have created together, but at the same time we simply cannot jeopardise the sanctity of our culture, we must uphold the virtues that make us Vaktovia and if that means barring those who cannot adapt to think and act like a Vaktovian then so be it.

[SECOND PART]
I will not name names, but there have been people in our ranks that have simply not been conducting themselves in a sophisticated Vaktovian-like manner. We cannot allow anyone to be hurting Vaktovia's way of life by bringing in 'millennial' attitudes of meming and trolling, the sort of thing you'd expect of a C&Ger, not a Vaktovian! Vaktovia is a place for refined intellectuals who care about our ideals and truly relate to our beliefs. If you're someone who only looks to have fun, chase adrenaline rushes and win raids all the time then I respectfully advise and request you to look to another clan for this, as Vaktovia is not meant to just be a raid clan, it is predominantly a roleplay group - you will only upset and damage our community by pushing for it to be this elite PMC you are looking for.
Now for those of you who do fit into the roleplay mindset of a Vaktovian, I wish to remind you of the importance of how you treat one another. Throughout the many centuries life has existed on Earth, organisms have evolved to survive and gain dominance over their competition, to kill swifter, to move quicker, to see clearer, to hear better, to multiply faster. All trying to find the way to impunity in nature, whether that be eliminating the opposition, evading all possible threats, or hiding so well they are never even spotted. But amongst all these millions of species, all the incomprehensibly complex cells, who would ever suspect the holy grail, the key to world domination, was simply the ability to make a large variety of mouth noises and the intelligence to make use of them? The ability to communicate was the tool Mankind used to build civilisations and conquer the globe, the means for such social creatures to express their thoughts and define their hopes and dreams, this was the power of speech. But the power of speech did not end there, for with its vast potential speech did not only grant the means to create, but also to destroy like never before possible, to bring evil into the world and torment upon the meek. Empires have risen and fallen through it, life and death summoned at the behest of it, it is the most powerful and most dangerous tool and weapon we will ever possess.
Speech, my Vaktovians, speech is your greatest asset, and I implore you to reflect upon this and understand the importance of using it wisely. You have the power to bring great joy or great pain to your comrades, even unintentionally. I cannot stress enough how incredibly serious it is and crucial that you do not misuse this power, that you handle it with great care and always be considerate for those who may be affected by it, both online and in real life. We are one people, a united nation, our enemy is not within our ranks but within ourselves, we must always remember that winning in an argument is not a victory - it is a loss for Vaktovia for the argument to have started in the first place. We must all think about the greater good of Vaktovia as a whole and act with the interests of our people's future. Working together shoulder to shoulder and spirits united is the only way Vaktovia can prosper and progress into the future - it is each of your responsibilities to spread positivity and friendly spirit to your brothers and sisters in arms, for getting hot-headed over any matter only hurts Vaktovia's unity. Uphold the values that make us Vaktovians - honour, bravery, loyalty, supremacy.
I hope this has shed light on the important points about how to be a true Vaktovian, how to improve the way we go about the clan world in general and what sort of traits are considered to be undesirable and should be corrected within yourself. Remember, if you are ever in doubt, the Officer Corps and High Command are here to support you and counsel you to clear up any concerns you may have. Vaktovia is a place of safety, for those who think the same way we do, so remember, you are among friends.
Also to clarify confusions regarding Law 14 - it prohibits negative remarks and negativity in the form of sarcasm or jokes regardless of on or off duty. This does not mean all jokes are against the law, as jokes are only negative if they're making fun of someone, demeaning them or talking bad about something.
Glory to Vaktovia! |

Nicely written.. I will take this to my fireplace and read it like I have been with A Song of Ice and Fire.
Will take twice as long though, since Vaktus is like an Author..
