Very good, Live Wire. Happy to meet you. I'll look for some sort of Rules of Engagement -- perhaps on KA's web site. But it sounds like we have the matter pretty well settled for now.

Mr. Isotopia, Sir: Please do not feel put-upon. Experimenting is good. Testing the edges of the envelope is good. We all need our compass re-calibrated from time to time -- I know I do.

Battle stations!

Iso: RE Herring Huggers -- Thank you for the howl (- of merriment, presumably). Amazing what a little alliteration can do, isn't it (said the English major).

But how am I going to get any work done from now on???

The point is moot as long as the work is for the cause of Apokiliptika supremacy and Norwegian annihilation.

Elliot-welcome to the Kamp Apokiliptika thread. Yes, choose sides or remain independent but make the decision rapidly. IP-Triangulation vans have been dispatched from the Rommel Building (new KASTAPO HQ) at BRC and are, even at this moment, homing in on your posts.

Even if we do not track you down, certainly a friend, relative or fellow McFrench fry chef will denounce you to the Kastapo....it is simply a matter of survival. The fact that you have a "decision" to make leaves us wondering about your purity right from the start....we have a file on you now...

LiveWire wrote:Well spoken Elliot.....an even worse picture it is not fun anymore. Not fun at all....
LW-while I agree with you on a personal level, I also understand that posting a photo of Barney the Dinosaur collaborating with Heinrich Himmler and Reinhard Heydrich (while fucking hilarious to me) could be seen as being in bad taste. If it makes you feel any better, understand that we at Apokiliptika have zero control over what is posted here or what someone says or does. That lack of control and the possibility of being shocked is a small price to pay for the freedom of this forum.

This must offend somebody!! C'mon people!!!

...and we won't be talking REAL history regarding who was occupied and what happened because then we will piss of the French people who most certainly are monitoring our every move.

The French surrendering....AGAIN!!!

Back to the war!!!

Thank you for the kind welcome, Major.

It will always be difficult -- indeed, impossible -- for each participant to determine for certain how an image or idea will be received. This is understood and accepted, I think. Friendly feedback (Mom -- Elliot is alliterating again!) should take care of any grossness gauge re-calibration that might be necessary.

I get the freedom of speach thing Major, Iso and all you good Apokiliptikans. And I see you understand my freedom of wanting to vomit from time to time. Disagreement is the principle of war.

I feel the same way as Live Wire does about that last picture from Isotopika.
It’s not because it’s targeted at Norwegians, it’s just sick for me.
I would have felt exactly the same if it was written Kamp Apokiliptika or whatever on that picture, It's just to much real world. Sad sad thing.
I just don’t get it at all.

But when someone says "Norwegians steals organs from children" with an even worse picture it is not fun anymore. Not fun at all. We are doing an artisic, fun, parodic war here. I really felt a physical sickness when I saw it at work today. It may be art for some (and supported by KA), but I don't like that art. It sort of makes me not want to do this thing anymore.
It is safe to say that most Americans are not aware of the events of WWII in Norway and why this might be considered offensive to Norwegians (or even why many Europeans find using nazi images offensive). I admit I felt a little uneasy over that one also, given the history...

...during WWII the German SS established homes for pregnant Norwegian women to have their babies (they did this in all occupied countries). The babies were then taken (often without consent) and given to SS familes in Germany to raise as German, complete with falsified backgrounds and names. Of course, this was only available to Norwegian women of the "proper" genetic heritage (blond hair, blue eyes, etc). This created a horrible mess after the war, and no doubt affects the Norwegian psyche somewhat like the slavery issue affects American psyche...

...perhaps such imagery is best avoided in the future...

Whatever your decision, will still be subject to intense interrogation. ALL are subject to intense interrogation.

We also have signed confession from YOU. Doom becomes imminent.

And to close... if a question of reach of tentacles was there... wonder no more. New "pet" from Apokiliptika Labs...

"Norwegians steals organs from children" with an even worse picture it is not fun anymore. Not fun at all. We are doing an artisic, fun, parodic war here.
Parody suggesting the operative term here.

OK, folks. The herring in the Norwegian's ass probably was a bit far for some of your sensibilities. I removed it. I apologized. I was sincere in that apology. Even though the dig was as much at myself and my own partial Norwegian ancestry as anyone else's.

But Jesus fucking Christ. Posting a picture of a dead child? Me? Are you fucking kidding?

Would you like me to send you the no shit *National Geographic I got that photo from? I'll risk temporarily derailing the humor train here when I suggest to you Barb that you just might wanna take a fucking chill pill. Your mewing call for a moderator is, in my mind, equally - if not more offensive - as your misinterpretation of the photo I posted above. Really, fuck you.

*From an article on the Ukraine in which the photo in question shows doctors cooling down a child on ice for a fever and the bag being a crude oxygen tent. - if memory serves me correctly.

Just leave all your pictures where they are. Tasteless for some, but they are a part of the history of this thread. That's the price one has to pay as the Major so well put it. If shocking is the standard, fine. It's time to start attacking Americans in general. Hey, it's war. And you are all fucking doomed. We are all fucking doomed, all in the same fucking fishing boat. Yaaaahooo!!

Now, Elliot, about that scoop [whizzzz...]

First, anyone not INTIMATELY familiar with Apokiliptika needs to:

1. Be struck repeatedly with a rubber hose while imprisoned in a dank basement within the Rommel Building.

2. Read the "Mission Statement" of our Great Leader, the Kernul and his kohorts who founded this amazing place (see also apokiliptika.com):


“A culture chic camp and participant ensemble, in which it is always, always, the day before the end of the world. Theater is evident, and you never can tell just what might be real- or if what you see is real. The inhabitants of this camp live in a world which is a blend of SCI-FI world-end-military-industrio-sovietski fascism, or something like one of Rumsfeld‘s suggestions for more practical military adventures- yes, over the top, permanent military-pseudo-science-cultural purgatory.” Hope and Fear personified!

Second, the day we have to stop using the vivid facist and sovietski imagery from the net and our kreative minds is the day our doom has truly okkurred. It's kind of like I tell the pinheads here in Central Florida that cannot stand the idea of a strip club...."DON'T FUCKING GO IN".

There must be some
"Ooooh....who wants to do a Daisy Camp?" thread here more appropriate for those who would censor our facist parodies....

Major has a very good point. This thread is build on Apokiliptik terms. So they are in their right to attack anyone they want. And I mean the whole world. So where do we fit in here? We don't (well, maybe as one tiny country on this planet we do). You shouldn't fight this war against a tiny trio from Norway. The world is in KA's hands.
The whole of BRC should be in here fighting KA. Doom is chaos and destruction, right? We are way too few, we're not in your league. If there were 30-40 of us it would be another ballgame. Guess that won't ever happen. Or am I wrong?

In other developments the Uncanny Alliance is pleased to announce the newest addition to our research tools and purely defensive arsenal: Polar Array 1.

This new radar station uses 16 primary and 4 backup 20ft tall antennas that can detect ionospheric convection within a 3000 km range. This new system is strategically placed to take advantage of the "Ozone Hole" that's developed over Antartica and puts it interestingly enough under the path of a few polar orbiting spy satellites/orbiting weapons platforms.

The Alliance is pleased to announce that Polar Array 1 is now fully operational and ready to perform it's myriad duties if called upon.

You simply join a long list of humbled enemies who ended up pulling up a stool at the Kantina Apokiliptika, took a long drag on a PBR and said "hmmmm...that was smart, take on the most powerful fake military in history of Burning Man...." <<<<sigh>>>>

Perhaps I should shift my propoganda expertise on portions of asia and the southern hemisphere? They seems to have slipped by somewhat unscathed from Apokoliptika's razor's edge observations.

Hey, all you squabbling kids -- here is a neat quote from the Apokiliptika web site:

"A long term goal of APOKILIPTIKA as a collective of artists and creators, is to foster collaboration and expand capabilities for creativity in the other 51 weeks as well.""

And in closing, the Kernul says: "PARTICIPATE!"

We ought be able to play together on that basis!

And that for the record is why I'm here. I'm trying to learn Paint Shop Pro and then work into Photoshop so I can make posters and other art. Judging from the quality of the imagery already posted I've got a lot of learning and experimenting to do. A whole lot!

We at KA definitely got your point. And if you are dropping the white flag and picking up the stylus (sword) yet again, we look forward to krushing your spirits further.

....and regardless of whether you ever surrender, we do expect you to drop by the Kantina for an Apokiliptika Martini (Pabst Blue Ribbon in the can!!).....

Major, have you checked the orbit of the Apokiliptika Doomstar lately? It appears to be slowing down and dropping further into the atmosphere. Perhaps you should prepare for an unplanned deorbiting of your observation post. At the current rate of descent our tracking systems show that the bulk of the debris that survives re-entry may land....of all places in the Black Rock Desert? Hmmmmm, now that's an interesting coincidence!
