Aspermont, W.L.- It’s almost the New Year, submit your Empire Image of Year candidates from the past or vote for them to see which image is the most important one to affect us
Irishkaiser - As we close the year 2014 which is basically our Annus Mirabilis, it is good to look back at what has transpired over us , fortunately, it was mostly beneficial and the Company has achieved a position of strength after strength after strength, only bothered by the spoiled selfish brats of the Nigger Watch and their raids on our subreddit because they cannot reconcile with different opinions much less truth… and of course the Stupid Saturdays!
The opening year of 2014 started off good with the end of 2013 being the true start of our fortunes with the official adoption of the Regiment system, subdividing the Company into different regiments and creating a localized economy of effort. The start of the year 2014 showed the fruits of the Regimental system as through the separate efforts and economies united to produce high profit incomes and fighting off premium attacks with relative ease. Though Stupid Saturdays affected us terribly, we weathered on and managed to stay true to our homeserver, despite being now an endangered kin. We still existing is all that matters, and from our existence can spring forth maybe new existence..? Who knows. Maybe it’ll be us bringing in a new MineZ population, one can never tell. This was also the year where our enemy, the Eternal Premium received serious blows as finally the admins decided to get off their high horse and admit that they were wrong.
The first quarter of 2014 was marked with more anti-premium rhetoric, not only from hurt regulars, but also from other premiums themselves. Eventually changes were made and peace between the two player groups is increasingly common. Though the Eternal Premium still holds the ears of many an admin and some even hold SEATS among the admins, their influence and power has diminished over time and the other player groups are being represented more fairly.
Another good thing is the leaving of multiple evil people who want nothing more than to advance their own selfish interests at the costs of other people. Glitchy101, Juicy, and Beast2x(though he came back, he isn’t as dangerous before and he is practically by appearance impotent in the going on of things). True many other Eternal Premiums left, but these ones I mentioned were the most difficult and dangerous for they were protected by their admin friends who are too proud to admit that they are a liability or even BULLIES to the other players, preferring instead to call those who called them out on their bullying as the bullies.
The Company has also become a household name, with a 50/50 chance of being known by any individual player you meet. Whether it be through our efforts in battle in the field and on the forum, the name UTC has been associated with the South and of course glorious cheap Chinese products. Many people actually talk about us(well, we know this for a fact already) in a myth-like manner, making rumors such as being banned for racist hate speech or something.
And this time, NO YouTubers to back us up this year. It was YOU. Yes, every ONE of YOU in this clan right now has been a part of it. You’ve made them known us through YOUR gallant deeds. Thanks to YOU.
Even when the other Eternal Premium of the Niggers Watch came in trying to silence your fellows, you helped stand in the way to protect freedom of speech, liberty and decency. Their efforts have backfired even amongst the forums and the reddit, and now they’re sitting more on the cesspit of regret and irrelevance, consoling themselves by thinking it’s HARD WORK TO CHANGE A FEW WORDS IN A PRE-WRITTEN OATH MADE BY SOMEONE ELSE thinking they’re so progressive and enlightened enough to mention it when all they’re doing is showing them how retarded they are when it comes to human rights and decency that they consider that to be hard work.
And despite your differences towards each other(guy, boonut and Gun interchangeably hating each other) you all fight as one against the common foe and respect each other’s strengths and weaknesses some even take pride in them. Even when Guy says something stupid, boonut will back his right to say it. Even when Gun does something cowardly, Guy would never abandon him if worst comes to worse(though Gun might abandon guy lol).
You all bear your criticism and counter-criticism well… Most of the time, even you boonut. Even you recognize how stupid you can get especially with that comment about how veterans are welfare queens and how you saw lots of homeless veterans so they, according to you, are welfare queens.
And thanks to Bob Nob, we finally have our own Drill Server filled with excellent builds too, that many comment are even better than those at MineZ 2. Here are some images of our beautiful server with our grand vision on how we perceive MineZ. In there, we drill every week to make sure we can withstand premium assaults. Many of us who thought we were good at one thing discovered we were very deficient because of this and because we constantly test and criticize each other, we get better and we deal with problems better. THUS IS OUR WAY A LIFE OF WAR.
And though we face the new challenges of raising a completely new regiment out of the blue currently called the Volunteers, we have actually turned them out to be decent and capable individual players. Unfortunately, we don’t know how to pick out leaders yet, but I remain optimistic that we can find a leader amongst them… Hopefully…
And my address to the standing Regiments of the Company, the backbone of our unity through our individual identity and separateness.
To the 222nd
You carry with you the long history of the Company, many of our members were there at the start and though only few of us remain here now, it was through your perseverance and hard discipline that served as the core of the future UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company, reminding everyone our traditional values of honesty to the point of rudeness, perseverance in the face of grim odds, industry, pride and courage against adversity that may very well embody the UTC’s culture and way of life. None think of the Company and the 222nd apart, all think of the 222nd as the Company. The 222nd, though sometimes pompous and arrogant to the other regiments, knows it has shed enough blood and sweat to warrant a claim on their arrogance. I am proud of you and proud to be a part of you, Gallant Old Guard.
To the 95th
You are almost as old as the 222nd and yet few know of you. You people are the silent workhorse of the Company, working the most menial jobs(and even enjoying it) quietly giving out hard labor, expecting no rewards. Without you, even the Old Guard would find it hard in persevering to meet demands! The Quiet job, you have made a name of yourselves from. You have even taken it among yourselves to gather the legendaries that was supposed to be the job of the other regiment, the 93rd! How I envy your quiet steadiness! Many of our trade runs could not have happened without your meritorious labour!
To the 93rd
Currently the youngest of our regiments but has already done so much! Never before has a regiment expressed such independent identity from each other and with a very dynamic playerbase as well. I’m not even sure if your members are actually half the Company itself! There is always someone new to hear from you people every month. Though at times soft and some would say too proud, this Regiment has done services that many in our ranks would not have done at all. It is they who are currently running our presence in MineZ 2 alone and without major support or help from the other company members - making them do everything! One cannot blame them for their inclination to play it easy considering how such a grind it is in MineZ 2 to get something done, though the Old Guard grumbles at their lack of zealotry and the Greenjackets shrug and even disprove of their prices, both regiments admire at least the dedication of the Virtues Regiment to each other.
To the Volunteers
You are not a regiment yet, and my only problem is to find a head, but all of you are improving in a rate that exceeds my expectations. You have also made it easy for me to discover how to train players easier. I HOPE YOU WILL ALL EXPERIENCE THE SCARS OF WAR AS WE HAVE. GOTT MITT UNS

Trade Run started in Gun’s Ghetto and they all just… Went to Asindia. And sold out. Just like that. The Directory expresses concern for Gun and his preferences for always going easy, fearing that lack of effort or fear of shame would make them all soft and spoiled and less inclined to do duty for want of quick gratification like the whores they are.

Round 1
The Drill took almost an hour to start with the Universe attempting to throw everything it could to stop it. We persisted and repeatedly beat up the Universe so we could start, even though it was a 2v3. For this the Universe shall receive our eternal ire for attempting to defy the Will of the UNKNOWN [?] Trading Company. Death to the Universe.
The teams started along the Road to Crowmure. Vergath was repeatedly lagging and overall useless in the fight, but lived rather long strangely FOR OLD GUARDSMEN DO NOT DIE EASY, BUT DIE HARD. Fighting was static and no decisive moves were made despite superiors numbers because of Cami’s ineptness when it comes to an attack, preferring to play it safe. In the end, Cami died anyway. Then Sahlgutmir was OUTNUMBERED, OUTFLANKED AND OUTFOUGHT AND DIED.
Round 2
Similar situation except starting areas were reversed. Vergath could not at all fight and the group decided to just put him down GLORIOUSLY to speed up the fight. Sahlgutmir conducted a fighting retreat but could not withstand 3 people attacking him at the same time. He died in the river near Aspermont to Guy762. Death to the Universe.
Round 3
Fighting moved to Lazerville, with Irishkaiser switching sides to substitute for Vergath whose many battle wounds and lag stopped him from fighting, much to his sadness. He began fighting his internet after. The drill became a 2v2 as The Old Guard Bingo Team decided to stay in the village Althing before moving onwards, hoping to draw them in, unfortunately Cami’s ineptness retarded any progress and the Bingo Team decided to meet them instead. It took awhile before they made contact as the 95th had the advantage of surprise but wasted it by the lack of movement and aggressiveness.
A close-ranged bow battle was fought and Guy attempted to charge, but Cami was still inept and refused support. Guy’s sword strikes were clumsy at best and he took more hits trying to hit us than we ever did trying to hit him. The two were killed in a very anti-climactic fight.
BE THERE FOR FIREWORKS AWESOME.
To remove the useless from the ranks, if nobody vouches for these three people by the New Year, they’ll be kicked.
