Lottario is awesome, but so are olives, so Lottario must be an olive.

How it started
In the eyes of Lylia Kinkaydia Rose.

The idea to create TYR was originally started by Lord Vachon of the former Azag-Ornec and some of his friends. However, this part of the history requires Lord Vachon to write, because I, Lylia Kinkaydia Rose of Star Gazing do not know what happened. It wasn't until October 3, 2008 that I met with Lord Vachon to do some catching up. We eventually started talking about possibly making an alliance together. This was the start of the current TYR.

Originally, the charter of TYR made the alliance to be somewhat of an anarchy with a temporary government in place if there's ever some kind of emergency. I didn't like the idea of that and said we should make TYR a dictatorship with a triumvirate structure. Days later, the idea was no longer favored, so Lord Vachon and I changed the government to a democracy. It was during this time that Didgeridoos, NeoMetal, and Phi Sigma Kappa 1 joined the journey.

After deciding that we will not find a protector, friends of mine informed me that there were more tech raiders today than there were in the past. Despite the fact that I am probably one of the most stubborn asses in Planet Bob, the growth of my membership always comes first. So Lord Vachon and I then agreed that I will approach the Commonwealth of Sovereign Nations - or CSN - for a protectorate treaty. Around the same time, a close friend of mine advised me to get a temporary government up.

When CSN approved the idea, I got started on drafting the treaty. I realized that if we were to set up a temporary government, we would need more members than what we already have... so I started recruiting. Many nations responded to me with positive messages, but at the end, the ones to jump on the train were Noellae, Islamland, New Amsterdam, Romana and VentureCorp.

Now, with the protectorate treaty drafted and a temporary government in place, all we needed was CSN's signature.

On November 2, 2008, the protectorate treaty was official. TYR was official. Our announcement was made.

The Nine Worlds of TYR

Touching Your Rectum
This started in the original TYR, as told by Lord Vachon, during a discussion about changing the alliance name to suit the general mentality of the founders. It was Sir Goode who came up with the name, and Lylia Kinkaydia Rose (Lanna) fell in love with it at first sight. She was caught saying, "I like Touching Your Rectum." Lord Vachon declared the words to be the official "bitch quote" of the alliance.

Super-awesome-amazing-TYR-just-for-Lottario
Lottario gets his own super-awesome-amazing-TYR because he is cool like that.

As far as we know about Lottario's TYR, its population is 2. The first is, of course, our adorable Lottario, and the second is a giant pink bunny. What Lottario and this bunny does in this world, we don't know... and we don't think we wanna know.

The most notable thing about the Super-awesome-amazing-TYR-just-for-Lottario is that it is home to the biggest oven in the universe because Lottario likes cookies.

Also, he is an olive. Olives are awesome.

DirtDiver's Fan Club
This started in TYR's "Guess who will post next" game by Stryker, in this post. II. Thou Shall Allow Thy Neighbor Equal Rights Too. III. If Thou Did Not Ejaculate Inside Her or Him, It Is Not Rape Or Adultery. IV. Thou May Take From The Condom Jar For DirtDiver Hates Using Condoms. V. Thou Shall Not Blindfold Thy Neighbor And Push Them Down The Stairs. VI. Thou Shall Not Use DirtDiver's Name For Any Purposes, But Naughtiness. VII. Thou Shall Give DirtDiver A Red Rose Every 13 Days To Prove Your Loyalty. VIII. Thou Shall Only Be Forgiven If Thou Ask DirtDiver For Forgiveness. IX. Thou Shall Attend DirtDiver's Monthly Naked Party, Or Die. X. Thou Shall Always Thank DirtDiver For The Great Sex Thou Just Experienced.
 * The Ten Commandments
 * I. Thou Shall Watch The Unit For DirtDiver Loves The Show So Dearly.

Extended Membership

 * Forum Smileys Have Feelings Too! Act
 * In the interest of peace, equality and siblinghood, TYR hereby extends membership protection to the alliance's forum smileys.
 * The forum smileys may be used without permission from the smileys in question provided that the use of the smileys in question is appropriate. Should a forum smiley feels that its service has been violated, they may report to the Professional Pleaser at Your Service for justice to this madness, via a TYR member.

This was a movement started by Lanna, and supported by the government of the alliance along with a few insane members, like CreativName and Lottario.

Poledancing

 * "Yay! Finally somewhere that my unique skills are accepted and appreciated!" 
 * - Lottario

The day that TYR announced its declaration of existence, Lanna started a topic on the forum telling the interim Councilor of Internal Affairs, thecooljuice, to be the alliance's official poledancer. Why Lanna did this, we do not remember, but our guess is that someone probably mind-controlled our dear member to do this. The great news was that thecooljuice accepted the title immediately.

On January 15th, 2009, TYR lost thecooljuice and the nation of Noellae to inactivity.

In TYR's Short News of 1/23/2009, Herbert of the Foreign Division was announced as the new official poledancer.
 * "We are ecstatic to announce that The Foreign Division's Senator - Herbert - will be serving as our official poledancer until we are able to find a replacement!
 * For as long as thecooljuice was with us, TYR was living on her income that she got from poledancing. We felt like a bankrupted alliance til Herbert came along to rescue us from the cold.
 * o/ Herbert!"

Today, Herbert is still the official poledancer of TYR.

Prodding Revolution
On May 21st... Lanna[TYR]: prod?  * CreativName prods IG-756 Lanna[TYR]: What is prodding? CreativName: poking, I think... like this:  * CreativName prods Lanna Lanna[TYR]: Ahhh!  * Lanna[TYR] prods Creativ.  * CreativName prods Lanna CreativName: this is fun :) Lanna[TYR]: lol  * Lanna[TYR] prods Creativ. CreativName: :)  * Death has joined #tyr Death: heyhey  * Lanna[TYR] prods Death. Lanna[TYR]: Prodding should be the new fad in TYR, guys. Lanna[TYR]: Lets start a revolution and make this happen.
 *  * IG-756 prods Lanna

However, Lanna had to leave IRC soon after that and announced that the prodding revolution would start the next day. Then on May 25th, a new forum game, Prod the Above Poster, was introduced to the alliance. The game grew famous among member nations of TYR, while visiting diplomats are rather confused about this whole revolution.

Like all revolutions, there are always more than one party... otherwise it wouldn't be a revolution, right? While Stryker tries not to be so violent, he's in support of probing rather than prodding. SOMEONE, TAKE CARE OF THIS BAD PERSON FOR US, DAMN IT!

&lt;3 Stryker.

As a result of this Prodding Revolution, a way of greeting someone was invented by CreativName. It is known as the hugglepervprod, and it's actually as it sounds. However, we understand that there are newbies out there, so let us teach you how to hugglepervprod like the pros of TYR!
 * 1. Go up to a random person.
 * 2. Huggle said random person.
 * 3. Perv on said random person.
 * 4. Prod said random person.

Now, if you get slapped... it's not our fault! So make sure you do it to the right people in order to ensure that you won't get hurt after hugglepervprodding.
