Pie vs Cake

“I'm making a quote relating to Pie vs Cake.”

~ Captain Obvious on Pie

“Ooh! I love cake! It has frosting.”

~ Oscar Wilde on Cake

“I like both Pie and Cake equally. What's the big fuss about?”

~ A local simpleton on Pie vs Cake

“A Pie vs. a cake is like a blackwater mobile team member vs. an innocent iraqi civilian - the result is beyond obvious.”

~ Eponmoncho on Pie

Pie vs Cake is, essentially, a long-running dispute that is rumoured to have come into existence before time itself. Many do not understand the argument - "Pie vs Cake?", they say, "Well, I like both equally", they say. These simple-minded idiots have retreated behind a wall in their mind (probably caused by all the kitten huffing) and refused to accept the reality of a battle of fundamental forces that manifests itself in our day-to-day lives. Those enlightened to the grand scheme of Pie vs Cake call such braindead morons 'People Who Do Not Understand Why Pie/Cake Is Better Than Pie/Cake' (Or PWDNUWP/CIBTP/C, for short), and have them rounded up for re-education in a Pie Facility or Cake Compound. 36.8% survive.

Factions

There are two major factions involved in the dispute; on the side of Cake stands The People's International Educatory Standards of United Cake Keepers (PIESUCKS), a movement that began on 12/10/06 (12 October 2006) and is based in the specially constructed town of Cakingworth in the Swiss Alps (pop. 70,000). The movement began later than its Pie supporting counterpart, though its world influence is growing fast. Their most notable achievement so far is having the Greek letter Pi renamed Kaike. The Keepers are led by a mysterious man known only as Cakechrist. It is widely thought that he is a member of the rapidly growing number of minor versions of Jesus (Jesii). He has appeared at number three on the Pie-siding FBI's most wanted list, behind only Santa Claus and the Master Chief, both of whom have supported Cake from the start.

They are opposed violently by The Grand Alliance in Favour of Pie (GAFP), who, while not being as good as their enemy in the field of creating amusing acronyms, have been around longer and have had a headstart in almost all ways. Their stronghold is located in an area of the Pacific Ocean, 2500 metres below the surface. 499 Piemasters live in the commune, presided over by Grand Ultimate Lord King Dave of Pie. Their records hold that the movement was established "Between the creation of the Universe and the final movie of the original Star Trek". Each of the elite Piemasters traditionally wears a simple brown robe with the emblem of a large pie splashed across the front and, as stated clearly by the rules, more jewellery than Mr T.

Pie vs Cake first began to seep into politics in the year negative 1298, when Tony Blair Sr. of the People's Free Republic of Heaven-on-Earth declared his government and country firmly on the side of Cake. Retaliation soon followed; the Confederated Regions of the Moon joined the side of Pie and were quickly joined by the United Provinces of Swedemark and Belgistan. Tensions escalated to the point where, in Heaven-on-Earth, the crime of disliking any variety of Cake was punishable by instant suicide - the government had the country so totally under control that anybody who caught themselves thinking such thoughts would immediately jam a specially issued power drill down their throat. In Swedemark & Belgistan, armed guards randomly shot pedestrians daily to illustrate exactly how much the public should hate Cake. Exactly why this was so was never uncovered, but the guard seemed to have fun so that was all fine and dandy. However, the situation soon spiralled out of control and the three great countries went to war.

The First Great PvC War

In the year -1347, the first ever official war based around Pie vs Cake was declared by Heaven-on-Earth against the Moon and Swedemark & Belgistan. The first major battle in the war was that in the Valley of Slyphtx, two miles inside S&B borders. 400,000 men bearing the sign of Cake gathered at one end of the valley in strict lines while 500,000 marched below the flag of Pie at the other end. At 7 p.m. on the 36th of Smarch, the battle began. After two minutes, the battle collapsed into an uncontrolled melee in which over 450 trillion were killed and fourteen wounded. No clear winner emerged. Many other battle in the same vein would follow, until the Moon invented the C-bomb. The C-bomb was a weapon of war that contained seventy tonnes of cake that nobody could possibly like. Three years into the war, the first wave of bombs were launched. It was a disaster for the side of Cake; all 86 million of its population instantly killed themselves with power drills. The government's own ludicrous policies had let them down. The final death toll of the war was put at between 8 and 12864 to the 87464673509326.

The First Great Ceasefire

Heaven-on-Earth had been destroyed, and the banners of Pie flew high and proud. But the war was not over yet - Tony Blair Sr.'s last act as he fought the impulse to drill his brains out was to send a signal to the Cake Mothership, which was in orbit around Jupiter with 10,000 loyal Cake supporters held in suspended animation, and the recently escaped Cakechrist. The signal woke the members and caused the mothership to return to Earth, since renamed 'Planet Pie'. The mothership landed in Central Park in the former New York City, then called 'Pastry Central'. By Smarch that year, they had taken three billion square miles of the planet, and had created a Clone Army. The borders clashed in the centre of Australia, and the Second Great War began. Leading to pie commiting suicide and cake stabbing themselves with a knife than jumping of a clif sing he we go again by some singer.
