War on Microsoft

The War on Microsoft, also sometimes referred to as The War on Terror, not to be confused with TWAT, began with the sacking of Light's Afghanistan by Microsoft's forces. It was a war fought with technology sometimes up to 2000 years out of date. For two weeks, Microsoft and Light forces were involved in small skirmishes, until the November Incident, where the ruling despot of Microsoft went out in public to insult the ruler of Light, and also the ruler of Apple. Unfortunately for Microsoft, this brought Apple into the war, and the two have begun an aggressive push against Microsoft since then.

The war has gone against Microsoft's favour, with the Forces of Light capturing the fortress-city of Outlook, and decimating a Microsoft army, led by the inexperienced lieutenant G. W. Bush, the brother of the brilliant commander Gwa Bush, at the Battle Of The Fields Of Explorer, although the siege of the city of Explorer was lifted, and the 13th Light Division was forced to fall back to Outlook.

Participants

The Microsoft Dominion

The Microsoft Dominion, with its capital at Washington XP, is a militarily strong, though economically weak nation that lies on the east of the Northern Lands. It is ruled by a virgin, short, ugly, virgin, single, virgin dictator Bill Gates, who just happens to be a virgin. The main bureaucratic institutions of the nation are the Office of Oxymorons, the Office of Morons, the Microsoft Office, the Office of Gate Worship and the National Office of Getting Gates Laid, sometimes referred to as OpenGGL. It is rumored that the nation has links with the known outlaw Satan. No official comment has been made by Microsoft on the matter.

The Light Empire

The Light Empire, with its seat at Linux, is average in military strength, but has a strong economy, and borders the Microsoft Dominion to the east---or is it west?---. It is led by a democratically elected Parliament. The current Chancellor is the esteemed Aragog II.

Apple

The Apple monarchy is the power in the Northern Lands, with both a strong military and economy. Unfortunately, it's territory encompases an area slightly smaller than my basement. Its seat lies at the ancient city of Macintosh, and it borders both the Microsoft Dominion and the Light Empire to the north (meaning it's in the south). Its ruling monarch is Steve I.

Origins

On the 9th of November, 2006, Microsoft's forces, led by the great Evil General Gwa Bush, sacked the border city of Afghanistan of the Light Empire. The assault was ordered directly by the Great Ruling Despot Bill Gates of the Microsoft Dominion, after he had had had a particularly bad day with the ladies, with one of them even remarking that she would rather be shot, gutted, hung from a tree, and run over by a Buick than go out with him. There have also been reports that Gates had received several wedgies on that day, though the Office of Oxymorons denies this report stating simply that "Microsoft Works".

The Light Empire declared war on the Microsoft Dominion two hours later stating that "the unprovoked attack was an open declaration of war, and the Light Empire... will not stand for such open... acts of aggression." Empire forces were soon mobilised.

After the initial sacking of Afghanistan, for two weeks, Microsoft and Light forces were mostly involved in light skirmishes. However, the war escalated in what is now know as "the November Incident" on the 27th, where Gates, in a public telecast to the entirety of the Northern Lands, insulted the mother of Chancellor Aragog of the Light Empire with horribly construed jokes. On the same day, a mysterious epidemic of illnesses spread across the Northern Lands, affecting thousands in Microsoft, Light, and Apple alike. It was later revealed that most of Bill Gate's jokes came from the unscrupulous recluses who reside on the island of Uncyclopedia. Unfortunately for Gates, he implied a relation between Apple's ruling Monarch Steve I and the Empire's Chancellor's mother's dog. To further complicate the matter, Gates, in one of his brilliant moves, called the people of Apple "worms inside a rotten apple that is covered in fungus". Within an hour, the Office of Morons put out a statement supporting the comments of their leader. This led to a breaking of already strained diplomatic relations between Microsoft and Apple, and on the next day Apple declared war on Microsoft and mobilised its forces.

After the November Incident, both Light and Apple forces moved more aggressively against Microsoft, with Light capturing the city of Outlook, and laying siege to the city of Explorer, while Apple in the south attacked the stronghold of Excel.

Microsoft's coup de grace

Period

Progression

On the 10th March 2007 Microsoft launches 4 BSODs on KDE, Dock , Mail and Evolution. The BSOD aimed at Evoulution cut off Linux's communication lines. Unable to co-ordinate their attacks and with Penguin casualties skyrocketing because of disease, Linux surrenders.

On the 15th March 2007 Microsoft annihilates Berlin-Richmond with its prototype BSOD-2 missile.

On the 19th March 2007 Microsoft hacks into Word and Outlook's power and communications systems and shut the down, throwing the city into darkness.

On the 26th March 2007 Nazisoft surrenders.

On the 27th March 2007 Microsoft recaptures Outlook and fortifies Explorer, repulsing Apple's 18th Battalion and 2nd Artillery Division.

On the 17th December 2007 Microsoft unleashes Dreamscene and puts the opposing forces into a trance that can only be described as hallucenogenic. Linux commanders cannot handle the visuals and resort to telnet and morse code to communicate between the vast distances of their scattered armies.

On the 10th March 2007 Gates wakes up from his dream. He runs quickly to tell his generals of his brilliant plan. They inform him, that unfortunately, BSODs only work against Microsoft. Gates questions why he spent billions of dollars and years of development to design such a useless weapon. General Gwa Bush reminds him that it was designed as a terror weapon to be used to keep Microsoft citizens in line.
