My fellow citizens: We have reached the point where information between us is vital. We cannot continue without facts from one another, lauding successes where other teams have failed.

That makes us no better than ALICE.

When we last urged you to stay silent, we admit now that that was a mistake. Yell. Scream. Be loud and be heard.

An event took place on the twenty second of December this past year in which we were all involved. During this event, several teams were faced with something beyond our realm of understanding. A monster from books of old. A creature that defied logic and reason.

Among these teams, a handful came to blows with these monsters. Physically attacked during a game where, originally, we had been promised that no hard would intentionally come to us during the games. To quote our illustrious host: "Never will anything be presented to you that will mean any harm."

Lies from the start. From the very first meeting, ALICE has lied to us about their intentions of this game. So why should we believe anything that they say to us now?

The more people that know about this, the harder they will have to work to keep us, and the truth, silent. Remember: We speak for those who cannot. To spread the word, even if just between us, will keep it alive.

An idea is hard to kill. Let this truth and this idea be on everyone's lips. Let all of us whisper the truth of what has happened to us, so that we know we are not alone. So that we know that ALICE cannot place their boot of authority onto one of our necks without another rising to take its place.

There were those of you who were attacked on the twenty second. There were those of you who merely saw the monster, a threat and display of power.

We do not know what these creatures are, but that does not mean that we can ignore the very real and very present truth of them. They are something that ALICE has also kept from us, just like they have continued to keep secrets from us. This is not just another piece of the puzzle that we will have to figure out later. This is a threat. It is a show of force, and we must take care of it now.

Help us let ALICE know that we are no longer their pawns. Stop being afraid.

Stop being afraid.

They cannot contain what they cannot control. We breathe the fire of truth. We live by our own terms, not by theirs.

We stand together, and we stand strong.
