An Aftermath Announcement


Recommended Posts

 We interrupt your regularly scheduled poo-flinging for an important Aftermath Public Service Announcement.

 

It is with great sadness that Aftermath says goodbye to one of its founding members, the Multicolored Cross-X Alliance. They were a great asset to Aftermath, and their dissolution fills us all with both grief at its happening, and regret at its necessity. With that said, the future looks bright for Aftermath, as we undergo a few changes of our own. Fortune favors the bold, as they say, and we think fortune will favor us indeed.
 
It is a great honor, then, to announce the membership of Supernova X in Aftermath. We have lost the name of a great ally, yes, but not its spirit. The greatest part of any alliance, the membership, remains, and they are bolstered by new faces and new ideas that we are certain will bring Aftermath into a new age of prosperity. Change is nerve wracking and risky, but we know that nothing remains the same forever, and that to stagnate in this great world or ours is to invite complacency and sloth, a fate perhaps worse than disbandment. Aftermath embraces this change, and heads into a new world, changed, we know, for the better.
 
But that is not all. No, this announcement also covers another change to Aftermath, one that is less bittersweet to us and perhaps a little less expected by the world at large. It gives me great pleasure to announce another new member of Aftermath, an alliance whose loyalty, honor, and propensity for drunken foreign affairs is known to many and questioned by none. Please welcome our most excellent friend, Invicta, to Aftermath.
 
Now, for the gritty details.
 

Preamble:
Mother Digiterra, in all her glory, is a brutal planet. She wields her power through the terrible wars that blast through our lands. She is the ultimate equalizer who enacts her justice through mighty alliances. And each time Digiterra brings forth these natural events with such ferocity, what is left behind is her judgment, her decision, her aftermath.

WE ARE AFTERMATH, a Supreme Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Pact. We have bonded together to continue Mother Digiterra’s righteousness and to ensure that her integrity is enforced. We the undersigned alliances, the Powers of Digiterra, hereby reaffirm our faith in the fundamental rights, dignity, and sovereignty of all entities that seek balance in the world, and in each other. We have joined arms in the true spirit of supreme friendship, understanding our legacy is our unity.

Article I: Definitions
A. A member of Aftermath shall be known as either a Power, signatory, member, or member-alliance.
B. Aftermath defines an alliance as that of ten (10) or more member-nations.

Article II: Sovereignty
A. The independent sovereignty of each signatory shall be respected. The independence of each alliance shall be maintained throughout the bloc’s existence.

Article III: Communication, Intelligence, Individual Connections
A. We the Powers recognize the validity of this treaty and understand its components. We shall not engage in hostile or near-hostile actions, including war and espionage, or words in any form or channel against each other.
B. We agree to remain on friendly terms in public at all times and will resolve all personal conflicts in confidence. We also agree to relay any pertinent information to the safety, security, and well-being of each alliance at all times.
C. Signatories will inform all other Powers through the Panel of Powers of any treaties they are signing at least seventy-two (72) hours before that treaty goes into effect and allow for a discussion period within the bloc.
D. A bloc forum and an IRC bloc channel will be established for public use.

Article IV: Security and Peace
A. Pursuant to Article II, no Power may declare war upon any other. Should any member nation declare on another members nation, it is required that they offer peace immediately and pay reparations of no less than one-hundred-fifty percent (150%) of the damages caused by any attacks unless another satisfactory agreement is reached by the involved alliances.
B. In order to ensure peace, the target of such attacks may not retaliate in any way for twenty-four (24) hours following notification to their alliance of the war, to allow time for diplomatic resolution. This shall be void if the assault includes multiple aggressors of the same alliance or de facto/de jure allies.

Article V: Mutual Defense
A. Should the feeble attempts of FEMA and its miserable partners attempt to ease the effects of one Power, the full might of the entire Aftermath shall ensue upon the naïve aggressor. Each signatory agrees to defend each other via military, political, and financial actions unless alternate strategies are developed.
B. A signatory is waived from this mandate should the initially engaged Power grant it.

Article VI: Optional Aggression
A. If a Power must extend Mother Earth’s justice first, it may call upon its fellow members for assistance. Fellow members will not be required to participate in these aggressive conflicts, but encouraged to participate.
B. In order for an aggressive action to be sanctioned, it must be approved by two-thirds (2/3) of the signatories in the Panel of Powers.
C. No signatory may take any action, whether military, political, or financial, on behalf of another signatory without the approval of that Power. Approval must come from the Power’s leader or equivalent.

Article VII: Membership and Expulsion
A. Upon ratification of this treaty, additional signatories may be added upon unanimous vote of the Panel of Powers. Prospective signatories will only be considered upon an official invitation and sponsorship of a current signatory.
B. Signatories may be removed from this treaty upon a unanimous vote of the Panel, excluding the accused Power. Grounds for expulsion include but are not limited to:

1.Failure to post within the bloc forums for a period of two (2) weeks.
2.Failure to maintain proper IRC communications.
3.Failure to abide by Articles V and VI.

C. Any Power that undergoes a merger resulting in a greater than thirty-three percent (33%) increase in members will be placed on probation. A revote for continuing membership will immediately commence pursuant Article VII, Sections A and B.
D. All votes regarding membership status must be proceeded by forty-eighty (48) hours of discussion. The voting window shall last no less than seventy-two (72) hours, unless the required number of votes is reached at an earlier time.

Article VIII: The Panel of Powers
A. The bloc shall be governed by a primary and executive committee, called the Panel of Powers. Each signatory is permitted to have three (3) representatives. The first representative shall be the Senior Delegate, who shall have one (1) equal vote. The second shall be the Delegate, who has no voting powers, but participates in Panel discussions with the Senior Delegate. Finally, the third shall be an Observer, who may not vote and does not participate in discussions, but simply observes discussions. All votes are equal in representation. Each representative shall be granted administrative powers in the bloc forums, and SOP powers in the IRC bloc channel.
B. The Panel of Powers shall have the authority to create special committees for any necessary purpose.
C. The Panel must approve all actions by any lower committee. These votes must be approved by a simple majority of the Panel.
D. The Panel may take action without the lower committees. These actions must be approved by two-thirds (2/3) of the Panel.
E. The authority of the Panel shall not infringe upon the independence of each alliance, unless such alliance permits it.
F. Delegates are not required to obtain approval from their respective alliances to vote in the Panel. However, it is up to each alliance to determine voting procedures for each Delegate.
G. There shall be a channel devoted purely for the needs of the Panel of Powers.
H. The Panel shall be presided over by a sitting Delegate, who shall be known as the Speaker. The Speaker is responsible for establishing voting polls, determining meeting times, and maintaining order during meetings. The Chair shall rotate every two (2) months, ensuring each signatory is granted the Chair.
I. The Speaker shall be the unofficial leader of the bloc, acting as a representative to the world. The Speaker is responsible for posting announcements to the world.
J. The Speaker, only in cases in which the Panel ties shall have tie-breaking powers.

Article IX: Violations
A. Failure of any member nation to uphold the terms of this treaty will result in immediate disciplinary action by that nation’s alliance. Recommended action is expulsion or reparations.

Article X: Supremacy
A.This bloc of AFTERMATH shall take precedent over all other treaties and blocs held by the signatories unless otherwise agreed upon by the bloc members. Membership in any future blocs is discouraged and must be approved by the bloc members and could result in expulsion from AFTERMATH
B. Nothing in this treaty shall restrict any signatory from signing independent treaties with any other alliance as long as all procedures outlined in this treaty are met.
C. All conflicts from outside treaties shall be considered optional for the entire bloc. All signatories agree to confer with fellow Powers regarding outside military action before taking any measures to act.

Article XI: Amendments
A. This agreement may be amended by a unanimous vote of the signatory alliances. All amendment voting windows must last a minimum of seventy-two (72) hours and be preceded by forty-eight (48) hours of discussion on the bloc forums before voting may commence.

Article XII: Withdrawal
A. If any signatory alliance feels that this treaty has been unjustly violated and all diplomatic negotiations have been exhausted, they have the right to withdraw from the treaty as expressed by their individual governing body. Sufficient reason for withdrawal must first be discussed in the Panel of Powers before acceptance of said withdrawal. Notification of withdrawal must be given to the other signatories forty-eight (48) hours prior to cancellation.
