ChairmanHal Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 We at Valhalla have been watching all the fireworks recently and enjoying the show. I realize however that not all alliances necessarily know how to properly declare war or feel so much pressure to top the last war declaration in terms of audio-visual content, artwork, and other creative elements, they freeze up and don't take care of their business. Take The International for example. After promising a couple of their allies that they would in fact be declaring war soon ('soon' meaning within a day or hours, not 'soon' in geological terms), they remain on the sidelines. I suspect performance pressure. I am confident however with a few pointers that The International will be able to provide a simple but elegant declaration of war that will satisfy everyone. [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=97640&view=findpost&p=2595758"][b]Let's take this war dec for example.[/b][/url] 1. States [b]who is declaring war[/b]. 2. [b]Why[/b] war is actually being declared. 3. Includes [b]who is being declared war on[/b] (always important). 4. Adds a cool war flag at the top. I would also suggest checking spelling and grammar, but that's just me. So try this out for size: ------------------------- [center][img]http://images.wikia.com/cybernations/images/3/32/Int-war-big.png[/img][/center] We at The International take our treaties and our obligations to our allies very seriously. Recently, NordReich viciously attacked our long time ally, the Libertarian Socialist Federation. This aggression against our comrades will not stand. In accordance with Article IV of the International - Libertarian Socialist Federation Treaty, The International is declaring war on NordReich. ------------------------- I think you'll find it will be just as effective as the war declarations that insists on including cute puppies, unicorns, ax wielding warriors, or some video from a death metal camp no one outside to Copenhagen has ever heard of. Good luck, I have faith in you...even if you are a bunch of Commie atheists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaiar Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 If you want a war with C&G, just go and declare it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were LSF and was counting on INT to return the favor and perhaps bring a few friends, I'd be feeling pretty let down right now. But hey, it's all about INT's "image", right?

supercoolyellow Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I had to do a double take as a quick glance led me to believe that Int was actually declaring war and they had Valhalla do it for them :S I don't think many people will like the sentiment being posted in this thread.
