Finnish Commie Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/VDuQM.gif[/img][/center] Some friends are loud, party-going and joke-ready. They call you every other day to find out if you want to go out or if there is something else going on. Other friends are quieter and seldom come around. Still, when you really need them they don't hesitate for a split second and do all they can to help you: Echelon is one of those friends. Reflecting our deep respect for their actions in standing by R&R through thick and thin, we have asked them for an upgrade on our treaty, and they have kindly consented*. The result is as follows.... [quote][size=5][b]The Astley Accords[/b][/size] [b]Article I: Preamble[/b] We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but You're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you [b]Article II: We're No Strangers to Love[/b] (Peace and Respect) The first and last thing to be safeguarded by both Alliances and their members is the Respect for opinions, thoughts and ideas, whether in public and in private. The Second is Peace. Neither Alliance will initiate hostile or potentially aggressive actions against each other. In the event minor issues arise, and because both Alliances are examples of respectful people, they will be solved rationally and with the purpose of preserving the best relationship possible. [b]Article III: Inside We Both Know What's Been Going On[/b] (Intelligence) Should either Alliance come across vital information for the other Alliance's security, then said Alliance is required to share it with diligence. [b]Article IV:[/b] [b]We Know the Game and We're Gonna Play It [/b](Aid & Defense) Should either signatory come under attack by a third party, it is the responsibility of the other signatory to assist in every possibly way. Should either signatory initiate a conflict with a third party, the other signatory may give assistance in any way deemed necessary. [b]Article V: Your Heart's Been Aching, But You're Too Shy to Say It[/b] (Cancellation) Should either Alliance desire to Cancel the Treaty, said Alliance is required to present a notification. The Treaty will be valid in the following 48 hours after which it will be considered Null and Void.

Colour me unsurprised [/quote] Non Grata's concern for our foreign policy has been duly noted. FYI, we shared an ODP with Echelon already. This is just an upgrade.

Kochers Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I absolutely adore Echelon, and R&R are a pretty good bunch too. Looks like we'll see you hanging out even more at the playhouse, eh R&R? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorponok Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Good luck to our allies in RnR. Always good to build on better relationships. But Echelon has been rather quiet for the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Take a look at those treaties again. Check how many of them are with blocmates. Check the rest of them, and verify if the involved parties are currently on conflicting sides. Now take a deep breath, then take a look at Non Grata's treaties, and consider if some might prove conflicting in the apparently near future. Now you can pat yourself on the back. Also, I understand you guys have an hard-on for us of late, but please... it's showing. Hide the thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
