[Robert Specto]

I would like to apologize to BLEU. The way our move was dealt with and the way we approached them about it was disrespctful. They did not deserve that as they let us sign their Economic Treaty and provided our members with free trades. As Premier of PLUS, im going to say we screwed up. There was a big lack of communication to Smallfrog from myself. It really should not have happened that way. I take fault for this entire thing.

I do ask that BLEU forgives us. As Lefty had said in Smallfrogs topic, we will compensate BLEU for all of their trades lost and help them find new trades if needed. Expessally now.


We are very sorry .

[Commonwealth of John]

Takes a big man to appologize.

Hail PLUS for their insight.

Edit: First

[German Federation]

A lot of honor in what you just did.

o/ PLUS

BLEU should look past this mistake. We're all only human.

[TimLee]

Good luck and I guess welcome to the black team.

[zzzptm]

Question: How does PLUS plan to integrate itself into the workings of the Black Sphere, or does it just intend to come to collect its senator and leave the sphere alone?

There are many fine alliances on Black, and we invite you to meet with us and get to know what we have in place on Black to make for a better tomorrow on our sphere.

[German Federation]

Its Blue, not black.

[youwish959]

I hope they accept your apology, you seem sincere.

[Robert Specto]

Right now we are working on sending out our diplomats to any Black alliances we can find. As for the senator seat, i have pulled that off the table, it was only suposed to be a small reason for the move anyways, and since we barged on in, we are in no posision for a seat.

We hope to become good friends with the alliances in the Black Sphere.

I would be more inclined to accept this apology at face value had you taken the trouble to put a little effort into the presentation. I guess BLEU are not worth you taking the time for a quick proof read and spell check.

Quote

[17:58] LordTavis[PLUS}: Hello Bleu
[17:59] LordTavis[PLUS}: I humbly come before you to express my greatest apologies for the way my alliance has mishandled the situation of switching from the Blue trading sphere to Black
[18:00] LordTavis[PLUS}: Our leader, Specto is working on a formal apology to be posted on the CN forums, but I'm here to personally say "sorry" for the total lack of diplomacy and communication on the part of PLUS leadership
[18:01] LordTavis[PLUS}: I do want you all to know that that isn't the way we normally do business, and all I know is that things will most certainly be done in a more proper, and respectful manner henceforth
[18:04] LordTavis[PLUS}: I hope you accept my apology on behalf of my alliance and understand no harm or disrespect was ever intended
[18:16] LordTavis[PLUS}: so I bid you all a good day and I look forward to continued friendly relations between PLUS and BLEU member alliances in the future

LordTavis did a far better job on your behalf on IRC. Perhaps you should engage him to make your announcements in the future.

Anyway good luck on black.

As gracious as you've been if I were PLUS I'd be likely as not to have said another word to begin with.

I don't believe that PLUS had that option.

Well then now we're getting into the silly.

[hobbies0310]

As german federation said we are all human. Oh wow he misspelled a word or two, who cares. The thing is they apologized for there mistake and are willing to do whatever is needed to help get the trades back. Ur being a little too harsh. And maybe he had to go somewhere and had to post this quickly? probly not what happened but it might have. Its a game i dont think u should spend all day working on an apology

[Psychotic Dictator]

Good luck to PLUS and the Blue sphere with their trades.

The wink was there for a reason.

The offence has been rectified, so perhaps we should leave this now and let PLUS get on with their move to black.

[HM4A1]

o/ PLUS for their worthy apology, I too hope BLEU accept

EDIT: spelling is not my forte.

I'm glad to see that PLUS was able to see error in how the situation was handled. I can only hope that gov members of PLUS have found it educational on what not to do. We wish you the best of luck in your future ventures in the Black Sphere.

Your apology is accepted.


FYI: Just remember communication is key to happy allies.

[JoshuaR]

Welcome to black, insert something about never turning back, hitting the sack, and going to sleep.
The third largest trading sphere just got a little bigger. I hope one of you has fish/wheat...

[x Tela x]

Darn, no Smallfrog head on a stick? Oh well.

Good luck in the black sphere, PLUS. And I'm mostly kidding about Smallfrog....mostly..
