Finster Baby Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 As many of you are aware, for the past month or so IRON has sponsored a new alliance known as the Jarheads as our protectorate. This young alliance from the get go had rapid early growth and showed a lot of promise to be a nice long-term ally as well as a profitable venture for tech farming. A few of us were a bit wary as we were unsure of how they were capable of such growth, however ultimately their two leaders put on a nice presentation and we opted to take them on. However two weeks ago we were informed by a reliable source that Jarheads had been deceiving IRON and that they had in fact been conspiring to attack one of our allies. Specifically Jarheads were using IRON only as a means to fund their war effort and the feigned respect and niceties shown had all been a façade. Despite this deception IRON has chosen to honour our side of the arrangement; as per our treaty we informed Jarheads of this cancellation 72 hours prior to any public announcement. We will also be honouring the additional 7-day NAP grace period. At this time we are still in the midst of this grace period, which is due to expire on Wednesday the 4th of March. We have passed all information pertaining this matter to the relevant parties who are free to take action as they see fit. We now consider our relationship with the Jarheads ended, and have severed all ties and obligations to them. IRON sticks to its word and, even after being betrayed and having our agreement broken, we continued to respect the treaty we signed, including the cool down period imbedded in the treaty. Unfortunately, Jarheads have shown no honor or respect, and as a result they have our eternal contempt. Signed, Finsterbaby, President Coursca, Secretary of State, IRON Councilor Shan Revan, Deputy Secretary of State, IRON Councilor Peron, Minister of Defense, IRON Councilor Grizz Goose, Deputy Minister of Defense, IRON Councilor MCRABT, Minister of Internal Affairs, IRON Councilor Matt Miller, Minister of the Vault, IRON Councilor Krash, Minister of Labor, IRON Councilor Iamthey, Minister of Intelligence, IRON Councilor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbulaM1 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Expected. But noteworthy anyway, some times alliances just don't get it, everything that is said can be found out. Shame on you Jarheads. Edited March 1, 2009 by BarbulaM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornelius Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 We stand behind our allies in IRON for what must have been a difficult decision. Betrayal of those you've trusted hits harder than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Flinders Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 However two weeks ago we were informed by a reliable source that Jarheads had been deceiving IRON and that they had in fact been conspiring to attack one of our allies. Jarheads are a 100k NS alliance. Who of your allies were they intending to attack? I mean, they're only really able to do so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeBlood Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Classy of IRON to keep to an honrable path even when deceived. Much respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmia Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 It is terrible to be deceived when you try to give your best and lend out your support. I wish IRON the best of luck in this and showing themselves to be the honorable allies I know them to be. It is a shame that they had to backstab you this way and show intentions that were not matched by yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulda known this thread wouldn't go far without at least a vague allusion to Rebbilon Does it really matter? A betrayal of trust is a betrayal of trust. Ragashingo, you just hit the truth jackpot.

Phoenix Rising Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Such a shame to see honorable intentions and friendly help abused in such a manner. However, I'm heartened to see you guys handle it in such a respectful and graceful manner. I expected no less from IRON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh Chad Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Regardless of who it is and what army they have, deceiving someone you called your protector won't result in good things. May they be taught some "tough love" swiftly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joracy Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 We're going for the ODN record, in fact I traded Shan and Peron for their guide on how to be hated by small alliances. It was a fair trade I think. The cancellation of a treaty is never a nice thing. But the kind of disrespect Jarhead has shown by deceiving IRON like this has brought down this punishment, and its fully deserved. We will see how long they last without IRON's protection.
