Preamble

Can you feel it? Ya feel it

Can you feel it? Ya feel it

Can you feel it? Feel it

Can you feel it? Feel it

Article I: Sovereignty
It must be understood that both alliances are sovereign and independent alliances. Either alliance undertaking any aggressive or defensive action against other entities not included in this agreement does so without implication of the other signatory.

Article II: Non-Aggression
The signatories commit to pursuing friendly and respectful relations. Both agree that they will not engage in hostilities towards each other. This includes but is not limited to direct military action, supporting of third parties in conflict with the other signatory and/or in-game spying.

Article III: Mutual Defense

Section 1:
If one of the signatories is attacked by a third party, the other signatory is required to provide assistance (both military and/or financial) as requested by the defender.

Section 2:
If either signatory declares war using an optional clause from another treaty and is attacked as a result, the defense clause herein shall become Optional Defense and not Mutual Defense.

Article IV: Optional Aggression
If one signatory chooses to initiate aggressive action against a third party, the other signatory is encouraged, but not obligated, to provide assistance (financially and/or militarily).

Article V: Intelligence

Section 1:
If a member of either signatory comes across intelligence that is related to the safety and well being of the other signatory then it is required of the discovering signatory to report this as quickly as possible to the endangered signatory.

Section 2:
If either signatory is aware that they are about to be attacked by a third party, they are required, unless impossible, to inform the other signatory.

Section 3:
If either signatory receives intelligence from a third party not in relation to either signatory, they are not obliged to share this intelligence, but are encouraged to do so.

Article VI: Financial Assistance
Both signatories agree that neither is legally bound to grant requests of financial aid from the other, except in the case of Article III. Both signatories are encouraged to do so in the interest of friendship and building a healthy diplomatic and economic relationship, however requests may be denied with or without reason.

Article VII: Espionage
Both signatories pledge not to engage in espionage against each other or any other alliance. Espionage is defined in this article as the hacking of, planting of members, or any other extra-game activities to intentionally gain intelligence on the other signatory. Breaking of this term will immediately trigger Article VIII.

Article VIII: Termination
While it is hoped this treaty will never be cancelled, we recognize it is possible that these two signatories might drift apart. If a signatory wishes to terminate this agreement, the agreement between these signatories shall end 48 hours from the moment notification is given.

o/ the VVVVVVVVVV.TTTTTTTTTTT pact.

[Solaris]

This treaty reminds me of the Tetris song, and I find it most pleasant.

[Gideon1]

Yay us, yay Tetris!

"Take Them to Task" <----Yes!

[USMC123]

Glad to see this signed. We've been working VE since before we existed

[republic of granat]

Great to finally see this come to pass!

[goldielax25]

the title of this needed to be the VVVVVVVVVV.TTTTTTTTTTT Pact

[Qaianna]

Interesting, although article III seems to suggest that if one party was honouring a mandatory clause (rather than an optional), the other still joins in. Am I reading the intent right there?

[keenu]

Good choice in an ally VE.

Also- Logan

Obligatory lyrics:
Oy, my crate is so light,
The strap is no longer cutting into my shoulders!
And all my lass took
Was one turquoise ring.

It's just an optional chaining clause.

I suppose if Below was activated... but I have a suspicion we'd choose to go in if those three did.

EDIT: Also what Impero said.

Took us long enough to sign this.

[Logan]

A-one for the trouble, a-two for the tatter.
A-come on y'all, let's get into it.
Get into it.

[Sateus]

Great treaty

[Bill Wallace]

Where's the part where we get to influence Tetris' government with our big heavy green hand?


Anyways, glad to see this. Logan's the man.

[Mr Damsky]

Longest treaty name ever?


Congrats, guys.

[Amos Malachi]

Congrats to Tetris and VE. If VE is as cool as Tetris I see great things for both.

I like this clause.

We stand by our allies, not necessarily our allies' allies, and probably not our allies' allies' allies
