A GRE, Fark, FH announcement

[Zangmonkey]

The governments of Old Guard and Zenith have agreed to terms for their surrenders to Grämlins and Fark. Pursuant to Zenith’s charter, they have begun the mandatory 48 hour vote process.

Grämlins, Filipino Heroes and Fark have agreed to a 54 hour cease fire with Old Guard and Zenith pending the results of this Zenith vote. This cease fire began 2-19-10 at 3PM
Violations of this cease fire will be discussed and handled by the involved governments.

Grämlins and Fark agreed to this temporary cease fire with the understanding that Zenith collectively desires to exit the conflict. If the vote does not pass, or the terms are otherwise refused or violated, Grämlins will consider the cease fire a deliberate attempt by Zenith to delay military action.

[Empress Theodora]

I confirm OG's agreement to this cease fire

Wow. Ceasefire. Almost never works, but I think it will with this bunch.

[UnitedNations]

Good luck in the negotiations.

We have made good faith agreements of which you have limited knowledge.
I suspect that everybody has learned the lesson of the UJW.

Uh, if they vote no to the ceasefire, they're voting yes to war. So what are they going to do to Zenith? Declare war on them? lol. Not really "or else" the way I read it. More like "This is the common sense approach."

If Zenith votes no, they want more war, and they'll get it. Seems very simple to me.

Pretty reasonable to me, actually. Good luck Old Guard and Zenith

[Ivan Moldavi]

Hey, what are the terms? Just curious.

[kriekfreak]

I wonder what will happen if Zenith will vote no. I kinda hope they do, just so we can find out.

[Lennox]

It seems surrendering is all the rage lately.

If they vote "no" to our offered terms then the war will continue.

[mike717]

Again we'd like to thank Fark, and Gre (Zenith's opponents) for working with us in this matter.

And to OG for being steadfast allies during this time.

Just a little further to go.

I know what you are implying here, but you could not be farther from the truth. Gre is being pretty gracious about this.

Democracy

Good luck to all. =D

[King Death II]

Let me take a stab at this one. The terms are white peace. Amirite?

Given that war is the logical extension of any refusal to peace, then what would be the point of including such a warning on perception of deliberate delay?

If there is no consequence to said perception, then it's inclusion as a written warning just gives an ominous implication to those that do not bother to gather all the facts, or do not want to acknowledge them. That, in turn, translates into bad PR, and comes without any form of benefit.

Good fighting guys

I disagree.
I contend that terms will be less favorable should our good faith be undermined.
This isn't chest-thumping, it's simply a fact.

lol what

[Kindom of Goon]

Cease fires are always more trouble than they are worth, why bother?

[Crazy Carrot]

Cease fire? Classy? Yeah, probably. Silly? Yeah, probably...

[Bilrow]

"Vote yes or else you will regret it."

[zenergy]

I'm glad to see this resolution for our friends at Zenith. You guys had some balls going in there like you did.

o/ Zenith!

Alrighty. I take back the part where I gave Gre the benefit of the doubt.

It's not undermining if it's a democratic alliance, and they're required to vote. It's not like they made up a new rule just for this war that says they have to vote before withdrawing from a conflict. (Or maybe they did... *DA DA DUM!*)


Start thumpin', thumper.
