Lezrahi Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 This ship could have avoided that savage ocean if it had stayed in the Port at Ragnablok. But, I suppose that it is a lesson well-learned.

Mayzie Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Glad to see someone step up to help them out. What happens if after the 30 day period ERA hasn't signed a treaty with anyone else, do they have the opportunity to renew this treaty or is this just a temporary measure to give them chance to sort something more permanent out?

Alfred von Tirpitz Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 (edited) Well if no treaties etc. have been made in the 30 days, then at the very least, they have been granted a 30 day respite to find elsewhere to go. Most alliances do not accept applicants if they are in a war. edit: I swear my spellchecker is messed up Edited May 19, 2010 by Alfred von Tirpitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I can not speak for our co-signatories on this issue, only to Avalon's intentions. For our part, Avalon's government has decided that we shall not be extending our participation beyond the stated 30 day time frame. To the other comments I express our gratitude at the well wishes. We must also express our thanks to the interested and involved parties we spoke to in TSP, GOONS, and Ragnarok prior to this treaty being formalized for their time and cordial assistance.

Valtamdraugr Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Although Ragnarok does not consider themselves to be "an involved party", I thank Avalon for approaching us in this matter.
