A Blood For Friends Announcement

[CBray]

BFF has been a true cornerstone in the treaty hall of FEAR, Wolfpack and until recently UCN for as long as I can remember, it's been there through thick and thin, a treaty between the best of friends that's never been broken or questioned. We at FEAR and WP were heart broken when UCN disbanded and 33.3% of our treaty partners ceased to exist, still the treaty remained, knowing that the bond between FEAR and WP was alone strong enough to keep life in the beast, for a long time we were longing for our 33.3% back, after all 66.6% just isn't 100% (I realise that 66.6+33.3=99.9 but you know what I mean) and it is with great pleasure that I can today announce that we have that 33.3% back!

Europa has stepped into the void left by UCN and has signed onto the BFF treaty with the approval of both FEAR and WP.

As some of you may have noticed we have a new flag, we think it's quite nice, and we hope you think the same too.

We have also recently launched a new forum for improved communication between member alliances and external parties which can be found here: [url=http://s4.zetaboards.com/Blood_for_Friends/index/]LINKY MC LINK[/url]

Upon hearing of this great treaty Deebo rushed home to tell his parents, the incident was caught on camera by one of FEARs concerned members.

[quote]Preamble: Espionage, Non-aggression, Intent, Sovereignty

We, the signatory alliances of this Mutual Defense and Aggression Pact, affirm our friendship and loyalty to one another, recognizing the sovereignty of each alliance and the fundamental rights that sovereignty entails, pledging not to engage in aggressive acts towards any of the undersigned alliances, nor to commit acts of espionage towards any sovereign entity, with the intent of furthering and cementing relations between us.

Article I: Communication and Intelligence

The signatory alliances shall remain in consistent communication with one another, in some form. Should any signatory have, receive or derive any information relevant to another, they will share it with that signatory as soon as possible.

Signatory alliances will inform all other signatories of any treaties they sign, at least 72 hours before that treaty goes into effect.

Article II: Warfare

An attack on one signatory is considered an attack on all others and shall be met with proper retaliation. However, a signatory may refrain from defensive warfare with the consent of the remaining signatories.

An aggressive war cannot be declared by any one signatory without unanimous approval by all signatories. Once an aggressive war has been approved and declared, all signatories are required to participate. However, a signatory may refrain from engaging in aggressive acts with the consent of all remaining signatories.

Note on “chaining”: The contents of this article apply in all circumstances, regardless of aggressive acts based on outside treaties.

Article III: Internal Representation and Masks

Signatories shall be formally represented by one member from each alliance. That Representative holds his or her respective alliance’s official vote on any matter.

Representatives will receive administrative forum powers. All government members of signatories may receive bloc forum masks with Representative level access, at the discretion of that member’s Representative.

Article IV: External Representation and Conduct

Any bloc announcements are to be made by a Representative, as agreed unanimously by all Representatives.

Signatories shall remain polite and friendly to one another at all times, but are not required to show support for any action one signatory may make.

Article V: Relation to Outside Treaties

This pact takes precedent over all other treaties held by the signatories, including, but not limited to, NAPs, PIATs, ToA’s, MDP’s, MD(o)APs, and other Blocs.

Article VI: Amendments and Additions

An Amendment to this document may be made with unanimous consent from all signatories.

Additional signatories may be accepted into this pact with unanimous consent by all existing signatories.

Article VII: Cancellation and Termination

A signatory may withdraw from this pact at any time, but its articles will still be in full effect for a period of 120 hours after notification of all signatories has been given.

A signatory may be expelled from this pact at any time with the unanimous consent of all other signatories. All articles of will no longer apply to the expelled alliance immediately upon expulsion.

Upon either cancellation or expulsion from this pact, an eternal agreement of non-aggression is in place. Neither current nor former signatories may ever perform acts of aggression upon one another.

[Ernesto Che Guevara]

Glad we finally got this posted. Gotta love WP and FEAR, our closest allies. I look forward to our future as a bloc, and am glad to be a part of it.

[Locke]

As long as you can remember? You must be new. *giggle*
Also, 99.9% is 100%, same as 0.999 repeating is 1. Assuming you meant a true third by 33.3% (i.e. repeating).

The Bloc [i]is[/i] over a year old, and we held a chaining MADP with UCN and a chaining MDoaP with WP prior to that, iirc. Forgive the newbie for only being around for nigh on two years

[Kochers]

[Turetel]

I think you'll find that's three and a quarter years I could've sworn it was around for longer than that, oh well guess it shows how much attention I was paying before someone stupidly voted me into office

Congrats! The 3 musketeers are re-united once again.

[supercoolyellow]

Don't have too much fun you three.

Actually... scratch that, have [i]too[/i] much fun.

[LittleRena]

I expected this, best of luck.

[SupremePrince]

Congratulation to everyone especially to our good friends in Europa.

FEAR and WP, you better treat Europa nicely

[Jens of the desert]

Heh, I only just realised this bloc exists, and I'm sorry to say, isn't a great one. I've known you since the Desert Fox incident, and you haven't really impressed since then.

[President S O]

Congratulations to all signatories, especially Europa.

Though, I am not keen on the flag.

So you're about a year (coming up on two over here) older than me, who has only been an ally of and not actually in FEAR, and you thought this bloc was old? Oh dear.

Whilst BFF has only been around a year or so (still surprised at that) the relationships between FEAR, WP and UCN (and by proxy Europa) have/had been around for much longer than that in different treaties and whatnot without looking it up I couldn't tell you exactly. But I think the FEAR - WP Treaty (not BFF) is amongst the older ones out there. So yes congratulations on picking up on an error of mine next time I'll actually bother to do some research haha that'll teach me to be lazy.

[Axolotlia]

Congratulations to all of BFF!

Let's completely disregard what the OP was about and instead !@#$%* and moan about a simple mistake CBray made.

Get over it. You know what he meant.

[AtheistRepublican]

Glad to see this! Congrats!!
