Ragnablok announcement

[Tautology]

We welcome another alliance to Ragnablok. Some people think I should make longer announcements. I don't agree.

[b]Preamble:[/b]
In the interest of friendship, protection, and guidance the undersigned alliances agree to the following Protectorate-ODAP agreement. May our friendship continue to flourish, and our growth be mutual.

[b]Article I: Sovereignty[/b]
It must be understood that all alliances remain sovereign and independent alliances. This pact shall not infringe on the sovereignty of the signatories and shall serve to only embody the friendship and trust amongst the signatory alliances.

[b]Article II: Peace, Respect, and Friendship[/b]
Members of the signatory alliances agree to coexist in a state of peace. Alliances will under no circumstances engage in military actions against each other. Also, no signatory alliance shall engage in acts of espionage against the other alliances, nor shall they knowingly and willfully render aid and/or intelligence to known enemies of the other. All alliances will remain respectful towards each other at all times and any differences will be handled via private discussion. The membership of each signatory alliance commit to remaining civil towards each other at all times, particularly in public channels, but also in private.

[b]III. Protection and Defense[/b]
In the event that any signatory alliance is attacked, all signatory members are encouraged though not required to provide aid via military and financial means except for Ragnarok who assumes responsibility for the well-being of all of the undersigned members. An attack on any of the undersigned protectorates will be considered an attack on Ragnarok. Ragnarok will attempt to resolve such an issue on the behalf of the protectorates through diplomatic means before force is ever used.

[b]IV. Optional Aggression[/b]
All signatories will have the option if they so desire to assist any other signatory with an offensive military action in any manner they see fit. No signatory will be required to assist any other signatory with an offensive military action, though it is encouraged to help in any way possible.

[b]V. Aid and Progress[/b]
Ragnarok will aid their protectorates when able to help them grow as alliances. Ragnarok also assumes the responsibility for the success and growth of their protectorates and will offer all the assistance and guidance that it can provide.

[b]VI. War and Treaty Signing[/b]
The undersigned protectorate agrees to alert Ragnarok if they have decided to go on the offensive towards another alliance within 48 hours of doing so. The undersigned protectorates will never declare war on another alliance without first discussing it with Ragnarok leadership. The undersigned protectorate will also contact Ragnarok before signing any treaties with other alliances and will discuss such decisions with them.

[b]VII. Merging and Disbandment[/b]
In the sad event that any of the protectorates decides they can no longer function as an alliance, the undersigned agree to contact Ragnarok leadership. If possible disbandment is an option, the undersigned agree to contact Ragnarok within 24 hours to discuss other options. Ragnarok agrees to do everything they can to help their protectorates avoid such a fate.

[b]IX. Termination of Membership[/b]
The undersigned alliances may leave at any time, but in doing so it is understood that it will also void all terms and obligations of this pact. Such a cancellation requires a 48 hour cancellation period after notification before the articles contained within are void. All signatories agree to strict non-aggression during this cancellation period. Ragnarok may expel a member for violation of both the spirit and letter of this pact. Should any protectorate feel they have outgrown the need for protection and assistance from Ragnarok, the parties will discuss a possible upgrade.

Welcome to the Blok iCF!

Now for the rest of you OWF lurkers...here's a tip... if you see a new member applying for your AA is going rogue against these fine lads at iCF, don't accept them...and of particular note resist the urge to send them 6 million in aid.

[Jessebelle]

Welcome, iCF. I'm pretty sure you guys are gonna be awesome as friends
Also, Tautology.

[Alterego]

I agree, Its worth an announcement to the alliance who is accepted. Every alliance, no matter how small deserves a moment on the OWF where the world bears witness to their hard work and successes. Congrats CF

[JT Jag]

Congrats iCF. RoK are cool dudes.

I agree with your disagreement. Short, sweet, and to the point!

RoK/Ragnablok is good people; congrats iCF.

about time, i hear the current formula for a CB is:

Percentage of sincere Moral outrage * .10 + percentage of feigned moral outrage * .20 + Protectorates * 1 - Percentage of alliance that are infra huggers * Over9000!!!!!!

so with us having no sense of morality and already cashing in one CB with TENE, this is great, now we can continue harrassing poor, quiet alliances like the NSO

Nothing better than a growing Blok.

I can't thank you guys enough for the support (especially our friends at RoK ). All are of course invited to come lurk in our channel, #iCF, where no doubt countless hours of good times await.
