Let it be known through out this land that The People of the Multicolored Cross-X Alliance and the Knights of The Order of the Paradox do herein proclaim that they are now tied in military union.

This union shall solidify our bonds of trust and friendship, bring together our wisdom to safeguard our international security, and unite our strength to maintain peace and prosperity across our realms.

We shall promote openness – But let no man doubt the sincerity of our convictions.

We shall advocate trade – But let no nation hinder our concord.

We shall foster peace – But let no alliance test our resolve.

What fates have brought us together let no one attempt to divide.

That was fast.

I know I'll probably be criticized for saying this, especially by MCXA and TOP, but don't the recent redundant treaties between tC members seem like something is up?

Gre left and so did FOK!, OG and IRON sign a treaty and so do TOP and MCXA.

I can remember not too long ago that there were plenty of Citidel alliances signing redundent treaties together. Seems that was more of a showing of solidarity rather then separation. By showing they individually stand together as well then that shows there is no point in separating from Citidel.

To see more tC alliances signing together actually seems to show me that these could very well be shows of solidarity between alliances within tC.


Congrats to our allies for this showing of solidarity.

Thats not what mid 2007 says with the Initiative.

Which if I'm not mistaken said the same thing.

You got us, by now having redundant treaties with almost all the continuum, we plan to leave, so that we can maintain the same political position

Stop with your logic.

A Declaration on This Treaty:
Most excellent.

Cowman: don't make me link to where I said something along the lines of a bloc breakup will cause redundant treaties, but the reverse implication does not hold.

I was just referring to "history repeats itself" in regards to the Initiative, which had redundant treaties signed before it actually dissolved.

Maybe the bloc is almost ready to break, I don't know and anyone who does know won't be saying it on here.

One pattern will always repeat itself troughout CN history. Announcements like this can only end in one way... with people who have no idea what is going on claiming the sky is falling and other people who don't have any idea what's going on either telling them to sut up and everything is fine.

Pretty much regardless of what's ever actually happening in CN politics.

You forget the group that knows what is going on that have a great time on the expense of those you just mentioned
