The assistant can be dismissed for any reason at any time.

1.6 Impeachment of any Prophet is a very long process, and requires both of the other prophet’s agreement, as well as a trial headed by a KoTC member agreed upon by all three Prophets.

I hope you plan on changing that charter in the near future. If you plan on being a successful alliance, those NS divisions are way too small.

Sangheili should really outrank Jiralhanae... why am I discussing that?

Is this the first Halo themed alliance?

Is this the first Halo themed alliance?

sasori... idk if you know... but... being a GDI supporter is not a good thing... why do you thing the rest of the alliance left. you can thank ryan for that. :/

That's why the majority of their members are still there when I look? These are only a few people here...

So basically what this is, is a few like minded people leaving their alliance to make their own that they plan to govern as they wish... it doesn't seem quite as important as you make it sound, Republic of Lenahan. If it is then I suppose all other people who leave alliances to start their own should make threads spitting in the faces of their former allies. Because you realize that that's what this is, don't you?

I see this as nothing more than a PR stunt to gain acceptance by a community of people who have found a new Emmanuel Goldstein in RyanGDI. You make it sound like you were being "oppressed" or something by making the declaration of existence of your alliance one of "independence".

Independence from what? Not being patted on the back? Well congratulations, you've broken free.

You obviously don't understand how most micro alliance members are.

Explain to me "how they are" then.

Explain to me "how they are" then.

I have not spitted in anyone's face, nor defamed anyone in any manner.

However, if you wish to over analyze our announcement and imply that I am attempting to make Ryan look bad, I would disagree.

This is simply an announcement of our "independence" from GDI. I have used the term "independence" because a majority of the new members of KoTC are GDI, and a majority of the government of KoTC are GDI.

I'm sorry if you took my word choice as derogatory and critical in any way; it was not intended to be.

- Lenahan

Hello everyone,
In light of recent events, a number of members here at GDI have decided that it is in our best interests, and in the best interests of most of the members, to separate.

However, this is not a coup as much as it is a Declaration of Independence. We no longer acknowledge the authority of GDI as our own. Instead, we wish to form a new alliance; a fresh start on planet Bob.

I urge all of those participating in the separation to disavow all thoughts of bearing arms against our fellow brothers. On the contrary, we welcome the day that our lost friends choose to once again call us brothers.
This declaration is intended to inform everyone that we are indeed our own alliance, and although our beginnings may be questionable, we hope for a friendly and dignified chance at a rebirth.

All GDI members are welcome to join us in our new journey, do not be hesistant to ask.

"The Great Journey is about to begin. But, when it does, the weight of your heresy will stay your feet... and you shall be left behind. "

Signed,
GDI Government:
EmporerDurhv, Former Commanding General of GDI
Lenahan, Former MoFA of GDI

Former GDI Members:
Kenai
Kingpshap
JD Storm

* Members will be added as they give word of their departure*

If you'd like help with your charter I can assist you; sort of a hobby of mine. PM me if you're interested; I penned the one for our Lodge and its on our wiki. (There's a link to our wiki underneath my signature).

I'll give you this, among others at least you try to deny the purpose of your announcement.



Sure sounds like you're just leaving your previous alliance to start a new one. You make it sound like you're throwing down your shackles or something to that effect, a subtle and effective propaganda technique.


I would imagine that when a nation leaves their alliance, they would indeed no longer submit to the authority of that alliance and yes, you are starting a new alliance rather than subverting the government of the former.

If announcing the creation of a new alliance was all that you meant to do, you wouldn't have gone through the trouble of writing all that, would you? And please don't tell me that you would. It would be insulting to my intelligence and the intelligence of the rest of those of us who are not content with dancing the dance of deception.


This whole section is meant to create unnecessary animosity between your alliance where there would have been none had you not the intention of inciting such.


Though I am not particularly opposed to recruiting from other alliances in accordance to Social Darwinism (ie natural selection, an alliance has the right to exist only if it can keep its members...) you're blatantly doing so (recruiting) from RyanGDI's alliance.

If all you were trying to do was form your own alliance, you wouldn't include this clause either but you did because you're trying to subvert GDI by implying that your alliance is a haven for all their members from whatever terrible horrors lie within.


Here you're subtly trying to provoke guilt in GDI members who have not joined you implying that they're somehow reactionary for staying.


More emphasis is put here on the people that left GDI. This is not a new alliance, this is an alliance of disaffected former GDI members who are expressing their disavowal of their former alliance's government.

The last line implies that there are more of you than there really are which has a chance of tricking people into thinking just that and "following the horde", so to speak. Or, in this case, following the illusionary horde that you're projecting through that sentence.

Good work, Lenahan.
