From the FOK HQ, the Netherlands.

I'll keep it nice and short. FOK recently is undergoing a restructuring process in the Foreign Affairs department.
This also included making a change in foreign policy.

As such, the following treaties are now cancelled:
TDO - Declaration of Neutrality

TOOL - PIAT

OPA - ToA
Vanguard - ToA

This is an amicable parting, and I would like to point out that we do not need a piece of paper to be friends with anyone.
We wish all of you nothing but the best in your future endeavours.

And on a personal note:
Arsenal, you should definitely join our channel more often. We can have so much fun together.

Hm, hiding your friendships from the world. You're wiley.

Unexpected on a few, but overall not too surprising. Happy hunting with your restructuring.

Hmm, cancelling a DoN's a bit of an odd move, makes me wonder a bit. Heh. Well, best of luck to FOK and hope you feel good a little lighter.

Fun? With Arsenal? Unpossible!

Sounds doubleplusungood to me.

Yeah, I know it was probably just a typo, but meh, makes me think of newspeak.

Not really Locke, we are neutral with a lot of alliances, and we don't need to sign a document for that.

Good luck to the parties we cancelled on.

We are way to heavy, thanks to Ome Harry's Shoarma.

Its too good i tell you

Oh, I know the concept, Invicta actually isn't signed into any DoN's ourself; it's just like cancelling a dead NAP, I suppose. Yeah, it's not necessary to have one, but it's not doing much harm there either. I think we still have one or two on the books, somewhere.

Heh, I can't even remember the last time I saw a NAP or DoN cancelled, or even signed for that matter.

IIRC from my time in GPA, they don't announce new signatories unless the other alliance wants to. It wouldn't surprise me if other neutrals do that as well.

May this new avenue serve you well, I wish you only the best FOK

It's a beige alert. If I don't survive, tell my wife, hello.

Any particular reason you would cancel on a Declaration of Neutrality? I think that it's very interesting and would like a straightforward answer - It's not every day you see something like this.

I think this is just an attempt to get rid of some lower-level treaties, guys

This sums it up quite well

Partly because of what Unavailable Content said.
Plus I believe a DoN is worthless in essence, as when TDO really is acting neutral, we don't need a piece of paper to recognize that.

Oinkoink: Complaining about my food brings civil war closer to FOK.

Hmm... wait a minute

What Mr. Soaky Lettuce Crispy Bacon said.
We just loved to erase the barely visible tiny lines in the web this time.

Very good moves in my opinion. I don't appreciate the cancellation of our secret treaty though.

This announcement lacks Harry as Emperor

Anyway low level treaties like NAPs and ToA's really are useless so no drama here...till Harry brings the aforementioned civil war

You !@#$%^&!

That was supposed to stay secret!

/me shakes fist at Lennox.

Damn straight. We at TOOL realise that sometimes these things need to be done. We ourselves did precisely the same after Karma War.



Ain't it the truth.

FOK

I can still kick Avenger and poke you right, Tromp?

FOK

I miss the point of cancel TDO Declaration of Neutrality, if you think is realy wothless ther are no need of cancel if you are already a signatory then.

It doesn't clutter up their treaty list?

If TDO's DoN is anything like GPA's, then it doesn't change anything on TDO's end. Everyone would be covered on it, signature or not.

Ah, I see your game: provoke TDO by canceling a treaty with them...so that they become angry and therefore no longer "acting neutral." Then use that as a retro-active pretext for canceling the treaty in the first place. Very clever. Well played, FOK!

This is clearly a disguised attempt to hit TDO because FOK is a hippy hater!

/sarcasm

O/ FOK! Cleaning up the web is always a good thing.

B-b-but I like TOOL and FOK.

About time those neutrals got their come-uppence!

Nice to see fok getting rid of useless treaties. And by that I mean PIATs and ToAs are pretty useless.

vice versa whats the point of keeping it?

But now FOK has less allies, so we can attack them sooner!


Wait, you didn't hear that...

I blame Piggy for those changes...
It's always piggy's fault !

Good luck to our friends at FOK !

paper means nothing , good for you FOK .

o/FOK, nice to clean up some treaties,

Mmm, gotta admit I was hoping this thread did something to address the fact that your personal web is more scattered across Bob than ODN's web before (and technically during) Karma.

Colour me disappointed.

Well, we're quite amicable you see

Maybe they are so cool, everyone wants to get to know them?

It's good to see that other people too regard glorified NAPs as more or less useless. Especially those residing in non-agressive alliances, like FOK.

LMAO, you don't have a clue!

Damn, forgot a !

Good luck to all involved!

o/ FOK

How the hell did you kn.... no it was Tromp, its allways tromp

[ooc]is that a luckdragon with horns?[/ooc]

here's to an era where more people don't need pieces of paper to prove that they're friends.

People: We've you to blame for useless treaties and a cluttered treaty web.
FOK: Ok, we'll remove our useless low level treaties then.
People: Yeah but why a neutral? And why with TOOL? And why a ToA? And why...

I think "People" need to make up their mind.

If they were getting rid of useless treaties why isn't the TOP one listed?

Edit: (Out of Costume) The AUT

Wow, no more neutrality for FOK and the Orange Senate Treaty dissolving.

Really makes ya think.

FOK, it's time to DoW TDO so you can force them to move to Orange and vote for you.

Vote for Michiel de Ruyter for purple senate!
