[size="6"][u]Joint Echelon/UCR Announcement[/u][/size]
[u]The Governments of Echelon and UCR have sentenced the following Government Members of Elder's Council, a now defunct micro alliance, to one term of ZI[/u]:
- Zachary the Wise
- Emperor Megatron
- aaronlif
- JonathanST
[u]They were clever enough to commit the following unfavourable actions[/u]:
- Delayed tech deals to both Echelon and UCR nations with no legitimate attempt at setting up a firm repayment schedule.
- Outright refusal to pay up tech owed to Echelon and UCR nations from tech deals
- No prior warning of actions that would delay tech deals to either Echelon or UCR nations (engaging in offensive warfare, filling up aid slots dedicated to Echelon/UCR nations, etc)
- Assistance of Echelon's enemies (ie. rogues) by accepting tech deals and aid, before refusing to send tech and citing "charter concerns" for their failure to follow through
- Poor treatment of Echelon Members by the Elder's Council Government during attempts to resolve problems with individual tech deals
- Slander of Echelon Members by Elder's Council Government Members
- Threats to impose sanctions on Echelon
- A government motion to sanction Echelon
- False claims of protection from UCR and attempts to use this to their advantage during first round of tech re-payment negotiations
- Falsely masking Elder's Council Members as UCR Diplomats on their forums to contribute to the illusion of UCR protection
- Attempts to incite war between Echelon and UCR
- General asshattery
- General stupidity
While no one member of the Elder's Council Government can take the blame for each and every one of these actions, they are guilty in that the above actions were committed by Elder's Council Government as a unified body. They condoned these actions as they refused to seek a resolution [b]&[/b] began to flee to other alliances, and as such are of equal guilt and all subject to the same equal consequences of said actions. At this time, Echelon and UCR request that no alliance accept these members into their alliance, nor offer them refuge until the terms of their sentence (ie. ZI) have been achieved. In the event you inadvertently accepted these individuals as members over the past 5 days, Echelon and UCR can be reached via private channels in order to find a more diplomatic solution. If any of the above listed nations wish to sue for peace of their own accord, they can reach Echelon or UCR via private channels for a diplomatic solution to be discussed.
