From time-to-time, legends are unfolded. Places of majesty, things of wonderment, are thrust upon the world upon their discovery. Throughout history and our lives their has been discussion of a perpetual 'paradise' in the world and where it's located, what it's called, and whom inhabits it. Today, Paradise is revealed. Over the past several weeks, work to bring this forth under the call of 'Paradise is coming' has been undertaken. Finally, we find ourselves setting out from our original destinations and arriving at paradise incarnate: [b]Shangri-La[/b]. Where once comrades and brothers were seperated by their affiliation to the 'New Sakura Order' or 'Tetris', such things are no longer.

The bonds these two alliances once shared have come to meant something more as we've headed towards our destination. We've become closer, and the identities we once held strongly too are slowly becoming lost in the fog as we spend more time together. We've been good allies for going on almost two years now, and that bond in itself was never tested, never broken. After all of this hard work, after some bad times and good times, we find ourselves as those who have reached Paradise, together. Together, anything is possible. The world is our oyster, and it's time to set foot into it.

With that said, tl;dr Tetris and the New Sakura Order are hereby disbanded. We've merging together, and this bond we've shared seperate these two years was something special. In place of our former identities, we've decided to set out on the path to something greater, together. We reserve the right to our former identities and their respective imagery. Both the Tetris & New Sakura Order AA's will be protected for a month in order to assist with the stragglers that still haven't made their way over. While Tetris was Green, and NsO was Pink, our new color sphere will be [b]White[/b].

We're having a party tonight and enjoying ourselves, you can find us at #shangri-la or on our brand new forums (Thanks, Diablofan!) [url=http://cn-shangrila.net]here[/url]. Without further ado, here's our charter and our first government:

[quote][center][img]http://i.imgur.com/tPljZ.png[/img][/center]
I - Preamble
[b]Article I. [/b]To safeguard the collective knowledge inside the technological halls within our walls, we do what has to be done. The knowledge of the universe at our fingertips, yet only mastering knowledge relevant to our situation, we gain an edge over those who threaten us and our paradise. Alone we accomplish nothing, it is only when we stand united in both mind and soul that we are indomitable. Strength of Character and Will are the core of our essence, gathering power as we unleash the mysteries and knowledge of the universe on the unworthy, whose minds cannot comprehend the majesty. It is thus that Shangri-La comes into being, from the bond of two alliances joining into one Utopia.

Like all in Shangri-La, this is an emotional yet important passing of two alliances that were central in creating our identity and home. To that end, I bid farewell to our homes and cheer for the coming times, be they good or bad, as our friends and good allies walk alongside us.

That being said, I present the current treaty set of Shangri-La:

[center][size=6][b]Hereno's Fictional Penis[/b][/size][/center]
[center][size=5][b]A Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Treaty[/b][/size][/center]

[b]Introduction[/b]
The New Sith Order and Tetris are very similar alliances. One of our similarities is that we like each other (another one is that we hate most of you but that's neither here nor now). We like each other so much that we decided to sign this treaty that will probably result in a lot of “lolwut” and “no u didn't”. Honestly I don't really know why people expected better of either of us though. Anyways, here goes.

[b]Article I: Peace is a Cake[/b]
NSO and Tetris recognize that a high score means working together, and therefore will not engage in hostilities against their partners in crime. This includes unpausing the game while the other is on the toilet.

[b]Article II: Impending Doom[/b]
Both signatories will inform the others if they come across information that may be pertinent to interruption of respective world domination plans.

[b]Article III: Aid is for the Weak[/b]
Line blocks and lightsabers should be given to help the weaker, crappier alliance if they have found themselves to have failed. This is not mandatory, but is recommended in the spirit of this union.

[b]Article IV: The Good Stuff[/b]
Should one of the signatories be subject to attack, the New Sith Order and Tetris hereby agree to mutually defend one another by any means requested. This includes all manner of things like coalition channels, 3AM queries, and blaming Youwish. Should one of the signatories be subject to attack for fighting due to the obligations of another treaty (which is unlikely because we're both bound to get rolled at some point for our own dumb actions), the mutual defense clause of this treaty will be considered optional.

[b]Article V: The 'Other' Good Stuff[/b]
If either signatory decides to attack a third party, that signatory may request military assistance from the other signatory. That signatory may choose to, but are not obliged to, honor the request, but it is encouraged.

[b]Article VI: eLawyers[/b]
Both signatories reserve the right to use their heads and request that the not-being-attacked alliance stays out of the conflict, in spite of the obligatory nature of this treaty. The not-being-attacked alliance should respect the wishes of their partner, but is not obligated to. The intelligent would see this as pretty common sense behavior, but the OWF is in no way intelligent.

[b]Article VII: Extermination[/b]
Should either party feel the need to end this marvellous treaty, handcrafted by Varianz and Hereno themselves over a pair of hot keyboards, they may spit in the face of our efforts and choose to end our time together. Reasons will be given in private for such blasphemy, and this treaty will continue to matter for 72 hours after the cessation of said awkward breakup conversation.

[center][size=5][b]A Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Treaty[/b][/size][/center]


[b]Preamble[/b]
Over time, the Libertarian Socialist Federation and Shangri-La have strengthen their bonds of friendship. This had been done through the [s]marriage[/s] civil union between Haruhi and HollandSomethingtoolong. This Union will serve to bring stability to our two alliances and the people within them for long to come.

[b]Article I: Peace[/b]
Both SL and LSF hereby agree that no hostile action shall be taken against one another. Both of the signatory alliances and their respective member nations recognize and will respect each other's sovereignty and political independence. Should a dispute arise, both alliances agree to settle the matter in a manner befitting the friendship found among both alliances.

[b]Article II: Intelligence[/b]
Should either the LSF or SL come into possession of information that involves the other signatory, they are obliged to share said information to said signatory.

[b]Article III: Aid[/b]
If either the LSF or SL finds that they need military or financial aid, they shouldn't feel any guilt asking the other signatory for such help. The other signatory is encouraged to help out the other alliance.

[b]Article IV: Military Aid[/b]
If either signatory is attacked by a third party, the other signatory is obliged to defend the other signatory. The obligation shall be considered annulled in the event that a signatory was brought into a war due to another treaty obligation. Despite this, both signatories still maintain the right to defend one another in this given situation.

If either signatory decide to attack a third party, that signatory may request military assistance from the other signatory. That signatory may choose to, but are not obliged to, honor the request, but it is encouraged.

[b]Article V: Cancellation[/b]
In the unfortunate event that one signatory decides to go their separate ways with the other signatory, they are to give 72 hours’ notice to the other signatory with reasons through private channels. This treaty will remain in effect throughout that time period.

[center][size=5][b]A Mutual Defense and Optional Aggression Treaty[/b][/size][/center]

[b]Preamble[/b]
Greener pastures lie beyond the valley. Not all are able to reach Paradise together, yet some form bonds strong enough to test time and achieve true happiness: friendship. Sparked by the fires that blazed in the Legend of Sakura, the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization and Shangri-La have achieved true happiness in the finest sense and have come together to sign this document.

[b]Article I: Independence and Sovereignty[/b]
Both parties acknowledge the independent sovereignty of each alliance and will endeavor not to interfere with the affairs of the other. This agreement does not imply approval or support by one party for the actions of the other towards non-parties to this agreement.

[b]Article II: Peace[/b]
No member of either party may participate in or support military action, or espionage, against the other party or its members.

[b]Article III: Intelligence Sharing[/b]
Both parties agree to promptly and discreetly share all information pertaining to the safety or stability of the other. Shared information shall not be disclosed to non-parties to this agreement except with the explicit permission of the other.

[b]Article IV: Mutual Defense:[/b]
An attack on one party will be treated as an attack on the other. If either party is attacked due to honouring an agreement with a foreign alliance, the obligation of the other to defend them becomes optional, although encouraged in the spirit of this treaty.

[b]Article V: Optional Aggression:[/b]
The signatories may follow each other into aggressive war.

[b]Article VI: Termination[/b]
The departure alone of either party terminates this agreement. The agreement shall remain in effect 48 hours following the notification of the other party.

[center][size=6][b]Cacti in the Orient ~ Phantasmagoria of Eastern Wonderland[/b][/size][/center]
[center][size=5][b]An Optional Defense Treaty[/b][/size][/center]

[b]The Embodiment of Scarlet Devil[/b]
Under that strange scarlet moon where cherry blossoms blow and blocks of different shapes fall from the sky it is said that the moving cacti and the representatives of the oriental paradise met. The Random Insanity Alliance and Shangri-La - in recognition of their friendship, common values and interests and in pursuit of their collective security, strength, and prosperity - came together one night under the light of the red moon. Where once there had been conflict and anger now stood friendship and understanding. The two vowed to continue to move forward from the darkness of the past to a new and shining future.

[b]Perfect Cherry Blossom[/b]
In order to work together, several basic guidelines were set up by the representatives. It was agreed that a peaceful co-existence between the two would be maintained. Neither would try to purposely harm the other or help those trying to harm the other in any way.

[b]Subterranean Animism[/b]

Endless whispers are said to flow through the winds of the world. It was agreed that should either hear any dangerous whispers that could effect the other they would quickly share it in a discrete underground area.

[b]Undefined Fantastic Object[/b]
Ownership of Florida Site 51, created with the [url="http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Unknown_Entity_Accords"]Unknown Entity Accords[/url], shall be split between the two and continue all operations. Its primary focus shall be shifted to the study of the various Undefined Fantastic Objects that were recently moved to the facility.

[b]Scarlet Weather Rhapsody[/b]
The weather of the world has always been unpredictable, calms and storms can appear or disappear at any moment. The two agreed that they could always ask the other for help should they get caught up in any kind of storm. Such assistance would not be required but would be encouraged in order to strive for the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil.

[b]Hopeless Masquerade[/b]
Should the bonds of the two fray, it is said that they must partake in the Hopeless Masquerade. If they are unable to find and reconcile with each other within the ever changing crowd they may then sever their contract to the gods. The Hopeless Masquerade is said to last at least two days at which point the two may then choose to go their separate ways into the faceless crowd.

What up everyone? Its been a minute since I last addressed you all. Well, as you may have noticed Tetris and the New Sakura Order are merging to create a new alliance, Shangri-la. You may be asking yourself, "Why would such a !@#$%*in' alliance of three years merge with a parade of foreign cartoon characters?" Because they are !@#$@#$ awesome, that's why. We have been to hell and back with these mother $%&@ers. Christ, most of them were even a part of our alliance for a period of time. It all started back when SOS was treatied to some friends of ours. We were new on the scene and looking for some new brajs to hang with, and since a couple of our members had similar interests, we dispatched some of them over to their boards to see if our flows could jive. Things worked out reasonably well and we signed a treaty, and then sometime after we upgraded to a MDoAP. Long story short, some !@#$ eventually went down and we sided with the dudes who weren't raving, power-tripping maniacs. We hosted an after funk at our place, and when everyone regained consciousness they peaced it to do their own thing, and we became one of the tightest two alliance wolf pack this !@#$ hole has ever seen. We wanted to roll some people, some people wanted to roll us. Some people eventually did roll us. It was all great. Anyways, I'm sure you all know how this place has been lately, so seeing as how our two groups were closer than two things that are really close to each other, it only made sense that we shack up and split the bills for one place. I know what you are thinking, "What a disgusting !@#$%^& child of malformed parents. I think I'm going to be sick." To that I say, "Sounds like like a personal problem, bro." Anyways it will be pretty dope to be back with many of our former members such as WingedWolf and Dragonknight1000.


Anyways so we've had some kick ass times the past three years. As some may know, this isn't the first incarnation of Tetris. This is not even the second. Yeah, that's right, this is the third time I started and killed this god damn alliance. But this time wasn't as !@#$%* as the other two, because this time I didn't do it alone. Rather than being the lone dictator of a miniscule band of misfits, USMC123, Granat, and Kean made up the other three founders to make up a slightly larger band of misfits. We had some of our old spots looking out for us, including treaties with Ragnarok from where USMC123 stumbled out of, along with ARES (WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY) It wasn't long after that we picked up the others who would pretty much become the backbone of the alliance. These people included such personalities as Pollard, Rhaemyr, and BladeX. Well we got on for a little while and quickly became buds with super chill folks such as Epicurean and CIA. Epicurean sadly didn't last that long, but we picked up some cool cats, the most memorable of which is Troop who has recently left us (please come back to me boo.) Also; TTTTTTTTTAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSSK. CIA was just to flippin sweet to leave our hands off of and we nommed them up. We've still got a few of them kickin' it with us, pushing around strollers. These guys include ali5541 and King Waleed. Amos and Ace were with us for awhile, and it was tight, they should really drop us a line somtime. Oh !@#$, I didn't even mention that we had a protectorate. They were awesome. This was after we had got a treaty with VE, and we jointly supplied the Misfit Nations with protection. These people were pretty tight, and Kean and I had known them for quite a bit from being in NPO (oh god D:) Speaking of kean, come back god damnit. Anyways yeah MaskofBlue, Brennan, and a hole host of others were there, but eventually they went inactive and dwindled away, some of them are still with us today, which $%&@ yeah. VE, I still think you guys are cool. Impero and I go way back to OR and then later OV. Those were good days, met a lot of sweet ass people. Baltus, you turned out to be and awesome dude for nearly the entire time we've been around it seems.

Random mention of Bernkastel. Oh god, what a wreck lol.

So along time before most of that Hereno joined us sometime. Hereno was my boy in some super awesome channel when he got tired of the Corporation. That reminds me, I need to ask this supposed pinko how he wound up in an alliance named the Corporation. But once this guy joined, things were exponentially more awesome. While I'm on the topic of bad ass mother $%&@ers, Tank must be mentioned. Also Ken, you are pretty ok.

And how could I possibly make a grand speech of Tetris' hijinks without mentioned SLCB. You dudes were really true brajs. We met and instantly hit it off. Poached some crap alliances, frustrated dudes with a secret treaty activation, hell yeah, good times. Someday hopefully we can ruffle some people's jimmies again. But until then I'm at least glad that we still keep in contact and all of that.

NSO, you dudes are awesome. Showed that you could kick ass in the worst situations, once again. You don't know how much we appreciate it. Maybe the odds will be more in our favor next time around. Anyways, we will still be kickin' it around together in the future so hell yeah. Rayvon, youwish, KainIIC, and all the others, you are awesome. But not you, Pollard.

Then there is all the people that !@#$ happened with. Arrnea, your medal for beating us in the race to the dustbin of history is in the mail. NEW, you kicked our asses pretty good it was fun. Polar and UINE, lulz. GDA, it was still a white peace :troll: Legion, you guys actually turned out to be half way alright.


If I forgot you, too bad, its Friday night and I'm fixin' to drink. But anyways, thanks for the good times, it was something special.

Peace out, girl scouts.

As one of the founding and last members of the New Sakura Order, I thought I would write a few words about the alliance. We formed about 2 years ago as a splinter of the SOS Brigade. since then we had made it our goal to survive and thrive in this world we call Bob. We've managed to do so for two years, but out run is coming to an end. But this is part of that same goal of surviving and thriving, out of a want to make ourselves better, along with our best bros from Tetris, we have decided to merge together to form our new home together of Shangri-La.

I was one of the original government members that is still in government in the New Sakura Order. I have enjoyed every minute of being in this alliance and I am sad to see the alliance go. I did voice my opposition of this merger to begin with but Elrich, the other original government member still here, convinced me that the alliance image would still be there in our new home and I was convinced. So, we're not really leaving. The alliances of the New Sakura Order and Tetris are just deciding to move in with each other.

Before we go though, there are a few things I want to do and say. First off, I would like to thank every one of our allies that we have had.[list]
[*]To the no longer existant IAA: Thank you so much for being our protector until you faded away. You were awesome to work with and I enjoyed it. I am sorry for the entire government to have caused you guys a bit of trouble.
[*]To GATO and LoSS: Thanks for picking up the protectorate from IAA when they passed. You guys are awesome for doing that.
[*]To GATO: This is for upgrading with us to an MDoAP, I've enjoyed working with you in the New Sakura Order and will continue to look forward with working with ya as a member of Shangri-La's government.
[*]To the AOD Brigade: You guys were awesome. It was saddening to see us go our separate ways, but it happens.
[*]To LSF: Let's keep the party going while we're in Shangri-La, you're awesome people and its great to work with ya.
[*]To the dead SOS Brigade: It was cool working with our old home after things cooled down from the whole Arrnea thing.
[*]To the defunct BTA: You guys were cool, rest in peace bros.
[*]To RIA: You've been a riot guys, lets keep the insanity going with Shangri-La.
[/list]

I want to close this off by saying that this is not a goodbye, but rather a new beginning. We're still around, we're just going to be living in a new home.
