magicninja Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 (edited) We'll start with the bad news. Article VIShould either party wish to cancel this agreement for any reason, they must notify the other signatory through diplomatic channels. The treaty is binding for an additional 72 hours from the time of the notification of cancellation. GATO has decided to drop it's protectorate with Midnight Order. While nice guys we just don't think they are putting in the effort they should be. The first few weeks were great and then they dropped off the face of the Bob. Our advisors reported that their forums was a wasteland and I hadn;t seen any member of MO on their iRC in months. I do wish them the best however and maybe this will be just the wake up call they need to get it together. Now for the good news. We have decided to do something GATO has done only one other time in it's storied history, sign a treaty with an aggression clause. The first time was with LUE a long, long time ago. Maybe it's significant, maybe not. You can judge that for yourself. We upgraded our MDP with IAA to an MDoAP. The "Kitty Cats Can Use The Force Too" Pact Mutual Defense optional Aggression Pact between the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization and the Imperial Assault Alliance Preamble In recognition that the Global Alliance and Treaty Organization (hereby known as GATO) and the Imperial Assault Alliance (hereby known as IAA) agree to an extraordinary friendship and to grow and support each other as time passes. Article 1 - Non-Aggression No member nation of either signatory alliance may attack a member nation of the other signatory alliance. Any violation of this will result in immediate reparations equivalent to the damages done. Refusal of the violating nation to pay reparations can result in severe punishment from the alliance they are affiliated with, and the reparations will be paid by another nation of the aggressive alliance. Both alliances also agree to peace between each other until a point in time when this pact is canceled with just cause. Article 2 - Mutual Defense An attack on one signatory alliance is officially considered a direct attack and act of war against the other alliance. The other signatory body will come to the defense of the attacked alliance. This is not optional unless the attacked alliance requests that no defense be made or the pact is terminated with just cause. If the partner of the attacked alliance refuses to defend, this pact may be canceled properly. Article 3 - Optional Aggression If one signatory finds itself marching to war for just cause the other signatory reserves the right to march alongside them. This article is optional and neither party is obligated to go to war alongside the other if they don't want to. Article 4 - Intelligence Any information picked up by a signatory of one alliance that may contain information leading to hurt/danger towards to their signatory partner must be given to the government of the partner alliance as soon as the information is picked up. Any other information or intelligence picked up by one signatory alliance may be given to the other signatory government, but there is no obligation in this case and it is completely optional. Article 5 - Aid If either signatory body is need of financial assistance, the other signatory body is obligated to aid what they can or what is needed to resolve the issue that requires the finances. If the alliance that has received the request for aid does not have the finances to satisfy the partner, they are obligated to aid as much as they can. Article 6 - Termination This treaty may be canceled if one of the articles given in this pact is not met or one of the signatories has done something that shows ill-will towards their partner alliance. Unless both alliances agree to termination, there must be a 48 hour notice of cancellation before the termination takes complete effect. Conclusion Both GATO and the IAA agree to abide by the terms stated in this treaty. By the signatures placed on this pact, both alliances agree to constitute this into alliance law for both alliances.
