Bob Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) The Aztecs had no choice. Weeks ago, the daughter of the tlàtoāni, was kidnapped by a rivaling city, vastly stronger than the tribes of Masons, Dark Templars, and Northern Lights. They marched on the city, knowing the battle was lost before it started. Their honor demanded it. The battle took place outside of the city, on the day of their arrival. Thousands were killed, and the Aztecs were routed by the forces of the city. The Aztec leaders called for a retreat to avoid the loss of the remainder of their forces. There were no plan they saw that could win the day for their men. A man dressed in all black walked into the tent, having snuck through the camp. They recognized him as the a roaming tribe of masked warriors called samurai. He offered the aid of his tribe, and the Aztecs accepted. Under the cover of night, the city was taken. The masked warriors disguised in the garb of the city guard scaled the walls, dispatching the confused fortress guards. The warriors made their way to the gates of the city. The army lie in wait outside the walls. While the men of the city slept, the Aztecs slipped through the front door with the help of their newfound allies. The Aztecs moved through the city from building to building, slaughtering all the men, imprisoning the women and children. The disguised warriors made their way to the castle in the center of the city. They warned the guards of the assault on the city, drawing them away from the throne room where the tlàtoāni's daughter was held. They slaughtered the king's guard, and seized the tlàtoāni's daughter back. The remainder of the city's guard surrendered and were put into chains with the women and children. The city was put to the torch. The Aztecs and their new allies went back to the temple victorious, bringing with them the tlàtoāni's daughter. The men of the Dark Templar, the Northern Lights, and the Masons gathered to sacrifice those captured, in honor of the samurai and their continued friendship alongside the Gods. The high priest rips out the hearts of all those captured, shouting out, "HEAR ME, and BEHOLD..." Assistance, Zeal, Technology, Economics, and Combat Treaty Article I - Membership: Admission of an alliance into AZTEC is by invitation only; This invitation will only be extended with unanimous approval of all member alliances. Article II - Sovereignty: Each member alliance of AZTEC remains sovereign, but understands that the actions of one member can affect the others. Article III - Leadership and Governance: Given the gravity of this pact, it is reasonably assumed that the rightful leaders of each member alliance will maintain close and timely contact. As has become the operating tradition of AZTEC, decisions are generally made upon reaching consensus among members through informal discussion, fostered by close friendship and familiarity. In the rare instance that consensus cannot be easily reached, formal decision making procedures are contained in Article VIII. By convention and through formal agreement regarding bloc decisions, no one person is the "leader" of AZTEC; We work together or not at all. However, as circumstances may necessitate, a spokesperson for AZTEC may be named by and from among its members given strategic need. Article IV - Economics: Each member alliance understands and agrees that the strength of one member is the security of all. This principle guides each of us to consider the needs of our fellows as our own, including (but not limited to) resources trades, technology markets, rebuilding aid, and charitable works. Additionally, AZTEC reserves, administrates, and protects the alliance affiliation called "Aztech" to be utilized (or not) at any time in whatever fashion bloc member leaders determine appropriate. Article V – Mutual Defense: An attack on one member shall be considered an attack on all members. Should any member come under attack, it is mandatory that all members come to the assistance of the defender. Assistance shall be defined as military, financial, intelligence, and all other form of aids other members are able to provide. All members coming to the aid of another will use all means available to them to aid the attacked member. Article VI – Mutual Aggression: In the event that one member alliance requires assistance in an aggressive war against a Non-AZTEC Alliance, all members are required to assist by means of political, financial, and military aid. Members should notify each other in a timely manner about upcoming military operations, or about potential threats; The element of surprise is best used against foe, not friend. No AZTEC member alliance may withdraw from (either a defensive, or an offensive) battle until all member alliances have reached a point of exit; Nothwithstanding a stretegic bloc decision to rotate some or all nation rulers of a member alliance to reserve status. Article VII – Intelligence: If one member Alliance receives sensitive information regarding any other member Alliance, they agree to share said information and the source of information, with the intent to protect the security and honor of their fellow AZTECs. Guides obtained legally from other alliances are not to be shared unless permission is given by that alliance. Information shared between members is to be kept confidential from outside parties unless expressed permission to the contrary is given by the provider of said intelligence. Article VIII – Remedy, Amendment, Expulsion or Withdrawal: AZTEC has thrived for years on the frank, open, and close communication of each alliance's leaders and their memberships. However, disagreements can happen in any relationship. The first and preferred method of resolution is always discussion among the member alliance leaders. If informal debate cannot resolve differences, each AZTEC member agrees to abide by the formal resolution of this Article: Each member alliance shall appoint two delegates to represent them, allowing two total votes per alliance. A three-fourths majority vote on an issue, (including but not limited to; bloc policy decisions, charter ammendment, or a final resort vote to expel a member alliance from the bloc,) shall be accepted by each member alliance as binding and final. A member alliance may at any time withdraw from AZTEC, following the customary and respectful 48-hour private notice period. ___________________________________________ Signed for The Grand Lodge of Freemasons Penedono, Grand Master Lemax, Grand Chancellor Signed for Aurora Borealis Drake Spoke, Triumvir Jutopia, Triumvir Sarkin, Triumvir Signed for The Dark Templar Bob - Triumvir, Master of Nothing, Commander of Few Cartah - Triumvir, some !@#$%* called Supa_troop3r TiTaN - Triumvir, Warden of the North Farnsworth, High Templar of Foreign Affairs Starcraftmazter, High Templar of Doomcave, Master of AKGs.
