Shan Revan Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Greetings, fellow citizens of Planet Bob. Five days ago, we gave official notification to Sparta that we intended to activate the Cancellation clause of The Better Than Bronze Treaty as part of our ongoing post-war treaty review. Whilst we have much respect for each other, relations simply were not at a level required of a mdoap level treaty and have not been so for some time. For reference, the activated clause: This treaty shall only be terminated if either undersigned alliance chooses to exit this treaty or if Article III is found to be violated by a member alliance. If one of the undersigned chooses to terminate this pact, they must give five (5) days notice before the treaty is officially dissolved in which they remain fully bonded to the provisions contained therein. Today the 5-day period has expired. It is our sincere wish that Sparta continues to do well in the future and we are sure they will manage to do this. Signed, FinsterBaby, President Shan Revan, Secretary of State, IRON Councilor Delgursh, Deputy Secretary of State, IRON Councilor MCRABT, Minister of Defense, IRON Councilor Griffon, Deputy Minister of Defense, IRON Councilor Peron, Minister of Internal Affairs, IRON Councilor Matt Miller, Minister of the Vault, IRON Councilor Krash, Minister of Labor, IRON Councilor Grizz Goose, Minister of Central Intelligence, IRON Councilor bay102174, Minister of Tables, IRON Councilor Shanenshah, Minister of the Dark Arts, IRON Councilor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwich Controversy Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 A ton of Hegemony-era treaties have very little meaning these days. It's good to see them being cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintenderek Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I didn't know there were many treaties left from alliances of opposite sides in the last war, besides protectorate agreements as part of surrender terms. Well, I guess this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shan Revan Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 I didn't know there were many treaties left from alliances of opposite sides in the last war, besides protectorate agreements as part of surrender terms. Well, I guess this makes sense. There's a few around, and we're not cancelling so much as based on opposite sides (otherwise we'd be cancelling on TOP among others who are some of our best allies) as just the honest truth of what's in the OP.

President Obama Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 A good move from IRON imo. If the relationship is no longer there, the treaty should be canceled. Good move IRON. Good luck in the future Sparta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingEd Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Smart move on IRON's part. As stated above, if the relations required to maintain an MDP or above aren't there anymore then neither should the treaty. It's only logical that once an alliance comes to the conclusion that those relations are over, they cancel any treaties with said party. Best of luck to my friends in IRON as you move forward in this new Era. -KingEd Edit. Edited September 4, 2009 by KingEd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uralica Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Hey, if you can't ask yourself the question "do I love these people enough to take a bullet for them" and end up answering "yes," it's probably for the best that you not be bound by the letter of a spiritless law. Good luck to my brothers and sisters in IRON, and my honourable former foes from Sparta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
