Happy Birthday Ribena Berries

Over the last few months United Sovereign Nations government and members have been re-evaluating our Charter and government structure. Following a good deal of lively discussion and debate we have decided that it is time to put the old ways to bed and to move forward with a new structure and Charter. So with a little fanfare we present to you our new Charter and government structure. I'm very sure some of you will be unsurprised by the changes. It was inevitable really. All friends and diplomats are warmly invited to join us to celebrate this momentous occasion on our forum board www.cnusn.net for cake/pie, beer and pretzels. The Charter of the United Sovereign Nations We, the members of the United Sovereign Nations, do hereby draft this Charter to provide a constant and secure alliance on the Maroon Sphere for the membership of our nations, quality and freely elected leadership, and a strong and growing member base. Section 1: The General Assembly Art. 1.1. The General Assembly of USN consists of the totality of our approved members. Art. 1.2. As a democratic alliance of sovereign nations, we acknowledge the General Assembly as the ultimate statutory forum that delegates our representation and leadership to members who can best embody our values and pursue our vital interests. Art. 1.3. The GA of USN concedes to delegate the alliance's representation and leadership powers to an unelected alliance Owner and a freely elected Government. Art. 1.4. Each member of the United Sovereign Nations is granted freedom of speech and expression on the alliance boards, in accordance with the Forum Registration Agreement. Art. 1.5. Any GA member has the right to vote in the GA and run for Government office, as well as put forward plans and ideas to the Government for further discussion. Art. 1.6. In return for their membership, USN members are expected to regularly check the forums and keep themselves up to date on any important information, as well as be willing to follow any and all instructions from Government officials that do not contravene this Charter or other USN legal decision. Section 2: The Voting System Art. 2.1. The voting system in the GA of USN consists of regular pools and referendums. Art. 2.2. Regular pools shall last for 3 days and shall be deemed as valid regardless the rate of participation of the GA members. Art. 2.3.

[quote name='Vladimir Stukov II' timestamp='1337912912' post='2971856'] Six years later and you have accomplished nothing except being a punching bag. You had so much potential! [/quote] Have you had your eyes closed for 6 years? Congrats on 6 years my dear dear friends. to the Penguins

Forget it

[quote name='Brehon' timestamp='1334391015' post='2952988'] How come you so brilliant people touting your agenda so quickly forget the good that was involved. The peace, growth and etc Invicta enjoyed prior to Karma. Oh wait because it doesn't fit YOUR agenda to comment on that. Be a man (or woman) and say it all vs being snits. [/quote] Yes because the lost of allies and members due to a sphere change was completely beneficial to them. NPO have done nothing but harm Invicta and when it might just be time to repay their unwavering loyalty you kick them in the teeth. Who's next TPF?

Congrats Shadow sippy

Forget it

It's a sad day when 2 friends of yours break up. I hope that in the future this relationship can be return to something like it's forumer self.

[quote name='johnathan buck' timestamp='1328894850' post='2917889'] BFF; Really cut it, you guys are making your bloc look like a bunch of pathetic idiotic children so why not stop it while you have the chance and just move on. [/quote] Let's be fair here it's Europa and an ex Fear guy making BFF's look worse then normal. "checks if Lord Boris has made an more lame call out threads"

[quote name='Canik' timestamp='1328856872' post='2917754'] They are choosing to be your satellites. I think they are doubling-down on your relationship, hopefully they get some returns for their investment this time. It's not a bet I would take, but when you're desperate.. [/quote] Shows your lack of knowledge as usual. [quote] Sorry, where was I? Ah, right. Yes, no matter what you do, no matter what you say. Somebody, somewhere will criticize and hate you. Never FEAR though, if you make good choices and keep at it, your reputation will improve and CN will reward you. Until then, suck it up and deal with it. [/quote] The choice that would be considered good enough for the people handing out rewards is not 1's in good conciseness i would make but is not like friendship means much to you. Or the truth for that matter

[quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1328829699' post='2917481'] I did ask him why he left, and he said it's because Cora is destroying the once-proud USN by refusing to let it die. Any other questions? [/quote] How is that power hungry? Busting a gut and being pig headed i can understand from what u've put. Not power hungry.

[quote name='Kongo Jack' timestamp='1328829247' post='2917479'] Cora had this issue with trying to overrun CDT, it was a pretty big deal. You seem new, or maybe I'm just that old, either way yeah she has had quite a few problems with power control. [/quote] Funny i remeber bullying casue we wouldn't pretend a treaty was something it wasn't. I remeber my ideas rubbished then parraded 6 months later as some1 elses. I remeber standing up for an allaince that didn't want to disband against people who think they owed sole rights to it. Twice. But thats old history which i try and let go of untill 1 of u bright spark keep brining it up.

[quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1328828090' post='2917463'] Same, because BBF doesn't exist. [/quote] Thats kinda of the irony. My english writing isn't great yet it seems u need me to point out to you where you have made the mistake in your thinking ragarding that term

[quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1328827887' post='2917458'] [/color] [color=#1C2837] [/color] [color="#1c2837"]Please point me to your apology to BFF. You apologized to FEAR. The years of therapy my members will doubtlessly need to go through to get past this scarring moment of personal defeat (We lost to UPN, remember?) is something you cannot simply wish away with words. [/color] [/quote] No where do i see a requirment to apologise [b]to[/b] BFF only [b]about[/b] their involvement. [quote]Robster83 shall issue an apology for his actions that [b]led to the involvement[/b] of Blood For Friends on the UPN front of the conflict.[/quote] I have highlighted the section which u are confused about for future referance

[quote name='Kongo Jack' timestamp='1328826805' post='2917446'] This is probably the stupidest thing you've ever said. Is your alliance still smaller then TLK? [/quote] I didn;t realise u all cared about "how big yours was compared to everyone elses" Jack. Rather pathetic really. Becasue you don;t understand how Polaris is better then the likes of you is the very reason you will always be nothing compared to them.

[quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1328824460' post='2917428'] We wanted to give you guys peace so we could help our mutual ally. We forgot how far up Polar's ass you really were. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed getting your entire bloc hit for your worthless ally. [/quote] Polairs is worth 10,000 of you.

Great to see UPN finally get peace. Now all we need is my dear friends in Polaris to get out and jobs a gooden UPN

I hope she is found safe and sound soon

Not the way i remember it Canik but then betraying UPN (your then allies) was acceptable i suppose. TOP does nothing except for it's own benefit. I hope your don't have to relay on TOP to help you out in the future when it doesn't suit their game plan

Please delete

[quote name='ClashCityRocker' timestamp='1322898462' post='2860401'] If you had been able to activate mdps this fast before now, CDT mightve never fallen apart [/quote] If FEAR didn't try to re-write treaties to suit themselves CDT would still be alive. Your selfish actions killed CDT. Spin it anyway you want truth is still truth

[quote name='Jacapo Saladin' timestamp='1322789032' post='2858704'] surprised rodrod managed to stay in the alliance long enough to post this. Must mean he is due for an alliance hope soon. [/quote] Now now please don't go giving him ideas. I just got him tied down

So MK needs VE to hold their hands before they will help NSO. Legion have won this war NSO are just being babies (as usual)Time for them to put their big boy pants on and say "we surrender"

Help we're doomed............. again Sippy
