TRON IX

Good luck out there NEW and DB4D. Don't make too much of a mess.

[center][img]http://i49.tinypic.com/256s8p0.png[/img] [size=6][font=times new roman', times, serif][u][b]Enough is Enough.[/b][/u][/font][/size] Ai was founded on the principles of honor, integrity and respect. In this vein, we don't go around messing with other alliances, and we expect that in return. However, there are a few alliances that insist on trying to push our buttons. This is not acceptable. On Christmas Day, an Umbrella nation, Masterof9Puppets (Mo9P), decided to stain the good name of Kronos by going rogue under that AA, and declaring an unwarranted [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=114492"]war[/url] on Ai. While a minor annoyance, Ai understands that rogues are part of life. There has arisen around the phenomenon of roguery many reciprocal understandings: Rogues are not to be aided, sanction requests honored regardless of politics, and the right of refusal to the rogue's defensive slots. This last understanding ensures that the rogue is most completely countered by the party most invested in the rogue's prosecution. While there is no "inter-alliance law" as such, the system of reciprocity in many areas of inter-alliance interaction ensures that non-allied and even competing alliances can handle matters of common interest equitably, without malice, and in the best interests of all involved. Despite the well-understood norms, Mo9P's friends in Umbrella immediately interjected themselves into the Ai-Kronos situation, taking defensive slots on Mo9P without consulting Ai. Misunderstandings occur on the world stage, and Ai is willing to accommodate. It was made clear to Umbrella by Ai that this action annoyed us, but more importantly hindered our prosecution of the matter. The transgressions of over-eager Umbrella nations have interrupted the important staggers needed to keep Mo9P at war, which will result in his escape to peace mode where he will be able to rebuild, replenish, and set the stage for his own maximum damage to Ai. Despite our protestations during the first round where defensive slots were taken preventing the stagger, Mo9P came out of peace mode and his defensive slots were taken by Umbrella [url="http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc438/RogalDorn12/MoP14janwarslots_zps219bd80b.png"]in 4 minutes[/url]. This will enable Mo9P to again escape to peace mode and mount another full attack a month from now. Umbrella's actions are a slap in the face to Ai, and will cause less damage to Mo9P and much more to Ai in the long run. If the situation were reversed and Ai wanted slots on a nation at war with Umbrella, we would have approached the leadership of Umbrella first. If an Ai member were to take a slot on a nation Umbrella was at war with, we would be quick to jump into Umbrella leadership's query, apologize and attempt to make it right by them. Umbrella did not and does not extend this sort of respect to us. Instead, they have offered and stuck by an explanation that Umbrella has its own exclusive right to Mo9P's slots regardless of Ai's security and regardless of established norms. Their flippant dismissal of our stake in this matter adds insult to injury. For years, Umbrella has grown used to the ability to run roughshod over any party in situations such as these, and for years that is just what they have done with the backing of their allies. They believe that fear and memory of the recent past will cow Ai into ignoring this affront while they giggle amongst themselves at our expense. They are mistaken; that time is over for Umbrella. PS: Our fantabulous friends heard there were casualties to be had and would like a stake in the restoration of a little respect on Bob... therefore: [b][u]The undersigned alliances hereby declare war upon Umbrella.[/u][/b] [b]Any counter attacks as a result of this action will be viewed as an attack upon all.

Wow that's almost twice what I have.

Nice job! Bros be bros. -Tron(beforehos)ix

Roguing Ai was sooo last week. ..and maybe next week?

Nice pick PPO. TOR are good folk. o/

Very Interesting. I realize members have differing views even from each other on what the whole thinks or believes, even if its just one members opinion, some of these things are likely true. Unless as MK gov/members have indicated that the OP completely made it all up. I know for certain a few of the things in the OP are true, therefore its not [u]all[/u] completely made up. So if the official stance is that its all hogwash, It makes it a little easier to tell who is BS'ing. But by all means.. continue. This is great stuff.

[quote name='HellAngel' timestamp='1355577657' post='3064050'] The OP is the worst person to post this treaty. You could have choosen someone we actually like. [/quote] [quote name='Wu Tang Clan' timestamp='1355577808' post='3064051'] The OP is the worst person. Period. [/quote] [quote name='The Pansy' timestamp='1355578034' post='3064052'] Timberland is the best of a bad bunch [/quote] [quote name='HellAngel' timestamp='1355578332' post='3064054'] You coulda asked Crymson. [/quote] [quote name='Sigrun Vapneir' timestamp='1355579499' post='3064064'] Everyone who posts in this thread is terrible. Nonetheless, it's quite a nice pair of flags. And the treaty is right nice as well. [/quote] [quote name='Systemfailure' timestamp='1355579690' post='3064066'] Timberland is the reason Gremlins cant have nice things... [/quote] [quote name='Lord Levistus' timestamp='1355580014' post='3064068'] Posting in a terrible thread, we should all be ashamed of ourselves. Especially Timberland. [/quote] Love is in the air... doot doooo. Nice job all. Glad to see this come to fruition.

My deepest condolences. I consider Jack a true friend. I will miss him greatly. This is a big shock to us here in Ai. He has been the life of our channel since we've formed and was a close friend to many of us ex-Valhallans. Many people here are grieving today and it just goes to show how many people he has touched and how much he will be missed. Goodbye Princess Doomee. o/

[b]March 2007: [color=#800080]The Legion[/color] -[/b] I joined the day I rolled. March 7th. That's 12 days before the start of GW3. GW3 started and Legion gov got paranoid and booted every nation that had joined Legion within the last two weeks. I of course had no idea what was going on. My battalion commander told me to declare on any alliance who was attacking Legion. So I picked MHA and declared on 3 nations. I was countered by 3 more MHA nations.. after this I was told i was no longer a member of Legion. So I fought 6 MHA guys for 5 days on my own and finally ZI'd all of them. I asked MHA what I needed to do since Legion abandoned my nation. I was told I needed to surrender, Change AA to "MHA PoW" and send all my tech to the guys I was at war with. I thought.. "to hell with that". I let the wars expire. Switched my AA to "Valhalla Applicant" and escaped MHA's PoW camp. Nobody noticed. (One day they will find out and come after me for that 12 tech I just know it.) [b]March 2007 - July 2012: [color=#800080]Valhalla[/color] [/b]- Merged to form Anarchy Inc. [b]July 2012 - Present:[/b] [color=#800080][b]Anarchy Inc.[/b][/color] I've never actually left an alliance. I guess I'm just one of those few Loyalists out here.

[quote name='Bob Ilyani' timestamp='1354384501' post='3059072'] Sensing some Graphix work on the treaty image. Very nice. [/quote] Thanks. But Graphix has been in retirement for awhile now.

[quote name='Johnny Apocalypse' timestamp='1354382470' post='3059057'] It's how it happened before our side of the block got our grubby mits on the reigns of power and it's what will happen to whoever takes hold of them next because it is political expedient to do so to retain your grip on said reigns. Besides, history is cyclical, since when did anyone on this planet learn from their mistakes? Friendship has no place in politics. [/quote] I can't actually count how many times people have learned from their mistakes, because there are many. In the Karma war Valhalla was let off with decent terms, People threw major fits over it. I made a public promise here that Valhalla had learned a great deal from that and would never again serve crazy terms to someone who was honoring a treaty. I was practically laughed out of the thread. Guess what? It was true. And as every promise I've made, I've kept it. The next time we were in that position against NpO..UPN..CCC..RIA..GOD.. we took nothing from them. Then we took grief from the same people who laughed at my promise for being too lenient. We learned from many mistakes in Valhalla. That's why we continued to grow and prosper while the rest of Bob was shrinking. So the truth is.. there are many delusional meat-heads here that keep recycling the same unoriginal bs meme's over and over again. You want to believe that everything is the same. You THINK you know what's going on. You THINK you know what we want to do. As usual, you are wrong. And that's fine, because the more wrong you are, the easier it is to achieve our goals. Try to break a political tie and try to break a tie based on friendship and see which one is easier. I'll take politics with friends every day. Maybe you just have the wrong kind of friends? I guess I've been a leader long enough to know the truth. Despite the paranoid, butthurt, whiney-ass pukes who are spewing forth more ridiculous hypocritical drivel than could be held by the oceans of Bob, we do not want to become the central power. We would honestly rather there not be a central power. The atmosphere of Bob would be a better place without one. If you don't believe that, good. There are a growing amount of people that do though. Keep up the delusions. They are amusing.

The signatories of Duckroll have voted to expand our Project by adding Argent. We probably should have asked them first but. meh, They will get over it. [size=5][u][b]The Duckroll Project[/b][/u][/size] [b][u]Article I: Military Central Command[/u][/b] The signatory alliances will participate in cooperative military planning and joint operations through the same. Methods may include central forums and/or IRC channels, guide/resource sharing, limited shared private forum access, and/or other agreed upon cooperative initiatives. Any such cooperation will involve all signatories as equals. [u][b]Article II: Wartime Cooperation[/b][/u] In times of war, military operations of the signatories will be centralized, with the signatories most efficiently sharing war duties with each other in order to maximize damage given. This is not required by this document, it is simply what we do. [u][b]Article III: New Signatories[/b][/u] The Duckroll may add new members with a unanimous agreement of all signatories. [u][b]Article IV: Withdrawal[/b][/u] Any signatory may withdraw from this agreement at any time. There is no method of forced removal, if someone can't play nice with the rest of us, we'll just all leave and start over without you. A cancellation period need not exist as there is no binding resolutions on this project, only our word to stand with each other against any obstacle.

[quote name='pd73bassman' timestamp='1354237477' post='3058263'] Wow, can't say I would have ever seen the day my old Valhalla friends would agree to this treaty. The times are a changing I suppose, or maybe this is just a treaty of convienence for AI. [/quote] Yeah The same thing was said about us and NPO. But no, things change. I didn't put my name on either of them for convenience.

It's wonderful to see this new friendship growing. I hope it continues to prosper. Maybe with a few less arachnids. o/ Fark o/ Ai

Great Job guys. Fantastic nuke ratio!

Congrats NX and NpO. [quote name='BloodFury' timestamp='1353711646' post='3056618'] Interesting to see that NX allies with Polaris after their only MD partner canceled on them. [/quote] I must have missed that announcement? The Combine cancelled on NX?

I've been an alliance leader in several blocs over the years and all of them are unique in their own way. Alliances join blocs for different reasons and most of the time those reasons differ. So trying to categorize them usually makes you wrong on some account. PF was comprised of some of the finer alliances on Bob. Looking back, I can say that as a bloc they were successful. I believe the annals of history will recall them as such. Congrats on a great run PF. Condolences that it had to come to an end.

Clearly a very tough decision was made here. I don't envy that. Good Luck to both IRON and TOP.

[quote name='MCRABT' timestamp='1352906388' post='3052292'] Tronix you have some sick skills man! [/quote] Thank you.

Hey I like these guys. Nice job!

Now THAT is a sexy treaty. o/ Argent o/ Ai I look forward to smashing anything silly enough to try to smack Argent around.

Double post. Sorry.

[quote name='Emperor Marx' timestamp='1352574400' post='3050803'] So who is going to extend protection to this new "alliance" while saying "Hands of GOONS!" this time? Or is it possible that you know it's going to be a bad idea and that you will probably end up helping us raid him anyway? [/quote] 1) Not it. 2) Most likely.
