Pond Pirates have been our allies since the beginning of Cybernations:TE.
They are fighting a war on Ninjas (Their long standing enemy)
Regardless of "surrender" terms being to merge into them or not, they are our allies and friends. As are you. I see no full out friendship between Vox and Ninjas.
Edits: Also, you didn't even make an attempt at resolving this diplomatically. So much for "Voice" of the people.
