[quote name='Leet Guy' date='07 May 2010 - 12:03 AM' timestamp='1273215780' post='2290061'] This sat on the back burner for [i]an entire year?[/i] [/quote]Well, it wasn't really on the back burner. We've been actively engaging in projects to help PA through their various growing pains. We just simply forgot to post it here. None of our alliance really frequents this place. Most of what's here isn't worth reading.

[size="2"]So, a little over a year ago, The House of Lords agreed to accept The Partopian Alliance as our protectorate. However, in the shuffle of paperwork, the nightly binge drinking, and related dignified activities involving women of a high-caliber and cigars generally reserved for Kings, I failed to post it publicly, to exist as a record for all to see. I apologize for all parties whom this may have confused, and hope this sets the record straight. This document was signed into law on April 15th, 2009.[/size][size="2"] [quote]Preamble [/size] The House of Lords and The Partopian Alliance, being friendly alliances with equal dedication to the interests of honor, respect, and democracy, do so wish to affirm such friendship in writing, and declare to all Cybernations their mutual friendship. Both alliances seek growth and prosperity, and to conduct themselves in a way garnering the respect and esteem of their peers. Let this accord of mutual defense and amity be an example to all Planet Bob of the relations which may exist between the truly noble. The Partopian Alliance, and The House of Lords hereby Establish this Protectorate Treaty in which The Partopians will enjoy the peace and prosperity afforded by full House protection. Upon Signing this Protectorate Treaty, The Partopian Alliance (PA) will become a Protectorate of The House of Lords (HoL). Article I - Respect The signatory Alliances and their Member States will treat each other with as much respect and decency as they would their own. Healthy debate and discussion, as well as constructive criticism, will not to be frowned upon in discourse, but all Member States and Representatives of the signatory Alliances will be expected to show politeness and respectful deference to Members and Representatives from the co-signatory, in particular, by respecting whatever chains of command or other logistical systems the partner alliance may have established, and by patiently abiding such institutions. Article II – Non-Aggression Both The PA and The HoL forbid any act of violence, aggression, or other form of attack on each other, either through sole action, or in conjunction with an outside party. All disputes between The HoL and PA, or any members therein, will be resolved in good faith and through diplomatic conversation. Article III - Aid, Advice and Support The HoL agrees to provide The PA with military and economic assistance if needed, including providing access to military and economic advisors, and the direct aid of technology, funds, and troops, if needed in an emergency. The PA agrees to honor this article in reverse, should the unlikely event arise that it is required. In all events, members of the two parties agree to a policy of aid and mutual support. Article IV – Non-Espionage and the Free Flow of Information Neither Alliance will engage in, condone, or encourage espionage against the other, either directly or through a third party. In the course of the close communication between both Alliances, Members of either Alliance will likely gain access to information considered sensitive and confidential. Such information will be treated as highly classified, and not disseminated by a signatory to third parties, except at the allowance of the co-signatory. Should a signatory Alliance receive any information pertaining to the co-signatory, the signatory agrees to notify the co-signatory immediately, within 24 hours, about the nature, content, and source of the information. Article V - Military Assistance The HoL agrees to defend The PA through direct military action and financial support in the event of any defensive war The PA is subjected to. The Members of HoL will defend PA Members in-good-standing as if they were Members of HoL. The PA agrees to aid The HoL in any defensive war, provided that the aid of the PA is required and requested – due to the lower strength of The PA, the Protectorate will not be held to the same rigorous expectation of assistance. No aggressive action by either signatory will result in the activation of Article V, but instead be taken as an optional casus belli by the co-signatory. In that way, either Alliance may choose to assist the other in an aggressive war, but will not be bound by this treaty to endorse or assist in said war. Article VI - Foreign Policy The PA will consult and seek the guidance of The HoL before making significant changes in foreign policy, such as signing new treaties or declaring war on a major third party. The PA will contact The HoL through typical diplomatic channels, to be mentored on the possible ramifications of certain actions. While The HoL neither maintains or declares a veto power, implicit or explicit, over The PA, The PA agrees to honor The HoL's reputation of general amiability and non-interference with the vast diversity of factions in Planet Bob. Remembering such, The PA will seek to conduct itself in an honorable manner, so as not to disparage the public perception of itself or The HoL. Article VII - Enforcing of the Treaty In the event that The PA should fall into infringement of this agreement, and cause reparable harm to itself, the HoL, or to a third party, The HoL will assume responsibility for The PA, and will ensure that The PA is held to the standards of accountability required by Cybernations tradition. In such circumstances, The HoL shall negotiate and facilitate diplomatic resolution and agreement on behalf of The PA, and shall be the final arbitrator of the specific articles in this treaty. As is required by such a gesture of trust, The HoL vows to never forsake the advice, petitioning, and counsel of PA Representatives and Members in procuring a decisions both fair and mutually beneficial. Article VIII - Supervision of Internal Affairs To ensure the free flow of information, and that no ill will exists between the mutual parties, each signatory agrees to allow at least one Supervisory Member of the co-signatory access to the signatory's alliance forum, with the full access rights of a regular member, except that such a Supervisor shall have no voting rights or legitimate capacity, except to serve as a liason and representative to their host Alliance. Article IX - Withdrawal Should either Alliance wish to end the above agreement, a notice must be given to the other signatory Alliance. After such notice is given, the Alliances shall maintain this agreement and the spirit thereof for a 48 hour grace period, after which it shall be dissolved and removed from the list of active treaties. Article X - Review Upon signing this treaty, both The HoL and The PA agree to review this treaty 3 months after its official adoption. This 90-day period shall be interpreted as a trial phase, at the end of which the two Alliances shall convene to discuss the extension, dissolution, or indefinite ratification of this agreement.

[quote name='memoryproblems' date='01 March 2010 - 09:35 PM' timestamp='1267508322' post='2210905'] All right, some NOIR alliances aren't bad, like DF and HoL, others I really don't personally care for, but either way, congrats on a year, takes a lot to get there, and it says alot to last that long.[/quote] We still have a friend in Echelon! ...err, I mean, o/NOIR!

Hey, uhm, Gents? Listen. We at The House of Lords have gone back to our OWF-ignoring (except for myself, that is), scotch-drinking, high-class wenching haze. Could you guys go back to ignoring us now? This conversation is done. Echelon has been, publicly and privately, informed of where we stand with them, and with the exception of my coming up with some kind of vegetarian version of sheep, some extra garlic, and some rosemary, there's nothing else to say here. I thank those of you whom support us. We really appreciate it. To those of you consider us cowards and !@#$%^&* for our reluctance in this war, I suggest to you this: come by our forums, or our channel, and get to know us. Maybe, just maybe, if you do, you'll find yourself one of two things. A few good folk, whom live life a little slower on Planet Bob, or just a place to go to get hoards of free high-class liquor & classy serving girls.

[quote name='Fronz' date='10 February 2010 - 10:08 PM' timestamp='1265868494' post='2174163']I bet your forced them to create a party planning commission too [/quote] They did, the monsters! Also, they're making us share our SCOTCH! These Dutchman have no soul.

[quote name='Ding Dong' date='10 February 2010 - 09:32 PM' timestamp='1265866348' post='2174039'] Well this is disappointing. I don't agree with your actions HoL. Was this your plan all along? Pretence of war to make yourselves look honourable, then quit asap? [/quote] The pretense of war wouldn't make us honorable. It would end in a hasty decision, such as the one you see in this white peace agreement. It was made in hopes of saving a few nations from the devestations of war. A noble goal, but no the correct action. For a more thorough answer, see your forums.

[quote name='EvilCam' date='10 February 2010 - 07:05 PM' timestamp='1265857548' post='2173769']I'd like to personally thank "The House of Lords" for honoring the minimum legal terms of our 'alliance'. [/quote] Perhaps you ought to look into your alliance's history a bit, and read about how they're known for doing to treaty allies. The wonderful people like this other fellow I've quoted are legendary for their upstanding actions. However, that is completely besides the point. I, and quite a few of my fellows didn't expend ourselves. I do not agree with this white peace we were granted, and while I doubt you have any idea as to why we're allies, given that this treaty, and it's basis predates your nation by a little over two years. If you'd like to know why this treaty ended, ask permission to see our Embassy. I explained myself in there. [quote name='El Hefe'][color="#1C2837"][size="2"]Don't even try to talk to me about honor. Echelon are about the last people I want to hear about honor from. I made a simple post about how long your (now former) allies gave their support for you - which was incredibly short, lets be honest - and you try to make it into something.[/quote] You are quite the bold mule to go mocking Echelon, when you fought so hard to throw us under a bus during The Karma War to save your sorry skin. Should I point out that you were a Congress member, and your signature is on One Vision? How does that say about your willingness to stand by your allies, Hefe? I really wouldn't call your former alliance-mates idiots, when you did such an eloquent job insuring they are what they are.[/size][/color]

Everytime I see an announcement from FAIL, I read it, hoping to find within a disbanding notice.

[quote name='erikz' date='08 February 2010 - 01:33 AM' timestamp='1265621601' post='2168524'] Welcome to the fight HoL! This will be great! [/quote]Thanks! I'm learning how to enjoy war. Your members are giving me (and The House) great experience!

[font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"]*A man rides gently in, lounging atop something that looks like the love child of a giant mechanical spider, and a chaise longue.* Ladies, and Gentlemen of the Press, March 24th will mark the 3rd anniversary of The House of Lords. That, however, is not why I'm here to speak with you today. I am Salvatore Arjunza, as you most likely don't know. We tend to keep to ourselves, with our technological marvels, our cigars, overstuffed chairs, and scotch. Lots and lots of scotch. However, while I'm sure I will soon be quite the lover of the drink, that is not why I am here today. Echelon, our allies whom have stood with us through thick and thin, no longer hold any faith in us. After all this time, we have never fought in their defense. I cannot blame them for their lack of faith. I... I am a stubborn man, and we... we are an honourable people. Echelon does not know our tanks and our men are coming to their aid. They have told us nothing, in regards to this war, and we have returned the favor. We have grown apart, after all these years, and so while we march now, our men and theirs, fighting as friends against an overwhelming foe, let them know, that this is the last time. They may consider our treaty cancelled, and we will go our seperate way. Our honor bids that we stand with them, and stand we will. The House of Lords has awoken, ladies and gentlemen. I can see our machines moving, marching slowly across the hillside. Echelon, we stand with you, in action faithful and honor clear. We will burn together, and bound by the blood of our nations. The House of Lords does not expect to win this war. We are not warriors. We are diplomats and peaceful folk. That doesn't mean we w ill stray from our duty. So, it is with a great sadness upon my heart, that I must do something that has never been done before, in the History of The House of Lords. Noble Soldiers of FOK, please prepare. We march for you.[/font] [font="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"] [/font][img]http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k28/Richard_Vorak/VorakSeal.png[/img] His Eminence The Most Respected [u]Lord Vorak[/u], [b]Lord President and Leader of the House of Lords[/b], [i]1st Grand Duke of the House of Lords[/i], Lord of Vorakia

/o FCC! May your communications beat their spoiled meat!

I think the title ought to call'em both wrong. Implying either side is right is wrong.

Mod Edit: (IRC lOG REMOVED DUE TO OFFENSIVE LANGUAGE) Well, I guess the good thing is that you don't blame your alliance for who they are, or the fallibility of their intelligence. Gentlemen, Comrade Goby, you are most definitely not. ModEdit: the IRC logs in this post have been removed.

I don't know about any of you, but these days, I've an easier time getting a 3/50 deal than 3/100. With that in mind, You're offering 18m to any nation that wars him? I'll tell you what. I'm happy to be your mercenary. Send me the funds now, and as soon as he's out of peace (and in my range), I'll attack him. This sounds like a bruised ego more than an angry alliance. On a completely unrelated note, M6, if you're actually going to build an alliance, come see The House of Lords. You seem like an amusing character.

I will definitely support you! There are no nations I enjoy sending my hardly earned funds to than partially literate, third-person speaking ghosts! Send me a message in-game, and I'll send you troops, funds, and everything you could possibly need to win this!

No they haven't, they simply now need a larger alliance to protect them. It'll be the newest fad: protectorate stacking.

I think cybernations is catchier, personally. I would say that the issue comes down to the alliance you join. Most of our membership stems from a forum (well, about half of it), and most of us have talked together for around 5-6 years now. We aren't really a known or even noticed alliance, but there's a tight bond of camaraderie between us. I don't understand big alliances, personally. I can't understand how they could exist on a massive scale, and still have close bonds. Then again, that's probably why our alliance remains small. At the end of the day, I'd say that the answer to your question is that nobody really wants to fight alone. If you can get help in your fight, why not do it?

Well that was interesting. At least you've a tub of ice cream, a romance movie, and your hand? Go get yourself some nice massage oil, and you'll get through this fine.

Looking for three tech sellers. 3m/100 tech. Preferably long-term sellers. Message me in-game, or respond here.

o/Echelon! Onwards we carry with our friendship.

o/ Echelon! It's always good to see old friends persevere.

Having read SoLely the first page, I am certifiably an expert on this topic. My conclusion? I believe that what should've been a quiet internal manner has been turned into war lulz because of an alliances' inability to install an intellectually and grammatically capable individual into the position. That's understandable, I suppose. I have met a fair number of alliances whom possess less-than-12 aged government members. The issue lies in the fact that you're acting upon this person's commentary! If you read words from someone, and they're barely legible why would you act upon them without even pausing to go "do I know the whole story?" Anyway, I've rambled enough, and am now cutting myself short. Deerslayer, I hope that this works out well for you. Redneck/Patriot/Soldiers of Liberty, I hope you have learned a thing or two about Foreign Affairs, and now treat your members and former members better. On an unrelated note, I think I may put "I hate SoL" in my nation bio. War me if you dare.

o/ Loud & LotU! Congratulations on the treaty!
