Good luck DAAN, I'm sure target practice will be fun.

It seems everyone's moving to Blue these days...congrats Quantum!

[quote name='Nova Blue' date='03 June 2010 - 03:13 PM' timestamp='1275592400' post='2322330'] Thanks for taking the time to reply so fast. On #2: I'll give you an example, say one of your Allies did something that was ethically questionable and it result in a War (Global or otherwise). Then say they called upon their Allies (both Optional and Mutual Treaties alike) for help. Would you enter the War knowing it's CB wasn't exactly kosher, or would you choose to not enact your Optional Clause (or in the case of a MD, end the Treaty)? On #4: Some AAs (many times young and new), sign a ton of Treaties and/or Protectorates without ever really considering the ramifications it will have presently or in the future (Treaty-Web wise). They end up having so many "Allies" that they don't know which way to turn if a War broke out...or worse, they're indirectly pulled into a War via a Treaty Chain. ...I await your responses (thanks again). --Mags [/quote] 2: If it was an optional treaty, I would think we would leave it up to our membership whether we would activate it or not. If its an MDP or MDoAP, then we're going in. As the quote in my sig says so nicely, we already agreed to go to war in defense of our MDP and MDoAP partners. 4: We take all treaties seriously. Before our FA dept. ever offers a treaty, it has to meet some level of approval, whether that be from our FAM, DFAM, SecGen, or our gov in general. It's then proposed to the alliance in question. Assuming they accept, the treaty is then put before our Atlantic Council, which is made up of the four Ministers of our departments (FA, IA, DoD, and Finance) and four Councilors elected by the membership (like myself). It most also be approved by the General Assembly, which any member can volunteer for, thus giving our membership a hand in every treaty. As you can see, a treaty has to go through a lot to get approved. We only sign treaties with friends, and only if we're willing to go through all that red tape for them [quote name='Cesar Julian' date='03 June 2010 - 03:23 PM' timestamp='1275592986' post='2322339'] Of all the programs and/or "offices" or NADC, which are you guys most proud of? Just to clarify, it can be an economic program for new recruits, a specific recruitment program, the FA office. Basically what is the thing NADC pride about themselves the most. [/quote] I personally am most proud of our "Atlantic Heritage Office", but I may a bit biased, considering I'm its Director. I'd say that, as an alliance, we pride ourselves most on our spam/community section. That's the biggest aspect of the NADC; we're a community. Much more than just an alliance, but a group of friends. [quote name='Jgoods45' date='03 June 2010 - 05:37 PM' timestamp='1275601005' post='2322492'] When did we piss in your cornflakes? Just curious to why you react negatively towards alliances we sign with. :3 [/quote] Oh that's just me Jgoods, not the NADC as a whole. I'm sure we have someone who likes you guys [quote name='lonewolfe2015' date='03 June 2010 - 05:39 PM' timestamp='1275601180' post='2322494'] Have you guys improved your ability to fight in a war since Karma? [/quote] While I didn't have the chance to fight in the Karma War, I do believe we did much better in this past war than we did in Karma. [quote name='Synesi' date='03 June 2010 - 05:50 PM' timestamp='1275601810' post='2322509'] It has been 2+ years since the day that Emperor Charles VI had to resign, looking back, how do you feel about him now? [/quote] That's a very good question, and it really depends on who you ask. Most people blame Charles for the NADC-BLEU War, and he certainly shared some of the blame. However, if we could go back and do it all over again, I think we would have fought harder to keep Charles in gov. As we've seen, the Cyberverse doesn't look kindly on banning certain individuals from gov and I don't think we would accept that kind of violation of our sovereignty if someone tried to pull that today. [quote name='aboooe' date='03 June 2010 - 06:07 PM' timestamp='1275602802' post='2322542'] Who is your favourite person in RDD? [/quote] Can't we just love you all?

Two of our good allies signing an ODP? Congrats guys!

[quote name='Nova Blue' date='03 June 2010 - 01:32 PM' timestamp='1275586303' post='2322252'] 1) How do you feel about Tech Raiding now? 2) Would you enact an OADP with an Ally if the reasons were unjust? 3) How do you feel about the other Color Sphere AAs, Green in particular? 4) Do you guys explore Treaties for the sake of Treaties, or is there a process put in to weigh all options for the present and future? 5) How do you treat recruiting? ...That's all I got for now. --Mags [/quote] 1. The NADC has never been one to tech raid. For a long time, our policy was that nations could enact 2 offensive wars/raids during their entire time in the NADC. That policy has been relaxed, for those who do enjoy tech raiding, but the majority of the NADC has always been and still is opposed to tech raiding. 2. What exactly do you mean by that? 3. We really don't have an opinion on the other color spheres other than blue. 4. Again, I'm a bit confused as to what your asking. Sorry 5. We actually stopped recruiting for awhile, but have just recently started again. Hope I was able at least some of your questions.

[quote name='Balder' date='03 June 2010 - 10:46 AM' timestamp='1275576378' post='2322080'] Looking to the past, the NADC was rather well known for its economic system. In the present, I've been told that NADC now focuses more on Foreign Affairs than Finance. In the future, what government agency do you believe will define you as an alliance? [/quote] Personally, I would hope the AHO, but that's not a whole department... (yet ) [quote name='Da Supe' date='03 June 2010 - 12:05 PM' timestamp='1275581117' post='2322173'] I'll have to find a new FAM again it seems [img]http://forum.cn-nadc.net/public/style_emoticons/default/023.gif[/img] [/quote] I'll take it!

Darn, just when I was starting to take notice of TIO too... Ah well.

Disbanding is never fun But on a happy note, now you guys are allied to us! Yay!

[quote name='SpacingOutMan' date='02 June 2010 - 01:55 PM' timestamp='1275501323' post='2320654'] Well, I suppose now CDT is nothing more than a three-legged dog without one of its front-runners. Good luck, and all that jazz to the bloc. And good luck Invicta, leaving a bloc is never fun (GUARD, Feroticas, etc. etc.), especially when you're still all good buddies. [/quote] If we're such good pales, why'd you DoW us? Seriously though, leaving/ending blocs sucks. Good luck to Invitca and CDT.

We wish TUF luck in all their future endeavors. It was simply time for us to part ways.

[quote name='Lord Boris' date='26 May 2010 - 11:26 PM' timestamp='1274930790' post='2313009'] Now THIS is how you take a stand. [/quote] [quote name='Blind Murder v2' date='26 May 2010 - 11:40 PM' timestamp='1274931600' post='2313035'] I applaud you for taking a stance. and I applaud you for being a true friend. [/quote] I agree. Good job CB! kulomascovia [quote name='Hereno' date='27 May 2010 - 12:30 AM' timestamp='1274934638' post='2313127'] I could never be against any alliance (or even individual) trying to stand up and show support for whatever they believe in by doing whatever they can to fight for the cause, be that throwing a single rock, a few aid packages, or a barrage of nuclear weapons. However, that said, the claims being made here are pretty pretentious. You're not some small alliance fighting a giant monster by giving all you can to work towards an ideal. Rather, you're more of an alliance who likes IRON, dislikes Gre, and sees a chance to get some easy PR by playing off of the popular anti-gre sentiment. There's nothing wrong with that; you can feel however you want and do whatever you want. I'm nobody to judge anybody else's actions. However, it is what it is... and it's not like IRON hasn't been constantly growing in strength the last 30 days, or anything like that. [/quote] Did you not understand this is about what's right, not about gaining good PR or "liking IRON" (Which has been refuted)?

Nice to see DAAN making some new friends.

[quote name='Proximus' date='24 May 2010 - 11:48 PM' timestamp='1274759276' post='2310950'] For shame, ODN. For shame. Picking on helpless alliances like these. You're better than that. [/quote] [quote name='D34th' date='25 May 2010 - 12:00 AM' timestamp='1274759989' post='2310962'] I have to say that I prefer the original, Sir Paul is better in this. But a good read anyway. [/quote] My thoughts exactly.

Good luck Corp. Though I must say, I liked your yellow flag better...I hope you don't change all your sig bars as well...

[quote name='GeoLauzier' date='22 May 2010 - 11:47 PM' timestamp='1274586443' post='2308751'] Wow, new alliances should get a protectorate before going out... This will end well. [/quote] They have a protectorate... I guess some people just can't be bothered to read a two page thread. Anyway, congrats to the NCO. Hope everything goes well. God bless.

It makes me happy that an ally of the NADC is getting close with our new allies over at the CCC. o/TSV o/CCC

[quote name='Kzoppistan' date='22 May 2010 - 12:29 AM' timestamp='1274502555' post='2307708'] o/ NADC [/quote] We you too Kzopp. [quote name='GearHead' date='22 May 2010 - 03:59 AM' timestamp='1274515170' post='2307844'] Guys, you are just amazing. What you've done and what you've stood for is something other alliances only dream of. From sticking by TPF in Karma war, even after suffering heavy losses, to founding the Peace and Love Train that is now flourishing today, people don't realize the influence you've had. It's an honor to have been your allies. I love you. [/quote] I have to echo what Gear said. You guys have always been an upstanding alliance. While I took my 3 month hiatus from the NADC when you guys began relations, I must say that you have been one of the most loyal and trustworthy allies an alliance could ask for. The only thing that helps is the fact that will still get to see you all in TFD. One last time. o/Zenith

Let me start out by saying, this is a very special treaty. The ACT treaty was originally thought up and created by the NADC's founder, Azure Mantle. It was created long ago, when ToA were becoming to look like glorified NAPs (keep in mind, this was during the time that there was a "ToA Web" just as there was an "MDP Web"). Not willing to stand by while the ToA became useless (As the NADC was the first alliance to ever sign a ToA), Azure set out to make a new treaty that would take the place of the ToA, one which would fufil the intentions that fueled the creation of the ToA. It gives me pride to say that the CCC was the first alliance we've had the pleasure to grow to know and begin reusing the ACT with. I believe that this friendship is the kind that Azure wanted an ACT to represent. CCC

[quote name='Burnsey' date='16 May 2010 - 06:29 AM' timestamp='1274005770' post='2299685'] Pretty sure they are lasting longer than Carthage. [/quote] Burnsey, didn't you already finish your time as WAPA Firm and then take over at 1TF? You've been through the rounds, you know that the WAPA of today is not the WAPA that many people (including myself) used to love. Cyan, Sel, Finner, michiganowns, Mindwerkz, Vanadrin Falling, all of them were great WAPA members; they are also all gone, most of them forced from WAPA for one reason or another, few left by choice. WAPA still exists, but it [u]is not[/u] the WAPA I once knew.

I never liked you in the IC sense, but I can wish a fellow CNer luck out in RL. So, good luck.

Congrats Bungalo, I'm sure you'll serve Corp well. Congrats to the rest of those who were elected as well.

Zenith, United Blue Directorate, TUF, OBR...I'm sure I could think of others

You guys had cello?!?
