Congratulations and much love to our fellow brownies

You could do worse then ICB, but then you could join Silence and do better <3 Burn <3

I swear when we decided on it we didn't choose it for the large range of puns it opens up :/

You can say what you like about wicked, but he gets there in the end /me loves his CSN

Section I - Sovereignty The governments and constituent members of the signatory alliances remain sovereign from each other. Section II - Peace The below signed agree not to authorize or condone attacks by a member of one signatory on another. If a nation is found to be in violation of this they will be ordered to offer peace and pay reparations. Should the offending nation refuse either peace or reparations they are declared a rogue and be subject to whatever measures deemed necessary by both parties. Section III - Civility Members of ICB and Silence agree to remain civil to each other, especially in public forums. Section IV – Information Part A: Neither alliance will conduct or condone espionage against the other. Part B: If a signatory obtains information regarding a direct threat to the other signatory or their interests, they will immediately notify the government of the other alliance, providing the relevant information. The source may be disclosed at the original recipient’s discretion. Section V – Optional Defence Should a signatory alliance find itself in a defensive war, the other signatory is encouraged to provide military/financial/diplomatic aid where possible. Such aid, while desirable, is not mandatory.

What, no personalised shout out Mech ?! The 57th aren't an easy bunch to get on with, when I first wandered onto IRC to talk with them in the run-up to Nexus becoming involved with Karma I thought that they a touch arrogant with a quick fuse to boot. But when it got down to it, they got the actual job of blowing stuff up with the minimum of hassle. Post Karma I got to know Mech, Ven and a couple of other Overlanders better, and found a rare group of people who take no crap off anyone and are fanatically loyal to their allies. So here's to Mech and to Ven, both equally insane as one another Silence wishes both of you luck in the next 365 days. To cut this short: The 57th Overlanders, an acquired taste. And I wouldn't take them any other way edit: Spelling

We did try to bully him into gov. but he was too canny to fall for it

Thank you for stating that explicitly, I shall now exit stage left.

Yes it is a fine pile of. As for instigating things, I would say that the creation of this topic in the first place was instigation. Also you should not be unduly surprised to see the allies of the 57th appear in a thread where one of their member is threatened. Now as for who was most to blame, Panda may have been worse (I haven't read the second log) but youwish started this whole pointless affair so let's call it honours even so we can put an end to this absurd story and let this thread die.

I fail to see anything in that SS which merits the implied threat in the OP. Although I must say that was hardly a monumental battle of wits, as there was a distinct lack of originality in the trolling which gave Panda very little to work with

Ultimately it is down to the discretion of our Trium/MoFA, based on a case-by-case basis and individual circumstances. Although I think that people will get the general point that we are trying to make with this announcement, and if they don't care enough to take the hint then they are not the most adept diplomatically.

About damn time gents Hails all round o/

It's their AA, they can put whatever they like in there as long as it doesn't contravene a game rule. And for what my opinion is worth I would say that he spelt it correctly, damn that French influence on American spelling eh? Also I'm sure random capitals in the middle of words aren't allowed As for GDI congrats on a small yet significant milestone

If the RDD guys I fought in the last war are anything to go by then you've chosen well TGH

I must admit that this is the first Tabloid Tribune (that was public) that I have enjoyed, the whole PC thing at the start was neither here nor there. However the remainder was a good read, NPO may very well know what that term meant in spirit but well picked up on the fact that it was not explicit in the wording. Although I do find the implied reference of 'collecting' on reparations payments at a later date a tad concerning. Nevertheless a well written piece

I do not care for the past of Nexus, because I was not around for it. I do care for the present and the future of this bloc. I stand here and look at our allies and I am content, I would bleed for them, and them for me. We are brothers in arms, sure we may be small, but I could not wish for a finer company people to stand with. We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother. Leave the past buried gentlemen, lest it cloud your judgement of the present.

We love you too mark

I want you to catch us Mech o/ 57th

I'd like to second what my good friend Mech said B) Hi Jerry and Sulli
