    FOK you, Brown!

    The 'FOK you, Brown' Accords

    Dear Brown,

    We had some good times, didn't we? You can't deny that we had fun. But unfortunately all good things eventually come to an end and our relationship is no exception.

    It's not like we didn't try to make it work. We even got engaged twice through the UPS accords, but both were doomed to failure for various reasons.

    I think that this is, in part, due to our knowing FOK. You didn't like FOK initially and maybe were even slightly jealous of our relationship with her. You tried to make us fight her in the war and we did for a while but no matter what we did, she kept saying she fancied us. And we have to admit, we came to develop a bit of a crush on her too.

    We went on a few dates, -AiD- and FOK, and we sampled the very best cafes that Amsterdam had to offer with her as our guide. We frolicked, Brown. Our heart started beating in a way we never really thought possible.

    We decided we wanted to date each other and formalised this in a treaty and I think that's where things began to turn for the worse. You never really forgave us for our infidelity, did you Brown? I mean, on paper we agreed to try again and drafted the UPS 2.0 agreement but if we're totally honest with each other, it was never really the same as it used to be. Your trust had been broken once and perhaps we're guilty of just not doing enough to win it back. Regardless, it is time to move on for us.

    Dearest Brown, we've decided we're going to leave you and move in with FOK in their Orange home. It's a risk on our part, sure and I must say it wasn't an easy decision to make, but sometimes risk is the only way to achieve our full potential. Who knows, maybe the distance will help us get closer to one another. But for now, this is something we need to do for ourselves. If you truly loved us before like you said you did, you'll understand and support us in this.

    We're going to miss you, Brown, we truly will. But things just aren't the same and I think we argue more the longer we're under the same roof and, frankly, we just can't see things improving if something doesn't change. We wish you all the best in the future.

    With all our love,

    The Alliance of International Defence

    tl;dr: It's not you, Brown, it's us. We just feel we work better as just friends, you know?

    Note: This statement may or may not reflect how -AiD- feels about the entire Brown sphere. The Alliance of International Defence still holds a lot of friendships on an alliance-wide and personal level with various Brown alliances and members, so whilst humour can be a beautiful thing we do not wish for it to have a negative effect on our remaining relationships.

    Seriously, though, guys. Can we sorta get over this whole AiD BQP thing? I know that most of AiD has, and I think BQP have as well. I mean, you can feel however you want towards NTO, but the fact is that NTO aiding BQP ISN'T equal to them harming AiD in any way. Now, if they were plotting to kick us out of UPS, that's another issue. But it doesn't really matter at this point, does it?

    Comments vs. gonz aren't flame wars. They are comments that are owed. I mean; my lord. If we were nice to Gonz, he might want to stay. And that could only be bad.

    Um... now why would i want to repeat what just got gough banned and what offended me enough to report him for saying it... cmon now.

    Amen, brother.

    Too bad this thread had to degrade into this. Although a thread criticizing GOONS is always going to be degraded by those who are not really members of GOONs.
