    This is not an OOC attack. Lord Hitchcock made his name on this forum, [Commenting this out in case mods want to snip Lyanna again for using OOC info] and then later changed it. Get f*ked.

     

    Also

     

    You made Luc kill a wonder, you hypocritical in-game donkey.

    I have to agree with Jerdge's comment from another post, the new aggressive approach you're taking isn't working.

     

    You used OOC information in an IC forum. You could have easily made the meme using "LH" instead of [OOC name] but you purposefully wanted to make it more personal.

     

    As far as Luc, CLAWS punished the leader of an alliance after they participated in attempting to set up a spy ring. On the other hand, three members of NG leadership are lining their own pockets by saving about $90,000,000 on tech EACH.

    3. Kashmir agrees to pay 1200 tech to each of Lyanna, Dane0, and Caustic.

    So just to quickly recap:

    1. NG supports bringing back more substantial, punitive war reps
    2. NG considered forced disbandment
    3. NG gov supports using OOC info in IC attacks

    to get around that pesky detail, a proxy war was sponsored by members of CLAWS/DBDC against us.

    It's good to know that when members of CLAWS travel, they'll always have a second home in your head. Never change 🥰

     

    As for OC, pray that you can keep up with Lyanna's tech program, they really seem to have mastered a system over in NG.

  4. Since the early days of CLAWS, we've relied on our bot, Lord Hershey, to provide us with help and guidance. With its namesake returning to CN, it was inevitable that we would ask...

    First, have a section where the alliances involved make it clear that they are two alliances. Also state that the two alliances will not fight each other. You can call it Article One and/or Peace and Sovereignty For instance,

     

    Quote

    Article I — Peace and Sovereignty

     

    CLAWS and Doom Squad recognize each other as two different alliances. Both shall abstain from any form of aggression against the other. Any mistakes or other issues between members shall be worked out between the parties.

     

    Second, figure out what type of defense treaty you want and then make that Article Two and/or Defense. For instance, if you decide to have an Optional Defense Treaty (ODP) write it something like this:

     

    Quote

    Article II — Defense

    CLAWS and Doom Squad agree that they may defend the other if either of them are attacked by a third party.

     

    The 'may' in the above line means that the parties can choose to defend each other, but are not required to do so by the treaty.
    
    
    
    Third, figure out if you want to also add an Article regarding Aggression - which means that the leadership of the two alliances agree to attack another alliance together. This is usually 'optional' and so for this example, it will also be optional. This will be Article Three.

     

    Quote

    Article III — Aggression

    Should either CLAWS or Doom Squad initiate hostilities or get involved with conflict that is already taking place, the other may assist but does not have to.

     

    Finally, end the treaty with a cancellation clause. These clauses are usually listed between 24 to 72 hours warning. For example,

     

    Quote

    Article IV
    If either CLAWS or Doom Squad decide to end this treaty, they may do so by providing private notice to the other and the treaty will end after 72 hours pass from that notice.

     

    At the end of the treaty, the government officials of each alliance add their signatures.

     

    Quote

    Signed for CLAWS,

     

    Co-Leaders: Jazzy95, Supreme Sultan of Scratchposts

    Al Bundy, Football Legend

     

    Grand Inquisitor: Randalla

     

    Ministers

     

    Minister of Internal Affairs: Tehol

    Minister of Foreign Affairs: Magical Muslim

    Minister At-Large: White Chocolate

     

    Signed for Doom Squad,

     

    Lord Hershey — The Anointed

    Hershicus — Inquisitor

    Firing Lane — The non-government unofficial official

     

    This is not required, however it is common at this point to do a "too long, didn't read" note at the end. In the above example it would be as follows:

    tl:dr ODoA between CLAWS & Doom Squad

    Looking at updating these. The following alliances are eligible to be added, provided they submit images (150x50 pngs):

    • CLAWS
    • Freehold of The Wolves
    • Knights Of The Round Table

     

    Thanks for this, CLAWS is submitting the following:

  6. On the All Nations Within My Strength Range page, it says the results are "Based on 75% - 133% Strength Formula," so with my nation strength of 174,800.937 it should start displaying results in descending order from 232,485.246 (NS*133%). Instead, I'm seeing nations up to 275,120.879, and since that nation and I are 250 rankings apart, I assume that's why I see them.

     

    I don't think it's a bug since the +/-250 is intentional, but maybe the "Based on" part just needs clarification?

  7. We'd like to introduce you to...

    The Scratch Pack

    Preamble
    In search of friendship, cooperation and some crazy good tunes, Club CLAWS welcomes Bands from around Planet Bob to recognize this Protectorate Pact and agree to abide by the terms therein.

     
    Article I - Protection and Non-Aggression
    Each Band will receive assistance, whether that be economic, political or military, and protection from raiders and/or alliance aggression. The bands agree to no infighting, and to respecting each other both in public and behind the curtains. In the event that Club Claws or one of the Bands are attacked by some punks, each Band may join CLAWS in cleaning up the alleys.

    Article II - Economic Cooperation
    The Club agrees to provide each Band with enough dough, dollars, and Benjamins to fill up their carrying cases for the purpose of establishing a capable economy. In addition, each Band agrees to come to Club Claws first for tech deals before looking at other venues.
     
    Article III - Intelligence
    Should any of the signatories gain information that is important to one another, this information shall be conveyed as soon as possible backstage. Furthermore, each Band shall consult with CLAWS should they want to commit any important external actions, such as picking a fight or signing treaties.

     

    Article IV - Dress Code

    Band members will stick to the dress code of Club Claws and only wear Pink and Black. CLAWS will work to fix trade circles for each Band member as if they were members of CLAWS. Each Band will also endorse and vote for CLAWS senators in elections.

     

    Article V - Withdrawal
    Should any of these cool cats wish to withdraw from The Scratch Pack, the other members shall be informed 48 hours in advance. During these 48 hours before exiting the premises, all Articles and Terms of this Pact shall remain in effect. Should any of the Bands gravely violate this Pact, Club Claws reserves the right to boot them out immediately.

    You didn't expect TIE to accept the terms, you didn't actually want to grant them peace. You were just messing with them and as they actually accepted them with independent arbitrators overseeing it? You couldn't abruptly move the goal posts to accomodate your salty blue-balls currently on display for everyone here.

     

    I don't usually get involved on the fifth page of an OWF car crash, but, boy howdy, did you twist what Claude was saying.

     

    For those complaining about the terms Lucius accepted, I fail to see why. He made the terms acceptable when he... accepted the terms. If other alliance leaders find those terms unacceptable when presented with them, they'll be free to negotiate or continue fighting in hopes of a different offer. Lucius did neither because, and this is the important part, he found them acceptable.

    If this intelligence was known for some time, why is it only now being acted on? The logs show that these discussions go back a few months after-all.

    If your intent is not to draw out allies of the Entente and you have nothing against them at large, why do you come forward with this now?

    I received evidence a week ago, September 19. As my log to you suggests, we started planning shortly thereafter. We came forward publicly when we felt our own alliance was ready. Just because we disapprove of an action doesn't mean we need to respond at that moment. We even changed the time of day because a one of our guys wanted to go to his daughter's basketball game. 😁

    Whatever the case; you made no effort to reach out to Lucius and address the matter.

    As stated by Tevron, Lucius made a decision as alliance leader. When a member of an alliance goes rogue, the next step an offended alliance should take is contacting that nation's alliance to see if it was a unintentional. When the leader of the alliance does it, that step is unnecessary.

    Lucius is not the person who intended to create the network

    33 minutes ago, Johnny Apocalypse said:

    It is only because he is a nine-sided turncoat, who was encouraged to turn against his former ally that the Entente now bears the consequences of these discussions,

    The Entente bears the consequences of their own leader's actions. Based on the logs I can see, Lucius was the one that wanted to "Rebuild an intel network" because, as he said twice, he "need[s] intel." Even if I assume there are earlier logs where TDE approached Lucius, he had the ability, as you did, to politely decline.

     

    28 minutes ago, Johnny Apocalypse said:

    I do not blame Lucius for desiring more information so that he has the tools necessary to ensure the protection of the Entente.

    Please spare me. I'm happy to continuously see the better in y'all when mistakes happen, but don't try to flip this into a protection defense. I can't think of an alliance I care less about than TIE, maybe Argent (Are those guys even relevant?). If Lucius felt he needed to do something to CLAWS to protect his alliance, he should've attempted diplomacy and not espionage.

     

    Regarding your other allegations against TDE and the rest of the "cabal of people looking to undermine us," I look forward to reading about it in the next installment of The Day Today. Until then, we'll continue shredding all outdated formal clothing attire.

    CLAWS Issues "War From Home" Order

     

    (September, 25 2020) – CLAWS has been notified of an espionage attempt made by Lucius Optimus, Emperor of The Imperial Entente (TIE). Effective immediately, CLAWS announces a new "War From Home" policy in recognition of said event.

     

    To commemorate the occasion, CLAWS will giving away free nuclear detonations to all nations under the TIE alliance affiliation (AA). Additionally, CLAWS is providing ALL NATIONS, regardless of AA, a free tie to remember this day.

    why are so many of your allies recently active here, signing treaty after treaty and announcing their their own sense of relevance with anniversary threads?

     

    1 hour ago, Johnny Apocalypse said:

    Another measure of your success seems to be how many more strands you can add to the treaty web. 

     

    Excuse you both, Stewie worked really hard on his three treaties announced in the last month or so. 

     

    And outside of anniversary threads, when else am I supposed to give the Golden Girls claws?

    I know anniversary posts are rare these days as memory loss sets into our aging nations. We even forgot to say something last year. However,

    CLAWS turns two today!

    It feels like just yesterday discussions began to bring together close groups of friends.

    Alright, so we didn't all know each other, but a certain football legend got into our heads and we realized our combined strengths were far better than our individual weaknesses. A month later, we declared our existence. We received warm welcomes from all.

    Alright, so maybe not everyone was excited to see us and our boogey all the way up to the 3rd place spot. However, we found some great allies along the way. In fact, our treaties received great fanfare.

    Screen_Shot_2020-07-13_at_7.55.46_AM.png

    Alright, so maybe there were some critics.

    Screen_Shot_2020-07-13_at_6.54.06_PM.png

     

    But seriously, we were told again and again that the cards were stacked against us. Mergers between two alliances don't last, never mind five. "Fusion is just a cheap trick to make weak alliances stronger!" was what I think we were told.

     

    Yet here we are, two years later and we're extremely happy with the progress we've made. Our aid slot usage is among the highest in both total slots used and percentage in use.

     

    Screen_Shot_2020-07-13_at_7.08.23_PM.png

     

    Between us and our allies, we keep our Senate chambers active with the most votes for each color.

    We fought alongside allies when called upon and always helped in the rebuild. Today, we're tied to a strong collection of alliances we know we'll be able to call on when the time comes.

     

    unknown.png

     

     

    We've barely scratched the surface of what we can do until the nuclear apocalypse. Until then, we'll keep our CLAWS polished.
