The Compound

Just cause you guys are cool, good luck.

I have been a leader of an alliance, a follower, and a rebel. I have been going through the bureaucracy for 4 years, listening to planet bob's society of how things are done, how we are to war, how things are run. Who is to tell us what we can do? I for one have had enough of these restrictions. It is for this reason that I have resigned from my alliance. It is for this reason that I now destroy my nation by targeting those who have helped set this ideal society. I will continue my path until every last bit of me is gone. I only hope that you will all learn something from this. The structure of your alliances, the rules of combat, they take away the thrill of war that every new entity wishes to experience. The reason so many leaders leave their nations to ruins is simple, they feel they are not free anymore. Free to war, free to experience the thrill. Sure this society provides protection, with the hint of war a couple times every year. But is this really freedom? I leave this last thought for you all. Good bye, and may your minds be unclouded.

o/ wF We got this.

o/ World Federation! May our nukes glow for generations to come!! Good job MCXA, it was a pleasure competing with you.

Woot! We got this!

Here is the official treaty. [quote]Preamble The World Federation and Disciples of Abaddon: * Aiming at the achievement of a just, lasting and comprehensive peace; * Aspiring to develop friendly relations and co-operation between them; * Seeking a pathway that will lead to full and frank communication between them; * Desiring to ensure lasting security for both alliances and in particular to avoid espionage and the threat or use of force between them; * Deciding to establish peace between them in accordance with these Protocols for Espionage and Armed Conflict Eradication; Have agreed as follows: Article I – ESTABLISHMENT OF PEACE Peace is hereby established between the World Federation and Disciples of Abaddon (the "signatory alliances") effective from the exchange of the instruments of ratification of these protocols. Article II – SOVEREIGNITY Both of the signatory alliances and their respective member nations recognize and will respect each other's sovereignty and political independence. They recognize and will respect each other's right to live in peace within their respective alliances. They will develop good neighborly relations of co-operation between them to ensure lasting security. They will refrain from espionage and the threat or use of force against each other and will settle all disputes between them by peaceful means. Article III – COMMUNICATION In signing these protocols, both signatory alliances recognize that full and frank communication is the foundation for a strong and enduring relationship and that there is mutual benefit for both alliances when open communication between them is maintained. To that end, both signatory alliances agree to productive two-way inter-alliance communication: IIIa. The signatory alliances agree that whenever a situation arises which involves provisions within these protocols or other issues of mutual concern; there shall be full and frank communication between the signatory alliances. IIIb. The signatory alliances shall encourage and promote effective methods of dispute resolution between the signatory alliances and their respective member nations. IIIc. The signatory alliances commit to frequent and recurring dialog on each others forums and IRC channels. This commitment is based on the view that open access to each others communication channels is essential to the rapid and efficient inter-alliance communication. This shall include communication at the alliance leadership level where on an as needed basis, representatives of the highest decision making bodies of the signatory alliances will jointly meet to discuss issues of mutual concern. This shall be in addition to routine diplomatic communications and the regular communication between normal member nations. Article IV – OVERT HOSTILE ACTIVITIES Neither signatory alliance will knowingly engage in the use of sanctions against member nations of the other signatory alliance without formal, written permission from the other signatory alliance. Neither signatory alliance shall endorse, fund, approve or engage in military action against the other signatory alliance.

Though not required, defending nations shall be encouraged to defer reprisal actions until a diplomatic solution can be reached. IVa. Should the offending member nation of a signatory alliance refuse to offer peace and agree on reparations terms, said member nation will be declared a rogue and will no longer be offered the protection of either signatory alliance. IVb. If a signatory alliance violates this article, such activity shall be considered an act of war. Article V – COVERT HOSTILE ACTIVITIES Neither signatory alliance shall knowingly endorse, fund, approve or engage in espionage or other covert action against the other signatory alliance.

Va. Should a member nation of a signatory alliance violate this article, said member nation will be declared a rogue and will no longer be offered the protection of either signatory alliance. Vb. If a signatory Alliance violates this article, such activity shall be considered an act of war. Article VI – RECIPROCAL DEFENSE Protectorate: Should Disciples of Abaddon come under attack by a foreign power, the World Federation, at the request of Disciples of Abaddon, shall immediately provide military assistance as well as, but not limited to, financial, political and such other assets it has at its disposal.

Article VIII – CIVILITY Both signatory alliances shall be resolute in their insistence that their respective members remain polite and civil to each other at all times, especially in public forums and other public venues. Article IX - EVALUATION & EXPIRATION 6 months following the announcement of these accords, these terms shall automatically expire, standing null and void from that day forward. The signatory alliances may decide to upgrade, downgrade, retain, or cancel the treaty entirely before or after said expiration is reached.

The amended terms to this treaty are effective following a 48-hour amendment activation timeframe.

[quote name='Lennox' date='27 April 2010 - 12:46 AM' timestamp='1272325552' post='2276603'] This sums up my feelings on this issue. edit: my picture got deleted [/quote] Aw... I bet it was a very nice picture!

[quote name='Jonathan Brookbank' date='26 April 2010 - 10:59 PM' timestamp='1272319175' post='2276446'] Since you folks can't seem to read an entire document, I've made that portion bigger and bolder for you. Recruiting from an alliance is an act of war, which very clearly qualifies as an aggressive action. Also, tendo did not quit his government job, he was fired for being inactive and incapable of doing it. [/quote] [quote]The Emerald Doctrine Article One The Grand Global Alliance recognizes the right of any and all alliances to locate themselves within the Green sphere. Article Two The Grand Global Alliance declares a unilateral state of non-aggression with all current and future Green alliances. Article Three Article Two is voided by an alliance if it commits [b]aggressive[/b] actions towards the Grand Global Alliance or an ally of the Grand Global Alliance. [/quote] Since you obviously have mistaken some grammar, I made it bold for you. Aggression is an act of war, but an act of war is not aggression. Just thought I would point that out for you. So if i was poaching, would I be considered "aggressive" towards your alliance? no, but it would still constitute for an act of war.

[quote name='Gerald Meane' date='26 April 2010 - 10:30 PM' timestamp='1272317398' post='2276401'] Can you show me where they have signed onto that then? [/quote] [quote] The Emerald Doctrine Article One The Grand Global Alliance recognizes the right of any and all alliances to locate themselves within the Green sphere. [b]Article Two The Grand Global Alliance declares a unilateral state of non-aggression with all current and [u]future[/u] Green alliances.[/b] Article Three Article Two is voided by an alliance if it commits aggressive actions towards the Grand Global Alliance or an ally of the Grand Global Alliance.[/quote] That is one of their treaties, which the alliance condones. By becoming a member of GGA, the member then must ablidge by the treaties that the alliance has made. If not, then the member could disregard those and attack, lets say, GPA, or some other green alliance. I'm just stating that the membership had to agree to not attack any green sphere alliance, whether they knew it or not.

[quote name='Enrage' date='26 April 2010 - 03:01 AM' timestamp='1272247242' post='2275249'] By having the sovereign of your alliance telling another green team gov to "suck a ****" [/quote] ++ to that comment.

[quote name='Omniscient1' date='26 April 2010 - 03:15 AM' timestamp='1272248136' post='2275277'] so were you doing it to try and trap GGA? or did you just say you weren't protecting them even though you didn't know? no wait it was for the "lulz" right? [/quote] Actually, you are correct in the assumption it was for the "lulz". I get bored from time to time, and so do interesting things. Nothing more, nothing less. You can try to find some deeper meaning behind what i did. Maybe I did it to boost my self-esteem? Maybe i did it to get jb off my back cause he was annoyingly querying me? Or maybe its part of some huge scheme to take over planet bob. You just never know... Use your imaginations!

[quote name='Jonathan Brookbank' date='26 April 2010 - 03:06 AM' timestamp='1272247542' post='2275257'] I refer you to my previous statement where I disproved what you just said, only I used facts, rather than outright lies. You may find it [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=84700&view=findpost&p=2275017"]here.[/url] [/quote] Lol, i like how you use those logs to back your point. I am not gov, i do not represent the actions of the government, what i say does not matter. get over it. Go back to your corner and mope around.
