Warbuck made alot of tough calls, and ADI is better for it. He may be scorned by some, but he is loved by his members, and respected by his friends and allies, remember that John, in the end, that's all that matters. You did a good job by ADI. Enjoy retirement bud, you deserve it.
To Lord Tri, I know you will do great things for ADI my old friend.

Good to see ya, old friend! Thanks for the kind words. -

First, I don't see how you could possibly know what RoK does or does not believe about this situation.[/quote]
As of right now, my reception from members of RoK has been fairly warm. Grant, while there has been some significant negativity in this thread, it is to be expected. While we may disagree on the reasoning, the negativity is understandable. John Warbuck was disliked by people, this is a fact. It is only natural that snide and derogatory remarks will come forth. I am not saying I agree with them, I am not saying they are necessary, but I am saying that I understand where they are coming from.

Though I doubt you will see it that way, I sincerely hope you see this as chance to make positive changes and rebuild lost relationships. We at RoK are more than willing to try and move forward now that this change has taken place. Best of luck to you.
[/quote]
I can assure you that we do see it that way, and are looking to rebuild lost relationships. It is good to hear that RoK has decided to move on from our previous issues. While I am sure a formal relationship will never come again between our two alliances, I do hope that cordiality and a mutual respect for one another will allow itself to come of this.

[color="#00FFFF"][size="5"]A Message from the Lord High Sentinel[/size][/color][/center]
[b]To the nations of Planet Bob:[/b]
First and foremost, an introduction. For those of you who don't know me, I am Lord Tri, newly appointed Lord High Sentinel for the Aqua Defense Initiative. I would like to express the great honor that has been bestowed upon me. It with the utmost pleasure that I accept the opportunity to lead such a fine and loyal group of nations.
As I understand that some may not really know me, I'll let you know how I roll. I am a man who uses few words, but packs a whole lot of meaning into them. Getting that out of the way, I openly acknowledge previous wrongdoings and miscommunications that have scarred the image of the Aqua Defense Initiative. It is my intention to move past previous grievances and to express to the world what and who we really are. As such, I welcome all alliances and independent nations alike that may have any questions or concerns to come speak with me in the many various forms of communication we are blessed with.
My final order of business is directed towards John Warbuck. Warbuck, the service and dedication you have given to this alliance is something many could only desire. You have brought the Aqua Defense Initiative from a fledgling alliance to an alliance every one of its members can be proud of. Acknowledging your exceptional service to the Aqua Defense Initiative, and by the power vested in me as Lord High Sentinel, I hereby bestow upon you the title of "Lord High Sentinel Emeritus". May your service never be forgotten.
Signed,
[i]Lord Tri of Tribathia[/i]
[b]Aqua Defense Initiative[/b]
Lord High Sentinel
EDIT: Spelling. -
[quote name='Lamuella' date='20 February 2010 - 05:29 AM' timestamp='1266643767' post='2193018']
I salute ADI, LSF, LSN and NATO for their valiant efforts in this war. You were good opponents.
[/quote]
And the same to you, Lamuella. I got to know a couple of the guys I was at war with, good people. It was an honor fighting you guys. To our allies, it was an honor fighting alongside of you, and while we may not have achieved victory officially, the honor of fighting alongside a friend is always a victory in my heart. Good luck to all involved, good luck rebuilding, and enjoy peace. -
I believe this thread has served its purpose. Simple fact of the matter is this: people on Planet Bob believe what they want to believe.
[b]To the Aqua Defense Initiative: I request that all members of every rank, cease all posting in this announcement.[/b] This is not an order, this is a request. Lonewolfe, RoK, and anyone else who has anti-ADI sentiments are incapable of admitting they are incorrect in this argument, no matter how many facts we throw at them. They are incapable of looking at the situation impartially. I have looked at the situation impartially, as my first loyalty is to my morals. I have looked at this whole scenario from every possible unbiased angle, and even called my superior to task in front of our entire alliance, only to find, that he is in the right here. He has admitted that the situation could have been handled better, and ADI has learned from this entire situation. We are not ignorant to the fact that ADI has made mistakes, we acknowledge them openly. As for the many accusations RoK has been making...well they simply do not add up. If anyone wishes to challenge me on this, then by all means, muster up to capability to look at this situation impartially, spend weeks trying to scope out every angle and viewpoint, and then let me ask you: Does VanHoo have a valid casus belli? Or is he just upset that a small alliance decided to stand against him and hurt his enormous ego?
Warbuck is right, you do have selective hearing. So if you want to even seem marginally intelligent, then do what I did, and I'll debate it with you then. Until then, your ignorance is making me sick. As for RoK, it'll be an honor fighting you on the battlefield. But do not underestimate us, we are not one's to give up easily. -

Masheen, there is a thing about your alliance that defines who you are in this world. They shape your political opinion, your ability to play the game, your sphere of influence and what you do with your stay on Bob.
[b]ADI has taught you to hate great people who've I have had the pleasure of knowing for almost my entire existence here, not everyone is perfect and often we find someone makes a mistake but Rok has never abandoned a friend in need, never that I have ever seen myself. They've stuck up for me before, which is why everything you've said about them is a fallacy.[/b]
ADI destroyed their friendship with Rok for FEAR because Warbuck failed to do his own research on the war, failed to deliver on his promise of support (you can't go back on your word, which is what he did, whether he liked it or not, he failed to own up to his word) and he has yet to deliver any sort of reasonable explanation or answer for his actions.
Perhaps you should get an unbiased opinion on this matter. Because if anything, this whole "blaming people" mess you told people to stop doing, began with the actions of Warbuck blaming Hoo saying it was a poor reason for war. Whether he agreed or not is not the problem, the problem is he pledged support that he then canceled publicly without discussing it well with his ally and proceeded to bash them publicly. Something not acceptable under any circumstances, and is certainly liable to have your treaty canceled and it being your fault.
[b]I find that the ADI brainwashing program must be going well if you've come here to tell us how wrong we are and how right your glorious leader is.[/b] If he had any sort of decency in him he'd be willing to answer my call for him to own up to his mistakes like a mature and responsible leader. I have yet to anything of the sort from him, and that Ladies and Gentlemen is the sign of a coward unable to speak of his own failure but rather twist it into a false victory.
[/quote]
All right big guy, my turn. ADI's brainwashing program? Funny, cause I have a story about it. It doesn't exist. Want to know why? I spent four hours last night running around to as many alliances as possible, I even called out Warbuck in front of our whole alliance on matters that were unclear, all in the effort of finding the truth. I spent four hours trying my very hardest to see if your side of the story is true, for a moment or two I was convinced. I spent four hours finding information and trying to prove that Warbuck is lying, want to know what happened? I couldn't. His story adds up, 100%. Am I brainwashed? Doesn't really seem like it, cause one who is brainwashed doesn't typically attempt to call out the brainwasher. So do us all a favor, and just stop.
ADI has taught us to hate great people? None of us hate anyone. In fact, we'd prefer to be friends with RoK, or at least on amiable terms. We'd also prefer for the issue to be dropped entirely. But is it dropped? No, want to know why? It might have something to do with RoK bringing it up in every thread we make or post in. So, we're sorry for defending ourselves and giving off the image that we hate them, but this alliance is instructed by me personally to exercise the utmost of respect and friendliness to both our friends and enemies. So, now that you have proved that you have no idea what you are talking about, get out of my sight. -

Continue what? Defending his alliance from what is turning into the biggest soap opera in Planet Bob's history? -
[quote name='mgregory' date='18 February 2010 - 01:54 AM' timestamp='1266458065' post='2188565']
I see Warbuck found a new lap dog. Be careful Lord Tri.
[/quote]
First and foremost mgregory, I am NO ONE's lapdog. Nor will I ever be. I may be ADI's Lord of Foreign Affairs, but I was not placed in my position as a result of brown-nosing or sucking up to Warbuck. In fact, I was placed in my position for the exact opposite, because I am so different from Warbuck. On every issue brought up, every treaty, every war, Warbuck and I have almost always had differing opinions. It's our differing opinions that allow us to work together so efficiently. We are capable of debating, and seeing every situation from every angle. I will take zero hesitation in calling out my superiors if I believe there is a better way, those in TDO and ADI can attest to that. Here's an idea, look up the difference between agreeing with someone, and being their lapdog. I support John Warbuck in this situation, and I support ADI even over him. Before you call me out on something, when you obviously have no idea who I am, I'd recommend you speak to me in private first.
And Hoo, your threats mean little any more. Once upon a time, I listened to them, once upon a time I feared for them. I came to you in an effort to figure out a solution without running an alliance into the ground over a personal vendetta. You did not listen, you did not care, and as such, I no longer care for your threats. Run us to the ground, I can guarantee you that our strength as brothers and sisters in the Aqua Defense Initiative will vastly outlast your armies. -
[quote name='John Warbuck' date='18 February 2010 - 01:24 AM' timestamp='1266456263' post='2188498']
You know what I find so ironic about you, Hoo? You impose your own qualities on the people you try to slander. The deceit, the misinformation of allies, the asking people to betray their principles and allies and then getting infuriated when they tell you to take a hike. And then you spend two months repeating your own lies over and over again until even you believe them.
I spoke to you before that post, btw- and you told me it was my duty to "defend" you. I saw it was aggression and didn't agree with you. Had I told you privately, you'd have canceled on us too, but posted some bogus post filled with lies as the reason. Just wait until another one of your protectorates has a mind of it's own that happens to disagree with the all high and mighty Hoo. The same thing will happen.
You try to say that you would NEVER say that you want people out of the game, but you will badger, threaten, and harass a sovereign alliance and go to that alliance's protectorate and tell them to cancel their agreement with us. You will have your "Propaganda Ministry" make our members' lives a living hell for over two months, and then you want to tell us that your DoW is on us, and that we are the ones threatening aqua sphere peace. Do you even read what you write, Hoo? Do you even catch a single glimpse of the insanity in your posts?
But when it comes down to this DoW that you promise we will receive, make sure that you do it for the true reasons. ADI has a mind of our own. We wouldn't attack an ally. We showed the world your true colors. THAT is why you are attacking us. Not logs, not neutrality, not right vs wrong. That is why you've badgered me relentlessly for two months. And honestly, if it comes to war, so be it. I won't make it easy for you.

We did't cancel on you due to your faked logs either, but it [b]is[/b] the reason that you will be attacked.

Oh that's a rich casus belli, using something that can't be proved either way. Aside from "your word". -

What are you talking about? They said you could have remained neutral.
[/quote]
Thats what we did?....It's not like we pulled support from RoK and immediately were like "Howdy FEAR! Need help?" -
EDIT: Warbuck basically said the same thing.

[quote name='lonewolfe2015' date='17 February 2010 - 11:25 PM' timestamp='1266449159' post='2188252']
Wait, am I missing something here? I thought Warbuck lead and made the decisions of ADI and all the guilt fell onto him for the decisions he made... but since you're here all that changes?[/quote]
No, you misread my post, I wasn't a member at the time. And I'm sorry, but your whole "They were so nice to you so you gotta do what they say" argument is boring. Did they protect us? Yes. Do we appreciate it? To this very day. But could we allow ourselves, being a fully sovereign alliance under no protectorate, to sit and have our "allies" give us false information and omit details of a coming conflict that we would deem kind of important? And then support said allies? I'm sorry but the answer is most definitely no. Perhaps the manner in which it was done was a little tactless, but whats done is done. If RoK wants to come at us, by all means go ahead. But just understand, that whole "consequences" thing, applies to you guys as well. -
[quote name='Sweeeeet Ronny D' date='17 February 2010 - 08:45 PM' timestamp='1266439500' post='2187922']
Hoo, and fellow Rokkers why even bother responding to Warbuck and ADI? Its not worth it, it doesn't accomplish anything,(besides some semi-entertaining reading) and ADI and Rok will never agree with what happened. The only response to ADI we should have in these forums for the next few months is either a Declaration of War or silence.
My 2 cents

Um...we are responding to RoK...
Just my two cents.

[quote name='Da DreadLord' date='17 February 2010 - 08:12 PM' timestamp='1266437522' post='2187861']
well there are 2..
- declare neutrality
- looking at the TDO situation..make the member causing problems to step down from his position
[/quote]
I'm failing to see the problem here. ADI declares support for RoK (after all they are our friends), ADI opts to hear out the other side of the story and notices that RoK left some stuff out (friends don't do that!), ADI withdraws support for RoK (not so good friends any more), RoK cancels the treaty (really not good friends any more). I dunno, sounds like a typical day on Planet Bob to me. To those who I know will quote this and bring up Warbuck posting fake logs, give it a rest. While I disagree with log-dropping, the fact of the matter is that it can't be proved either way, I'll prove it to you:
[quote]VanHooIII[RoK] [13:21:02] Tri...I need to tell you something...
LordTri[ADI] [13:21:43] Hey Hoo, whats up?
VanHooIII[RoK] [13:22:14] I secretly have a poster of Edward Cullen in my room...[/quote]

[quote name='Van Hoo III' date='17 February 2010 - 07:28 PM' timestamp='1266434883' post='2187790']
Posts like these only remind us that we will be doing the right thing. You of all people have no right to even type the term "aqua peace". 1. Aqua peace will be damaged due to you own actions. 2. You were more than willing to break "aqua peace" for your own benefit previously.
This entire post is typical John Warbuck garbage and lies.
[/quote]
Is this for real?
[b]"Aqua peace will be damaged due to your own actions"[/b] - As I recall, I brought up the idea of negotiation with you, Hoo. Rather than even think on that idea, how did you react? You banned me from #rok, someone who wasn't trolling, who came in peace in an effort to bring the peace. I attempted to broker peace, I fought to negotiate and bring our alliances to the table, along with others, but you could care less about peace, so long as you get your little "revenge".
[b]"You were more willing to break "aqua peace" for your own benefit previously."[/b] - Being the man who negotiated on behalf of TDO during the little ADI-TDO issue, I'd say I have every right to comment on this. You see, this is where the difference between you and Warbuck is evident. Warbuck, while being extraordinarily upset over multiple transgressions by TDO, was capable of being level-headed and speaking with me on the matter. Warbuck heard me out, and we developed a way to keep the peace between our alliances. So don't come at the world acting like you are just in your reasoning because, as per the reason's stated in the first quote, you are way off.
EDIT: While I doubt this post has done anything to change your mind, if you do decide that you desire peace, you know me Hoo, and you know I'm always willing to discuss the idea. You see? Now it's your choice. -

Im POSITIVE Hoo is behind these attacks. Give ADI a couple of days, and they will manufacture logs to prove as much.
Also, roguing could not have happened to a more deserving group.

Cute joke, but no logs (real or manufactured) will be dropped so long as I lead this alliance. So while a cute joke, it is also old. Find some new material and we'll talk.

Thank ya, Hoo.
This thread is a very simple thread, we are letting the Cyberverse know that ADI is under attack by rogues who (at the moment) we know nothing about. The fact that this has managed to devolve into trolling, is rather upsetting. ADI is under entirely different leadership than it was when the material that the trollers are using even came up. But hey, if it helps you get your jolly on, by all means continue. If you are actually attempting to sway public opinion, I'd have to say that your old rhetoric is falling on deaf ears.
