King Tower IV

Personally, this is the greatest day of my CN career. Not so long ago these two alliances didn't see eye to eye. Today we turn over a new leaf, working together under a treaty that many thought would never happen. I am happy to be a part of this historical event. As Kaiser of The German Empire, I can honestly say that this is the greatest achievement to date, and I would like to thank the citizens of TGE for making this possible. Hopefully this is proof that the old ways of TGE are a thing of the past. I cannot thank my friends over at Nordreich enough. There is an old saying over there. "You never really leave Nordreich", this treaty makes that even more true. o/ TGE/NoR

I always wanted to be in Valhalla, if I ever get killed here my soul belongs to Valhalla!

[quote name='Vistarko' timestamp='1330308809' post='2928972'] TGE and TAE are on friendly terms. No need to bring anyone but TAE into this DoE [/quote] We are?

If its German, its got to be good! Join today!

[quote name='Nikita Ilyich Lenin' timestamp='1329760527' post='2924631'] This is the first thing i thought of when i saw this announcement. [img]http://i.imgur.com/3297O.png[/img] [/quote] Couldn't be further from the truth. Excuse the double post, I just had to get that off my chest.

Not to highjack this thread but yes we are working diligently on getting the past far away from us. The new thing emerging was a small goal we set when I became Kaiser, no need to unveil that goal here. Thanks for the compliments.

[quote name='Nemhauser' timestamp='1329873718' post='2925348'] Oh look, it's the !@#$%* part of the old TGE. [/quote] Still cant figure out why our name was brought into this, or Nordreichs for that matter. New TGE will never be old TGE again! Glad you got that straight Nemhauser [quote name='Proest' timestamp='1329874566' post='2925356'] So... Nordreich, TGay and now Austrian Empire... well... where's the Polish Empire at? [/quote] ...and who is TGay? Sounds like a fitting alliance for you

Good to see you pulled those two rotten teeth. You should feel much better now. Way to go RoK.

I am sure a tradition of excellence will continue at Nordreich with Zeppelin, and Bassman at the head. Nemhauser, you have always been a Kaiser worthy of serving and I'm sure that your style of leadership has rubbed off on the ones you left to take your place. You will however be missed. o/ Nordreich

Isolde and myself send our most sincer condolences, our thoughts and prayers are with you. It may not be much but we would like you to know that all of our social contacts have been alerted.

[quote name='Vanilla Napalm' timestamp='1326430875' post='2898559'] So... the point of the announcement, other than publically humiliating yourself? [/quote] Obviously, you are having problems with simple comprehension.

[quote name='Aeros' timestamp='1326423123' post='2898471'] If you guys don't want to meet the obligations of the tech deal, then I would think simply returning the money would be more amicable and lead to less hard feelings all around. Not sure what you all hope to accomplish by publicly stating you are disavowing past arrangements and then not offer a solution to the obvious problem this poses. [/quote] We are going to meet the obligations. No problem. The point here is that after all present obligations are met we will seek to regroup here, and rethink what was misunderstood. Its sort of hard to uphold deals that you were not fully enlightend on, and that there were no records of. After everything has been squared away then maybe we can renegotiate. Thanks to everyone for their patience while we try to resolve this issue in the best way we possibly can.

[quote name='Anson' timestamp='1326421492' post='2898458'] At the time that I appointed you as Minister of State Affairs, in the Finanzen Statte (our finance area), there was a section referring to tech deals. Inside that section, you would find a topic entitled Emperors Boost Program, or something that was worded very similarly. Furthermore, at the time that I appointed you to Minister of State Affairs, there was a publicly visible section on the forums entitled Public Announcement Archives. Inside that section was a copy of what exactly the Emperor's Boost Program is, well was, as well as Google Calendar links that outlined exactly what was supposed to be done and when. Also at the time that I appointed you Minister of State Affairs, there was no sitting Minister of State Affairs, there was an minimally active (as in he rarely checked into forums, or if he did he did not post hardly at all) Minister of Defense, there was a Minister of Finance who was not able to do his job due to the mystical thing called real life, so he was very inactive. Furthermore, President Orff, who was at that time the Chancellor, was sending out recruitment messages and processing admissions as they arrived. That left everything else for me to do. I am by no means complaining, so please don't misconstrue my statement as such. The purpose of the Emperor's Boost Program, as outlined in a government archive post, was to load the members with a bunch of cash, and then have them send out tech. Yes, I admit that I did not follow up with the members and keep on them to send their tech. For that I do apologize. However, as the Emperor (at that time this was my title), I represented the alliance to Ragnarok, Asgaard, and North American Confederacy, and possibly a couple more, with the express intention of acquiring buyers to send the cash. I did guarantee to the buyers that The German Empire, not Anson ruler of Texas, would guarantee their tech, as you suggested should happen in this quote: As for the charge of Peace Mode after declaring on RIA, I declared on RIA at the urging of the Prussian House of Lords, which, if memory serves correctly, is how it was done at that point. I was fully ready to go into battle in the name of the Germany I served. It was you, King Tower, herr Kaiser, that asked that I do not go into war, but rather, switch to peace mode. As for my resignation, I announced my resignation to the Prussian House of Lords on the 17th, and to the membership on the 18th. I announced that I would leave on the 24th. I left one day early as the transition process was complete. You yourself said that you knew everything that was going on, and yes, that's a paraphrase. So you are completely right, I did make mistakes during my time as the leader of The German Empire. I am accountable to my actions, and the statements that I make. Are you? [/quote] Thank you for your honesty Anson, this was a bit confusing to us all here. All that can be done now is pick up the pieces and move on. Yes I too can own up to my mistakes when one is made. As we all know, you cannot truly learn from them if you can't admit it.

Firstly, as sitting Kaiser I would like to say that TGECN is in no way trying to cheat or steal anything from anybody. Everyone that is owed tech will get it Now let me give my best explaination here. This whole thing that Anson had going on with other alliances started quite a few weeks before I ever joined TGECN. I was truly unaware of what was going on. Even after he appointed me as Minister of State Affairs I still had no clue as he never brought his whole "Emperors boost program" to my attention. As a matter of fact he even directed me into setting up tech deals and mentioned nothing about his other dealings. Had I known about this program of his, and known the dynamics of it I would have been glad to continue with what was already going on. Surely someone that put together such a program should have had a log of all transactions that has transpired. This is what we lack and therefore has caused us great confunsion. Shortly after Anson declared war on RIA, then he went into peace mode and shortly after that resigned from the alliance and appointed me as Regent, leaving us with great holes to patch and fill. TGECN has no problems dealing tech to any of the involved alliances here, I hope that we can get this worked out, and someday continue business as usual. As for now we will have to settle up with what ever, then see what we have to work with from there. We do not seek drama of any kind, and hope that we can resolve this matter in a civil way.

[quote name='berbers' timestamp='1326037084' post='2895719'] I thought the format was decent enough, I don't think Smurf would rig the voting as it wouldn't be any benefit to do so. One thing I've noticed about this community is that everybody has a reason why your idea sucks, but no good ideas of their own. Also, Gamer wife with an English accent? My wife gets jealous over the computer! You are a lucky man [/quote] Yes, for once in my life I did get lucky. More than that shes hot too.

[quote name='Unknown Smurf' timestamp='1326004413' post='2895510'] Dear idiots, Stop voting multiple times, I can see IPs of those who vote, multiple votes will not count. The person who votes "Non Grata" for the first 3 and skipped the rest of the questions around 20 times is wasting his time... I can't connect that IP to CN so I don't know who it is, but come on now, it's easy for me to delete. At the very least don't use my name as the one submitting [/quote] Oh yeah, we(my wife and I) met on this game. She came to the USA from England to marry me so now we are in fact on the same ip together. This issue has been cleared with CN admin and we are allowed to continue to play the game from the same ip. I dont imagine this will matter when it comes to voting here, and I guess that is understood. It is a shame that our votes will be cancelled out.

[quote name='Regent of Omerta' timestamp='1325979244' post='2895139'] Just curious why a thread about peace has turned into a "whine" fest by people unaffected by anything posted here. [/quote] This comment could very well apply to 90% of this whole forum.

The German Empire most active! .......and come on, you know my Arnold siggy is killer!

good luck with this I suppose.

[quote name='XRCatD' timestamp='1325895676' post='2894373'] Wow this is great! How often will these issues be? [/quote] Weekly, maybe even more often. It would be nice if we could get news from other alliances as well to put in this thing.

oh wow, this should be fun!

[quote name='Charles Stuart' timestamp='1325861290' post='2894091'] If this keeps up TGE is going to be seen as the new France. [/quote] Incase you didnt read the fine print, we can scrap better than the French. V, is for Victory!

Good show XRCatD. TGE wishes you well.

[quote name='Captain Flinders' timestamp='1325834119' post='2893905'] My short war with you was by far the most bizarre of them all. I won battles I should have lost and lost battles I should have won. But if we're keeping track, your lack of warchest made my victories minimally profitable. You still owe. I will be sending my boys over to collect. That or break your thumbs. [/quote] just let me know when its time to go to work boss
