I must have missed that memo, Locke.

Invicta Renews Protectorates with Brotherhood and NAC Over the past week, Invicta's Ministry of Neighbourhood Development has met with our protectorates to renew and refine our agreements. We have agreed to two updated agreements with our neighbours in the Purple Sphere, North American Confederacy and The Brotherhood. Since welcoming them to our block, we have looked after and advised both alliances develop economically and diplomatically. Since moving to Purple Sphere, both the NAC and The Brotherhood (formerly Killed In Action) have entered into the PEACE Economic Bloc and have begin pursuing relations with other alliances, by way of minor treaties and tech deals. Updated treaties for both, which are due for another review in January, can be found on our forums: Treaty of Pettigrew with NAC: http://forums.cn-invicta.com/topic/2194143/ Treaty of Strickler with Brotherhood: http://forums.cn-invicta.com/topic/1964021/ During this review, we also have made the decision to discontinue our protection of The Huns. We consider ourselves willing to assist alliances who otherwise would be overlooked. Unfortunately, even our patience runs out with alliances who fail to show adequate development, demeanour, and proper grammar. Following their leader going rogue on a Spartan nation, we found the future of this alliance untenable and gave notice. It also came to our attention when addressing the rogue situation that talks were in progress between the Huns and The German Empire for Hun nations to join TGE. Notice was given to the rogues and Hun membership on Saturday, and as of 10 a.m. CDT today, our protectorate with The Huns is expired. As there is no leadership present at The Huns, we sadly must declare that The Huns are no longer able to function as a viable alliance. In lieu of expected insults and flames disguised as congratulatory statements and constructive criticism, I request this thread closed. This thread is to merely serve as notice of continued protection of The Brotherhood and North American Confederacy by Invicta. Issued this 20 day of October, 2009, in the 29th month of Invicta's existence, on behalf of Jorost, President of Invicta: /s/ Atlashill of Kansouri Minister of Neighbourhood Development (Also, Dawny )

Helps to remind the layman reader who exactly's getting cancelled on, but best wishes to OV on their future. First?

Then your government should have no problem refuting or validating this, should they wish to.

Quoted for posterity and verification of Stickmen policy.

It's a decent one. Second-strongest gains each day make for sticking around until the end.

Congrats, Mazeltov, etc. May they both develop into the virtues of Pacifica and her friends.

Well done to our Purple neighbours.

It is a privileged to be alongside the IAA. Their prior incarnation was a friend in my books, and Kansouri is glad to have them on our speed dial. o/ Invicta o/ IAA o/ Space Horses, Lasers, and the like o/ BOULEVARDS \o (Also, Dawny )

Salutations to our new neighbours, the PTA. Now, who's running the bake sale next weekend?

Or you can go by its percentage, but then that would put a lot more weight on smaller alliance scores.

Hence my implied suggestion last month that the alliance voted off the island was the worst over the course of three days, like it's done [ooc]on said reality TV program[/ooc].

Already been done. Where is Sir Paul and CNQ when you need him?

In case you hadn't noticed, he purloined half our charter. Hopefully XR1 will have an ounce of creative thought and ambition to ensure this alliance lasts longer than Fallen Knights, but best wishes nonetheless.

Keep up the good work.

Purple is for Lovers indeed. May this friendship last for a long, long, long time. o/ Hydra o/ Invicta o/ Poseidon, Pegasus and PEACE o/ Boulevards \o (Also, Dawny )

Oh, thanks Locke. Our talks with Genghis Khan II have been thorough and promising. Even with the [ooc]egregious historical inaccuracies[/ooc] (the alliance was named by GK's comrade Luther, [ooc]who has a sufficiently Hun name IMO[/ooc]), we are looking forward to helping The Huns develop as a stable and strong alliance. Also, [ooc]we're glad to be the one thing dressed in Purple people in Wisconsin won't hate for the next four months.[/ooc]

Best wishes to Arrnea, Bartimaeus and our iFOK neighbours on the government transition.

Jaffa Cakes unite! Congrats to both parties.

So long as you don't cross someone the wrong way unless you're 150% certain you can get away with it or someone else has your back, it doesn't make much of a difference really. There are several micros out there that are existing without interference and haven't even posted their existence here.

One should know better than to mess with or pull pranks on an alliance run by Ivan Moldavi. Anything that goes on related to NSO, much like when he was in charge of Pacifica, is considered serious business. Not just SRS BSNS. Serious. Business. Granted, I say this with a mere outsider's perspective.

This has to be done. Attacking members of another alliance without due cause is just plain PHAIL. A swift conclusion to this war would be welcome, but if not… nice hearing about you, RyanGDI.

I am glad to see this in place. Things may have drifted between Polaris and Purple for some time, but by no means is it irreparable. Polaris have many friends in Purple, and UPN is the perfect first step. Kudos to Polaris and our UPN neighbours.

We have an old saying: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, NO SOUP FOR YOU! May ZI at the hands of the people from whom you sought protection finally teach you the errors of your ways. Rest assured it is very, very unlikely that you will ever find a friend in Invicta, after running to us for protection only to pull off this act of war on another alliance.

True. If we really wanted to be Survivor purists, we'd limit it to a field around 16 players, so basically anyone who, at the start of the contest, has at least 200 members. But hey: it's whatever the regular Sanction Race updaters what. Just pointing out a possible alternate.
