It's very good to know the AA will remain protected. This is greatly appreciated.

[quote name='bros2' timestamp='1291444562' post='2529834'] you really want me to come at you? [/quote] You're a letter too much for him.

[quote name='Kevin McDonald' timestamp='1290884555' post='2524696'] Actually, I spent a while talking to him last night... and now I'm a true believer. As soon as my war with him expires I'm gonna switch sides and DoW you, EW. [/quote] I demand in on this.

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1290994880' post='2525566'] Hahaha. There are about three people that can talk to me about classiness, Ardus is not one of them. This happened a month ago, the well-wishes lasted 1 day, as far as I know there is no one left on the Kronos AA at this point, so there is no one to recruit, just a tongue-in-cheek comment before the mods arrive. Take your moralism somewhere else, big guy. [/quote] This is no place for your "tongue-in-cheek comments" either way. This announcement needs no more derailment. Great to see you again Ptricky.

This is a great match. Glad to see both of you together.

Beware of errant apples and/or angry old men with canes.

Have you transformed into a monstrous vermin? That would be rather unpleasant.

[quote name='ktarthan' timestamp='1290216408' post='2517844'] I don't exactly "disagree", but I find this funny, considering GOONS and WF have nations of rather similar seniorities, [i]and[/i] they're bigger than us. I guess we just complain more about our joints? [/quote] It's probably the cane, tbh.

[quote name='Alterego' timestamp='1289889536' post='2514233'] Smacks of desperation. Evil NPO doesnt work any more, thay paid for their past and have done nothing in 18 months. Why dont you conduct your foreign affairs based on your own ideals rather than stealing NPOs ideals and telling us what NPO would have done years ago under a different leadership [/quote] That's nice. Doesn't mean they can't be criticized if they do something else wrong now, which is what MK is indicating. Edit: I should probably read things before talking about them.

[quote name='Mr Damsky' timestamp='1289188146' post='2505703'] How can you give me the truth again if you haven't given me "the truth" in the first place. [/quote] He hasn't quite pulled it out of his nether regions, be patient.

This has been the hardest week in all of my career. Kronos was my first home. We went through a lot - most of which would have killed most alliances long ago. We were truly something very special, and something I will never forget. To everyone that made our community possible, thank you. Truly. There will never be another place like it.

This treaty seems like one large contradiction.

This has my blessing.

[quote name='wickedj' timestamp='1284231572' post='2450022'] i, for one, expected this to be about Kronos. [/quote] I knew deep down in my heart we'd be mentioned for some reason in this. Thank you, truly.

I think this has been the most mind numbing thing I've ever read.

[quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1283642080' post='2441831'] Most rogues act against alliances outside the current mainstream power structure actually. Claiming that NPO and Argent currently represent the power structure is either a feat of delusion or you're just trying to score random political points to suit your agenda here. When a rogue takes action against an alliance inside the current power structure, any kind of assistance to it gets the assister rolled. If a Kronos rogue hit Ragnarok, say, you'd be looking at a whole other scenario. Of course, Kronos doesn't do that. They know which side the bread is buttered on. [/quote] Since when have we been talking about any rogue that originated from Kronos? Though, I do find it amusing you still think we control people who leave our alliance of their own volition and perform actions we very obviously do not sanction. Also, we butter our own bread, thank you very much. We have our own special ingredients, any other butter is just distasteful.

[quote name='Bavaricar' timestamp='1283313634' post='2437878'] You'd be right, if that were the case. [/quote] Seeing as that is indeed the case, I'm glad we agree. [quote name='Haflinger' timestamp='1283314113' post='2437885'] I'm glad to see Kronos finally displaying some honesty. [/quote] Perhaps you'd care to enlighten me as to what we were being dishonest about? For the sake of decent argument, I'd prefer facts over factoids if you can manage it.

[quote name='Bavaricar' timestamp='1283311962' post='2437850'] What's ironic? That you've argued yourselves into a circle? [/quote] No, the attempt to call someone out for misreading a post when you in fact did the very same was rather ironic. Perhaps you've confused a circle with a line? Happens to me all the time.

[quote name='Bavaricar' timestamp='1283308721' post='2437788'] LotS stated there is no difference between wars of purpose and wars for the hell of it. I answered that. Geez, the NPO sure must have been something for the mere mention of their name in a post to mess with people's ability to read what follows. [/quote] That's rather ironic, considering you completely misread what Legend said. He stated he supports warring for grudges or lulz, as long as they aren't masked as "valid" CBs. Not once did he state anything about such a war morally equating to a war in defense of an ally.

[quote name='WorldConqueror' timestamp='1282709381' post='2430453'] The size, harshness, or intended humour of a set of terms does not in any way effect the fact of their existence. [/quote] No, seriously. It's a beer review. It'll take someone 15 minutes. This is a thousand times closer to white peace than any actual terms.

This treaty is a work of art. Makes me a little misty.

[quote name='Emperor of Cheese' timestamp='1282265755' post='2423708'] Putting me in gov was a bad idea. YOU'RE ALL GOING TO BURN. [/quote] Your personal embassy is depressingly empty, good sir.

Many things have happened within the last two hours I had hoped I would never see in my time on this world. Until this moment, Kronos and The Global Order of Darkness have been close friends for a very long time. We have stood by each other through each adversity that has faced the other, and held out support with open arms. On this day however, this friendship has been broken. GOD has not only betrayed out trust, but infringed our sovereignty, disrespected some of our closest friends, and disrespected us. Never before have I felt such anger. This will not go unpunished. Kronos hereby enacts the follow clause of our MDoAP with GOD: [quote]Cancellation: Should either party wish to cancel this treaty, they may do so with 72 hours private notice, after which time a NAP will remain in place for 48 hours. [/quote] Unlike you, we will not **** on our treaty. You have 5 days. Prepare for rain gentleman.

[quote name='Baldr' date='21 June 2010 - 07:04 PM' timestamp='1277165062' post='2345844'] That's funny. The raiders want to steal tech, land, money by attacking someone smaller than them, with no warning, usually with multiple nations hitting at once. But it's extortion if they aren't allowed to do it without repercussions. [/quote] Though I appreciate that you completely ignored my point in an effort to slander me and raiding in general, that's still quite a stretch. Anyone who push reps for a purely verbal protectorate agreement is either trying to extort people, start something, or is naive and incompetent. [quote name='Myworld' date='21 June 2010 - 10:14 PM' timestamp='1277176444' post='2346117'] Look guys, we ask our protectorates to do exactly what you all have been repeating from the being. Make sure they have the "Protected by DT" or "Protected by The Dark Templar" in their bios, and in most of our protectorates we have an agreement typed up and viewable to everyone, but in some cases while deals are worked out and relations built a little better it's a verbal agreement between alliances, but they still put it in their bios so people do know when they pull up a nation. Same goes with our Academy members in DT Probes with putting it in their bios as well. Now the problem is that people failed English 101 and Reading Composition and decided to raid anyways. And for those cases that is what the post is meant for. [/quote] In that case, it is on the raiders. Hope this cuts down on the annoyances a bit.

[quote name='Fort Pitt' date='21 June 2010 - 05:14 PM' timestamp='1277158469' post='2345713'] We do take that into account, however the fact that they are protected is the problem of the raider. I fail to see how that isn't digesting well with you people. [/quote] That's essentially extortion. With that logic, you could feasibly claim any alliance your verbal protectorate and demand reps. The whole point of announcing such things is to eliminate this problem. It's good you've announced it here, but you can hardly complain about raids on a purely verbal protectorate.
