Hmm.. Interesting cancellation. The Orders are now separated, for the most part. I'm curious to see what effect this has on the foreign policy directions the NPO and NSO decide to take. I'll "stay tuned," I suppose. Best of luck to both parties, though the Sith would do well to at least [i]attempt[/i] to avoid insulting dignitaries from other alliances, regardless of their personal opinions toward those aforementioned AA's. There's no downside to being respectful, at least in my honest opinion.

Congratulations, GATO. That's quite an exceptional government you've put together.

This was a fine report, Sir Paul, and an informative read as well. Congratulations on your recent growth, Pacifica.

Welcome to the UJA, Legacy! Great to have you onboard!

Great to see an end to this war. o/ VE

It's understandable that many people are surprised and confused by this treaty - it does appear to be quite an unlikely pairing. What isn't understandable is that many people seem to support the idea that the Entente is in the wrong here, and that by signing a treaty with an alliance that doesn't share 110% of Viridia's own viewpoint on various CN-related topics of discussion (like Tech Raiding), Viridia itself is compromising its own morality. Where in the rules does it say we cannot have friends who have different opinions on certain aspects of CN? Where is it written that by signing a treaty with an alliance that's different than your own, you yourself forfeit your own morality; your own point-of-view? Where is it chiseled in stone that friends must be the exact mirror of each other when juxtaposed? Viridia has found a friend in GOONS; a friend that many alliances in CN would be honored to have. And while we have our differences ... so what? We believe what we believe, and they believe what they believe. We don't argue over each other's beliefs, so I honestly cannot see why those who aren't even members of the Entente or the GOONS find the need to argue over our differences for us. The beliefs of the GOONS don't compromise the beliefs of Viridia, and vice versa. It's ridiculous to believe that they do, yet sadly, many people seem to have fallen to that special level of idiocy - a level from which they may never return.

Bob Janova. He uses logic with brutal effectiveness, and he's able to maintain a level-head in even the most heated of OWF discussions. He also strikes me as one of the wiser members of CN, too.

I believe everyone who is at odds here would do well to take their disagreements into private, as the OWF is generally a poor place to discuss important issues that need to be addressed.

Welcome to the Green Sphere, CIA! It's great to have ya'll with us!

[quote name='Haflinger' date='21 June 2010 - 12:19 PM' timestamp='1277140754' post='2345378'] I've seen raiders arguing that bios are unreliable, so claims of protection in them should be ignored as well. [/quote] I agree with this. People can lie in their nation bios and get away with it easily enough; the Wiki is a much more effective means of checking to see if a certain nation is truly protected or not. With that being said, it's crucial that every alliance keeps their Wiki up-to-date. Even if you're protecting someone due to a verbal agreement, you should still include it in your Wiki to prevent confusion, as well as to keep misinformed raiders from striking your protectorate's nations.

Congratulations to our allies in RoK. This treaty is good to see. o/ RoK

Epic. This bloc just won CN.

Redundant treaty was redundant. Don't need multiple papers to show we're best buds. o/ VE, RoK, and RIA
