[quote name='Locke' timestamp='1301624164' post='2681822'] It's not April Fools yet. [/quote]As of posting it was April Fools for FOK and a couple other Euro alliances, so I guess it counts.

[quote name='UberSpion' timestamp='1301332460' post='2679154'] I would like to congratulate this fine alliance on their creation! This alliance is based on a disagreement between our glorious leaders and the triumvirates of this tubular alliance. The disagreement was based around the triumvirates of this alliance wanting to bash into the ground, via prolonged/illegal tech raid, a former iFOK member (lionn5) who served valiantly through our last war. He engaged more targets and took more damage then two of these triumvirates combined. The justification behind this was that he was ghosting FOK, which he removed himself from moments after the engagement. Luckly Bartimaeus joined in the bashing after lionn5 left the AA and saved the day... They disliked lionn5, and it didn't really matter what he did to justify it, they wanted his pixels. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/1KOgt.jpg[/IMG] While I wasn't particularly fond of lionn5, I didn't see the justification for what played out. Their ability to maturely handle the situation as delegated by iFOK leadership was by no means the caliber to manage a alliance. Thank you for ending your membership with iFOK. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die. [/quote]You really shouldn't air dirty laundry out in the public like this. It just isn't proper. Especially when the laundry has already been cleaned up. GOONS did its research. We've talked to your triumvirate before this treaty was signed. They're over this incident and gave us their blessing. You're not. U, sir, are the one that is, as they say, "mad".

[quote name='SoADarthCyfe6' timestamp='1301199697' post='2677872'] Oh noes, you let Barti in gov't!?! Your totally in for it now!! Cools treaty though, however, I would hardly say GOONS are in the best state of protecting you guys >_> [/quote]One would argue we're in the BEST state to protect someone. We've dealt with 12 alliances, protecting someone from a 13th would be nothin'.

WEREWOLF[/size][/b] [i]Finding a Werewolf can be a daunting endeavor. Alliances need to be made, information needs to be sought out, and split-second decisions need to be agreed on. The people of the Fifth Element (hereafter known as T5E) and some members of the Goon Order of Oppression, Negligence and Sadism (Hereafter known as GOONS) have had quite an advantageous werewolf-hunting relationship together, and thus we make this treaty.[/i] [b][size=4]Articles[/size][/b] [list type=upper-roman][*][b][size=3]We are our own players[/size][/b] Although T5E and GOONS can maintain a profitable wolf-hunting relationship, neither side is allowed to tell the other who they can vote for. [*][b][size=3]Don't vote for me, what the hell?[/size][/b] T5E and GOONS aren't allowed to vote for eachother. That's just wrong. Any issues that may arise between T5E and GOONS will be taken care of in a cordial, private manner. [*][b][size=3]Bandwagon[/size][/b] If T5E is voted as the wolf by a third party and GOONS seers have determined this isn't actually the case, GOONS are obligated to vote on the third party. If GOONS is voted on by a third party, T5E has the option of starting a bandwagon in defense of GOONS. [*][b][size=3]The Seer[/size][/b] T5E agree to share any roles of other alliances they have seen with GOONS, if they believe that these roles may constitute a threat to GOONS being attacked at night. [*][b][size=3]Beyond Werewolf[/size][/b] This agreement may be brought up for review at any time after two months if both parties believe the possibility to do more then just play Werewolf together. If this agreement has not been upgraded after a period of six months, it will be up for mandatory review. [*][b][size=3]The Wolf[/size][/b] If either side uses their seers to see that the other side is actually the wolf, and is sure beyond doubt that they don't just have the traitor role, they may dissolve this agreement with 72 hours notice.[/list] [b]Signed for the Goon Order of Oppression, Negligence and Sadism[/b]: Sardonic, [i]GOONS Pilot[/i] JT Jag, [i]GOONS Co-Pilot[/i] SirWilliam, [i]Pubbie Viceroy[/i] & [i]GOONS Strategos[/i] Lamuella, [i]GOONS Secretariat[/i] Council Members: Tristesse, Biazt, Xodi, dalstrs, KingShibby [b]Signed for The Fifth Element[/b]: Bartiameus46 (Korben Dallas) coldielox (Leeloo) KingKrath (Vito Cornelius)

[quote name='Ernesto Che Guevara' timestamp='1301181387' post='2677565'] Will my smothering love overwhelm any disrespect? [/quote]Of course

[quote name='Velox' timestamp='1301171886' post='2677400'] You're allied to them fyi. [/quote]He knows, he just doesn't particularly care. And I respect that. Not everyone is obligated to post along treaty lines, though a modicum of respect for direct treaty partners would be pleasant.

We are the reason Its us

Welp, wrap it up NADC.

And so the true reason for this war has been revealed. The war on Pacifica was a farce, the true reason for this war was to capture one Rebel Virginia, and make him into one of our own.

[quote name='avenger218' timestamp='1301007678' post='2675207'] no no no no no Arthur, GOONS wanted to hammer us with Reps. money, tech the works, that's why this is continuing. GOONS is why this theater hasn't concluded yet, they're offering people murderous reps that surpass resources in many cases. Like I said how is it bad to hold our ground until they bring us a better offer? [/quote]We have never asked for reps from NADC and you are a dirty liar.

[quote name='Kubla Khan' timestamp='1300916564' post='2674006'] the usual 1.1 bil per round? also, watch the GOONS, expect a die off, on the plus side average NS could even double! [/quote]Us reaching 450 members is more likely then us having a membership die-off before the war ends.

This treaty operates on an entirely different plane of existence. Not necessarily a good one.

[quote name='HeroofTime55' timestamp='1300418067' post='2668675'] Only because I've overloaded on troops. Everything is going according to plan, my invasion of the Minus World is going to catch MK off guard. You never answered my question boy. Who are you? [/quote]He's an active member of GOONS and chats with me pretty much every day. Seeing as I'm now the GOONS #2, and his activity may somehow indirectly effect my thoughts on policy, Kyaris is more relevant then you ever will be.

It's sad we've been out of the Sanction Race for the last month, you guys lost the chance to follow our recruitment drive, where we went from 260-odd members to the 373 we're at now. At least you'll be able to follow us to 400!

[quote name='Zombie Glaucon' timestamp='1300397195' post='2668179'] You feel that you're in a position, morally, to attempt to force people to have fun in certain ways that you approve of? [/quote]No. I can say, objectively, in a factual matter, without any moral bent, that having one side barricaded in peace mode and the other side idly siegeing it just isn't much fun for either side. Simply in terms of entertainment, a month of war and getting back to business would be beneficial to both sides.

[quote name='Zombie Glaucon' timestamp='1300396010' post='2668141'] Is it your claim that cowardice is immoral? [/quote]Perhaps not, but it isn't [i]fun[/i].

[quote name='Varianz' timestamp='1300351433' post='2667507'] Your arguments about reps being "inefficient" really don't ring true, no matter how often you repeat them. I'll put it very simply: reps cost you nothing. Therefore, you don't have to waste a slot sending out money, and then wait ten days to get your tech- you just get free tech. Free being the operative word. You ask for X amount of reps, by Y date, as is customary in a peace agreement with reps. The alliance (NPO) must deliver the reps by that date, or they get rolled. Even if you only charge NPO, say, 1000 tech, it's still more efficient then buying tech, because they're sending you the money, free of charge. In order for reps to be less efficient, you would have to stop buying tech while getting reps, which would be stupid. Umbrella are not stupid. I think you missed the point. [/quote]If the GOONS aid airlift has proven anything, it's that spending money means next to nothing to tech addicts like Umbrella and MK's upper tier. All they care about is how quickly they can get their next fix.

[quote name='ShotgunWilly' timestamp='1300336189' post='2666991'] ('cause, lets face it, GOONS is a shadow of what it was [i]antebellum[/i]) [/quote]Statistically we are reduced, but we have 100 more members now than we did before the war started, and 118 more in our applicant AA. It's not unrealistic for us to have 400 members by the time this war is over, and none of them ghosts (because who would ghost GOONS of all AAs right now?). Considering that most of our nations don't need to go far to be rebuilt to where they were pre-war, we're hardly a "shadow" of what we were. I'd say we're poised for explosive growth after this war ends, actually.

Bring GOONS back in tomorrow.

[quote name='kevin32891' timestamp='1300335445' post='2666954'] So you and your rabble just will beat down NPO occasionally just to keep them in line? [/quote]That's a leading question, but really there's not much motivation on our end to fight NPO again any time soon. You lot made this war spectacularly boring, with a couple alliances being exceptions.

[quote name='askani the rotund' timestamp='1300335134' post='2666937'] What exactly would we have been paying reparations for? [/quote]We've never really intended to have NPO pay reps, from day one.

People ask every war, "Reparations are so pointless and unwieldy, why not just fight it out and declare peace when both sides are satisfied?" We offer this to you, Pacifica. You will pay us not a cent. When this is over, you will be left to rebuild, no terms whatsoever. We just want to see you on the field of combat as you truly are, and face you on the field of battle in a duel that will be remembered forever.

I prefer GUNES to be quite honest Good to see this wrapped up.

[quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1300062203' post='2663632'] 6 days short, wow you sure got him!!! [img]http://forums.coj-cn.co.cc/Smileys/expanded/haw.gif[/img] [/quote]It was more the implication that NpO would end up freed up to fight GOONS in a month or two than anything else, Schatt. You're better than this.
