Sir, I hardly think this announcement could be construed as a "pile on" to the USN. Our respective governments have divergent opinions that are not influenced by unrelated treaties, I'll leave it at that and wish the USN the best.

Yes, MA and KaitlinK have long since been freed from the protectorate liability that is The Brain but we still have diplomatic ties.

The Brain and the United Sovereign Nations have a long history together. The Brain currently has five former USN admins among our ranks and numerous other former USN government members. The USN is free to handle their political treaties any way they choose, as former members we have absolutely no right to dictate the policies of the USN but we do have the right to react to their policies. Due to the history between us, it pains me to announce this cancellation but our alliances haven't had much, if any, interaction lately and are evidently headed in different directions. Best of luck to the USN.

This reeks of old grudges on Free's part. Cora knows that we have a great amount of respect for her and the USN as a whole. Though we all love him, Free's bark is worse than his bite?

The Brain is subject to the limbic system which unfortunately causes us to make decisions of this manner when it comes to friends. Cam and I have had rough spots but for the most part we've been long time allies. The fact that he asked for aid under false pretenses is quite disappointing and surely makes all eight pounds and six ounces of baby Jesus cry. Despite that, the orbitofrontal cortex in me concludes that our best option is to patiently wait the duration of hostilities and expect payment in full from Camerontech. We meant no harm, best of luck to all parties involved in the hostilities.

A stellar looking government all around but I like the fact that PIGSUCKBINLADEN is still around. I miss his colorful posts, good guy.

This is shocking, depending on the audience. Two very respectable and formerly tightly knit alliances have canceled a strong treaty, could it be that some of those who formed those original bonds have had a change of heart or moved on? So you're still friends who are no longer holding hands but skipping together is still an option.

All alliances are small compared to the top 10-20 and you have to start someplace. From one small alliance to two others, nice treaty.

This really speaks to the fact that joining an alliance is far and above the best thing you can do to ensure the success of your nation. Many new rulers are simply unaware of the horrors that may befall on their nation if they do not join an alliance and are conditioned by their experience with e-mail to ignore spamtastic messages like "Join us!" or "Fre moniez fo you're naton!" It is unfortunate that many of your citizens had to perish and those who remained had to trade in their MP3 players for 8-tracks due to the decreases in tech before you came to this realization but at least you did realize that you needed help. Your new alliance should be able to offer advice and aid on how to optimize growth. Best of luck bro.

Congratulations USN, the Senate biting the dust puts a smile on my face.

Expected this, long time coming.

Forgive CSN for they know not what they have done, may gods have mercy on our souls. o/ Goose o/ CSN

A hat-trick of posts over three days on OWF, strange. Nice work Neurons.

Is there foreshadowing with article VI? I've always been a big fan of NOON. /o NOON /o Wolfpack

Love it. /o SLCB and The Brain

/o to all of us and such.

Signed.

Congratulations MA, nice work Kait.

I previously had great respect for OBR but this has shattered the illusion I had of them as an honorable alliance. It is ridiculous to think that any alliance would have honored such a treaty/scam but the fact that they pulled the wool over so many of our eyes is quite disturbing.

The Brain does not support this surgical procedure and quite frankly, it frightens and confuses us to think about it.

Congratulations SLCB, a classy bunch with a great Fear and Loathing quote in the subject. Here's to 1kk NS coming in short order.
