  6. But your !@#$ is like the police asking us questions, !@#$%*' we don't know !@#$

    Good deal Franz, I'll probably be on irc Monday night, I'll hit you up (sorry, work all weekend). Quite honestly, from the one or two conversations we've had, I enjoy talking to you :P

     

    Auctor:  SHIELD is free to do literally anything they want. Our agreement is that if they don't to something blatantly stupid we're there if they need us. And that's really the only restriction they have, they can sign treaties all the way across the web if they like, we don't mind them being independent in their decisions.

    Nah, originally we'd thought about formally declaring, but then you guys worked things out with SHIELD... But we already had everything ready, so we figured on letting our folks have a little fun. It's hard to feel sorry for an alliance whose members are known for raiding protected alliances, and we don't get out much (I think this is the most I've posted on the OWF in one day in a couple years). Don't take it personally, everyone was just itching for a little fun and y'all kind of caught our attention.

     

    Also, to further clarify, yes, eXcessium did tell TSC and DT that SHIELD and RS had reached an agreement and were fine, so don't let it reflect on them in any sense.

    So, basically, this:

     

    RS and SHIELD are cool with each other, that's nice and all.

     

    But that thread title though... You can't honestly say you expected nothing to happen, or you're just flat-out silly. I'm also a tad concerned that we didn't get at least an honorable mention, but maybe it was because our little raiding party was a tad late to the game. Oh well, we'll try harder next time. On a side note, from a personal perspective, RS, specifically the LT folks within, have been a nuisance... On top of that, DT took their top guy and the only others in my range are hiding in peace mode :(

     

    I guess on our side if RIOT folks let the wars expire, we'll just sit around and do our thing til the next global war and I'll wait a bit to up my casualties.

  15. A Neighborly Treaty

    Where do I recognize this from?

     

    I used to hang around NSO's channel and talk to shaneprice every now and again, I know we've had conversations at some point :P

    Also used to run BioCorp, and was protected by App.

     

     

    You are Alex. You are not the Alex that annoys me. I like you. 

     

    :mellow:

     

    Thanks, I think :huh:

    The Old Newbies Accord

     

     

    New Kid on the Block Meets Old Man Overlord:

    The alliances AGW Overlords (AGW) and The SandStorm Confederation (TSC) hereby aknowledge that we'll continue to acknowledge one another, until Alzheimer's sets in or this fad has passed.

     

    Stay Off My Lawn, Unless You're Cutting It:

    Members of both alliances will have R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the other and will not commit acts of aggresstion against each other, less Alex will beat you fiercly with whatever object happens to be closest.

     

    How Do You Work These New Fangled Spy Ops?:

    Both signatories agree to share information regarding the other if they hear the neighbors gossiping, or read about it on one of those feelpad typewriter thingys. Unless otherwise agreed, what happens on the porch, stays on the porch.

     

    Have A Butterscotch Candy:

    If the homeowners association is complaining about your "socks only jogs" again, we'll help fund the election for new board memers. In return, when the bullies start giving us a hard time, dip into that retirement fund so we can buy a bazooka.

     

    The National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse Clause:

    If there are kids on your lawn, we'll kill them if we deem it necessary. If friday night BINGO gets a little Unruly and spills into my lawn, maybe you can break out those filed down dentures?

     

    Beat Him With Your (Sword) Cane.

    If the jerk from Geek Squad is ripping you off, we might hold him down for you. Then we can go take care of little Johnnie, that ****er keeps taking my lunch money.
     
    It's Called A Phablet:

    I'll teach you how to skype so we can stay in touch, all the time... every waking moment... I'll be watching you.

    Sometimes things happen. If things happen, give a 48 hour heads up.

  19. A Sandstorm Announcement

    in Alliance Announcements (IC)

    Posted · Edited by Alex0827a

    So, a 3.5 sentence announcement and a short list, because tl;dr is my middle name:

     

    The North American Confederacy is merging into Sandstorm. Our name is changing to The Sandstorm Confederacy to reflect this. The North American Confederacy AA is under our protection for the duration of this process, standard procedure and whatnot. Our new gov lineup:

     

    Shavar - Head of Finance

    RattleHead - Head of War

    Alex0827a - Head of Foreign Affairs

    Satan1612 - Head of Internal Affairs

    ConRed - Incoming Gov Bomb :P

    veracity - Doesn't want a gov title, but still does things

     

     

    Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day :)

    Glad to see this up, and still grossed out by your avatar

    You know you love my avatar :P

     

    another one alex? what is this now your 3rd alliance?

     

    what's the matter? is your ego to big for the AAs you start or are the AAs you start too small for your ego?

     

    and lol, DoE without a complete government

    It's been what, a year, and you're still butthurt? lololol as I recall, you're the only one that got all pissy when I left. You're an alright guy, I figured you'd be over it by now, and maybe you'd have accepted that if I had actually thought Legion would go to war, I would've stayed, but I didn't receive anything from gov saying they would. And no, not ego (anything but, as this time around all gov members have equal power), but trying to pump some life back into a mostly inactive alliance. I'd say it's working, as there's more people now than there were in Bio, and only 2 or 3 people have left the Bio AA.

     

    Good luck Alex. Let me know if you need anything.

    Wu! Been a while man, still luffs you :wub:

    Nobody entertained the idea that there may be others who are slightly delayed in joining us (hence the empty gov spots)? :o

     

    @ Agent Nuke - Official name's Sandstorm, used to be Bio.

     

    @ Keyt and mmansfield68 - Thanks ^_^

     

    @ iamthey - probably the main reason I got one was because I've been friendly with SNAFU gov for roughly two years now, that tends to help :P

     

    @ potato - I'm glad I made you glad :D

     

    And now a side note:  To those who go into every Micro DoE and whine and moan... Nobody actually cares, so stop wasting your time :awesome:

    Deep within the confines of the largest desert on Planet Bob, a Sandstorm was brewing. It uncovered the ruins of what had once been The Biohazard Corporation's main office, which had been buried for quite some time. Once the Sandstorm began to strengthen, the once magnificent building disappeared into the midst of the Sandstorm. The walls began to disintegrate, making seem as if The Biohazard Corporation had become not just immersed in, but a part of the Sandstorm. This Sandstorm was unique, it seemed to never run out of energy. Throughout time it would just keep on going, regardless of anything that happened to be in the way.

    And so, here we are, a fresh start with some familiar faces and what should amount to a metric ton more activity. Forums can be found [url=http://www.cnsandstorm.forumotion.com]here[/url], where anyone and everyone is welcome to join us for some relaxation, sandsculpting contests, and the like. For those who care to read, here's our charter:

     

    sandstormflag2.jpg

     


    Article I                          Membership

    Article II                         Governance

    Article III                        Members

    Article IV                        Policies

    Article V                         Treaties

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    Article I                          Membership

    a)      A nation wishing admission to Sandstorm must meet the following criteria:

    1- The applicant must not be in any offensive wars.

    2- The applicant must not be in Peace Mode.

    3- The applicant must be willing to go through an interview by a member of the government.

    4- The applicant must be prepared to disclose and settle any outstanding grievances with other Alliances prior to acceptance.

    b)      Applicants who are being raided will make all attempts to make peace with their attackers. The government of Sandstorm will give all assistance within reason to end the raid.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Article II                         Governance

    The government of Sandstorm will consist of a Council composed of four Elders (who have indefinite terms) and one elected Tribal Elder.



    Elder Definitions



    Tribal Elder
    I.                   The Election Process
    The election process will consist of three days of nominations and two days of voting. The member receiving the most votes will be given the title of Tribal Elder. Elections will take place every three months. The Tribal Elder is expected to help run the alliance wherever needed, and provide input from the membership's viewpoint.

    I.                    Elder Of War
    This position requires the holder to be the leader of the Task Forces for every strength range. The EoW is also responsible for doing reports on possible enemies and current enemies. They will receive requests for reinforcements during a time of war and manage them accordingly. They will also ensure the readiness of all members for war at any time. He/she will determine the DEFCON level of the alliance.

    II.                  Elder Of Travel
    This position requires the holder to maintain cordial conditions with every alliance on our boards. The EoT will also open embassies at any other alliances’ forums, at his/her discretion. Also, this Minister will appoint apprentices as they see fit to share work, get coffee, or type reports on various diplomatic standings with other alliances.

    III.                Elder Of the Treasury
    This position requires the holder to organize and conduct tech deals and build up the smaller nations of Sandstorm. He will appoint certain nations as banks (with their acceptance of the role) to provide free monetary aid to any deserving nation within Sandstorm. They will ensure overall economic growth for the alliance.

    IV.               Elder Of Organization
    This position requires the holder to recruit as many nations as possible to Sandstorm, using any means required, with the exception of poaching. They will also be responsible for sending out any alliance announcements in the form of in-game private messages. This Elder will also appoint apprentices to recruit with/for them.

    Side Note:  An Elder has the power to oversee activities dealing with their department as they see fit. If it is a matter that involves more than one department, they are expected to work together efficiently and effectively to achieve the desired result. Should any member of the Council disagree with how a Elder is doing their job, they may bring it up to the rest of the government (including said Elder) and the matter will be resolved in a way that denotes maturity and courtesy.
     

    [/left]

     

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Article III                        Members

    Members of Sandstorm will go through two stages. Prospect and Member.

    a)     Prospect - A Prospect is a nation that is in the application process to Sandstorm and has not yet been accepted. A Prospect will have the AA of Sandstorm Applicant.

    b)     Member – A member is the backbone of Sandstorm, and therefore have the right to vote in some matters regarding policy within the alliance.

    All members must:

    •         Be respectful to one another

    •         Defend each other verbally, militarily, or in any other way conveniently possible.

    •         Respect all government decisions and settle grievances regarding policy in private with the appropriate Elder.

    •         Be prepared to defend Sandstorm at all times.

    •         Respect all people with different views and beliefs or lack thereof, until they cease to show the same respect.

    It should be noted that members are encouraged to express their personal views in all situations, even if their views contrast with the alliance’s official position.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Article IV                        Policies

    a)      Raid Policy-
    Members of Sandstorm are not allowed to raid other nations.

    b)      Ghosting Policy-

    I.             Any nation ghosting on the Sandstorm AA will be asked to either apply on the Sandstorm forums or switch off the AA. If neither is accomplished in 48 hours the violator will be punished, the extent of which will depend on their disposition toward the Member or Elder which asked them to cease.

    II.          Ghosts may be exempted from the Ghosting Policy if ghosting Sandstorm to fight for it in a war. Ghosts under these circumstances may not declare war on another nation unless Sandstorm is at war, and then only a nation in the alliance Sandstorm is fighting.

    c)       Internal Policy-

    I.             Expulsion - All expulsions are final. These may only be served for intentional, detrimental actions against Sandstorm.

    II.           Censorship – Sandstorm's members will not divulge information that is to be kept within the alliance, and are expected to have common courtesy when posting on forums.

    III.          ZI - Sandstorm does endorse the use of ZI as a form of punishment to enemies. Sandstorm's form of ZI will have the victim reduced to zero infrastructure until the end of war with said nation.

    IV.              PZI and EZI – These tactics are not to be used against any nation, for this ruins the experience of the game for the victim. We do not wish that on any player of Cyber Nations and so it will not be used at all.

    V.               Raiding Sandstorm Member - Any person who raids a member of Sandstorm will either agree to pay reparations or be subject to retaliation. Immediately following the raid, the Sandstorm member may, at his or her discretion, attack back. Failure to pay reparations or allow punishment of the culprit will result in war.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [b]
    Article V                         Treaties

    All treaties must be signed by four of the five Elders, although the unanimous agreement among government members is preferred. Treaties will be followed and honored no matter what difficulty it causes Sandstorm, the only exception being if our ally actually asks us to stay out of a conflict.

    [b]Article VI

    Government Voting

    The majority of decisions made within Sandstorm will be a result of an internal Government vote.
    This Government vote comprises solely of the Council. Any member of the alliance who wishes to put up a motion that was not passed for reconsideration may do so at any time, at which time the government will debate it in a spot on the forums viewable to all alliance members, so that they may explain their reasoning as to the initial vote.


    Current gov is as follows:

    Elder of War: Vacant
    Elder of Organization: Satan1612
    Elder of Travel: Alex0827a
    Elder of the Treasury: Fabricio Rodriguez
    Tribal Elder: Vacant

     

     

    Protection is granted by SNAFU, treaty to be posted shortly :)

     

    The Biohazard Corporation AA is protected by Sandstorm until we say otherwise.

     

    Edit: For one reason or another, half the stuff's bold and half of it isn't... But I'm not really bothered enough to do anything about it, so enjoy :)
