    Think Back to Last Year

    This wasn't the time Martens betrayed NPO/NpO/GOONS, was it? I don't think so... was this the time ICP tried to join Maroon and everyone was like "WHAT" and kicked them out? I can't remember. This time last year I was fuming at some people in IRON and would shortly be leaving for NPO.

    This doesn't make sense... Doitzel's nation is County Doitzel, and he isn't GATO. And there is no nation "Kingdom of Kaos." Someone is not on the up-and-up.

    Wow,

    So if an alliance chooses to go to war just cause it wants to or because it feels threataned, that is a sovereign action, so long as the alliance is willing to bear the consequences of its action. But if a group of alliances want their justification to be a treaty obligation against some alliance that is engaging in behavior that they have determined is "wrong" (read: because they want to or feel threatened by the "wrong" behavior), then that is World Tyranny.

    Selective Sovereignty, anyone?

    Whatever happened to sovereignty?

    Martens, you accept the concept of national and alliance sovereignty, as well as the voluntary checks to that sovereignty that alliances and treaties represent. Everytime nations form an alliance, they are sacrificing national sovereignty to the collective. ANd every time two alliances sign a MDP or MADP they are agreeing to forgo some sovereignty in favor of increased collective security. You can accept these limits on sovereignty as overtly-stated, pre-bellum open agreements. What if, once a conflict arises, an alliance collectively decides that their sovereign choice is to support one side over another because it is their preference? That is certainly an exercise of sovereign choice, yet you reject it if it is cloaked in the propaganda of "right" and "wrong". Your picking and choosing of sovereign rights seems strange and inconsistant.

    A Stance on Cloning and LOSS

    Damn, I shouldn't even reply, this should be locked, but I can't help myself. As probably the only CN nation that has been both LOSS and FAN, the idea of LOSS as some big bad meanie alliance would be hilarious were it not so ridiculous. I mean really, this is LOSS. These guys have been around over a year and they're small because they've been honest and forthright to a fault. Even their enemies think they're decent fellows.

    Hail LOSS for fair play.
