Velocity

I salute you, our good sir. FTW has done well under your years of care and I hope I can continue that legacy.

The only read is that armpit is best pit.

I blame @Smitty256 for mismanaging the schmeckle budget while he was in charge. That is clearly the root cause of the issue here.

Missed this post… j8 this is literally the biggest load of bull I have seen spew from your mouth you should just close it before you take another L from FTW, lord knows we’ve handed your alliance enough across what, 4 wars? This literally makes no sense. The #3 alliance being #2 in damage = bad ???? especially when you consider IRON being significantly larger than us, and how quickly we dropped below CLAWS due to NPO/DBDC super tiers, so for most of the war we could be considered closer to #4. If NPO didn’t out-damage literally everyone by their numbers alone that would actually be beyond pathetic, you should give more credit to your friends. We took like a 4-5 million ns damage deficit at the start of the war when DBDC and NPO had their super tiers and yet nearly evened out the damage ratio in the tiers where it is the most difficult to make up millions in damage. Made up against mostly you and your allies, in fact. PGS, CLAWS, and KoRT. Pretty telling. ( @A1ph4 0m3ga proof that Oxford commas are better ) I am the Regent. Smitty is filling in temporarily while DLS is on vacation and I am in the middle of a tumultuous time with my health irl that should be sorted soon. 😁

All I have got to say about everything in this thread… Oh dear…

I spent 15 minutes fixing where you used “opposing side” instead of “signatories,” so they probably stem from those alterations (or me typing on the dark where I couldn’t see my keys super well lol) That clause of the treaty was agreed upon a while before you joined NATO, this has been in the cooker for a while 😛

To begin this I simply must lead with a Merry Christmas to all of CN! If you don't celebrate Christmas, then Happy Holidays! If you don't celebrate the holidays either, you're probably a watery tart that has no fun. Over the recent months of war and for quite a long time before that it has been a pleasure to work with our amazing friends in NATO. We have been holding onto this upgrade for a quite a while now, to Smitty's misery (sorry not sorry) and a lesser extent, my own. With that said, it is my pleasure to announce the following treaty upgrade. Septentrio Autem Quod Murus PREAMBLE All parties involved in this treaty are to remain sovereign and shall not be governed by the other party. They shall remain separate unless stated in another treaty. This treaty acts to bind the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Freehold of the Wolves in a state of mutual defense, recognizing our alliance's friendship and commitment to one another. The parties involved will henceforth be referred to as NATO and FTW. Article 0: IT’S ALL FIRINGLINE’S FAULT NATO and FTW agree that FiringLine is always at fault. They also agree that while not much better, Velocity is decidedly better than FiringLine. ARTICLE 0 #2: HOUSE BANNERS NATO and FTW acknowledge each other’s sovereignty. Both signatories agree to aid in the protection of said sovereignty and freedom as an alliance. ARTICLE 1: IT’S CALLED “MAKING PEACE” NATO and FTW agree not to attack, or commit actions of espionage on the other signatory. Such actions are regarded as a breach of this treaty. A breach of this treaty will be seen as revocation of said treaty. ARTICLE 2: A THREE-EYED RAVEN NATO and FTW agree to share all relevant information of worth. It is agreed that this information shall not be falsified, or changed in any way, to mislead the other sihnatory. Such falsifications shall be regarded as a breach of the treaty. ARTICLE 3: CALLING THE BANNERS Any declaration of war upon either NATO or FTW is considered an act of aggression on both. Both NATO and FTW agree that should the other come under attack, it is mandatory that all available aid, be it military, financial or diplomatic, will be made available should it be requested. Each signatory also has the option of joining a war declared by the other signatory. ARTICLE 4: MASTERS OF COIN NATO and FTW agree that they will endeavor to contribute financial aid to the other party. Such aid must be within the limits of reality, and not without reason. Such requests for financial aid shall be placed in the other signatory's embassy and the leader shall have to acknowledge the aid request. An acceptable reason must be stated, or the requested aid may not be given. Aid requests may be rejected at the discretion of the other signatory with justified reasoning. Any aid requests made under false pretense shall be viewed as a breach of this treaty. ARTICLE 5: PARTING WAYS To cancel this treaty any time, the leader of the canceling party must inform the other signatory's leader. Following the notice of cancellation, a 96 hour grace period shall begin, during which neither party may breach any article of the above treaty.

Having talked extensively to those that take pride in being the Old Guard, I think I am officially qualified to say that being old is great! Within CN there are very few alliances I have talked to that I would say are on par in terms of cool with our new friends in the Old Guard. The irony of me being the one to post this is not lost, I hope. In the spirit of older things, I used a pixelated FTW flag and an older, lower quality OG flag, all upsized. Old Is Gold Again Preamble The Old Guard and the Freehold of The Wolves, henceforth referred to as OG and FTW respectively (or "the signatories"), wish to confirm their new and enduring friendship and shared commitment to each other, and make sure that being Old stays Cool. Article I – Sovereignty The signatories and their respective member nations recognize and respect each other's sovereignty and political independence. The government of both signatories will do their best to aid in the protection of each other’s sovereignty and freedom as an alliance. Article II – No Canes To Be Swung FTW and OG will refrain from espionage and the threat or use of force against each other and will settle all disputes between them by peaceful diplomatic means. Both signatories and their members shall act politely and in a friendly manner to each other at all times, and especially will refrain from using their canes as weapons. Article III – I’ll Let You Know If Kids Trespass In signing this agreement, both signatory alliances recognize that communication and intelligence is the foundation of a strong and enduring relationship. Both signatory alliances agree to productive inter-alliance communication and the sharing of intelligence. Article IV – Mutually Defended Lawns This Provision hereby dictates that if either of the signatories find themselves directly attacked by a foreign aggressor, or their lawn being trespassed, the other signatory is, upon request, required to join the war against the foreign aggressor within a reasonable time. The attacked signatory of this agreement has the right to waive such assistance if they feel it is not necessary. If one of the signatories goes to war because of other treaty obligations, they may request military or financial aid from the other signatory, who is encouraged but not obligated to provide that assistance. Article V – Throwing Shoes While recognizing each other's independence, this article allows either signatory of this treaty to request the aid of the other in their offensive wars in the form of coming in to fight with their shoes flying. If a request for aid is received the signatory that received it is encouraged but not required to join the war. Article VI – Termination If either signatory wishes to terminate this treaty, they must privately inform the government of the other signatory at least one week in advance. Signatories: Old Guard: Arminius Triumvir Freehold of the Wolves: King - Dark Lord Sauron, The All-Seeing Monarch Hand of The King - Pjk11, the sentient Taco Regent - Velocity, only in charge sometimes, probably Council of Lords Lord of State - Velocity, like FL but slightly improved Lord of War - CodArk2, Autocorrect Expect Lord of Economic Affairs - Bowlzahoy, who is definitely not our second robot Lord of Internal Affairs - Smitty, Alliance Archivist, Master Wiki Editor, Lord of GIFs, and Master of Annoyance As I said at the start, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays (or both)! Now go on, scram! Get back to your parties or whatever else you have going on.

Legend tells that Jerdge is the only thing on the Cybermon roster that can break free from a master ball.. may as well not waste it

Obligatory @Walshington due to a name spotting, and congrats to NG and MONGOLS!! It’s not every day a treaty like this comes into being.

I wasn’t aware that OBR and OG scares Doom so much.

Super glad to have a treaty with my harmless friends on paper after like two years of messing around in our embassy!

Nice. This war is officially Relevant Again.

Welcome the fight, masters of mason! I will enjoy seeing the fireworks go off once more.

Can confirm that I’m a deep state actor for Al Bundy. 🙂

Last I checked, Fellowship of the Wolves only has one man on the AA. Lot of effort rolling out against one guy. In slightly more seriousness, welcome to the fight, and prepare to get some casualties like you’ve never gotten casualties before 😉
